I took part in the third /early State of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (SoSTEM) event on Wednesday January 21.Before SoSTEM started, I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut (宇航员)and has been to space four times. “ 1 enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality,"he said.Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. When I was in the middle school, I knew I wanted to be a scientist, but I wasn't sure what kind," she told me. As she grew up, she became interested in space. Her advice to young people who want to become a scientist is to “follow your dreams”.My third interview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields. She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries, even though sometimes history records have left women out.Finally, I interviewed Kathy Pham, who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services. I asked her advice for young people who want a career (职业)in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.After the interview, we had a free talk. When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years, Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources arecertainly going to be needed.My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM. Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said: Whatever your love is—whether it's clothing, space or cars一 today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like.44.How many people did Linda interview before SoSTEM startedA.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six45.When Dr. Stofan was young, she wanted to become_________ .A.a reportB.a teacherC.a scientistD.an astronaut46.Kathy Pham advised kids who want a career in computer scienceto_________.A.talk with famous peopleB.write a scientific reportC.read more books on the subjectD.make scientific discoveries47.What can we learn from the passageA.Charles Bolden has never been to space.B.Megan Smith encouraged boys to step into STEM fields.C.Linda Scott attended the event on January 25.D.There will be many chances for people interested in STEMCWe all know that zebras have stripes (条纹).But why It’s hard to get a black-and-white answer. This is a question not just common people like us have asked, but scientists too.Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind thestripes and many theories (理论)have been suggested.According to a recent study, the type of stripes changes depending on the temperature where zebras live. The warmer the place is, the more stripes they may have. From this study, scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra coolin warmer places.According to the cooler temperature theory, when air hits a zebra, the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white. This is because black color takes in more heat than white. So at the point where the black and white meet, there is cooling airflow.It can quickly cool a zebra’s skin! In fact,scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have 5.4T lower skin temperature than other animals without stripes in the same area.Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation (适应)by zebras to defend (防卫) themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras. The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too, since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot. Flies also don't like landing onstriped surfaces.There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common. One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especiallyfrom lions. Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by them. What’s more, zebras are a large group of animals living together. When a number of zebras stand or move together, stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.48.Stripes are helpful for zebras to_________.A.stay coolB.move togetherC.liveincoldplacesD.fight against diseases49.How do zebras' stripes protect them from lionsA.Lions may be frightened away by strips.B.Lions may see stripes as many animals.C.Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.D.Stripes may make lions confused.50.The underlined words “holds merit "in Paragraph 4 probablymean"_________".A.works wellB.sounds unreasonableC.causes disagreementD.needs supporting facts51.What is the passage mainly aboutA.Whylionscan'teatzebras.B.How horseflies keep away from zebras.C.Whyzebrashavestripes.D.How animals adapt to nature.DEntertainment (娱乐)is a developing business. Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology. More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money. Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism(逃避).It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world—not our own.Why do we want to escapeBoredom or loneliness: The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change. A TV running in the background, and maybe catching our attention every now and then, keeps us company.Fear and avoidance: We don’t want to face something we fear, or can’t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it. We’re scared to go for what we want, so we choose to turn on the TV.Struggle: Life sometimes feels like a battle—traffic, work, takingcare of ourselves and keeping up with what's going on. Al the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly infront of TV.Escaping has never been easier than today. We have many forms of escape. And the most favored isentertainment._________Easy to reach and affordable: You can stay at home and watch TV, orsurf online all day long.Social connection: one can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team. Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about.All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we're doing. And more importantly, we have complete control over when entertainment comesto an end.To face our fears and reality or to escapeIf you tried escaping before and it didn't help, it's time to deal with the problems you face.Before watching a TV show, make sure that the important thing is taken care of. Leave your favorite show to the end of the day, after you'vetaken care of what matters to you. This will allow you to enjoy every minute.There is nothing wrong with entertainment, if we don' t place a higher value on it than our own reality and what matters to us.When we entertain ourselves mindfully, we won't need to escape. We turn entertainment into the reality of the moment. And when we're done, we move on一with no regret. And that can be a lot of fun.52.One reason why we want to escape is that___________ .A.we are eager to get over our fearB.we prefer to sit mindlessly before TVC.people are willing to pay for their entertainmentD.people need some excitement and change in daily life53.Which of the following sentences might be the best to fill in the blankA.Who can we socialize withB.What's the best form of escapismC.Why is entertainment in such great needD.How does the entertainment business develop54.Which of the following can explain the underlined sentenceA.We can stop entertaining when we want to.B.It'smore important to control our daily life.C.Entertainment leads to the loss of self-control.D.We need to learn about all forms of entertainment.55.The writer may agree that________ .A.escape from life is more difficult than everB.entertainment is the best way for us to enjoy lifeC.the popularity of entertainment depends on technologyD.we can truly entertain ourselves with real matters done七、五选五Following Their DreamsFlorence lived in the countryside of Kenya (肯尼亚)in Africa. When she was 12, she wanted nothing more than to finish school. But for many girls like her, school is not a choice.___56___. Families will probably spend money educating boys. Many girls are forced to marry.___57___. It was Beads for Education, started by Lisa Stevens, that helped realize her dream. Beads has provided many girls with the best education possible. Florence was the first of 320 Kenyan girls in third grade.___58___. During her visit, she heard that many women made and sold baskets. They used the money to send their daughters to school. Two years later, she started to help sell the Kenyan crafts in the U. S. In 1998, Stevens began helping girls continue their education.___59___. In January, 2015, she opened the fourth one."I want to provide the girls with the best education possible and prepare them for college and beyond,"Stevens said.The new high school is named Tembea, which means "to walk". Florence is walking toward a bright future.___60___. "Florence is the first in her family to finish high school and college," says Stevens."She is an example for all girls in Kenya."八、任务型阅读Our views towards life change over the time. When I was around five years old, I was in a car accident. At that time, I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive. As I look back to think what happened on that night, I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not have gotten serious injuries.The clay of the accident started out great. My brother, Troy and I had spent the night before at JoAnn's house, with Heather, and JoAnn's husband Gary. The next day we spent playing inside the house, because it was cold, windy and rainy outside. At night, JoAnn told us we were going out andthat where we were going was a surprise. The five of us climbed into an old car, and we set off for our surprise. It was still cold, windy, and raining cats and dogs outside when we left. Troy, Heather and 1 sat in the backseat together happily. The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos (混乱)! The road was so slick (滑的)that the car lost control. Glass was flying everywhere, and it sounded like there was noise all around us. Then it was totally quiet, except for the sound of the rain and wind. Troy, Heatlier and I were all lying on top of one another. The three of us were crying, not knowing what had happened. JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm (使平静)us down and kept asking us if we were all right. Luckily, none of us was injured, just a few cuts. After that I only remember sitting there in the cold, dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us. We never got to the surprise that night. Bui at least we were able to go home in one piece.After my brother and I got home that night, I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to. I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night. As I think of the tragedy (悲剧)that could have happened on that night, I realize how precious (宝贵)life is. I treasure my family and friends, and hope that we will share a loving, caring, and rewarding lifetime together. Things seldom go the way I plan them to, but I take a deep breath, try to laugh, and make the best of it.61.Did the accident happen at night62.What was the weather like when the accident happened63.How did the accident happen64.What was the writer doing when Gary asked for help65.What is the passage mainly about九、书面表达根据中文提示和英文海报内容,写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的短文,所给的英文提示词仅供选用。

I enjoywatching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality,he said.Next I spoke to Dr.Ellen Stofan.She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. When I was in the middle school,I knew I wanted to be a scientist,but I wasn t sure what kind, she told me.As she grew up,she became interested in space.Her advice to young people who want to become a scientist is to follow your dreams .My third interview was with Megan Smith.She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields.She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries,even though sometimes history records have left women out.Finally,I interviewed Kathy Pham,who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services.I asked her advice for young people who want a career(职业)in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.After the interview,we had a free talk.When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next10years,Dr.Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources(能源)are certainly going to be needed.My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM.Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said: Whatever your love is whether it s clothing,space or cars today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like.44.How many people did Linda interview before SoSTEM started?A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.45.When Dr.Stofan was young,she wanted to become.A.a reporterB.a teacherC.a scientistD.an astronaut46.Kathy Pham advised kids who want a career in computer science to.A.talk with famous peopleB.write a scientific reportC.read more books on the subjectD.make scientific discoveries47.What can we learn from the passage?A.Charles Bolden has never been to space.B.Megan Smith encouraged boys to step into STEM fields.C.Linda Scott attended the event on January25.D.There will be many chances for people interested in STEM.CWe all know that zebras have stripes(条纹).But why?It shard to get a black-and-white answer.This is a question not justcommon people like us have asked,but scientists too.Several studies have been done to find out the reason behindthe stripes and many theories(理论)have been suggested.According to a recent study,the type of stripes changes dependingon the temperature where zebras live.The warmer the place is,themore stripes they may have.From this study,scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra cool in warmer places.According to the cooler temperature theory,when air hits a zebra,the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white.This is because black color takes in more heat than white.So at the point where the black and white meet,there is cooling airflow.It can quickly cool a zebra s skin!In fact,scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have5.4℉lower skin temperature than other animals without stripes in the same area.Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation(适应)by zebras to defend(防卫) themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras.The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too, since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot.Flies also don t like landing on striped surfaces. There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common.One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especiallyfrom lions.Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by them.What s more,zebras are a large group of animals living together.When a number of zebras stand or move together,stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.48.Stripes are helpful for zebras to.A.stay coolB.move togetherC.live in cold placesD.fight against diseases49.How do zebras stripes protect them from lions?A.Lions may be frightened away by stripes.B.Lions may see stripes as many animals.C.Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.D.Stripes may make lions confused.50.The underlined words holds merit in Paragraph4probably mean .A.works wellB.sounds unreasonableC.causes disagreementD.needs supporting facts51.What is the passage mainly about?A.Why lions can t eat zebras.B.How horseflies keep away from zebras.C.Why zebras have stripes.D.How animals adapt to nature.DEntertainment(娱乐)is a developing business.Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology.More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money.Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism(逃避).It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world not our own.•Why do we want to escape?Boredom or loneliness:The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change.A TV running in the background,and maybe catching our attention every now and then,keeps us company.Fear and avoidance:We don t want to face something we fear,or can t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it.We re scared to go for what we want,so we choose to turn on the TV. Struggle:Life sometimes feels like a battle traffic,work,taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what s going on.At the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.Escaping has never been easier than today.We have many forms of escape.And the most favored is entertainment.•㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀㊀Easy to reach and affordable:You can stay at home and watch TV,or surf online all day long. Social connection:One can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team.Entertainment has become something people have in common and can talk about.All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we re doing.And more importantly,we have complete control over when entertainment comes to an end.•To face our fears and reality or to escape?If you tried escaping before and it didn t help,it s time to deal with the problems you face. Before watching a TV show,make sure that the important thing is taken care of.Leave your favorite show to the end of the day,after you ve taken care of what matters to you.This will allow you to enjoy every minute.There is nothing wrong with entertainment,if we don t place a higher value on it than our own reality and what matters to us.When we entertain ourselves mindfully,we won t need to escape.We turn entertainment into the reality of the moment.And when we re done,we move on with no regret.And that can be a lot of fun.52.One reason why we want to escape is that.A.we are eager to get over our fearB.we prefer to sit mindlessly before TVC.people are willing to pay for their entertainmentD.people need some excitement and change in daily life53.Which of the following sentences might be the best to fill in the blank?A.Who can we socialize with?B.What s the best form of escapism?C.Why is entertainment in such great need?D.How does the entertainment business develop?54.Which of the following can explain the underlined sentence?A.We can stop entertaining when we want to.B.It s more important to control our daily life.C.Entertainment leads to the loss of self-control.D.We need to learn about all forms of entertainment.55.The writer may agree that.A.escape from life is more difficult than everB.entertainment is the best way for us to enjoy lifeC.the popularity of entertainment depends on technologyD.we can truly entertain ourselves with real matters done七㊁阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项㊂(共10分,每小题2分)Following Their DreamsFlorence lived in the countryside of Kenya(肯尼亚)in Africa.When she was12,she wanted nothing more than to finish school.But for many girls like her,school is not a choice.㊀56㊀.Families will probably spend money educating boys.Many girls are forced to marry.㊀57㊀.It was Beads for Education,started by Lisa Stevens,that helped realize her dream.Beads has provided many girls with the best education possible.Florence was the first of320Kenyan girls in third grade.㊀58㊀.During her visit,she heard that many women made and sold baskets.They used the money to send their daughters to school.Two years later,she started to help sell the Kenyan crafts(工艺品)in the U.S.In1998,Stevens began helping girls continue their education.㊀59㊀.In January,2015,she opened the fourth one.

seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive.As I look back to think what happened on that night,I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not have gotten serious injuries.The day of the accident started out great.My brother,Troy,and I had spent the night before at JoAnn s house,with Heather,and JoAnn s husband Gary.The next day we spent playing inside the house,because it was cold,windy and rainy outside.At night,JoAnn told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise.The five of us climbed into an old car,and we set off for our surprise.It was still cold,windy,and raining cats and dogs outside when we left.Troy,Heather and I sat in the backseat together happily.The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos(混乱)!The road was so slick(滑的)that the car lost control.Glass was flying everywhere,and it sounded like there was noise all around us.Then it was totally quiet,except for the sound of the rain and wind.Troy, Heather and I were all lying on top of one another.The three of us were crying,not knowing what had happened.JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm(使平静)us down and kept asking us if we were all right.Luckily,none of us was injured,just a few cuts.After that I only remember sitting there in the cold,dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us.We never got to the surprise that night.But at least we were able to go home in one piece.After my brother and I got home that night,I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to.I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night.As I think of the tragedy(悲剧)that could have happened on that night,I realize how precious(宝贵)life is.I treasure my family and friends,and hope that we will share a loving,caring,and rewarding lifetime together.Things seldom go the way I plan them to,but I take a deep breath,try to laugh,and make the best of it.61.Did the accident happen at night?62.What was the

I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.I was 42 about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise.I wasn't the only speaker—I would 43 the honor with five other students.Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 44 me.How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?Graduation day soon arrived and, as 45 .I was nervous.I'd been practicing my speech for days, and I had it 46 .But I had never been so 47 in my life.The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 48 came.My name was announced.I managed to reach the platform without falling down.But within minutes, I was 49 , heading back to my seat.Now I still have the 50 of that speech.My voice trembled a little, but 51 it was clear and strong.I'm proud of that tape.I achieved something I'd never 52 I spoke in front of hundreds of people.53 I didn't realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 54 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my 55 .I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation.But I'm glad I did.I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments.36.A.hang B.look C.walk D.run37.A.characters B.interests C.games D.subjects38.A.money B.credits C.time D.standards39.A.luck B.benefit C.fear D.solution40.A.burning B.breaking C.aching D.beating41.A.punishment B.reward C.arrangement D.sympathy42.A.doubtful B.optimistic C.generous D.hesitant43.A.share B.bring C.spare D.give44.A.about B.for C.upon D.beyond45.A.known B.hoped C.expected D.planned46.A.thrown B.printed C.memorized D.completed47 A.interested B.terrified C.excited D.disappointed48.A.moment B.clay C.chance D.decision49.A.defeated B.stopped C.clone D.stuck50.A.picture B.tape C.paper D.word51.A.partially B.immediately C.frankly D.mostly52.A.dreamed B.made C.decided D.requested53.A.Because B.When C.Although D.Unless54.A.respect B.confidence C.freedom D.excuse55.A.shyness B.pride C.stupidity D.courage第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,40分)AThings Your Pilot Won't Tell YouYou may not be getting the airline you paid for.You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it, but half the time, you're really on a regional (地方的)airline.The regionals aren't held to the same safety standards as the majors: their pilots aren't required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesn't know that.—Captain at a major airlineIf you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight.The heating of the ground later causes bumpier (颠簸的)air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon.—Jerry Johnson , pilot, Los AngelesThe smoothest place to sit is often over or near the wing.The bumpiest place to sit is in the back.If you're in the middle, you don't move as much.—Patrick Smith, pilot, and author of Cockpit ConfidentialSit in the front if you want fresher air.The general flow of air in any airplane is from front to back.So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot, sit as close to the front as you can.Planes are generally warmest in the back.—Tech pilot at a regional airline, TexasYou never know where the safest seat is.There is no safest place to sit.In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front.—John Nance, aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain, SeattleI've been struck by lightning twice.Most pilots have.Airplanes are built to take it.You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that's it.You're not going to fall out of the sky.—Charlotte, pilot for a regional earner,.North CarolinaPeople don't understand why they can't use their cell phones.Well, what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing, .and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we ideally are.—Jim Tilmon, retired American Airlines pilot, Phoenix56.Jerry Johnson advises nervous fliers to ______.A.sit in the back B.fly in the morning C.fly with major airlines D.avoid flying in bad weather57.The best seats for those who need fresh air are ______.A.in the, front B.in the middle C.in the back D.near the wing58.Passengers' use of cellphones before landing is likely to ______.A.increase the risk of being struck by lightningB.make it difficult for pilots to control the planeC.cause the instruments of the plane to break downD.affect pilots' judgment about the height of the planeAll you have is what you bring with youI've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in.My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old.She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list.She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed."I'll be right back." she said.She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up.I was left staring at the cashier, who was staling at me."Do you have money for me, son?" she said."I'll need to be paid." -I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself.So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.By the time my mom returned, I was angry."You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her I"Now that I'm an adult, you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet.I want to be prepared in case I need it.I've always admired people who are over-prepared.In college, I had a classmate named Norman.One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb (灯泡)on the projector blew out.We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new' projector."It's Okay." he announced."There's nothing to worry about."We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out.He had brought along a spare bulb for the Overhead projector.Who could even think of that?I often told my students, " When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you." And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office.So take money.Pack a light bulb.Be prepared.59.Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases'?A.The boy was shopping by himself.B.The boy's mother asked her to do so.C.The cashier was playing a joke on him.D.The boy's mother was away for something else.60.Why was the boy angry with his mother?A.His mother left him alone.B.He lost face in front of the cashier.C.His mother forgot to buy something.D.He had just quarreled with the cashier.61.Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?A.He was always well-prepared.B.His presentation was about bulbs.C.He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.D.He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.62.What do the two stories tell us?A.Accidents happen almost every day.B.Money is the key that opens all doors.C.In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.D.Chances favor those who are well-prepared.The Netherlands on Monday introduced its first-ever " intelligent bicycle , fitted with electronic devices to help bring clown the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in the bicycle-mad country.Developed for the government by the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), the intelligent bicycle, runs on electricity.A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two yearsand should sell for between 1, 700 to 3, 200 euros per bicycle.The devices on the bike are linked through an onboard computer with a vibrating (震动的)warning system fitted in the bicycle's saddle and handlebars to warn cyclists of the coming danger.The saddle vibrates when other cyclists approach from behind, while, the handlebars do the same when barriers appear ahead." Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get a fright when they are passed at high speed," said Maurice Kwakkernaat, one of TNO's research scientists involved in the project."The onboard system technology has already been at work in the car industry," he said.'' More and more elderly people are using a bicycle, not only for short distances, but also for longer distances," Dutch Environment and Infrastructure Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen told AFP."This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue to enjoy cycling," she said.In the Netherlands, bicycles outnumber the population of 17 million by at least one million and there are some 25,000 km of bicycle path in the country.Those statistics are set to grow as more and more people take to two-wheeled transport, leading to an increased risk of injury.Last year, 184 cyclists died in the country, of which 124, or 67% , were older than 65, according to the Central Statistics Office.The year before, 200 cyclists died, the majority of victims also being elderly.The current model weighs 25 kilograms but researchers are working on making the onboard systems smaller.63.The "intelligent bicycle is aimed to ______.A.protect the environment B.help reduce traffic pressureC.popularize the use of bicycles D.improve safety for elderly cyclists64.Which part of the intelligent bicycle will vibrate when other cyclists approach it from behind?A.The saddle.B.The wheels. C.The handlebars.D.The onboard computer.65.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.the elderly ride bicycles wherever they go B.the elderly are planning to give up cyclingC.the number of elderly cyclists is decreasing D.the accident rate among elderly cyclists is high66.Which is the best title for the passage?A.A Test Bicycle B.Elderly Cyclists C.A Smart Bicycle D.A Bicycle-mad CountryA generation of parents raised according to the permissive principles of postwar childcare experts is rediscovering the importance of saying "No" to their children.They are beginning to reclaim the house as their own.Even spanking (打屁股)is back.While today's parents do not want to return to the Victorian era (时代)—when children were seen, spanked, but not heard—there is a growing acknowledgement that the laissez-faire approach produced a generation of children running rings around puzzled parents struggling to restore order.Janthea Brigden, a trainer with Parent Network, says: " The problem is that parents don't want all that controlling things.What they want is to be able to discipline (管教)their children through teaching and encouraging."According to Steve Biddulph, the author of More Secrets of Happy Children, the permissive era was often just an excuse to ignore children.He believes discipline involves firm but friendly teaching and does not need to involve punishment.He teaches a method called "stand and think" , where a child is helped to figure out what is wrong and how to get it right.Mr.Biddulph understands parents using spanking, but lie is against it."The happiest children are those who know Mum and Dad are in charge.As children grow into their teens, more negotiation can take place, such as: Prove you can be home safely by 1l pm, and we might let you stay out till midnight."" There is no good evidence that an occasional, properly administered spanking is harmful in any way." says John Rosemond, an American who has won a huge following by calling for "parent power".It is pure nonsense to believe that restricting children to their room as a punishment could make them have negative feelings about the room and cause sleep problems.Mr.Rosemond tracks the overturning of traditional family values to the end of the Second World War.He blames the change of the American family into a child-centered, self-respect-oriented (以…为导向)unit on psychologists and social workers, who for 30 years have weakened traditional approaches.Previous generations of American parents raised children not by the book, but by self-evident truth, he says.Children should be seen and hot heard.If you make your bed, you'll have to lie in it.He says that those phrases contain time-honored understanding and principles that helped children to develop what we refer to as the "three Rs" of parenting: respect, responsibility and resourcefulness.67.Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word "laissez-faire" in the secondparagraph?A.Let it be.B.Go for it.C.Get it right.D.Take it easy.68.If his child did something wrong, Steve Biddulph would ______.A.give him a good beating B.lock him up in a dark roomC.ask him to stand in a corner for hours D.help him find out the problem and solution69.By mentioning the underlined part in the last paragraph, Mr.Rosemond .A.blames parents for ignoring children's rightsB.reminds parents to communicate more with childrenC.encourages parents to involve children more in family affairsD.explains how previous generations of parents raised children70.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The causes of discipline problems.B.The best way to discipline children.C.Different opinions on ways of parenting.D.Differences between parents of different times.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)For people with thousands of pages to read, speed reading seems like a manna (甘露)from heaven.In addition, speed reading helps lighten the load of information you have to absorb since it provides a filter that you can use in screening all bits of information before you approach them.71 Examining how much information you need will help you identify how you should read a certain document to maximize your learning and comprehension.Thorough reading may no longer be necessary in some cases, such as when you only need an outline of a certain document.Another skill that can ease the burden of a.reader is the ability to read words in blocks.Make sure you do not spend too long on a certain block.72 This will also make reading less tiresome and boring.To master this important skill, you have to practice reading more and more words in a certain block at one time.A suggestion shared by some experts regarding this step is to increase the distance between you and the document you are reading.If you can read more and more words in one block, you can cut down on the time it usually takes you to read a certain text and you will be able to read more in a shorter period.Readers should also practice reducing the number of times they go back to previous sections or blocks.Using a pointer such as the tip of a pencil or pen can also help to make the flow of your reading smoother and faster.73 Thus, your speed in reading will largely depend on the speed of the movement of your pointer.If you still find yourself confused about the topic even after you have finished reading the document, do not re-read right away.Re-reading immediately will just lead to slower speed in reading.74 Getting your own reading corner will also help.75 Continue practicing and practicing the techniques aforementioned and soon, you'll achieve the reading speed that will work best for you.A.In this technique, your eyes will follow the tip of the pointer.B.This saves time and reduces the effort that you have to make.C.Taking a short break first is recommended before reading the material again.D.As a final note, the most.important point is consistent and deliberate practice.E.Your invaluable time can be saved if you can have your reading speed doubled.F.The first step to increase your reading speed is to identify the specific information you need.G.Reducing the time you spend on a specific number of words in a block will make no difference.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)你得知故宫免费对教师开放,于是给你校外教写一封邮件,包括以下内容:1.开放时间:每月的第一个周三;2.订票方式:提前10天网上预约;3.入场条件:出示教师证。

I took part in the third /early State of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (SoSTEM) event on Wednesday January 21.Before SoSTEM started, I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut (宇航员)and has been to space four times. “ 1 enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turn them into reality," he said.Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. When I was in the middle school, I knew I wanted to be a scientist, but I wasn't sure what kind," she told me. As she grew up, she became interested in space.Her advice to young people who want to become a scientist is to “follow your dreams”.My third interview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields. She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries, even though sometimes history records have left women out.Finally, I interviewed Kathy Pham, who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services. I asked her advice for young people who want a career (职业)in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.After the interview, we had a free talk. When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years, Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources are certainly going to be needed.My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM. Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said : Whatever your love is—whether it's clothing, space or cars 一today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like.How many people did Unda interview before SoSTEM started?Three.Four.Five.SixWhen Dr. Stofan was young, she wanted to become_______________ .a reporta teachera scientistan astronautKathy Pham advised kids who want a career in computer science to_________________ .talk with famous peoplewrite a scientific reportread more books on the subjectmake scientific discoveriesWhat can we learn from the passage?A.

This is a question not just common people like us have asked, but scientists too.Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind the stripes and many theories (理论)have beensuggested.According to a recent study, ihe type of stripes changes depending on the temperature where zebras live. The warmer the place is, the more stripes they may have. From this study, scientists believe that stripes may help to keep a zebra cool in warmer places.According to the cooler temperature theory, when air hits a zebra, the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white. This is because black color takes in more heat than white. So at the point where the black and white meet, there is cooling airflow. It can quickly cool a zebra’s skin! In fact ,scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have 5.4T lower skin temperature than other animals wilhoiit stripes in the same area.Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation (适应)by zebras to defend (防卫) themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras. The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too, since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot. Flies also don't like landing on striped surfaces.There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common. One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especially from lions. Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by tliem. Whafs more, zebras are a large group of animals living together. When a number of zebras stand or move together, stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.Stripes are helpful for zebras to__________ .stay coolmove togetherlive in cold placesfight against diseasesHow do zebras' stripes protect them from lions?Lions may be frightened away by strips.Lions may see stripes as many animals.Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.Stripes may make lions confused.The underlined words “holds merit "in Paragraph 4 probably mean" "works wellB. C. D. A. B. C. D. 【小题4】sounds unreasonablecauses disagreementneeds supporting factsWhat is the passage mainly about?Why lions can't eat zebras.How horseflies keep away from zebras.Why zebras have stripes.How animals adapt to nature.15.【2015 北京 西城区 初三 一模】DEntertainment (娱乐)is a developing business. Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology. More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money. Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism (逃避).It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world—not our own.• Why do we want to escape?Boredom or loneliness: The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change. A TV running in the background, and maybe catching our attention every now and then, keeps us company.Fear and avoidance: We don’t want to face something we fear, or can’t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it. We’re scared to go for what we want, so we choose to turn on the TV.Struggle: Life sometimes feels like a battle—traffic, work, taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what's going on. Al the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.Escaping has never been easier than today. We have many forms of escape.

When I was around five years old, I was in a car accident. At that time, I did not realize the seriousness of it and how lucky I was to still be alive. As I look back to think what happened on that night, I now realize how lucky my family members and I were to not have gotten serious injuries.The clay of the accident started out great. My brother, Troy and I had spent the night before at JoAnn's house, with Heather, and JoAnn's husband Gary. The next day we spent playing inside the house, because it was cold, windy and rainy outside. At night, JoAnn told us we were going out and that where we were going was a surprise. The five of us climbed into an old car, and we set off for our surprise. It was still cold, windy, and raining cats and dogs outside when we left. Troy,Heather and 1 sat in the backseat together happily. The next thing I knew was that everything was chaos (混乱)! The road was so slick (滑的)that the car lost control. Glass was flying everywhere, and it sounded like there was noise all around us. Then it was totally quiet, except for the sound of the rain and wind. Troy, Heatlier and I were all lying on top of one another. The three of us were crying, not knowing what had happened. JoAnn and Gary were trying to calm (使平静)us down and kept asking us if we were all right. Luckily, none of us was injured, just a few cuts. After that I only remember sitting there in the cold, dark night waiting for Gary to get back with people to help us. We never got to the surprise that night. Bui at least we were able to go home in one piece.After my brother and I got home that night, I remember my parents let us stay up as long as we wanted to. I guess my parents were realizing just how close they came to losing us that night. As I think of the tragedy (悲剧)that could have happened on that night, I realize how precious (宝贵)life is. I treasure my family and friends, and hope that we will share a loving, caring, and rewarding lifetime together. Things seldom go the way I plan them to, but I take a deep breath, try to laugh, and make the best of it.Did the accident happen at night?What was the weather like when the accident happened?How did the accident happen?What was the writer doing when Gary asked for help?What is the passage mainly about?任务型阅读18.【2015 北京 西城区 初三 一模】根据中文提示和英文海报内容,写出意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于50词的短文,所给的英文提示词仅供选用。

If a kid and his father take the boat tour, they need to pay ______.A. £12B. £20C. £22D. £24BI am a Kid Reporter, Linda Scott. I took part in the third yearly State of Science,Technology, Engineering and Math (SoSTEM) event on Wednesday January 21.Before SoSTEM started, I interviewed Charles Bolden. He was an astronaut (宇航员)and has been to space four times. ―I enjoy watching young people take their ideas and turnthem into reality,‖ he said.Next I spoke to Dr. Ellen Stofan. She spoke about her lifelong interest in science. ―When I was in the middle school, I knew I wanted to be a scientist, but I wasn’t sure what kind,‖ she told me. As she grew up, she became interested in space. Her advice to young people who want to become a scientist is to ―follow your dreams‖.My third interview was with Megan Smith. She talked about encouraging more girls to step into STEM fields. She told me that women have always been part of amazing scientific discoveries, even though sometimes history records have left women out.Finally, I interviewed Kathy Pham, who is working to improve health care for more Americans through IT services. I asked her advice for young people who want a career (职业) in computer science. She advised kids to join in groups working on science and technology and to read more books on the subject.After the interview, we had a free talk. When I asked which technology careers were going to be most in need in the next 10 years. Dr. Stofan noted that careers having something to do with energy sources (能源) are certainly going to be needed.My biggest take-away from the event was that the future holds many wonderful chances for people interested in STEM. Just as the computer scientist Kathy Pham said: ―Whatever your love is – whether it’s clothing, space pr cars-today you can find a STEM field where you can do something you like.‖44. How many people did Linda interview before SoSTEM started?A. Three.B. FourC. Five.D. Six.45.

What can we learn from the passage?A. Charles Bolden has never been to space.B. Megan Smith encouraged hoys to step into STEM fields.C. Linda Scott attended the event on January 25.D. There will be many chances for people interested in STEM.CWe all know that zebras have stripes (条纹). But why? It’s hard to geta black-and-white answer. This is a question not just common people likeus have asked, but scientists too.Several studies have been done to find out the reason behind thestripes and many theories (理论) have been suggested. According to arecent study, the type of stripes changes depending on the temperaturewhere zebras live. The warmer the place is, the more stripes they mayhave. From this study, scientists believe that stripes may help to keep azebra cool in warmer places.According to the cooler temperature theory, when air hits a zebra, the movements of air are stronger and faster over the black parts and slower over the white. This is because black color takes in more heat than white. So at the point where the black and white meet, there is cooling airflow. It can quickly cool a zebra’s skin! In fact, scientists have noticed that heavily striped zebras have 5.4’F lower skin temperature than other animals without stripes in the same area.Some scientists believe that stripes may be an adaptation (适应) by zebras to defend (防卫) themselves from the horseflies that follow zebras. The cooler temperature theory holds merit here too. Since disease-carrying flies like horseflies like it hot, flies also don’t like landing on striped surfaces.There also have been many other theories that have been suggested for why zebras have stripes. Some explanations are very common. One of them is that stripes may help zebras hide in grass especially from lions. Lions are color blind and even if they are not far away they may see stripes as grey and be confused by them. What’s more, zebras are a large group of animals living together. When a number of zebras stand or move together. Stripes may confuse lions into thinking it is one large animal.48. Stripes are helpful for zebras to _________.A. stay coolB. move togetherC. live in cold placesD. fight against diseases49. How do zebras’ stripes protect them from lions?A. Lions may be frightened away by stripes.B. Lions may see stripes as many animals.C. Stripes can prevent zebras from being seen.D. Stripes may make lions confused.50. The underlined words ―holds merit‖ in Paragraph 4 probably mean ―________‖.A. works wellB. sounds unreasonableC. causes disagreementD. needs supporting facts51. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why lions can’t eat zebras.B. How horseflies keep away from zebras.C. Why zebras have stripes.D. How animals adapt to nature.DEntertainment (娱乐) is a developing business. Its popularity continues to grow as it keeps up with technology. More people are willing to pay for entertainment with their time and money. Sometimes entertainment is a form of escapism (逃避). It takes us away from our reality and gets us into another world-not our own.·Why do we want to escape?Boredom or loneliness: The boredom of daily life gets to us and we feel we need some excitement and a bit change. A TV running in the background and maybe catching our attention every now and then, keeps us company.Fear and avoidance: We don’t want to face something we fear, or can’t bring ourselves to move past the fear and do something about it. We’re scared to go for what we want, so we choose to turn on the TV.Struggle: Life sometimes feels like a battle-traffic, work, taking care of ourselves and keeping up with what’s going on. At the end of the day all we want to do is forget about all of it and sit mindlessly in front of TV.Escaping has never been easier than today. We have many forms of escape. And the most favored is entertainment.·______________________________________Easy to reach and affordable: You can stay at home and watch TV, or surf online all day long.Social connection: One can line up for a new movie and socialize with other people or go to a ballgame and cheer for his or her favorite team. Entertainment has become something people have common and talk about.All forms of entertainment are okay if we know what we’re doing. And more importantly, we have complete control over when entertainment comes to an end.·To face our Fears and reality or to escape?If you tried escaping before and it didn’t help, it’s time to deal with the problems you face.Before watching a TV show, make sure that the important thing is taken care of. Leave your favorite show to the end of the day, after you’ve taken care of what matters to you, This will allow you to enjoy every minute.There is nothing wrong with entertainment. If we don’t place a higher value on it than our own reality and what mutters to us.When we entertain ourselves mindfully. we won’t need to escape. We escape. We turn entertainment into the reality of the mordent. And when we’re done, we move on—with no regret. And that can be a lot of fun.52. One reason why we want to escape is that ____.A. we are eager to get over our fearB. we prefer to sit mindlessly before TVC. people are willing to pay for their entertainmentD. people need excitement and change in daily life53. Which if the following sentences might be the best to fill in the blank?A. Who can we socialize with?B. What’s the best farm of escapism?C. Why is entertainment in such great need?D.
