I was there, seven years old, scraping my fingers through the 36 , with the false hope of finding a treasure larger than the tiny shell fragments (碎片) that 37 the shore. A man jogged along the waves 38 my direction. When he came near me, he slowed to a walk. I didnt notice him 39 he was almost standing over me. Too young to be shy of strangers, I 40 myself up from the ground. It was 41 that I saw what he was holding in his hands. There, perfectly intact (完好的), was a beautiful cream-colored conch (海螺) shell. He smiled as I 42 in amazement, and then, to my shock, handed it to me. I 43 it before me like a diamond, not believing my eyes. How did he know? “I think this one has your name on it,” he said, and then continued his 44 down the beach. I do not remember his voice, his clothes or 45 his face, but I do still have the seashell, and the greatest lesson Ive ever learned. The whole flight home I held it in my hand as I 46 his act of kindness. Now the shell sits on my bedside table, 47 as bright and big as it was, because a lot of things have changed, but it is still there, a 48 reminder that there is goodness in the world. You see, that man saved me. He saved my belief in the 49 of people. He saved my belief that one can find what means something in life. I 50 my shell every day, and every time I know that I can 51 that day because no matter what, there are good things in my life. In the end, all that we have is what we have 52 for others. The shell is important to me, as important as 53 man who returned to the plane to give me my lost jacket, as important as my 54 my stuffed animal to my neighbor who was moving. Making a difference in 55 life, no matter how big or small, is what truly matters, and that is worth all the treasure in the world.36.A. waterB. sandC. air D. soil37.A. surrounded B. crossed C. litteredD. poured38.A. inB. fromC. toD. on39.A. asB. thoughC. unless D. until40.A. pushedB. tookC. dragged D. kept41.A. thereB. laterC. nextD. then42.A. replied B. received C. staredD. imagined 43.A. settled B. heldC. caught D. gathered 44.A. search B. run C. work D. drive 45.A. even B. justC. hardly D. only46.A. referred to B. turned toC. thought aboutD. called on 47.A. almostB. everC. seldom D. not48.A. quietB. strict C. cheerful D. similar 49.A. ability B. wisdom C. honesty D. kindness50.A. clean B. seeC. bring D. miss 51.A. hold onB. get through C. go over D. put away 52.A. seenB. lostC. doneD. planned 53.A. anotherB. each C. any D. all54.A. comparing B. returning C. givingD. introducing 55.A. yourB. myC. someonesD. everyones第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 选择题（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ATeen Creative Writing Residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts Join other teens for an intensive ten-day writing residency (训练) with Master Writers at the world renowned Atlantic Center for the Arts.The ResidencyThe Teen Creative Writing Residency is a summer writing residency that offers 9th12th grade teens writing workshops and mentorship (辅导) by distinguished authors in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction.

In mailing the chicken, I was careful to stick to the restrictions described in the American Postal Services Domestic Mail Manual 57. This version of the Manual states that: “Adult chickens must be sent by Express Mail. The containers used must pass the standards in International Safe Transit Association Test Procedure 1A; be strong enough to endure normal handling; and the number of birds must not be more than the containers limit.” I mailed the chicken in a wooden box got from a colleague who does research with birds, and mailed the egg in standard packaging obtained through an industrial supplier. I posted both the chicken and the egg at 9:40 am, on a Monday morning, from the Harvard Square post office, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The staff there told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed from there in recent memory, and perhaps ever. The intended destination for both packages was the James A. Farley General Post Office, which is located in Manhattan right next to Penn Station. I took the subway from Harvard Square to the Boston train station, and from there boarded a train to New York City, a distance of about 320 kilometres, arriving that afternoon at Penn Station. I immediately went to the post office, to await the arrivals of the chicken and the egg. The James A. Farley General Post Office is open 24 hours a day, so I was able to wait there until both items arrived. That day, Monday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived. The next day, Tuesday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived. The chicken arrived at 10:31 am, Wednesday. The staff at the post office told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed to the post office in recent memory, and perhaps ever. The egg arrived that same day, at 9:37 pm, 11 hours after the chicken. So, its now quite clear that the chicken came first, the egg second.60. We can learn from the passage that Penn Station is _. A. in New York City B. in Cambridge C. near Harvard Square D. near Boston 61. According to the passage, the author _. A. mailed the chicken and the egg in the same package B. had mailed chickens in the same post office before C. mailed the chicken and the egg in different post offices D. mailed the chicken and the egg by Express Mail 62. The author chose the James A. Farley General Post Office as the destination for the packages most probably because _.A. it is located in Manhattan B. it is open 24 hours a dayC. it offers a good service D. it is convenient for the train station63. The author mailed the chicken and the egg in order to _.A. test the postal service B. have a comfortable journey C. make an experiment D. save time and money CFor most of history scientists and mankind in general considered plants to be passive organisms just with no reason or means of communicating with one another. But new research has revealed that many plants actually chat quite a bit over their own networks, which may also indicate that your aunt isnt quite as crazy as you thought. You know, the one that talks to her petunias (矮牵牛花) and expects an answer. In fact, many plants form internal (内部的) communication networks and are able to exchange information efficiently. These connections enable the plants to share information via internal channels in a manner very similar to computer networks. So what kind of things do plants tell each other? Researcher Josef Stuefer found that one purpose for plants having their own “chat systems” is to warn each other. He and his colleagues were the first to prove that clover (三叶草) plants do indeed warn each other via these network links if enemies are nearby. For example, if one of the plants is attacked by caterpillars (毛虫), it will warn the other members of the network via an internal signal. After receiving a warning, the other plants will strengthen their protective chemical and mechanical resistance so that they are less attractive to advancing caterpillars. This early warning system allows the plants to stay one step ahead of their enemies. Experimental research has revealed that this communication significantly limits the damage to the plants. It is also known that plants have “family values”, with new research revealing they have the ability to recognize close relatives in order to help each other survive. Research found plants from the same species of beach-dwelling wildflowers, for example, grew aggressively (侵略地) alongside unrelated neighbors but were less competitive when they shared soil with their siblings. Some researchers think that plants must communicate through their roots, identifying themselves using tiny chemical signatures specific to each plants family.The research shows that our current concept of plants is probably a poor reflection of reality. Scientists are eager to discover in what ways, and to what extent, plants communicate with each other.64. “Your aunt” is mentioned in the first paragraph to indicate that _.A. plants are very important to people B. plants have the ability to communicateC. people can communicate with plants D. plants are considered to be passive organisms65. We can infer from the passage that clover plants that receive a warning protect themselves against enemies _.A. by fight
