Hong kong anti smoking laws have banned smoking in many public places, such as restaurants and shopping walls. In finland, smoking will be banned. More places, including cars, the display of cigarettes and shops, will also be banned. The government said he wanted to ban smoking once and for all. Many other countries, such as canada, have smoking bands, but they're not as strict as hong kong or finland. In some countries, there are separate areas and restaurants and bars where smoking is allowed. However, smoking is harmful to all people, including non smokers. Therefore, smoking does not welcome at all. Fanti smoking laws are being introduced everywhere. Since smoking is associated with many illnesses such as lung cancer as well as heart disease, enforcing smoking bans in public places make those areas safer and cleaner for everyone, particularly children. Banning smoking also means that IT is less acceptable to smoke in public. Therefore, there has generally been a move to ban smoking around the world.

Earlier this year,I had a chance to go to space.I was really excited and made full preparations for it.
Finally,the day arrived.With all the noise,we lifted off.I could see Earth disappearing.As we ascended (上升),I was at once aware of pressure.The force of gravity pulled at me.There was an instrument that told us how many g’s (重力加速度的倍数) we were experiencing.At two g’s,I tried to raise my arm,and I could barely do so.At three g’s,I felt my face being pushed down into my seat.I thought,“Will I pass out? How many g’s can my ninety-year-old body deal with?” Suddenly,no g’s.Weightlessness.We were floating.
We got out of our safety belt and began to float around.And I got to the window as quickly as possible to see what was out there.
I looked down,and I could see the hole that our spaceship had left in the atmosphere.I continued my self-guided tour and turned my head to face the other direction,staring into space.I saw a cold,dark,black emptiness.It was unlike any blackness you can see or feel on Earth.My excitement disappeared,and I felt really down.I turned back toward the light of home.I could see the curvature (曲度) of the Earth,the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky.It was Mother Earth.
The contrast between the coldness of space and the warm nurturing of Earth below filled me with great sadness.In space,I had the strongest feeling ever that Earth is the only home we have.But we were doing many things that threatened our survival on Earth.I know we should devote ourselves to our planet and love all around us.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了90岁的作者今年体验了一次去太空之旅,描述了这次经历的所见所闻所感。
24.How did the author think of gradual changes in g’s?
A.He found he could raise arms easily.
B.He felt his face was pressed against the safety belt.
C.He thought he would pass out because he was too old.
D.He believed he could deal with the gravity for he was strong.
答案:C

25.What did the author see when floating in space?
A.The black hole in space.
B.A cold and white emptiness.
C.Other beautiful planets in space.
D.The outline of the earth with white clouds.

解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I could see the curvature (曲度) of the Earth,the white of the clouds and the blue of the sky.”可知,作者在太空中漂浮时看到了白云环绕的大地轮廓。故选D。

B.The author found the trip very boring.
C.The trip was inconsistent with the author’s expectation.
D.The trip filled the author’s fellows with depression.

27.What can we infer from the author’s trip to space?

Scientists say a mineral found in moon dust suggests Earth’s moon is 40 million years older than scientists had believed.The finding was made by researchers who examined moon rock samples gathered from the moon surface in 1972—the last time humans walked on the moon.The samples were part of a collection of 110 kilograms of dust and rock returned to Earth for scientific study.
The American space agency NASA says the leading theory on how the moon formed involves a huge crash.NASA says a Mars-sized object likely crashed into Earth and released material from both objects,which formed the moon.But the exact timing of when the moon was created has been difficult to identify.A new study based on the 1972 samples suggests the moon formed about 4.46 billion years ago.
The research was led by a team from the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago,Illinois.The study examined small minerals found in the moon dust.The team said these minerals contained Zircon,which is believed to have formed when the moon surface cooled after the crash.Philipp Heck,a researcher from the Field Museum,noted that the huge crash that formed the moon was a major event that changed Earth’s rotational (自转的) speed.He added,“The formation time of the moon is important as only after that Earth became a habitable planet.”
Jennika Greer,the leader of the research,said the finding is “a great example of what the atomic scale can tell us about big-picture questions.” Greer hopes the finding can serve as a basis for answering many questions about the moon.“It’s amazing to know that the rock you’re holding is the oldest bit of the Moon we’ve found so far.” She added,“When you know how old something is,you can better understand what has happened to it in its history.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员通过检查1972年采集的月球岩石样本来估计月球年龄,这一项研究能够帮助人类更好地了解月球的历史。
28.How did researchers estimate the age of the moon?
A.By walking on the surface of the moon recently.
B.By examining the moon rock samples gathered in 1972.
C.By finding a mineral named Zircon on the moon surface.
D.By collecting 110 kilograms of dust and rock on the moon.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。文章第一段可知,研究人员通过检查1972年采集的月球岩石样本来估计月球年龄的。故选B。
29.According to the leading theory,what formed the moon?
A.Space dust from Mars.
B.The crashed objects on earth.
C.Material released after a crash.
D.A series of crashes between Mars and earth.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“NASA says a Mars-sized object likely crashed into Earth and released material from both objects,which formed the moon.”可知,根据主流理论,月球是由碰撞后释放的物质形成的。故选C。
30.What does Jennika Greer think of this new discovery about the moon?
A.It reveals an unknown history.
B.It answers an atomic question.
C.It marks the start of a habitable Earth.
D.It shows a breakthrough in astronomy.
答案:A

Robert Chmielewski has had quadriplegia (四肢瘫痪) since his teens.Sensors implanted (植入) in his brain read his thoughts to control two robotic arms,which helps him to perform daily tasks.Now he can use one robotic arm to control a knife and the other a fork.
Modern technology can reach inside someone’s head and pull out what he is thinking.Maybe he intends to move a robotic arm or type something on a computer screen.Such thought-controlled devices can help people who aren’t able to move or perform different tasks and promote the well-being of the disabled.
Decoding (解码) thought usually requires placing sensors directly on or in someone’s brain.Those implanted sensors can catch the electrical signals passing between the person’s brain cells,or neurons.Such signals carry messages that allow brains to think,feel and control the body.
Using brain implants,researchers have picked up electrical signals in the brain linked to certain words or letters.This has allowed brain implants to transform thoughts into text or speech on a computer.Likewise,brain implants have transformed imagined handwriting into text on a screen.Implanted sensors have even allowed scientists to turn the signals they caught that are associated with a song in someone’s head into real music.
In a recent study,scientists decoded full stories from people’s brains using MRI scans (磁共振成像扫描).This did not require any brain implants.But building the thought decoder did require many hours of brain scans for each person.What’s more,the system only worked on the person whose brain scans helped build it and only when that person was willing to have their mind read.
So devices that might let someone secretly read your mind from across the room are still a long,long way off.Still,it’s clear that mind-reading tech is getting more advanced.As it does,scientists are thinking hard about what it would mean to live in a world where not even the inside of your head is completely private.

How to Succeed in Science
To succeed in science,you need a lot more than luck.In my view,you have to combine intelligence with willingness not to follow conventions when they block your path forward.Thus,these have come to be my rules for success.
· 36
That might sound proud,but the fact is that you must always turn to people who are brighter than yourself.It’s like playing any game.Even as a child,I never wanted to play games with anyone who was as bad as I was.If you win,it gives you no pleasure.And in the game of science or life,the highest goal isn’t simply to win;it’s to win at something really difficult. 37
·Take risks.
38 If you are going to make a huge jump in science,you will very likely be unqualified to succeed by definition.Besides,you even have to be prepared to disbelieve your scientific heroes.This can be more than personally upsetting.
·Never do anything that bores you.
My experience in science is that someone is always telling you to do things,and then leave you alone. 39 In fact,I even find it hard to do well in something I like.
It’s very hard to succeed if you don’t want to be with other scientists—you have to go to key meetings where you find key facts that would have escaped you.And you have to chat with your competitors,even if you find them unpleasant.So my final rule is: 40
A.To make a huge success,a scientist has to be prepared to get into deep trouble.
B.Meet challenges with great courage.
C.Put another way,it’s to go somewhere beyond your ability and come out on top.
D.Be sure you always have someone to save you from a deep mess.
E.I’m not good enough to do well in something I dislike.
F.If you can’t stand to be with your real peers,get out of science.
G.Avoid foolish people.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在科学上取得成功的一些经验和方法。
36.答案:G
解析:空处是段落标题,需统领段落内容,且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“That might sound proud...who was as bad as I was.”可知,本段的建议与和比自己聪明的人相处相关,因此G项中的foolish和后文的brighter相对。故选G。
37.答案:C
解析:前文“And in the game of science or life,the highest goal isn’t simply to win;it’s to win at something really difficult.”解释在科学中获胜的性质,因此C项符合语境,进一步解释获胜的含义,承接前文。故选C。
38.答案:A
解析:空处位于段首,应该引出段落内容。后文“If you are going to...This can be more than personally upsetting.”主要介绍了在科学上获得成功的困难,因此A项点明要有陷入大麻烦的准备,其中的deep trouble呼应后文描述的困难。故选A。
39.答案:E
解析:段落标题“Never do anything that bores you.”建议在科学上避免做让自己厌烦的事情,后文“In fact,I even find it hard to do well in something I like.”分享做好喜欢的事情也有难度的经验,因此E项分享很难做好不喜欢的事情的经验,呼应标题,后文是对选项内容的延伸。故选E。
40.答案:F
解析:前文“It’s very hard to succeed...even if you find them unpleasant.”说明想在科学上取得成功必须和他人相处协作,因此F项点明无法和他人待在一起就应放弃科学,是对前文内容的总结。故选F。

62.答案:curiosity
解析:考查名词。本空与后面的thirst并列作主语,应使用名词curiosity表示“好奇心”。故填curiosity。
63.答案:obviously
解析:考查副词。本空所填词修饰谓语动词,应该用副词obviously“显然,明显地”。故填obviously。
64.答案:for
解析:考查介词。此处model 应与介词for搭配,表示“对于……”。故填for。
65.答案:where
解析:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处前句本身是定语从句,关系代词为which,后句中live是不及物动词,考虑定语从句中缺少地点状语,应使用关系副词where。故填where。

Dear Adam,
I am glad to know that you are planning to set up an optional English course,so I’d like to recommend an English Audio-Visual Course.
It’s necessary for different activities,such as listening to English songs,dubbing classic movies,enjoying TV series,to be included in the course,which equips students with basic listening and speaking skills.All these activities will be popular among students.They can not only provide us with a rich language learning experience,but also help us develop critical thinking and enhance our communication skills.
That’s why I suggest such a course.I would appreciate it if you could consider my suggestion.
Yours,
Li Hua

Jenny lived in a small village.When she was a child,what she liked to do most was watch the blue sky and enjoy birds flying freely in the sky.She always imagined that some day she could also fly in the sky like a bird.
When Jenny was in the fourth grade,one day,her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up.She poured her heart into her report and wrote that she dreamed to become an airline pilot in the future.She thought that she did a great job because she expressed her real idea successfully.However,to her surprise,her paper came back with an “F” on it.The teacher told her it was nothing but a “fairy tale”,which could never become true.Jenny felt completely disappointed and sad.In her heart,she didn’t want to accept that a girl couldn’t become a pilot.But as the years went by,Jenny was beaten down by the discouragement again and again from people around her.“Girls can’t become airline pilots;never have,never will.You’re crazy.” Finally,Jenny gave up her dream.
However,when Jenny studied in her senior year of high school,she met an English teacher called Marsha,who was a strict teacher with high standards but very kind.She often inspired her students to do something meaningful in the future.One day,Mrs.Marsha asked all the students to think about the question: “What will you do in the future?” At that time,Jenny hesitated for a while.She was worried that she would be laughed at again.But soon she felt a rush of the old enthusiasm,and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream of becoming a pilot right away.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The next day,Marsha came into the classroom with a bright smile on her face.____

[参考范文]
The next day,Marsha came into the classroom with a bright smile on her face.She praised all the students for what they had finished including Jenny.Mrs.Marsha told Jenny that her dream was wonderful and she was sure that Jenny would have the abilities and talents to make it come true if she tried her best.Besides,she also encouraged Jenny to keep on trying without worrying about others’ opinions.Hearing the words,Jenny felt a relief from her heart and made up her mind to study hard to realize her dream.
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared.Encouraged and full of passion,Jenny began to pursue her dream with all her effort.In the following ten years,she studied hard and never gave up even when she was faced with all kinds of difficulties.Eventually,Jenny became a pilot of a famous airline company,realizing her dream of flying in the sky like a bird.All of us may meet different difficulties on our way to success,but if we keep on trying without giving up,we will make it come true.
