A

Mother Teresa (August 26, 1910-September 5, 1997) was a great woman, who did a lot to improve the social condition of mankind. Due to her contribution in serving the society, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize aged 69.

She was brought up in a Catholic family. When she was only seven, she lost her father. Even as a young child, she was interested in the life of missionaries (传教士). At the age of 18, she decided that she would become a nun. She left her home and went to join the Sisters of Loreto. It was the first step that she made towards providing services for mankind.

On the 7th of October in the year 1950, Mother Teresa received Vatican permission to start the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, the mission of which would be to take care of the needy, the homeless, and people who were shunned by the society. Then it had a number of branches all over the country. The journey o f Mother Teresa’s Missionaries of Charity started with the setting up of homes for "the Dying".

In the year 1983, Mother Teresa suffered from a serious heart attack, while she was in Rome. However, she recovered. But, later in 1989, she again got an attack. Her health went worse and in the year 1991, she suffered from pneumonia. Taking her health problems into consideration, Mother Teresa decided to resign (辞职) from the post of head of the order.

A secret vote was conducted in which all the nuns voted for the stay of Mother Teresa except herself. So, she agreed to continue serving as head of the Missionaries of Charity. Day by day her health was getting worse. On September 5, 1997, exactly nine days after her 87th birthday, this great soul departed for heaven.

1．Why did Mother Teresa devote her life to the religious life?

A．Because her parents had a deep influence on her.

B．Because she wanted to provide services for others.

C．Because she thought the life of missionaries simple.

D．Because she came to know the Sisters of Loreto.

2．Which of the following words can replace the underlined word "shunned" ?

A．Cared. B．Concerned.

C．Ignored. D．Affected.

3．Why did Mother Teresa decide to resign from her post?

A．She realized she couldn’t fully serve the people in need.

B．She was only worried about her health condition.

C．She wished to lead a more comfortable life.

D．She knew a heart attack would take her life away at any time.

B

Genetic engineering, in its broadest definition, means to control a species so that a particular trait is increased in the population. A trait is how an organism (有机体) looks or

acts or what it does. Having brown eyes is a trait. Flying in circles is a trait. Climbing trees is

a trait.

The earliest forms of genetic engineering occurred on farms. People selected seeds

from plants that had more fruit production or tastier leaves than other plants of their types. Then they chose to save the seeds from the best of that group to sow the next year. So, year by year, the farmers produced better and better crops. This type of activity probably has

been going on since mankind first settled in villages and began making a life for themselves

in one location, about 12,000 years ago!

The same sort of thing would have also happened with animals. For example, people chose to eat the animals that didn’t have favorable traits and let the animals with the favorable

traits reproduce. It was thousands of years before mankind figured out how plants and animals reproduce themselves. With this knowledge, people could pollinate (授粉) plants

by hand or keep a pair of animals together in order to deliberately cause an increase in a

favorable trait.

It was only in the last 250 years that scientists began figuring out chromosomes (染色

体) and genes and the role they play in the way one generation passes its traits on to the

next. And it’s only been in the last 30 years that scientists have been able to cut out specific genes from one organism and put them in another. It is this 30- year-old technology that is described by the narrow definition of genetic engineering. Mankind has long been able to

have a deliberate impact on the world around him. He now possesses the tools to

deliberately impact himself. Some people are afraid of what might be done with that power. 4．The text is mainly developed by ______.

A．asking questions

B．examining differences

C．making comparisons

D．giving examples

5．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ______.

A．the spread of genetic engineering

B．the advantage of genetic engineering

C．the original application of genetic engineering

D．the popularity of genetic engineering

6．The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to ______.

A．specific genes B．special traits

C．chromosomes D．scientists

7．What can we learn about genetic engineering from the last paragraph?

A．It has a history of 250 years by the narrow definition of genetic engineering.

B．Scientists don’t know how to make good use of it.

C．People have a misunderstanding of it in the past 30 years.

D．It is becoming a powerful tool of mankind.

C

American high school students are terrible writers, and one education reform group

thinks it has an answer: robots. Or, more accurately, robot-readers—computers

programmed to scan students’ essays and spit out a grade.

Mark Shermis, professor of the College of Education at the University of Akron, is

helping to hold a contest, set up by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation (WFHF),

which promises $ 100,000 in prize money to programmers who write the best automated

a high school teacher and you give a writing task, you’re walkin grading software. “If you’re

home with 150 essays,” Shermis said. “You’re going to need some help.”

Automated essay grading was first proposed in the 1960s, but computers back then

were not up to the task. In the late 1990s, as technology improved, several textbooks and

testing companies jumped into the field. Today, computers are used to grade essays on

South Dakota’s student writing assessments and a handful of other exams, including the

TOEFL test of English fluency, taken by foreign students.

The Hewlett contest aims to show that computers can grade as well as English

teachers—only much more quickly and without all that depressing red ink. “Automated

diately. If students finish

essay scoring is objective,” Shermis said. “And it can be done imme

an essay at 10 pm, they will get a result at 10: 01 pm.”

Take, for instance, the Intelligent Essay Assessor, a web-based tool marketed by Pearson Education, Inc. Within seconds, it can analyze an essay for spelling, grammar, organization,

and help students to make revisions. The program scans for key words and analyzes

semantic (语义的) patterns, and Pearson claims that it can understand the meaning of text

much the same as a human reader.

8．The text is written to introduce ______.

A．education reform in America

B．robot-readers

C．Hewlett contest

D．William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

9．From Paragraph 3, we know that in the 1960s ______.

A．Computers were not easy to get

B．Automated grading software was popular

de essays automatically

C．Computers couldn’t gra

D．People refused automated essay grading

10．The Intelligent Essay Assessor can ______.

A．Rewrite essays

B．Underline the mistakes in red ink

C．Correct key words and patterns

D．Understand the meaning of text

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。

Making Short Videos

“A picture is worth a thousand words or so”, they say. Well, motion (

运动) pictures can

contain even more memories. 11 Here are some apps you can use to make your own

short videos.

https://www.360docs.net/doc/2212351322.html,

Reciting lines from movies is an effective and classic way to learn English. So what if

you could dub(配音) recordings accompanied by movie clips(剪辑) and then share them

with friends? 12 You name it. By contributing your voice, you can either mimic(模仿)

the original soundtrack or create something completely new of your own.

Shorts

13 With the help of the Shorts app, you can make pictures in your album into a slide

nd

show. Choose from any of the off-the-shelf themes---“holiday”, “travel”, “friendship” a each matched with its own theme music and slide background. But if

“party” for example—

you’re not satisfied with the combinations, feel free to do a little change by adding text to

the pictures or replacing the music with something in your own playlist.

Viva Video

Video making and editing once seemed awfully hard. 14 But this app will ease

you into the field with straight-forward functions and clear direction to help you “create your own video story”. Apart from filter, stickers and text, the coolest p

art of this app is that

you can write the narratives yourself and add your own voice to the video. 15 Viva

Video requires a relatively powerful phone to run smoothly.

A．But here is a little reminder.

B．This app has movies, cartoons, lectures, TV series.

C．These apps have a variety of identifications (识别).

D．That’s why short videos are becoming popular.

E. Videos and pictures aren’t only for separate purposes.

F. Newbies (网络新手) and amateurs didn’t dare to even give it a try.

G. Video making and editing is what Apple fans want to try.

书面表达【范文】

Dear Mike，

How's everything going?

As you know, World Thrift Day falls on October 31. So this time I'd like to discuss thrift with you. In recent years, the monthly expenditure of middle school students has been on the sharp rise. Many of them

spend money like water and have no concept of thrift in their minds. This phenomenon is caused by the following factors.

First of all, nowadays most of students are the only children of their families. Naturally, they get more

care and pocket money. Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children. Thirdly, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tends to

need more money.

From my point of view, middle students should learn to be thrifty. We should limit our expenditure in our daily life. The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.

How about your point about thrift?

Best wishes!

Yours faithfully
