Kenyan mother Beth Mwende heard her sleeping child cry out, but did not worry after the three-year-old quickly quietened down. The next morning, however, she found her daughter, Mercy, nearly unconscious with two bite marks in the neck. “I didn’t know that it was a snake,” Mwende said.
Although snakebites are common in her hometown, antivenom medication is difficult to get. Mwende lives about 160 kilometers east of Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. So she took her daughter to a traditional healer. He placed stones over the bites. Mercy died within hours. She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year, notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.
The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center (KSRIC) is working to change that. The KSRIC hopes to have East Africa’s first antivenom medication on the market within five years. It estimates the cost will be about 30 percent of an imported product, which often sells for about US $ 30.
More than 70, 000 people are bitten in East Africa each year. Climate change and deforestation are worsening the problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.
Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi. Researchers take venom from snakes and study it before injecting small amounts into other animals, such as sheep. The animals then create antibodies that can be made into antivenom.
“Up to now, no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,’’ said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha, a senior snake
handler.
Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya, from India and Mexico, the center says.
The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can save lives, said head researcher George Adinoh.
“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with a rescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,” snake handler Kepha added.
4. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?
A. By telling a story.
B. By listing figures.
C. By referririg to documents.
D. By making a comparison.
5. Why did Mwende take her daughter to a traditional healer?
A. She couldn’t afford any modern treatment.
B. She lived where antivenom medication is not available.
C. The traditional way is very effective to treat snakebites.
D. She believed a traditional healer could cure her daughter.
6. What is causing more snakebites to happen in East Africa?
A. Lack of antivenom medication.
B. Environmental damage and climate change.
C. People’s low awareness of the danger of snakes.
D. People’s pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.
7. What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?
A. Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.
B. There is only one effective antivenom available.
C. KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.
D. People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.
C
For 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.
The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of
gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.
Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!
As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!
8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The information of industrial revolution.
B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
C. The reasons of climate change.
D. The result of extreme weather events.
9. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. We have made great achievements.
B. Some measures are still required to take.
C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.
D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.
10. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Long Live Planet Earth!
B.Environment Changes Rapidly!
C. What Serious Global Warming!
D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!
11. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
A. B.
C. D.
D
What will future schools look like in 100 years? Imagine future schools in which students are totally engaged in a class. They are concentrating on working together to solve real-world problems. They are self-driven and are coming up withamazing ideas on the spot. They are concerned with each other’s well-being as part of a team. Their concerns reach far beyond the classroom to others all over the globe.
The school of the future will be an amazing melting pot of different peoples coming together to solve real-world problems.
Will they even be called “schools” in the future?
The teacher-student relationship is changing. Teachers are acting more as helpers rather than keepers of all knowledge. Students are driving their own education to the path that they feel best fits them. In the future, employers may not be as concerned with a diploma. They’ll look more at cases and examples of how students contribute to solving real-world problems. They’ll want to know how well they work in a team.
What will problem-solving look like in the future?
Information from the Internet is accessible everywhere and at unimaginable speeds. Kids are connected to news around the world in real time. Imagine someone could put out a request to the global community to help solve an issue in their own community! Classes can adopt an issue and work with other classes around the world in real time to create solutions.
What will information look like in the future?
It’s already everywhere. Users can get flooded by the constant flow of information. The need to understand what is true and what is not is important. The flipped classroom (翻转课堂) has already completely changed lecture-based lessons. It presents interesting content to students before they even come to class. They can access the Internet as many times as they want to review the lessons.
12. What is the key message of the first paragraph?
A. The things students will do in the future school.
B. The situation where students will be in the future.
C. The attention students will pay to in the classroom.
D. The methods students will use to study in the classroom.
13. What will be thought highly of when students solve real-world problems?
A. Respect.
B. Patience.
C. Teamwork.
D. Concern.
14. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?
A. Teachers encourage students to develop leadership.
B Students are really relaxed with their heavy study.
C. The employers value students’ diplomas most.
D. Students have the right to choose the most suitable lessons.
15. What’s the purpose of the flipped classroom?
A. To help students to improve the problem-solving ability.
B. To provide the lessons for students to study before or after class.
C. To help students to keep in contact with the outside world.
D. To help students to understand the most difficult content.

It fills my heart with two feelings until I pick up my pen to write to you. One is the great joy of having landed a foreign country for post-graduation. The other, obviously, is the sadness of be away from you all.
I actually felt tired after having travelled by air for such many hours. Then getting settling also exhausted me. Although the college and the lecturers are the second to none in perfectness, at several moments I felt like bursting into tear. I felt extreme homesick. Finally, that has not been overcome totally, so far. Yes, one had to be strong, in the end.
There is a number of things to share but I will stop myself here.
第二节书面表达（满分25分）
52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Twenty years ago, Chase Poust was only 7. On Sunday morning just before the Memorial Day, he, his dad Steven, and his 4-year-old sister, Abigail, were out for a family boating trip on Florida's St. Johns River, which was
trackless and almost nobody knew about it. And there's no rescue center nearby. Chase and Abigail were swimming at the back of the anchored boat while Steven was on deck (甲板) fishing.
It was a perfect outing- it was so peaceful and quiet and the color1 s of the deep blue sky, the light green river water and the mild late May sunshine mixed to create a magic scene. Everything was sound until a strong current emerged and loosened Abigail's grasp and she let go of the boat. Instantly realizing his sister would be swept away, Chase let go of the boat as well to try and reach her. At the same time, Chase screamed at his father desperately.
Without thinking twice, Steven jumped into the water and swam towards the two kids with all his efforts. But after realizing he couldn't keep up with both kids, he was faced with a heartbroken decision. He told them he loved them very much because he wasn't sure what's going to happen. Steven tried his best to stick with both of his children. He wore himself out. But his little daughter was washed away from him. Directing Chase to swim to shore for help Steven stayed behind, keeping as close as he could to Abigail as the life-vest that was keeping her above the waves floated further and further from his reach.
It was a tough go for the 7-year-old, but rather than attempting to swim all out, Chase wisely paced himself. Stopping to float or dog paddle when he was tired, he'd rest and then set off again. The current was going the opposite way of going to the boat and the shore, so it was very hard to swim that way for Chase.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

An hour later, Chase swam to the shore, anyhow.
