But those photos dont usually end up in a scrapbook (剪贴簿) or on his bedroom walls.When Timmy was five, he found out that his aunt Bev had lung cancer. He wanted to do something to help her. His first idea was to sell his photos from a lemonade-type stand in front of his house in Pennsylvania. “My mom said it wouldnt work because we were not on a busy street,” Timmy explains.His next idea was to have an art show. Timmy decorated his home with candles, flowers, and white lights. Then he arranged his photos. Timmys mom, Sheila, remembers: “Our dining-room table was filled, the living room-everything was filled with photos.” Friends, family, and Timmys teachers came to the show. He raised more than $300 for cancer research that night. Aunt Bev was “very happy and excited”, he says.After a local newspaper wrote a story about Timmys photos, a volunteer offered to help him set up a website. As people learned about his cause, called Camera for a Cure, Timmy began receiving invitations to sell his pictures at art galleries and fund-raisers. Since then, his work has appeared in more than 20 shows.When Timmy is at a show, he greets each customer and talks about what he was thinking when he took his photos. And he always shares facts about lung cancer. Sometimes donations and sales are slow, but that doesnt bother him. “It doesnt matter how much money we made because we just raised awareness,” he says. Timmy knows that finding a cure for lung cancer will take time and effort. So Timmy will keep doing his part by shooting and selling photos of the things he sees.24. Before Timmy started Camera for a Cure, he_.A. always sold lemonade in front of his house.B. liked making scrapbooks by using his photos.C. had developed a deep interest in photography.D. had been providing photos for a local newspaper.25.

For Timmy, whats the benefit of selling his photos at art galleries?A. Raising money more quickly.B. Increasing public awareness of lung cancer.C. Exchanging ideas with other artists.D. Improving his photographic skills.27. Which of the following can best describe Timmy?A. Proud and confident.B. Imaginative but cautious.C. Generous but self-centered.D. Determined and warm-hearted.CAre you a social media addict? Are you always checking your smartphone to see how many likes youve received for your latest post? Maybe you feel comforted by the sound that someone has sent you a message?Dont worry, youre not alone. We check our phones an average of 150 times a day, and around 30% of the total time spent online is devoted to social media. Some experts now fear this habit could be damaging our mental health.This is something particularly bothering young adults, according to a study from the University of Pittsburgh. It found the more they used social media, the more likely they were to be depressed. In tests, those people who checked social media frequently were 2.7 times more likely to be depressed compared to those who spent most of their time generally surfing the internet, who had just 1.7 times the risk.Some of us certainly feel sad when were ignored on social media sites, or when we see someone else having a better time than us. But depression is a more serious condition and clinical psychologist, Abigael San, recently told the BBC that, Its a real issue, and its been getting significantly worse over the last 5-6 years. You can get so addicted that it takes you away from your real relationships. However, Abigael does admit that social media is more likely to worsen pre-existing issues than directly cause them.Other research by Glasgow University found that teenagers are affected by the 24-hour demands of their social media accounts. It found that those with higher levels of emotional investment in social media, and who use it at night, were more likely to feel depressed and anxious.Despite these warning signs, why do some of us continue to keep clicking? Well, I suppose we all want to be liked and we dont want to miss out on a conversation thats taking place online. But we need to know when to switch off our virtual（虚拟的）online world and connect with the real world instead.28. Who is more likely to be depressed according to the study?A. People checking social media frequently.B. People surfing the Internet regularly.C. People receiving a few “likes” for their posts.D. People longing for more messages.29. Why does the author give a quote（引文） from Abigael San in Para.4?A. To introduce the coming topic.B. To give a more supporting example.C. To stress the importance of social media.D. To explain the cause of a social media addict.30. Why do people get addicted to social media according to the author?A. Because they have more time and money.B. Because the virtual world is much more attractive.C. Because they want to attract more attention.D. Because emotional investment in social media benefits them.31. Whats the passage mainly about?A. Its common for teenagers to be a social addict.B. Using smartphones does harm to peoples health.C. Its better to stay away from virtual online world.D. Social media addiction contributes to depression.DNEW DELHIIn Indias space center on the barrier island of Sriharikota, the white-jacketed scientists held their breaths.The countrys trusty red-and-white satellite launch vehicle had lifted off moments before and blasted into orbit.The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle C-37 was about to perform a delicate maneuver(操纵，任务)carefully sending 104 satellites into the heavens, the highest number ever attempted in one mission. One Indian space analyst on television likened the complicated maneuver to dropping children at different bus stops.About 10 a.m. Wednesday, the announcement came: All the satellites had been successfully launched. The scientists breathed a collective sigh of relief, and backslapping and applause followed.“This is a great moment for each and every one of us. Today we have made history,” project manager B. Jayakumar said afterward.

What does the underlined word “likened” mean in the 3rd paragraph?A. contributedB. comparedC. preferredD. tied33. What does Indias Prime Minister Modi imply according to the 8th paragraph?A.

Whats the feeling of the scientists after launching all the satellites successfully?A. Relaxed B. Nervous C. Upset D. Surprised35. It can be inferred that after the success in the 104-satellite launch, India will .A. become No. 1 in the global space marketB. take up a larger market share in the futureC. show its ability among local competitorsD. have an order of $300 billion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。Rujuta Teredesai grew up in Pune, a city in India.
