Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.‎ On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn ‎ shortly before the city’s bridge closed.‎ When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily (临时) attend a school in Brooklyn.‎ In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.‎ ‎“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”‎ Natalie’s choice was to help.‎ She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.‎ In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a newkeyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.‎ Today, the scars of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”‎ ‎24. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ______.‎ A. some friends had lost their lives ‎ B. her neighborhood was destroyed C. her school had moved to Brooklyn ‎ D. the elderly were free from suffering ‎25. According to paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?‎ A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild ‎ B. The people trapped in high-rise building C. The volunteers donating money to survivors ‎ D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people ‎26. How did Natalie help the survivors?‎ A. She gave her toys to the kids. ‎ B. She took care of younger children.‎ C. She called on the White House to help. ‎ D. She built an information sharing platform.‎ ‎27. What does the story intend to tell us?‎ A. East or West, home is best. ‎ B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C. Little people can make a big difference. ‎ D. Technology is power.‎ C If you ask most people what water tastes like, they’ll probably tell you that water has no taste and they may give you a funny look. But if you were a fruit fly, asking another fruit fly, that question might have a different answer.‎ To a fruit fly, water has a taste. Scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water because this information may help in learning how other animals — or even individual cells — manage to use water in the right way. Water is important to life, but too much or too little can be deadly to a living creature. So by understanding how the fruit fly tastes water, researchers may learn more about other living things.‎ According to the new study, a protein (蛋白质) called PPK28 makes it possible for a fly to taste water. Proteins build cells and tissues, fight disease and carry messages between cells. It’s not surprising that a protein is responsible for the fruit fly’s ability to taste water.‎ The PPK28 protein is part of a larger family of similar proteins. One of these related proteins is used by mammals (including humans) to taste salt. Scientists have not found a protein that enables humans to “taste” water.‎ In the experiment, Cameron and his team compared normal fruit flies with fruit flies whose taste cells had been disabled. The fruit flies were given a special chemical that would glow (发光) when the fly used the PPK28 protein. Then the scientists led the flies to water. When the normal flies tasted the water, the PPK28 protein lit up — showing that it was in use.‎ The fruit fly is so interesting that some scientists are creating a complete map of the fruit fly brain. This map will show all of a fly’s neurons and help scientists understand how the neurons work together.‎ 28. How do most people feel when asked the taste of water?‎ A. Amused. ‎ B. Frightened. ‎ C. Disappointed. ‎ D. Shocked.‎ ‎29. Why do scientists want to know how the fruit fly knows water?‎ A. To decrease the number of the fruit fly. ‎ B. To know more about other creatures.‎ C. To manage to use water correctly. ‎ D. To describe the taste of water.‎ ‎30. What do we know about the PPK28 protein?‎ A. It can make humans taste salt. ‎ B. The fruit fly can’t live without it.‎ C. It enables the fruit fly to taste water. ‎ D. The fruit fly uses it to avoid illnesses.‎ ‎31. What will the scientists continue to work at?‎ A. Making the PPK28 protein. ‎ B. Telling more information about cells.‎ C. Creating maps of human brains. ‎ D. Studying the fruit fly’s neuron systems. ‎ D A while back I caught a news report on something called ―couch surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for one or two nights? Give me a break.‎ However, I was intrigued. I decided to find it out. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore.‎ ‎ I would couch surf at every stop there.‎ If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me a warm welcome and walking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.‎ If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What encouraged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who might enrich their own lives.‎ Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.‎ ‎32. Which of the following best explains the underlined word in the second paragraph?‎ A. relaxed. B. bored. C. interested. D. pleased.‎ ‎33. What can we know about Ari?‎ A. He was reserved like most Finns. ‎ B. He talked less but he was friendly.‎ C. He treated the author as a friend. ‎ D. He saw off the author at the train station.‎ ‎34. Why did people offer couch surfing to strangers?‎ A. To take an adventure with strangers. ‎ B. To exchange houses for a short time.‎ C. To learn more about others’ family lives. ‎ D. To enrich their own lives by helping others.‎ ‎35. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Travel on Trust and Couches ‎ B. A Free Travel in Finland C. Experiences in Strangers’ Houses ‎ D. A Plan for Couch Surfing 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。‎ Happiness has become a big deal in the past ten years. Hundreds of books, lectures and even the media tell us that happiness is within our reach. All we have to do is follow some simple steps, like meditation, living in the moment and doing yoga. 36 In fact, feeling deeply sad is a normal part of the healing (治愈) process. It’s said that if you are going through a hard time, it’s important to do what you can to feel better.‎ ‎ 37 Perhaps they can work for you too. 38 But if you’re not anywhere near an ocean, lake or river, looking at images of moving water on TV can make you feel peaceful. We have to get our happiness where we can find it. If you have lost the ability to find any pleasure in your daily life or the people around you, something deeper is going on. 39 ‎ Think about the times you were at your happiest. That may sound a little strange. 40 We can’t allow natural and normal emotional low points rule our lives, but we can’t ignore them either. They must be processed, so we can move on. A. Getting close to nature can help cheer you up. ‎ B. Looking at water while in nature can be calming.‎ C. You’d better get yourself checked out by a medical doctor.‎ D. Here are some ways that have helped me and many people.‎ E. Talk with your friends and try to find your happiness from them.‎ F. But if you are going through a really difficult time, none of this may feel right.‎ G. But doing this actually sends chemicals to your brain, and it can make you feel better.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45） ‎ 第一节 （共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C 和 D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ One day last June, Clifford Luther served a burger and fries to a man passing through his restaurant, Old West Express, in Saskatchewan, Canada.
