Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.
Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967. After graduation, Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.
Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 1971 she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.
Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.
Cole continued to write both nonfiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.
24. When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.
A. was very popular with children
B. got inspired by one of her teachers
C. began her career of writing novels
D. knew what she would do in the future
25. What does the underlined phrase probably mean?
A. made a fortune B. made a promise C. got ideas D. obtained help
26. What do we know about Joanna Cole?
A. She is the most famous woman writer in America.
B. She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.
C. She is an expert at getting science across to readers.
D. She has made great contributions to science.
27. What kind of person is Cole in the passage?
A. positive and brave B. popular and reliable
C. serious and honest D. talented and creative
C
Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. “It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars,” NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. “What we’re dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water,” said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA’s goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.
The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there’s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth—something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
28. According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.
A. salty water B. standing water C. rocket fuel D. human beings
29.Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars．
A. state B. source C. temperature D. taste
30. What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A. The distance from the sun B. The favorable climate
C. The gravity of the earth D. The salt in it
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Streams of Water Spotted on Mars B. Astronauts will Land on Mars
C. NASA’s Mars Exploration Program D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars
D
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. The laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg; the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
32. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Neither can be put to an end.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Both are about where to draw the line.
33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens cause their parents to mislead them.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
34. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.
A. give orders to the other B. gain respect from the other
C. know more than the other D. get the other to behave properly
35. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions for the parent-teen problems B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts D. Future of the parent-teen relationship

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 Enjoy Life As a Teen
Maybe teens are not the best years of your life, but you should still learn to make the most of your high school days. 36 .
1. Learn to appreciate small things. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a family that loves you, or simply being born in this world, remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. 37 Remember these are the last few years you are able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult, but make sure you prepare yourself for when you actually become an adult,
2. Choose your friends wisely. 38 Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just the things you have. These are people who shop at the same store as you; not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.
3. Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. 39 Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.
4. 40 . Video games, for example, are good if you're the type who can get into that kind of thing. You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical. Use your "hobby time" to start developing and uncovering passions.
5. Work at a job you can enjoy. Working is a great way to gain experience and to meet other people. Prior work experience will help you find a job more easily. If you can't find work, just volunteer or make your own job.
A. Small things may make a great difference to your life.
B. In fact, many of the "friends" you have when you are popular are not true friends.
C. Following are some tips for you.
D. You can pursue interests you enjoy.
E. Try to take part in various social activities.
F. While you only need 4 or 5 close friends, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try to meet new people.
G. Be happy and life will reward you.
第三部分 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）
Every act of kindness starts with something small, something we all can and should do every single day. I’m Will Ruhio, one of the 41 of BYUtv’s Random Acts show. We take hidden cameras to unexpected places to 42 random acts of kindness. We’ve filmed acts 43 from building disabled-friendly facilities(设施) for those who are badly 44 them but can’t afford them to returning a lost wallet.
On Random Acts, it may be a neighbor or a colleague who recognizes a need and 45 an incredible chain reaction of service. 46 the story of Emmalene Meyers for example. Like many young girls, Emmalene was 47 to be a ballet dancer, but her physical disability makes even everyday tasks a(n) 48 . Instead of seeing a limitation, Emmalene’s friend Lily 49 an opportunity. Lily imagined Emmalene’s dream being brought to life onstage and persuaded Random Acts to help make her plan 50 .
So, where can you start? The key is to be like Lily: look for an opportunity to make a 51 to those in need, and then take action to make it happen. Being 52 and involved in service is 53 like any other goal you want to achieve. You have to 54 it.
After two seasons of hosting Random Acts, the joy of 55 burdens and brightening lives doesn’t fade. I sometimes 56 Random Acts might lose its feature eventually, but that couldn’t be further from the 57 . When I finally meet the people we’ve been working to 58 and see their genuine shock and appreciation, it 59 me in the feel every time. I cry more than anyone else on the show.
Be that person doing acts of kindness out of the 60 of your heart — be the nice you want to see in the world!
41. A. photographers B. actors C. viewers D. hosts

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式(每空至多3词)。
When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that 61 (matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 62 , I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 63 (forget). They seldom do something in return.
Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 64 (meet) him at the station. 65 arriving home, much to my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 66 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 67 shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.
Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and 68 (worry), but things may not turn out as badly as 69 (expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, “Life is 70 best classroom one can never get.”

Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children’s book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.
Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967. After graduation, Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.
Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 1971 she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.
Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.
Cole continued to write both nonfiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.
24. When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.
A. was very popular with children
B. got inspired by one of her teachers
C. began her career of writing novels
D. knew what she would do in the future
25. What does the underlined phrase probably mean?
A. made a fortune B. made a promise C. got ideas D. obtained help

C. She is an expert at getting science across to readers.
D. She has made great contributions to science.
27. What kind of person is Cole in the passage?
A. positive and brave B. popular and reliable
C. serious and honest D. talented and creative

Mars(火星) appears to be flowing with small streams of salty water, at least in the summer, scientists reported Monday. “It suggests that it would be possible for there to be life today on Mars,” NASA’s science mission chief, John Grunsfeld, said at a news conference on September 28, 2015.
The streams are about 12 to 15 feet wide and 300 feet or more long, scientists said. “What we’re dealing with is wet soil, thin layers of wet soil, not standing water,” said Aifred McEwen of the University of Arizona at Tueson, the principal scientist for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter’s high-resolution imaging experiment.
Because liquid water is essential to life, the findings could have major implications for the possibility of Martian life. The researchers said further exploration is needed to determine whether microscopic life exists on the planet.
The presence of liquid water could also make life easier for astronauts visiting or living on Mars. Water could be used for drinking and for creating oxygen and rocket fuel. NASA’s goal is to send humans there in the 2030s.
The evidence of flowing water consists largely of dark, narrow streaks(条痕) on the surface that tend to appear and grow during the warmest Martian months and fade the rest of the year.
Mars is extremely cold even in summer, and the streaks are in places where the temperature is as low as minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But salt can lower the freezing point of water and melt ice.
The source of the water is a mystery. Scientists noted it could be melting ice. It could be an underground aquifer, which is rock or sand that can hold water. It is possibly water vapor from the thin Martian atmosphere. Or it may be a combination Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA’s Mars exploration program, said the only definitive way for now to determine whether there’s life on Mars is to collect rocks and soil for analysis on Earth—something a U. S. lander set for lift-off in 2020 will do.
28. According to John Grunsfeld, there seems to be on Mars.
A. salty water B. standing water C. rocket fuel D. human beings
29.Scientists are uncertain about the of the water on Mars．
A. state B. source C. temperature D. taste
30. What matters to the existence of liquid water on Mars?
A. The distance from the sun B. The favorable climate
C. The gravity of the earth D. The salt in it
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Streams of Water Spotted on Mars B. Astronauts will Land on Mars
C. NASA’s Mars Exploration Program D. A Breakthrough in the Exploration of Mars
D
For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner．Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is. The laws of physics or the proper way to break an egg; the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something-and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.
32. Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?
A. Both can continue for generations. B. Neither can be put to an end.
C. Neither has any clear winner. D. Both are about where to draw the line.
33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The teens cause their parents to mislead them.
B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.
C. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.
D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.
34. Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.
A. give orders to the other B. gain respect from the other
C. know more than the other D. get the other to behave properly
35. What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Solutions for the parent-teen problems B. Examples of the parent-teen war
C. Causes for the parent-teen conflicts D. Future of the parent-teen relationship

How to Enjoy Life As a Teen
Maybe teens are not the best years of your life, but you should still learn to make the most of your high school days. 36 .
1. Learn to appreciate small things. Whether it's having a computer, having friends, having a family that loves you, or simply being born in this world, remember that the point of life is for you to enjoy it. 37 Remember these are the last few years you are able to enjoy yourself without having to worry about the responsibility of an adult, but make sure you prepare yourself for when you actually become an adult,
2. Choose your friends wisely. 38 Try to have friends that like you who you are, not just the things you have. These are people who shop at the same store as you; not someone who will sympathize with you when your dog dies.
3. Be sociable. Participating in clubs, activities, and sports increases your chances of meeting new friends. 39 Participating gives you something to do instead of sitting bored at home and wallowing in self-pity.
4. 40 . Video games, for example, are good if you're the type who can get into that kind of thing. You should also find a hobby that is meaningful or practical. Use your "hobby time" to start developing and uncovering passions.

C. Following are some tips for you.
D. You can pursue interests you enjoy.

Every act of kindness starts with something small, something we all can and should do every single day. I’m Will Ruhio, one of the 41 of BYUtv’s Random Acts show. We take hidden cameras to unexpected places to 42 random acts of kindness. We’ve filmed acts 43 from building disabled-friendly facilities(设施) for those who are badly 44 them but can’t afford them to returning a lost wallet.
On Random Acts, it may be a neighbor or a colleague who recognizes a need and 45 an incredible chain reaction of service. 46 the story of Emmalene Meyers for example. Like many young girls, Emmalene was 47 to be a ballet dancer, but her physical disability makes even everyday tasks a(n) 48 . Instead of seeing a limitation, Emmalene’s friend Lily 49 an opportunity. Lily imagined Emmalene’s dream being brought to life onstage and persuaded Random Acts to help make her plan 50 .
So, where can you start? The key is to be like Lily: look for an opportunity to make a 51 to those in need, and then take action to make it happen. Being 52 and involved in service is 53 like any other goal you want to achieve. You have to 54 it.
After two seasons of hosting Random Acts, the joy of 55 burdens and brightening lives doesn’t fade. I sometimes 56 Random Acts might lose its feature eventually, but that couldn’t be further from the 57 . When I finally meet the people we’ve been working to 58 and see their genuine shock and appreciation, it 59 me in the feel every time. I cry more than anyone else on the show.
Be that person doing acts of kindness out of the 60 of your heart — be the nice you want to see in the world!

When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that 61 (matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 62 , I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 63 (forget). They seldom do something in return.
Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 64 (meet) him at the station. 65 arriving home, much to my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 66 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 67 shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.
Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and 68 (worry), but things may not turn out as badly as 69 (expect).
