At the airport, one of my partners greeted me with a broad smile. “Welcome to Cuba!” he exclaimed in perfect English, giving me a strong handshake and a hug. The next day, we drove to the research center where he worked. In the conference room, each of us gave a presentation about science and what we hoped to learn from the study of Cuban rivers.
Then, we toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, secretaries, students, and the cook. Some spoke English, and others communicated with me in Spanish while my cooperator translated. I was introduced to each person in their center, and that was what I remembered most.
Then we met again to brainstorm. Together, we studied maps carefully to plan how we were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that the maps I had were outdated and wrong. They left out reservoirs, which was a problem because had we sampled downstream of them, our results would have been misled.
On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table because that’s what teams do--sitting together. When a restaurant couldn’t seat the team without splitting us up, my partners insisted that we move on and find another restaurant with a large enough table.
In 26 years as a professor, I’ve always tried my best to treat my students as valued partners. I have never been a fan of the grade system in the academic world. I urge everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear--through actions, both big and small--that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true team work contributes to better science.
I returned to the United States as a changed scientist. Now, I spend more time listening and making sure that everyone’s voice is heard.

A. Honesty. B. Perseverance.
C. Cooperation spirit. D. Scientific theory.
7. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He used to treat his students unfairly.
B. He used to be misled by other scientists.
C. He focuses on the opinions of the masses now.
D. He speaks highly of the grade system in science now.
C
As we all know, most animals only perform tricks when given treats. However, Kim, the world’s first spider to learn a skill, needs no stimulus (刺激物) to do what she loves—jumping from different heights and distances— upon the instruction of a team of scientists from the University of Manchester.
While the idea of training a spider might sound evil, the researchers’ motives were purely scientific. They are trying to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders’ extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey (猎物) or to escape their enemies. A better understanding of the spiders’ leaps would help experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots.
The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump more than six times the length of her own body from a stationary position. What was even more amazing was that she always landed perfectly. For shorter distances, Kim used a lot of energy, resulting in quick leaps, which the researchers believe probably increases her chances of catching fast-moving prey. The farther the distance, the less extra energy was used, resulting in slower but precise leaps.
Previous studies have indicated that spiders use both their muscles and hydraulic (液压的) pressure—a mechanism by which blood is transferred to their extended legs—to push them off the ground. However, in Kim’s case, her leg muscles alone appeared to be generating enough force for the liftoff. The researchers now intend to do further research to comprehend fully not just the spiders’ jumping technique, but that of other insects as well. “We are familiar with robots that are aimed at taking over human functions, but there are millions of insects in the world that perform specific functions that we have interest in adapting to robotics,” says Nabawy, the leading engineer of the researching team.
8. What is the purpose of scientists’ researching the jumping spider
A. To have fun and relax. B. To help develop robots.
C. To get rid of spiders. D. To protect this species.
9. Why did Kim use a lot of energy for short leaps
A. To jump high enough.
B. To land more precisely.
C. To catch fast-moving prey.
D. To increase chances of escape.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to
A. Jumping technique. B. Leg muscle.
C. Further research. D. Energy for liftoff.
11. What can be a suitable title of this passage
A. Jumping Techniques Used by Jumping Spider
B. Jumping Spider Inspired Creating Robots
C Animals Perform Tricks if Provided with Treats
D. The World’s First Spider That Jumps on Demand
D
An astronaut crew of private citizens has been launched to the International Space Station(ISS).The launch happened in Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.
The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.
NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.
The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit(轨道) economy, or the “LEO economy”.
The latest mission’s crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.
But Axiom executives(经理、主管领导) say their mission is very different. “We are not space tourists,” Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.
Axiom’s co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as “the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit”. He adds: “We’re like in the early days of the Internet, and we haven’t even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we’re going to be providing in space.”
12. Who have been launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to the ISS
A The four-member private astronaut crew.
B. The four crew members from SpaceX.
C. The four professional astronauts.
D. The four private space tourists.
13. Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1
A. Mark Pathy. B. Larry Conner.
C. Eytan Stibbe. D. Michael Lopez-Alegria.
14. Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists
A. They will help with the astronauts’ work in the ISS.
B. They will experience weightlessness.
C. They will do scientific researches in the ISS.
D. They will just fly to the edge of space.
15. What does Kam think of the LEO economy
A. It is the beginning of space tourism.
B. It is just an imagination.
C. It is faced with more uncertainties.
D. It is a promising business.

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house, listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm, ”he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Then, we toured every lab in the building. I met scientists, technicians, secretaries, students, and the cook. Some spoke English, and others communicated with me in Spanish while my cooperator translated. I was introduced to each person in their center, and that was what I remembered most.
Then we met again to brainstorm. Together, we studied maps carefully to plan how we were going to collect samples. Had it not been for the Cubans, I would have been unaware that the maps I had were outdated and wrong. They left out reservoirs, which was a problem because had we sampled downstream of them, our results would have been misled.
On the last night of the trip, we searched for a restaurant that could seat all 14 of us at one table because that’s what teams do--sitting together. When a restaurant couldn’t seat the team without splitting us up, my partners insisted that we move on and find another restaurant with a large enough table.
In 26 years as a professor, I’ve always tried my best to treat my students as valued partners. I have never been a fan of the grade system in the academic world. I urge everyone working with me to feel as though they are part of a team. But my Cuban partners take teamwork to another level entirely. They make it clear--through actions, both big and small--that all team members are valued, that everyone is equal, and that true team work contributes to better science.
I returned to the United States as a changed scientist. Now, I spend more time listening and making sure that everyone’s voice is heard.

As we all know, most animals only perform tricks when given treats. However, Kim, the world’s first spider to learn a skill, needs no stimulus (刺激物) to do what she loves—jumping from different heights and distances— upon the instruction of a team of scientists from the University of Manchester.
While the idea of training a spider might sound evil, the researchers’ motives were purely scientific. They are trying to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders’ extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey (猎物) or to escape their enemies. A better understanding of the spiders’ leaps would help experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots.
The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump more than six times the length of her own body from a stationary position. What was even more amazing was that she always landed perfectly. For shorter distances, Kim used a lot of energy, resulting in quick leaps, which the researchers believe probably increases her chances of catching fast-moving prey. The farther the distance, the less extra energy was used, resulting in slower but precise leaps.
Previous studies have indicated that spiders use both their muscles and hydraulic (液压的) pressure—a mechanism by which blood is transferred to their extended legs—to push them off the ground. However, in Kim’s case, her leg muscles alone appeared to be generating enough force for the liftoff. The researchers now intend to do further research to comprehend fully not just the spiders’ jumping technique, but that of other insects as well. “We are familiar with robots that are aimed at taking over human functions, but there are millions of insects in the world that perform specific functions that we have interest in adapting to robotics,” says Nabawy, the leading engineer of the researching team.
8. What is the purpose of scientists’ researching the jumping spider
A. To have fun and relax. B. To help develop robots.
C. To get rid of spiders. D. To protect this species.
9. Why did Kim use a lot of energy for short leaps
A. To jump high enough.
B. To land more precisely.
C. To catch fast-moving prey.
D. To increase chances of escape.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to
A. Jumping technique. B. Leg muscle.
C Further research. D. Energy for liftoff.
11. What can be a suitable title of this passage
A. Jumping Techniques Used by Jumping Spider
B. Jumping Spider Inspired Creating Robots
C. Animals Perform Tricks if Provided with Treats
D. The World’s First Spider That Jumps on Demand
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B

An astronaut crew of private citizens has been launched to the International Space Station(ISS).The launch happened in Florida’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.
The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.
NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.
The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit(轨道) economy, or the “LEO economy”.
The latest mission’s crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.
But Axiom executives(经理、主管领导) say their mission is very different. “We are not space tourists,” Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.
Axiom’s co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as “the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit”. He adds: “We’re like in the early days of the Internet, and we haven’t even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we’re going to be providing in space.”
12. Who have been launched from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to the ISS
A. The four-member private astronaut crew.
B. The four crew members from SpaceX.
C. The four professional astronauts.
D. The four private space tourists.
13. Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1
A. Mark Pathy. B. Larry Conner.
C. Eytan Stibbe. D. Michael Lopez-Alegria.
14. Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists
A. They will help with the astronauts’ work in the ISS.
B. They will experience weightlessness.
C. They will do scientific researches in the ISS.
D. They will just fly to the edge of space.
15. What does Kam think of the LEO economy
A. It is the beginning of space tourism.
B. It is just an imagination.
C. It is faced with more uncertainties.
D. It is a promising business.

My Dream
Good afternoon, my dear friends,
Everyone has a dream. Some hope to be a doctor to help others relieve pain while others dream about travelling. My dream is to be a lawyer, for I’m an outgoing boy who cares about right and wrong. I will have a great sense of achievement if I help others.
To realize my dream, I’m going to take selective courses to get familiar with basic laws, reading more books on law as well. After graduation from college, I will set up my own law firm to help more people in need.
I know it is tough but I do believe if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.
Thank you.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给的情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad’s friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house, listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm, ”he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn’t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语以为你写好。
Paragraph 1: Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.

Paragraph 2: We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Dad and I found it was so cute that we decided to chase it. After a while, we were completely lost in the forest. There was nothing left in our sight but the trees. “We may not be able to make it back to the farm house in time for supper.” I thought to myself. After a series of fruitless attempts to find a way out, we felt hungry and tired.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark. We got stuck in the forest. And an unexpected shower added to the difficulty of us in finding a way home, for all the tracks we had made disappeared because of the rain. I was almost on the edge of breaking down when my father said, “Don’t worry, my son. I remember there is a river near the farm house. Find the river and we will be back home.” Finally, we found the river and got back to the house along it. Needless to say, we ate a late dinner.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了父亲带儿子去“西部荒野”，结果我们去了父亲的朋友保罗叔叔的农场，喂鸡牧羊，体验农场生活；见父亲和叔叔骑马很是潇洒，儿子心生向往，于是亲身上马体验。后来和父亲为了追兔子，儿子和父亲在森林里迷路了，被困在森林里。最后是父亲找到了河流，沿着河流回到了家里。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，一只小兔子跳出来挡在我的马前面。”可知，第一段可描写作者和父亲为了追兔子在森林里迷了路，以及他们在森林里的所见所闻。
②由第二段首句内容“我们不知道自己身在何处，天也越来越黑了。”可知，第二段可描写作者和父亲是如何找到了路回到家里的。
2.续写线索：追兔子——迷路——被困——找到河——沿着河回家——吃晚餐
