B篇

I’d been telling Sandy about my children, Emma and Tucker, aged seven and four. Sandy, in turn, was telling me about her four children: Jane, Joe, Christopher and eighteen-month-old Kim. She seemed so pleased to have kids move into the neighborhood. That was, until the door opened and out ran Emma and Sam.

Sam was our shiny black dog we had adopted three years earlier. Sam loved to hang with the kids, serving as both playmate and protector. But Sandy began to back up as Sam approached, I had never met anyone who feared dogs. As I saw her reaction, I quickly grabbed Sam by the collar and made him sit.

“I have to get the kids ready to go to their grandmother’s,” Sandy said as she backed away from me, graciously trying to remove herself from the situation.

Suddenly her door opened, and out ran her kids. “Don’t go near it!” she screamed. The kids were circled around their mom, closely watching Sam. Emma showed Joe the proper way to slowly approach a dog. Sam accepted Joe’s affection. The kids were won over, but I knew it would take some time before Sandy would change.

From that time forward, we were careful not to let Sam cross the street to our neighbors without my company. One day, the kids were across the street playing together. Then I noticed the eighteen-month-old heading toward a little hill. Seeing a car approaching, I screamed, “Watch the baby!”

Sam stormed out the door and ran across the street toward the baby. He ran up the hill, stopping just short of knocking into her. He gently pushed her away from the approaching car. The kids, too involved in play to realize the seriousness of the situation a few minutes ago, ran toward her and Sam. The kids all cheered that Sam had come to play.

Within a year, Sam made friends with all the neighbors, and almost every family on our street had a dog. Even Sandy would occasionally come and give Sam a hug.

24．How did Sandy feel at the coming of the new neighbors?

A．Excited that her kids could have friends. B．Curious why they had adopted a dog.

C．Fearful that the dog might hurt her kids. D．Unsure whether the kids could fit in well.

25．What did Sandy’s kids do at the sight of Sam?

A．They held him by the collar to make him sit. B．They formed a circle to protect their mom.

C．They prepared to withdraw from the dog. D．They looked at Sam with watchful eyes.

26．How did Sam save Kim out of danger?

A．By running behind and barking to warn. B．By rushing to Sandy’s house to get help.

C．By rushing around to her front to push her. D．By jumping to the front of the coming car.

27．Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．A Considerate Act Helps Fit in Well B．A Doggy Push Reaches Far Beyond

C．Dogs Work Magic in Crucial Moments D．Dogs Are Children’s Best Safety Guards

C篇

Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.

The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases. Swot will scan the seas and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations(高度)around smaller currents and eddies(漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.

By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation(外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.

“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total gamechanger,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.

28．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?

A．Technology. B．Climate. C．Oceans. D．Water.

29．What is the major mission of Swot satellite?

A．To identify when global warming is worsened.

B．To explore where oceans absorb heat and CO2.

C．To study how oceans influence climate change.

D．To explain why greenhouse gas comes into being.

30．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?

A．The high-definition computer. B．Advanced radar technology.

C．The three-dimensional image. D．An accurate map of elevations.

31．Which can be the best title for the text?

A．A Solution to Climate Change. B．A Breakthrough in Space Travel.

C．Successful Launch of Swot Satellite. D．First Global Water Survey from Space.

D篇

Cyberattacks are like thievery in the dark-mostly invisible and highly dangerous. As proved on Sept 5, the cyberattack on the email system of Northwestem Polytechnical University in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, was launched by the US National Security Agency.

The cyberattack was launched against the university on April 12. The university is known for its education and research programs in the fields of astronautics and marine technology engineering, reported China Daily.

The university became aware of the attack by noticing phishing(网络钓鱼) emails with Trojan horse programs. Such emails, which were disguised as research reviews, invitations to academic events and opportunities to study abroad, were sent to teachers and students at the university. By tricking them into clicking the links and giving away their sign-in information, the attacker aimed to steal university data.

However, apart from the phishing emails which were visible to the public, the investigation team, including the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and internet security company 360, revealed in a report that over 40 cyberattack weapons were used. The weapons were used to steal core technology data, such as network management data and core operational data. It thus confirmed that the attack had severely endangered national security.

The incident showed the public a glimpse of cyberattacks between nations. Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said in the report that national-level hacker armies and organizations have become the biggest threat to China’s cybersecurity. “Cyberattacks launched by a country have clear targets. Hackers may first penetrate(秘密潜入) key information systems in China and wait for the right opportunities to steal information.” Zhou said.

Cyberattacks may seem far away from our daily activities online, but every internet user, no matter young or old, is a potential victim. For cyberattacks between countries, we may be unknowingly used to breach(破坏) our country’s network security. One simple way of preventing cyberattacks is to be watchful-raising your awareness of cybercrimes and keeping an eye on anything unusual when online.

32．Why did the US National Security Agency launch the cyberattack?

A．To damage key systems. B．To steal personal information.

C．To gain access to sensitive data. D．To seek certain financial benefits.

33．What aspect of cyberattacks between nations does paragraph 5 tell us about?

A．Their origins. B．Their purpose.

C．Their influence. D．Their characteristics.

34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Some people are safe from cyberattacks.

B．Cyberattacks are not difficult to detect.

C．Anyone can be used to threaten national security.

D．Cyberattacks are the biggest threat to national security.

35．What does the author suggest people do to prevent cyberattacks?

A．Watch the news regularly. B．Be alert to anything strange online.

C．Use the internet as little as possible. D．Learn in-depth about cyber crimes

People have been playing rock, paper, scissors for about 2,000 years. It’s played everywhere. Many people think the game is all luck: their probability of winning seems about the same as their chances of losing. ____36____ There are patterns in how people make decisions. Although knowing the psychology of this game isn’t a sure ticket to winning a match, it can help.

The game is mainly about predicting and reading your opponents. ____37____ Research has shown that there is a slight preference for people to begin by playing rock. There are different theories about why — it could be because it is mentioned first in the name of the game, or it could be because rock is similar to a fist which seems powerful. Thus, if we know that, it gives us an edge — just play paper.

____38____ Research shows that people who lose a hand tend to change. So there is a reasonable chance that our opponents will change to scissors or paper. That gives us our second edge — just play scissors and we should either win or draw. But this isn’t an exact science. What if it doesn’t go to plan and your opponents win? ____39____.

If we lose the previous hand then our opponents might reasonably expect us to switch to something else. ___40____. Hopefully, they’ll switch, expecting us to switch, and it should improve our chances. Maybe sometimes the less predictable you are, the better chance you have of winning.

A．But the outcome of the game is not random.

B．So what if you could predict their first hand?

C．Perhaps they know a bit of game strategy too.

D．If our opponents lose, they’ll probably switch.

E．“Practice, practice, practice” is the key to success.

F．This gives us our final edge — surprise them by not switching.

G．Look for patterns in either your opponent’s moves or behavior.

This was especially true in brain regions that help us to ___46___ rewards and pay attention.

This ___47___ usually happens between ages 13 and 14. The brain seems to___48___ new needs that come with youth. As we ___49___, our survival depends less and less on mom’s support. ____50____, we rely more and more on our ____51____-friends and others closer to our own age.

However, these areas in the youthful brain don’t stop ____52____ mom. It’s just that unfamiliar voices become more ____53____ and worthy of attention.

67．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 afternoon was hot and fierce as the midday sun shone with all its might. Richard had just gotten down from a truck and could barely stand on the hot road. He breathed heavily, looking around for a frozen drink. But as far as his eyes could see, there was not a drop of water. Suddenly, he noticed a little bike lying there.

Richard wondered and approached the spot, staring with shock at a water bottle and a small pink helmet lying nearby. He went closer and noticed fresh little muddy footsteps disappearing into the woods...It seemed unusual for a little kid to be all alone there. “Something was wrong,” so he cupped his hands around his mouth and called out to the child.

“Hello, anyone there? Hello?”

Just a she changed course, he heard a faint (模糊的) cry from the heart of the woods. It was a little girl’s cry for help.

“HELP...I’M STUCK...HELP...”

“I’m coming. Hold on,” Richard rushed toward the voice. A she got nearer and nearer, Richard heard the sound of running water. The fierce current in the muddy-brown river flooded through the rocks.

“Don’t give up! I’m coming!” her an screaming after noticing a little girl and her dog holding on to a log floating on the river. The current was washing away everything on its course, and the girl was lucky the log was stuck on to something under the surface. But that would not hold on for long as the current grew faster and stronger.

Richard was running out of time. He could not think of anything immediately. His only hope was to somehow pull the two out to the shore before they were washed toward the edge of the waterfall, which was just meters away. Just then, his mind acted fast, and he ran back to get something. “Hold on...I’ll be right back,” he assured her.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Moments later, Richard returned with along jungle vine (藤蔓) tied around his waist.

Richard was glad that he had saved them in time and then asked how the girl got there.
