A
A lot of kids have dreams they’ll never achieve due to the limitations of their little bodies. They want to fly, or to become a dinosaur, or to learn how to act like Spiderman.
Luka Tavcar, 12, has muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症) and is totally dependent on his wheelchair. Nevertheless, late last year, he had an inspired plan: to be photographed walking around and having fun.
He approached Matej Peljhan, an amateur photographer and a psychologist at CIRIUS rehabilitation (康复) center near Ljubljana, Slovenia, where Luka is a patient.
At first, Peljhan was perplexed. How could he photograph a boy who can not move or act in motion? “Luka wanted to see himself playing and having fun, but it seemed impossible,” he says.
Then Peljhan had a brainstorm: Luka could lie down on a piece of cloth and, with the help of an assistant, Peljhan would pose the boy as if he were jumping, climbing stairs, moving downhill on a skateboard, and playing basketball. Then Peljhan would shoot these images from above. The photos took about a month to produce; all were shot early this year.
Peljhan, who lost his right arm and left eye as a child, says his own disabilities motivated him to make the photographs. “I understand people with limitations,” he says.
He named the series “The Little Prince” after the French story by Antoine de Saint-Exupery in which a boy teaches a man about trust, hope, and friendship. Luka loves the photos.
Matej himself understands what it is like to live with limitations—he lost his right arm and left eye as a child.“Luka wants to stay positive and his imagination helps him forget his physical limitation,” says Peljhan. “He’s fragile, but he can see the world differently.”
36.The idea of photographing Luka in motion was from .
A.Peljhan

37.What does the underlined word “perplexed” in Paragraph 4 mean?

y down on a surface
D.experienced a lot of pain
39.According to the passage, those special pictures .
A.make Luka feel sad
B.make Luka stay positive
C.encourage Luka to do exercise
D.interest Luka in photographing
40.What’s the best title of the passage?

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking,” a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain i s known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.
Thanks for your listening. I’m your announcer Anna Matteo.
46.From Paragraph 1, we can learn that women .
A.are more hard-working than men
B.are more multi-tasking than men
C.are more careful than men
D.go shopping more than men
47.When asked to do something complicated, men .
A.only use the “reason” side of the brain
B.only use th e “creative” side of the brain
e different parts of the brain
e one part of the brain
48.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Men like doing something difficult.
B.Men take a less direct path to find a solution.
C.Women usually deal with a problem indirectly.
D.Women brains have more connections on one side.
49.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us .
A.that men and women really do think differently
B.who want to go shopping more, men or women
C.why women want to do many things at one time
D.that men and women all like to drink milk
50.Where does this passage probably come from?
A.A textbook.
B.A newspaper.
C.A radio report.
D.A popular magazine.

Scientists have always been interested in the high level of organization in ant societies. American researchers have watched ants build life-saving rafts to keep afloat during floods. They also have documented how ant colonies choose their next queen—the female whose job is to produce eggs rather than seek food for others.
New technology is helping to improve researchers’ understanding of the insects. But there is still a
lot to be learned.
Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are perfectly at home in an environment where flooding is common. To save themselves, the insects connect their legs together and create floating rafts. Some ant rafts can be up to 20 centimeters wide.
David Hu who is a mechanical engineer with the Georgia Institute of Technology, also known as Georgia Tech, says, “If you have 100 ants, which means 600 legs, 99 percent of those legs will be connected to a neighbor. So they’re very, very good at maintaining this network.”
David Hu and other Georgia Tech researchers want to study ants and the secret of their engineering. They freeze ant rafts and then look at them with the help of computed technology, or CT, images. The pictures show that larger ants serve in central positions to which smaller ants hold. The larger ants form pockets of air that keep the insects afloat.
Scientists say small robots or materials that can change shape could be programmed in a similar way, working towards a shared goal.
Researchers at North Carolina State University are also studying ants. They examined how Indian jumping ants choose the leader of the colony when they lose their top female or queen.
51.The duty of the queen ants is to .
A.seek food
B.keep organized
y eggs
D.keep guard
52.The author takes fire ants as an example to tell us .
A.how ants survive
B.how ants communicate
C.how ants live together
D.that ants have a strict division of labour
53.What can we know from what David Hu said?
A.Ants know the way to keep a good figure.
B.Ants know the way to join together tightly.
C.Ants know the way to get along with each other.
D.Ants know the way to form a harmonious society.
54.Why did the larger ants serve in central positions in their ant rafts?
A.To stress their importance.
B.To protect the smaller ants.
C.To attract their enemies.
D.To save their ant societies.
55.What will probably be talked about in the following part?
A.How ants work in their societies.
B.How ants choose their leader.
C.How ants memorize the dead.
D.How ants escape from the flood.

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Richard Nares faced a parent’s worst fear when his son Emilio was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病) in 1998 and died from the disease two years later. But he managed to change his grief into charity by helping hundreds of families face the complex challenges of childhood illness, by giving them a lift. After his son died, he returned to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego and asked staff how he could help others. Their answer:transportation. Children diagnosed with cancer and their families must travel far and frequently to receive treatments, such as chemotherapy (化疗). And he found many children were riding the bus for over 4 hours to and from the hospital.
For some children, the chemotherapy treatments leave their immune systems so weak that they are unable to take germ-ridden public transportation.
Many parents don’t have the freedom to take unpaid time from work. Some single-parent families are forced to choose between sending their sick child on a bus to chemotherapy alone or leaving their children unsupervised.
What’s more, Richard saw how tough cancer was on many low-income families. So he decided to do something. In the beginning, he drove around the area in his Buick, giving families rides to and from the hospital, but soon more requests came in. With the help of nurses and social workers, he started the Emilio Nares Foundation to expand his work into a formal program, named Ride With Emilio.
Now, the Emilio Nares Foundation gives 2,500 free rides to children and families a year to several hospitals in Southern California. The foundation also provides support to families, providing bereavement (丧亲) and burial support.
Although he may be a hero, Richard also benefits from his work. Helping others brings him closer to his son.
56.What does the underlined word “grief” most probably mean? (1 word)
57.Why can’t some children with childhood illness take public transportation? (no more than 8 words)
58.How did Richard Nares help those families whose children were seriously ill? (no more than 10 words)

根据倒数第3段最后两句可知,图像显示较大的蚂蚁在中央位置,它们以较小蚂蚁为支撑。

较大的蚂蚁形成致使蚂蚁浮动的气囊,创建洪水期间的浮动救生筏。

55.B 推断题。

根据第1段可知,科学家一直对蚂蚁社会的高水平组织感兴趣,美国研究人员观察蚂蚁创建洪水期间的浮动救生筏,他们也记录了蚁群如何选择未来的王后,即负责产卵的雌蚁。

再结合最后一段北卡罗莱纳州立大学的研究人员也在研究蚂蚁,他们观察印度跳蚁在失去王后时如何选择群体领袖。

因此紧跟在文章最后一段的内容可能是有关它们是如何选择领袖。

书面表达
One possible version:
Since I became a senior high school student, I’ve been interested in Chinese classical novels, which are the fruits of our ancestors’ wisdom hundreds or thousands of years ago. I like reading them so much that I take advantage of my limited spare time in weekends to enjoy reading them. However, preparing for the college entrance examination prevented me from spending more time on them. I have to practice intensively for the examination by doing endless exercises and attending various lectures in order to enter a satisfactory university or college.
I think I have done well in this entrance examination and I’ll likely enter a good university. If so, I’ll have enough time to enjoy those novels I like best. While in college, I’ll devote myself to reading as long as I have spare time.

Back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying fourteen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out, but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.
A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down. Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.
