An official report BAt the age of 13, a boy living in Sierra Leone created batteries and generators(发电机)using materials he picked up around the house or from dustbins. Now, he has impressed experts in the U.S. Kelvin Doe, now 19, is a completely self-taught engineer. He manages his own fully-staffed community radio station in Sierra Leone where he broadcasts news and plays music under the moniker DJ Focus. The radian station is powered by a generator made by himself, while a simple antenna（天线）lets his neighborhood listen in.“They call me DJ Focus because I believe if you focus, you can do an invention perfectly,” Doe said. MIT, a respected US university, discovered Doe during Innovate Salone, a national high school innovation challenge held in Sierra Leone by an international organization called Global Minimum. Doctoral student David Sengeh recognized his skills right away. “Its very inspirational, Sengeh said in the video. He created things just because he needed them.” Before attending Innovate Salone , Doe had never been more than 10 miles from home. With Sengehs help, in September he journeyed to New York for the 2012 World Maker Faire, where he joined a “Meet the Young Makers” discussion group with four American inventors. Does reputation only promised to grow from here. Soon he got an opportunity to practise in the International Development Initiative at MIT and became a guest host at Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science, where he has gained even more practical knowledge to help his community. “Whatever things Ive learned here, I will share it with my friends, colleagues and loved ones,” Doe said.25. The materials Doe used are_A. obtained easily B. bought by himselfC. made by himselfD. donated by others26. Doe made inventions mainly to_A. satisfy his demandB. sell them for moneyC. turn waste into useful thingsD. attract the attention of experts27. Does talent was first noticed at_A. MITB. HarvardC. Innovate SaloneD. the 2012 World Maker Fair28. Which of the following can best describe Doe?A. Proud, skillful and easy-goingB. Kind, clever and concentrativeC. Modest, shy and hard-workingD. Honest, brave and warm-heartedCFor thousands of years, farmers have guided animals reproduction. Humans chose which cow or goat, for example, would mate (交配)with another. In this way, farmers could guide the development of desirable traits（品质）, such as flavor, size, color, behavior or resistance to disease. Those traits come from particular versions of certain genes, called gene variants（变种）. Different gene variants might lead to white, brown, black or red hair, for example. “Because we are trying to feed an ever-growing population, we are really mastering very specific production traits for most of our animals,” says Long. For example, black-and-white Holstein cattle produce lots of milk. Black Angus cattle provide flavorful beef. That focus also helps to control costs and boost a farmers income. As a result, most farmers today raise just a few livestock(家畜). Holsteins, for instance, today account for more than 9 out of every 10 U.S. dairy cows. But as Holstein numbers have climbed, many other dairy breeds（繁殖） have disappeared from todays farms. Phillip Sponenber is an animal geneticist. The Conestoga horse also is gone. This breed pulled those heavy carriages that settlers used when they migrated West in the 1800s. Today, global populations of some livestock breeds consist of only a few hundred or thousand animals. Take the Choctaw hogs. Fewer than 100 remain. But these animals easily feed themselves on Oklahomas open range. Yet weighing only about 54 kilograms (120 pounds), they produce little meat. Thats why few farmers raise them anymore. Yet their meat is very tasty. And the pigs survive well in the regions high heat and low-quality rangeland. Thats why some farmers think efforts should be made to keep this breed around.29. What should farmers raise if they want favorable beef?A. Holstein cattleB. Black Augus cattleC. Conestoga horse D. White dairy cows30. Why is the population of Choctaw hogs fewer?A. Because it is tough to raise them.B. Because their meat is very tasty.C. Because they provide less meat.D. Because they easily feed themselves on Oklahomas open range.31. What is the best title for the passage?A. A need to save rare animals.B. The relation between farms and livestock.C. Animals reproduction depends on farmers.D. Carry out thorough research before raising animals.DThe British lead the world in their love of the cocoa-based treat. As a product, chocolate has a lot of advantages, appealing to all ages, both sexes and all income groups. Although Eastern Europe provides another promising market, few markets challenge the UK in terms of current confectionery (甜食) consumption. In the US, each American eats a mere 10 kg of confectionery per person a year, whereas UK consumers each manage 16 kg. Around 60% of all confectionery is bought without planning.Impulse buyingmakes the development of a strong brand image vital, and large long-established brands control the market. Building up these brands costs serious money. Media cost on confectionery is higher than that for any other impulse market. Innovation (创新) is also very important for ongoing success, despite the chocolate market being controlled by consistent performers. The chocolate company Mars once launched(投放市场) Flyte claiming to be their first mainstream brand to address the demand for lower fat products. Another Mars launch, Celebrations, is claimed to innovate the boxed chocolates market by attracting new, younger customers. With Celebrations, we are finding that younger people and men are buying because the chocolates dont come in the traditional-shaped box they look different” a Mars spokesman says. One feature of the chocolate industry in recent years has been the emergence of special editions. Producers believe that special editions offer the consumer a new and exciting variation of a product, while suggesting the same consistent quality they associate with familiar brands. Since special editions are only available for a few weeks, they also have a unique quality about them. Far from reducing sales of the straight version, limited editions appear to simply increase overall sales.32. Whats the authors attitude towards the Britishs chocolate addiction?A. SubjectiveB. Uncaring.C. Objective.D. Worried33. The underlined words “Impulse buying” in Paragraph 3 refer to buying something.A. buying it quickly when you need it.B. buying it suddenly when you see it.C. buying it hesitantly because it is cheap.D. buying it thoughtfully because it is famous.34. Who are most likely to buy “Flyte”？A. Weight-conscious women.B. Middle-aged men.C. Regular customers.D. Fashion followers.35. We know from the last paragraph that special editions _.A. are available all year round B. are of higher quality than ordinary onesC. sell better than ordinary ones. D. are newly appearing things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。 It is believed that chopsticks have been around for about 5,000 years and that they were first used in China. 36 When fuel was scarce, ancient Chinese people started to cut food into small pieces so it would cook faster and use minimal fuel. Because the pieces were so small, there was no need for a knife at the table so the bite-sized pieces could be picked up with chopsticks. 37 The original Chinese ones were more squared and had blunt ends (a design still common today) whereas the Japanese ones were rounded and had a thinner tip.Around 500 A.D，the use of chopsticks spread to Japan. The first Japanese chopsticks were made out of bamboo. 38 As chopsticks became more popular, the wealthy had their chopsticks made of silver, gold or other precious materials. It was a common belief among many Japanese dynasties that silver chopsticks would turn black if they came in contact with poisoned food. 39 Chopsticks are small but they are adored by many people in the world now. Using chopsticks has been said to improve memory and be useful in learning and improving skills such as Chinese character printing and brush painting. An interesting experiment shows that many joints and muscles are being exercised when you use it. 40 . Anyway, they certainly make you cleverer, dont they? A. Therefore, it was a great way to stay alive.B. Nowadays, chopsticks serve many new functions.C. Even poems have been written to praise them!D. The reason behind their initial extended use in China is quite interesting.E. They were connected to each other, and resembled some underground society.F. Amusingly enough, they were only used during religious ceremonies then.G. With chopsticks spreading to other countries, their shape became diverse.第卷第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） Thanksgiving is coming, and for people in the Easter Seals Rehabilitation(海豹康复)Center in Indiana，the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a good time to get an exciting phone call from an old friend.Last year，it (41)_while Terry Haynie，vice president of the center，was working in the afternoon of November 30“Do you know what timeof year it is?”a (42)_ male voice askedThis meant the (43)_of a mysterious annual treasure hunt“Yes，sir，” Haynie (44)_,“Its Petes time!”Every year，the caller，who (45)_himself only as Pete，telephones the center to send the staff on a (46)_of the two-store building and its grounds to find Petes donation to (47)_ _In the past，this Secret Santa did put money(48)_ in a snowman cookie jar and attached it to candy canes (49)_ a tree by the parking lotIn 2014，his (50)_led staff members out of the door to the back of the building，and toward a Dumpster(大型垃圾装卸车)They (51)_ on the ground near the Dumpster was a mini-Christmas tree hung with 30 new $ 100 billsAt the sight of the (52)_，the staff members always applaud，wave，and yell，“Thank you，Pete!” in the hope that he is (53)_Since 1990, Pete has donatednearly $ 65,000 to the center，which serves 5,000 children (54)_ physical and medical treatment in Indiana，Illinois，and KentuckyPete has always been (55)_ that his donations should only go for the children served at the center. “He always requires us to use his gifts to make Christmas merrierfor the kids whose families cant afford it，”Haynie reportsThe agencys social workers, and preschool teachers will now get busy (56)_ “Petes” helpers.
