That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree. Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling. Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times. Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful. 4. What did Jennifer do after high school? A. She helped her dad with his work. B. She ran the family farm on her own. C. She supported herself through college. D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home. 5. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield? A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses. C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there. 6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal? A. Her health. B. Her time with family. C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion. 7. What can we learn from Jenifer's story? A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers. C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Jennifer在家里不能提供大学教育的情况下，通过自己的努力，以及家人的帮助完成了四年学位。她的努力不仅让自己以优异的成绩毕业，还给家人，尤其是她的三个孩子树立了榜样，让他们得到了激励。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition, because there was no extra money set aside for a college education.(高中毕业后，Jennifer上了一所当地的技术学院来支付她的学费，因为家里没有额外的钱用来支付大学教育)可知，高中毕业后Jennifer通过自己挣钱来完成大学教学，因为家里没有额外的钱。C. She supported herself through college.(她自食其力读完了大学)符合以上说法，故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Misnistry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids.(她选择了位于马什菲尔德的圣约瑟夫医院的UW-Eau Claire项目，因为她可以在离家近的地方攻读四年的学位。她可以开车去上课，晚上可以回家照顾孩子)可知，Jennifer选择位于马什菲尔德的圣约瑟夫医院的UW-Eau Claire项目是因为离家近，这样便于照顾她的三个孩子。A. To take care of her kids easily.(为了方便照顾她的孩子)符合以上说法，故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的Jennifer sacrificed to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study.(Jennifer为了实现自己的目标牺牲了很多，她放弃了很多个和孩子待在一起的晚上，错过了很多重要的活动)可知，为了实现自己的目标Jennifer放弃了和家人待在一起的时光。B. Her time with family.(她与家人的时光)符合以上说法，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的Through it all, she reminded in good academic standing and graduated with honors.(虽然经历了这些，但她一直保持着良好的学术地位，并以优异的成绩毕业)和However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that’s the pretty powerful.(然而，她的孩子们在见证母亲获得学位的过程中得到了重要的一课。Jennifer是第一代毕业生，这对她的家庭来说是一种激励--这是非常强大的。)可知，Jennifer在艰苦的环境中通过自己的努力不仅以优异的成绩毕业，还给孩子树立了榜样，同时也让家人得到了激励。由此推测，我们可以从Jennifer的故事中学到:努力总会有回报。C. Hard work pays off.(努力会得到回报)符合以上说法，故选C项。 C Two vaccines（疫苗）developed by a Maryland company are showing promise in the fight against malaria（疟疾）. One vaccine was 100 percent effective in preventing the deadly disease malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by parasites（寄生虫）and carried by mosquitoes. Parasites are organisms that live on or in an organism of another species and feed off it or get protection from it. Mosquitoes spread the disease to people by biting on their skin. The World Health Organization says there are 214 million cases of malaria each year. And the deadly disease kills over 400,000 people a year worldwide. People who have malaria often have a fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Serious complications happen, including death, when the disease is left untreated. The new vaccines work by preparing the immune system to fight the disease. Researchers do this by introducing live, but weakened, young parasites called sporozoites. They are injected into the body by infected mosquitoes. Both vaccines target Plasmodium Falciparum（恶性疟原虫），which is the most common and deadly form of the disease. One successful trail was carried out in Germany. Different amounts of the vaccine were injected into 27 healthy people who volunteered for the study. Another group of 15 was given a placebo, which is a substance given to a patient like a drug, but t has no physical effect on the person. Eight to 10 weeks after the last vaccine amount, both groups were then exposed to the parasites that carried the malaria. Stephen Hoffman is chief executive and scientific officer of Sanaria. He says the researchers were surprised by the results from nine of the people who received the highest vaccine amount. “We got 100% protection against malaria at ten weeks after the last amount of the vaccine. That is really beginning to look like something quite extraordinary and that's never been done before.” 8. What can we know about malaria? A. It is a disease that can't be treated. B. It kills people when left untreated. C. It is a deadly disaster with a high death rate. D. It is a flu-like disease caused by mosquitoes. 9 How do the new vaccines function to fight malaria? A. By killing parasites in the mosquitoes. B By getting rid of most of the mosquitoes. C. By injecting parasites into mosquitoes' body. D. By restarting the immune system of people's body. 10. How does Stephen Hoffman think of the experiment effect of the vaccine? A. Remarkable. B. Unpredictable. C. Unsatisfactory. D. Unreasonable. 11. Which section of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Science &technology. B. Education. C. Lifestyle. D. Politics. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，马里兰州一家公司开发的两种疫苗在抗击疟疾方面显示出了希望，一种疫苗在预防致命疾病疟疾方面100%有效，并对其进行了介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“People who have malaria often have a fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Serious complications happen, including death, when the disease is left untreated.”（患疟疾的人经常发烧、发冷和患有流感样疾病。当疾病未得到治疗，严重并发症发生，包括死亡），可知疟疾严重的话，如果不治疗，它会致人死亡。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中的“The new vaccines work by preparing the immune system to fight the disease.”（新疫苗的工作原理是让免疫系统准备好对抗这种疾病。），可知新疫苗是通过激发人体的免疫系统来抵抗疾病，即通过重新启动人体的免疫系统。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中的““We got 100% protection against malaria at ten weeks after the last amount of the vaccine. That is really beginning to look like something quite extraordinary and that's never been done before.””（“我们在最后一次接种疫苗后的十周内获得了100%预防疟疾。这真的开始看起来很令人惊奇，这从来没有发生过。”），可知Stephen Hoffman说获得100%预防疟疾这是很令人惊奇的，因为这种100%预防疟疾从未发生过，可得出Stephen Hoffman认为疫苗的实验效果很显著的。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“Two vaccines（疫苗）developed by a Maryland company are showing promise in the fight against malaria（疟疾）. One vaccine was 100 percent effective in preventing the deadly disease malaria.”（马里兰州一家公司开发的两种疫苗在抗击疟疾方面显示出了希望。一种疫苗在预防致命疾病疟疾方面100%有效。）和其它段落关于“疟疾疫苗”的介绍，可知文章主要向读者介绍了预防致命疾病疟疾100%有效的“疟疾疫苗”的相关信息，属于科普类文章，可得出本文会出现在杂志的“科学和技术”版块。故选A项。 D Many people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world. Alexandra Sullivan, a food systems researcher in New York, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.” The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city residents grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it. In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world. Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals. 12. Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion about urban agriculture? A. Urban agriculture has developed recently. B. Urban agriculture takes too much city space. C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities. D. Urban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture. 13. For traditional agriculture, urban agriculture is a(n) ________. A. model B. addition C. competitor D. replacement 14. What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text? A. It has large farming areas. B. It can only grow single products. C. It produces enough food for citizens. D. It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables. 15. What is the author’s opinion on the urban farms? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Confused. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。这篇文章主要讲了城市农业历史以及它的种植方式和意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.”（据沙利文女士说，“自从世界各地的城市出现以来，城市农业就一直存在。”）可知Ms. Sullivan认为城市农业和城市有着同样长的历史。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.”（城市居民将这些食物作为农村农业生产的食物的补充。）可知对于传统农业来说，城市农业是一个补充。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City.”（例如，布鲁克林农庄(Brooklyn Grange)是一家在纽约市拥有两个屋顶蔬菜农场的农场。）可知，Brooklyn Grange充分利用屋顶的空间来种植蔬菜。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals.”（随着越来越多的城市农民找到在城市种植食物的方法，城市居民将能够更好地获得更新鲜的食物材料。）故可推知，作者对城市农业持肯定态度。故选B项。 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。 How to protect your hearing All sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(分贝) — from industrial machines to heavy traffic and loud music — are a threat to your hearing, especially if your exposure is long or repeated. That’s because loud sounds can injure or destroy hair cells in your inner ear that are involved in sending sound signals to your brain. ____16____ . Since most of us don’t carry decibel meters around, you can rely instead on this rule of thumb: if you are required to raise your voice to be heard by someone standing an arm’s length away then there’s potential for harm. Ideally, you can reduce the noise, go to a quieter environment or wear protection such as earplugs. ____17____ . Many smartphones can produce sounds of 100 decibels or more. Some will warn you when you exceed safe levels. If yours doesn’t, keep it set to less than the maximum volume. Deafeningly loud noise is not to blame for all hearing loss, though. ____18____. In addition, the inner ear can also become worse as you get older, and unfortunately, there’s no real way to prevent this. If you suspect you’ve lost some hearing, see a GP or audiologist. ____19____, particularly when it’s a question of picking up people’s speech. The technology itself “can take a while to get used to because your brain needs to readjust,” says audiologist Dr. Gemma Twitchen. “____20____ , when you first notice it reducing.” Hearing aids are improving in terms of comfort, sound quality and appearance — there are now tiny, barely noticeable models available. A. As the condition affects each sufferer differently B. A hearing aid could improve your abilities noticeably C. The louder the noise, the more likely it will cause damage D. Occasionally, the root of the problem can be a cracked eardrum E. They could ease it by giving your brain external sounds to focus on F. Listening to music through earphones is a common cause of hearing loss G. It’s much easier if you take action on getting your hearing assessed early on 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了听力受损的原因以及解决办法。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Since most of us don’t carry decibel meters around, you can rely instead on this rule of thumb: if you are required to raise your voice to be heard by someone standing an arm’s length away then there’s potential for harm.（因为我们大多数人都不携带分贝计，所以你可以依靠这条经验法则：如果你被要求提高声音让站在一臂之遥的人听到，那么你就有可能受到伤害）”推知，空处应陈述声音大小对人的影响。C项“声音越大，就越可能造成伤害”符合题意。故选C。 【17题详解】 下文“Many smartphones can produce sounds of 100 decibels or more.（许多智能手机可以发出100分贝或更高的声音）”提到了智能手机发出很大的声音。结合常识可知，很多人是通过连接在智能手机上的耳机听音乐的。F项“通过耳机听音乐是导致听力损失的常见原因”符合题意，选项中的earphones呼应下文的smart phones。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Deafeningly loud noise is not to blame for all hearing loss, though.（然而，震耳欲聋的噪音并不是所有听力损失的罪魁祸首）”和下文“In addition, the inner ear can also become worse as you get older, and unfortunately, there’s no real way to prevent this.（此外，随着年龄的增长，内耳也会变得更糟，不幸的是，没有真正的方法来防止这种情况）”可知，上文提到分贝高的噪音并不是所有听力损伤的罪魁祸首，下文提到内耳的衰老和病变。由此推知，空处应该解释听力受损的另一个原因。D项“偶尔，问题的根源可能是耳膜破裂”符合题意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据上文“If you suspect you’ve lost some hearing, see a GP or audiologist. （如果你怀疑你失去了一些听力，去看家庭医生或听力专家）”和下文“particularly when it’s a question of picking up people’s speech.（特别是当听别人说话有问题时）”推知，空处应陈述专家或家庭医生给出的改善听力的方法。B 项“一个助听器可以显著提高你的听力能力”符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 根据下文“when you first notice it reducing.（那是你首次注意到听力减退时）”可知，G项“如果你能尽早采取行动评估听力，那就容易多了”与下文承接自然，选项中的early on呼应下文的first。故选G。 【点睛】 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last weekend I took a bus to New York City.

While the students found the soldier’s idea ____43____(interest), the system was too difficult to be of practical use. However, young Louis Braille took the idea and worked on it. At the age of fifteen, he created a system ---‘Braille’. The blind can ___44___ (easy) recognize Braille with the fingers. Today, ___45___ is the most common system for them to read and write. 【答案】36. written 37. However 38. introducing 39. lost 40. of 41. that##which 42. was represented 43. interesting 44. easily 45. it 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。讲述了Louis Braille发明盲文的原因、过程和盲文的重要作用。 【36题详解】 考查过去分词。句意：通常，当我们谈到阅读时，我们想到的是用眼睛看到纸上用墨水写的字母。句中letters和动词write是被动关系，指字母被写在纸上，用过去分词作定语。故填written。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：通常，当我们谈到阅读时，我们想到的是用眼睛看到纸上用墨水写的字母。然而，这并不总是正确的。前后句是转折关系，和下句用逗号隔开，故填However。 【38题详解】 考查现在分词。句意：向盲人介绍阅读的人是Louis Braille。句中已有动词was，此处用非谓语动词。句中The man和动词introduce是主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填introducing。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态。根据时间状语at the age of three可知是讲述Braille三岁时发生的事，用一般过去时。故填过去式lost。 【40题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：Braille在三岁时由于受伤而失去了视力。“因为，由于”是固定短语as a result of，故填of。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句中包含定语从句___6___ could be felt with the fingers，先行词是raised dots指物，在定语从句中做主语，用关系代词that/ which引导定语从句。故填that/ which。 【42题详解】 考查时态语态。句意：字母表中的每个字母都由12个点组成的不同图案表示。根据时间In 1821可知用过去时，又Each letter和动词represent是被动关系，在句中作谓语，故填一般过去时的被动形式was represented。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。此处指学生们发现这个士兵的想法很有趣，用形容词作宾补。修饰指物的名词idea用-ing结尾的形容词，故填interesting。 【44题详解】 考查副词。此处修饰动词recognize用副词，指“容易识别”。故填easily。 【45题详解】 考查代词。句意：现在，对他们来说，读和写是最常见的系统。句中真正的主语是不定式to read and write，用it做形式主语。故填It。 【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如小题6中先行词为raised dots指物，在定语从句中做主语，用关系代词that/ which引导定语从句。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的外国网友Michael将到中国留学，他担心自己可能难以适应新环境。请你给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 表示欢迎与祝贺; 2. 给出适应新环境的建议。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Michael, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Michael, Welcome to China for further study!

I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings. Being connected was more important than being present. So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh. It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite. I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us. I saw a road stretching out like a ribbon.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service. The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged. I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back. I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed. 1. 续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad. The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在作者成为高中生前的几个月，父母送作者手机作为礼物，作者沉迷于其中。父亲计划家庭露营时作者很失望，因营地无手机信号。露营首日作者情绪失控，但次日早晨心态有所转变。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我没有把自己埋在手机里，而是专注于其他事情：我的周围环境。”可知，第一段可以描写周围吸引着作者的环境和作者的心态变化。 ②由第二段句首内容“接下来的四天过得很快，有许多有趣的活动。”可知，第二段可以描写作者所进行的 活动。 2. 续写线索：专注于周围环境——没那么糟糕——有趣的活动——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①让：let/have ②创造：create/produce ③想，认为：think/consider 情绪类 ①愤怒：anger/rage ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time.

It’s made up of more than 1,800 coral islands, spreading over a sea area of about 90 thousand square kilometers on the Indian Ocean. People in Maldives believe in Islam. They must observe the religious rules strictly. However, tourists don’t need to follow these customs inside hotels, but they must do as the locals when they enter the community of the local people. Jeju Island Jeju Island, also known as the “Islands of the Gods”, is the biggest island of South Korea. It is a volcanic island with a pleasant climate. Its yearly average temperature is 16℃, which makes it the most attractive vacation stop in Northeast Asia. It has gained fame as a shopping paradise. Here all the luxury(奢侈品) brands are free of duty. Every summer thousands of tourists come here to look for the gods, enjoy the coolness of the gentle sea breeze and buy cheap luxuries. Phuket Island Phuket Island, the biggest island of Thailand, is called a pearl on the Indian Ocean. It is world-famous for its beautiful beaches. Some are quiet and tourist-friendly, and some are as luxurious as personal vacation beaches. Some are famous for sea sports, and some are attractive to lovers of evening entertainments. Therefore, you’ll have a good time here whether you’re single or accompanied by your friends. Hayman Island Hayman Island, a secret vacation island, is one of the coral islands that make up the Great Barrier Reef. Every year thousands of tourists come here to admire the beauty of the tropic sea and the charming scene of the Great Barrier Reef. However, they seldom see any waiters and waitresses around as they work in and travel through a special tunnel(通道). This is why it’s called the most secret resort. 1.

That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree. Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling. Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times. Through it all she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family-and that's pretty powerful. 4. What did Jennifer do after high school? A. She helped her dad with his work. B. She ran the family farm on her own. C. She supported herself through college. D. She taught her sisters and brothers at home. 5. Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield? A. To take care of her kids easily. B. To learn from the best nurses. C. To save money for her parents. D. To find a well-paid job there. 6. What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal? A. Her health. B. Her time with family. C. Her reputation. D. Her chance of promotion. 7 What can we learn from Jenifer's story? A. Time is money. B. Love breaks down barriers. C. Hard work pays off. D. Education is the key to success. C Two vaccines（疫苗）developed by a Maryland company are showing promise in the fight against malaria（疟疾）. One vaccine was 100 percent effective in preventing the deadly disease malaria. Malaria is a disease caused by parasites（寄生虫）and carried by mosquitoes. Parasites are organisms that live on or in an organism of another species and feed off it or get protection from it. Mosquitoes spread the disease to people by biting on their skin. The World Health Organization says there are 214 million cases of malaria each year. And the deadly disease kills over 400,000 people a year worldwide. People who have malaria often have a fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Serious complications happen, including death, when the disease is left untreated. The new vaccines work by preparing the immune system to fight the disease. Researchers do this by introducing live, but weakened, young parasites called sporozoites. They are injected into the body by infected mosquitoes. Both vaccines target Plasmodium Falciparum（恶性疟原虫），which is the most common and deadly form of the disease. One successful trail was carried out in Germany. Different amounts of the vaccine were injected into 27 healthy people who volunteered for the study. Another group of 15 was given a placebo, which is a substance given to a patient like a drug, but t has no physical effect on the person. Eight to 10 weeks after the last vaccine amount, both groups were then exposed to the parasites that carried the malaria. Stephen Hoffman is chief executive and scientific officer of Sanaria. He says the researchers were surprised by the results from nine of the people who received the highest vaccine amount. “We got 100% protection against malaria at ten weeks after the last amount of the vaccine. That is really beginning to look like something quite extraordinary and that's never been done before.” 8. What can we know about malaria? A. It is a disease that can't be treated. B. It kills people when left untreated. C. It is a deadly disaster with a high death rate. D. It is a flu-like disease caused by mosquitoes. 9. How do the new vaccines function to fight malaria? A. By killing parasites in the mosquitoes. B. By getting rid of most of the mosquitoes. C. By injecting parasites into mosquitoes' body. D. By restarting the immune system of people's body. 10. How does Stephen Hoffman think of the experiment effect of the vaccine? A. Remarkable. B. Unpredictable. C. Unsatisfactory. D. Unreasonable. 11. Which section of a magazine is the text probably from? A. Science &technology. B. Education. C. Lifestyle. D. Politics. D Many people wrongly think that cities don’t have farms and fruits and vegetables are only grown in the country. Believe it or not, there are more urban farms popping up in cities all over the world. Alexandra Sullivan a food systems researcher in New York, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is another name for farming and gardening in a city environment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything from tiny gardens in empty lots between buildings to bigger fields that have been planted and grown. According to Ms. Sullivan, “Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, across the world.” The number of humans living in urban areas, or cities, is increasing. The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city residents grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesn’t have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it. In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isn’t a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operation that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space. This makes Brooklyn Grange one of the largest rooftop farming operations in the world. Brooklyn Grange grows all kinds of things. The farming company sells its vegetables to local residents and restaurants. And because the farms are on rooftops, they are specially adapted to their urban location. They use available space that is not needed for anything else. As more urban farmers find ways to grow food in cities, urban residents will be better able to get fresher materials for their meals. 12. Which of the following is Ms. Sullivan’s opinion about urban agriculture? A. Urban agriculture has developed recently. B. Urban agriculture takes too much city space. C. Urban agriculture has a history as long as cities. D. Urban agriculture can take the place of rural agriculture. 13. For traditional agriculture, urban agriculture is a(n) ________. A. model B. addition C. competitor D. replacement 14. What can we learn about Brooklyn Grange in New York City from the text? A. It has large farming areas. B. It can only grow single products. C. It produces enough food for citizens. D. It makes use of rooftop space to grow vegetables. 15. What is the author’s opinion on the urban farms? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Worried. D. Confused. 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。 How to protect your hearing All sounds that are louder than 85 decibels(分贝) — from industrial machines to heavy traffic and loud music — are a threat to your hearing, especially if your exposure is long or repeated. That’s because loud sounds can injure or destroy hair cells in your inner ear that are involved in sending sound signals to your brain. ____16____ . Since most of us don’t carry decibel meters around, you can rely instead on this rule of thumb: if you are required to raise your voice to be heard by someone standing an arm’s length away then there’s potential for harm. Ideally, you can reduce the noise, go to a quieter environment or wear protection such as earplugs. ____17____ . Many smartphones can produce sounds of 100 decibels or more. Some will warn you when you exceed safe levels. If yours doesn’t, keep it set to less than the maximum volume. Deafeningly loud noise is not to blame for all hearing loss, though. ____18____. In addition, the inner ear can also become worse as you get older, and unfortunately, there’s no real way to prevent this. If you suspect you’ve lost some hearing, see a GP or audiologist. ____19____, particularly when it’s a question of picking up people’s speech. The technology itself “can take a while to get used to because your brain needs to readjust,” says audiologist Dr. Gemma Twitchen. “____20____ , when you first notice it reducing.” Hearing aids are improving in terms of comfort, sound quality and appearance — there are now tiny, barely noticeable models available. A. As the condition affects each sufferer differently B. A hearing aid could improve your abilities noticeably C. The louder the noise, the more likely it will cause damage D. Occasionally, the root of the problem can be a cracked eardrum E. They could ease it by giving your brain external sounds to focus on F Listening to music through earphones is a common cause of hearing loss G. It’s much easier if you take action on getting your hearing assessed early on 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last weekend I took a bus to New York City.
