Here are the top four named by The National Park Service. Glacier National Park In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails（路线）, and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages. Grand Canyon National Park First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft（漂流）the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above. Yellowstone National Park The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October. Yosemite National Park First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance. 1. Which park may attract people interested in water activities? A. Glacier National Park. B. Yosemite National Park. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Grand Canyon National Park. 2. What does Yellowstone National Park feature? A. Free activities. B. Popular hotels. C. Hot springs. D. Air tours. 3. What do the four national parks have in common? A. They provide hiking trails. B. They suit tourists of all ages. C. They host camping activities. D. They date from the 19th century. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3.

And they call themselves the Knit Wits. Every Friday, they gather around a long table with wool and needles to lend a hand. Their latest project is a cooperation with Children’s Health in Dallas to create homemade caps for babies facing heart problems. Stover, a member of the Knit Wits got the idea while talking with her daughter, a doctor at the hospital. For the past year, the group has sent dozens of caps for the babies. “The caps are themed around the holidays,” Stover says, “with designs representing Autumn, New Year and Spring. The little caps have become a colorful symbol of hope and joy for the center’s youngest patients and their families.” The mini hats can help develop the bonding between babies and caregivers, preserving the smell of the adult next to take baby’s skin. Caregivers are able to wear the hat on their body to carry their smell before placing the hat back on the baby, easing the babies’ stress. Throughout the babies’ hospital admission, many holidays have been celebrated, but often the babies are too critical to be dressed up for photos. Thanks to the generosity of the Knit Wits, the baby hat provides the perfect festive touch. Marianne is 102 years old and still knitting. “Being creative, being busy and having something good to think about make my life colorful.” she said. The Knit Wits also sent knit dolls to children from African countries. They’ve proven that a simple act of kindness can make such a difference in the lives of those facing challenging circumstances. 4. What can we learn about the Knit Wits ladies? A. They attend the children. B. They profit from handiwork. C. They gift kids with little caps. D. They suffer from heart problems. 5. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of treatments. B.

A team of researchers are studying the venom (毒液) of this kind of octopus. They have discovered that the venom may greatly slow cancer growth. And it can also help fight drug resistance in patients with a BRAF-changed skin cancer. BRAF is involved in managing cell growth. A change in it results in abnormal cell growth. These BRAF changes are seen in half of all cases of skin cancers. “We and other groups have previously discovered that other animals-snakes, spiders, bees-have anticancer properties,” said Dr. Maria, the study’s lead author. “However, in my current knowledge, the anticancer properties of an octopus species have never been studied or confirmed before.” Current treatments face a few challenges including low response rates, poisoning and side effects, as well as drug resistance. The octopus venom slows the growth of BRAF-changed skin cancer. More importantly, it is safe to be used in large quantities — it is not poisonous. Therefore, in combination with other drugs, the treatments could potentially achieve better and safer patient outcomes. It is very unlikely that the octopus has specifically developed its venom to contain an anticancer substance. According to the researching team, the octopus venom contains over 1,000 unique substances with several functions such as reducing pain and anticancer. “In this study, we have shown that the octopus venom specifically targets BRAF-changed skin cancer. The next step is to examine whether similar promising results are applicable for other BRAF-changed cancers.” said Dr. Maria. “Before it can be used on patients, the team will need to perform several rounds of lab testing and clinical trials to understand how it works and its full potential as a drug against skin cancer.” 8. What can we know about BRAF? A. It is a change in cells. B. It controls cell growth. C. It can cause a deadly illness. D. It helps to cure a skin cancer. 9. What discovery did the team make? A. A medicine to cure cancers. B. A substance contained in animals. C. The medical value of octopus species. D. The anticancer effect of an octopus venom. 10. What is an advantage of the octopus venom to treat the skin cancer? A. It is of large quantity. B. It has no side effects. C. It is less expensive. D. It has lower risks. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph concerning the octopus venom? A. Its application requires further work. B. It helps treat BRAF-changed cancers. C. Its safety needs more clinical testings. D. It has already been put into wide use. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究人员发现章鱼的毒液可能会大大减慢癌症的生长，并有助于对抗患有BRAF变异皮肤癌患者的药物抵抗力。目前，章鱼毒液的应用需要进一步的工作。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“And it can also help fight drug resistance in patients with a BRAF-changed skin cancer. BRAF is involved in managing cell growth. A change in it results in abnormal cell growth. These BRAF changes are seen in half of all cases of skin cancers.(它还可以帮助对抗BRAF改变的皮肤癌患者的耐药性。BRAF参与控制细胞生长。它的变化会导致细胞的异常生长。这些BRAF变化在一半的皮肤癌病例中可见)”可知， BRAF控制细胞生长。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“They have discovered that the venom may greatly slow cancer growth. And it can also help fight drug resistance in patients with a BRAF-changed skin cancer.(他们发现这种毒液可以大大减缓癌症的生长。它还可以帮助对抗BRAF改变的皮肤癌患者的耐药性)”及第二段““We and other groups have previously discovered that other animals-snakes, spiders, bees-have anticancer properties,” said Dr. Maria, the study’s lead author. “However, in my current knowledge, the anticancer properties of an octopus species have never been studied or confirmed before.”(该研究的主要作者玛丽亚博士说:“我们和其他研究小组此前已经发现，蛇、蜘蛛、蜜蜂等其他动物也具有抗癌特性。然而，据我目前所知，章鱼的抗癌特性以前从未被研究或证实过。”)”可知，团队发现了章鱼毒液的抗癌作用。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“More importantly, it is safe to be used in large quantities-it is not poisonous. Therefore, in combination with other drugs, the treatments could potentially achieve better and safer patient outcomes.(更重要的是，大量使用是安全的——它是无毒的。因此，与其他药物联合使用，这些治疗方法可能会获得更好、更安全的患者结果)”可知，章鱼毒液治疗皮肤癌的优势在于它具有较低的风险。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Before it can be used on patients, the team will need to perform several rounds of lab testing and clinical trials to understand how it works and its full potential as a drug against skin cancer.(在将其用于患者之前，该团队将需要进行几轮实验室测试和临床试验，以了解其工作原理及其作为治疗皮肤癌药物的全部潜力)”可知，章鱼毒液的应用需要进一步的工作。故选A项。 D Many often find themselves considering jobs below their skill level in worsening employment markets. But it turns out that working in a job below your skill level harms your later chances of getting hired for a better-paying job more appropriate to your qualifications. Sociologist David Pedulla at the University of Texas conducted a study to examine how jobs below a person’s skill level affect future employability. He tailored 2,420 applications and submitted them to 1,210 job listings posted in five major cities across the U.S. He varied the applications by gender, and also by employment status for the previous year. Then he used computer models to analyze and compare the results. The results show that applicants who were positioned as working below their skill level, regardless of gender had the lowest chances of getting called for a job interview. These results should serve as a warning to anyone considering taking a job below their skill level. While it might pay the bills in the short term, it can significantly hammer one’s ability to return to the relevant skill level and pay grade at a later date. Why might this be the case? Pedulla conducted a follow-up study with 903 employers. He asked them about their ideas of applicants with each kind of employment history, and how likely they would be to recommend each kind of candidate to an interview. The results show that employers believe that men who are employed in positions below their skill level are less committed and less competent than men in other employment situations. Those surveyed also believed that women working below their skill level were less competent than others, but did not believe them to be less committed. The results of studies suggest that work below skill level signals to employers men’s incompetence and a lack of commitment. This is a disturbing reminder that the sword of gender bias (偏见) does in fact cut both ways. 12. Why do many people choose jobs below their skill level? A. They fear bearing duties. B. They lack-self-confidence. C. They face a tough economy. D. They pursue better-paying jobs. 13. How do the researchers carry out the first study? A. By conducting interviews. B. By researching examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By doing surveys. 14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hammer” in Paragraph 3? A. Ensure. B. Weaken. C. Test. D. Exercise. 15. What is the employers’ idea according to the follow-up study? A. Men are more likely to get promoted. B. Women are more devoted and capable. C. Women behave better in jobs below skill level. D. Men show talents in work of the relevant level. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明在一份低于你技能水平的工作中工作，会损害你以后找到一份更适合你资历的高薪工作的机会。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many often find themselves considering jobs below their skill level in worsening employment markets.(在不断恶化的就业市场中，许多人经常发现自己在考虑低于自己技能水平的工作)”可知，许多人考虑低于自己技能水平的工作是由于他们面临着严峻的经济形势。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Sociologist David Pedulla at the University of Texas conducted a study to examine how jobs below a person’s skill level affect future employability. He tailored 2,420 applications and submitted them to 1,210 job listings posted in five major cities across the U.S. He varied the applications by gender, and also by employment status for the previous year. Then he used computer models to analyze and compare the results.(德克萨斯大学的社会学家David Pedulla进行了一项研究，研究低于个人技能水平的工作如何影响未来的就业能力。他定制了2420份申请，并将它们提交给了美国五大城市发布的1210个职位列表。他根据性别和前一年的就业状况对申请进行了调整。然后他使用计算机模型来分析和比较结果)”可知，研究人员通过做比较的方法来进行第一项研究。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前句“These results should serve as a warning to anyone considering taking a job below their skill level. While it might pay the bills in the short term, (这些结果应该给那些考虑接受低于自己技能水平的工作的人敲响警钟。虽然它可能在短期内支付账单)”及后文“one’s ability to return to the relevant skill level and pay grade at a later date(一个人日后恢复到有关技能水平和薪酬等级的能力)”以及表示转折的while可知，考虑接受低于自己技能水平的工作虽然可以挣到钱，但会减弱一个人日后恢复到有关技能水平和薪酬等级的能力。由此猜测hammer意为“减弱，削弱”，与weaken意思相近。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The results show that employers believe that men who are employed in positions below their skill level are less committed and less competent than men in other employment situations. Those surveyed also believed that women working below their skill level were less competent than others, but did not believe them to be less committed.(结果表明，雇主认为，在低于他们技能水平的岗位上工作的男性比在其他就业情况下工作的男性更不敬业，更不称职。接受调查的人还认为，从事低于自己技能水平工作的女性不如其他女性能干，但并不认为她们不够投入)”可推知，雇主的想法是女性在技能水平以下的工作中比男性表现更好。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets. Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane. ___16___ Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized. ___17___ Later, they slowly spread to America. One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions. ___18___ Beet sugar is also easier to produce. just requiring very basic processing. So in consideration of the cost- effective characteristics, beets are an attractive alternative to sugarcane. ___19___ The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar. The quantities of beet sugar and sugarcane sugar can be used equally in baking recipes. ___20___ While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar. So beet sugar sometimes can replace sugarcane sugar in a baking recipe. A. Beets can be easily processed. B. But its source may be actually beets. C. The flavour of baked goods is quite similar. D. Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar. E. In most cases, people tend to eat sugarcane sugar. F. Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality. G. Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. D 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了甜菜作为糖源的重要性、历史、优势以及甜菜糖的生产过程和用途。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Most markets carry this sugar, but it may not always be clearly labeled. You may think the white sugar you just bought is made from sugarcane.(大多数市场都出售这种糖，但它可能并不总是清楚地标注出来。您可能认为您刚刚买的白糖是用甘蔗做的。)”可知，空处和上文形成转折关系，指出糖的来源可能不是蔗糖，而是甜菜做的糖。B项：But its source may be actually beets.(但它的来源实际上可能是甜菜。)符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Beets have been an important crop in human agriculture for centuries, with evidence of their planting dating back to ancient civilizations in Europe. However, it was not until the16th century that beets’ potential as a source of sugar was realized.(甜菜几个世纪以来一直是人类农业中的重要作物，其种植的证据可以追溯到欧洲的古文明。然而，直到16世纪，人们才意识到甜菜作为糖源的潜力。)”可知，欧洲人意识到甜菜作为糖源的潜力，因此变开始建立甜菜加工厂，空处和上文形成因果关系。G项：Therefore, beet sugar processing plants began to be built in Europe.(因此，欧洲开始建立甜菜糖加工厂。)符合语境。故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“One key advantage of using beets for sugar is that compared to sugarcane, beets can be planted in cooler regions.(用甜菜制糖的一个主要优点是，与甘蔗相比，甜菜可以在较冷的地区种植。)”和下文“Beet sugar is also easier to produce.(甜菜糖也更容易生产。)”可知，本段是在说明用甜菜制作糖的优势。F项的“Besides”与上文的“One key advantage”对应。F项：Besides, beets are tougher and able to grow on land of poor quality.(此外，甜菜更坚韧，能在质量差的土地上生长。)符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 空处为段落主旨句。根据下文“The initial step involves washing and cutting up the beets, followed by passing them through a machine that forces hot water past the beet pieces. The resulting juice is then combined with liquids squeezed from the beets. The mixture is then heated, leading to a thick, sweet liquid. Finally, the liquid is further processed to obtain beet sugar, which is chemically nearly identical to sugarcane sugar.(第一步是清洗和切碎甜菜，然后将它们通过一台机器，这台机器迫使热水通过甜菜块。然后将得到的果汁与从甜菜中榨出的液体混合。然后将混合物加热，得到一种浓稠的甜液。最后，对液体进行进一步加工以获得甜菜糖，甜菜糖在化学上与甘蔗糖几乎相同。)”可知，本段主要介绍了制作甜菜糖的步骤。D项中的“how exactly to make beet sugar”与下文中的“The initial step…then…Finally…”对应。D项：Let’s look at how exactly to make beet sugar.(让我们来看看到底如何制造甜菜糖。)符合语境。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“While some people are able to tell a difference, many others can’t tell whether a baked treat has been made with beet sugar or sugarcane sugar.(虽然有些人能够分辨出区别，但很多人无法分辨出烘焙食品是用甜菜糖还是甘蔗糖做的。)”可知，一些人能够分辨出烘焙食品是用甜菜糖还是甘蔗糖做的，但很多人则无法分辨。这暗示了两者在烘焙后的味道上非常相似。C项：The flavour of baked goods is quite similar.(烘焙食品的味道很相似。)符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共2节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As the Chinese saying goes, a seed can change the world; a variety can benefit a nation.

All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself. “Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face. “May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A gentle voice caught our attention. “Tommy, your show time!” I shouted and gave him a thumb-up. Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my smartphone, ready to shoot. With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But there was one problem for me-I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable. “Come on, Tommy!” Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step. Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug! But I could not. I had to finish recording the whole race, so I waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line. Suddenly, I noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd. 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。 Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. Feeling puzzled, Tommy immediately found the judge and pointed out this mistake politely. However, the second-place finisher insisted he was the winner. No one could tell exactly what had happened. Tommy was at a loss what to do, feeling frustrated. Then it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process. Rushing to the judge, I showed him the video, which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived. The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion. After learning the truth, the audience broke into thunderous applause. Tommy shouldered his way through the crowd, gate ring me in his arms with a proud smile on his face. We both knew this was not just a victory of a race, but also a victory of sticking to the truth and daring to fight for it in the face of injustice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤米参加赛跑比赛，最后几乎与第一名同时冲过了终点线。结果汤米却显示排名第二，汤米没有屈服，坚持查明真相，最终裁判承认了误判，宣布汤米是真正的冠军。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤米在记分牌上排名第二”可知，第一段可描写汤米坚持查明真相，作者也帮助澄清了真相。 ②由第二段首句内容“裁判承认了误判，宣布汤米是真正的冠军”可知，第二段可描写汤米取得冠军以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：排名第二——找到教练——帮助澄清——承认误判——宣布冠军——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①澄清：clarify/justify ②承认：admit/acknowledge ③坚持：stick to/ persist in 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②沮丧的：frustrated/upset 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then it suddenly occurred to me that I had recorded the whole process. (运用了it 作形式主语、that引导的主语从句是真正的主语) [高分句型2] Rushing to the judge, I showed him the video, which clarified the fact that it was Tommy who first arrived.

Here are the top four named by The National Park Service. Glacier National Park In 1910, Glacier was established as the country’s 10th national park. Take advantage of the park’s expansive hiking trails（路线）, and be sure to hit traveler favorites like the Trail of the Cedars and Iceberg Lake Trail. What’s more, Glacier National Park hosts plenty of free activities like guided hikes and appealing events ideal for visitors of all ages. Grand Canyon National Park First protected in 1893 as a forest reserve, the Grand Canyon became an official US national park in 1919. The park offers endless hiking opportunities with trails of various lengths, as well as the chance to raft（漂流）the Colorado River. And if you’re looking for a different point, consider a helicopter tour to learn more about the park and see it in all its glory from above. Yellowstone National Park The world famous site became the first national park in the U. S. on March 1,1872, when President Grant signed the Yellowstone National Park Protection Act into law. Here, hikers can get lost in the beauty of the lakes, mountains, valleys and, of course, its unmatched hot springs. To avoid the crowds that often trouble Yellowstone, plan to visit in April, May, September or October. Yosemite National Park First protected in 1864, Yosemite National Park stands out for its impressive waterfalls. The best time to see waterfalls is during spring, when most of the snowmelt occurs. There are also plenty of scenic hiking and camping opportunities. Just keep in mind that campsites sell out quickly after becoming available for booking, so make your reservations in advance. 1. Which park may attract people interested in water activities? A. Glacier National Park. B. Yosemite National Park. C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Grand Canyon National Park. 2. What does Yellowstone National Park feature? A. Free activities. B. Popular hotels. C. Hot springs. D. Air tours. 3. What do the four national parks have in common? A. They provide hiking trails. B. They suit tourists of all ages. C. They host camping activities. D. They date from the 19th century. B For over twenty years, a group of ladies living at a senior living community in Dallas have made thousands of hand-knit(编织) hats and toys, bringing warmth and support to children both in Texas and overseas. And they call themselves the Knit Wits. Every Friday, they gather around a long table with wool and needles to lend a hand. Their latest project is a cooperation with Children’s Health in Dallas to create homemade caps for babies facing heart problems. Stover, a member of the Knit Wits got the idea while talking with her daughter, a doctor at the hospital. For the past year, the group has sent dozens of caps for the babies. “The caps are themed around the holidays,” Stover says, “with designs representing Autumn, New Year and Spring. The little caps have become a colorful symbol of hope and joy for the center’s youngest patients and their families.” The mini hats can help develop the bonding between babies and caregivers, preserving the smell of the adult next to take baby’s skin. Caregivers are able to wear the hat on their body to carry their smell before placing the hat back on the baby, easing the babies’ stress. Throughout the babies’ hospital admission, many holidays have been celebrated, but often the babies are too critical to be dressed up for photos. Thanks to the generosity of the Knit Wits, the baby hat provides the perfect festive touch. Marianne is 102 years old and still knitting. “Being creative, being busy and having something good to think about make my life colorful.” she said. The Knit Wits also sent knit dolls to children from African countries. They’ve proven that a simple act of kindness can make such a difference in the lives of those facing challenging circumstances. 4. What can we learn about the Knit Wits ladies? A. They attend the children. B. They profit from handiwork. C. They gift kids with little caps. D. They suffer from heart problems. 5. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of treatments. B. The celebration of holidays. C. The role of mini hats to babies. D. The bonding of babies and caregivers. 6. Which of the following best describes the Knit Wits ladies? A. Patient. B. Caring. C. Humorous. D. Wise. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Knit Wits warms the kids B. Handmade caps hit the world C. The kind act matters in hospital D. Holidays bring families closer C The Australian sand octopus (章鱼) was discovered in 1990 and is the only octopus species known to bury itself deep in the sand to hide from enemies. A team of researchers are studying the venom (毒液) of this kind of octopus. They have discovered that the venom may greatly slow cancer growth. And it can also help fight drug resistance in patients with a BRAF-changed skin cancer. BRAF is involved in managing cell growth. A change in it results in abnormal cell growth. These BRAF changes are seen in half of all cases of skin cancers. “We and other groups have previously discovered that other animals-snakes, spiders, bees-have anticancer properties,” said Dr. Maria, the study’s lead author. “However, in my current knowledge, the anticancer properties of an octopus species have never been studied or confirmed before.” Current treatments face a few challenges including low response rates, poisoning and side effects, as well as drug resistance. The octopus venom slows the growth of BRAF-changed skin cancer. More importantly, it is safe to be used in large quantities — it is not poisonous. Therefore, in combination with other drugs, the treatments could potentially achieve better and safer patient outcomes. It is very unlikely that the octopus has specifically developed its venom to contain an anticancer substance. According to the researching team, the octopus venom contains over 1,000 unique substances with several functions such as reducing pain and anticancer. “In this study, we have shown that the octopus venom specifically targets BRAF-changed skin cancer. The next step is to examine whether similar promising results are applicable for other BRAF-changed cancers.” said Dr. Maria. “Before it can be used on patients, the team will need to perform several rounds of lab testing and clinical trials to understand how it works and its full potential as a drug against skin cancer.” 8. What can we know about BRAF? A. It is a change in cells. B. It controls cell growth. C. It can cause a deadly illness. D. It helps to cure a skin cancer. 9. What discovery did the team make? A. A medicine to cure cancers. B. A substance contained in animals. C. The medical value of octopus species. D. The anticancer effect of an octopus venom. 10. What is an advantage of the octopus venom to treat the skin cancer? A. It is of large quantity. B. It has no side effects. C. It is less expensive. D. It has lower risks. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph concerning the octopus venom? A. Its application requires further work. B. It helps treat BRAF-changed cancers. C. Its safety needs more clinical testings. D. It has already been put into wide use. D Many often find themselves considering jobs below their skill level in worsening employment markets. But it turns out that working in a job below your skill level harms your later chances of getting hired for a better-paying job more appropriate to your qualifications. Sociologist David Pedulla at the University of Texas conducted a study to examine how jobs below a person’s skill level affect future employability. He tailored 2,420 applications and submitted them to 1,210 job listings posted in five major cities across the U.S. He varied the applications by gender, and also by employment status for the previous year. Then he used computer models to analyze and compare the results. The results show that applicants who were positioned as working below their skill level, regardless of gender had the lowest chances of getting called for a job interview. These results should serve as a warning to anyone considering taking a job below their skill level. While it might pay the bills in the short term, it can significantly hammer one’s ability to return to the relevant skill level and pay grade at a later date. Why might this be the case? Pedulla conducted a follow-up study with 903 employers. He asked them about their ideas of applicants with each kind of employment history, and how likely they would be to recommend each kind of candidate to an interview. The results show that employers believe that men who are employed in positions below their skill level are less committed and less competent than men in other employment situations. Those surveyed also believed that women working below their skill level were less competent than others, but did not believe them to be less committed. The results of studies suggest that work below skill level signals to employers men’s incompetence and a lack of commitment. This is a disturbing reminder that the sword of gender bias (偏见) does in fact cut both ways. 12. Why do many people choose jobs below their skill level? A. They fear bearing duties. B. They lack-self-confidence. C They face a tough economy. D. They pursue better-paying jobs. 13 How do the researchers carry out the first study? A. By conducting interviews. B. By researching examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By doing surveys. 14. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “hammer” in Paragraph 3? A. Ensure. B. Weaken. C. Test. D. Exercise. 15. What is the employers’ idea according to the follow-up study? A. Men are more likely to get promoted. B. Women are more devoted and capable. C. Women behave better in jobs below skill level. D. Men show talents in work of the relevant level. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分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。 A large part of the world’s total sugar supply comes from beets.

My assignment was to record the 400-meter race in the sports meet. All the students in our class were sitting anxiously except one, a tall handsome boy named Tommy who was considered the one most likely to win the race. Even, unlike other competitors, he was quite relaxed, standing beside the track and stretching himself. “Tommy! I bet you’ll win.” I yelled at him. “Just wait and see!” A big smile spread across his face. “May I have your attention, please? All the athletes are requested to proceed to the registration office.” A gentle voice caught our attention. “Tommy, your show time!” I shouted and gave him a thumb-up. Then, I saw all the athletes went to register, preparing for the game. Soon they were all on the starting line. Taking the best recording location, I raised my smartphone, ready to shoot. With the loud sound of the starting gun, all the competitors threw themselves forwards from the starting line like arrows. Tommy quickly took the lead with his excellent explosive power from long-term training. But there was one problem for me-I had to spare every effort to control my excitement in order to keep my shooting picture stable. “Come on Tommy!” Still, I could hear the cheers of our classmates higher and higher. It seemed that Tommy had heard the powerful shouts and became full of strength. He kept adjusting his breath, maintaining a steady rhythm, and approaching the finish line step by step. Finally, with the cheers of the audience, Tommy crossed the finish line almost at the same time with the second-place finisher. How I wish I could rush to him and give him a big bear hug! But I could not. I had to finish recording the whole race, so I waited until the last competitor crossed the finish line. Suddenly, I noticed there was an unusual noise from the crowd. 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。 Tommy was ranked second on the scoreboard. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The judge admitted the error and announced Tommy was the real champion. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
