Today, most people remember E．B.White as the beloved children's book author who gave us Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little, but did you know that most of his career was spent writing for famous magazines like The New Yorker? His lifelong dream to write a children's book about a mouse would take years to get published.A few years later, White would publish yet another children's book inspired by a pig he had raised. Who Was Levi Strauss? As a young working­class German immigrant, Levi Strauss left his family's dry goods business in New York City to journey out west for the California Gold Rush.Only Levi wasn't looking for gold — he wanted to provide the miners (矿工) with strong clothes to wear.His solution? Blue jeans — which have become one of the most beloved and fashionable clothing items in the world. Who Was Charles Schulz? Charles Schulz always loved drawing from the time he was a young child, and as he grew older, he turned this passion into a successful career.His early doodles (涂鸦) of his naughty dog and of a shy boy inspired two of his most familiar and beloved characters, Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Who Was Johnny Cash? Find out in this biography that takes us from Cash's childhood to his most famous years as a country music legend and icon of American songwriting.Due to his wide range of musical talent, Johnny Cash has been inducted into the Country, Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, and Gospel Halls of Fame.He also won 18 Grammys and 9 Country Music Association Awards.

In September 1857, Stevenson went to Mr Henderson's School, but because of physical weakness he stayed only a few weeks and didn't return until October 1859.In October 1864, he was sent to Robert Thomson's private school.Stevenson became a student at the University of Edinburgh from November 1867 and unwillingly prepared himself for the engineering profession.In April 1871, he told his father he cared for nothing but literature.His father was naturally disappointed, and they finally reached an agreement that his son should read law first.In fact, Stevenson published a historical essay in 1866 at his father's expense. All through his university years, when he was looked upon as a lazy student ignoring his formal education, Stevenson was in fact reading widely and conscientiously (勤勉认真地).He learned how to write by describing what he saw and, above all, by letting himself write in the same way as other authors did.In this way, he learned from a wide range of authors. A turning point in Stevenson's life came in the summer of 1873 when he met Professor Sidney Colvin and his friend Mrs Frances Sitwell, who recognized his potential and did all they could to support him.Colvin became Stevenson's literary adviser and closest friend.In 1875, he became a lawyer, but he soon gave up the profession and devoted himself to literary work.Under Colvin's influence, Stevenson's essays began to appear in magazines.From 1876, he began to write a series of essays containing light­hearted observations on life, and they became very popular. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作家史蒂文森的成长经历。 4．What can be learned from paragraph 1 & 2? A．He was in poor health as a child. B．He unfortunately developed lung cancer.

D．He conditionally supported it. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段可知，史蒂文森的父亲有条件地支持他对文学的热爱。故选D。 答案　D 6．How did Stevenson mainly improve his writing skills? A．By reading widely. B．By practicing regularly.

D．His constant writing for magazines. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，史蒂文森在文学上的成功主要归功于科尔文和西特韦尔的帮助。故选B。 答案　B C Water, or rather the lack of it，is one of the most pressing issues of our times.Given that agriculture is the largest single user of fresh water, providing farmers with new conservation techniques will go a long way.It turns out that a miracle powder called Solid Rain has helped do exactly that for over a decade! Farmers can simply mix the powder with the soil, plant the crops as they normally would, and add water.Solid Rain absorbs the liquid and keeps it under the plants, creating an underground “lake” for the plants' roots to use.As a result, farmers do not have to water crops as often. A season­long study showed that farmers using the powder were able to increase their crop yields by an average of 300 percent.Solid Rain also once received the 2013 “Ecology and Environment Award” from Mexico's Fundación Miguel Alemán, A．C. So why isn't Solid Rain a household name? First of all, though the product has been around for over a decade, the company did a poor job at marketing it and instead relied on farmers to help spread the word.Also, Solid Rain was not approved for sale in the United States until just a few years ago.As a result, many US farmers have either not heard of it or not yet felt the need for a water­saving product. The reason for the lower demand than expected could also be due to the fact that not all experts are sold on the idea.Dr.Linda Chalker­Scott, a professor at Washington State University, says that there is no scientific proof that Solid Rain restores water or that it remains in the ground for up to a decade.She also worries that the product could have side effects.The expert says that when the gel(凝胶)dries out, it aggressively absorbs all surrounding water and even drains plant roots. The company says while Solid Rain began as a way to aid drought­stricken farmers, it can be used even when water is not a concern.Their new goal is to “save water for future generations, one drop at a time in everyday life”． [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种可以帮助缓解水短缺问题的产品。这种被称为 Solid Rain的产品可以吸收并储存水。 8．What can we know about Solid Rain from paragraph 2? A．It can take in and store water. B．It should be placed on the soil. C．It can be turned into water. D．It is like water in appearance. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Solid Rain absorbs the liquid and keeps it under the plants...to use”可知，Solid Rain 可以吸收并储存水，供植物利用。 答案　A 9．How did the company advertise Solid Rain? A．By placing a TV advertisement. B．By doing experiments in public. C．By giving away Solid Rain for free. D．By depending on users' strength. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“instead relied on farmers to help spread the word”可知，公司只是靠农民对产品的宣传来推广产品。 答案　D 10．What is Dr.Linda Chalker­Scott's worry about Solid Rain? A．It may make the ground solid. B．It may pollute the groundwater. C．It may do harm to the plants. D．It may release harmful gases. 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“She also worries that the product could have side effects...even drains plant roots”可知，Dr.Linda Chalker­Scott 担心 Solid Rain有副作用，它变干后会吸收周围的水，甚至会吸干植物的根中的水。 答案　C 11．What does the company plan to do next? A．Use Solid Rain to change the climate. B．Begin using Solid Rain to help farmers. C．Apply Solid Rain in daily life to save water. D.Develop other products similar to Solid Rain. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Their new goal is to ‘save water for future generations, one drop at a time in everyday life’”可知，公司计划把 Solid Rain 推广到日常生活中帮助人们节约用水。 答案　C D Technology offers conveniences such as opening the garage door from your car or changing the television station without touching the TV. Now one American company is offering its employees a new convenience: a microchip implanted(植入)in their hands.Employees who have these chips can do all kinds of things just by waving their hands.Three Square Market is offering to implant microchips in all of their employees for free.Each chip costs $ 300 and Three Square Market will pay for the chip.Employees can volunteer to have the chips implanted in their hands.About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so.The president of the company, his wife and their children are also getting chips implanted in their hands. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice.Implanting the chip only takes about a second and is said to hurt only very briefly.The chips go under the skin between the thumb and the forefinger.With a chip in the hand, a person can enter the office building, buy food, sign into computers and more, simply by waving that hand near a scanner.The chips will be also used to identify employees.Employees who want the convenience, but do not want to have a microchip implanted under their skin, can wear a wristband(腕带)or a ring with a chip instead.They can perform the same tasks with a wave of their hands as if they had an implanted chip. Three Square Market is the first company in the United States to offer to implant chips in its employees.Epicenter, a company in Sweden, has been implanting chips in its employees for a while. Three Square Market says the chip cannot track the employees.The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them　.“The chips protect against identity theft, similar to credit cards.” The U．S.Food and Drug Administration agreed the chips back in 2004, so they should be safe for humans, according to the company. In the future, people with the chips may be able to do more with them, even outside the office.Todd Westby is Chief Executive Officer of Three Square Market.He says, “Eventually, this technology will become standardized, allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc.” [语篇解读] 本文为说明文，介绍了一种可植于人手上的芯片，这种芯片可带给人极大的便利，研究人员对其应用前景充满期待。 12．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．The advantages of the chips. B．The replacement of the chips. C．The places to implant the chips. D．The potential risks of implanting the chips. 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段内容可知该段主要讲述了芯片的优势。故选A。 答案　A 13．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．The hands. B．The scanners. C．The employees. D．The credit cards. 解析　B代词指代题。根据第五段第二句“The company says scanners can read the chips only when they are within a few inches of them”可知，公司说扫描仪只有在距离它们(扫描仪)几英寸的地方才能读取芯片。故them指代的是scanners。故选B。 答案　B 14．What can we infer from the passage? A．The chips have magic powers. B．The price of the chips is reasonable. C.The chips are very popular among the employees. D.Most people suspect the application of the chips. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句“About 50 out of 80 employees have chosen to do so”可推知芯片在员工当中很受欢迎。故选C。 答案　C 15．Which of the following best describes Todd Westby's attitude towards the chips? A．Defensive. B．Disappointed. C．Casual. D．Optimistic. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“Eventually, this technology will become standardized allowing you to use this as your passport public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc”可知，他对芯片的态度是乐观的。故选D。 答案　D 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 During your teen years, you will make some key decisions that can shape your future.So, choose wisely, and don't blow it. If you do happen to blow it, however, it's not the end of the world. 16 Being a teen today is tougher than ever.While your grandparents may have had to walk uphill to school in the snow, you have a different set of challenges to meet.It's a totally different world! 17 Or you may be struggling with one of them or all of them.You need to think carefully about every decision you will make, the ins and outs, the good and the bad.And you can make informed decisions, with your eyes wide open. Many decisions you make as a teen can impact your life forever.The good news is, where you end up ten years from now is up to you. 18 It's called free agency or free will and it's your birthright.Ultimately, you choose to be happy or miserable. The reality is that although you are free to choose, you can't choose the consequences of your choices.They're preloaded.It's a package deal.As the old saying goes, “When you pick one end of the stick, you also pick up the other.” 19 For example, if you decide to do poorly in school rather than go to college, you'll suffer the natural consequences and may even find it hard even to get an interview for a well­paid job. The word “decision” comes from the Latin root meaning “to cut off from”． 20 That's why decisions can be hard sometimes. A．It can be different sometimes. B．You need to think twice before you take action. C．Your choices and consequences go hand in hand. D．You may not have thought much about these decisions. E．Saying “yes” to one thing means saying “no” to another. F．You are free to choose what kind of life you want to have. G．Just go back on track quickly and start making smarter choices.

Yours， Li Hua 第二节(满分25 分) 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。 As a young boy, I was carefree.Every vacation I looked forward to two things—seeing my grandpa and hearing his wonderful stories.My grandpa was a very good storyteller.He had various odd jobs when he was young and wove his adventures and misadventures into fantastic tales.These wonderful tales colored my childhood. As I grew up, I had to admit that Grandpa's stories went on，a little long and even a little boring, and gradually lost their magic.However, not wanting to upset him, my brother and I would sometimes take turns to sit in the living room, listening to Grandpa telling his stories. When my grandpa was approaching 91, he suffered from serious memory loss.It was kind of what doctors called dementia(痴呆), probably the earliest stage of Alzheimer's disease.Following the doctor's directions, we moved him into a Sunrise Assisted Living community, where he could get better care.After that, Grandpa hardly came to our house. One weekend before my grandpa's birthday, I came to visit him.Seeing Grandpa sitting in his armchair, dull­looking, I was consumed with mixed feelings.I wheeled Grandpa to the sunshine in the courtyard, talking to him.He couldn't express himself clearly and spoke in short bursts, but I listened to him patiently and carefully just as I used to do when I was a little boy. It was then that I noticed a shadow box with some old and yellowish photos in it.I picked one up, in which my brother, several boys in our neighborhood, and I were playing basketball with Grandpa cheering us on twenty years before.My mind flashed back to those beautiful memories.Back then, Grandpa was in good physical condition and we were all wearing basketball jerseys, playing and laughing with abandon.I presented the photo to my grandpa, pointing at each member and reminding him of their names.Incredibly, Grandpa could speak out the name of every player.I even caught a soft light in Grandpa's eyes and a smile on his lips. 注意：续写词数应为150 左右。 A bright idea for Grandpa's birthday came to my mind. Seeing “the same players” playing there, Grandpa seemed to have thought of something. One possible version： A bright idea for Grandpa's birthday came to my mind. “Why not give Grandpa a surprise？” I said to myself.I immediately got down to carrying out my plan.Luckily, I contacted all the players in the photo.To my great delight, they were greatly touched by the plan and all agreed to join in.To make the scene real, I even managed to find all the basketball jerseys and equipment and arrange for a similar­looking basketball court.The big day finally came.After wheeling my grandpa to the court, we began the special game.While playing, I kept an eye on Grandpa, waiting for something deep down. Seeing “the same players” playing there, Grandpa seemed to have thought of something. Glancing at Grandpa again, I found him cheering us on just like 20 years before.Sitting in the warm sunlight, he cheered and clapped, with a bigger smile.For a while, my mind seemed to flash back to those beautiful days.Indeed, my plan somewhat worked.I was overjoyed that I could do something to delight Grandpa, an important person in my life.I was not sure whether this birthday would stick in his mind, but one thing was certain: it'd definitely stick in mine. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
