Each in-class training lasts 120 minutes and each one-on-one in-car training 80 minutes. (初级课程提供20小时的课堂培训，12小时的家庭作业和8小时的车内培训。每次课堂培训120分钟，每次一对一车内培训80分钟)”可知，每次课堂培训是120分钟，即2小时，总的课堂培训时长20小时，所以课程提供10次（=20÷2）课堂培训。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据What You Need Know部分第二段“Students can start taking the classroom part of the driving training without the G1 license, but do need it by the time they’re ready to start the in-car driving lessons. (学生可以在没有G1执照的情况下开始参加驾驶训练的课堂部分，但在他们准备开始车内驾驶课程时确实需要它)”可知，学生需要获得G1驾照才能开始车内驾驶课程。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Ultimate Drivers is there to help your teen learn the rules of the road and gain important driving experience. (Ultimate Drivers在那里帮助你的孩子学习道路规则和获得重要的驾驶经验)”可知，文章介绍了Ultimate Drivers提供的驾驶培训课程，包括课程内容、时间安排、额外福利等，目的是吸引潜在学生报名。因此，这是一篇广告。故选A项。 B When Liam Pope-Lau fell into the ocean during a sailing lesson, he had no idea what he was in for. “I just remember how cold it was,” Liam recalls. “It really scared me and shook me up.” Thankfully, he was wearing a life jacket, but the water was freezing. Liam’s scary experience inspired him to team up with his friend Fraser Tuck, in his Grade 6 science class at the time. Together they came up with the idea of “LifeHeat” — a self-heating life jacket that could one day help someone in a similar situation. During the first phase, they concentrated on finding a chemical that creates heat upon contact with water. After a series of investigations, Liam and Fraser came across calcium chloride (氯化钙). It soon became LifeHeat’s primary chemical component, which allowed the life jacket to remain warm underwater. Over the next two years, Fraser and Liam built 13 prototypes (模型) of LifeHeat. But instead of building multiple life jackets from scratch (从零开始), the two focused on creating an attachable pouch (荷包). When the pouch came in contact with water, it could heat the body’s core. For each prototype, Liam and Fraser experimented with different materials that could contain calcium chloride while still allowing its heat to escape. In the process, they experienced countless failures which, however, led them to be more creative. The two have entered their many prototypes into several science competitions over the last two years. In November last year, Liam and Fraser won two awards at a big science fair. They are now taking the feedback they received from experts and applying it to their next prototype. Liam and Fraser anticipate turning their invention into a business. As for future inventors, Fraser and Liam have advice for kids who want to create their own new technology. “Don’t be afraid to try it out because you never know where it could end up,” said Liam. “Go for it before someone else can steal your idea,” added Fraser with a laugh. 4. What gives Liam the desire to invent the “LifeHeat”? A. A science class. B. An amusing experience. C. A special life jacket. D. A cold struggle in water. 5. What do the Fraser and Liam focus on initially? A. Finding a suitable chemical. B. Building multiple life jackets. C. Creating an attachable pouch. D. Testing the prototypes of LifeHeat. 6. What can we learn about the “LifeHeat”? A. It has been put on the market. B. It is invented through trial and error. C. Two of its prototypes won awards at a science fair. D. The attachable pouch is the most important part of it. 7. Which of the following can best describe Fraser and Liam? A. Humorous and ambitious. B. Courageous and competitive. C. Creative and determined. D. Humble and intelligent. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对朋友——Liam和Fraser Tuck发明自热式救生衣的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Liam Pope-Lau fell into the ocean during a sailing lesson, he had no idea what he was in for. “I just remember how cold it was,” Liam recalls. “It really scared me and shook me up. ” Thankfully, he was wearing a life jacket, but the water was freezing.(当Liam Pope-Lau在一次帆船课上掉进海里时，他不知道自己会遇到什么。‘我只记得当时有多冷，’利亚姆回忆道。‘这真的吓到我了，把我吓坏了。’谢天谢地，他穿着救生衣，但水很冷。)”以及第二段中“Liam’s scary experience inspired him to team up with his friend, Fraser Tuck, in his Grade 6 science class at the time. Together they came up with the idea of “LifeHeat”—a self-heating life jacket that could one day help someone in a similar situation. (利亚姆的恐怖经历激发了他和他的朋友弗雷泽·塔克在六年级的科学课上合作。他们一起提出了‘LifeHeat’的想法——一种可以自我加热的救生衣，有朝一日可以帮助处于类似情况的人。)”可知，Liam Pope-Lau在一次帆船课上掉进海里，虽然身穿救生衣，但是在冰冷海水里挣扎的恐怖经历激发他发明自热式救生衣“LifeHeat”的欲望。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the first phase, they concentrated on finding a chemical that creates heat upon contact with water.(在第一阶段，他们集中精力寻找一种与水接触就能产生热量的化学物质。) ”可知，在最初阶段，Fraser和Liam 专注于寻找一种与水接触就能产生热量的化学物质；由此可知，他们一开始专注于找一种合适的化学物质。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For each prototype, Liam and Fraser experimented with different materials that could contain calcium chloride while still allowing its heat to escape. In the process, they experienced countless failures which, however, led them to be more creative.(对于每个模型，Liam and Fraser都用不同的材料进行了实验，这些材料既可以含有氯化钙，又可以让它的热量逸出。在这个过程中，他们经历了无数的失败，但这也让他们更有创造力。)”可推知，“LifeHeat”是通过反复试验才发明出来的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over the next two years, Fraser and Liam built 13 prototypes (模型) of LifeHeat. But instead of building multiple life jackets from scratch (从零开始), the two focused on creating an attachable pouch (荷包). When the pouch came in contact with water, it could heat the body’s core. For each prototype, Liam and Fraser experimented with different materials that could contain calcium chloride while still allowing its heat to escape. In the process, they experienced countless failures which, however, led them to be more creative.(在接下来的两年里，Fraser和Liam 构建了13个 LifeHeat模型。但是，两人并没有从头开始制作多件救生衣，而是专注于创建一个可贴附的荷包。当荷包与水接触时，它可以加热身体的核心。对于每个模型，Liam和Fraser都尝试了不同的材料，这些材料可能含有氯化钙，同时仍可以让其热量逸出。在这个过程中，他们经历了无数的失败，然而，这使他们更具创造力。)”可知，Liam和Fraser在构建了13个 LifeHeat模型后，没有从头开始制作多件救生衣，而是创建一个可贴附的荷包，用于每种模型的实验；在整个实验过程中，他们经历了无数的失败，但是他们没有放弃，相反，失败他们更具创造力。由此可知，Liam和Fraser非常具有创造性且很有决心。故选C。 C A surprising finding that the inner core may recently have slowed down was published in Nature Geoscience. Let’s get to the core of how the Earth works to better understand the scientific findings. The Earth is composed of several layers: the crust which is the surface we live on; the mantle, which begins below the crust and ends at the outer core; the outer core, which is made of hot liquid metal; and the inner core, which is believed to be a solid metal ball of iron and nickel. Scientists believe that the inner core may “floats” in the liquid metal and rotate (转动) independently of the rest of Earth’s layers. The study’s authors propose the Earth’s inner core may be experiencing a slowdown and that this difference can be measured by observing a change in how seismic waves (地震波) pass through the Earth’s center during an earthquake. Older data shows a lot of change in the wave patterns while passing through the core, but recent data shows the changes are no longer as visible. After analyzing the patterns of seismic waves through the decades, scientists theorize the Earth’s inner core changes its rotational speed over time. Different studies have concluded that these changes in speed follow a pattern that may range from 20 to 70 years. The observed changes in the inner core’s behavior are likely caused by magnetic forces acting on it, which is produced by the movement of liquid iron in the outer core. Although the core’s spin seems to be independent, we know that all layers of the Earth interact and experience effects from each other. We have much more to learn about Earth and its physical processes. Scientists say that many years of continuous recording and study of seismic data are necessary to get answers. Until then, we must be patient. The investigation of this phenomenon will definitely lead us under the surface and into the core of understanding our planet! 8. Which layer is surrounded by the liquid metal? A. The crust. B. The mantle. C. The outer core. D. The inner core. 9. Which of the following may be a reason for the inner core’s slowdown? A. Magnetic forces. B. Seismic waves. C. Human activities. D. Rotation patterns. 10. What does the author think of the research into the Earth’s core? A. Promising. B. Ridiculous. C. Pointless. D. Questionable. 11 What would be the best title for this text? A. How does the Earth Work? B. Is the Earth’s Core Slowing Down? C. Is it Necessary to Record Seismic Data? D. What is Special about the Earth’s Core? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了《自然地球科学》杂志发表了一项令人惊讶的发现，该研究的作者提出地球内核可能正在经历减速。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“Scientists believe that the inner core may “floats” in the liquid metal and rotate (转动) independently of the rest of Earth’s layers.( 科学家们认为，内核可能“漂浮”在液态金属中，并独立于地球其他层旋转。)”可知，内核被液态金属包围。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“The observed changes in the inner core’s behavior are likely caused by magnetic forces acting on it (观测到的内核行为变化很可能是由作用于内核的磁力引起的)”可知，磁力可能是内核减速的原因。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“The investigation of this phenomenon will definitely lead us under the surface and into the core of understanding our planet! (对这一现象的研究肯定会让我们深入了解我们的星球！)”可知，作者认为这一研究让我们更加深入理解地球，是前途无量。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段讲到“A surprising finding that the inner core may recently have slowed down was published in Nature Geoscience. Let’s get to the core of how the Earth works to better understand the scientific findings.(《自然地球科学》杂志发表了一项令人惊讶的发现，内核最近可能已经减速。让我们进入地球如何运作的核心，以更好地理解科学发现)”可知，一项令人惊讶的发现表明地球内核可能正在减速。这篇文章最好的标题是“地核正在减速吗？”故选B。 D British anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win. Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant. Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males. As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females. Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing? 12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________. A. the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport events B. red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports C. red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D. athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red 13. The underlined word “tip” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. achieve B. advance C. keep D. change 14. The example of the blue footed booby proves that ________. A. male birds use different body parts to draw attention B. red is not the only colour to attract female birds C. blue gives female birds the same advantage D. blue can indicate how healthy a bird is 15. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The colour red gives male animals the most advantage. B. Male zebra finches prefer to have red plastic rings on their legs. C. Rules on sports clothing are going to be changed. D. Athletes wearing red may have an advantage over their opponents. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了两位人类学家的研究成果，那就是当竞争对手的能力相当时，红色对胜利起了作用。红色对鸟类、对运动员的成功都起着重要作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win (当两名运动员的身体素质和技术水平相等时，穿红衣服的运动员更有可能获胜)”可知，Hill和Barton通过研究得出结论：当竞争对手的能力相当时，红色对胜利起了作用。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“when there is only a small difference between them (当它们之间只有很小的差别时)”以及划线词下文“The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant. (人类学家说，红队获胜的次数并不仅仅是偶然的，而且这些结果在统计学上是显著的)”可推知，此处指当竞争对手的能力相当时，红色能够帮助取胜，改变原来的平衡。由此可知，划线词“tip”意为“改变”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier (事实上，Glasgow大学的研究人员说，这些鸟鲜艳的喙是健康的标志。生物学家Jonathan Blount和他的同事们认为他们已经发现，鲜红色或橙色的喙吸引雌性是因为这意味着雄性更健康)”可推知，蓝脚鲣鸟的例子证明了，红色不是吸引雌鸟的唯一颜色，只要是鲜艳颜色的喙都可以吸引雌鸟。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win(当两名运动员的身体素质和技术水平相等时，穿红衣服的运动员更有可能获胜)”以及文章最后一段“Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? (那么，那些穿着红色衣服在比赛中获胜的运动员呢？他们的衣服给了他们一种无意识的优势)”可推知，文章主要讨论了在比赛场上当两名选手在体能和技术上相当时，穿红色衣服的运动员更有优势，更有可能获胜这个研究成果。D项“穿红色衣服的运动员可能比他们的对手有优势。”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5个小题：每个小题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。 Living and studying abroad can be a rewarding and enriching experience.

He said to my husband, “We’ll move you to the leukemia floor. You’ll be here at least a month. A month! How were we going to struggle for a month? It was March. The end of a school year was approaching. My days with my high school students were limited. How could I prepare four weeks of lessor plans and hand them over to a substitute teacher? A month! Could we afford being in the hospital that long! Our insurance was good, but we’d still have to pay our part of the medical expenses. My meals wouldn’t be covered, and parking was so expensive! My head couldn’t do the math. I drove home, filled with countless worries. The next morning, I packed the car with everything needed for our hospital stay and headed to school to see my students, Because we live in a small community, they would have heard about my husband’s diagnosis. I would assure them that my husband would be fine, and that I would be fine, too. I’d encourage them to be their best selves for the substitute -and for me- while I was on family leave. When I entered my classroom, the chatter stopped. I could feel my students assess me as I walked to the front of the room, so I put on a smile and continued to my podium(讲台). Sitting on top was a green envelope with “Mrs. Sargent” written on it. I looked over the frames of my glasses at twenty-eight faces some smiling, some trying to resist. “What is this?” I asked. I picked up the envelope, and continued. “You guys…” 注意 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式作答。 When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out-fives, tens, twenties. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers’ hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out—fives, tens, twenties. At that moment, my throat tightened with emotion and I understood the meaning behind their excited faces. An overwhelming sense of pride from them washed over me. Should I take it? My brain was spinning fast. Seeing the money that the students raised, I couldn’t help but wonder another question: How had these kids collected so much money? I could even imagine the countless hours they had spent working odd jobs, determined to save every penny to help me. Therefore, deep within my heart, there was a firm voice,“I can’t take it”. Paragraph 2: As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accent these teenagers’ hard-earned money; but I decided to accent it. I tightly held up the cash and a sense of mixed feeling choked my words. With tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes, I hugged each student tightly. More important than the envelope was the kindness in their hearts and the lesson they had taught themselves: how wonderful it feels to meet someone’s needs and to make a difference. Through their small act of kindness, these teenagers have shown me their growth and they are not ignorant children, but young individuals with kindness in their hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的丈夫检查出得了癌症，作者为接下来产生的各种费用感到忧心，当她回学校，鼓励她的学生要做最好的自己时，学生们自发的把自己的钱捐助给作者，让作者深深的感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我打开信封时，硬币和一美元的钞票从里面掉了出来——五元的、十元的、二十元的。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到这些钱时的内心活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“作为房间里的成年人，我感到内疚，不愿意接受这些青少年辛苦赚来的钱，但我决定接受它。”可知，第二段可描写作者对学生这个善举的感谢。 2. 续写线索：丈夫得癌症——为费用感到担心——回学校看学生——学生捐钱给作者——内心纠结是否接受——决定接受——感悟。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①筹集：collect/raise ②决定：determine/make up one’s mind ③接受：accept/receive 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②不愿意的：unwilling/ relucant 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B When Liam Pope-Lau fell into the ocean during a sailing lesson, he had no idea what he was in for. “I just remember how cold it was,” Liam recalls. “It really scared me and shook me up.” Thankfully, he was wearing a life jacket, but the water was freezing. Liam’s scary experience inspired him to team up with his friend, Fraser Tuck, in his Grade 6 science class at the time. Together they came up with the idea of “LifeHeat” — a self-heating life jacket that could one day help someone in a similar situation. During the first phase, they concentrated on finding a chemical that creates heat upon contact with water. After a series of investigations, Liam and Fraser came across calcium chloride (氯化钙). It soon became LifeHeat’s primary chemical component, which allowed the life jacket to remain warm underwater. Over the next two years, Fraser and Liam built 13 prototypes (模型) of LifeHeat. But instead of building multiple life jackets from scratch (从零开始), the two focused on creating an attachable pouch (荷包). When the pouch came in contact with water, it could heat the body’s core. For each prototype, Liam and Fraser experimented with different materials that could contain calcium chloride while still allowing its heat to escape. In the process, they experienced countless failures which, however, led them to be more creative. The two have entered their many prototypes into several science competitions over the last two years. In November last year, Liam and Fraser won two awards at a big science fair. They are now taking the feedback they received from experts and applying it to their next prototype. Liam and Fraser anticipate turning their invention into a business. As for future inventors, Fraser and Liam have advice for kids who want to create their own new technology. “Don’t be afraid to try it out because you never know where it could end up,” said Liam. “Go for it before someone else can steal your idea,” added Fraser with a laugh. 4. What gives Liam the desire to invent the “LifeHeat”? A. A science class. B. An amusing experience. C. A special life jacket. D. A cold struggle in water. 5. What do the Fraser and Liam focus on initially? A. Finding a suitable chemical. B. Building multiple life jackets. C. Creating an attachable pouch. D. Testing the prototypes of LifeHeat. 6. What can we learn about the “LifeHeat”? A. It has been put on the market. B. It is invented through trial and error. C. Two of its prototypes won awards at a science fair. D. The attachable pouch is the most important part of it. 7. Which of the following can best describe Fraser and Liam? A. Humorous and ambitious. B. Courageous and competitive. C. Creative and determined. D. Humble and intelligent. C A surprising finding that the inner core may recently have slowed down was published in Nature Geoscience. Let’s get to the core of how the Earth works to better understand the scientific findings. The Earth is composed of several layers: the crust, which is the surface we live on; the mantle, which begins below the crust and ends at the outer core; the outer core, which is made of hot liquid metal; and the inner core, which is believed to be a solid metal ball of iron and nickel. Scientists believe that the inner core may “floats” in the liquid metal and rotate (转动) independently of the rest of Earth’s layers. The study’s authors propose the Earth’s inner core may be experiencing a slowdown and that this difference can be measured by observing a change in how seismic waves (地震波) pass through the Earth’s center during an earthquake. Older data shows a lot of change in the wave patterns while passing through the core, but recent data shows the changes are no longer as visible. After analyzing the patterns of seismic waves through the decades, scientists theorize the Earth’s inner core changes its rotational speed over time. Different studies have concluded that these changes in speed follow a pattern that may range from 20 to 70 years. The observed changes in the inner core’s behavior are likely caused by magnetic forces acting on it, which is produced by the movement of liquid iron in the outer core. Although the core’s spin seems to be independent, we know that all layers of the Earth interact and experience effects from each other. We have much more to learn about Earth and its physical processes. Scientists say that many years of continuous recording and study of seismic data are necessary to get answers. Until then, we must be patient. The investigation of this phenomenon will definitely lead us under the surface and into the core of understanding our planet! 8. Which layer is surrounded by the liquid metal? A. The crust. B. The mantle. C. The outer core. D. The inner core. 9. Which of the following may be a reason for the inner core’s slowdown? A. Magnetic forces. B. Seismic waves. C. Human activities. D. Rotation patterns. 10. What does the author think of the research into the Earth’s core? A. Promising. B. Ridiculous. C. Pointless. D. Questionable. 11. What would be the best title for this text? A. How does the Earth Work? B. Is the Earth’s Core Slowing Down? C. Is it Necessary to Record Seismic Data? D. What is Special about the Earth’s Core? D British anthropologists (人类学家) Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham, after studying the results of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman wrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games, conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill, the athlete wearing red is more likely to win. Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other, colour has no effect on the result. However, when there is only a small difference between them, the effect of colour is enough tip the balance. The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance, but that these results are statistically significant. Joanna Setchell, a primate (灵长目动物) researcher at the University of Cambridge, has found similar results in nature. She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills. Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces. Setchell’s work shows that the powerful males — the ones who are more successful with females — have a brighter red nose than other males. As well as the studies on primates by Setchell, another study shows the effect of red among birds. In an experiment, scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds’ success with female zebra finches, Zebra finches already have bright red beaks (鸟喙), so this study suggests that, as with Olympic athletes, an extra flash of red is significant. In fact, researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds’ brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health. Jonathan Blount, a biologist, and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier. Nothing in nature is simple, however, because in species such as the blue footed booby, a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females. Meanwhile, what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red? Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage? Robert Barton accepts that “that is the implication” of their findings. Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing? 12. According to their research. Hill and Barton conclude that ________.

He said to my husband, “We’ll move you to the leukemia floor. You’ll be here at least a month. A month! How were we going to struggle for a month? It was March. The end of a school year was approaching. My days with my high school students were limited. How could I prepare four weeks of lessor plans and hand them over to a substitute teacher? A month! Could we afford being in the hospital that long! Our insurance was good, but we’d still have to pay our part of the medical expenses. My meals wouldn’t be covered, and parking was so expensive! My head couldn’t do the math. I drove home, filled with countless worries. The next morning, I packed the car with everything needed for our hospital stay and headed to school to see my students, Because we live in a small community, they would have heard about my husband’s diagnosis. I would assure them that my husband would be fine, and that I would be fine, too. I’d encourage them to be their best selves for the substitute -and for me- while I was on family leave.

I picked up the envelope, and continued. “You guys…” 注意 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式作答。 When I opened the envelope, coins and dollar bills fell out-fives, tens, twenties. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As an adult in the room, I felt guilty and unwilling to accept these teenagers’ hard-earned money, but I decided to accept it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 AABAC 6—10 BCBCB 11—15 CAABA 16—20 CACBB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
