Text 10
My father woke me up early one morning when I was fourteen and announced，“Get up！You are going with me to cut grass.” I felt proud and excited because my father thought I was responsible enough to help him in his business.Still，that first day was very hard.From sunrise to sunset，my father，my younger brother and I cut and trimmed very large yards in the well­to­do part of the city.By the end of the day，I was tired，but I felt good.I had put in a hard day’s labor and earned six dollars.
One day，my father found some leaves I had missed cutting and pulled me aside.“Cut that section again！” he said firmly.“And don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was very clear.Today I stress the importance of doing a job well at the first time.In every job I have held，from cutting lawns to washing dishes to working a machine on the construction site，I have learned something that helps me in my next job.If you work hard enough，you can learn from any job you do.

We don’t know how different our future will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationship.In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day.We will be making new friends through the Internet—even our husbands or wives will be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand，our relationships with people won’t be as important as they are today—we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier.In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will，of course，change，too.We will be using solar­powered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment.But it isn’t true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.And，scientists will probably find cures for many dangerous diseases，like cancer or AIDS.Therefore，our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition.
Although we can’t predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them.We worry about our and our children’s future；we have expectations，hopes as well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our future.We should be happy and believe good things will happen.

24．Why will people probably feel a little lonely in 2050?
A．Because the number of people will become much smaller.
B．Because there will be less face­to­face communication.
C．Because people won’t like making friends with each other.
D．Because people won’t communicate with each other much often.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，在2050年，人们主要通过电脑进行交流，而很少进行面对面的交流，人与人之间的关系也就淡薄了，因此那时的人们会感到有点孤独。
25．The third paragraph mainly tells us .
A．that computers will do all the things for human beings
B．how people will use computers to communicate with each other
C．that machines like computers and robots will help people a lot
D．how people will use robots to do the housework
答案　C
解析　段落大意题。根据第三段的内容可知，计算机和机器人等机器会给人类带来很大的帮助，故选C。
26．According to the passage，which of the following will happen in 2050?
A．The relationship between people will be more important than that of today.
B．The way of spending holidays will be the same as that of today.
C．It won’t be difficult for people to travel to other planets.
D．Our environment will be much more polluted with a growing number of cars.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Traveling to other planets or to the moon will be available for everyone.”可知C项正确。
27．The underlined word “sanguine” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”．
A．disappointed B．surprised
C．curious D．optimistic
答案　D
解析　词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句话可以猜测出作者认为我们对未来应该持积极乐观的态度，故选D项。
C
A new study suggests that dark markings on the planet Mars represent sand—not water.The research in 2015 suggested that lines on some Martian hills were evidence of water.Yet American scientists now say these lines appear more like dry，flows of sand.If water is present，it is likely to be a small amount.Water in liquid forms would be necessary for microbial(微生物的) life.
NASA，the American space agency，said more research is needed.Michael Meyer is the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars’ exploration programme.He noted that the latest study does not reject the presence of water.But he admitted，“It just may not be as exciting as the idea of rivers going down the sides of cliffs(悬崖)．”
The new findings come from a team led by Colin Dundas of the United States Geological Survey.His team measured 151 of these lines in 10 areas.Most of the lines end with slopes between 28 degrees and 35 degrees.These measurements are similar to active sand dunes(沙丘) on both Mars and Earth.A small covering of dust that moves and sometimes becomes lighter might help explain the markings.They usually appear in the Martian summertime，and then disappear until the next year.If these lines are dry，this suggests that recent Mars has not had large volumes of liquid water.Dundas and his research team say that many questions remain.
“I still think that Mars has a great potential for having had life early on in its history，” Meyer said.“As long as that’s true，we also have a reasonable possibility of life still being on Mars.It just happens to be cryptic or well hidden.”
NASA currently has no robotic vehicle—either on Mars or in development—with the ability to climb steep slopes.The lack of such equipment has engineers coming up with ideas like Martian helicopters or planes without pilots.
语篇解读　本文主要讲述了美国科学家的一项新的研究发现：火星上黑色的标记是沙子而不是水。

28．What do American scientists find on Mars now according to their study?
A．A lot of little life.
B．An amount of water.
C．Some Martian hills.
D．Dark markings are sand.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，科学家发现火星上的黑色标记是沙子而不是水。故选D。
29．When do the markings come out?
A．In Martian spring.
B．In Martian summer.
C．In Martian autumn.
D．In Martian winter.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第三句可知，这样的标记会出现在火星的夏季。故选B。
30．What’s Meyer’s opinion about having life on Mars?
A．Doubtful. B．Trustful.
C．Indifferent. D．Objective.
答案　B
解析　观点态度题。根据第四段内容可推知，Meyer还是相信火星上有生命。故选B。
31．What does the underlined word “cryptic” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Undiscovered. B．Strange.
C．Magical. D．Icy.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“or well hidden”可知，cryptic的意思是“隐藏的；没被发现的”。故选A。
D
Water is a necessity of life.Rain，especially，helps plants grow and stay green.But too much rain，especially in cities，can lead to flooding.That can cause waste water systems to overflow and send pollutants into rivers and other waterways.To fight the problem，several cities in the United States are starting programs like rooftop gardens.
A team at the University of the District of Columbia in the nation’s capital has created a garden on the top of one school building.The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time.Architect David Bell has designed five “green roofs” for the university.He says he is excited about the project because “it meant doing something more than just dealing with storm water management.It took advantage of a resource above the city and these flat roofs that aren’t doing anything really became something that was about urban agriculture”．Rainwater is collected in large containers and sent through a system that waters the rooftop garden.The roof is filled with green life that appeals to insects.
“In cities，you don’t have that many spaces to choose from and so rooftops are just (unused) spaces，” says Caitlin Arlotta.She is a student in the school’s Urban Agriculture program.The project is part of a research program to see which plants do well on rooftops.The researchers are looking at plants including strawberries，tomatoes and sweet potatoes.The university also has other green spaces.“We also have our own farm experiments，” Arlotta said.“Within each of those growing systems，we want to be able to tell people which sorts of these crops grow the best.”
Sandy Farber Bandier helps run UDC’s Master Gardener program.It seeks to improve cities and make them beautiful by training people to become Master Gardeners.She says she’s been surprised by the garden’s output.“My biggest surprise was that we produced 4,250 pounds of produce the first year and was able to spread that to people in need.” She also likes being able to show people who live in D．C.and others beyond the nation’s capital what and how food can be grown on a rooftop.“This is the future for food.You grow it here，you prepare it in a commercial kitchen，you distribute through farmers markets，food trucks，and then you recycle.”
语篇解读　本文是说明文，介绍了美国的几个城市正在启动屋顶花园等项目。在大学校舍的顶部建造花园，种植多种植物吸收雨水，利用城市上空的一种资源，已经成为城市农业的一部分。

32．What do we know about the rooftop gardens?
A．Rooftop gardens are very common in average neighbourhoods.
B．There are many sorts of plants there which help take in rainwater.
C．They’re playing an important role in the city’s food supply.
D．Rooftop gardens are no more than containers to collect rainwater.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The garden holds many kinds of plants to help absorb rainwater and grow food at the same time.”可知，花园里有多种植物，可以帮助吸收雨水。故选B。
33．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A．Rooftops can offer enough spaces to plant crops.
B．Many plants like strawberries can grow well on rooftops.
C．Some university students are participating in the Urban Agriculture program.
D．The plants in rooftop gardens are attractive to many insects.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知，许多大学生正在参与这项城市农业计划。故选C。
34．How does Sandy Farber Bandier feel about the future of rooftop gardens?
A．Confident. B．Doubtful.
C．Worried. D．Ambiguous.
答案　A
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句Sandy Farber Bandier说的话“这是食品的未来。你在这里种植，在商业厨房里准备，通过农贸市场分发，食品卡车运输，然后回收利用”可推断出，她对于屋顶花园的未来很有信心。故选A。
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Rainwater Necessity for Plant Life
B．Green Roofs—The Future of Urban Agriculture
C．The United States’ Agriculture Program
D．Rooftop Gardens—Food Paradise
答案　B
答案　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了美国的几个城市为了充分利用雨水，正在启动屋顶花园项目，该项目代表了城市农业的未来。故选B。
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出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Teenage Brains in the Digital World
When it comes to technology，adults won’t be able to keep up with their children.It took the radio 38 years to reach 50 million people，but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number，and 13 years for the television.In contrast，it took Facebook 3.6 years. 36 .
Over the 15 years，digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570.And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers，whose brains appear to have an extraordinary capacity to adapt to the world around them. 37 ， enabling teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace of digital technology and giving them an advantage when it comes to multitasking(多重任务处理)．
In the US，on average teenagers spend 8.5 hours a day using computers，mobiles，and other devices to learn，interact and play. 38 ，such as talking on the phone while you’re watching TV.As they stare at these screens，they’re taking in and sorting through an incredible amount of information.
39 .YouTube indicates that teenagers all over the world are watching the same clips and laughing at the same joke，indicating that they are more global­minded than teenagers in the past.They may be keen on texting their friends and posting updates on social media sites.
40 .By the age of 30，our brains will become more set in their ways，making it harder for us to adapt and cope with the new technology.
A．However，there is a cut­off
B．Twitter only needed 88 days
C．There are concerns about how to make friends online
D．There is an advantage of the growing digital trend
E．Having a more flexible brain means certain parts of it haven’t developed yet
F．This means that the teenage brains can adapt to new technology
G．This increases to 11.5 hours if you include all the multitasking that goes on

36．答案　B
解析　根据上文“but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number，and 13 years for the television.In contrast，it took Facebook 3.6 years.”由此可知，B项“Twitter only needed 88 days”(推特只需要88天)符合语境。
37．答案　F
解析　根据上句：他们的大脑似乎有非凡的能力去适应周围的世界。以及下文的“enabling teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace of digital technology”可知，此处说的是青少年的大脑可以适应新技术。故答案为F。
38．答案　G
解析　根据上句：在美国，青少年平均每天花8.5小时在电脑、手机和其他设备上学习、互动和玩耍。G项指出，如果你把所有的多任务处理都包括在内，这就增加到11.5小时，承接上句。
39．答案　D
解析　根据下文：视频网站表示，全世界的青少年都在观看同样的片段，并因为同一个笑话而哈哈大笑，这表明他们比过去的青少年更具有全球意识。可知，数字趋势的增长是有优势的。故选D。
40．答案　A
解析　根据下句：到30岁时，我们的大脑将会变得僵化，让我们更难适应和应对新技术。可知此空的意思是：适应新技术也不是无限制的，有一个截止点。此空位于句首，和上文内容是转折关系。故选A。
第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节　(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials to make the light bulb.When none worked satisfactorily，his assistant complained，“All our work is in vain.We have learned nothing.”
Thomas Edison replied very 41 ，“Oh，we have come a long way and we have 42 a lot.We now know that there are two thousand materials which we cannot 43 to make a good light bulb.”
If you learn from your mistakes，then you are 44 .If you learn from someone else’s mistakes，then you are a genius.Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines 45 daily and failure is nothing more than a few small 46 repeated daily.
How 47 the above lines are！Success takes time.We’ll make mistakes if we do things in too much of a hurry.When we do not practice disciplines in life，we don’t build enough confidence to 48 new and challenging tasks.Our confidence 49 what we think of ourselves and whether we believe in ourselves.We are all born with exceptional 50 ，but only a few really make efforts in life and the others just lead a(n) 51 life.Do you want to be exceptional?
Success is a fruit which everyone wants to eat，but no one can 52 it without serious efforts.
Those who want to succeed will find a way；those who don’t will find a(n) 53 ！
Success depends upon previous 54 ，and without it we will end in failure.When you are 55 ，please enjoy it and give your hand to others who want to accomplish something.

56．答案　ninth
解析　考查序数词。此处指“九年级”，定冠词the修饰序数词，故填ninth。
57．答案　sitting
解析　考查非谓语动词。句中谓语是whispered，现在分词作定语指坐在我旁边的女孩，故填sitting。
58．答案　if/whether
解析　考查宾语从句。句意为：最终我发现她正试图问我是否有一支多余的笔。根据动词ask和语境可知填“是否”if/whether。
59．答案　hers
解析　考查代词。此处指“她的笔”，相当于her pen，应用名词性物主代词，故填hers。
60．答案　asked
解析　考查动词时态。全文讲述的是过去发生的事，谓语动词用一般过去时。故填asked。
61．答案　to stand
解析　考查非谓语动词。句中it是形式主语，不定式作真正的主语。故填to stand。
62．答案　feet
解析　考查名词单复数。此处由two修饰，即指“两只脚”，应用foot的复数形式。故填feet。
63．答案　when
解析　考查连词。分析句意可知，当人们做一些不诚实的事情时，他们实际上是在欺骗自己。故填when。
64．答案　seriously
解析　考查词性转换。此处修饰动词think要用副词，指“认真地想”。故填seriously。
65．答案　about
解析　考查介词。分析句意可知，我不知道为什么老师和我谈论这些事。故填about。

Dear Editor，
Recently our class had a discussion on whether space is worth exploring.30% of the students don’t think it worthwhile.They think space is too far away from our daily life，and the money spent on space exploration could have been used to solve such problems as starvation and pollution.However，the others hold the opposite view because we have benefited a lot from using satellites for communication and the weather forecast.Also，it will enable us to find new resources to solve the problem of energy shortage on the earth.
Personally，I am in favour of space exploration.We may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day.
Yours，

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。
The Make­up Guy
Dave was a make­up(化妆) artist who regularly held make­up artistry classes at the local community college.He was well­known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually，the majority of his students were middle­aged housewives，who wanted to fine­tune their make­up skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time，it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make­up artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably，the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations(猜测) quickly started to spread.Why did he learn make­up? Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner? How about my neighbor’s youngest daughter? Why on earth would he attend such a woman class? Who could it be?
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area，which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man’s intentions.
Throughout the lessons，ignoring the curious women around him，the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned，leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end，the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer，for they knew it was time to remove their doubts，otherwise...
Finally，one of them couldn’t resist her curiosity，so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make­up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century，he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes(糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make­up.





So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.

He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes and she was no longer able to apply her make­up.Fearing being laughed at，she locked herself in her room，abandoning herself to great grief.She was absolutely beautiful even without make­up.But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make­up.Sensing her loneliness in a colorless­world，he was also at a loss as to what to do.Once informed of this class，he determined to learn make­up without hesitation，hoping to make a difference.
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.Without a pause，he shared his story.He mastered a wide range of practical skills，allowing him to help her take on a new look.Surely，being enveloped by an atmosphere of love，his beloved wife at present was deeply affected.“I not only want to learn how to apply her make­up，but also want her to wear the most beautiful make­up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside，” he announced.“It is her smile that touches most my heart，not the make­up.”
