Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian has dedicated his emotional men’s 100-meter final run in Tokyo to star hurdler Liu Xiang, the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal on the track in the men’s 110 m hurdles in Athens 2004.

Finishing sixth in 9.98 seconds, Su is the first Chinese to qualify for the Olympic 100 m final after setting an Asian record of 9.83 seconds in a highly competitive semi-final. Before Su, the last time an Asian runner reached the final of the Olympic blockbuster event was at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles, where Japan’s Takayoshi Yoshioka finished last.

“I have always been in contact with Liu Xiang, and he is constantly encouraging me and supporting me.” Su told China Media Group after learning that Liu was singing his praises on social media. “When I broke the 10-second barrier, Liu was there. So, for me, he is not only my idol but also probably my god of luck. I am very grateful to him because he is really a trailblazer for our Chinese track and field team,” he said.

Liu held the world record in 110 m hurdles with a time of 12.88 seconds in 2006 but was affected by an Achilles problem in the latter stages of his career and pulled out of the Beijing and London Olympics due to recurring injuries.

Su highlighted the fact that before Liu, no Chinese athlete had ever won a medal in an Olympic sprint event and for all Liu’s injury records, he is an inspiration to all. “If Liu Xiang had not come to prominence, many people might not have dared to dream that we could appear in the final of the Olympic Games and that we Asians were able to win a track and field gold,” said Su. “I finished sixth in the 100 m final, and hopefully, I could also bring encouragement to younger athletes and drive more young Chinese players to break the 10-second barrier.”

24. Why did Su Bingtian mention Liu Xiang before the media in Tokyo?

A. To cheer himself up. B. To express his gratitude.

C. To make a comparison. D. To show he was ambitious.

25. What information can we get about Su Bingtian from paragraph 2 ?

A. He set a new record with a time of 9.83 seconds in the semi-final.

B. He was the first Asian to run in the Olympic 100 m final.

C. He was the second Asian to reach the Olympic 100 m semi-final.

D. He finished sixth in the Olympic men’s 110 m hurdles in Tokyo.

26. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “trailblazer” in paragraph 3?

A. coach. B. follower. C. volunteer. D. pioneer.

27. What’s the main reason why Liu Xiang dropped out of the Beijing and London Olympics?

A. He failed to qualify for them. B. His old injury recurred.

C. He was not fully prepared. D. He lost interest in the events.

C

On some Swedish trains, passengers carry their e-tickets in their hands---literally. About 3, 000 Swedes have chosen to insert grain-of-rice-sized microchips beneath the skin between their thumbs and index fingers (食指). The chips, which cost around $150, can hold personal details, credit card numbers and medical records.

They rely on Radio Frequency ID (RFID), a technology already used in payment cards, tickets and passports. By one estimate there are 10, 000 people with chip implants (移植物) around the world. Sweden, home to several microchip companies, has the largest share.

Fifty employees of Three Square Market, a Wisconsin-based firm, volunteered to receive chip implants that can be used to pay at vending machines (自动售货机) and log in to computers. Individuals can order do-it-yourself kits, which come with tools to insert the device, or attend “implant parties”, where a professional gives chips to a group. Sometimes they get T-shirts that say “I got chipped”.

Jowan Osterlund, the founder of Biohax, a Swedish firm, claims chips are more secure than mobile phones. But there are still some concerns. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a digital footprint when they interact with doors or printers. In 2004 a Mexican senior official and his staff had chips inserted in their arms that tracked who had accessed sensitive information.

So why take the risk? Convenience is one draw. Chip implants can be used wherever contactless IDs or payments are accepted. Sweden is well suited, as one of the world’s most cashless countries.

But the chips have little use unless companies play along. Few shops recognise chip implants yet. Even those organisations that do have had teething troubles. When Swedish rail officials began scanning (扫描) passengers’ microchips, they saw LinkedIn profiles rather than evidence of ticket purchases. For now the chips are used largely as digital business cards, keys or to store emergency documents such as wills.

So exhibitionism is another explanation. Chip enthusiasts include those who believe technology can perfect human bodies. Elon Musk, a successful business leader, has invested in tech that combines machines with human brains.

28 What do we know about some Swedes’ chip implants?

A. They are very expensive. B. They are easy to be inserted.

C. They can be added to T-shirts. D. They can be used in any local shop.

29. What does the example of a Mexican official and his staff tell us?

A. Chips are more secure than mobile phones.

B. People using chip implants risk being tracked.

C. Chip implants can interact with printers easily.

D. Biohax has a great influence on Mexican markets.

30. What is the sixth paragraph mainly about?

A. The limitations of chips. B. The wide applications of chips.

C. The efforts of different companies. D. The procedure for boarding a train.

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

A. How Sweden becomes a cashless country.

B. How Radio Frequency ID is applied in Sweden.

C. Why Sweden is home to big microchip companies.

D. Why Swedes are inserting microchips into their bodies.

D

In my years in the classroom, I have had the pleasure of teaching several children who have either one or two artists as parents. These children, who have a higher than average exposure to art and the media for creating it, possess some qualities that many other children do not have: in addition to their artistic talent, I have observed that they usually read and write better than their peers. My conclusion is that their exposure to art affects other aspects of their learning.

I suggest that parents expand their definition of art. If you are a baker or a cook, or if you like to arrange flowers, you are an artist. These expressions of creativity are as valuable as those of painters and the other people we call artists. If you are a scientist and enjoy inventing and experimenting, you may include yourself in the definition of "artist".

Art is a delightful way through which you can record the development of your child's growth. Just as you will notice that writing and reading improve with age, so does artwork. The role of parents and teachers is to expose children to a variety of materials so that they can create art. Once the variety is offered, children will then have a choice as to whether they want to use the materials or not.

Creating art is a fine way for children to make choices and solve problems. Every step involves making a decision: what color to use, how to make a line, what size to make something. With every choice, the object becomes more and more their own.

Everyone has an imagination. Art takes it a step further. Through art, children create something that, until that point, was only imagined. Thus, they create visual presentation of abstract ideas.

Children who may be having difficulties in other parts of the school curriculum may find an expressive outlet through art. It's a way to uncover talent that may not be seen otherwise. Art is a means of communicating ideas, feelings, and solutions in a way other than verbally or written.

Families can create a harmonious balance in their children's lives when they make plans for the arts. Be there to appreciate and encourage them during every step of the creative process.

32. What has the author found through his teaching career?

A. Kids are more likely to be affected by their parents.

B. Artistic talent is the most important quality of kids.

C. Kids whose parents are artists can usually read and write better.

D. Learning art can make kids have easy access to success.

33. What does the author want to tell us in paragraph 2?

A. The definition of art is broad. B. It's easy to work as an artist.

C. Artists are full of creativity. D. Scientists are similar to artists.

34. What should parents do to develop kids' art?

A. Set an example to their kids. B. Help them make their decisions.

C. Inspire their imaginative ability. D. Expose them to various materials.

35. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Advice on kids' colorful life. B. The importance of arts to kids.

C. Ways to develop interest in arts. D. The effect of arts on kids' study.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满-ss;;s;分12.5分)

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You’ve studied hard, you’ve got the grades and now you’re off to university! This is the journey that many students are taking, but how prepared are they to leave home, stand on their own two feet and be self-sufficient?  _____36_____

Of course flying the nest to go to university is the opportunity of a lifetime, but to make the most of it needs some preparation before you arrive. _____37_____ You’ll no longer be able to rely on Mum and Dad to feed you or clear up after you, so try to learn how to make some dishes that are quick and easy to prepare.  Graduate Peter Rogers told the BBC: “I didn’t really have anything other than basic cookery skills before I went to university and found learning to cook was reasonably enjoyable.” Other things to do while at home is to practise some of those household chores, like operating the washing machine or ironing your clothes!

______38______ That’s because students will probably be living with others such as in a flat share or shared campus-based accommodation. This will also require taking responsibility for managing their finances because, apart from tuition fees, accommodation is likely to be the biggest cost for students living away from home. However, the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students study found only about half of the would-be students surveyed identified rent as the biggest expense and concluded that this suggests more should be done to help in the transition between school and university.

______39______ They not just rely on old friends at home. Going to university requires meeting new people and making new friends. This often begins in Freshers’ Week although journalism student Emmeke Megannety warns that: “People starting university need to remember that the people you meet in your first week will not necessarily be your friends for life.”______40______

A. These domestic skills will be by no means useless.

B. This means learning life skills such as cooking and cleaning.

C. Besides being excited and nervous, many students are deeply ill-informed about what to expect.

D. New students should be self-centered.

E. But whatever your expectations, it’s good to be prepared for the time of your life.

F. You can fulfill your dreams on your own.

G. New students are going to have to be sociable as well.

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。

One day, my brother and I were alone in our apartment, which was on the first floor of the building. The reason was that my parents had both gone for a ball party and had left me in charge of everything. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV. All of a sudden, the doorbell rang. Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it.

Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them.

Without any thinking, my brother said, "No." He asked if we would like to buy some comic books (连环画), which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents' permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention (意图) to enter our house.

Then, I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother's hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen. Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie (解开) the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead.

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。

The doors were all locked from the outside and what was more, I did not have the keys.
