Kevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “ Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe,” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.
In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low – income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.
At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot – dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all- time high.
The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot – dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.
All of his would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.
4. What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?
A. To improve their test scores. B. To create a hot- dog business.
C. To teach in low-income areas. D. To be beneficial to the local area.
5. How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?
A. Scared. B. Confident
C. Touched. D. Grateful.
6. What does the underlined word “ kindle” probably mean?
A. Inspire B. Share.
C. Continue. D. Express.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. On the Road to Recovery
B. Turning Failure into Success.
C. Growing Wealthy through Hard Work.
D. From Hopeless Youth to Business Leader
C
Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.
For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle (注射针). Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.
Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with another method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb. Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.
None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.
The biggest beneficiaries (受益者) could be people in low-and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require fridge, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.
“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.
8. What do we know about the vaccine patch?
A. It is produced by the WHO. B. It delivers vaccine to the little finger.
C. It causes slight side effects. D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.
9. The new patch has all the following benefits except that ______.
A. it can be used without a doctor B. it is provided free of charge
C. it can he kept at room temperature D. it needs less care in transportation
10. What is Kaija and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A vaccine patch that cures people of their flu.
B. A clinical study that protects people from disease.
C. A vaccine patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.
D. A method that makes traditional flu shots painless.
D
As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
12. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
13. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D Data security measures are guaranteed.
14. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s hard to say why, but it’s just true: Music is good for you. It can calm your spirit and help you vent (发泄) your anger. ____16____. But there’s one surprising yet well-documented effect that has really surprised people. Music lessons are very good for language comprehension — and they might even be better than reading lessons.
____17____. But in this new study from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), researchers were able to see music lessons improve word comprehension right before their eyes. Led by Robert Desimone, the director of McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the team tested 74 children between the ages of four and five to see how their growing language skills were affected by piano lessons.
The 74 participants were divided into three groups. ____18____. The other two had their weekly academic lessons supplemented with three 45-minute lessons per week — the first got piano lessons and the second took part in reading lessons.
What are the results? The ones who received a little extra learning every week outperformed those who just continued on with their normal studies. ____19____. Perhaps even more surprisingly the children who took the music lessons even outperformed the ones who took the reading lessons when it came to telling the difference between two words that were very similar.
“That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” Desimone said in a statement. “They really benefited from that.” To the researchers, the results point to one clear conclusion: ____20____
A. It can even be used to improve your memory.
B. It can bring people together and give us hope.
C. Music benefits students in multiple ways.
D. The control group simply carried on with their normal school classes.
E. Many studies have shown a close link between musical training and language skills.
F. If you’re a school administrator who wants kids to succeed, you’d better not cut those music lessons.
G. Even the ones who only took music lessons turned out to perform better on language puzzles than those who didn’t have extra lessons.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The mountain bongo antelope (山地紫羚), one of the most ____36____ (endanger) animals, is likely to continue wandering in the wild for longer. Having followed 18 years of conservation efforts, staff members from the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy reached a milestone this year — the first baby mountain bongo was born in the wild.
Native ____37____ equatorial forests, the mountain bongo is the largest and most colorful of the forest antelopes. The species ____38____ (see) a dramatic decline in numbers in the last few decades from ____39____ estimated population of 25, 000 to less than 100. It was mostly humans who caused its population to decrease ____40____ (dramatic).

“Due to the massive decline, we ____42____ (leave) with less than 100 of the species in the wild. The mountain bongo is only found in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore means its decline in the world. That explains ____43____ taking immediate action here is so urgent,” Robert Aruho from the Conservancy said. He added that ____44____ (enable) the animals to adapt to life in the wild, they had taken a series of measures. With the first phase of the _____45_____ (adapt) being complete, the Conservancy has moved to the second phase which involves introducing the antelopes to the wild.

47. 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。
After knowing that she couldn’t bear a child, Helen was devastated. One day while she was driving home from the café, a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen’s attention. After consideration, Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home. And they later named him Ollie.
Two years later, Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur. Ollie was Helen’s world, and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog. Helen never went out without Ollie. One day, they were hanging out together outside a supermarket, unprepared for what was coming their way.
“Hey boy, wait in the car. I’ll be back, alright?” Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head. She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.
Moments later, there was a sudden outburst of chaos. Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside. The whole area began to flood unexpectedly. People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.
12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby. He had no time to think and ran after them.
Matt hurried upstairs with the rest. Suddenly, Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. “What happened?” she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood. All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.
“OLLIE..., I left my dog in the car,” she cried, running toward the window. “My dog is trapped in the car. Somebody, please...”
Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood. Helen was frightened to go out because she didn’t know how to swim. Matt understood Helen’s anxiety and ran to her pet’s rescue.
He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. “Hey kid, where are you going? You will drown,” someone shouted. But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie. In the meanwhile, some people placed a call to the rescue center.
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。
He braved the currents and swam to the car.

Kevin, diagnosed with Dyslexia(读写困难症), rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “ Yes,” “No,” or “Maybe,” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.
In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low – income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.
At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot – dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free.

Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot.
For the first time, researchers have tested a flu vaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle (注射针). Doctors and public health experts have high hopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.
Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with another method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles are so small that 100 of them, arranged in order on a patch, can fit under your thumb. Yet they’re big enough to hold vaccine for three types of flu.
None of the study volunteers had serious side effects. The groups that got patches had mild skin reactions that were not seen in the regular needle group, while the volunteers in the regular needle group were more likely to experience pain. Overall, 70 percent of the volunteers who got vaccine patches said they’d rather use them again than get a traditional flu shot. The study authors declared it a success on all fronts.
The biggest beneficiaries (受益者) could be people in low-and middle-income countries, where flu vaccines are hard to come by. Reducing pain is nice, but other benefits—the patch costs less, is easier to transport, doesn’t require fridge, can be self-administered and doesn’t cause waste of needles—are even better.
“Microneedle Patches have the potential to become ideal candidates for vaccination programs,” wrote Katja Hoschler and Maria Zambon of Public Health England.
8. What do we know about the vaccine patch?
A. It is produced by the WHO. B. It delivers vaccine to the little finger.
C. It causes slight side effects. D. It works badly on 30% of the volunteers.
9. The new patch has all the following benefits except that ______.
A. it can be used without a doctor B. it is provided free of charge
C. it can he kept at room temperature D. it needs less care in transportation
10. What is Kaija and Maria’s attitude towards the new shot?
A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A vaccine patch that cures people of their flu.
B. A clinical study that protects people from disease.
C. A vaccine patch that makes flu shots a thing of the past.
D. A method that makes traditional flu shots painless.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】

As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量) technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置) that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it’s connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn’t require a new type of technology that people aren’t already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
12. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys. B. To improve accuracy in typing.
C. To replace the password system. D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
13. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
14. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A. It’ll be environment-friendly. B. It’ll reach consumers soon.
C. It’ll be made of plastics. D. It’ll help speed up typing.
15. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A guidebook C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】

It’s hard to say why, but it’s just true: Music is good for you. It can calm your spirit and help you vent (发泄) your anger. ____16____. But there’s one surprising yet well-documented effect that has really surprised people. Music lessons are very good for language comprehension — and they might even be better than reading lessons.
____17____. But in this new study from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), researchers were able to see music lessons improve word comprehension right before their eyes. Led by Robert Desimone, the director of McGovern Institute for Brain Research, the team tested 74 children between the ages of four and five to see how their growing language skills were affected by piano lessons.
The 74 participants were divided into three groups ____18____. The other two had their weekly academic lessons supplemented with three 45-minute lessons per week — the first got piano lessons and the second took part in reading lessons.
What are the results? The ones who received a little extra learning every week outperformed those who just continued on with their normal studies. ____19____. Perhaps even more surprisingly, the children who took the music lessons even outperformed the ones who took the reading lessons when it came to telling the difference between two words that were very similar.
“That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” Desimone said in a statement. “They really benefited from that.” To the researchers, the results point to one clear conclusion: ____20____
A. It can even be used to improve your memory.
B. It can bring people together and give us hope.
C. Music benefits students in multiple ways.
D. The control group simply carried on with their normal school classes.
E. Many studies have shown a close link between musical training and language skills.
F. If you’re a school administrator who wants kids to succeed, you’d better not cut those music lessons.

“Due to the massive decline, we ____42____ (leave) with less than 100 of the species in the wild. The mountain bongo is only found in Kenya and its decline in this area therefore means its decline in the world. That explains ____43____ taking immediate action here is so urgent,” Robert Aruho from the Conservancy said. He added that ____44____ (enable) the animals to adapt to life in the wild, they had taken a series of measures. With the first phase of the _____45_____ (adapt) being complete, the Conservancy has moved to the second phase which involves introducing the antelopes to the wild.

After knowing that she couldn’t bear a child, Helen was devastated. One day while she was driving home from the café, a dirty puppy in the road caught Helen’s attention. After consideration, Helen and her husband eventually decided to take him home. And they later named him Ollie.
Two years later, Ollie had grown into a large ball of fur. Ollie was Helen’s world, and she hated it whenever someone addressed him as her rescue dog. Helen never went out without Ollie. One day, they were hanging out together outside a supermarket, unprepared for what was coming their way.
“Hey boy, wait in the car. I’ll be back, alright?” Helen said as she patted Ollie on his head. She locked him in the car and headed to the supermarket because Ollie hated crowded places and never accompanied Helen to the stores.
Moments later, there was a sudden outburst of chaos. Helen was busy shopping and had no idea it was raining heavily outside. The whole area began to flood unexpectedly. People rushed to every open store they could find for shelter.
12-year-old boy Matt was looking for a place to run to safety when he spotted people running to the supermarket nearby. He had no time to think and ran after them.
Matt hurried upstairs with the rest. Suddenly, Helen noticed the situation and was alarmed. “What happened?” she asked a man and screamed at the top of her lungs when she learned of the flood. All she could think of was Ollie trapped in the car.
“OLLIE..., I left my dog in the car,” she cried, running toward the window. “My dog is trapped in the car. Somebody, please...”
Matt looked outside and saw the car Helen pointed to was in the flash flood. Helen was frightened to go out because she didn’t know how to swim. Matt understood Helen’s anxiety and ran to her pet’s rescue.
He grabbed an iron rod from the corner and raced downstairs. “Hey kid, where are you going? You will drown,” someone shouted. But Matt turned a deaf ear to him because he was determined to save Ollie. In the meanwhile, some people placed a call to the rescue center.

【答案】参考范文:
He braved the currents and swam to the car. Through the window, he saw a frightened dog staring at him with big eyes. Matt broke the window with the rod and grabbed Ollie. “Come here, boy...” he said. To his surprise, Ollie wagged his tail and obeyed. The dog was eventually pulled out, safe and sound. Matt then put the dog on the car’s roof and climbed up and sat with Ollie, patting him gently so that he would stay calm and not get scared looking at the flood below.
Minutes later, a rescue team arrived. Thankfully, it had stopped raining by then, making their task easier. The rescue team helped Matt and Ollie to safety. Helen tearfully hugged and kissed her dog. Helen turned around to Matt and started crying even more. “I don’t know how to thank you. You saved my baby’s life today.” Matt smiled at her and said, “I had a dog two years ago. I just understand your affection for him,” Helen thanked Matt again and offered to send him home.
