A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.
One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.
A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t wilt, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him: from the tree he planted, he would become an outstanding botanist when he grew up.
Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle (勺子). He returned to his room, tears running down his face.
Decades passed. The little boy didn’t become a botanist, but he was elected President of the United States. His name was Franklin Roosevelt.
4. Why didn’t the boy answer the teacher’s question?
A. He couldn’t concentrate on the class.
B. All the students looked down on him.

Zero gravity looks cool. But what about the thing no one likes to talk about? Yes, that is right: going to bathroom. Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again.
The Apollo astronauts raised themselves off the seat of their chairs and stuck a clear plastic bag to their back sides with sticky strips. A second astronaut watched closely to be sure no waste matter escaped the seal. (You would not want that stuff floating around the cabin!)When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag， removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant(消毒剂)pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container.
Donald W. Rethke, an engineer for Hamilton Standard Space Systems, developed a more private way to answer nature's call: the space toilet. It is somewhat like the kind of toilet one would find on commercial airplanes - with unique adaptations for zero gravity, of course. For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat.
The astronaut (male or female)defecates(排便)in a bag and urinates (排尿)in a hose(软管). Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85％ of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration(过滤), used for drinking and other purposes.（Water is always in demand in space.) A vacuum sucks the waste materials into the toilet, where the waste is compacted into hamburger-like patties for easy storage. Although not exactly like an earthbound visit to the toilet, it is at the very least much more private than in the early days of space travel.
8. What can be turned into a major challenge for lack of gravity,according to Paragraph 1?
A. Eating. B. Taking baths. C. Sleeping. D. Answering nature's call.
9. How did astronauts use toilet systems in the Apollo days?
A. None of the waste was separated as it is now.
B. Solid waste was compressed and stored on board.
C. The toilet units used water to remove the waste through the system.
D. The astronauts each used their own private restroom.
10. To ensure the user remains seated, the toilet comes equipped with.
A. a plastic bag B. a sticky strip C. a wide hose D. a thigh bar
11. What can be inferred from the fact that most of the astronauts' urine is recycled?
A. The recycled water tastes better.
B. Water is limited on the space shuttle.
C. It is very convenient to get their urine recycled.
D. Space science includes recycling urine.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了宇航员在太空是如何入厕的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Zero gravity makes this everyday task quite a challenge. Astronauts have to be toilet-trained all over again. ”（在零重力的环境下，这项日常任务相当具有挑战性。宇航员必须重新接受厕所训练）可知，失重的主要挑战是上厕所，故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““When the deed was done, the astronaut cleaned up with a piece of plastic attached to the inside of the bag， removed the bag, dropped a disinfectant(消毒剂)pill in with the waste matter, and put the whole thing, sealed, into a special container. （如厕完成后，宇航员用一块粘在袋子里的塑料进行清理，取出袋子，将一颗消毒药丸和排泄物一起扔进袋子里，然后将整个东西密封在一个特殊的容器中）”可知，在阿波罗号上，宇航员使用厕所时排泄物没有进行分离，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“For instance, it has thigh bars that keep the astronaut from floating off the seat. ”（例如，它有防止宇航员从座位上飘起来的大腿条）可知，为了确保使用者能坐着，马桶配备了大腿条，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Solid and liquid wastes are kept separated because at least 85％ of the urine is recycled and, yes, after careful filtration（过滤）, used for drinking and other purposes.（Water is always in demand in space.) ”（固体和液体废物保持分离，因为至少85%的尿液回收,是的,经过仔细过滤,用于饮用和其他用途。(在太空中，水总是需要的)）可推知，航天飞机上的水是有限的，故选B。
【点睛】
D
New App Helps People Remember Faces
Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution.

The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people.
After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.
Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”
The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.
12. SocialRecall is used to ________.
A. take photos B. identify people
C. organize events D. make friends
13. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. how the app works
B. how the app was created
C. what makes the app popular
D. what people can do with the app
14. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________.
A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones
B. collecting information previously entered in the phone
C. providing the information of a person when they first meet
D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face
15. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?
A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.
B. It has caused unintended consequences.
C. It can prevent some communication disorders.
D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。文章主要介绍一款新的应用程序帮助人们识别面孔，但也有可能泄露隐私。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions.可知，这款名为SocialRecall的应用软件可以通过智能手机摄像头和面部识别功能将名字和人脸联系起来，从而避免了正式介绍的必要，从而可以推断出，是用来识别人。故选B。
【13题详解】
段落大意题。根据文章第三段本主要讲述在收到活动组织者发出邀请后，用户需要自拍两张照片并通过社交媒体登录，在活动中，该应用程序在之前定义的地理区域内处于活动状态。当用户将他或她的手机摄像头对准出席者的脸时，该应用程序就会识别这个人，显示这个人的名字，并链接到他或她的社交媒体个人资料，故本段主要介绍SocialRecall这款应用软件工作原理。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app.可知，用户使用智能手机的摄像头或照片中获取某人的面部图像，然后给它加上一个名字。当摄像机在现实生活中发现相同的人脸时，就会显示之前输入的信息，从而帮助脸盲症患者识别此人的信息。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”可知，当人们选择将自己的个人信息分享给应用程序时，他们应该知道，在未来可能会出现意想不到的后果，从而可以推断出SocialRecall这款应用程序可能会危及人们的隐私。故选A。
第二节(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。
Most people believe they don't have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, forget how to make use of it. ____16____ People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer. Here are three techniques to help you.
____17____ This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, etc.____18____ The next stage is to relate the idea to the job you have to do.
NO limits. Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time/ space/ money, etc. as you want.____19____ If your goal is to learn to ski, for example, you can now practise skiing every day of your life. Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing ever day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else. Look at the situation from a different point of view.____20____ Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their positions.
A. Make connections.
B. Expand your mind.
C. Think of as many as you can.
D. Think about your goal and the new possibilities.
E. Creativity is of vital importance in writing a fiction.
F. Good businessmen use this technique m trade, and so do writers.
G. Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. D 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何让自己有创造性，并给出了3个方法。
【详解】1.根据前文“Everyone has imagination, but most of us, forget how to make use of it.”（每个人都有想象力，但是我们大多数人，忘记了如何利用它。）后文“People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. ”（人们在工作和闲暇时间经常想出创造性的方法来解决问题。）可知，利用创造性的方法来解决问题是在人们工作和闲暇时间想出来的，结合前文谈到的人们不知道如何利用想象力，可推知，空白处作为过渡句，应提出关于创造性的说法，即创造性并不总是和伟大的工作或思想有关。选项G.“Creativity isn’t always connected with great works of art or ideas.”（创造力并不总是和伟大的艺术作品或思想联系在一起。）与文意相符，故选G。
2.空白处位于段首，结合第三、四段段首的黑体句子可知，空白处应为本段的主题句，且句式要用祈使句。根据下文“This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them.”（这种方法需要对不相关的想法，试图找到它们之间的联系。）可推知，联系可以把不相关的想法连接起来，这样就可能会具有创造性。所以开头处应讲述创建联系。选项A. “Make connections.”（创建联系）与文意相符，故选A。
3.根据前文“First think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, etc.”（首先考虑你要解决的问题或者你要做的工作。然后找到一个图像，文字，想法或物体，例如，蜡烛。写下所有与蜡烛有关的单词: 灯、火、火柴、蜡、夜晚等等。）提到了要创建联系的具体步骤，其中之一——写下所有与蜡烛有关的单词，表明要想到足够多与之有关的词汇。选项C.“Think of as many as you can.”（能想多少就想多少。）与文意相符，故选C。
4.根据后文“If your goal is to learn to ski, for example, you can now practise skiing every day of your life.”（例如，如果你的目标是学习滑雪，你现在可以每天练习滑雪。）说明可以结合自己所设定的目标开始实施行动，所以在此之前应该先要思考自己的具体目标。选项D.“Think about your goal and the new possibilities.”（想想你的目标和新的可能性。）与文意相符，故选D。
5.根据前文“Be someone else”（把自己变成另一个人。）后文“Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. ”（小说家经常把自己想象成书中的人物。）可知，后文通过举例说明作家是如何使用这样的方法让自己的作品变得有说服力，因而空白处的意思为这个方法也适用于作家。选项F. “Good businessmen use this technique m trade, and so do writers.”（优秀的商人运用这种技巧进行贸易，作家也是如此。）writer与后文的 Fiction writers 相呼应，符合题意，故选F。

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.
While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.
“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.
“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.
But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.
“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.
In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
But the more she explained, the stronger her children begged for Daisy. “ No!-No!-No! ” they dashed to Daisy and threw their arms around her, begging, “ Please, mother! We would rather go hungry than lose her! ” Hearing this, Mrs. Grant was in great sorrow, her heart bleeding. After all, she clearly knew that the children had devoted so much love to Daisy and that Daisy was more than a pet lamb to them; she was, in their eyes, a family member! Having struggled hard, she turned to the butcher and decided that she would not sell Daisy and would return the money.
Paragraph 2:
The Butcher, who had been watching all, was touched in his heart. When Mrs. Grant took out the money and gave it back, he just waved his hand and announced, “ I will not rob the children of their pet! ” He approached the children, patted them on the shoulders gently and promised that he would buy Daisy from their mother and then gave it back to them as a gift. The word left the children standing stunned. Then, looking up at him, one asked seriously, “Sir, do you really mean that?” The butcher just replied seriously, “ I mean every word of it. She is OUR Daisy. My boy and I will come to see her occasionally. ” Hearing this, all the children gathered round and stroked the pet, their little hearts filled with joy.
