As a seventh-grader, he studied on the Internet and taught himself programming. As a high school freshman, he passed the AP Computer Science A exam with a 5, the highest score possible. Because his high school didnt teach programming, he developed his own online course and helped classmates get through it.Everything he did came from his interest. “I just fell in love with computer science.” Jawa said. Alone the way, he encouraged classmates to learn programming, too.Trying to make the knowledge easy for anyone to learn on the internet, Jawa set about creating his own online course, with easy-to-follow lessons and invisible hands writing formulas(公式) on a board. He included quizzes and tests too.The course has so far attracted 3,200 students across the Unites Stated and in 120 countries including China, Ukraine and Algeria. It shows, Jawa said, the huge need for programming lessons.When video lecturing, “I deliver it like Im talking from one high school student to another,” Jawa said, “Its always great to make it as clear and fun as possible, and to try to keep my voice as energetic as possible.”He does that, too, when teaching members of the computer science club he founded at Washington.“Hes pretty amazing,” said Bob Moran, headmaster of Washington High School, who saw him lead the club. “He was just a fantastic teacher, clear, organized and entertaining. When a student got the right answer, he would throw them a piece of candy.”21. Which can be the main reason for Jawa creating the online course?A. He has a great interest in teaching.B. The online teaching can make him a hero.C. He wants to help his classmates and others to learn the subject.D. There is a huge need for programming lessons around the world.22. What do we know about Jawas online lessons?A. They are hard to understand.B. Theyve attracted learners around the world.C. They are taught in different languages.D. They are easy and fun without quizzes and tests.23. What the headmaster said in the last paragraph shows that _.A. Jawa has always been a great club leaderB. Jawa is a hero in Washington High SchoolC. Jawa is very good at computer programmingD. Jawa knows how to teach and encourage studentsBWe all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others.Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just Do It.”Recently researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners.This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1.200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, hear, attack or stroke.One of the researchers is a man named D. C. Lee, a professor of Iowa State University Compared to non-runners, he said, runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “Compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. Also, runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）, including heart attack and stroke.”D. C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr. Lee said slower runners and those who only ran once or twice a week were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “And also we looked at the inning over time and we found that persistent runners (over six years) showed the biggest benefits, as well.”24What does the author mean by quoting Nikes ad. “Just Do it”?AIts time for you to start running.BNike has always kept its promise.CYou have to run as fast as possible.DRunning does you good whatever its form.25The researchers got the results of their study mainly by _.Aanalyzing numbers Bhaving interviewsCdoing experiments Ddoing field survey26What can we learn from Paragraph 5?AHeart disease is the biggest killer of mankind.BRunners are generally healthier than non-runners.CHeart disease has killed more people than cancer.DRunning greatly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.27What can we know according to Mr.Lee?ASlower runners and faster runners benefit equally from running.BYou can benefit most if your speed is over 10km per hour.CYou must control your speed properly while running.DThe further you run, the more benefits you will get.CI was wandering around the Albuquerque International Support airport. My flight had been delayed and I heard an announcement: “If anyone near Gate A-4 understands Arabic（阿拉伯语）, please come to the gate immediately.” Gate A-4 was my own gate. I went there.An older woman was crumpled（蜷缩成一团的）on the floor, crying loud. In her traditional Palestinian dress, she reminded me of my grandmother.“Talk to her,” urged the flight agent. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this.”I bent over to put my arm around the woman and spoke uncertainly. “Shu-dow-a, shu-bid-uck, habibti? Stanischway, min fadlick, shu-bit-se-wee?” She stopped crying. She thought the flight had been called off. She needed to be in El Paso for a medical treatment the next day. I said, “Youll get there, just late. Who is picking you up? Lets call him.”We called her son. In English, I told him that I would stay with his mother until we got on the plane. She talked with him. Then we called her other sons just for fun. Then we called my dad and they spoke for a while in Arabic and found out that they had several shared friends. After that, I called some Palestinian poets I knew and let them chat with her.She was, laughing a lot but then, patting my knee and answering questions. She pulled a bag of homemade cookies filled with dates and nuts and topped with sugar from her bag and offered them to the people at the gate. To my amazement, no one declined. It was like a sacrament（圣餐）. The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo- We were all smiling, covered with the same sugar.I looked around the gate and thought, “This is the world I want to live in, one with no anxiety. This can still happen anywhere”, I thought. Not everything is lost.28Why did the old woman burst into tears at the boarding gate?AShe thought she couldnt make it for her treatment.BHer flight was called off because of bad weather.CShe couldnt make herself well understood.DHer flight ticket seemed to have got lost.29What can we learn about the author?AHer father was a relative of the older womanBShe took the same flight with the older woman.CShe was highly skilled in speaking Arabic.DHer grandmother saw her off at the airport.30Which words can best describe the author?AOutstanding and generous. BClever and brave.CPatient and creative. DWarm-hearted and thoughtful.第二节(共5个小题；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。Conflict (矛盾) is pretty much unavoidable when you work with others.31 How you handle that conflict determines whether it works to the teams advantage.You can choose to ignore it, complain about it, blame someone for it, or try to deal with it through suggestions; or you can be direct, clarify what is going on, and attempt to reach a settlement through common techniques like negotiation or compromise (妥协). 32 It has to be dealt with positively and with a plan, or its too easy to get pulled into the argument and create an even larger mess.33 Healthy and constructive conflict is a part of high-functioning teams. Conflict arises from differences between people; the same differences that often make diverse teams more effective than those made up of people with similar experience. When people with varying viewpoints, experiences, skills, and opinions are tasked with a project or challenge, the combined effort can far surpass what any group of similar individual could achieve. 34Understanding and appreciating the various viewpoints involved in conflict are key factors in its settlement. 35 The important thing is to keep a healthy balance of constructive difference of opinion, and avoid negative conflict thats destructive (破坏性的).Getting to, and keeping that balance requires well-developed team skills, particularly the ability to settle conflict when it does happens, and the ability to keep it healthy and avoid conflict in the day-to-day course of team working.A. Conflict isnt necessarily a bad thing, though.B. These are key skills for all team members to develop.C. You should look at conflict solution first, then at preventing it.D. The negative experiences will be replaced by positive ones.E. Its clear that conflict has to be dealt with, but the question is how.F. People have different viewpoints and those differences may become conflict.G. Team members must be open to these differences and not let them rise into serious arguments.第三部分:语言运用(共三节，满分45分)第一节:完形填空(共20个小题；每小题1分，满分20分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。I was looking at some photo albums today.
