Now a seventh-grader at East Prairie Elementary School, Dobek recently won the national Discovery Education Lockheed-Martin Beyond Challenge by designing a space station for travelling to Mars. She says that night watching the lunar eclipse started a strong desire in her. So when her teacher Andrea Smeeton received information about the national challenge, Smeeton said she immediately had one student in mind. “I knew she would love the challenge and that she would go way beyond in her research,” Smeeton said. “She immediately started researching bone density (密度) of astronauts and how to have food on Mars.”“My design will ensure the safety of the astronauts but also make sure their comfort is out of this world,” Dobek says.Dobeks design calls for building the MSS or Mars Storage Station to put the supplies in. It also includes the SGF or Self-Growing Farm, and she details how it would work with the elements on Mars.Then there is physical and leisure activity for the astronauts under Dobeks design. A simulator (模拟装置) allows astronauts to choose their exercise machine and virtual (虚拟的) reality environment. Rooms have circular ceilings so astronauts will be able to watch downloaded shows and even see places on Earth, such as their homes.“I want to tell other kids to follow their passions,” Dobek said. “Whatever they want to do, they should push for it and always try their best.” 25. Dobek first became interested in space when .A. she was still a seventh-graderB. she watched an eclipse of the moon C. she lived on the top of their houseD. she studied at junior high school 26. Smeeton recommended that Dobek take the challenge because .A. she knew Dobek liked challenges in lifeB. she had no other students interested in MarsC. she was sure that Dobek would have outstanding performance D. Dobek knew how to research bone density of astronauts27. What does Dobek focus on when designing the space station? A. The environment on Mars. B. The safety of the supplies. C. The physical activities for astronauts. D. The safety and comfort of the astronauts.CIt is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. To help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results were disappointing, because the children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that focused on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socio-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance and useful skills on child development. At three, the children in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children from the same socio-economic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socio-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.28. What contributes to the failure of the “Headstart” program ?A. The parents were not included in it.B. The program was started too late. C. Only the children of poor families took part in it.D. The government didnt provide enough money for it. 29. What do we know about the “Missouri” program?A. It focused on the children from poor families.B. It helped the children return to the same home.C. It made the children improved in many aspects.D. It gave some advice on parents development.30. According to the passage, what is likely to influence childrens performance?A. The number of family members.B. The teacher-student relationship.C. The economic condition of their parents.D. The parent-child interaction. 31. How does the author develop the passage?A. By listing figures.B. By making comparisons.C. By presenting ideas.D. By drawing conclusions. DWilliam I, who conquered England some 930 years ago, had wealth, power and an army. Yet although William was very rich by the standard of his time, he had nothing like a flush toilet (抽水马桶), paper towels, or riding lawn mower (除草机). How did he get by?History books are filled with wealthy people who were poor compared to me. I have storm windows, Croesus did not. Entire nations trembled before Alexander the Great, but he couldnt buy cat food. Czar Nicholas lacked an electric saw.Given how much better off I am than so many famous dead people, youd think Id be content. The trouble is that, like most people, I compare my wealth with that of living persons: neighbors, school classmates, famous TV people. The greed I feel toward my friend Howards new kitchen is not reduced by the fact that no kings ever had a refrigerator with glass doors.There is really no rising or falling standard of living. Over the centuries people simply find different things to feel sad about. Youd think that simply not having disease would put us in a good mood, but no, we want a hot bath too.Of course, one way to achieve happiness would be to realize that even by todays standards the things I own are pretty nice. My house is smaller than the houses of many investment bankers, but even so it has a lot more rooms than my wife and I can keep clean.Besides, to people looking back at our era from a century or two in the future, these bankers fancy counter tops and my own worn Formica will seem equally shabby. I cant keep up with my neighbors right now. But just wait. 32. What does the underlined phrase “get by” in the first paragraph mean?A. Succeed as a king.B. Deal with complaints.C. Get the money needed.D. Live in a satisfactory way.33. How many historical figures are mentioned to compare lives in the past and present?A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.34. According to the passage, the author intends to .A. tell us to be content with life B. warn us to live in a simple wayC. teach us to learn lessons from lifeD. encourage us to struggle for wealth35. Whats the authors attitude towards life?A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Negative. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。In a study recently published in the journal Neuron, researchers found that super memorizers dont have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 36 Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help to remember things in everyday life.To Remember: New words Technique: Change routine In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room and some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 37 That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc. To Remember: Your PINTechnique: Count it out You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. Then try the tip from Dominic, an eight-time World Memory Champion. 38 For instance, “This is my PIN” = 4223.To Remember: Faces Technique: Focus on noses While some super memorizers specialize in associating names with faces, the memory-palace technique doesnt work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a persons nose. 39 To Remember: Facts & figures Technique: 40 To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If its a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session.A. Value examsB. Give yourself timeC. This allows you to take in their whole face.D. Their brain structures are in fact the same as the rest of ours.E. Write a four-word sentence, and count the number of letters in each word.F. The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you.G. Another two studies also showed that changing other aspects of your environment can help.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）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。Being jobless for the last three months, I am upset nowadays.
