第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分
A
Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a necessary part of the learning process. But all too often we convey to our children either by words or by actions that failure is something to be ashamed of, that nothing but top performance meets our approval(赞许).
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played excitedly. He seldom answered questions — he might be wrong. He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to be sure he hadn’t made a mistake.
I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and sheThen one morning we were working math problems. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and filled in answers for the first row. Pleased with his progress, I left he children with Mary. But when I returned. Donnie was in tears. He’d missed the third problem.
Mary looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a canister(小筒)filled with pencils.
“Look, Donnie,” she said. “I’ve got something to show you.” She removed the pencils and placed them on his desk. “See these pencils, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to Mrs. Lindstrom and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes too. Lots of them. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you must learn to do, too.”
She kissed him and continued: “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk so you’ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and just a glimmer(少许)of a smile.
The Pencil became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Anne’s frequent encouragement and praise for even Donnie’s small successes. gradually persuaded him that it’s all right to make mistakes — as long as you erase them and try again.
21. Why did Donnie rarely finish his work?
A. Because he seldom answered those difficult questions
B. Because he spent too much time checking his answers
C. Because he couldn’t work together with his classmates
D. Because he never did his work until the very last minute
22. The word “baffled” in Paragraph 3 most probably means .
A. encouraged B. impressed C. satisfied D. confused
23. Which of the following words best describe Mary Anne as she is shown in the article?
A. Patient and inspiring B. Creative and modest
C. Determined and strict D. Considerate and proud
24. The story was written mainly to .
A. tell us who influenced Donnie greatly B. sing the praises of Mary Anne
C. give a life lesson about failure D. show us how to use erasers
B
Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer?
People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have life spans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.
Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)from developing. To be precise. They found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53 in elephants. Most other species. Humans included, only carry one copy.
According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells(细胞)quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can to on to form deadly tumors.
“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long life spans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.
This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox”. Evolutionary biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller do not, In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.
The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.
“It’s up to us to learn how different animals tackle(对付)the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”
25. Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?
A. They have a large body size
B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage
C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors
D. They carry many genes that keep tumors form developing
26. According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?
A. Extreme weather B. Human behavior
C. A risk of deadly tumors D. Cells killing themselves
27. What does the underlined expression “this phenomenon” on the sixth paragraph refer to?
A. Larger animals have protection from TP53
B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size
C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have
D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do
28. We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that .
A. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice
B. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer
C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones
D. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future
C
Brawn Nelson knew he wanted to be a doctor at 8 after he acted as a doctor on a primary school career day.

He participated in the Health Careers Outreach Program that aims to help poor minority students to get close to the medical field.
At middle school, he attended classes taught by medical students from Florida Atlantic University. He dissected(解剖)rats, comparing their organs to those found in humans.
As a high schooler, he worked on the same cadavers(医用尸体)as the medical students. He also visited the university’s lab and practiced treating patients using high-tech models.
Experiences like those and make all the difference for students an they work toward medical school, said Nirmala Prakash, head of the program.
“This is not a pipe Dream where they’re trying to imagine it, ” she said. “This is something they’ve lived.”

Getting more followers is something we usually associate with social media or micro messaging apps, But soon we could all have a new type of follower-a robotic one.
Dozens of robots and technology fans gathered in Boston, US, earlier this month for the RoboBusiness conference. The latest developments in the world of robotics were shown to the public and this time the trend was robots following people.
Perhaps the most exciting development on show was the ability of drones(无人机)to follow you from the air, acting as your own personal cameraman or photographer. One example is 3-D Robotics’ Iris+ drone, developed by a US-based company.
The drone is fitted with cameras and has a “follow me” function. It connects with your GPS-enabled Android device(设备), like a mobile phone. Then it flies and follows you around, shooting action footage(影片)of you from above. The soft-ware in the drone makes sure that you’re always in the center of the frame.
It can keep working for 15 minutes, as long as there aren’t too many trees for it to crash into. This could be exciting for anyone who loves action sports or wants to be the star of their own short film.
But what if you want to be one of those celebrities who have helpers carrying all their bags and doing all their chores? A robot called Budgee can help.
Budgee, made by 5 Elements Robotics. Is literally a basket on wheels. It is designed to help elderly and disabled people, or simply anyone who doesn’t have enough arms for grocery bage, Wired magazine reported. It can carry up to 22.7 kg of items.
To make Budgee follow them, its owner will have to wear a small device and use an app to set the distance between themselves and the robot. Budgee even sends a text message when it can’t keep up with its owner.
“I want you to look at the robot like he’s your buddy, he’s yourIt might not be quite the same as robotic assistants we’ve seen in movies such as Disney’s Wall-E，where robots cater for (满足)our every need，but that idea doesn’t seem quite so far-fetched(不着边际的)now.
33. The drone developed by a US-based company can .
A. decide who to put in the center of the frame
B. fly around you and take videos from above
C. be used to take pictures and make phone calls
D. keep working for 15 minutes in any conditions
34. According to the article，Budgee is most likely to be targeted at .
A. staff in supermarkets B. elderly and disabled people
C. those who love action sports D. celebrities who need a close buddy
35. The main purpose of the article is to .
A. urge people to buy the drone and Budgee
B. tell the reader about two new types of robots
C. call on people to develop relationships with robots
D. analyze why the two types of robots can lead a trend

As children，we grow up thinking that our parents are heroes and perfect，but as time goes on we come to realize that they are just as human as we are. However，a change in your knowledge of your father doesn’t have to be the end of your strong connection to him.

I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.
I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in zxx.k and out of the and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?
Newman wanted it. studio powers didn’t like his agent.
wasn’t famous enough. director recommended someone else.
did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
were of the same dge. worked in the same theater.
were both good actors. han similar charactertics.
does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
r belief. r care for chileden.
r success. r support for each other.
is the author’s purpose in writing the test?
show his love of films. remember a friend.
introduce a new movie. share his acting experience.

Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats， four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279, it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find redatively easy to meet.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars.
C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.
29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive. D. It bums too much fuel.
30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A. Cautious B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s Fist Flight
ts’Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
When a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked ’s a plant’s way of crying is anyone listening?Apuse we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects others do double duty pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the they arrive,the tables are turned attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.
32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A. It makes noises. B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly D. It sends out certain chemicals.
33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?
A. The attackers get attacked.
B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back.
D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
ntists find from their studies that plants can .
ict natural disasters ect themselves against insects
to one another intentionally their neighbors when necessary
can we infer from the last paragraph?
word is changing faster than ever.
le have stronger senses than before
world is more complex than it seems
le in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.
