B Africa-bound! And only seven hours left of a 19-hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. 4. What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience? A. Overcoming physical limitations. B. Adapting to a new cultural environment. C Managing a long-term solo commitment. D. Dealing with the harsh weather conditions. 5. How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa? A. Disappointed and wanting to give up. B. Satisfied with the progress made. C Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help. D. Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation. 6. What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children? A. The children’s voluntary assistance. B. The author’s initial arrival in the village. C The author’s first teaching session. D. The author’s struggle with the wheelchair. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The struggle of adapting to a new environment. B The transformative power of mutual support. C. The challenges of living with a physical disability. D. The impact of education on poor children. C Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking. A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear. 8. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”. A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement 9. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total. B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones. C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones. D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test. 10. According to the study, teens who use their phone s to their right ears a lot do worse in _____. A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems D A bike path in Krommenie, a city in the Netherlands, isn’t just helping people get around — it’s also producing energy. The path, named SolaRoad, is paved (铺) with solar cells (太阳能电池), which use the power of the sun to make electricity. The project was created to show that the places where people ride, walk, or drive can also serve to produce energy. And the solar-powered path is doing a better job than expected. So far, it has created enough electricity to power three houses for a year. Many cities already cover rooftops with solar panels (太阳能板). By using renewable (可再生的) sources of energy, urban areas can decrease their dependence on fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas. Renewable sources of energy don’t get used up or create pollution as fossil fuels do. Roads could provide an even larger space than roofs to harvest energy from the sun. Sten de Wit, one of the researchers behind SolaRoad, says, “In the Netherlands, we have about 140,000 kilometers of roads. It’s a huge area, more than all of the rooftops combined.” To create the experimental bike path, the SolaRoad team laid down concrete slabs (混凝土板) with rows of solar cells above. A layer of strong glass covers and protects the cells. Sunlight passes through the glass and into the cells, which turn the sunlight into electrical energy. Although the bike path was expensive to build, with the energy it produces, it could pay for itself within 15 years. By building solar-powered bike paths and roads, cities could produce enough energy to power streetlamps, traffic lights, and even electric cars. Most people don’t notice that the bike path is different from a traditional street. Sten de Wit says, “That is exactly what we want: it does whatever it has to do to be a proper road while harvesting solar energy at the same time.” 12. What do we know about renewable sources of energy? A. They are friendly to the environment. B. They are only fit for urban areas. C. They are more expensive than fossil fuels. D. They provide more energy than fossil fuels. 13. Which of the following shows the right structure of the bike path? (=concrete slabs = solar cells =strong glass) A. B. C. D. 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Not all people consider SolaRoads are useful. B. SolaRoads look the same as traditional roads. C. Most urban areas can’t afford to build SolaRoads. D. The solar-powered bike path is worth the effort. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. New solar cells take the place of traditional solar panels. B. A bike path in the Netherlands produces energy from the sun. C. A new kind of solar-powered bike gets ready to amaze you. D. A new way of making solar cells promises cheaper power. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Tips For Making Travel Easy & Fun Curious about how to travel the world?

And only seven hours left of a 19-hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible. After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English. Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move. All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight. When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.” That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club. And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. 4. What was the author’s unique challenge during this volunteer experience? A. Overcoming physical limitations. B. Adapting to a new cultural environment. C. Managing a long-term solo commitment. D. Dealing with the harsh weather conditions. 5. How did the author feel in the first few weeks in South Africa? A. Disappointed and wanting to give up. B. Satisfied with the progress made. C. Uncertain about the effectiveness of his help. D. Frustrated by the children’s lack of cooperation. 6. What was the turning point in the author’s relationship with the children? A. The children’s voluntary assistance. B. The author’s initial arrival in the village. C. The author’s first teaching session. D. The author’s struggle with the wheelchair. 7. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The struggle of adapting to a new environment. B. The transformative power of mutual support. C. The challenges of living with a physical disability. D. The impact of education on poor children. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是作者虽然身有残疾，需要坐轮椅，但是在南非的志愿服务中通过与孩子们的互助，实现了自我价值并深刻体会到了人与人之间相互支持的力量。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair. (此外，我还有一个其他在非洲抗击艾滋病的志愿者没有的挑战——我坐在轮椅上)”可知，作者在南非的志愿者经历中，特殊的挑战是他的身体残疾，这与其他人相比是一个独特的挑战，需要克服身体局限性。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good? (最初的几个星期非常艰难，比我以前做过的任何事情都要艰难。我强迫自己继续尝试。我需要证明自己。但我怎么知道自己做得好不好呢?)”可知，作者在南非的最初几周非常艰难，他强迫自己继续试，并且想知道自己是否真的做得好，这表明他不确定自己的帮助是否有效果。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward. (我从眼角看到孩子们向我跑来。两个年纪最大的抓住车把，其他人推着我往前走)”和第八段的“That echoed in my ears all day.(那些话在我耳边回响了一整天。)”以及最后一段的“And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa.( 第二天，这就成了我们的日常。他们帮我越多，我就越容易帮到他们。孩子们和我很亲密。我在非洲的那一年并不孤单。)”可知，孩子们自发的帮助是作者与南非孩子们关系转变的关键时刻。作者的轮椅陷入泥潭，孩子们跑来帮助他时，他们之间的关系开始有了质的变化。孩子们的行动不仅帮助作者摆脱了困境，也象征着他们之间互助的开始。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference. (他们帮我越多，我就越容易帮到他们。孩子们和我很亲密。我在非洲的那一年并不孤单。一点也不。我主动联系了我正在帮助的人，而他们反过来又成为了我的支持。我比以往任何时候都更加意识到，任何人，即使是坐在轮椅上，都可以带来改变)”可知，这篇文章的中心主题是互助的变革力量。作者通过自己的经历展示了即使在面临身体障碍和孤立无援的情况下，通过与他人的相互支持，也能实现个人成长和共同发展。故选B。 C Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test. That’s the finding of a new study. That memory impairment might be one side effect of the radiation (放射线) that phones use to keep us connected while we’re on the go. The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory. This type helps us remember abstract (抽象的) symbols and shapes, explains Milena Foerster. Each time, they had one minute to remember 13 pairs of abstract shapes. Then they were shown one item from each pair and asked to match it with one of the five choices. The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory. That’s the ability to remember words. The two memory tests are part of an intelligence test. The researchers also surveyed the teens on how they use cell phones. And they got call records from phone companies. The researchers used those records to figure out how long the teens were using their phones. This allowed the researchers to work out how big radiation exposure (接触) each person could have got while talking. A phone user’s exposure to the radiation can differ widely. Some teens talk on their phones more than others. People also hold their phones differently. If the phone is close to the ear, more radiation may enter the body, Foerster notes. The teens’ scores in the figural memory tests were roughly the same from one year to the next. But those who normally held their phones near the right ears, and who were also exposed to higher levels of radiation, scored a little bit worse after a year. No group of teens showed big changes on the verbal memory test. Why might one type of memory be linked to cell phone use, but not another? Foerster thinks it could have to do with where different memory centers sit in the brain. The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear. 8. The underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean “_______ ”. A. result B. damage C. mistake D. improvement 9. Which of the following can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. The teens took two types of memory tests four times in total. B. The teens needed to report the average time spent on their phones. C. Researchers paid little attention to the teens’ habits of using phones. D. The teens’ ability of remembering words is shown in figural memory test. 10. According to the study, teens who use their phone s to their right ears a lot do worse in _____. A. matching numbers B. reading signals C. remembering shape D. learning words 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cell Phone Use and Safety Warnings B. Facts About Cell Phone Use at School C. Dangerous Levels of Cell Phone Use Among Teens D. Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项新的研究发现，经常打电话、把手机举到右耳的青少年在一种记忆测试中得分更低，这种记忆损伤可能是手机辐射的副作用所导致。文章同时说明了研究的过程以及影响受到辐射程度的因素。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中，经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知，手机辐射会造成记忆的损伤。故可推测划线单词impairment的意思为“破坏，损坏”，和damage意思相近。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The teens took memory tests twice, one year apart. Nearly 700 Swiss teens took part in a test of figural memory.(这些青少年进行了两次记忆测试，间隔一年。近700名瑞士青少年参加了一项数字记忆测试。)”和“The study volunteers also took a test of verbal memory.(参与研究的志愿者还进行了口头记忆测试。)”可知，这些青少年总共接受了四次两种类型的记忆测试。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The site that deals with the ability to remember shapes is near the right ear.(处理形状记忆能力的部位在右耳附近。)”可知，根据这项研究，使用手机对着右耳的青少年在记忆形状方面做得更差。故选C。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句“Teenagers who talk on the cell phone a lot, and hold their phones up to their right ears, score worse on one type of memory test.(在一项记忆力测试中，经常打电话并把手机举到右耳前的青少年得分更低。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究发现，经常将手机举到右耳前打电话的青少年在图形记忆测试中的得分较低，这一现象可能与手机辐射对大脑右侧记忆中心的潜在影响有关，因此本文最好的题目是D选项“Teen’s Cell Phone Use Linked to Memory Problems(青少年使用手机与记忆问题有关)”。故选D。 D A bike path in Krommenie, a city in the Netherlands, isn’t just helping people get around — it’s also producing energy. The path, named SolaRoad, is paved (铺) with solar cells (太阳能电池), which use the power of the sun to make electricity. The project was created to show that the places where people ride, walk, or drive can also serve to produce energy. And the solar-powered path is doing a better job than expected. So far, it has created enough electricity to power three houses for a year. Many cities already cover rooftops with solar panels (太阳能板). By using renewable (可再生的) sources of energy, urban areas can decrease their dependence on fossil fuels, like coal, oil, and natural gas. Renewable sources of energy don’t get used up or create pollution as fossil fuels do. Roads could provide an even larger space than roofs to harvest energy from the sun. Sten de Wit, one of the researchers behind SolaRoad, says, “In the Netherlands, we have about 140,000 kilometers of roads. It’s a huge area, more than all of the rooftops combined.” To create the experimental bike path, the SolaRoad team laid down concrete slabs (混凝土板) with rows of solar cells above. A layer of strong glass covers and protects the cells. Sunlight passes through the glass and into the cells, which turn the sunlight into electrical energy. Although the bike path was expensive to build, with the energy it produces, it could pay for itself within 15 years. By building solar-powered bike paths and roads, cities could produce enough energy to power streetlamps, traffic lights, and even electric cars. Most people don’t notice that the bike path is different from a traditional street. Sten de Wit says, “That is exactly what we want: it does whatever it has to do to be a proper road while harvesting solar energy at the same time.” 12. What do we know about renewable sources of energy? A. They are friendly to the environment. B. They are only fit for urban areas. C. They are more expensive than fossil fuels. D. They provide more energy than fossil fuels. 13. Which of the following shows the right structure of the bike path? (=concrete slabs = solar cells =strong glass) A. B. C. D. 14. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. Not all people consider SolaRoads are useful. B. SolaRoads look the same as traditional roads. C. Most urban areas can’t afford to build SolaRoads. D. The solar-powered bike path is worth the effort. 15. What can be the best title of the text? A. New solar cells take the place of traditional solar panels. B. A bike path in the Netherlands produces energy from the sun. C. A new kind of solar-powered bike gets ready to amaze you. D. A new way of making solar cells promises cheaper power. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了荷兰的一条自行车道利用太阳能发电。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Renewable sources of energy don’t get used up or create pollution as fossil fuels do.(可再生能源不会像化石燃料那样消耗殆尽或造成污染)”可知，可再生资源环保无污染。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“To create the experimental bike path, the SolaRoad team laid down concrete slabs (混凝土板) with rows of solar cells above. A layer of strong glass covers and protects the cells. Sunlight passes through the glass and into the cells, which turn the sunlight into electrical energy.(为了建造这条实验性的自行车道，太阳能之路团队铺设了混凝土板，上面是一排排的太阳能电池。一层坚固的玻璃覆盖并保护着电池。阳光穿过玻璃进入电池，电池将阳光转化为电能。)”可知，混凝土板上面是一排排的太阳能电池，电池由一层坚固的玻璃覆盖并保护，C项符合自行车道的正确结构。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although the bike path was expensive to build, with the energy it produces, it could pay for itself within 15 years. By building solar-powered bike paths and roads, cities could produce enough energy to power streetlamps, traffic lights, and even electric cars.(虽然这条自行车道造价昂贵，但凭借其产生的能源，它可以在15年内收回成本。通过建造太阳能自行车道和道路，城市可以产生足够的能量来为路灯、交通信号灯甚至电动汽车供电。) ”可知，修这条太阳能路是值得的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后一句“A bike path in Krommenie, a city in the Netherlands, isn’t just helping people get around—it’s also producing energy.The path, named Sola Road, is paved (铺) with solar cells (太阳能电池), which use the power of the sun to make electricity.(荷兰克罗姆尼市的一条自行车道不仅能帮助人们出行，还能产生能量。这条名为“太阳能之路”的道路是用太阳能电池铺成的，太阳能电池利用太阳能发电。)”可知，短文的最佳标题为“荷兰的一条自行车道利用太阳能发电”。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Tips For Making Travel Easy & Fun Curious about how to travel the world?
