12．（10分）Everyone knows what makes a good story.Our hero starts their journey as a flawed（有缺陷的） being.In scene after scene，they face challenges that push them down new paths.By the end of the tale，they overcome setbacks and become a better person in the process.
We love these plots in the novels we read but the principles of a good story offer much more than entertainment.Recent research shows that the narratives（叙述）we tell ourselves about our lives can powerfully help us recover from stress.People who generate tales of struggling and turning over a new leaf from their own lives appear to have much better mental health.Professor Dan McAdams put forward this idea and discovered that whether someone can describe having had some control over events in their past is an important predictor of mental health.Another key theme involved is finding some kind of positive meaning after stressful events.
McAdams invited 14 and 15﹣year﹣olds to join in an experiment to write about their experiences of failure and success.Half of them were then given extra instructions to describe the ways they had made their success a reality and how the failure had changed them for the better.Eight weeks later，members of this group reported greater persistence（坚持） and better grades in their schoolwork.
Exciting as these results are，some experts sound a few notes of caution.They worry that，hearing about the power of self﹣narratives，many people may feel they have to find a positive turning point in life.If they can't，they could end up feeling guilty about having somehow "failed".
Clearly，self﹣narratives aren't the panacea.Nevertheless，if you hope for self﹣improvement，you can use the findings to good effect.By recognizing ourselves as the hero at the center of our own struggles，we can all become the author of our own destiny and change ourselves for the better.

（1）What does the research focus on？ 　 　
A.The causes of stress.
B.The principles of narrative.
C.The connection between struggle and well﹣being.
D.The link between mental health and self﹣narratives.
（2）Why is the experiment mentioned in paragraph 3？ 　 　
A.To give proof.
B.To make predictions.
C.To draw a conclusion.
D.To make comparisons.
（3）What does the underlined word "panacea" in the last paragraph refer to？ 　 　
A.Attempt to get rid of worries.
B.Means of recognizing yourself.
C.Solution to adolescent problems.
D.Guarantee to become better people.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ 　 　
A.Embrace Life Struggles
B.Be Your Own Hero
C.Ways to Make a Good Story
D.The Power of Self﹣improvement
13．（10分）Sharks may be able to smell blood from miles away，but they probably don't know how red it is.It is likely that they only see the world in black and white according to a study that is the first to look into sharks' visual systems.
A team at the University of Western Australia studied the visual systems of many different species of sharks and what they have found is diversity in eye design that mirrors the ecological and behavioral diversity of the shark species.The team looked at the retinal cells of 17 species of sharks caught from Queensland and Western Australia and found out that the cells are responsible for sharks' color blindness.
According to the study，these animals are color﹣blind due to the light receptors they have got in their eyes.There are two main types of light﹣sensitive ceils to allow animals to see：rod cells help measure brightness because they are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart，while various types of cone cells help distinguish colors.They looked at the structure of sharks' rod and cone cells in the retina.Human eyes come with red，green and blue cone variations，while sharks appear to have just one kind of cone cell.
The study suggests that contrast against the background，rather than color itself，might be more important for object detection by sharks.Costumes that camouflage swimmers' bodies in sea water are less likely to draw a shark's attention than ones with bright，solid colors that emphasize their outline. "It's the high contrast against the water rather than the color itself which is probably attractive to sharks，" said Professor Nathan Hart who led the study.

（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？ 　 　
A.Stressing the importance of the study.
B.Showing the features of sharks' eye design.
C.Giving the process and the result of the study.
D.Telling the functions of sharks' visual systems.
（2）What leads to sharks' blindness to color according to Paragraph 3？ 　 　
A.Their less sensitive rod cells.
B.Their lack of various cone cells.
C.Their inability to tell apart colors.
D.Their strong sensitivity to brightness.
（3）What can be inferred in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A.The color plays a key part in sharks' detecting objects.
B.You should make your outline stand out in the sea for your safety.
C.You should be dressed in bright color to avoid sharks' attention in the sea.
D.Sharks are more interested in sharp contrast against the water rather than your body.
（4）What's the writing purpose of the text？ 　 　
A.To challenge a traditional belief.
B.To inform us a scientific discovery.
C.To amuse us with interesting information.
D.To raise our awareness of protecting wild animals.

My New Brother
I was in my room，feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with "my brother" Henry.He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
"Kirstie，come here，" my mom called.Following her voice，I found her outside the bathroom，holding a wet book.She gave the book a shake. "Henry's book was in the bathtub.Did you put it there？" She glared at me，something she had never done before Henry came to our home.I hadn't wet his book on purpose.Raindrops fell from my eyes.To make matters worse，she promised to buy him a new copy.My heart ached.Henry was stealing my mother's love.He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile，Henry was nearby，absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot （绳结），something he liked to do.Why did a boy like him like doing girly work？It seemed far from manly.
Soon，it was time to set off to the community theatre.As Henry walked ahead of us to the car，my mom took me aside and said in a low voice， "It will be Henry's first time onstage.Be kind to him，honey." I nodded but sighed.I hadn't always found it this difficult to be kind.But since Henry had moved in，everything felt different.The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me.With Henry involved，it didn't seem so special any more.
Finally，it was our stage time.My heart beat wildly.I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while.As we kids lined up，ready to act out our short play，I suddenly realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring （拉绳） on my skirt.Sure enough，my skirt began to drop.I could hear the audience laughing.Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt，I could feel my face burst into flames.If only someone could help me out.
续写要求：
（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。
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment.___________
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.___________

13．（10分）Sharks may be able to smell blood from miles away，but they probably don't know how red it is.It is likely that they only see the world in black and white according to a study that is the first to look into sharks' visual systems.
A team at the University of Western Australia studied the visual systems of many different species of sharks and what they have found is diversity in eye design that mirrors the ecological and behavioral diversity of the shark species.The team looked at the retinal cells of 17 species of sharks caught from Queensland and Western Australia and found out that the cells are responsible for sharks' color blindness.
According to the study，these animals are color﹣blind due to the light receptors they have got in their eyes.There are two main types of light﹣sensitive ceils to allow animals to see：rod cells help measure brightness because they are highly sensitive to light and allow night vision but cannot tell colors apart，while various types of cone cells help distinguish colors.They looked at the structure of sharks' rod and cone cells in the retina.Human eyes come with red，green and blue cone variations，while sharks appear to have just one kind of cone cell.
The study suggests that contrast against the background，rather than color itself，might be more important for object detection by sharks.Costumes that camouflage swimmers' bodies in sea water are less likely to draw a shark's attention than ones with bright，solid colors that emphasize their outline. "It's the high contrast against the water rather than the color itself which is probably attractive to sharks，" said Professor Nathan Hart who led the study.

（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？ 　C　
A.Stressing the importance of the study.
B.Showing the features of sharks' eye design.
C.Giving the process and the result of the study.
D.Telling the functions of sharks' visual systems.
（2）What leads to sharks' blindness to color according to Paragraph 3？ 　B　
A.Their less sensitive rod cells.
B.Their lack of various cone cells.
C.Their inability to tell apart colors.
D.Their strong sensitivity to brightness.
（3）What can be inferred in the last paragraph？ 　D　
A.The color plays a key part in sharks' detecting objects.
B.You should make your outline stand out in the sea for your safety.
C.You should be dressed in bright color to avoid sharks' attention in the sea.
D.Sharks are more interested in sharp contrast against the water rather than your body.
（4）What's the writing purpose of the text？ 　B　
A.To challenge a traditional belief.
B.To inform us a scientific discovery.
C.To amuse us with interesting information.
D.To raise our awareness of protecting wild animals.

My New Brother
I was in my room，feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with "my brother" Henry.He had recently been adopted by my parents and I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
"Kirstie，come here，" my mom called.Following her voice，I found her outside the bathroom，holding a wet book.She gave the book a shake. "Henry's book was in the bathtub.Did you put it there？" She glared at me，something she had never done before Henry came to our home.I hadn't wet his book on purpose.Raindrops fell from my eyes.To make matters worse，she promised to buy him a new copy.My heart ached.Henry was stealing my mother's love.He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile，Henry was nearby，absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot （绳结），something he liked to do.Why did a boy like him like doing girly work？It seemed far from manly.
Soon，it was time to set off to the community theatre.As Henry walked ahead of us to the car，my mom took me aside and said in a low voice， "It will be Henry's first time onstage.Be kind to him，honey." I nodded but sighed.I hadn't always found it this difficult to be kind.But since Henry had moved in，everything felt different.The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me.With Henry involved，it didn't seem so special any more.
Finally，it was our stage time.My heart beat wildly.I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while.As we kids lined up，ready to act out our short play，I suddenly realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring （拉绳） on my skirt.Sure enough，my skirt began to drop.I could hear the audience laughing.Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt，I could feel my face burst into flames.If only someone could help me out.
续写要求：
（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。
Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment.___________
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.___________
【答案】Right then，Henry sensed my embarrassment.He immediately came to my aid.He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot.Seeing what Henry did for me，something deep in my mind began to change.It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt.I regretted having treated him as a stranger.While my mind was wandering，our performance time came.It turned out a great success，thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance，I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. "Thanks，" I said with a grateful smile on my face.I had to admit that but for his timely help，I would have been extremely embarrassed.Without his knotting skill，the performance would have been quite different. "KNOT a problem.You are my sister，" he grinned innocently，saying humorously.Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere，I felt a flood of warmth of a big family.Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.
