What is the use of the RemoveDEBRIS satellite？______A. Demonstrating space technology．B. Imitating a developing technique．C. Collecting wastes existing in space．D. Symbolizing great progress in space．13. How does the RemoveDEBRlS satellite work？______A. By throwing a net to take the junk from orbit．B. By fastening it to the main satellite tightly．C. By dragging satellites up to 10 meters long．D. By targeting large pieces of junk carefully．14. What does the underlined word "sponsor" in the last paragraph probably mean？______A. Accomplish．B. Support．C. Oppose．D. Provide．15. What's the best title for the text？______A. The RemoveDEBRIS Project Is PerfectB. How RemoveDEBRIS Is Invented in the LabC.

Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. 1 got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5.What is special about the garden?A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B.The grass grew faster than common grass.C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D.Underground water was used for the plants.6.What does the underlined word“that" refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7.How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CHeads up! Across the country, sports injuries are a safety concern for young athletes. Now, the American Medical Association (AMA) has a new set of guidelines aimed at protecting players from the danger of concussions - serious injuries caused by a blow to the head.“ By raising awareness of the serious risks associated with concussions and ensuring that the appropriate guidelines are in place, we can reduce the number of young athletes who may return to the game too soon, which can. put their health at further risk," said AMA BoardMember Jack Resneck Jr, M.D., in a statement.The policy recommends that young athletes who may have a concussion be taken off the field as soon as possible. Then, they are only to return to their sport with a doctor's written approval. The policy also sets age-specific rules for health care professionals and athletic organizations in evaluating and caring for concussions.According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a concussion is a type of traumatic (创伤) brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This type of movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist inside the skull ( 颅骨). It can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain.The CDC says that between 1.6 million and 3.8 million traumatic brain injuries caused by sports and recreation-related activities occur in the U.S. every year. A study from the Center for Injury Research and Policy showed that as many as 40% of high school athletes return to playing before they should. The AMA'S new guidelines should help to bring those numbers down.8.Why does the AMA set the new guidelines?A.To raise safety standards of sports.B.To protect athletes from concussions.C.To set rules for health care evaluation.D.To help players return to the game quickly.9.What should young athletes who may have a concussion do?A. Avoid using the head.B. Leave the field forever.C. Get treatment in time.D. Switch to another sport.10.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. What a concussion is.B. What causes damage to brain cells.C. How the CDC works.D. How a concussion can be prevented.11.Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Rules for Safer PlayB. Sports Injuries in the USC. Advice to AthletesD. New Policies for DoctorsDOrganic food is very popular. It is also expensive. Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food, but new parents and pet owners are willing to pay up to 200% more for organic food. However, there are people who think it is a waste of money.There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food. Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals, such as pesticides ( 杀虫剂). In many countries organic foods have special labels. These guarantee that the products are natural.Some people think organic means locally grown. Originally this was true. Over time organic farming became more difficult. The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply. Small companies had to sell out to large companies. There weren't enough organic ingredients (原料), such as grain and cattle. This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business. Today, many large companies have an organic line of products.Is organic food more nutritious? This is part of the debate. Many farmers and consumersbelieve it is. They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer. Many health professionals disagree. Few studies prove that organic foods prevent health problems. Health specialists worry more about bacteria ( 病毒), such as E.coli and salmonella. These can get into contact with organic and non- organic food. Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully. Handling meat carefully is important too.Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better. Is tastier food worth the extra money? This is a matter of opinion. Whether it is healthier or not may require more research. However, organic consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.12.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers?A. Price.B. Safety.C. Freshness.D. Variety.13.What is the doctors' suggestion?A. Grow your own food.B. Reduce the use of pesticides.C. Make sure the food is clean.D. Buy large companies' products.14.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food?A. It tastes better.B. It is easier to grow.C. It contains more fat.D. It is more nutritious.15.Where does this text probably come from?A. A recipe book.B. A chemistry paper.C. A medical report.D. A health magazine.第二节(共5 小题:每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分)由水浒教育老师整理提供！阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

But the concept itself isn 't scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “ greenhouse gases ”g oes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth 's temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier 's ideas spreto be called “the greenhouse effect ”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “ might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings While Arrhenius ' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to findstrong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long -term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect —still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more carefulof what he wished for.4.What does the underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect.C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.5.When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?A. In 1824.B. In 1903.C. In 1950.D. 200 years ago.6.W hat 's the author 's attitude towards Arrhenius wish?A. Optimistic.B. Negative.C. Neutral.D. Ambiguous.knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci 'ms ost seems tolook back at observers, following them with heryes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledgeA new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that degrees off to the observer's right —well outside of the range that people normally believe when theythink someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person 凝视）in 's gaz a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect ” . absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as theangle of the person 's gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial -intelligence avatars （ 虚拟头像 ） when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa ” and realized she wasn 't looking at him. To make sure it wasn 't just him, the researchers asked 24 peop to view images of the “Mona Lisa ” on a computer screen.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn 't sure. It 's possibleh,e said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect ”jus t thought it was a cool name.8. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting“Mona Lisa ”?A. She attracts the viewers to look back.B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.9.

Explorations on climateIt 'cso mmon mous painting rns outwrong.C.D.10 . Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?A.To confirm Horstmann ' s belief.B.To create artificial -intelligence avatars.C.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa ' s gaze.D.To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.11.What can we learn from the text?A.Horstmann thinks it ' s cool to coin the term “ Mona Lisa effect ”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers ' judgment.DSparrow is a fast -food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast - food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast -food chains wereunwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain 'osw ner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy 's restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers 'sp ending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast -food industry. The TVads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover （营业额） .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast -food chains in the regions where it operated.12.Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A.The number of its customers was declining.B.Its customers found the food unhealthy.C.It was in need of financial support.D.Most of its restaurants were closed.13.For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?A. To build a good relationship with the public.B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.C.To learn about customers ' spending power.D.To meet the challenge from Marcy 's restaurants.14.What do know about the TV ads of Sparrow?A.
