A house in Liverpool caught fire on the early morning of Christmas Eve,1996.An old lady who lived in the house alone was already in her late eighties.As she was very old and in poor health,she had great trouble walking even when things were fine.With her house on fire all around her,she was unable to go anywhere.The smoke made her choke.The fire soon spread all over the house,so she would have died without quick rescue.Firefighters arrived at the house before long and searched through the house.But unfortunately they didn’t find her,so they began to try to put out the fire.Just then a man dressed like Father Christmas was passing by,and he heard the old lady coughing badly in the house.At once he threw away all the gifts which he would give to poor families and rushed into the burning house.After a while he was seen to rush out with the old lady on his back.First he carried her to safety,and then he managed to take her to the nearest hospital.In the end,the old lady was saved.

I love running but I’ve never been great at the fast stuff.When I was in high school,I was unable to earn a spot on the track team,but our coach handed me the 1,500m,the race that nobody wanted to do;I finished last.At university,a friend tried to persuade me again and again to run the cross-country with her,but memories of being the slowest on the track troubled me.
I was happy to run on the roads at my speed.If I wanted to do a speedier workout,I just ran faster.And I continued to run and train like that for years until I started to run with Toronto Olympic Club.It wasn’t long before speed,interval(间歇)training,and broken miles all became a part of my weekly vocabulary.But I was still slower than everybody else.Speedwork scared me.
Last week,Coach sent me my first workout of this year.I had weeks to mentally prepare for this week,but I was still far from prepared.How much would I be able to push myself? I worried about what the numbers on my watch would show.How slow am I?
On Tuesday night,I parked my emotions and headed to the track.On Friday afternoon,I headed out the door for my second workout of the week,pushing myself up hills and into the wind for some quick intervals.I finished two workouts in Week 1.And I surprised myself;I wasn’t as slow as I had expected.
When you do something that scares you,something that is going to make you better,you’re growing.Take the addition of a few workouts to my running as an example.Not only did it help me get faster,but also it forced me to come out of my comfort zone and helped me grow.

While doing homework,Seoyoung Jun closed one eye and successfully picked up her pencil holder.She realized that directing herself in a 3D space didn’t require both eyes.This surprised her so much that she did some research.And she learned the brain can process 3D information with poor vision(视力) or even without any vision.Then the idea for Mind Beacon was born.
It uses a thin line of light to gather 3D information about the placement of walls,furniture and other things.Then the light sends that information back to Mind Beacon,which then raises little pins(大头针) to show where those obstacles(障碍物) are.Then blind people can “read” the position of those pins to understand the positions of structures and objects ahead and walk around them.
When the invention worked for the first time,Seoyoung didn’t believe it.She’d been up all night working on it.To be sure there wasn’t a mistake,she shut it off and started it up.It had been seven long months of research and testing.Now this tool can help disabled people create a mental image of their surroundings.
The heart of Mind Beacon is a 3D depth sensor that’s connected to a computer.That computer can control motors that are lined up in three rows of three.Each motor controls a pin that can move up and down.When the sensor finds an obstacle,the pin rises.It can rise to three different heights.Each height roughly represents the height of the obstacle.Someone who runs their hand over the nine pins can tell where the obstacle is and its general height.
Mind Beacon won Seoyoung a place at the world’s high school research competition.Right now,she wants to ameliorate it.She imagines in the future it can be connected to a smartphone,with more little pins to show the exact height of the obstacle.It would feel like a little map showing the location and size of the obstacle ahead.
28.What inspired Seoyoung to invent Mind Beacon?
A.The desire to win a competition.
B.The blind’s good sense of touch.
C.Her wish to bring convenience to the disabled.
D.Her ability to locate an object without full vision.
答案 D

A.By informing them of the obstacles in advance.
B.By teaching them to describe dangerous objects.
C.By making them have easy access to the Internet.
D.By training them to remember maps of their living areas.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段“...to gather 3D information about the placement...show where those obstacles(障碍物) are...walk around them.”可知,Mind Beacon通过让盲人提前知道障碍物的位置来给他们提供帮助。
30.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The limitations of Mind Beacon pins.
B.The working process of Mind Beacon.
C.The role of computers in Mind Beacon.

C.Improve. D.Control.
答案 C

Long ago,Mexican wolves were common all through the Southwestern US and Northern Mexico.But as more human activities appeared in the areas,the wolves were hunted until they almost died out.The Mexican wolf is the rarest kind of gray wolf in North America.In the 1970s,the US government began a program of raising Mexican wolves and releasing(放出) them back into nature.The program hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area.
The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS).A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild,and half of them had baby wolves last spring.Around 90 baby wolves were born in all,and 58% of them survived.The count reported a total of 163 wolves,which is nearly 25% more than last year.Over the last 10 years,the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15% a year.
One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves.The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more adaptable than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults.Besides,new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group.
However,not everyone is excited about the news.For farmers,who must protect their cattle from wolves,the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms.Last year,184 farm animals were killed in all.That’s the largest number since 1998.
Now,the USFWS and others are studying the increase in cattle killings,and trying to figure out solutions to protecting both Mexican wolves and farm animals.Bryan Bird,speaking for a group called Defenders of Wildlife,says,“Ensuring that wolves and people can get along is a necessary part of long-term success.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。通过野外放生的方式,北美洲濒危野生动物墨西哥狼种群数量呈现增长趋势。
32.What is the aim of the US program?
A.To call on people to fight against hunting.
B.To reduce the natural areas for human activities.
C.To make sure the Mexican wolf population recovers.
D.To improve the living conditions of Mexican wolves.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a program of raising Mexican wolves...make the wolves spread back across the area...”可知,这个项目的目的是恢复墨西哥狼的数量。
33.What do the numbers reported by the USFWS show?
A.The US program has achieved great success.
B.The baby wolves have faced some difficulties.
C.The number of wolves has been out of control.
D.The Mexican wolves have trouble fitting into the wild.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中USFWS报告的各项数据可知,墨西哥狼的种群数量在增加,也就说明美国的这个项目取得了很大成果。
34.What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A.Most young wolves are healthier than adult wolves.
B.Wildlife managers should take measures to manage wolves.
C.Releasing wolves in the wild causes some environmental problems.
D.Mixing human-raised baby wolves with wild wolves benefits them all.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知,把人工培育的小狼和野狼混合在一起对它们都有好处。
35.What problem is mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.Wild Mexican wolves are short of food.
B.Farmers suffer losses due to increasing wolves.
C.Farmers fail to know how to drive away wild wolves.
D.Wild Mexican wolves are still in danger of dying out.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...not everyone is excited...more lost animals on their farms.”可知,墨西哥狼数量的增加给农民带来了损失。

Most of us enjoy stories—whether it’s reading a wonderful book,listening to a friend tell a joke or watching a programme on television.Did you know that writing stories is actually good for you,too?On 23 June it is National Writing Day,an annual celebration of creative writing. 36
What is creative writing?
Creative writing is based on your imagination—fiction and poetry are good examples.Fiction is written work that describes events and people the writers imagine.Fiction can include novels and short stories. 37 Scripts(剧本) for a play,film or TV show and fan fiction count.
Is it really good for me?
Many people find creative writing cathartic(宣泄的),which means they feel relaxed because they’re releasing thoughts and emotions that they’ve kept bottled up.According to the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families,writing about a character’s feelings can make it easier to understand your own feelings. 38
Another benefit of creative writing is that it can increase your self-esteem(how positive you feel about yourself).It can help you realize that your voice is important and powerful.Children’s author Mark Haddon says,“ 39 It’s about learning that you,your family,your culture and your view of the world are rich and interesting and important.”
The power of imagination
40 This space can help you to think more positively about a problem you might have,or simply allow you to escape to a magical,make-believe world.
A.It’s more than learning a skill.
B.However,these aren’t the only forms of creative writing.
C.Examples of creative writing can be found pretty much everywhere.
D.For many people,creative writing offers a “time out” or escape from real life.
E.It’s also a chance to understand the benefits of creative writing and using your imagination.
F.They also say that creative writing can be a useful tool for self-care,or taking care of yourself.
G.To get better at creative writing,you must understand the factors that make writing a book great.

37.答案 B
解析 上文“Fiction can include novels and short stories.”说明小说和短故事是创意写作,下文“Scripts(剧本) for a play,film or TV show and fan fiction count.”说明另外有很多种形式都算创意写作,空处起承上启下的作用,选项B(然而,这些并不是创意写作仅有的形式)符合语境。故选B。
38.答案 F
解析 上文“According to the Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families,writing about a character’s feelings can make it easier to understand your own feelings.”说明有人认为创意写作有利于理解自我的感受,与选项F(他们还说,创意写作可以成为自我保健或照顾自己的有用工具)相一致。故选F。
39.答案 A
解析 下文“It’s about learning that you,your family,your culture and your view of the world are rich and interesting and important.”说明创意写作不仅仅是学习一项技能那么简单,与选项A(这不仅仅是学习一项技能)相一致。故选A。
40.答案 D
解析 下文“This space can help you to think more positively about a problem you might have,or simply allow you to escape to a magical,make-believe world.”说明创意写作可以帮你暂时逃离当下的世界,选项D(对于许多人来说,创意写作提供了一种“暂停”或逃避现实生活的机会)与下文内容相一致。故选D。

解析 考查名词复数。city为可数名词,根据“such as Shanghai,Tianjin and Guangzhou”可知,此处应用其复数形式。故填cities。
57.答案 to move

The Turtle and the Rabbit
Once upon a time,there was a boastful rabbit.The rabbit always laughed at the turtle.“I’m fast and you’re slow!” “You are so proud,but someone must run faster than you,” the turtle said to the rabbit.So,there was an argument between them.They decided to fight it out in a race.After determining the route,they began to run.
The rabbit lunged ahead and took the lead.He saw that the turtle was far behind.The rabbit thought that he should rest under the tree for a while.So he sat down under the tree and soon fell asleep.The turtle slowly overtook him.Later,the rabbit woke up and saw the turtle just right near the finishing line.He ran madly to the finishing line,but it was too late.As the rabbit was running towards the finishing line,the turtle had completed the race,becoming the undisputed champion.The rabbit lost.
参考范文
Recently I have read a fable,which describes a race between a turtle and a rabbit.The rabbit fell asleep on the halfway while the turtle continued his journey.When the rabbit woke up,the turtle had passed the finishing line.
This fable tells us not to look down upon others.And we should remember that modesty and diligence lead to success.Satisfied with his past achievements,Xiaoming didn’t try his best to prepare for the final exam.As a result,he was left behind by diligent Xiaogang.
Frankly speaking,I conclude that modesty helps one to make progress.On the contrary,conceit leads to failure.Success can only be achieved by working hard and never giving up halfway.
