The organization trains and supports about 1,000 volunteers per year(为了改善中国弱势儿童的福利，自2006年以来，一家在上海注册的非营利组织举办了许多以儿童教育和福利为重点的项目。该组织每年培训和支持约1000名志愿者)”可知，文中提到的是“每年培训和支持约1000名志愿者”，并非“总共培训了约1000名志愿者”。因此，选项B“到目前为止，它总共培训了大约1000名志愿者”是不正确的。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Teaching English部分中的“A good grasp of English (native-level English NOT required) and ability to interact well with children and young adults is a must.( 必须具备良好的英语水平（不要求母语为英语）以及与儿童和年轻人良好互动的能力)”可知，如果想在该组织担任英语教学的志愿者，必须具备良好的英语水平，并且能够与儿童和年轻人良好互动，即具有良好的社交技能以与学生相处。故选C。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据Time commitment部分中的划线词上文“Minimum 18 years old. 16 years old and above can be considered (要求：最低18岁。16岁及以上的人可以被考虑)”和语境可知，年龄要求18岁，所以16岁以上的想要参加必须经过父母的同意。所以划线单词意为“同意，许可”。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据Teaching digital literacy skills部分“Volunteers are needed to independently teach or to assist our full-time computer teachers to teach digital literacy skills that are common to the modern workplace.(需要志愿者独立授课，或者协助我们的全职计算机教师教授现代职场常见的数字素养技能)”可知，志愿者需要独立教学或协助全职计算机老师教学。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据Teaching English部分志愿者每周需投入4-5 小时，Teaching digital literacy skills部分志愿者每周需投入2-4 时，Non-teaching volunteer roles部分“Depends on the specific responsibility, but generally at least one day (eight hours) per week.(这取决于具体的职责，但一般来说每周至少一天（八小时）)”可知，非教学志愿者一般每周工作时间比教学志愿者长。故选C。 B Psychiatrists (精神病专家), who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset (资产) in child raising — older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children. But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.” Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says. Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.” 41. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising? A. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C. Older parents are often better prepared financially. D. Older parents can take better care of their children. 42. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”？ A. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age. B. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years. C. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of. D. They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age. 43. The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______. A. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age B. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies D. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children 44. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst? A. Being laughed at by other people B. Slowing down of their pace of life C. Being mistaken for grandparents D. Approaching of death 45. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen? A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment. B. Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family. C. They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter. D. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. C 44. D 45. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大家关于“精神病学家认为年长父母对于抚养孩子会更有优势”这一观点各自的看法和见解。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Psychiatrists (精神病专家), who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset(资产) in child raising — older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with children.（与年长父母合作精神病专家认为，成熟对于教养孩子这件事是一项优势——年长的父母更体贴，较少使用体罚，花更多的时间与孩子在一起。）”可知，精神病学家认为成熟是优势是因为年长的父母能更好地照顾孩子，故选D。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.（一个经济学教授说道：“晚育孩子通常意味着父母会更晚退休，尤其是对父亲来说”。对很多人说来，退休就变成了一个无法得到的梦想。）”可知，划线句前文对划线句进行了解释，“晚育会令父母更晚些时候退休”，也就是到了退休年纪，而不得不继续工作挣钱，故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first.（54岁的记者Henry Metcalf知道，养孩子会花很多钱。但是他同样担心他首先可能会精力不足。）”可知，作者用Henry Metcalf作为例子，主要是为了说明，年长的父母可能更担心的是自己衰老的身体，故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“‘They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.’ Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says.（纽约的心理学家Joann Galst说道：“他们会担心自己被认作祖父母，或者他们需要帮助才能从椅子上站起来。但是在这些担心中，他们主要担心的是，他们无法活足够长的时间来养活和保护自己的孩子”。）”可知，年长父母最大的担忧就是他们可能快接近死亡，而没有足够多的时间来养活孩子，故选D。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最有一段“The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, ‘a sense of family.’（这对双胞胎给与了这对夫妇多年来渴望的“家庭的感觉”。）”可知，对于Marilyn and Randy Nolen，直到他们生下这对双胞胎，他们才有了“家庭的归属感”，才感觉自己组建了家庭，故选B。 C Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy. Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything. Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnet — head sharks — a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers — off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked (模仿) Earth’s natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes. They used software to track the sharks’ responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or ‘home’, they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if tying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS. Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller. Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology. Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces. 46. The comparison between taxi drivers and sharks in the first paragraph serves to ________. A. highlight the simplicity of sharks’ navigation ability B. criticize the dependence of human beings on technology C. introduce the topic with a familiar everyday situation D. claim sharks’ abilities surpass human inventions 47. Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth’s magnetic field? A. Because it’s too hard to follow and observe sharks in nature. B. Because sharks are fierce and unfriendly to human beings. C. Because sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting. D. Because most sharks are on the list of endangered species. 48. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field? A. They don’t like the climate in the north. B. They’ve never been to the north of their home before. C. They learned to do so when they were young. D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough. 49. From the passage, we can infer that Keller’s research is significant because it ________. A. provides a new approach to studying sharks in the ocean. B. supports the idea that sharks’ migration patters are random. C. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biology. D. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field to find their way on seas. B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs. C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change. D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home. 【答案】46. C 47. C 48. B 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现鲨鱼能利用地球磁场导航进行长途旅行 。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy.(大多数出租车司机需要智能手机才能到达目的地。但鲨鱼似乎只需要自己的身体和地球的磁场。一项新的研究表明，一些鲨鱼可以像看地图一样读取地球的磁场，并利用它进行精确的长距离旅行)”可知，第一段通过对比出租车司机依赖智能手机导航与鲨鱼仅靠自身和地球磁场导航，旨在以熟悉的日常情境引入鲨鱼利用地球磁场导航这一话题。故选C。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate, partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything.(但没有人证明鲨鱼会利用磁场来定位或导航，部分原因是这些动物不太容易研究。如果你有一条小鱼或一只小海龟，那是一回事，但当你研究鲨鱼时，你必须升级所有东西)”可知，研究人员很难证明鲨鱼可以读取地球磁场是因为鲨鱼太大，很难在实验室环境中研究。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller.(令人惊讶的是，研究人员发现，当鲨鱼在北方磁场下游动时，它们不倾向于任何方向。凯勒说，这可能是因为它们不会去家乡以北的地方，因为那里只有陆地，所以它们很少需要再次找到返回南方的路。他说，“这可能支持了它们回家能力是一种后天习得行为的理论。”凯勒说，它们可能不知道在北方磁场下该做什么，因为“它们从未去过那里”)”可知，鲨鱼在北方磁场下不倾向于任何方向，可能是因为它们从未去过家以北的地方。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段“Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology.(凯勒的研究为尚未完成的鲨鱼生物学拼图增添了重要的一块)”可知，凯勒的研究为理解鲨鱼生物学增添了关键信息。故选C。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy.(一项新的研究表明，一些鲨鱼可以像地图一样读懂地球的磁场，并准确地用它来长距离旅行)”可知，文章主要讲述了研究发现鲨鱼利用地球磁场在海洋中寻路。故选A。 D Libraries are my world. I’ve been a patron (老主顾) all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives (档案馆) in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope. In the spring of 2007, I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season. Yet patrons weren’t looking for Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business. I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B. Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague (折磨) Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months. Then there’s the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and they want to get educated. They can’t afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan. The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope. 51. What changes has the current economic crisis brought to the library? A. It has opened its age-old archives to the general public. B. It has become a center for job and business information. C. It has evolved into a place for business transactions. D. It has been turned into a community center by the government. 52. What does the author say about the Southfield Public Library in the summer of 2007? A. It was overflowing with unusual numbers of visitors. B. It launched a science project series for teenagers. C. It added many books on business to its collection. D. It was full of people seeking information on drugs. 53. What can be inferred from people’s strong interest in the library’s business collection? A. They think it is now time to realize their dreams. B. They want to tide themselves over the crisis. C. They consider it a trend to start their own business. D. They are concerned about the worsening economy. 54. Why were there no more job resources on display by the end of the day? A The library staff could not do the restocking quickly enough. B. People competed with each other for the jobs listed in the ads. C. People were much interested in the job resources on display. D. All the materials on display were free of charge to the jobless. 55. How did the author feel about working in the library? A. She felt contented to be in a position to provide help. B. She felt pleased to be able to give hope to the jobless. C She felt rewarded to have gained a lot of experience. D. She felt sorry for herself to miss her normal social life. 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. B 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在图书馆工作，见证其在经济危机中角色的转变及自己的感受。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope.(图书馆作为一个机构，有着多种功能和角色，但在我们的国家正艰难地度过经济危机之际，我目睹了我工作的图书馆逐渐发展成为一个职业和商业中心，一个社区聚会场所和一个希望的堡垒)”可知，当前的经济危机使图书馆变成了就业和商业信息的中心。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season.(SPL的夏天通常很冷清，但那一年，我们经历了一个像科技周、期中考试或报税季节一样繁忙的图书馆)”可知，作者说2007年夏天南菲尔德公共图书馆里挤满了不同寻常的访客。故选A。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B.(我把人们对我们商业收藏的兴趣解释为他们追求梦想的第一步，但这些顾客并不是被梦想所激励。他们是在回应现实，他们在寻找B计划)”以及第四段中“Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.(每天晚上图书馆关门时，展台都空空如也。虽然我们通常会把展品展示一周，但这次我们把求职资源展示了好几个月)”可推知，人们对图书馆商业藏书有浓厚兴趣，是因为他们想帮助自己度过危机。故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months.(去年，我们展示了一系列求职资源，并每小时补充一次货源。每天晚上图书馆关门时，展台都空空如也。虽然我们通常会把展品展示一周，但这次我们把求职资源展示了好几个月)”可推知，到了一天结束的时候，展示的求职资源已经没有了是因为人们对展示的求职资源非常感兴趣。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle.(我不得不长时间工作，最近很少见到我的男朋友，也没有任何社交生活，但我很高兴我能帮助人们克服这场斗争)”可推知，作者对在图书馆工作感到满足，因为她能够提供帮助。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 主观题（共35分） 第三部分：写作（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 After a long journey, I finally got to the hospital. Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights, I fidgeted, desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation. I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room, but what happened days ago kept running through my head—the intense pain, the overpowering fear, and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room. I was told I had broken a backbone. I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response: “Do I have to wear a support when I play football?” I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasn’t surprised, or at least I shouldn’t have been, but that didn’t make the order any easier. I refused to accept the idea, and for months I continued to exercise. I worked out from five to six every morning. Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone. I was determined to play again. The fact is that, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After nights of coming home from exercising, barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood that though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place. And by the way, I’m a five-star football coach now. 56. Why did Dr. Pittinger appear “noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad”? (no more than 10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3? (no more than 8 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What did the author do to try to heal his backbone? (no more than10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 59. How did the author transform his setback into success? (no more than10 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 60. How does the story of the author inspire you? Please state in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ___________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Because he had to tell the author the bad news. 57. The author soon accepted the fact. 58. He exercised and wore the support. 59. He became a football coach instead of a player 60. When facing setbacks, accept the reality and seek new chances. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者脊柱受伤后被医生告知再也无法踢足球，作者无法接受，坚持戴着支架锻炼，但情况并没有好转，后来作者接受了这一残酷事实，并意识到自己还有许多其他选择，他现在成了一名五星级足球教练。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He told me that I would never be able to play football again.(他告诉我我再也不能踢足球了。)”可知，医生觉得告诉作者不能踢足球这个消息会让作者难过，所以他自己也显得不舒服、难过。故填Because he had to tell the author the bad news. 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文“I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again.(我等了三个月才知道我是否还能再踢足球，但再等五分钟的想法似乎是不可能的。然后皮廷格医生走了进来。他很友好，但明显不舒服，几乎很悲伤。他告诉我，我再也不能踢足球了。)”以及“The realization sank in immediately.(这个认识立刻被接受了。)”可知，这里的“认识”指的是医生说自己不能再踢足球这件事，所以这句话意思是作者很快接受了不能再踢足球这个事实。故填The author soon accepted the fact. 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone.(尽管我羞于佩戴支具，但我还是虔诚地佩戴着，抱着一些不切实际的希望，认为我佩戴得越多，脊柱愈合得就越快越好。)”以及“I worked out from five to six every morning.(我每天早上五点到六点锻炼。)”可知，作者通过每天锻炼和佩戴支具来尝试治愈脊柱。故填He exercised and wore the support. 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood that though this particular option was no more open to me, I had countless others to make in its place.(与其坚持不可否认的无法实现的事情，我明白虽然这个特定的选择对我来说不再可行，但我还有无数其他的选择。)”以及“And by the way, I’m a five-star football coach now.(顺便说一下，我现在是一名五星级足球教练。)”可知，尽管无法继续踢球，作者最终成为五星级教练，通过转换角色实现成功。故填He became a football coach instead of a player. 【60题详解】 开放性试题，言之有理即可。通读全文可知，作者经历了不能再踢足球的挫折，但是他没有一直沉浸在失败中，而是接受了现实，并且找到了新的职业成为了五星级足球教练，所以他的故事告诉我们当遇到挫折时，要接受现实并寻找新的机会。所以参考答案可以为When facing setbacks, accept the reality and seek new chances. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你校近期举办了“航天科技主题展”（Aerospace Technology Exhibition），通过图片和视频等多种方式，展示了中国航天事业的飞速发展和伟大成就。请你以“Reaching for the Stars”为题，为学校公众号英文栏目写一篇活动报道。 内容提示： （1）主题展的主要内容（天宫空间站建设、月球探测成果、航天工作者贡献等）； （2）师生们对展览活动的反响； （3）你参观展览后的感受。 注意：（1）词数不少于100；（2）可适当增加细节，使行文连贯。 参考词汇：月球探测 lunar exploration；自主创新 independent innovation _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Reaching for the Stars Our school recently held an Aerospace Technology Exhibition, showcasing China’s remarkable achievements in space exploration.

But raising kids takes money and energy, many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest and often unspoken fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream. Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that, young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps to keep up his energy.” My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.” Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school.” Says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one. “that they will not be alive long enough to support and protect their child, ” she says. Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.” 41. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child raising? A. Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B. Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C. Older parents are often better prepared financially. D. Older parents can take better care of their children. 42. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream”？ A. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age. B. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years. C. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of. D. They are unwilling to retire when they reach their retirement age. 43. The author gives the examples of Henry Metcalf to show that______. A. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age B. taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy C. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies D. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children 44. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst? A. Being laughed at by other people B. Slowing down of their pace of life C. Being mistaken for grandparents D. Approaching of death 45. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen? A. They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment. B. Not until they had the twins did they feel had formed a family. C. They believe that children born of older parents would be smarter. D. Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children. C Most taxi drivers need a smartphone to get to their destinations. But sharks, it seems, need nothing more than their own bodies — and Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field. A new study suggests some sharks can read Earth’s field like a map and use it to travel long distances with accuracy. Since the 1970s, researchers have suspected that some fish can detect magnetic fields. But no one had shown that sharks use the fields to find their location or navigate (导航), partly because the animals aren’t so easy to work with. It’s one thing if you have a small fish, or a baby sea turtle, but when you work with sharks, you have to upscale everything. Bryan Keller, an ecologist at Florida State University, and his colleagues decided to do just that. They lined a bedroom-size cage with wire and placed a small swimming pool in the center of the cage. By running an electrical current through the wiring, they could generate a custom magnetic field in the center of the pool. The team then collected 20 young bonnet — head sharks — a species known to migrate hundreds of kilometers — off the Florida coast. They placed the sharks into the pool, one at a time, and let them swim freely under three different magnetic fields, applied in random succession. One field mimicked (模仿) Earth’s natural field at the spot where the sharks were collected, while the others mimicked the fields at locations 600 kilometers north and 600 kilometers south of their homes. They used software to track the sharks’ responses, observing which direction in the tank they were trying to swim towards. When the young sharks were exposed to the magnetic field of the place they were captured, or ‘home’, they stayed put. But when subjected to the southern magnetic field, the sharks persistently changed their headings to swim north, as if tying to get back home. This suggests that the sharks were using the magnetic field to guide them, similar to how humans use GPS. Surprisingly, the researchers found that the sharks didn’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern field. Keller says this might be because they don’t go north of their home location since there is only land there, and so they rarely have to find their way back south again. “This could support the theory that their ability to go back home is a learned behavior,” he says. They might not know what to do in the northern field because “they’ve never been up there.” says Keller. Keller’s research adds a significant piece to the still-incomplete puzzle of shark biology. Sharks have been declining at an alarming rate due to mostly overfishing and habitat change. Studying the life cycles and migration patterns of sharks can help us understand what areas to protect when managing marine spaces. 46. The comparison between taxi drivers and sharks in the first paragraph serves to ________. A. highlight the simplicity of sharks’ navigation ability B. criticize the dependence of human beings on technology C. introduce the topic with a familiar everyday situation D. claim sharks’ abilities surpass human inventions 47. Why is it difficult for researchers to prove that sharks can read Earth’s magnetic field? A. Because it’s too hard to follow and observe sharks in nature. B. Because sharks are fierce and unfriendly to human beings. C. Because sharks are difficult to study in a laboratory setting. D. Because most sharks are on the list of endangered species. 48. According to Keller, what might be the reason why sharks don’t favor any direction when swimming under the northern magnetic field? A. They don’t like the climate in the north. B. They’ve never been to the north of their home before. C. They learned to do so when they were young. D. The northern magnetic field was not strong enough. 49. From the passage, we can infer that Keller’s research is significant because it ________. A. provides a new approach to studying sharks in the ocean. B. supports the idea that sharks’ migration patters are random. C. adds crucial information to our understanding of shark biology. D. suggests that sharks should be protected from overfishing. 50. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field to find their way on seas. B. Researchers discovered a new way to study sharks in labs. C. Shark populations are declining due to habitat change. D. Sharks have a learned behavior of returning to their home. D Libraries are my world. I’ve been a patron (老主顾) all my life, and for the past nine years I’ve worked at multiple libraries and archives (档案馆) in and around Detroit. The library as an institution has many roles, but as our country struggles through an economic crisis, I have watched the library where I work evolve into a career and business center, a community gathering place and a bastion (堡垒) of hope. In the spring of 2007, I got a library internship at the Southfield Public Library (SPL), just north of Detroit. Summers at SPL were usually slow, but that year, we experienced a library that was as busy as science-fair project week, midterms or tax season. Yet patrons weren’t looking for Mosby’s Nursing Drug Reference or tax return forms. They were coming for information on growing their small business. I interpreted people’s interest in our business collection as the first step to pursuing their dreams, but these patrons were not motivated by dreams. They were responding to reality, and they were looking for Plan B. Things worsened in 2008, and in 2009 the economic crisis continues to plague (折磨) Michigan. Last year, we put up a display with a variety of job resources that we restocked (补充货源) every hour. Each night when the library closed, the display was bare. While we normally keep displays up for a week, we kept the job resources display up for months. Then there’s the tightening credit market. People see the writing on the wall and they want to get educated. They can’t afford a financial adviser, but checking books out is free. Some of the most popular titles now are Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and Suze Orman’s 2009 Action Plan. The economic downturn affects us all. I have had to work long hours and don’t get to see much of my boyfriend or experience any kind of social life lately, but I am thankful to be in a position where I can help people overcome this struggle. In Michigan, we haven’t lost hope. As long as there are libraries here, there will always be hope. 51. What changes has the current economic crisis brought to the library? A. It has opened its age-old archives to the general public. B. It has become a center for job and business information. C. It has evolved into a place for business transactions. D. It has been turned into a community center by the government. 52. What does the author say about the Southfield Public Library in the summer of 2007? A. It was overflowing with unusual numbers of visitors. B. It launched a science project series for teenagers. C. It added many books on business to its collection. D. It was full of people seeking information on drugs. 53. What can be inferred from people’s strong interest in the library’s business collection? A. They think it is now time to realize their dreams. B. They want to tide themselves over the crisis. C. They consider it a trend to start their own business. D. They are concerned about the worsening economy. 54. Why were there no more job resources on display by the end of the day? A The library staff could not do the restocking quickly enough. B. People competed with each other for the jobs listed in the ads. C. People were much interested in the job resources on display. D. All the materials on display were free of charge to the jobless. 55. How did the author feel about working in the library? A. She felt contented to be in a position to provide help. B. She felt pleased to be able to give hope to the jobless. C. She felt rewarded to have gained a lot of experience. D. She felt sorry for herself to miss her normal social life. 第Ⅱ卷 主观题（共35分） 第三部分：写作（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题 After a long journey, I finally got to the hospital. Lying on the examination table while facing the painfully bright ceiling lights, I fidgeted, desperately trying to ignore the upsetting part of the situation. I attempted to focus on staying warm in the cold room, but what happened days ago kept running through my head—the intense pain, the overpowering fear, and the panicky steps in the Emergency Room. I was told I had broken a backbone. I now smiled recalling the innocence of my response: “Do I have to wear a support when I play football?” I had waited for three months to find out whether I could play football again, but the thought of waiting another five minutes seemed impossible. Then Dr. Pittinger entered. He was friendly, but noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad. He told me that I would never be able to play football again. The realization sank in immediately. I wasn’t surprised, or at least I shouldn’t have been, but that didn’t make the order any easier. I refused to accept the idea, and for months I continued to exercise. I worked out from five to six every morning. Though I was ashamed to wear the support, I wore it devotedly, with some false hope that the more I wore it, the quicker and better it would heal the backbone. I was determined to play again. The fact is that, just as the doctor ordered, I never played another quarter of football. After nights of coming home from exercising, barely able to walk, I finally gave in. For a while, giving up felt like an admitting of defeat rather than the acceptance of a truth that should have been painfully obvious, but over time, I realized like most difficult decisions I have made and will have to make, life would go on. Rather than stick to the undeniably unattainable, I understood that though this particular option was no longer open to me, I had countless others to make in its place. And by the way, I’m a five-star football coach now. 56. Why did Dr. Pittinger appear “noticeably uncomfortable, almost sad”?
