He was the first Aboriginal (土著的) Australian to write published books. He also worked hard to make life better for Aboriginal people.David Unaipon was born in South Australia, in 1872. As a young man, he loved to read and was interested in science and music. He thought a lot about new ways to fix engineering problems. Between the years 1909 and 1944, Unaipon made nine important inventions. He also made drawings for a helicopter design. He got the idea from the Australian boomerang (回飞镖) and the way it moved through the air. This happened in 1914, before we had helicopters.Unaipon lived most of his life in Adelaide and worked for the Aborigines Friends Association. He worked and travelled around southeastern Australia for fifty years. Sometimes, while travelling from town to town, he was told he couldnt stay in a hotel because he was black, so he understood the problems of racism (种族主义).In 1925, Unaipon became the first Aboriginal writer to be published. His first published writing was an article in Sydneys Daily Telegraph newspaper. The article had the title:“Aboriginals: Their Traditions and Customs”. He wrote many other articles for newspapers and magazines, getting publicity about the rights of Aboriginal people. He also wrote about the need for white and black people to work together and the need for equal rights for both black and white Australians. He was well educated in both cultures, and in 1929 he helped with a government survey of Aboriginal health and interests.David Unaipon died in 1967 at the age of 95, in the same year that Aboriginal people were first counted as part of Australias population. In 1995, David Unaipons picture was put on the Australian fifty-dollar note, with a drawing of one of his inventions.24. Which of the following can describe David Unaipon when he was young?A. He was calm. B. He was brave.C. He was patient. D. He was creative.25. What can we learn about David Unaipons helicopter design?A. It was the model for modern helicopters.B. It was a copy of another helicopter.C. It was based on a local tool.D. It was done in his 30s.26. What do we know about David Unaipon as a writer?A. He was the first Aboriginal writer.B. He was concerned about racial inequality.C. He finished most of his writings while travelling.D. He had his writings published mainly in newspapers.27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. David Unaipon died an unexpected death.B. David Unaipon was proud of his inventions.C. David Unaipons contributions were recognised.D. David Unaipons drawing abilities were appreciated.CIf you could design your own school and study whatever you wanted, what would you choose to learn?This isnt an unlikely question for students at Monument Mountain Regional High School, who are taking part in an activity called the Independent Project. The program is a special school within the Massachusetts public high school thats completely run by students - no teachers, parents, or adults are allowed - and theyre in charge of deciding their whole curriculum (课程).These teens homework and what they study in the classroom are all totally up to them. Charles Tsai, a journalist, made a 15-minute film about the project that shows the wide variety of activities different students join.Students arent taking this lightly - instead of reacting irresponsibly (不负责任地) to the freedom to design their own studies, theyre dealing with their own interests by writing poetry (诗歌) collections, learning instruments and taking flight lessons.The program is this: On Mondays students come up with questions in relation to one of their school subjects, then they spend the rest of the week researching and coming up with possible conclusions to these questions. On Fridays, they present this information to their classmates.“I think the more choices we have in our school, the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that we need,”Principal (校长) Marianne Young explains in the film.In the video, teens express their satisfaction with the program because it holds different kinds of learners, even those who dont always succeed in a traditional study situation.“I have difficulty in reading and writing. School has always been a big problem for me,” one student named Sergio explains in the video. “If it were not for this program, I dont know if Id be graduating - I dont know where Id be right now. I think this has really been my savior (救星) and got me through the last two years of high school.”28. What is the Independent Project about?A. Various activities for students.B. Student-centered curricula.C. A self-designed school.D. Teacher-free classes.29. How does the program work?A. Teachers work out a curriculum for students.B. Students research topics they put forward.C. Teachers work together with students.D. Students serve as teachers in turn.30. Whats Marianne Youngs attitude towards the project?A. Curious. B. Doubtful.C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic.31. What do we know about Sergio?A. He finds it hard to graduate.B. He has bitter memories of high school.C. He feels grateful to the Independent Project.D. He performs badly in the Independent Project.DThe color of food might affect just how much you want to eat them，but what about the birds in your neighborhood？Would they care what color their food is？Try this out for a science fair project，or just to learn something new while making your local birds happy.Begin this experiment with the question“What color of birdseed（鸟食），if any，will birds like the most?”, and then make a hypothesis (假设) based on your question. An example might be“Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colors of birdseed.”You should get several bird feeders. Purchase birdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into a bowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix them up well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed is colored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seed that has not been coloredthis is called the control and it will give you something to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the same location，and wait for your feathered friends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used to feeding from a feederit can take birds over a week to find new feeders.Observe your bird feeders whenever possible，and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. A ruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feeders and keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time，you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more than others.Once your experiment is done，you will be able to go back to your hypothesis and see if it is correct. Remember, its not bad if your hypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that youve learned something from your experiment，and hopefully you had some fun doing it.32. Whats the purpose of this experiment?A. To see what color birds like most.B. To make local birds happy.C. To see if the color of food affects birds.D. To find how local birds feed themselves.33. Whats the second step for this experiment?A. Observing bird feeders.B. Raising a question.C. Collecting all the data.D. Making a hypothesis.34. The underlined words“feathered friends”in Paragraph 3 refer to .A. feeders B. birdsC. neighborsD. locals35. What is the most important about the bird feeders?A. They are filled with some water.B. They are placed in secret places.C. They are painted in different colors.D. They are all the same size and type.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。We are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives 36 The truth is that you will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life, whether it is in your personal life or career.
