12.(10分) William Dunn is the founder of Take a Kid Fishing,Inc,a nonprofit organization in Lakeland,Florida,which teaches poor and fatherless kids through the sport of fishing.
A dozen years ago,inspired by his six﹣year﹣old fatherless neighbor,Cam ran,who got angry and shouted at his mom,William asked Cam ran's mom for permission to take Cam ran fishing.Cam ran was "hooked" from that first trip.The two fished together several times a week,and William saw positive changes in Cam ran's behavior. "That's when I realized that I had the duty to help fatherless kids," he says.
On weekends,William and a few other volunteers take 20 to 25 kids out fishing on a rental boat,which was supported by the captain of the Double Eagle.Many have never been fishing or even on a boat,so William—or Big Will,as the kids call him — starts by teaching the basics.Then come the life lessons that fishing offers:patience,teamwork and the simple joy of relaxing in the outdoors.Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.has taken more than 600 fishing trips with almost 2,000 kids who don't have a father in their lives.
He wants to share his love of fishing with kids who don't have a father to take them. "I just want to show them that I care about them,that I'm there for them," he says.Because many kids go on multiple trips,William is able to build relationships with them.He and Cam ran,now 20,still regularly fish together,and Camran sees Big Will as a father figure.
Take a Kid Fishing,Inc.,has a huge impact,but it started because William wanted to help one kid.Do you know a child who might benefit from your friendship?Introduce them to fishing or another hobby you enjoy.You can make a great difference to their life.

A.Many kids expected fishing experiences.
B.Few kids participated in the fishing trips.
C.The organization taught more than basic skills.
D.The fishing boat was offered by other volunteers.
(3)We do we know about William Dunn from the text?

13.(10分)When you're bored,you might start playing with a ball or other objects.Such behavior is common in people.Other animals like it too—that's why a dog fetches a stick,or a cat bats at toys.Play is an enjoyable way to pass the time.A new study finds that it's not just mammals that like to play.Bumblebees(大黄蜂) do it too,making them the first insects known to play.
In the study,Hiruni Samadi Galpayage Dona,an insect expert,did an experiment using 200 untrained bumblebees to see if they might play.Of those,45 would be marked with a number when they emerged as adults.
A pathway was set up from the bumblebees' nest to a feeding area.One side contained small wooden balls that rolled.The other side had the same number of balls,but they were stuck to the floor.Half balls on each side were colored balls.The rest were left unpainted.
For three hours a day over 18 days,Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move,but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls.Once they managed to roll a ball,they strongly preferred that side.They returned,climbing on the balls and rolling them around.She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls.
"There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects,"Galpayage Dona says.In another experiment,she sometimes left the balls out overnight."When I came in the next day,I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls."As with mammals,the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones.Their play tapered off as they got older.
The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it.But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings.
(1)How does the author introduce the topic?
A.By describing the fun of play.
B.By analyzing reasons for boredom.
C.By introducing similar phenomena.
D.By presenting animals' cute images.
(2)What did the researcher do in the experiment?
A.She trained bumblebees to play balls.
B.She put small balls along the pathway.
C.She set up a pathway in bumblebees' nest.
D.She rewarded the bumblebees with rolled balls.
(3)What does the underlined part"tapered off"probably mean in paragraph 5?
A.Mattered.
B.Helped.
C.Decreased.
D.Emerged.
(4)What can be the best title for the text?
A.Bumblebees Prefer Shape to Color
B.Balls Are Bumblebees' Favorite Toys
C.Playing with Objects Is Animals' Second Nature
D.Bumblebees Are the First Insects Known to Play
14.(10分)Genetic information is important because it stores,processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation.Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example,in quantum mechanics(量子力学),there is a popular theory known as the "observer effect",which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon.In other words,just by being there and having an interest in the outcome,we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer's influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer's conscious mind,we also see strong evidence for the"placebo effect"in medicine:a patient's condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment.And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn't actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies,what does having the genetic information do to us?Does simply knowing more about our own physiology(生理机能) change it?A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior.Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information:they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus,having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study),but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers).So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information.But as the Stanford study shows,even if the genetic information we receive is correct,how we receive it is also important.
(1)How does the"placebo effect"in medicine work?
A.The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B.The patient's condition worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C.The patient's condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D.The patient's condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
(2)According to paragraph 5,what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity?
A.They showed lower lung capacity.
B.They quit their physical test sooner.
C.They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D.They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
(3)What is the author's attitude towards having genetic information?
A.Positive.
B.Objective.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Negative.
(4)What is the main idea of this article?
A.The great power of the observer's mind.
B.The influence of knowing genetic information.
C.The amazing application of genetic information.
D.The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.

Ways to Build Resilience (恢复力)
Being resilient isn't about avoiding misfortune,but rather how we respond to it.Resilience means doing well in the face of risk or difficulty. (1) Being resilient can help you manage stress,lower your chances of depression,and has even been proven to make people live longer.To build resilience,the experts suggest the following:
Start with reaching out for support.Lack of social support can lead to decreased resilience.While it's easy to let go of important relationships in our busy lives, (2) Good relationships are a pillar (柱子) of rock for resilience and are a source of support when the times get tough.And cultivating your sense of humor is also a plus. (3) Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times.It also improves your sense of well﹣being through an increase in dopamine (多巴胺)levels in your brain,and can ultimately increase your overall health.
(4) Having goals and dreams increases resilience.A lack of purpose and goals reduces resilience and may leave you open to being taken advantage of,manipulation (操纵),and poor life choices;it reduces your sense of control over your life,which can easily lead to depression and anxiety.
Be a person of action.Being idle can lead to less resilience,but being active and tackling your problems head﹣on can promote your ability to deal with tough situations. (5) Instead,do something about the situation.
A.it is vital to make room for them.
B.Then find a sense of purpose in life.
C.it is excited to embrace the unknown.
D.Hard times call for looking at the lighter side.
E.Try to avoid thinking deeply about negative thoughts or ideas.
F.It is also the ability to bounce back from tough situations.
G.Ask questions until you feel like you have a firm grasp of a situation.

Danny's grandfather loved to keep pigeons,and Goldie was one of them.Goldie had golden eyes,which was very rare in pigeons.Grandfather said he had never had a pigeon like her.
Goldie was a champion racing pigeon and had won loads of cups.But once,around the time Goldie was released two hundred miles away for a race,Danny's grandfather was hospitalized with a heart attack.The responsibility of waiting for Goldie and taking care of the other pigeons then fell on Danny.
However,Goldie did not fly back on time as usual.In order not to upset his grandfather,while visiting him that night with his parents,Danny lied that Goldie had already returned and won the first place."I knew it",said Danny's grandfather,settling back on his pillows,"I always knew she was a winner.She's one in a million."Grandfather believed the lie.
Sometimes grandfather's racing pigeons got lost due to bad weather or got attacked by falcons(猎鹰)and never came back home,but those had never happened to Goldie.She always came home,right on time."Goldie must have been eaten by those falcons nesting in the quarry(采石场) on her way back home",Danny thought to himself bitterly and his chest was burning.Danny swore to himself to take revenge."They are a threat,those falcons!I must get rid of them and pull down their nest."
It only took Danny five minutes to reach the quarry.Danny looked around the quarry walls and found their nest on a steepest side,which was a long way up.He climbed fast——there were old tree roots to grab hold of.His hands were bleeding.But he didn't feel the pain.He was hanging on the rock wall with his finger﹣tips like a starfish.His arms were so weak and trembling,but he was finally there.
注意:
(1)续写的词数应为 150 左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he reached out his hand to destroy the falcons' nest,he suddenly saw the baby﹣falcons in it.

For three hours a day over 18 days,Galpayage Dona found bumblebees weren't so interested in the side where the balls didn't move,but they explored the side areas and interacted with the balls.Once they managed to roll a ball,they strongly preferred that side.They returned,climbing on the balls and rolling them around.She also found bumblebees preferred certain colors of balls.
"There's something about the mobility that is more interesting for the bumblebees than just colored objects,"Galpayage Dona says.In another experiment,she sometimes left the balls out overnight."When I came in the next day,I would always find some bumblebees rolling the balls."As with mammals,the bumblebees who played the most were the younger ones.Their play tapered off as they got older.
The scientists say it's not clear why the bumblebees roll the balls or whether they enjoy it.But the experiment raises important questions about how the insects' minds work and whether they have feelings.

14.(10分)Genetic information is important because it stores,processes and transmits biological data from generation to generation.Some scientists even assume that knowing genetic information itself matters.
For example,in quantum mechanics(量子力学),there is a popular theory known as the "observer effect",which states that the act of observing a phenomenon (usually by making some kind of measurement) necessarily changes that phenomenon.In other words,just by being there and having an interest in the outcome,we affect that outcome.
While the explanations behind the observer's influence in quantum mechanics come down to the measuring instrument and not the observer's conscious mind,we also see strong evidence for the"placebo effect"in medicine:a patient's condition can improve if they just believe they are receiving an effective treatment.And those beneficial effects can happen even if the patient is not actually receiving that treatment or if the treatment doesn't actually work.
If our minds truly do have power over our surroundings and our bodies,what does having the genetic information do to us?Does simply knowing more about our own physiology(生理机能) change it?A recent study on exercise and obesity suggests that the answer is yes.
Those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity produced 2.5 times more of the fullness hormone and claimed to feel fuller despite eating the same meal as they had one week prior.Those who were told they had lower endurance because of their genes did worse on their physical test than they had before receiving that information:they showed lower lung capacity and quit sooner.
Thus,having information about our genetic risk can lead to improvements in our physiology (as was true for the eaters of the study),but it can also put us at a disadvantage (as with the poor exercise performers).So we certainly need to be cautious of incorrect genetic information.But as the Stanford study shows,even if the genetic information we receive is correct,how we receive it is also important.
(1)How does the"placebo effect"in medicine work? D
A.The patient recovers with the timely treatment.
B.The patient's condition worsens due to a lack of treatment.
C.The patient's condition remains unchanged despite their belief.
D.The patient's condition improves with the belief in the treatment.
(2)According to paragraph 5,what happened to those who were told they were at low genetic risk for obesity? D
A.They showed lower lung capacity.
B.They quit their physical test sooner.
C.They needed more food to satisfy their appetite.
D.They felt fuller with more fullness hormone released.
(3)What is the author's attitude towards having genetic information? A
A.Positive.
B.Objective.
C.Ambiguous.
D.Negative.
(4)What is the main idea of this article? B
A.The great power of the observer's mind.
B.The influence of knowing genetic information.
C.The amazing application of genetic information.
D.The connection between Quantum Mechanics and Medicine.

Ways to Build Resilience (恢复力)
Being resilient isn't about avoiding misfortune,but rather how we respond to it.Resilience means doing well in the face of risk or difficulty. (1) F Being resilient can help you manage stress,lower your chances of depression,and has even been proven to make people live longer.To build resilience,the experts suggest the following:
Start with reaching out for support.Lack of social support can lead to decreased resilience.While it's easy to let go of important relationships in our busy lives, (2) A Good relationships are a pillar (柱子) of rock for resilience and are a source of support when the times get tough.And cultivating your sense of humor is also a plus. (3) D Humor helps you to gain perspective during hard times.It also improves your sense of well﹣being through an increase in dopamine (多巴胺)levels in your brain,and can ultimately increase your overall health.
(4) B Having goals and dreams increases resilience.A lack of purpose and goals reduces resilience and may leave you open to being taken advantage of,manipulation (操纵),and poor life choices;it reduces your sense of control over your life,which can easily lead to depression and anxiety.
Be a person of action.Being idle can lead to less resilience,but being active and tackling your problems head﹣on can promote your ability to deal with tough situations. (5) E Instead,do something about the situation.
A.it is vital to make room for them.
B.Then find a sense of purpose in life.
C.it is excited to embrace the unknown.
D.Hard times call for looking at the lighter side.
E.Try to avoid thinking deeply about negative thoughts or ideas.
F.It is also the ability to bounce back from tough situations.
G.Ask questions until you feel like you have a firm grasp of a situation.

19.(25分)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。
Danny's grandfather loved to keep pigeons,and Goldie was one of them.Goldie had golden eyes,which was very rare in pigeons.Grandfather said he had never had a pigeon like her.
Goldie was a champion racing pigeon and had won loads of cups.But once,around the time Goldie was released two hundred miles away for a race,Danny's grandfather was hospitalized with a heart attack.The responsibility of waiting for Goldie and taking care of the other pigeons then fell on Danny.
However,Goldie did not fly back on time as usual.In order not to upset his grandfather,while visiting him that night with his parents,Danny lied that Goldie had already returned and won the first place."I knew it",said Danny's grandfather,settling back on his pillows,"I always knew she was a winner.She's one in a million."Grandfather believed the lie.
Sometimes grandfather's racing pigeons got lost due to bad weather or got attacked by falcons(猎鹰)and never came back home,but those had never happened to Goldie.She always came home,right on time."Goldie must have been eaten by those falcons nesting in the quarry(采石场) on her way back home",Danny thought to himself bitterly and his chest was burning.Danny swore to himself to take revenge."They are a threat,those falcons!I must get rid of them and pull down their nest."
It only took Danny five minutes to reach the quarry.Danny looked around the quarry walls and found their nest on a steepest side,which was a long way up.He climbed fast——there were old tree roots to grab hold of.His hands were bleeding.But he didn't feel the pain.He was hanging on the rock wall with his finger﹣tips like a starfish.His arms were so weak and trembling,but he was finally there.
注意:
(1)续写的词数应为 150 左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Just as he reached out his hand to destroy the falcons' nest,he suddenly saw the baby﹣falcons in it.
______
Making his way down the hill,Danny came across Goldie,who was stuck in a hole on the rock,wing﹣broken but still alive
______
【答案】Just as he reached out his hand to destroy the falcons' nest,he suddenly saw the baby﹣falcons in it.
He suddenly remembered Goldie when she was little,Fluffy and helpless.The feeling of anger vanished like water running down a drain,and the feeling of revenge was thrown out of the window.Danny realizes that if he destroys the falcons' nest,the young falcons will fall to the ground.Only death awaits them.But Danny,who was not a bad boy by nature,did not do so.Without harming the young,helpless falcon,he continued to climb over the top of the hill.
Making his way down the hill,Danny came across Goldie,who was stuck in a hole on the rock,wing﹣broken but still alive.Without hesitation,Danny carefully lifted Goldie out and rushed him to the hospital.Luckily,with Danny's care,Goldie's injury is cured and Grandpa returns home.Danny was fortunate not to be carried away by anger and did something he regretted.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Danny的爷爷养了很多鸽子,其中Goldie是最好的一只,一天爷爷生病住院了,照顾鸽子的责任落在了Danny身上,但是Danny发现Goldie没有回来,以为它被猎鹰杀死了,所以Danny决定摧毁猎鹰的巢穴帮Goldie报仇,但是当他看到巢中的小猎鹰时,他放弃了复仇,还发现了受伤的Goldie,最后救下了Goldie。
