The
tiger shark 7 (consider) to be one of the most
dangerous sharks in the world. Why are tiger
sharks so
dangerous? First, they like to live
8 waters where humans usually swim, so the chances

(遭遇) are much greater. Second,
tiger sharks are so strong and aggressive that
they can 9 (easy) hit a
person. And third,
tiger sharks have teeth perfectly 10 (design) for
cutting their food, so it is certain that
the
damage will be disastrous.

Afel was only a very small boy when
he first saw snow in a picture book. It had lots
of pictures of
children 11 inbig white fields.
He asked, “Mum, what are those white fields?” His
mother laughed,
“That’s snow, and they are
making a snowman!” She tried to 12 what snow
was. Afel didn’t really
13 because there was
no real snow where he lived. But he showed great
14.
One day when he was 12, Afel was watching
a programme on TV at his uncle’s house. The
programme
was full of snow. And not only
snow—there were people 15 across the snow. They
looked like fantastic
birds. They had hats
covering all their heads and big goggles over
their eyes. And on their feet, they had
16
shoes.
“What are those?” he asked his uncle
17 .“Skis,” replied his uncle. “And those people
are called
skiers.” At that moment, he 18 to
be a skier. He asked his uncle what the programme
was. “The Winter
Olympics,” said his uncle.
“It’s like the normal Olympics, but for 19 where
you need snow—ski jumping,
bobsleigh (长橇),
those sorts of things. They 20 it every four
years.”
Afel found out that the next Winter
Olympics would be in Beijing, in 2022. “Perfect,”
he thought.
“Enough 21 for me to become a
brilliant skier.”
“But there’s no snow here!”
people told him. “Where are you going to ski?”Afel
22 them. He made
himself a pair of skis from
two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and
practised skiing 23 two
sticks in his hands.
He practised again and again until he could 24
quite quickly across the sand. He
25 to fly
down the hills like the people on TV, but he
couldn’t.
“Never mind,” he thought. “It’s a
26 …”
“How will you go to the Olympics?”
people asked him. “Our country doesn’t 27 have a
team that goes to
the Winter Olympics. We have
good runners and win lots of medals at the
Olympics. But no skiing,
no.”Afel didn’t 28
.
So every night, out in the middle of the
desert, Afel now practises skiing down sandhills.
He 29 that
the yellow sand and brown earth
are as gold as the medal
he will bring home
with him, when he is the 30 .

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D
四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂
黑。
A
If you’re looking to buy a gift for
your children, why not keep up with the trend and
get the best
hoverboard?
What is a
Hoverboard?
A hoverboard is a two-wheeled
personal transportation device. It’s electrical,
portable
and became highly popular in 2015 in
reference to a popular 1980’s movie. Typically,
this self-balancing device operates like a
powered skateboard.
How Does a Hoverboard
Work?
The device may have many designs, but
the mechanism itself isn’t complicated. Basically,
a standard
hoverboard contains:
•
-Battery: stores the electrical power. Almost all
hoverboards use a high-watt lithium-ion battery.
• -Gyroscope (one for each wheel): allows
riders to tilt (倾斜) the hoverboard while
maintaining
balance and adjusting their
direction.
• -Motor (one in each wheel):
provides the power to the wheels to keep the rider
balanced and upright.
• -Logic board:
functions as the hoverboard brain. It processes
data—your speed, tilt, etc.—and sends
information to the motors. This unit controls
the power of the board so riders can adjust their
speed.
All the above components work together
to control the power and tilt of the hoverboards
so the rider is
balanced, upright and moving
at a controlled speed.
Why Buy a Hoverboard?
Undoubtedly, hoverboards are cool. You’ve
probably seen kids riding one around the house.
They’re a
phenomenon and everybody wants in.
So, why deny your kids and prevent them from being
part of this
trend?
Where is a hoverboard
legal?
Despite their wild popularity,
hoverboards have yet to become “street-legal”.
Currently, some places
prohibit anyone under
16 from using these devices, and hoverboards are
banned in academic institutions
and public
places, like campus buildings, parks, shopping
malls and subway stations. Some places have
also put speed limits on the devices and
restricted their use to bike paths. However, open
areas—including your yard—are free of these
restrictions.
31. The logic board of a
hoverboard can ______.
A．store electricity
B．power the wheels
C．send informationto the
riders D．receive dataand give command
32. According to thepassage, a hoverboard can
be used______.
A．on campus B．in parks
C．on bike paths D．in shopping malls
33. What
is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To
evaluate a gift’squality. B．To
recommend a gift choice.
C．To compare new
hoverboard models. D．To clarifyfunctions ofthe
latest hoverboards.
B
Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let
labels define what she could be. “I was ablack
girl, from a
refugee(难民) family,” Deka said.
“It was as if I was only allowed to explore in
this predetermined box.”
After a high school
chemistry class inspired her to think about a
career in science and gave her confidence
in
the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and
began making big plans for her future. Now she is
about to begin her freshman year at the
University of California, planning to become a
professor.
Born and raised in San Diego’s
City Heights neighbourhood, Deka is the daughter
of a Somali
refugeecouple. While some might
say Deka’s success happened in spite of her
background, she would say
differently, that
her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be
the driven, young scientist that she is
today.
When Deka was eightyears old,her
mother got a job by studying hard back in school
in order to
support the whole madeDekarealize
that education could make a difference to one’s
spent a lot of time in the library reading
books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers
did, like
partying or having romantic
relationships.
“I always felt like I had
to be the perfect girl for my family,”Deka said.
“You have tonot even do
your best but two
times better than everyone else. I felt like the
whole world was waiting for me to mess
up.”
Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before
her senior year of high school, she was accepted
to the
American Chemical Society Project SEED
Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and
focus,”
Botham, a researcher at this research
institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready
to work, ready to
learn and ready to tackle
new challenges regardless of whether or not she
had done anything similar.”
When asked what
advice she would give to others like her, Deka
warned them not to underestimate
themselves.
“Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big
or this programme is too competitive or I’ll
never get into this school, ”she said. “I was
not sure whether I could make it until I started
seeing the
acceptance letters rolling in.”
34．From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. Deka was adopted by a refugee family B.
Deka spent a lot of time going to parties
C.
Deka became a professor after graduation D.
Deka’s experiences drove her to work hard
35．Deka realized the importance of
education______.
A. from her mother’s
experience B. after her chemistry class
C. by reading books in the library D.
through working at the institute
36．According
to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students
be ______.
A. patient B. confident C.
ambitious D. generous
37．What does the story
intend to tell us?
A. Life is not all roses.
B. Practice makes perfect.
begun is half
done. D. Hardwork leads to success.
C
A group of blue-faced birds step through the
grass shoulder to shoulder,
red eyes looking
around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a
cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re
not so different.
Anew study, led by Damien
Farine, an ornithologist who studies
collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine
guineafowl of eastern
Africa, like
humans, have multilevel societies. In the past,
scientists assumed such social structures
required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-
brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in
that assumption.
These large birds wander
across the landscape in packs, often walking so
closely that their bodies touch.
They may
fight each other to maintain their strict
hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage
in friendly behaviours like sharing food.
Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social
structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a
thorough
study of their society. For a whole
year, they made daily observations of 441 birds.
Coloured leg bands in
unique combinations let
researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart.
They also attached GPS devices to
the backs of
58 birds, which let them see exactly where every
group went, 24 hours a day.
The findings of
the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl
have a multilevel society. There are
groups
within groups within the population as a whole.
There even seem to be groups of friends within
the small groups. This is the first time
anyone has observed such a society in a bird.
And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular
bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have
small brains
relative to mammals (哺乳动物), they
also have quite small brains relative to other
birds,” he said.
According to him, living in
this kind of society might actually make it easier
to keep track of the social
order. For
example, if groups are stable and a bird can
identify just one or two individuals within a
group,
it knows which group it’s looking at—no
need for a brain that can recognize every single
animal.
Multilevel societies also let animals
adjust their group sizes based on whatever
challenges they’re facing.
Depending on what
enemies or resources are around, it might make
sense to travel in a combined group
rather
than a smaller one.
“Having a multilevel
structure may not require having a large brain,”
Dr. Farine said. There may be more
birds and
other animals out there that, although small-
brained, have societies as many-leveled as our
own.
38．According to the passage, what
inspired to carry out the study?
A．The
guineafowl’s social behaviour.
B．Previousassumptions about birds.
C．His
interest in animal brainpower. D．The faults
in earlier research.
39．What isParagraph 4
mainly about?
A．The research subjects.
B．The research methods.
C．The research
findings. D．The research equipment.
40．What can be learned from the passage?
A．Complex social systems can be a disadvantage
to the guineafowl.
B．The guineafowl are good
at recognizing individuals in a group.
C．Birds
maintain social order by travelling in combined
groups.
D．Small-brained animals can
form multilevel societies.
41．What is the main
purpose of the passage?
A．To present the
findings of a study of the guineafowl.
B．To
explain the interaction patterns in multilevel
societies.
C．To introduce a new approach to
observing the guineafowl.
D．To uncover clues
about how complex societies are formed.
D
For several decades, there has been an
extensive and organized campaign intended to
generate distrust
in science, funded by those
whose interests and ideologies are threatened by
the findings of modern
science. In response,
scientists have tended to stress the success of
science. After all, scientists have been
right
about most things.
Stressing successes
isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not
persuasive. An alternative answer to the
question “Why trust science?” is that
scientists use the so-called scientific method. If
you’ve got a high
school science textbook
lying around, you’ll probably find that answer in
it. But what is typically thought
to be the
scientific method—develop a hypothesis(假设), then
design an experiment to test it—isn’t what
scientists actually do. Science is dynamic:
new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned;
and
sometimes, scientists can be found doing
many different things.
If there is no
identifiable scientific method, then what is the
reason for trust in science? The answer is
how
those claims are evaluated. The common element in
modern science, regardless of the specific field
or the particular methods being used, is the
strict scrutiny(审查)of claims. It’s this tough,
sustained
process that works to make sure
faulty claims are rejected. A scientific claim is
never accepted as true
until it has gone
through a lengthy “peer review” because the
reviewers are experts in the same field who
have both the right and the obligation(责任)to
find faults.
A key aspect of scientific
judgment is that it is done collectively. No claim
gets accepted until it has
been vetted by
dozens, if not hundreds, of heads. In areas that
have been contested, like climate science
and
vaccine safety, it’s thousands. This is why we are
generally justified in not worrying too much if a
single scientist, even a very famous one,
disagrees with the claim. And this is why
diversity in
science—the more people looking
at a claim from different angles—is important.
Does this process ever go wrong? Of course.
Scientists are humans. There is always the
possibility of
revising a claim on the basis
of new evidence. Some people argue that we should
not trust science
because scientists are
“always changing their minds.” While examples of
truly settled science being
overturned are far
fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist.
But the beauty of this scientific process
is that it explains what might
otherwise appear paradoxical (矛盾的): that science
produces both novelty
and stability.
Scientists do change their minds in the face of
new evidence, but this is a strength of science,
not a weakness.
42．How does the author
think of the scientific method?
A. Stable.
sive. able. D. Unrealistic.
43．What does the
underlined word “vetted” in Paragraph 4 probably
mean?
A. Explained. ed. ed. D. Released.
44．According to the passage, the author may
agree that______.
A. it is not persuasive to
reject those faulty claims
B. settled science
tends to be collectively overturned
C. a
leading expert cannot play a decisive role in a
scrutiny
D. diversity in knowledge is the
common element in science
45．Which of the
following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Put Your Faith in Science B. Defend the
Truth in Science
Your Mind to Science D.
Explore A Dynamic Way to Science

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An interview is a discussion with someone
in which you try to get information from them. 46
There are three basic sub-types of interview:
structured interviews, unstructured interviews and
semi-structured interviews. 47 Incidentally,
“respondent” and “informant” are words that are
sometimes
used instead of “interviewee”.
A great deal is provided by this personal contact:
you are another human being, and interviewees will
respond to you, in bodily presence, in an
entirely different way from the way that they
would have reacted
to questionnaires that came
through their letterboxes or to emails. 48 Most
people want to help and
give their opinions,
and they will usually be energized to help by your
physical presence.
If you take the trouble
to schedule a visit, you can be more or less
guaranteed of a response. Most
importantly,
though, you will be able to relate to interviewees
while you are talking to them.49 You
will be
able to watch their behaviour which will give you
important clues about how they feel about a
topic. Because of the primacy of the personal
contact, your appearance and tone are
important—how do
you want to be seen? As “one
of us”? As a person in authority? As an observer?
…Or what? 50 However
you decide to present
yourself, it is good practice of course to try to
put the interviewee at ease before the
interview begins—to talk about the weather,
about your journey, about anything that will break
the ice.
A．This is a ready-made support
for you.
B．Its nature varies with the nature
of the interviews.
C．You will be able to hear
and understand what they are saying.
D．Your
decision should influence the way that you look,
sound and behave.
E．The information may be
facts or opinions or attitudes or any combination
of these.
F．Each involves the interviewer in
fact-to-face contact or telephone contact with
another person.
G．You will be using these
clues to make informed guesses about what the
interviewees might really
mean.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for asking.
I'm glad to tell you about those photos.
Last
Saturday our school organized a “Learning from
Farmers” activity. My classmates and I went to a
farm in northern Beijing. We helped the
farmers pick apples the whole day.
I am very
happy because I worked and helped the farmers. And
I learned for the first time of the difficulty
getting fruits onto the kitchen table.
Yours
