Becoming You,BOn a flight from Dallas, Texas, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to visit a friend in 2008, event planner Paige Chenault daydreamed about the elaborate birthday parties she'd throw for her daughter one day. Then, flipping through a magazine, she saw a photo of an impoverished Haitian boy, his belly bloated. “I thought, This kid has nothing,” Paige says.The image stayed with her, and she resolved to do something to help. “I decided I would use my talents to throw birthday parties for homeless kids,” Paige says.Finally, in January 2012, Paige launched the Birthday Party Project, a nonprofit organization, and recruited friends and family to help decorate Dallas's 75-occupant Family Gateway Shelter with balloons and streamers, celebrating the birthdays of 1I boys and girls, with 60 more homeless kids in attendance. “That first party was better than I could have ever imagined,” says Paige.Now Paige and her staff of three paid employees work with regional volunteers to plan monthly themed parties at 15 shelters across the country, some of which house abused or abandoned kids. Each child celebrating a birthday that month gets a $30 gift, a decorative place mat, and an individual cake or cupcake.One of Paige's favorite parts of each party is when the kids make a wish and blow out the candles. “They rarely get a chance to dream big,” says Paige. Her daughter, Lizzie, now seven, often helps out at the parties. Paige says, “The one thing I've always wanted is for my kid to be generous.”24. What did Paige want to do for her daughter?A. Daydream about her.    B. Throw her away.C. Hold a birthday party.    D. Take her to visit a friend.25. Why did Paige launch the Birthday Party Project?A. To show her interest in throwing parties.B. To found a nonprofit organization.C. To reunite friends and family.D. To resolve to help the homeless children.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. Dallas’s 75-occupant Family Gateway Shelter was decorated with balloons and streamers.B. The organization celebrated the birthdays of 11 kids.C. All the shelters house abused or abandoned kids.D. Kids can spend $30 to celebrate their birthday.27. Which word is best to describe Paige?A. sensitive   B. disciplined   C. generous   D. loyalCThe mosquito is a troublesome and sometimes dangerous insect.  Their bites itch (发痒) and can carry dangerous diseases, like malaria and yellow fever. However, researchers from Britain and Japan recently discovered how mosquitoes fly. This knowledge, they said, helps find ways to design new flying devices.Mosquitoes' wings are small and have an uncommon shape. Because of this, it is hard to believe that they are able to fly. So how does their flight make possible? The team of scientists from Britain and Japan solved the puzzle. They used high-speed cameras and computer images to understand the rules of how the insect moves its wings to stay in the air. Researchers at the University of Oxford took images of mosquitoes' wing movements. They set up eight high-speed cameras that takel0 000 images each second.Simon Walker, a researcher at the University of Oxford, said, “Normally to record an insect you need at least two cameras, perfectly more, so you've got enough views of an insect because with two camera views you can then take any point on an insect and calculate(计算) its 3D coordinates.” They find mosquitoes fly by moving their wings in several different directions.The research team believes the mosquitoes' wing movements could help inventors design new flying devices. Walker said that existing unmanned flying devices or drones do not work very well outside because wind can affect their flight. “Insects, on the other hand, deal really well with even quite windy conditions. So understanding bow they can do this is going to be advantageous to us in the future.”These researchers said that, more importantly, humans can benefit a lot from understanding how mosquitoes fly.28. Why is mosquitoes' flight considered to be a mystery?A. They have little and unusual wings. B. They have heavy bodies.C. They have large and strange wings. D. They’re small in size.29. How does a mosquito fly?A. It flies by the night light. B. It rises and falls at times.C. It moves its wings in different sides. D. It shakes its wings non-stop.30. Why doesn't a drone work very well outside?A. Because it can't fly everywhere.B. Because it has no man in it.C. Because it can't move in rainy conditions.D. Because wind can have an effect on their flight.31. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The mystery of a drone and the effect on it.B. The mystery of the mosquitoes' flight and the application.C. The mystery of the high-speed cameras and the images they take.D. The mystery of the dangerous insect and the diseases they carry.DWhat's the first thing that comes into your mind when you think of wheat straw(麦秆)? Most people would probably just see it as a waste in a farmer's field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.The earliest straw-weaving(草编的) products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China's Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty.Straw weaving is a method of manufacturing daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产)in 2008.Wu explains the process of straw weaving. Selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch(素描) the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the most difficult part is to make it real.In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which yield low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend daily use and pursue the beauty and art of straw culture to help the craft survive,” Wu says.From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture. “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products," she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.32. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products?A. Their major uses.     B. Their historic origins,C. Their cultural value.     D. Their manufacturing process.33. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui?A. Making the artworks vivid.   B. Drawing sketches on paper.C. Selecting suitable materials.   D. Preserving finished products.34. What does the underlined word “transcend” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Rely on.   B. Turn to.   C. Cast away.   D. Go beyond.35. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph?A. Craftsmen should innovate the craft based on traditional culture.B. Pursuing fashion should be the first priority for craftspeople.C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw-weaving techniques.D. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to communicate better with other peopleAs people who live in society we need to communicate daily with other people——friends, families, co-workers, our partners and so on, regardless of whether we like social relationships.   36   There are five tips to help you.Adapt your language. It is necessary that you know how to adapt your language to the training and educational level of the person you are speaking with and to the context where the conversation takes place.   37   Sometimes, when trying to generate a conversation, people say things without really thinking about them. These expressions can give us a wrong idea of what a person really is like. Give yourself a little more time to continue the conversation, so you can get to know the other person better.Look into the eyes. If you do not look directly into the eyes when you speak, it can give the feeling that you would like to be somewhere else or that the conversation ends as soon as possible. But looking very fixedly without looking away can make the other person uncomfortable.   38   Make people feel comfortable when talking to you.   39   If you detect these types of signals, it is best to make people feel relaxed by making a joke, adapting your oral and gestural language or showing that you care about the person and what they tell you.Practice active listening. Looking into the eyes, nodding or adding small comments is what is known as active listening. During the conversation, it is necessary to remain silent.   40   Do not have a passive attitude with the subject, which shows symptoms of interest in what they tell you.A. Do not judge ahead of time.B. Sometimes, people get nervous when talking to you.C. Body language can help us solve this problem.D. It is unnecessary to learn how to express yourself correctly.E. However, it is more important to give signals that you are paying attention.F. So the ideal is to find a balance, then forget about it and do it naturally.G. Learning to make yourself understood and interact correctly with others is very important.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I came to my new school three years ago, I was surprised at how lonely I felt.

Her family had just moved here from New York, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now?” Mary grumbled(抱怨), mostly to herself.“What's that?” Her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Mary mumbled(嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know, and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.On the day of the grand opening, Mary's parents were busy the whole day, welcoming customers into the restaurant, which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses, Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table.A few minutes later, Mary’s mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.”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。Para. 1“Mom, I don't want to be out there!"______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Para. 2Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
