Jack Andraka was 15 when he came up with an idea for a new way to test for pancreatic（胰腺）cancer. When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply. This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages. By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late. Realizing that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages.
The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka. He was still a high school student, and he wanted to create something that no one else had done. But Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers. Only one professor, Dr.Anirban Maitra, responded positively. Dr.Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory.
The next big reward for Andraka's perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This great award is given to young innovators (创新者) who have developed a world-changing idea. Developing the test is likely to take many years, but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve people's lives and maybe save them.
Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator. After all, there were 1,499 other contestants for the Intel award, and all of them had ground-breaking ideas. For Andraka having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage. But the key for Andraka is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better.
24. Why did Andraka decide to develop a test for pancreatic cancer?
A. His friend's encouragement. B. His extensive reading
C. An upsetting experience D. An important test
25. What difficulty did Andraka meet at the beginning of his research?
A. Great need of money to develop a test B. Heavy pressure from his schoolwork.
C. Little access to research equipment. D. Lack of positive replies from experts
26. Which of the following leads to Andraka's award winning?
A. The support from his family B. His passion for discovery.
C. The competition with other contestants. D. His determination to improve the world
27. What can we learn from Andraka's story?
A. Hard work leads to success B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. One good turn deserves another. D. Practice makes perfect.

C
Teens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults, according to research published by an American research center.
“This research suggests that improving students' relationships with teachers could have positive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic(学术的) success," said Jinho Kim, a professor at Korea University and author of the study. " It could also bring about health implications in the long run."
Previous research has suggested that teens' social relationships might be linked to health outcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships and lifetime health is causal (因果的)---it could be that other factors, such as different family backgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence（青春期）and to poor health in adulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens' relationships with their peers （同龄人）, rather than on their relationships with teachers.
To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from the Add Health study, a national study in the U.S. that followed participants from seventh grade into early adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings（兄弟姐妹）. As teens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along with other students and your teachers?" As adults, participants were asked about their physical and mental health.
Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers and teachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s. However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, only the link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.
The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and that schools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships with their students. "This is not something that most teachers receive much training in," Kim said, “but it should be.”
28．What does the underlined word “implications" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Risks. B. Benefits. C. Habits. D. Recipes.
29．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Factors affecting health in adulthood. B. Teens' relationships with their peers.
C. Limitations of the previous research. D. Poor health in adolescence.

30．What does Kim's research show?
A. Good adult health depends on teens' good teachers.
B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.
C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students' academic success.
D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students' adult health.
31．Where does this text probably come from?
A. A medical report.　　　 B. A health magazine.　　 C. A term paper. 　　 D. A family survey.

D
In a country where over 80% of residents live in public housing, a government commitment to sustainable(可持续的) urban design could have huge influence. And when it's a tropical country like Singapore where convenience and air conditioning are a way of life, the impact could be greater still.
Promising 42,000 new homes across five residential districts, the eco-town of Tengah will be the 24th new settlement built by Singapore's government since World War II. It is, however, the first with centralized cooling, automated trash collection and a car-free town center, with which environment lovers hope to offer a roadmap for reducing carbon emissions in the Southeast Asian city-state.
The development is named as "Forest Town" by officials, due to its abundant greenery and public gardens. Once home to brickmaking factories and later used for military training, the 2.7- square-mile site has been reclaimed by a forest in recent years. A 328-foot-wide ecological “corridor" will be maintained through its center, providing safe passage to wildlife and connecting a water catchment area on one side to a nature reserve on the other.
The project has proven a new plan for urban planners supporting green design principles and “smart" technology, according to Chong Fook Loong, group director for research and planning at Singapore's Housing and Development Board, the agency overseeing the country's public housing. “Tengah is a new start," he said in a video interview, explaining that roads and parking are being pushed beneath the town center. " We' re going for the ideal concept of separated traffic, with everything underground and then the ground level totally freed up for pedestrians—for people. So, it's a very safe environment for all.”
“We want a town that allows walking and cycling in a very user-friendly manner,“ he added, saying that cycling has taken off” in Singapore in the “last three to five years especially". The master plan will see the installation （安装）of electric vehicle charging stations.
32. What is special about the 24th new settlement?
A. It can house 42,000 people. B. It will be well equipped.
C. It will be environmentally friendly. D. It will be built by the government.
33. Which of the following might be the design of the forest town?









34. What can we learn from Chong Fook Loong's words?
A. A parking lot will put in the town center. B. All masters will install charging stations.
C. Bikes will be able to fly in the near future. D. Separated traffic will be applied.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Ways to reduce carbon emissions B. Eco 'smart' city of Singapore
C. A green roadmap for Singapore D. A smart electric vehicle technology

第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选山可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Think about how much reading you do every day. When you look at it, you might find that reading is the 
work -related skill that you use most often!  36 After all, if we can read and comprehend textbooks, then aren't 
we good readers?  Maybe not. Given the time that reading consumes, it may be a skill that we can  and should
improve.
37  It means getting faster and more efficient at reading, while still understanding what you're reading. Although you spend a good part of your day reading, have you ever thought about how you read? How do your eyes make sense of the shapes of the letters, and then put those letters together to form sentences that you can
understand?
Reading is quite a complex skill. It was previously believed that during reading, both eyes focus on particular
letters.  38 Scientists now believe that the eyes lock onto different letters at the same time, usually two charactersapart. Your brain then fuses (融合) these images together to form a word. This happens very swiftly, as we look
through pages of the text!
Many people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute. 39 Imagine, then, if you could double your
rate to 500 words per minute, you could read all of this content in half the time. You could then spend the saved 
time on other tasks, or take a few extra minutes to relax.  40  This leads to better “big picture" understanding,
which can greatly benefit your work and career.
A. Recent research shows this isn't the case.
B. Speed-reading has many benefits.
C. It's also a skill that most of us take for granted by the time we reach age 12.
D. You need to practice to improve your reading speed.
E. Another important advantage of speed-reading is that it allows one to better comprehend the overall structure 
of an argument.
F. But what does becoming a better reader involve ?
G. This means that an average page in a book or document takes 1 - 2 minutes to read.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a freezing morning of December, two police officers were patrolling the streets. Suddenly, the walkie-talkie（对讲机）on Alan, one of the officers, rang." The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a theft. Please rush to the scene immediately", said the electronic voice.
The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop, only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes at all. Curiously, they checked the monitor and found that a thin woman broke open the window and climbed into the store at 5：20 a.m. Instead of searching around, she walked straight into the storage room, stole cheese, chocolate, butter and other ingredients for a cake, and then ran away down the road.
Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior. One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara, a single mother who lived nearby. She has an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lives in poverty.
Moments later，the two officers arrived at Clara's house. Bob，another officer pulled out a gun and was about to break in. But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently.
The door opened and out came a very thin woman. From the outline of her figure，Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief. The woman，Clara，immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen. She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor.
At that very moment，a child's voice broke the silence，"Mom，is anyone coming for my birthday？Invite them in，please."
After hearing the boy's words，Clara stood up and begged in a low voice，"Officer，I did steal those things，but there's nothing else I could do. It's my baby's birthday，and I've got neither job nor money. Please don't take those things away. I've just used them to make him a cake."
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Looking into the woman's teary eyes, Alan understood and walked into the house.

Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked, "what about the things she stole?"

How to get along with our parents?
Good morning, everyone!
It is my honor to be here to share with you my opinion on how to get along with our parents.
First, I think we should be grateful to our parents for what they have done for us. It is our beloved parents who bring us into the world and bring us up whole­heartedly. Also, we should show respect for our parents, because our parents truly love us and care for us. They are willing to share our troubles as well as our joy.
To show our love for them, let's begin with small things. Don't shout at them even if they don't support your choices. Talk to them patiently and respectfully. Don't stay out late playing computer games, leaving them at home worrying about you. Try to perform better at school, because that's the way you let them know you are trying hard for your future.
Thank you!

One possible version：
Looking into the woman's teary eyes，Alan understood and walked into the house. He looked at the child and said，"Happy birthday to you，kid. And enjoy your cake."After that，he walked out，dragging Bob with him."Officer，that woman should be taken to the police station. She should be responsible for her crime."Alan replied，"What you said is absolutely correct，but I can never take away a child's birthday cake. Although what Clara did was wrong indeed，she was just a helpless mother. It would be too cruel for us to take away a desperate mother who occasionally make a mistake in front of her child！"（96 words）
Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked，"What about the things she stole？""The bill is on me，"Alan volunteered. After returning to the cake shop，he explained the incident to the shop owner and then paid for the stolen materials. Afterwards，Clara took the initiative to go to the police station，asking for her punishment. What the officer had done made her feel ashamed of her theft and she was determined to mend her way. She said that she would improve her life by her own efforts and would no longer do anything illegal again.（83 words）
