But Ricochet had other plans, at least for the first part. She failed at service dog training, but she went on to help millions of people around the world learn how to trust, how to love, and how to surf (冲浪). According to Fridono, the dog seemed naturally suited to life as a service dog. She was great with people, especially kids, and she had plenty of energy. But birds were her weakness. She just couldnt seem to stop running after them. And thats not a good quality for a service dog that needs to focus on the person shes helping. Fridono said at the beginning she was disappointed when Ricochet didnt succeed at service dog school. But it wasnt long before the pup let her true skills shine through. At just 8 weeks old, Ricochet climbed on to a board that had been left in a childrens pool, showing her special talent for balance. Soon, Ricochet was making headlines as the beach-loving dog who could hang ten on a surfboard. But she wasnt finished showing off her special talents yet. “ One day at the beach, she jumped on a surfboard with a 14-year-old boy who had spinal cord (脊髓) injuries,” Fridono said. “It was at that moment that her life purpose to surf with people who are disabled was realized. Shes just such an inspiration to everyone shes got such a strong connection to people, and we see such improvements in the people who she surfs with.” Ricochet now surfs daily with children and adults with special needs. She specializes in helping military veterans (退伍军人) with PTSD (创伤后应激障碍) and children with autism (自闭症) by connecting with them in ways that no one else can.21. What do we know about Ricochet? A. She was taught how to surf. B. She has been helpful for many people. C. She saved thousands of peoples lives. D. She learnt special skills at service dog school.22. What was Ricochets greatest shortcoming? A. Impatience.B. Great pride. C. Not being brave.D. Lack of concentration23. What may have amazed Fridono? A. Ricochets rapid progress.B. Ricochets extraordinary talents. C. Ricochets widespread popularity.D. Ricochets dropping out of school.24. What can we infer from the text? A. Ricochet once had a spinal cord injury. B. Fridono made Ricochets dream come true. C. Fridono helped Ricochet develop her skills and talents. D. Ricochet has a unique connection with special needs people.B Glovelies Using a phone or palmtop computer with touch screens while wearing gloves (手套) has always been difficult.

Whenever people hear that I lived on a farm, they immediately have an image of dairy cows, tractors, hay, and overalls. Nothing could be further from the truth. I wasnt on the kind of farm everyone imagines. I didnt feed cows or pigs; I didnt grow corn or wheat. I helped my mother raise llamas (羊驼). It is strange that such non-traditional livestock should be raised on a long-established farm such as ours, which has been in the family for generations. Our family did indeed raise traditional livestock for many decades. Then, fifty years ago, my great-grandfather decided to buy a llama. He must have learned that wool from llamas was more profitable than wool from sheep. The llama wool business turned out to be so successful, in fact, that my great-grandfather changed the family business to a completely-developed llama farm. Before I began to live on the farm, I had many illusions (错误的观念) about rural life. What could possibly be easier than feeding and grooming (照看) some animals? After I had settled into my new home, however, I realized that farm work was much more involved than I had expected. Collecting manure (肥料), for example, doesnt seem so bad when someone else does it on TV, but I had to get up before dawn every day to finish that chore before catching the bus to school. I dont mean to say that my life on the farm was a bad experience. I learned a lot about myself: for example, Im not a morning person. I also learned about llamas habits, such as spitting (吐唾沫) when they are unhappy. Most importantly, my mother and I got to spend a lot of time together during those years. Although I doubt Ill have a career in farming, I look forward to returning to the family farm for short visits.29. Why did the authors great-grandfather want to raise llamas? A. To please his grandchildren.B. To learn about their habits. C. To make more money.D. To save their lives.30. What did the author imagine rural life would be like? A. It would be boring and tiring. B. It would involve lots of laborers. C. It would be very easy and relaxing. D. It would be the same as I expected.31. How did the author feel about his life on his mothers farm? A. He was bored.B. He was grateful. C. He was excited.D. He was disappointed.32. What would be the best title for the text? A. Returning to a familyB. Living in a big family C. Growing up on a farmD. Working on a traditional farmD Your next car could have two seats, three wheels two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind. The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elios long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商). Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said. Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable. 33. Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?ABCD (= wheel, = seat)34. Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio _. A. is sold at affordable pricesB. will be available in most stores C. has a fixed temperatureD. does no harm to the environment35. The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “_”. A. take a chanceB. stand in the way C. break into piecesD. make a difference第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Memory Memory is the process of storing experiences in the brain and recalling them later. People use their memories during every moment of their lives. 36 Even to walk or to eat, people remember movements they learned as children. Scientists know that memories cause chemical changes in the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain. The chemical changes create what are called memory paths. These paths can remain in the brain for seconds or for a persons entire life. Many scientists believe that there are two levels of memory. 37 The other is long-term memory, or permanent memory. Short-term memory is a way to store information temporarily. It lasts about 15 to 30 seconds. An example is keeping a telephone number in mind after looking it up and while dialing._38 It can last days, months, years, or a lifetime. Repeating and practicing motions (动作) or tasks help the brain to store information for a long time. if a person dials a telephone number many times, the number will move from short-term to long-term memory.Scientists also think that there are different types of memory. Theses include motor-skill, factual, and emotional memory.Motor-skill memory tells people how to do physical things that they have done before. It can be short-term or long-term. 39 Factual memory is the storage of facts. It can be short-term or long-term. Factual memory lets people remember faces, numbers, and the experiences that happen to them._40 It is long-term. For example, people tend to remember very frightening experiences throughout their lives. Some scientists think this happens so that people are prepared for problems in the future. A. Emotional memory is the memory of emotion.B. One level is short-term memory, or working memory.C. They must remember words and ideas to speak or to write.D. Its easier to remember a poem that rhymes than one that doesnt.E. Long-term memory is the storage of information for longer periods.F. People use motor-skill memory to copy a dance step and to ride a bicycle.G. People can pull out information stored in memory through either recall or recognition.第三部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On a cold afternoon in January 2015, Yesenia Diosdado, 11, got off a school bus in Lenexa, Kansas, near the apartment building where she lives with her family.
