For the first time in his life, Pete Peeks was able to use both hands to hang Christmas lights outside his house—thanks to the help of a high school robotics team. Peeks, 38, was born without the full use of his right hand, and though many may take hanging holiday lights for granted, Peeks said it was beyond his wildest dreams.
Peeks was a client of the Sequoyah High School Robotics Team in Canton, Georgia. The team has designed an 3D-printed prostheses (假肢) to send for free to people around the world who need them.
Daniel McCrobie, the team leader, said that while the clients have said they are benefiting from the products, they are also benefiting by learning about the challenges other people face and how technology can make a difference. “Many of the prosthetics people can get the conventional way are very expensive, and even if you are fortunate enough to get coverage, children grow out of them like they grow out of shoes,” he said.
The inexpensive production through 3D printing opens up access to more people who need prostheses, and also means that they can be more customized to the clients’ unique bodies and specific needs. Peeks said the team was able to make educated recommendations for his prosthesis when he met with them. “They went beyond expectations in terms of really assessing the situation and learning what my specific needs were,” he said. “They were able to make some measurements to make sure everything was fitted correctly.” And within a couple of weeks, he said, he had a prototype (原型) ready to try on. “Their eagerness to want to help and use technology to really transform people’s lives has been a great example of humans helping humans,” Peeks said.
That practice of giving is something McCrobie hopes will continue when he graduates. The team is currently working on documenting their processes to pass them on to future classes.
41. Why does the author mention Peeks’ experience in the first paragraph?
A. To support an argument.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To describe the main character.
D. To add some background information.
42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Shoes.
B. Challenges.
C. Conventions.
D. Prostheses.
43. What can we say about the team’s products?
A. They are tailor-made.
B. They are mass-produced.
C. They cost a lot to make.
D. They take a long time to make.
44. What is Peeks’ attitude to his 3D-printed prostheses?
A. Doubtful.
B. Concerned.
C. Satisfied.
D. Worried.
45. Which of the following can best describe McCrobie’s team?
A. Generous and honest.
B. Responsible and caring.
C. Productive and sensitive.
D. Cooperative and proud.

Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood. A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction, known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient (熟练的) at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction,” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds, she adds, “There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish. These sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them, they will be better readers.”
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke, who led the study, explains, “The primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start. The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.”
Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement. Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
46. What were the participants required to do in the study?
A. To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B. To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C. To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D. To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
47. How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A. By combining learning with games. B. By offering them chances to cooperate.
C. By inspiring them to overcome difficulties. D. By explaining instructions to them patiently.
48. What does Jacob expect of the research finding?
A Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
B. Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
C. Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
D. Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
49. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A. Children prefer learning step by step.
B. Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly
C. Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D. Children’s learning still relies on adults’ instruction.
50. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Whole-body learning — a good start to children’s reading
B. Embodied learning — a booster for children’s reading speed
C. Children’s reading skills matter a lot in their literacy development
D. Children’s literacy development depends on the flexibility of their bodies
D
People are being lured onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages. Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends’ names — were set, by default, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
51. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal data
D. It provides a lot of information to its users
52. What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook
B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information
C. They don’t identify themselves when using website
D. They care very little about their personal information
53. Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To help its users make more friends B. To obey the Federal guidelines
C To make money by attracting more users D. To offer better service to its users
54. What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?
A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
B. Setting rules for social-networking sites
C. Stopping sharing user’s personal information
D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites
55. Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its service. B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data abused. D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
At the age of 15, Roxanne Black-Weisheit was told that she got lupus, a systemic autoimmune (自身免疫) disease that occurs when one’s body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissues and organs. Shortly after, Black-Weisheit desperately sought emotional support. She wanted a friend who could truly understand her situation, and she figured there were others who needed this, too.
So, during her first year of college, she created Friends’ Health Connection (FHC), a non-profit organization that helped people with similar health conditions.
As she was starting FHC, lupus was destroying her kidney function. During her senior year of college, she had her first kidney transplant and 13 years later, she had her second one. Through it all, she didn’t forgo FHC. She’d even transformed her hospital room into an “office” and worked in her hospital bed.
After graduation, she secured enough funding to continue growing her organization, and it became her full-time job. But, unfortunately, lupus and kidney transplants weren’t the end of Black-Weisheit’s health issues. Five years ago, at 42, she had lymphoma.
Black-Weisheit’s new disease left her extremely weak and tired, and she knew she had to make a choice about FHC. “Since my time and energy were limited and my future was uncertain, the board and I decided to close our office. I wanted to devote all my energy to keeping my family life as normal as possible,” she explained.
Her career didn’t end there, though. When she started feeling better, she felt the urge to start working again. Using her experience from FHC, she started a new company — Schedule Authors.com, which helps other companies schedule different types of speakers for their events. This is now Black-Weisheit’s current job. But she missed running her own non-profit organization, so she started trying to figure out how to bring back FHC.
And, recently, she received some great news: A past FHC donor would provide her with a grant to get the organization running again.
56. What did Black-Weisheit realize shortly after being told that she got lupus? (no more than 8 words)
________________
57. Why did Black-Weisheit create the non-profit organization FHC? (no more than 10 words)

For the first time in his life, Pete Peeks was able to use both hands to hang Christmas lights outside his house—thanks to the help of a high school robotics team. Peeks, 38, was born without the full use of his right hand, and though many may take hanging holiday lights for granted, Peeks said it was beyond his wildest dreams.
Peeks was a client of the Sequoyah High School Robotics Team in Canton, Georgia. The team has designed an 3D-printed prostheses (假肢) to send for free to people around the world who need them.
Daniel McCrobie, the team leader, said that while the clients have said they are benefiting from the products, they are also benefiting by learning about the challenges other people face and how technology can make a difference. “Many of the prosthetics people can get the conventional way are very expensive, and even if you are fortunate enough to get coverage, children grow out of them like they grow out of shoes,” he said.
The inexpensive production through 3D printing opens up access to more people who need prostheses, and also means that they can be more customized to the clients’ unique bodies and specific needs. Peeks said the team was able to make educated recommendations for his prosthesis when he met with them. “They went beyond expectations in terms of really assessing the situation and learning what my specific needs were,” he said. “They were able to make some measurements to make sure everything was fitted correctly.” And within a couple of weeks, he said, he had a prototype (原型) ready to try on. “Their eagerness to want to help and use technology to really transform people’s lives has been a great example of humans helping humans,” Peeks said.
That practice of giving is something McCrobie hopes will continue when he graduates. The team is currently working on documenting their processes to pass them on to future classes.
41. Why does the author mention Peeks’ experience in the first paragraph?
A. To support an argument.
B. To introduce the topic.
C. To describe the main character.
D. To add some background information.
42. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Shoes.
B. Challenges.
C. Conventions.
D. Prostheses.
43. What can we say about the team’s products?
A. They are tailor-made.
B. They are mass-produced.
C. They cost a lot to make.
D. They take a long time to make.
44. What is Peeks’ attitude to his 3D-printed prostheses?
A. Doubtful.
B. Concerned.
C. Satisfied.
D. Worried.
45. Which of the following can best describe McCrobie’s team?
A. Generous and honest.
B. Responsible and caring.
C. Productive and sensitive.
D. Cooperative and proud.
【答案】41 B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. B

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章借Peeks使用3D打印的义肢得以能够悬挂圣诞彩灯的事例引入，介绍了一个团队研发的3D打印的义肢产品，分析了其优势。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For the first time in his life, Pete Peeks was able to use both hands to hang Christmas lights outside his house—thanks to the help of a high school robotics team. Peeks, 38, was born without the full use of his right hand, and though many may take hanging holiday lights for granted, Peeks said it was beyond his wildest dreams.(多亏了一个高中机器人团队的帮助，Pete Peeks有生以来第一次能够用双手在屋外悬挂圣诞彩灯。38岁的Peeks生来右手就不能完全使用，虽然很多人可能认为挂节日彩灯是理所当然的，但Peeks表示这超出了他最疯狂的梦想)”可知，Peeks右手不能完全使用，但因为机器人团队的帮助得以能够悬挂圣诞彩灯，这一奇妙的经历引出了下文对3D打印假肢技术的详细介绍。由此推知，第一段提到Peeks的经历是为了引出话题。故选B。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中Daniel McCrobie所说的话“Many of the prosthetics people can get the conventional way are very expensive, and even if you are fortunate enough to get coverage, children grow out of them like they grow out of shoes(人们通过传统方式获得的义肢很多都很昂贵，即使你很幸运地得到了假肢，孩子们长大后不再需要它们，就像他们长大后不再需要鞋子一样)”可知，传统的义肢价格昂贵且不容易获得，而且会因为孩子长大后身体的变化而无法使用，所以画线的them指代的是上文提到的prosthetics（义肢）。故选D。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The inexpensive production through 3D printing opens up access to more people who need prostheses, and also means that they can be more customized to the clients’ unique bodies and specific needs.(通过3D打印实现的廉价生产为更多需要义肢的人提供了机会，也意味着它们可以根据客户独特的身体和特定需求进行更多的定制)”可知，该团队的产品可以根据客户的特性和要求进行定制。故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Peeks所说的话“They went beyond expectations in terms of really assessing the situation and learning what my specific needs were(他们在评估情况和了解我的具体需求方面超出了我的预期)”和“They were able to make some measurements to make sure everything was fitted correctly.(他们能够做一些测量，以确保一切都是正确的)”可知，该团队提供的3D打印的义肢是根据Peeks的具体情况进行定制的，确保了一切数据的准确，超出了Peeks的预期。由此推知，Peeks是满意的。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“they can be more customized to the clients’ unique bodies and specific needs(它们可以根据客户独特的身体和特定需求进行更多的定制)”可知，团队设计产品时以客户的需求为导向，非常负责。根据最后一段中“That practice of giving is something McCrobie hopes will continue when he graduates.(McCrobie希望这种给予的做法能在他毕业后继续下去)”可知，团队创始人会坚持这种用科技真正造福有需要的人的做法，是充满关怀的。故选B。
C
Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood. A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction, known as embodied learning.
The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
“Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient (熟练的) at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction,” says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH’s Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
With regard to difficult letter sounds, she adds, “There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish. These sounds are particularly important because once children become proficient at them, they will be better readers.”
Associate professor Jacob Wienecke, who led the study, explains, “The primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start. The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.”
Previously, the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement. Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.
46. What were the participants required to do in the study?
A. To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
B. To learn new letters through repeated writing.
C. To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
D. To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
47. How can embodied learning get children actively involved?
A. By combining learning with games. B. By offering them chances to cooperate.
C. By inspiring them to overcome difficulties. D. By explaining instructions to them patiently.
48. What does Jacob expect of the research finding?
A. Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
B. Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
C. Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
D. Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
49. What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?
A. Children prefer learning step by step.
B. Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly
C. Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
D. Children’s learning still relies on adults’ instruction.
50. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Whole-body learning — a good start to children’s reading
B. Embodied learning — a booster for children’s reading speed
C. Children’s reading skills matter a lot in their literacy development
D. Children’s literacy development depends on the flexibility of their bodies
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全身学习，又称为体验式学习可以有助于培养孩子阅读技能。文章介绍了与之相关的研究过程和发现。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research included 149 children, aged 5 to 6, who had just started school. They were divided into three groups: one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds; a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms; and a control group that received traditional, seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.(这项研究包括149名5到6岁的孩子，他们刚刚开始上学。他们被分成三组:一组站起来，用他们的整个身体来塑造字母的发音；一群坐着的人，用手和手臂发出字母的声音；而对照组则接受传统的坐式教学，在此期间他们用手写字母)”可知，参与者在研究中被要求用不同的方法学习字母的读音。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The idea is that if, through play and movement, we can learn where their strengths truly lie, we’ll create a form of learning that combines reading with play, and that’s truly positive.(我们的想法是，如果通过游戏和运动，我们可以了解他们真正的优势所在，我们将创造一种将阅读与游戏结合起来的学习形式，这是真正积极的)”可知，体验式学习通过将学习与游戏相结合让孩子积极参与。故选A。

【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children’s reading of individual words. This was not possible, which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.(本研究还探讨了体验式学习是否会对儿童的单字阅读产生直接影响。这是不可能的，这可能是因为孩子们还处于读写能力发展的早期阶段，他们还不能使用他们的字母发音知识来阅读单词)”可知，最后一段想告诉我们孩子太小了，还不能聪明地运用他们的知识。故选B。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth’s ability to perform as students. Therefore, it’s important to develop reading skills during childhood.

People are being lured onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages. Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook — you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things — your city, your photo, your friends’ names — were set, by default, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy, it’s only the beginning, which is why I’m considering deactivating my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
51. What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal data
D. It provides a lot of information to its users
52. What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook
B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information

阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
At the age of 15, Roxanne Black-Weisheit was told that she got lupus, a systemic autoimmune (自身免疫) disease that occurs when one’s body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissues and organs. Shortly after, Black-Weisheit desperately sought emotional support. She wanted a friend who could truly understand her situation, and she figured there were others who needed this, too.
So, during her first year of college, she created Friends’ Health Connection (FHC), a non-profit organization that helped people with similar health conditions.
As she was starting FHC, lupus was destroying her kidney function. During her senior year of college, she had her first kidney transplant and 13 years later, she had her second one. Through it all, she didn’t forgo FHC. She’d even transformed her hospital room into an “office” and worked in her hospital bed.
After graduation, she secured enough funding to continue growing her organization, and it became her full-time job. But, unfortunately, lupus and kidney transplants weren’t the end of Black-Weisheit’s health issues. Five years ago, at 42, she had lymphoma.
Black-Weisheit’s new disease left her extremely weak and tired, and she knew she had to make a choice about FHC. “Since my time and energy were limited and my future was uncertain, the board and I decided to close our office. I wanted to devote all my energy to keeping my family life as normal as possible,” she explained.
Her career didn’t end there, though. When she started feeling better, she felt the urge to start working again. Using her experience from FHC, she started a new company — Schedule Authors.com, which helps other companies schedule different types of speakers for their events. This is now Black-Weisheit’s current job. But she missed running her own non-profit organization, so she started trying to figure out how to bring back FHC.
And, recently, she received some great news: A past FHC donor would provide her with a grant to get the organization running again.
