They met the three at the village square.The soldiers spoke quietly and had an idea. The first soldier then turned to the village eldersYour tired fields have left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have：the secret of how to make soup from stonesNaturally the villagers were wondering what was going on. Soon a fire was put to the towns greatest pot and the soldiers dropped in three smooth stonesNow this will be a fine soup, said the second soldier; but a little salt and some parsley(欧芹)would make it wonderful!” A villager shouted excitedly, “What luck! Ive got some!” And off she ran, returning with a basket of parsleyThen carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great potThey ate and danced and sang well into the night, refreshed by the feast and their new-found friendsIn the morning the three soldiers awoke to find the entire village standing before themAt their feet lay a bag of the villages best bread and cheeseYou have given us the greatest of gifts：the secret of how to make soup from stones, said an elder, and we shall never forget The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said：There is no secret, but this is certain：working together, with each of us contributing a bit, we can be successful”Then the soldiers went off24.

Which can be regarded as the best title of the story?ANo man is wise at all timesBA friend in need is a friend indeedCMany hands make light workDGod helps those who help themselves C At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off. But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers(同龄人)：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldnt wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me. One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all As. I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on whats important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and thats why I have turned out so strong and independent.28. When the author decided to go to Puerto Rico，his mother_. Awanted to go with him Bdidnt allow him to do so Cworried about his safety Dasked his grandmother for advice 29. The author decided to move away for college to_. Akeep away from his mother Bbe independent in the outside world Cmake his mother unhappy Dbe different from his peers 30. We can learn from the third paragraph that the authors mother_. Awas too strict with him Bused to expect nothing from him Ccared little about his learning Dhad a high expectation of him 31. In the passage，the author mainly wants to tell us_. Ahis long way to becoming independent Bhis good relationship with his mother Cthe importance of a mothers trust and support Dhis mothers deep love for him DFrom sleeping standing up to shutting down half of their brain, animals have some strange sleeping habits. Now some of these unusual habit have been shown in a chart. This chart shows that little brown bats are very lethargic , sleeping for around 19. 5 hours per day. This long period of sleep is thought to be a way of conserving energy and it means brown bats only hunt for a few hours each night when their insect food is available. However, other animals can swim or fly while sleeping. For example, dolphins and whales sleep while keeping half of their brain alert (警觉), so they dont drown. The method is known aslogging and it has been observed in bottlenose dolphins, which keep half of their brain at a low level of alertness. This allows the dolphin to keep enough consciousness to carry on breathing through its blowhole. While sea otters arent alert while they sleep, they form rafts（木筏）so they are not separated from each other. The creatures sometimes hold hands or paws when they sleep and typically eat, sleep and rest while floating in groups of rafts.32. The underlined word lethargic in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _. A. energetic B. active C. sleepy D. movable33. Why do little brown bats have a long period of sleep? A. To avoid sunshine. B. To wait for their insect food. C. To relax themselves. D. To save more energy.34. How do dolphins avoid drowning while sleeping? A. By taking extra naps. B. By keeping half of their brain alert. C. By holding hands or paws. D. By breathing through their blowholes.35. What do seaotters do in order not to be separated from each other A. They dont sleep. B. They float on rafts. C. They hold hands all the time. D. They float in groups.第二节 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。选项中有两处为多余选项。The days when a cellphone was used for nothing beyond calling and texting are goneToday，we turn smart phones into magical machines with apps that transform them into musical instruments or business machines or video playersBut it turns out that we are only searching the surfaceWho knew that smart phones would make pretty good satellites? 36 _Smart phones forecast the weather Networking expert OpenSignal has discovered something interesting：the sensors in Android phonesdesigned to measure battery temperature，light，pressure and 80 on can be used to generate surprisingly accurate weather reports_37_Smart phones save the rainforests Detecting illegal logging(盗伐)may sound like a novel app， 38 ：in Indonesia，the non-profit organization Rainforest Connectionwants to use donated Android phones to detect illegal loggingAs New scientist reports，“The phones are equipped with solar panels specifically designed to take advantage of the brief periods when light reaches the forest floorTheir microphones stay on at all time，and the software listens for the sound of a chainsaw(链锯)”_39_ Researchers at the university of Illinois have developed an iPhones app that turns the phone into a fully featured mobile medical lab that uses the phones camera to detect proteins，bacteria，viruses and other organismsSmart phones drive cars Googles self-driving cars carry around $30，000 of high-tech hardware and sensors，but students at Australias Griffith University think they can get the job done with a single smart phone_40_ ASmart phones serve as mobile medical labs BGet enough phones involved and you will have a weather sensing network CIt has been used in many fields DThey have built a model that relies mainly on the phones camera and builtin GPSEbut its a serious business FHere are some uses for smart phones the makers? probably didnt imagine Gso it can be used to detect the sound of a chainsaw 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空The measure of a mans real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. -Thomas Macaulay Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York.
