Sometimes she only tells them to the most careful observers.George de Mestral was a Swiss engineer who enjoyed walking with his dog in the woods. One day, after a walk, he looked down and saw some seeds (种子) stuck to his trousers. He was a little bit angry because the seeds were hard to remove. He pulled a few of the seeds off his trousers and examined them under a microscope (显微镜). What he saw amazed him: tiny hooks (钩子) on the ends of the seeds. De Mestral saw a new way to stick things together and keep them attached. He was inspired to turn his accidental discovery into a useful product. He borrowed money from a bank, gave up his job, and gave all of his time and energy to the task. At first, people refused to accept him and the idea seriously. He took his idea to a weaving center, where he did manage to get the help of one weaver, who made two products out of cotton that worked. However, the cotton wore out quickly. Finally, by using nylon instead of cotton, he made his invention work. It took ten years to develop it. He called it Velcro.Today, Velcro is used everywhere: in shoes, purses, and childrens toys. We can think de Mestral for discovering and developing a wonderful way to attach things. But the real thanks should go to nature for making the secret known.21. What gave de Mestral the idea for inventing Velcro?A. The thick woods.B. The sticky seeds.C. His trousers. D. His dog.22. What does the underlined part “the task” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Looking for a new job. B. Finding a useful material. C. Raising enough money for his experiment. D. Developing a product to stick things together.23. What is the best title for the text? A. Velcro: An Invention Inspired by Nature. B. Mother Nature: The Perfect Designer. C. Lessons Learned from Nature. D. The Mother of Invention.BChristopher Charles studied Health Science at a university in Canada. After graduation, he went to Cambodia and lived in a small village. There, he studied a serious health condition called anaemia (贫血症). People with anaemia do not have enough iron in their bodies. Charles did blood tests on many people and discovered something shocking. About 90% of women and children had anaemia. He knew he could not leave CambodiaIron medicine is the usual treatment for anaemia, but it costs a lot. Cooking with iron pots(锅) could help because it would release iron into every meal. But iron pots are very heavy and expensive. Also, food goes bad if it is left in an iron pot. So Charles added an iron bar to a cooking pot. It didnt cost much money and it did release lots of iron. However, instead of cooking with it, people used it to hold down papers or support a table with a broken leg.Finally Charles created the iron fish. People in Cambodia eat fish every day and they believe fish are lucky. So people are willing to put the iron fish into their cooking pots.It turned out that the iron fish not only improved peoples health, but also helped the local economy(经济). People who use the iron fish miss fewer days at work. And some people even get jobs from the iron fish. They make and supply the iron fish.More and more people are using the lucky iron fish in Cambodia now. But anaemia is a worldwide problem, which affects one in three people in the world. In some places people do not eat fish. Charles says this is not a problem. “The iron could be shaped in a different form. What is important is that it is right for each culture. So people will use it and it will improve their lives,” he says.24. Why did Charles decide to stay in Cambodia? A. He graduated from a university there. B. He was kindly requested to stay by the locals. C. He was attracted by the small village. D. He wanted to solve a health problem there.25. What was the problem with the iron bar for treating anaemia? A. It could easily make food go bad.B. People found other uses for it. C. It didnt release enough iron.D. People could not afford it.26. How did the local people feel about using the iron fish? A. Pleased. B. Bored. C. Puzzled. D. Shocked.27. What dose Charles mean by his words in the last paragraph? A. The iron fish can be used for treating anaemia worldwide. B. A treatment does not work unless it is acceptable. C. Fish is an important part of Cambodia culture. D. Anaemia is not so serious as people think. CSocial networks are a big part of nearly every teenagers life in this day and age. Many teens have QQ, WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives. Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced(追踪) back to you. That includes every post, even every like, comment, favorite and forward that you have ever committed (提交). All pictures youve posted or will post have been stored in a digital database, and it is the companies right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.With every post comes a consequence (后果); whether it is good or bad, what you post could be seen by anyone. That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture, you are probably wrong. Recently, a senior, Aaron, at Servite learned this lesson in the hard way this year. He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a webpage, ignoring potential consequences.This student, however, did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school. Surprisingly enough, he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline(处罚)“When you agree to come to Servite, you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,” the young man said.“That continues from 8：00 am to 2：00 pm. Its at all times.”So, next time youre about to post something that you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate(不恰当的), think twice, or dont press the “Send”28. What does the author think the teens should do in the first paragraph?A. Avoid using social media.B. Remove their own digital documents.C. Be responsible for what they put online.D. Learn to balance their online and offline time.29. What mistake did Aaron make online?A. Drawing some meaningless pictures.B. Making some bad comments.C. Failing to take his lesson.D. Breaking down a special web page.30. What did Servite do with Aarons case?A. It reached an agreement with Connelly girls.B. It helped Aaron get rid of ill effects.C. It gave Aaron a severe punishment.D. It stood on Aarons side.31. For whom is the text probably intended?A. Teenagers.B. Teachers.C. Parents.D. Network engineers.DNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document (记载) his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.” The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”32. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with? A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone. B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries. C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend. D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.33. Traveling alone is challenging because . A. you have to make things on your own B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens D. it will finally build your character34. What can we infer (推断) about Chris Richardson? A. He started traveling alone at an early age.B. He was once shot in the arm. C. He used to work as a salesman.D. His website inspires others a lot.35. What is the best title for the passage? A. Travel Abroad.B. Travel Alone. C. Travel Light. D. Travel Wide and Far.第二节: (共5小题，每小题2分) 根据短文内容，从所给的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。No matter what Gary did, it was never enough to please his father. 36 When he described the wonderful girl hed fallen in love with, he got a lecture warning him that she might be different than he thought. 37 He tried to talk him out of it, explaining the advantages of being close to the family and the disadvantages of moving. Finally, Gary got angry, “Dad, Im moving to get away from you! 38 ”This time, to Garys surprise, his dad said with tears in his eyes, “All I ever wanted was to make you better and help you to be successful and avoid risks. 39 Its why my business is so successful. Do you want me to ignore my experience and just be a cheerleader?”“Dad, our relationship isnt about productivity,” Gary explained. “Youre my dad. Sometimes I need praise more than a push and approval (赞同) more than advice. 40 Its not enough that you love me; I need you to appreciate me.”Thats an important lesson. In personal relationships, there may be benefits to the endless pursuit (追求) of better, but the cost may be too high.A. Its what I do.B. I can understand you.C. Always trying to make me better just makes me feel worse.D. I promise Ill stand by your side forever no matter what happens.E. When he got seven As and three Bs, his dad asked about the Bs.F.
