W: I think each of us should act immediately to protect our home.
M: Yeah, as students, we can take some actions in our daily life, such as picking up rubbish on the ground and caring for plants, which will play a huge role in environmental protection. I believe our environment will be restored to its original beauty one day, instead of becoming the disaster described in the book.

M: Sure. I’ve read to page 178. There are 361 pages in total.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Dementia is a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. Communicating with a person with dementia can be uncomfortable at times. Here are several communication tips for caregivers:
Get the person’s attention. Reduce noise and distractions by turning off the TV, music, closing the door or moving to a quieter area. Before you speak, make sure you have the person’s attention, addressing them by name.
Interact in a positive mood. Your body language and your attitude communicate your feelings and thoughts stronger than your words. Set a positive mood by speaking to your loved one in a respectful and pleasant manner.
Express your message clearly. Use simple words and sentences. Try not to raise your voice higher and louder.
Ask simple questions. Questions with a yes or no answer work best. Do not give too many choices or ask open-ended questions.
Remember the good old days. Many people with dementia may not remember what happened 40 minutes ago, but they can clearly remember their lives 40 years earlier. With this in mind, try asking general questions about the distant past.
Maintain your sense of humor, which I think is of vital importance. Use humor whenever possible. People with dementia are likely to retain their social skills and are usually delighted to laugh along with you.

Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan mountain. However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃. They took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again.
Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death.
Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby.
Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas.
The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains(M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend Oily Barkley. It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.
Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.”
24. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. Jackson was tired of ball games.
B. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life.
C. Jackson was well respected for his survival skills.
D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors.
25. What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Give up. B. Figure out. C. Move on. D. Look through.
26. Why did Jackson start M2M?
A. To educate sports lovers. B. To raise money for the disabled.
C. To encourage safe mountain climbing. D. To help people with similar experiences.
27. What kind of person is Jackson probably?
A. Enthusiastic but impolite. B. Creative but impatient.
C. Adventurous and inspiring. D. Responsible and humorous.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了勇于冒险的Ed Jackson，他在冒险中面临的挑战对他的身体和精神恢复都产生了巨大的影响，所以他创办了慈善组织M2M，帮助有类似经历的人。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃.(然而，他们出发几周后，在零下30℃的温度下，他们被困在那里过夜，没有水，没有食物，也没有帐篷)”和第二段中“Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death.(事实上，在山顶的那个夜晚并不是Jackson第一次濒临死亡)”可知，前两段主要讲述Jackson在经历的磨难，所以第二段主要讲的是Jackson对生活中的苦难并不陌生。故选B。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词前动词短语“managed to”的意思是“设法做成某事”，结合其后“his wheelchair”和下一句“To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then.(为了纪念他的事故一周年，Jackson给自己设定了攀登威尔士最高山峰斯诺登山的目标，尽管当时他还在拄着两根拐杖)”可知，Jackson不需再使用轮椅了，所以划线词discard意为“抛弃”，与动词短语give up意思相近。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.(它接受在世界各地的挑战中遭受身体或心理伤害的受益者，使他们能够获得大自然的治愈力量)”可知，Jackson创办M2M是为了帮助有类似经历的人。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan mountain.(Ed Jackson的团队正试图爬上喜马拉雅山的山顶)”、第四段“Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales(Jackson给自己设定了攀登威尔士最高山峰斯诺登山的目标)”以及最后一段中“But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.(但希望我所做的，我们与慈善机构所做的，以及我们的受益人所证明的，可以给任何人带来希望，他们可以改变自己的生活，无论当时看起来多么令人沮丧)”可知，Ed Jackson勇于冒险且鼓舞人心。故选C。
C
A new device is helping those who are blind to see. Jason Esterhuizen lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But now with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grew brighter.
He says, “I still can’t put it into words. I mean from being able to see absolutely nothing, it’s completely black, to all of a sudden seeing a little light move around.“ It is not full or normal sight, but Esterhuizen can move about in the world around him.
Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”
The new technology-called Orion-uses several parts. One is a small device placed in the brain. The other parts are a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device that can be carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor (处理器)and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain. The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.
Pouratian says this technology is a first. “We basically have the video camera and the video processing unit performing the functions of what the eye normally does, ” he adds.
Esterhuizen says that now he can do everyday activities around his home that he once could not. “Crossing the road is much easier and much safer for me because I can look down and just follow the white line that’s painted on the road.”
The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
28. How does the new device help the blind to become independent?
A. To tell them their surroundings. B. To show them its instructions.
C. To use sound to communicate with them. D. To give them full sight.
29. What do we know about Orion?
A. It needs sunglasses with network. B. It totally depends on the camera.
C. It can function almost in real time. D. It sends a pattern of light in hours.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The technology will cure all diseases.
B. The technology still has some space to improve.
C. Those with poor vision will recover immediately.
D. Those with poor vision will go blind once more.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Device Improves Your Eyesight B. Technology Is Changing the Modern Life
C. Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See D. You Will Get Independence with Orion
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够帮助失明的人重见光明。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”(Nader Pouratian博士说：“能够分辨出门口在哪里，能够分辨出人行道的起点和终点，以及人行横道在哪里，这些都是非常有意义的事情，可以帮助这些人重新获得某种形式的独立。”)”可知，新设备让盲人获得独立的方式是该设备能够告知盲人周边的环境。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.(该模式帮助用户识别光的运动和形状。这一切都在几秒钟内发生。)”可知，Orion的功能几乎是实时发生的。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”可知，这项技术还需进一步改进，并最终能够帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人，甚至可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new device is helping those who are blind to see.(一种新设备正在帮助盲人重见光明。)”以及最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够让那些失明的人重见光明。所以“Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See(盲人有了看见的机会)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why do people take selfies? Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer this question. ____32____People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to admiring themselves too much, the Syracuse researchers said. ____33____As social media can be shallow, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own overmuch pride.”
____34____People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. ____35____
The Newhouse School’s Associate Professor Makana Chock worked on the study. She said, posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips, our parents and grandparents used cameras to take photos. Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. ____36____
On social media, it is a different experience. People can decide not to look at photos of their friends and family even if they click “like”‘ or even “love” under the Facebook selfie.
A. That was the old way of “clicking” like.
B. Different people have different views about it.
C. They came up with some surprising answers.
D. Such people think very highly of themselves, especially how they look.
E But men desire to be seen as popular more than women when posting selfies.
F. There are other reasons, besides admiring themselves, why people post selfies.
G. Not only cameras but also phones are useful tools to record people’s experiences.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. F 35. E 36. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于人们为什么会迷恋自拍并且把它们放到社交网站上的研究发现。
【32题详解】
根据上文“Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer this question.(Syracuse大学的研究人员试图回答这个问题)”可知，下文将会是研究人员的回答，空后“People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to admiring themselves too much, the Syracuse researchers said.(Syracuse大学的研究人员表示，那些上传自拍照并使用编辑软件美化自己的人，表现出的行为与过于自我欣赏有关)”是研究人员回答的具体内容，C项“他们给出了一些令人吃惊的答案”承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
【33题详解】
根据上文“People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to admiring themselves too much, the Syracuse researchers said.(Syracuse大学的研究人员称，上传自拍照并使用编辑软件美化自己的人表现出了过度自我欣赏的行为)”可知，自拍的人过度自我欣赏，即对自己的评价过高，D项“这些人对自己的评价很高，尤其是他们的外表”与上文语义一致，符合题意，D项中的“Such people”指代上文的“People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better”。故选D。
【34题详解】
根据后文“People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.(Syracuse大学的研究发现，发布集体自拍的人显示出一种受欢迎的需求，一种归属群体的需求)”可知，自拍的原因除了上段所述之外还有其他的原因。F项“除了自我欣赏，人们自拍还有其他原因”符合语境，故选F。
【35题详解】
根据上文“There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software.(这项研究的其他发现还包括：男性和女性发布自拍的频率以及使用编辑软件的频率没有重大差异)”可知，本段讲述的是不同性别在自拍时的差异，E项“但是在发布自拍时，男性比女性更希望被视为受欢迎”符合题意，故选E。
【36题详解】
根据上文“If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos.(如果你是一个好人，你会评论照片里的每个人看起来有多好，尤其是孩子和展示照片的人)”可知，此处是描述在朋友圈里对别人的照片的点赞行为，A项“这是‘点赞’的老方式”符合语境，故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
73. 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。
Once, my uncle brought home a cute little baby parrot. At first, I and my cousins were a little scared, because we didn’t know how to handle that little tender baby. My aunt eventually helped us out. She took it and kept it just as her baby. She fed it, she gave it occasional showers and eventually we became quite comfortable with it. Now there was another dilemma (困境) that we had — as we were not really aware of its gender (性别) we were unable to decide a name for the parrot. So finally my mom called it Mitthu. We agreed.
As it was growing, its wings started growing long, but my family was too possessive (占有欲强的) and caring towards Mitthu that they trimmed (修剪) its wings. They said if it flew, it wouldn’t be able to survive outside.
As time went by, we grew, so did Mitthu...It had by now started talking quite a lot...I was amazed by the way my aunt cared for it. She fed it anything and everything they had before eating. Mitthu was never kept in a cage from the beginning...it is still not kept in a eage... at first its wings were trimmed to protect it...but now as it has grown quite a lot, even its wings are not trimmed...
I sometimes wonder, it has the whole sky to fly, it is neither in a cage nor its wings are trimmed, then why isn’t it flying at all? Maybe it is now quite attached to us and doesn’t want to leave us, or maybe it doesn’t want to leave this comfortable life and go away and face the hard reality of life. The answer may be anything, depending on how we view the situation.
But as I grew older, I realized that the life of Mitthu is not really very different from that of mine. I was cared too and thus was protected from really getting along with outside world. I made my house my world, just as it was taught to me. I guess so did Mitthu. The comfort of my hope became, and I guess Mitthu’s as well, the invisible chain that never actually will let us fly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I guess not just I, but most of the girls feel the same.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The parrot flew today.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I guess not just I, but most of the girls feel the same. We are afraid of flying. We are afraid we might hurt our parents’ feelings. We are afraid we might end up hurting them if we take our own decisions. How similar our lives are! I and Mitthu might be two different beings but trapped in a similar situation. The baggage of feelings, emotions and attachment will never really allow us to fly independently!
The parrot flew today. It finally freed itself in true sense. Everyone at home is sad. My cousins have stopped eating and they are continuously crying. Maybe they are not old enough to understand the true meaning of freedom so they are unable to understand Mitthu and are sad at losing it. But I am happy for Mitthu. I wish to get the equal courage soon. Dear parents, it’s good to love and protect your child. But sometimes overprotectiveness might harm their future, and it might influence their decisions in future. So now the parrot is really free!
【解析】
【导语】本文以鹦鹉的成长为线索展开，讲述了作者的叔叔带来一只小鹦鹉，在阿姨的精心照顾下与作者一样在长大，但是作者发现鹦鹉既没被关在笼子里，翅膀也没被修剪的情况下，仍然不飞走，由此作者感悟人生，觉得自己与这只鹦鹉一样，在被过度保护的环境下成长，可能严重影响到未来的发展。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我猜想这不仅是我这样认为，所有的女孩子都会这样想。”可知，第一段可描写作者对现在的生活感悟到了什么，要结合鹦鹉现在的生活与作者的相似点。
②由第二段首句内容“今天鹦鹉飞走了。”可知，第二段可描写看到鹦鹉飞走后家人的反应以及作者的感受。

【原文】M: Hey, Tina. Have you ever read a book called Silent Spring?
W: No, what is it about?
M: It mainly describes the environmental pollution and ecological damage caused by the excessive use of chemicals and fertilizers, which eventually brings overwhelming disasters to mankind.
W: Oh my God, it sounds like our current environmental situation.
M: I quite agree with you. Once our environment was very beautiful. However, with the increase of all kinds of pollution, the environment is getting worse and worse.
W: I think each of us should act immediately to protect our home.
M: Yeah, as students, we can take some actions in our daily life, such as picking up rubbish on the ground and caring for plants, which will play a huge role in environmental protection.

【解析】
【原文】Dementia is a serious mental disorder caused by brain disease or injury, affects the ability to think, remember and behave normally. Communicating with a person with dementia can be uncomfortable at times. Here are several communication tips for caregivers:
Get the person’s attention. Reduce noise and distractions by turning off the TV, music, closing the door or moving to a quieter area. Before you speak, make sure you have the person’s attention, addressing them by name.
Interact in a positive mood. Your body language and your attitude communicate your feelings and thoughts stronger than your words. Set a positive mood by speaking to your loved one in a respectful and pleasant manner.
Express your message clearly. Use simple words and sentences. Try not to raise your voice higher and louder.
Ask simple questions. Questions with a yes or no answer work best. Do not give too many choices or ask open-ended questions.
Remember the good old days. Many people with dementia may not remember what happened 40 minutes ago, but they can clearly remember their lives 40 years earlier. With this in mind, try asking general questions about the distant past.
Maintain your sense of humor, which I think is of vital importance. Use humor whenever possible. People with dementia are likely to retain their social skills and are usually delighted to laugh along with you.

Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan mountain. However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃. They took turns to keep each other awake in case they fell asleep and did not wake up again.
Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death.
Five years ago, while still a professional rugby player, Jackson broke his neck in a challenge, which nearly killed him. Jackson was told by doctors that he was likely to face life in a wheelchair. He was forced to retire from playing rugby.
Luckily, Jackson managed to discard his wheelchair six months after the accident. To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then. He tried to climb many higher mountains after that. Four years later, he found himself in the Himalayas.
The challenges that Jackson faced in the mountains have had a great impact on his recovery both physically and mentally. Jackson realized that others might benefit, too. So he started the charity Millimeters to Mountains(M2M) with his wife Lois and his friend Oily Barkley. It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.
Jackson says, “I once lost hope in life because of my bad condition, thinking there was nothing I could do. But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.”
24. What do the first two paragraphs mainly talk about?
A. Jackson was tired of ball games.
B. Jackson was no stranger to suffering in life.
C. Jackson was well respected for his survival skills.
D. Jackson was advised to do exercise by his doctors.
25. What does the underlined word “discard” probably mean in the third paragraph?
A. Give up. B. Figure out. C. Move on. D. Look through.
26. Why did Jackson start M2M?
A. To educate sports lovers. B. To raise money for the disabled.
C. To encourage safe mountain climbing. D. To help people with similar experiences.
27. What kind of person is Jackson probably?
A. Enthusiastic but impolite. B. Creative but impatient.
C. Adventurous and inspiring. D. Responsible and humorous.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了勇于冒险的Ed Jackson，他在冒险中面临的挑战对他的身体和精神恢复都产生了巨大的影响，所以他创办了慈善组织M2M，帮助有类似经历的人。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, weeks after they set off, they were stranded (滞留) there overnight without water, food or tents at a temperature of about -30 ℃.(然而，他们出发几周后，在零下30℃的温度下，他们被困在那里过夜，没有水，没有食物，也没有帐篷)”和第二段中“Actually, that night on the mountain top was not the first time that Jackson had been close to death.(事实上，在山顶的那个夜晚并不是Jackson第一次濒临死亡)”可知，前两段主要讲述Jackson在经历的磨难，所以第二段主要讲的是Jackson对生活中的苦难并不陌生。故选B。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词前动词短语“managed to”的意思是“设法做成某事”，结合其后“his wheelchair”和下一句“To mark the first anniversary of his accident, Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, even though he was still using two crutches (拐杖) then.(为了纪念他的事故一周年，Jackson给自己设定了攀登威尔士最高山峰斯诺登山的目标，尽管当时他还在拄着两根拐杖)”可知，Jackson不需再使用轮椅了，所以划线词discard意为“抛弃”，与动词短语give up意思相近。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“It takes beneficiaries who have suffered physical or psychological injuries in challenges around the world, allowing them to access the healing power of nature.(它接受在世界各地的挑战中遭受身体或心理伤害的受益者，使他们能够获得大自然的治愈力量)”可知，Jackson创办M2M是为了帮助有类似经历的人。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ed Jackson’s team were trying to climb to the top of a Himalayan mountain.(Ed Jackson的团队正试图爬上喜马拉雅山的山顶)”、第四段“Jackson set himself the goal of climbing Mount Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales(Jackson给自己设定了攀登威尔士最高山峰斯诺登山的目标)”以及最后一段中“But hopefully what I’m doing, what we’re doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around, no matter how discouraging it might seem at that moment.(但希望我所做的，我们与慈善机构所做的，以及我们的受益人所证明的，可以给任何人带来希望，他们可以改变自己的生活，无论当时看起来多么令人沮丧)”可知，Ed Jackson勇于冒险且鼓舞人心。故选C。

A new device is helping those who are blind to see. Jason Esterhuizen lost his eyesight after a car accident. He never thought he would be able to see light or movement again. But now with the movement of a switch, his world suddenly grew brighter.
He says, “I still can’t put it into words. I mean from being able to see absolutely nothing, it’s completely black, to all of a sudden seeing a little light move around.“ It is not full or normal sight, but Esterhuizen can move about in the world around him.
Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”
The new technology-called Orion-uses several parts. One is a small device placed in the brain. The other parts are a video camera on sunglasses and a processing device that can be carried in a person’s clothes. When the user points the camera, a signal goes to the processor (处理器)and then back to the glasses. The glasses then communicate wirelessly with the device in the brain. The information causes a pattern to develop in the part of the brain. The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.
Pouratian says this technology is a first. “We basically have the video camera and the video processing unit performing the functions of what the eye normally does, ” he adds.
Esterhuizen says that now he can do everyday activities around his home that he once could not. “Crossing the road is much easier and much safer for me because I can look down and just follow the white line that’s painted on the road.”
The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind.
28. How does the new device help the blind to become independent?
A. To tell them their surroundings. B. To show them its instructions.
C. To use sound to communicate with them. D. To give them full sight.
29. What do we know about Orion?
A. It needs sunglasses with network. B. It totally depends on the camera.
C. It can function almost in real time. D. It sends a pattern of light in hours.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The technology will cure all diseases.
B. The technology still has some space to improve.
C. Those with poor vision will recover immediately.
D. Those with poor vision will go blind once more.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A New Device Improves Your Eyesight B. Technology Is Changing the Modern Life
C. Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See D. You Will Get Independence with Orion
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够帮助失明的人重见光明。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Dr Nader Pouratian says, “ Being able to tell where a doorway is, being able to tell where the sidewalk begins or ends or where the crosswalk is, are all extremely meaningful events that can help these people regain some form of independence.”(Nader Pouratian博士说：“能够分辨出门口在哪里，能够分辨出人行道的起点和终点，以及人行横道在哪里，这些都是非常有意义的事情，可以帮助这些人重新获得某种形式的独立。”)”可知，新设备让盲人获得独立的方式是该设备能够告知盲人周边的环境。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The pattern helps users detect (识别 ) movement and shapes of light. And it all happens in seconds.(该模式帮助用户识别光的运动和形状。这一切都在几秒钟内发生。)”可知，Orion的功能几乎是实时发生的。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”可知，这项技术还需进一步改进，并最终能够帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人，甚至可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A new device is helping those who are blind to see.(一种新设备正在帮助盲人重见光明。)”以及最后一段“The researchers believe that one day this technology could help people who have lost their vision because of illnesses like glaucoma(青光眼)or diabetes. It may also help those with poor vision or who were born blind. (研究人员相信，有一天这项技术可以帮助那些因青光眼或糖尿病等疾病而失明的人。它也可以帮助那些视力差或天生失明的人。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新的技术，该技术能够让那些失明的人重见光明。所以“Blind Men Are Given the Chance to See(盲人有了看见的机会)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

Why do people take selfies? Researchers at Syracuse University in New York tried to answer this question. ____32____People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to admiring themselves too much, the Syracuse researchers said. ____33____As social media can be shallow, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own overmuch pride.”
____34____People who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the Syracuse University research found.
Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. ____35____
The Newhouse School’s Associate Professor Makana Chock worked on the study. She said, posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips, our parents and grandparents used cameras to take photos. Before social media, people would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. If you are a nice person, you commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. ____36____
On social media, it is a different experience. People can decide not to look at photos of their friends and family even if they click “like”‘ or even “love” under the Facebook selfie.
A. That was the old way of “clicking” like.
B. Different people have different views about it.
C. They came up with some surprising answers.
D. Such people think very highly of themselves, especially how they look.
E But men desire to be seen as popular more than women when posting selfies.

第二节(满分25分)
73. 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。
Once, my uncle brought home a cute little baby parrot. At first, I and my cousins were a little scared, because we didn’t know how to handle that little tender baby. My aunt eventually helped us out. She took it and kept it just as her baby. She fed it, she gave it occasional showers and eventually we became quite comfortable with it. Now there was another dilemma (困境) that we had — as we were not really aware of its gender (性别) we were unable to decide a name for the parrot. So finally my mom called it Mitthu. We agreed.
As it was growing, its wings started growing long, but my family was too possessive (占有欲强的) and caring towards Mitthu that they trimmed (修剪) its wings. They said if it flew, it wouldn’t be able to survive outside.
As time went by, we grew, so did Mitthu...It had by now started talking quite a lot...I was amazed by the way my aunt cared for it. She fed it anything and everything they had before eating. Mitthu was never kept in a cage from the beginning...it is still not kept in a eage... at first its wings were trimmed to protect it...but now as it has grown quite a lot, even its wings are not trimmed...
I sometimes wonder, it has the whole sky to fly, it is neither in a cage nor its wings are trimmed, then why isn’t it flying at all? Maybe it is now quite attached to us and doesn’t want to leave us, or maybe it doesn’t want to leave this comfortable life and go away and face the hard reality of life. The answer may be anything, depending on how we view the situation.
But as I grew older, I realized that the life of Mitthu is not really very different from that of mine. I was cared too and thus was protected from really getting along with outside world. I made my house my world, just as it was taught to me. I guess so did Mitthu. The comfort of my hope became, and I guess Mitthu’s as well, the invisible chain that never actually will let us fly.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
I guess not just I, but most of the girls feel the same.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The parrot flew today.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
I guess not just I, but most of the girls feel the same. We are afraid of flying. We are afraid we might hurt our parents’ feelings. We are afraid we might end up hurting them if we take our own decisions. How similar our lives are! I and Mitthu might be two different beings but trapped in a similar situation. The baggage of feelings, emotions and attachment will never really allow us to fly independently!
The parrot flew today. It finally freed itself in true sense. Everyone at home is sad. My cousins have stopped eating and they are continuously crying. Maybe they are not old enough to understand the true meaning of freedom so they are unable to understand Mitthu and are sad at losing it. But I am happy for Mitthu. I wish to get the equal courage soon. Dear parents, it’s good to love and protect your child. But sometimes overprotectiveness might harm their future, and it might influence their decisions in future. So now the parrot is really free!
【解析】
【导语】本文以鹦鹉的成长为线索展开，讲述了作者的叔叔带来一只小鹦鹉，在阿姨的精心照顾下与作者一样在长大，但是作者发现鹦鹉既没被关在笼子里，翅膀也没被修剪的情况下，仍然不飞走，由此作者感悟人生，觉得自己与这只鹦鹉一样，在被过度保护的环境下成长，可能严重影响到未来的发展。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我猜想这不仅是我这样认为，所有的女孩子都会这样想。”可知，第一段可描写作者对现在的生活感悟到了什么，要结合鹦鹉现在的生活与作者的相似点。
②由第二段首句内容“今天鹦鹉飞走了。”可知，第二段可描写看到鹦鹉飞走后家人的反应以及作者的感受。
2.续写线索：女孩们害怕独立的原因——与鹦鹉舒适生活的比较——鹦鹉飞走——家人与作者的感受——作者对成长的感悟
