A
He Jiang, a postgraduate(研究生) in biology, will become the first Chinese student to give a speech in the commencement(毕业典礼) at Harvard University on May 26.
Given the highest honor by the university, He Jiang, who was born in a small village in Hunan Province, said, "People in China often believe that it's useless to study and children from the countryside cannot be successful in the future. However, I cannot agree with them. Education can change a person's life. I hope my experience can encourage the students from the countryside to spare no effort in study and make their dreams come true."
Different from many other families in the village, his parents never thought about finding a job in big cities and leaving their two sons at home without their care. His father was strict about their studies. He and his younger brother studied at home while the other kids in the village played in the fields. Unlike his strict father, his mother took her sons' side when her husband scolded the boys. She preferred to sit with her sons when they studied rather than chat with other women in the village.
Getting the chance to speak at the commencement is no accident. During his first days in Harvard, it was quite difficult for him to follow the professors in class and he was speechless in campus because of his poor English. Instead of giving up, He Jiang spent all his free time on English. He also made friends with natives to improve his spoken English. One year later, he had little difficulty in class and soon became one of the top students in his class. With the encouragement from Professor Diana Eck, He Jiang decided to apply(申请) for the chance to speak at the commencement." Few Chinese students had applied before, but I wanted to have a try. I just want to realize my idea of letting more people hear the voice from China and telling them that China is not what it used to be." said He Jiang. After beating three students from Harvard Kennedy School in the third and final round, He Jiang made it to get the chance to speak at the commencement.
He Jiang will go to Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduating from Harvard.
26．Where will He Jiang give the speech
A．Harvard University. B．Hunan Province.
C．Harvard Kennedy School. D．Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
27．The underlined part "spare no effort in study" means "______".
A．get ready for study B．try their best in study C．enjoy themselves in study D．be interested in study
28．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．He Jiang is the only child in the family.
B．Both of He Jiang's parents were very strict with him.
C．He Jiang's parents never tried to find a job in a big city.
D．He Jiang often played in the fields with other kids in the village.
29．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us ______.
A．how He Jiang got the chance B．how hardworking He Jiang was

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is made up of many different kinds of gases. It is so big that 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter! And it has 79 moons. Some of its moons are like small planets, and others are pieces of rock and ice. Studying Jupiter’s moons has helped scientists learn more about the solar system. But the moon that scientists are most interested in is Europa.
The conditions on Europa make it the most likely place beyond Earth to have life in our solar system. It is covered in a layer of ice, and some scientists believe a liquid (流动的) ocean lies under the icy surface. If this is true, Europa may have simple forms of life in these oceans. The creatures on Europa would probably be too small to see without a microscope (显微镜). But the idea of anything at all living on Europa is very exciting.
Right now, we cannot explore Europa because it is too cold and too far away to send people there. The spacecrafts and robots we have are not dependable enough to land on the surface. But scientists have big plans. In the future, they hope to send one robot to melt (融化) some of the ice on Europa’s surface, and another robot to swim through its oceans. The information that these robots gather could help find out whether there is life in Europa’s oceans.
If we eventually find some form of life on Europa, then it is almost certain that life formed independently in two places around the same star. If so, it would be reasonable to believe that life springs up in the universe quite easily once there are the necessary ingredients, and that life might be found throughout our galaxy (银河系), and the universe. If life were found on Europa, how might it change your view of the universe and our place in it
31．What is the passage mostly about
A．Life on Europa. B．Jupiter’s many moons.
C．Scientists’ search for new life. D．The problem with exploring outer space.
32．What does the underlined “moon” mean in Paragraph 1
A．月球 B．恒星 C．行星 D．卫星
33．Europa is best described as ________.
A．cool and dry B．icy and mysterious
C．warm and full of life D．cold and uninteresting
34．Which of these explains why scientists think life could exist on Europa
A．Europa is one of Jupiter’s 79 moons.
B．Jupiter is the solar system’s largest planet.
C．Europa has a layer of ice that may have liquid below it.
D．The creatures would be too small to see without a microscope.
35．What can we infer from the passage
A．Scientists are most interested in Europa because of its size.
B．Scientists will not be able to explore Europa until people are sent there.
C．If creatures found on Europa were too small, scientists would be disappointed.
D．If life were found on Europa, it might change man’s view of his place in the universe.
C
In the future, people may travel to Mars by water﹣powered spaceship! Today’s spaceships are fine for getting things into space, but they are not so good at travelling long distances. These spaceships burn chemical fuels（化学燃料）and they are very expensive. Scientists say that a water-powered spaceship could make the trip to Mars much cheaper. The idea is just in the planning stages now, but scientists think such a spaceship could be developed soon.
The key to the water﹣powered spaceship is the engine（发动机）. Regular engines push spaceships by burning fuel. The water engine will use steam, created by solar panels that heat water to a high temperature. Of course, the spaceship will have to carry a lot of water for the long trip to Mars.
One US company has already developed a spaceship like this. These spaceships are made of a strong material. Two of them have already been sent up into space, using rockets and then later filled with air. “Balloon” spaceships could be very large and carry enough water for a long trip. With the “Balloon” spaceships, enough water could be carried to power the engines and grow food during the trip. And the people on the spaceship might even get to take a hot bath!
Scientists say the biggest advantage of such a spaceship would be its cost. The “Balloon” spaceship uses water to push it through space and costs about one thirtieth of a normal spaceship. Such savings naturally encourage continued research into balloon spaceships and water engines. If these scientists are correct, we may soon be on our way to Mars in a spaceship powered by water.
36．Which of the following statements is true ________
A．Chinese scientists have developed the water﹣powered spaceships. B．Scientists are thinking about developing water﹣powered spaceships
C．It takes people a lot less money to send today’s spaceships into space. D．Fuels﹣burned spaceships are much cheaper than water﹣powered ones.
37．The water﹣powered spaceships have to carry lots of water ________.
A．to burn much water to make fuel B．just to use plenty of water in space
C．to provide enough steam for the engine D．to push spaceships to travel long distances
38．Astronauts use the rest of the water in the “Balloon” spaceships to do the following EXCEPT ________.
A．blowing up a balloon B．growing something to eat C．taking a hot bath D．starting the engine
39．The underlined “it” in the last paragraph refers to（指代）________.
A．the planet Mars B．water as “fuel” C．the “Balloon” spaceship D．a normal spaceship
40．What’s the main purpose of this passage ________
A．To introduce the fuel used by different space ships. B．To describe the advantages of the water﹣powered spaceship.
C．To let people know America has invented water﹣powered spaceships. D．To tell us that humans may travel to Mars by water﹣powered spaceship
D
In 30 years from now, what will we eat Will the food still be the same as it is now
The United Nations says that there will be over 9 billion people in the world by 2050. Our food needs will grow by 70%. What we eat now may not be enough for humans in the future. That is to say, we'll have to turn to something else. But what else can we eat Here are a few possible choices.
Veggie(Vegetable) meat
A new kind of hamburger is now popular in the US. It looks the same as any other hamburger, and so is the taste. But it's actually a "beef" burger made out of plants. The company behind the burger, Impossible Foods, uses peas and potatoes to make the "beef". They take coloring, protein(蛋白质)and fats from these plants and mix them together.
Making meat out of plants uses less water and land than raising animals for meat. It also creates fewer greenhouse gases. Some food companies are making chicken, pork and other meat out of plants, too—follow the same steps as making the "beef".
Insects
Insects take up little space and don't make much waste. They also have more protein than beef, chicken and pork. This makes insects another possible food of the future.
It's common for people in some places to eat whole insects. But most people probably won't want to see the insects they eat. So in the future, people will first turn insects used for food into powder(粉末). Then they can use the powder to make other foods like chips, protein bars, biscuits and so on.
Algae
The BBC says algae farming could become the world's biggest farming industry in the future. They point out that algae is cheap and grows very quickly. Also, it's very nutritious(有营养的). It has much more protein and oil than many other plants.
Besides eating algae as a dish on its own, people may also use algae oil and algae butter in the future. Some algae has a strong taste. The UK scientists are trying to use algae to take the place of salt.
Reason: Traditional food may not 1 of people in the future because of the rising population. Result predictions: ☆Humans will have enough food. ☆Future food is good for both 2 .
Veggie meat Insects Algae
Advantages ☆has the same looks and tastes as any other 3 ☆uses less water and land than raising animals ☆creates fewer greenhouse gases ☆take up little space ☆make less waste ☆have more prolein ☆cheap and grows quickly ☆rich in protein and oil for humans ☆used to get oil from and make butter ☆possible to take the place of salt because of its 5
Producing processes 1st:take coloring, protein and fats from plants 2nd: mix coloring, protein and fats together 1st:turn insects used for food into powder-to avoid making people feel 4 and 4 when eating 2nd:use the powder to make other foods

【分析】本文讲述了一个叫贾斯汀的男孩打算买一台电脑，但他也想和朋友们去溜冰。他不能两者兼得，因为他没有足够的钱。贾斯汀该怎么办？作者对于在我们的生活中经常会遇到“鱼与熊掌不可兼得”的情况，给出了建议。作者认为在你做出选择之前，你必须认真考虑三个问题：1.哪个更重要？2.哪个决定更需要我注意？3.哪个选择更能让我满意？这样你就容易决定先做什么了。
46．句意：他正在考虑在寒假怎么花费他的钱。此句是“疑问词＋动词不定式”结构，做宾语，故填to spend。
47．句意：他已经攒了大约三百美元。根据“already”可知使用现在完成时，其结构是have/has done sth.，此主语是He第三人称单数可知使用助动词has，save的过去分词是saved；故填has saved。
48．句意：他打算用他的钱买一台电脑，但他也想和朋友们去溜冰。由空格后computer是可数名词单数，可知填不定冠词，表示泛指，意思是“一台电脑”，computer是辅音音素开头，故填a。
49．句意：他不能两者兼得，因为他没有足够的钱。根据句意可知，后句是前句的原因，故填because/as。
50．句意：你想在星期六看音乐会，但又是你母亲的生日，你不想让她失望。根据空格后“Saturday”可知空格处填“on”，在星期几或具体的某一天前使用介词on，故填on。
51．句意：你想在星期六看音乐会，但又是你母亲的生日，你不想让她失望。短语let sb. down让某人失望，空格处作宾语，可知使用she的宾格形式her，故填her。
52．句意：在这种情况下，你没有足够的时间去两个地方。根据空格前“both”可知应用名词复数形式；place的复数是places，故填places。
53．句意：你必须考虑先做哪件事（什么）。根据上文“You want to see a concert ... but it is also your mother's birthday and you do not want to let her down. In this case, ...”可知去听音乐会和给母亲买生日礼物，不知道先做哪件事（什么），空格处作宾语从句的主语，可知填特殊疑问代词；故填which/what。
54．句意：你必须认真考虑下列问题。空格处修饰动词“consider”可知应填副词，serious认真的，严肃的，形容词，其副词形式seriously；故填seriously。
55．句意：在你回答了这些问题之后，你可能更容易决定做什么。much修饰比较级，结合语境“After you've answered these questions”可知空格处使用比较级，easy容易的，其比较级是easier，故填easier。
56．experiences
【详解】句意：你能告诉我你在英国的一些经历吗？experiences“经历”，是可数名词，根据“some of”可知名词用复数，故填experiences。
57．spare##free
【详解】句意：你在空闲时间经常去购物吗？spare/free“空余的，空闲的”，形容词作定语，修饰名词“time”。故填spare/free。
58．laugh
【详解】句意：嘲笑他人是不礼貌的。根据“It’s not polite to ... (嘲笑) at others.”可知，本题句型为“It’s + 形容词 + to do sth.”的否定式，表达“做某事是不……的”，其中to do sth是真正的主语，根据汉语提示可知，空处应用动词laugh原形，构成短语laugh at“嘲笑”。故填laugh。
59．gentlemen
【详解】句意：早上好，女士们，先生们。根据“ladies and ...”可知，and表示并列，故此处要用名词复数；gentleman“绅士”，名词，其复数为gentlemen。故填gentlemen。
60．spoon
【详解】句意：打扰了，你能递给我一把勺子吗？spoon“勺子”，可数名词。不定冠词a后跟单数名词。故填spoon。
61． didn’t until
【详解】句意：大卫的爸爸昨晚回家后就上床睡觉了。结合句意是说他的爸爸直到回家才上床睡觉，表示“直到……才”，用not…until，这里是说过去的事情用一般过去式，go 是实意动词，借助于助动词didn’t构成否定句，故填didn’t；until。
62． been on
【详解】句意：电影几分钟前开始了。根据题干可知，空处应用began的同义词，结合“for a few minutes”可知，应用延续性动词be on，has后跟过去分词构成现在完成时结构。故填been；on。
63． so that
【详解】句意：他早起是为了准时上学。in order to表示目的，意思是“为了……”，分析句子可知，下面一句空后面是简单句结构，所以同义句转换可以转换成so that，引导目的状语从句，表示“为了……”。故填so；that。
64． What’s population
【详解】句意：你所在城市有多少人？即提问该城市的人口。提问人口还可用固定句型“What’s the population of…”。故填What’s；population。
65． if##whether bought
【详解】句意：A：鲍勃买了辆新车吗？她想知道。B：她想知道鲍勃是否买了一辆新车。由题干可知，此处是要改为宾语从句；原从句为一般疑问句，宾语从句引导词用if/whether；从句时态和主句的时态保持一致，由“wondered”可知，从句也要用过去时态，buy的过去式为bought。故填if/whether；bought。
66．例文
Unforgettable Memories
How time flies! I’m going to finish my junior middle school soon. Lots of memories left in my mind. Teachers, classmates, hard work and above all friendship stay in my mind. Looking back, I have gone through either the joy of success or the pains of failure. Teachers are friendly to us in life and always strict with us in study. Classmates and friends help me so much.
With their help I’ve made great progress. But I’m a careless boy. And I always make mistakes which can be avoided.
Senior high school is a new beginning and it gives me a chance to overcome my shortcomings. As it is said, “It is not our abilities that show what we truly are, but our choice.” The two-month holiday will also provide me the freedom to think over and make up my mind to do it better in the future. And I believe I can do it.
