A. must make B. should make C. must have made D. should have made 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词+have done用法。句意：学生们正确地回答了所有的问题。她一定做了充分的准备。A. must make必须做；B. should make应该做；C. must have made一定做了；D. should have made本应该（却没有）。根据上文“The students answered all the questions correctly.”可知，已经正确回答了所有问题，所以是must have done表示对过去发生的事情的肯定推测，故选C。 13.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了在大学宿舍里学生应该遵守的规章制度。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据Approved and Forbidden Items中“The following items are approved for use in residential (住宿的) rooms: electric blankets, hair dryers, personal computers, radios, televisions and DVD players. (下列物品获准在宿舍房间使用：电热毯、吹风机、个人电脑、收音机、电视机和DVD播放机)”可知，电视机和电热毯属于宿舍房间内可以使用的物品。故选D项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据Access to Residential Rooms中“The Office of Residence Life may change the door lock combination at any time at the expense of the resident if it is found that the student has shared the combination with others. (住宿生活处如发现学生与他人共享门锁密码，可随时更换密码，费用由住客承担)”可知，如果学生被发现与他人共享门锁密码，那么该密码将会被更换。故选A项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据Cooking Policy中“With the exception of using a small microwave oven (微波炉) to heat food, students are not permitted to cook in their rooms. (除了使用小型微波炉加热食物外，学生不允许在自己的房间里做饭)”可知，学生可使用微波炉加热食物。故选A项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据Quiet Hours中“Quiet hours on Friday and Saturday nights are 1:00 am to 8:00 am. (星期五和星期六晚上的安静时间是上午1点至8点)”可知，星期六0点到1点之间学生不用遵守晚间安静时间的规定，因此凌晨0:30可以在宿舍享受聚会。故选D项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章标题“University Room Regulations (大学宿舍规则)”可知，文章从批准及禁止物品、进入住宿房间的权限、烹饪规则以及安静时间四个方面，介绍了在大学宿舍里学生应该遵守的规章制度。由此推知，文章应该是出自大学手册，告知学生宿舍生活的管理规则。故选B项。 B “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 41. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 42. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 43. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D. The effectiveness of holistic medicine. 44. Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association? A. To prove Farber’s point. B. To emphasize its importance. C. To praise veterinarians. D. To advocate animal protection. 45. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The history of holistic medicine in America. B. The differences between Western and holistic treatments. C. A veterinarian who uses holistic medicine to treat animals. D. The difficulties Dr. Farber faces with his unusual methods. 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一位名叫William Farber的兽医，他采用整体医学方法治疗动物，结合了传统西医和针灸、按摩疗法以及草药医学，并通过具体例子展示了整体医学对动物的治疗效果，以及整体医学在美国兽医界的发展趋势。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.(如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(Leigh Tindale的狗 Charlie 患有严重的心脏病。Tindale说，Charlie心脏病发作后，她原本准备让它安乐死，但 Farber的治疗大大减轻了狗的痛苦，使她能够让它多活了五个月。Priscilla Dewing则说，她的马 Nappy 在接受脊椎指压治疗后，“行动更轻松，骑乘时也更舒适”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了一位名叫William Farber的兽医，他采用整体医学方法治疗动物，结合了传统西医和针灸、按摩疗法以及草药医学，并通过具体例子展示了整体医学对动物的治疗效果，以及整体医学在美国兽医界的发展趋势。由此可知，文章的主旨是一位用整体医学治疗动物的兽医。故选C。 C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults, we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 46. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 47. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 48. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Be selective information consumers. B. Use diverse information sources. C. Absorb new information readily. D. Protect the information environment. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Adults don’t need to learn from the marshmallow test anymore B. The information environment now is similar to the past in terms of richness C. Both food temptation and information temptation come from the mismatch between environment and brain mechanism D. People who resisted marshmallow temptation as kids will never give in to any temptation as adults 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups C. The Marshmallow Test for Children. D. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. A 49. C 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍斯坦福棉花糖测试引出主题，指出成年人在面对信息诱惑时，如同孩子面对棉花糖诱惑一样，需要学会抵制诱惑，合理管理时间和信息摄入。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat.(每个孩子都被告知，如果他们在吃糖果前等待15分钟，他们将得到第二份糖果)”可知，孩子们需要等待15分钟不吃糖果才能得到第二份糖果。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(我们之所以会受到甜食的诱惑，是因为我们的祖先生活在一个卡路里匮乏的世界里，我们的大脑对这些甜食形成了一种反应机制，反映了它们的价值——一种奖励和满足感。但是，随着我们重塑了周围的世界，大大降低了获取卡路里的成本和努力，我们仍然拥有着几千年前一样的大脑，这种不匹配正是为什么我们中这么多人难以抗拒那些我们知道我们不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”可知，这里的“不匹配”是指如今丰富的食物供应(环境)与我们未改变的大脑(机制)之间的不匹配。故选C项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively.(因此，正如我们需要对我们的热量摄入更加深思熟虑一样，我们也需要对我们的信息摄入更加深思熟虑，抵制精神“垃圾食品”的诱惑，以便最有效地管理我们的时间)”可知，作者建议读者要有选择性地摄入信息。故选A项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat.(我们之所以会受到甜食的诱惑，是因为我们的祖先生活在一个卡路里匮乏的世界里，我们的大脑对这些甜食形成了一种反应机制，反映了它们的价值——一种奖励和满足感。但是，随着我们重塑了周围的世界，大大降低了获取卡路里的成本和努力，我们仍然拥有着几千年前一样的大脑，这种不匹配正是为什么我们中这么多人难以抗拒那些我们知道我们不应该吃的诱人食物的核心原因)”和最后一段中“A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized new information.(在我们的信息反应中也存在类似的过程。我们作为一个物种的形成环境是信息匮乏的，所以我们的大脑发展出了一种重视新信息的机制)”可知，食物诱惑和信息诱惑都来自于环境与大脑机制之间的不匹配。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开头介绍经典的儿童棉花糖实验，第二段“As adults, we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. (作为成年人，我们每天都面临着一个版本的棉花糖测试)”笔锋一转，提出成年人面对的诱惑是来自电子设备的信息。随后第三、四段将食物诱惑与信息诱惑进行类比，分析其共同的生理心理机制(环境剧变与大脑机制的不匹配)，并建议成年人需要有意识地控制信息消费。全文的核心是将儿童棉花糖实验的启示延伸至成年人的信息诱惑世界。因此，B项“The Marshmallow Test for Grownups(给成年人的棉花糖测试)”贴切地概括了文章主旨，适合作文章标题。故选B项。 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 54. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 55. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】51. By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine 52. She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 53. She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 54. Stay/Remain/Live/Hide 55. Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过克拉拉所提出的“好奇号”被选为火星探测器的名字。告诉人们好奇心的重要性。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye.”我早早地完成了作业，拿起了儿童时代杂志。一条消息吸引了我的眼球。由此可知，克拉拉是通过童时代杂志得到征文比赛的消息的。故答案为：By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine. 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.”可知，2012年8月5日晚上10点31分，名为“好奇”号的火星车安全降落在火星表面，我很荣幸能在美国宇航局获得前排座位。由此可知，为什么克拉拉在美国宇航局获得前排座位是因为她在美国宇航局举办的论文竞赛中获胜。故答案为：She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars”可知，我记得当我还是个小女孩的时候，我和祖母会在后院一起坐上几个小时。她会给我讲故事并指出星星。故答案为：She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 【54题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。所以我们人类不能老呆在一个地方。故答案为：Stay/Remain/Live/Hide. 【55题详解】 开放性试题。根据最后一段“People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，人们经常问我为什么要去火星这样遥远的地方。我的答案很简单，因为我们都很好奇。我们人类不会躲在一个地方。我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。由此判断出，为什么好奇心是如此的重要是因为怀着好奇心，我们不断地问问题，探索未知的世界。故答案为：Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 六、书面表达（15分） 56. 假设你是中学生李华，你的英国朋友Chris在最近的一封邮件中提到，他想改掉每天长时间玩网络游戏的习惯，做更好的自己。请按以下提示写封回信： (1)你也打算改掉的一个习惯(或缺点，不足)； (2)它给你的学习或生活带来的影响； (3)你的计划和决心。 注意： (1)词数不少于 80字； (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 Dear Chris， ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Chirs, I am delighted to receive your email and know that you want to overcome the addiction to computer games.

B “I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine — combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine. Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets. Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment. Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.” 41. What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him? A. He’s odd. B. He’s strict. C. He’s brave. D. He’s rude. 42. Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets? A. He was trained in it at university. B. He was inspired by another veterinarian. C. He benefited from it as a patient. D. He wanted to save money for pet owners. 43. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B. The complexity of veterinarians’ work. C. Examples of rare animal diseases. D.

C The Stanford marshmallow (棉花糖) test was originally conducted by psychologist Walter Mischel in the late 1960s. Children aged four to six at a nursery school were placed in a room. A single sugary treat, selected by the child, was placed on a table. Each child was told if they waited for 15 minutes before eating the treat, they would be given a second treat. Then they were left alone in the room. Follow-up studies with the children later in life showed a connection between an ability to wait long enough to obtain a second treat and various forms of success. As adults, we face a version of the marshmallow test every day. We’re not tempted (诱惑) by sugary treats, but by our computers, phones, and tablets — all the devices that connect us to the global delivery system for various types of information that do to us what marshmallows do to preschoolers. We are tempted by sugary treats because our ancestors lived in a calorie-poor world, and our brains developed a response mechanism to these treats that reflected their value — a feeling of reward and satisfaction. But as we’ve reshaped the world around us, dramatically reducing the cost and effort involved in obtaining calories, we still have the same brains we had thousands of years ago, and this mismatch is at the heart of why so many of us struggle to resist tempting foods that we know we shouldn’t eat. A similar process is at work in our response to information. Our formative environment as a species was information-poor, so our brains developed a mechanism that prized (高度重视) new information. But global connectivity has greatly changed our information environment. We are now endlessly bombarded (轰炸) with new information. Therefore, just as we need to be more thoughtful about our caloric consumption, we also need to be more thoughtful about our information consumption, resisting the temptation of the mental “junk food” in order to manage our time most effectively. 46. What did the children need to do to get a second treat in Mischel’s test? A. Take an examination alone. B. Show respect for the researchers. C. Share their treats with others. D. Delay eating for fifteen minutes. 47. According to paragraph 3, there is a mismatch between ______. A. the calorie-poor world and our good appetites B. the shortage of sugar and our nutritional needs C. the rich food supply and our unchanged brains D. the tempting foods and our efforts to keep fit 48. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Be selective information consumers. B. Use diverse information sources. C. Absorb new information readily. D. Protect the information environment. 49. What can we learn from the passage? A. Adults don’t need to learn from the marshmallow test anymore B. The information environment now is similar to the past in terms of richness C. Both food temptation and information temptation come from the mismatch between environment and brain mechanism D. People who resisted marshmallow temptation as kids will never give in to any temptation as adults 50. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Eat Less, Read More B. The Marshmallow Test for Grownups C. The Marshmallow Test for Children. D. The Bitter Truth about Early Humans 五、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My name is Clara. I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 51. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 52.
