M: I see so many stickers. Will this delay the release date? I've already told everyone I know they could buy the book in May.
W: It will be much safer to move the date to June or July. Don't worry. This happens often with books.
M: But I don't want to keep changing the date. I feel embarrassed.
W: OK, we can change it to July to be certain.
M: All right. I will email you the edited book next week.
W: I prefer working with a hard copy. Can you mail it or bring it in?
M: Sure, I'll send it by mail.

W: I'd love that. First, let's take the subway downtown to my family's apartment.
M: Is it true that the subway is the longest subway system in the world?
W: Maybe it's the longest in the US. It does run 24/7, though.

W: We can if you want to. Usually, we stay at my house and have a meal with my grandparents and cousins.

【原文】Dear Diary, today is my first day of recording you. My teacher recommended I make an audio diary every day, because it will help clear my thoughts, organize my goals, and make me a better speaker. I don’t know what my goals are yet. I do want to be a better speaker, though. That sounds nice. My best friend also has an audio diary, but she never lets me hear it. I would love to know what she has said, but she tells me it’s a secret. I don’t know yet if I will keep you secret too. She’s very smart and her tape recorder is small and red. That’s why you’re also red. I’m lucky to be in her group for the class project, even though she is kind of lazy. But her brain makes up for it and I’m sure we’ll win Best Project in class. I have to get up early, so I should probably finish for today. Also, I’m not sure what else to say. I’ll speak to you again this time tomorrow, or maybe in the morning if I have any interesting dreams. If anything happens at school, I will make a recording around lunch. Goodbye for now.

Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person’s name and it can also be a descriptive name for a place. Many American cities have nicknames. They can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity.
Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city’s initials, L. A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish. Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather, so another nickname is the City of Flowers and Sunshine. Los Angeles is sometimes called the Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city’s warm climate.
The American movie industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called the Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is perfect without seeing the word “Hollywood” spelled out in huge letters on a hillside. Many movie stars live here. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. It comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry.
Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-la Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious and maybe even out of touch with reality. A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm weather, beautiful mountains and beaches and movie stars.
On the whole, Los Angeles is glowingly attractive just for its rich nicknames.
24. What is the function of a nickname of a place?
A. To make it attractive. B. To make its name easy to remember.
C. To make its citizens proud of it. D. To make it connected to other cities.

【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“One is simply the city’s initials, L. A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means “the angels” in Spanish.

So it is not surprising that it is called the Entertainment Capital of the World.(美国电影业总部设在洛杉矶。因此，它被称为世界娱乐之都也就不足为奇了)”以及第四段“Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-la Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles.

Astronauts in space can do many exciting things, but they miss out on ordinary things we all take for granted—hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. However, there may soon be a solution to the problem, thanks to this cool 3D pizza printer!
A year ago, NASA offered $ 125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3D technology expert, to build a device(设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza. The engineer promised that his invention would produce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and smelled like pizza made in ovens.
Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype(原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough(面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder, oil and water and finally a protein slice that likes cheese. While the video doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that once the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be enjoyed in 7 seconds.
While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract any pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronauts. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years.
Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients(配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This will not be so easy. However, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready for people on earth. Hopefully, Contractor will consider selling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!
28. What is the ordinary thing that astronauts miss out on?
A. They can’t sleep well. B. They don’t have enough food.
C. They can’t have hot pizzas. D. They don’t have personal space.
29. What does the video in Paragraph 3 show?
A. What the machine looks like. B. What the printed pizzas look like.
C. How the machine makes pizzas. D. How the inventor built the machine.
30. What is the biggest problem Anjan Contractor faces?
A. The pizzas are not delicious.
B. The container can’t last long enough.
C. The pizzas can’t stay fresh for long.
D. The money for his research has been used up.
31. What’s the best title of the text?
A. 3D Pizza Printers Have Been Used to Make Pizza
B. NASA Tries Its Best to Help Astronauts Eat Better
C. NASA Works on Making Pizza for Common People
D. Astronauts May Be Able to Enjoy Hot Pizza in Space
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。美国宇航局出资给一名3D技术专家，令其发明一种能够让宇航员在需要时制作可口比萨的3D打印机。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Astronauts in space can do many exciting things, but they miss out on ordinary things we all take for granted—hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza.”（宇航员在太空中可以做很多令人兴奋的事情，但他们错过了一些我们习以为常的普通事情——和家人一起出去玩，吃一块热气腾腾的披萨。）可知，宇航员在太空不能吃到热的披萨。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first prototype that begins by creating a single slice of dough that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes the tomato “sauce”—a mix of tomato powder,oil and water and finally a protein slice that likes cheese.”（去年年底，这位工程师展示了他的第一个原型的视频，他首先制作了一片同时烹饪和打印的面团，然后是番茄“酱汁”——由番茄粉、油和水混合而成，最后是像奶酪一样的蛋白质片。）可知，视频主要展示了制作披萨的过程。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the food container in the printer last for 30 years.”（因为他还得想办法让打印机里的食物容器能使用30年。）可知，Anjan Contractor面对的最大问题是容器使用时间不够长。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, there may soon be a solution to the problem, thanks to this cool 3D pizza printer!”（不过，这款酷炫的3D披萨打印机可能很快就能解决这个问题了！）及第二段“A year ago, NASA offered $ 125,000 to Anjan Contractor, a 3D technology expert, to build a device that would allow astronauts to make pizza.”（一年前，美国国家航空航天局向3D技术专家Anjan Contractor提供12.5万美元，让他制造一种可以让宇航员制作披萨的设备。）及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了美国宇航局致力于研发3D比萨打印机为宇航员提供比萨，故本文题目应为“Astronauts May Be Able to Enjoy Hot Pizza in Space”（宇航员不久将能够在太空享用比萨）。故选D。
D
Saturn (土星) is famous for its lovely rings. But a new study suggests the planet has spent most of its 4.5 billion years without them. That’s because the rings are likely only 10 million to 100 million years old according to a newly published report in the journal Science based on findings from NASA’s Cassini probe (探测器).
Cassini spent some 13 years orbiting Saturn before diving into its atmosphere during its final orbits. The spacecraft dove between the planet and its rings. That let scientists measure the gravitational (重力的) effect of the rings and get a good estimate (估计) of the ring material’s mass. What they found is that it’s only about 40 percent of the mass of Saturn’s moon Mimas. This small mass suggests that the rings are relatively young.
“The rings are almost pure ice.” He says the relative youthfulness of Saturn’s ring system is something that scientists have come to think about only recently, “It was easier to believe that it formed at the same time with Saturn,” Nicholson says. It’s possible that the rings are the remains of a comet or some other icy object that made a chance encounter (遭遇) with Saturn and got torn up, he says. Or perhaps one of Saturn’s moons got whacked by an impact with a large comet.
Whatever happened, it’s looking more and more likely that the rings may be disappearing at a rapid speed as dusty ice particles (颗粒) get pulled down to Saturn by its gravity. In another 100 million years, Saturn’s most unique feature might be gone.
32. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Saturn’s rings are detected. B. Saturn got its rings recently.
C. How did Saturn's rings form. D. When will Saturn's rings disappear.
33. What can we learn about Saturn’s rings according to the text?
A. They will never disappear.
B. They have larger mass than Saturn.
C. They came into being after Saturn formed.
D. They are a natural phenomenon of all planets.
34. What does the underlined word “whacked” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Hit. B. Employed. C. Burnt. D. United.
35. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A diary. B. A textbook. C. A novel. D. A magazine
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新的研究表明土星可爱的光环可能是最近才出现的。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“That’s because the rings are likely only 10 million to 100 million years old according to a newly published report in the journal Science based on findings from NASA’s Cassini probe.(这是因为根据《科学》杂志基于美国宇航局卡西尼号探测器的发现发布的最新报告，这些光环可能只有1000万至1亿年的历史。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究表明土星的光环可能是最近才出现的。故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“What they found is that it’s only about 40 percent of the mass of Saturn’s moon Mimas. This small mass suggests that the rings are relatively young.(他们发现它的质量只有土星卫星米马斯的40%。这个小质量表明这些环相对年轻。)”可知，土星光环比土星年轻，即土星光环是在土星形成之后形成的。故选C项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“It’s possible that the rings are the remains of a comet or some other icy object that made a chance encounter with Saturn and got torn up, he says. (他说，这些光环很可能是彗星或其他一些与土星偶然相遇并被撕裂的冰冷物体的残骸。)”可知，研究人员认为土星光环可能是由于星体碰撞产生的，推测划线单词表示“撞击”，与hit同义。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Saturn is famous for its lovely rings. But a new study suggests the planet has spent most of its 4.5 billion years without them. That’s because the rings are likely only 10 million to 100 million years old according to a newly published report in the journal Science based on findings from NASA’s Cassini probe.(土星以其可爱的光环而闻名。但一项新的研究表明，地球在45亿年的大部分时间里都没有它们。这是因为根据《科学》杂志基于美国宇航局卡西尼号探测器的发现发布的最新报告，这些光环可能只有1000万至1亿年的历史。)”可知，本文主要介绍了新的研究表明土星可爱的光环可能是最近才出现的，推测文章最有可能出现在杂志上。故选D项。

How to Be Creative When You’re Not Naturally Creative
Creativity isn’t something people are born with. It’s a skill that can be learned. And you can only get better at it with practice. The brain needs to be developed using cognitive exercises. ____36____
Take a creative course.
____37____ Creative courses could be anything. Regardless which course you take, you’ll be exposed to different ways of thinking. It may help you uncover some of your strengths and work on your weaknesses. It’ll also surround you with people who share the goal.
Brainstorm while you exercise.
If you feel like you’re working your brain hard and still coming out empty-handed, try pushing yourself physically for thirty minutes. ____38____ One study found that exercising regularly may train your cognitive thinking and creativity in a healthy way. Take 30 minutes out of your day to go for a run or do an energizing yoga flow.
____39____
Since your creativity is related to how your brain is wired, it’s important to keep your mind stimulated by new sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and experiences.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Many of the stories that I read on HelpOthers are all about helping other people, doing actsof kindness for someone else. Often times it's easy to forget that no matter who you are, you're not always the giver. Sometimes it's we who receive that random act of kindness. When it happens, it almost feels odd(古怪的) to some extent that you are on the other end-receiving vs giving. In some way, it can be quite a humbling(使谦恭) experience.
My daughter and I had gone into Subway one evening to get sandwiches for the two of us, plus one for my wife. Before going to Subway, I had checked my bank account to make sure that I had money on my debit card. I had moved what I thought to be several hundred dollars to my card. Coming out in a hurry, I never confirmed the transaction and so I actually had no money in my account.
When I stepped up to cash register to pay for our sandwiches, my debit card got rejected. I stood there telling the cashier it had to be a mistake. So they ran it again. REJECTED!!! Well, I was sure most pecple have been in this isort of situation and how embarrassing it could be. Of course, there was a long line of people waiting, hearing this whole thing. Behind me, I noticed there was a young man in his mid-20's. I asked the cashier to hold the sandwiches and that I would come back for them. I went out to my car and called my son, asking him to check my account on line. Well, I learned I never actually moved the money.
I was explaining to my son what he needed to do to put money into my account when all of a sudden there was a knock at my car window. The young man who had been standing behind me in line was standing there holding a bag. I was surprised and wondered what was going on.
