For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. As a young child, Ann Makosinski would spend hours experimenting with her toys and other everyday objects around her to create her own inventions. Now a first-year Arts student, Makosinski is a well-known inventor and entrepreneur(创业者). She won the 2015 Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence, ___21___ recognizes innovative business solutions to social problems—the same recognition given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her own inventions, the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink, have been causing excitement internationally ___22___ their creation. At the age of 15, Makosinski created a prototype(原型)for a flashlight ___23___(power) 第 2 页 / 共 12 页 by the heat of one’s hand. This invention was the result of a ninth grade science project, but Makosinski’s goal was ___24___(offer)a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity. “I’m half-Filipino and half-Polish, and one of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school ___25___ she couldn’t afford electricity. She had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration,”Makosinski explained.“I’ve always been interested in doing science projects, so I thought, why don’t I find a way to provide her and a lot of other people with light?” The Hollow Flashlight is made from Peltier tiles(珀耳贴贴片)that produce energy when one side ___26___(heat)and the other side remains cool. The flashlight can produce a steady beam of LED light for 20 minutes. ___27___(use)only the warmth of the human hand. Her advice to other student innovators?“Start now. There ___28___ be nothing holding you back. Some students at colleges or even in high school think‘Oh, I’m a student. I just need to study.’ ___29___ may think it important to make friends and be social. The truth is, you can do a lot of other things. You can do ___30___ you want. Just go ahead.” Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. potentially B. filmed C. dropped D. commonly E. treats F. sympathy G. sensitive H. eyebrow I. domesticated J. selection K. confident Puppy Dog Eyes Are for the Benefits of Humans Dogs make puppy dog eyes for the benefit of humans and rarely use the pleasing facial expression when on their own, a new study has shown. It has long been assumed that animal facial expressions are involuntary and dependent on emotional state rather than a way to communicate. But scientists at the University’s Dog Cognition Centre at Portsmouth University have found that dogs mostly use facial expressions when humans are present, as a direct response to attention. Puppy dog eyes, in which the ___31___ is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was found to be the most ___32___ used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites ___33___ and affection in humans. Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be ___34___ that the production of facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are not just a result of dogs being excited.” “In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food ___35___ did not have the same effect.” “The findings appear to support evidence dogs are ___36___ to humans’ attention and that expressions are ___37___ active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, aged one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs’ faces were ___38___ throughout a range of exchanges, from the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body turned away from the dog. 第 3 页 / 共 12 页 They found that when a human was not watching the animal, they ___39___ facial expressions. Dr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs’ expressions have evolved as they were ___40___. “Domestic dogs have a unique history –they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs’ability to communicate with us, ”she said. Ⅲ. Reading comprehension(45 分) Section A Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being ___41___ with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but ___42___ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the ___43___ I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more ___44___ than the whistle gave me pleasure. ___45___, this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was ___46___ to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and ___47___ the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.” If I knew a miser(守财奴)who ___48___ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, ___49___ gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but ___50___ devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing ___51___ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of ___52___ who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his ___53___, and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” ___54___, the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) ___55___ value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.” 41.

(A) When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee. 74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired. Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags. “My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.” “The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee. If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen($2.8). 56. Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word“blunder”in the second paragraph? A. mistake B. show C. mixture D. brand 57. Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee? A. A woman bearing a baby. B. A student having trouble with sleep. C. A cleaner working on a day shift. D. A young lady sick of garlic. 58. Which of the following is not characteristic of garlic coffee? 第 5 页 / 共 12 页 A. It is caffeine-free. B. Garlic powder dissolves in water. C. The burnt garlic creates bitterness. D. It is an improvement on a garlic dish. 59. Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai? A. venturous and greedy B. innovative and perseverant C. hardworking and cautious D. observant and helpful (B) How an advertisement is put together When you read an advertisement there are many factors you should consider, including: l target audience l brand names l slogans l pictures and colour l special offers/coupons l emotive/persuasive vocabulary Target audience Advertisers aim particular products at different groups of people according to age, sex, social class and interests. They will often make assumptions about people and label or stereotype them. Who do you think these products would be aimed at: nappies, diamonds, mint chocolates, sports cars? What kind of products would be aimed at these people: teenagers, 25-year-old single men, 40-year- old working mums? Brand names Brand names are chosen carefully. They can suggest particular lifestyles, values or interests and are intended to appeal to the target audience. Nissan Primera: this suggests quality. Primera is similar to premium and premier. Ford Ka: the spelling of Ka suggests novelty and simplicity. It is modern and futuristic. It is also bound to stick in your mind when you are looking for a new car! Slogans A slogan has to be catchy and memorable. Slogans use a range of devices: alliteration, repetition, puns, questions, personal pronouns and humour. Have a break. Have a Kit Kat. Repetition The totally tropical taste. Alliteration Picture and colour All pictures try to make you feel something and most are biased, even photographs. They create a view of what the world is like using different tricks such as lighting and colour. Different colours have different associations that can be linked to particular products. Yellow: freshness, sunlight, lemons. This colour would be good for advertising washing up liquid. Green: countryside, natural, healthy. What would you use this colour for ? 第 6 页 / 共 12 页 What do you associate these colours with: red, black, orange, gold, blue? Special offers/coupons Advertisers often appear to offer something for nothing’: if you buy one product you will receive another one free or half price. These offers are incentive to try a new product or to encourage loyalty to an existing one. Emotive/persuasive vocabulary In advertising you will find lots of words and phrases that are intended to persuade you or appeal to your emotions. mouthwatering silky free chocolate romantic creamy luxurious like mum used to make 60. What color is suitable for dishwashing liquid? A. Green. B. Red. C. Orange. D. Yellow. 61. Which of the following slogans applies the device alliteration? A. Mosquito Bye Bye Bye.(RADAR) B. We do, we said.(HENNESSY) C. M&Ms melt in your mouth(M&Ms) D. Start ahead.(RLJOICE) 62. According to the passage, to reta.n the regular customers, advertising companies tend to ________. A. impress them with colorful pictures B. use promotional strategies C. change slogans frequently D. create eye-catching brand names (C) Dental health: Brush with confidence Children should be taught to brush their teeth regularly. But the suspicion remains among some People, dentists included, that even so, certain children are doomed to develop dental cavities. The hypothesis behind this fear is that some combinations of genes may give rise to the sorts of oral bacteria which are responsible for cavities. If true, that would be sad for the youngsters concerned. But a study just published in Cell Host and Microbe, by Andres Gomez and Karen Nelson of the J. Craig Venter Institute, in San Diego, suggests it isn’t true. The mouth is home to many species of microbes. Most are good. Some, though, are well known to secrete acidic waste products when fed sugar. This acidity weakens teeth, causing them to decay. To try to find out whether a child’s genes play any role in encouraging such acid-secreting bugs, Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson set up an experiment with twins. Their“volunteers”were 280 pairs of fraternal twins and 205 pairs of identical twins, all aged between five and 11, who had not taken antibiotics during the previous six months. The children were asked to stop brushing their teeth the evening and the morning before the crucial moment of data collection. This was when the researchers swabbed the children’s gingival sulci(the clefts between teeth and gums, in which bacteria collect)to find out what was there. The children also had their teeth scored by dentists as belonging to one of three categories: having no signs of current or previous dental cavities: having signs of current or previous cavities affecting the enamel(a tooth’s hard, outer layer); or having signs of cavities that penetrated the enamel and allected the underlying dentine as well. 第 7 页 / 共 12 页 Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson found that, though identical twins shared many groups of bacteria which were not shared by fraternal twins, none of these was a type responsible for cavities. Moreover, similarities in bacterial flora were greatest among five-to seven-year-olds, weaker among seven- to nine-year-olds and weakest among nine-to 11-year-olds. This suggests that any role genes do play in regulating the mouth’s ecology fades with time. Far from supporting the idea that some children are fated to suffer from cavities no matter how well they brush their teeth, these results make it clear that the power to control the growth of the relevant bacteria is very much within reach of children and their parents. Brushing, however, may not be the only approach. Avoiding sugary foods is obviously de rigueur. It seems likely, though, that which other foods a child eats may help shape his oral ecosystem, too. This is an area of ongoing research. But, as in the intestines(肠道), so in the mouth, scientific medicine is at last coming to grips with the fact that the mixture of microbes present is both important and capable of manipulation, to the benefit of the host. 63. What does“hypothesis”refer to in paragraph 1? A. Children’s failure to brush their teeth properly leads to tooth decay. B. Some children are programmed to develop tooth decay. C. Youngsters are suspicious of the effectiveness of tooth-brushing. D. Some genes are more likely to lead to dental cavites. 64. Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson conducted an experiment to find out _______. A. whether genes have anything to do with dental decay B. which group of twins are more likely to have decayed teeth C. what kinds of foods tend to give rise to tooth decay D. why the ecosystem of the intestines is similar to that of the mouth 65. Which of the following statements is UNTRUE according to the passage? A. Scientists are not yet sure how ecosystem of the mouth is formed. B. The role genes play in controlling ecosystem of the mouth weakens with the time. C. The children are classified into three groups according to the degrees of dental cavities. D. Identical twins are not as genetically close to each other as fraternal twins. 66. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The existence of multiple microbes benefits children’s oral ecosystem. B. What a child eats enhances the healthfulness of a child’s oral ecosystem. C. Cutting down on sugar intake is the most likely way to prevent tooth decay. D. Parents are in no position to help their children maintain healthy oral ecosystem. Section C Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need. A. Reality has begun to catch up with the imagination of the film’s writer. B. Nanotechnology is one of the most exciting fields of research in the world today. C. When this becomes possible, great changes will take place in numerous fields. D. Small as they are, large quantities of them can make a difference and work wonders. E. Nanotechnology is also responsible for tremendous advances in many other fields. F. They carry medicine with them as they travel though the body, seeking our cancer cells. 第 8 页 / 共 12 页 Nanotechnology Grows Fast Thanks to advances in technology, the science fiction of the past has become the“science fact”of today, like the 1966 sci-fi Fantastic Voyage(《神奇旅程》). In the film, a man with very important knowledge was dying. The only way to save him was by using experimental miniaturization technology. A number of scientists were shrunk to a tiny size and injected into the man’s body to locate the source of the problem and save him. ___67___ Over the past several decades, the science of nanotechnology has been developing rapidly, and, just as in the film, it involves working with objects of a very small size. Something very similar to the medial procedure seen in Fantastic Voyage is already being used to help save lives today. Tiny crystals known as“quanturn dots(量子点)”,whose diameters are one thousandth of a human hair, are injected into the body of a cancer patient. ___68___ Upon finding a tumor, these quantum dots release their medicine, and then light themselves up tso that doctors can see exactly where the cancer cells are. ___69___ We may soon find our everyday lives being affected by it. Are you tired of having to charge the batteries in your mobile devices? Soon, you don’t need to. Scientists are working on solar-cell vests that will absorb energy from the sun as you walk around and provide power for your devices. Eric Drexler, an author and scientist, believes that nanotechnology will lead to a new kind of manufacturing, one in which products are assembled atom by atom. By rearranging atoms, you can turn one kind of molecule into another. For example, a wood molecule can be transformed into a metal molecule. If this is done many times according to a design, a large object such as an ax might eventually be created, just by rearranging atoms. ___70___. Although we have already seen its first practical applications, even more dramatic advances will be made in the future. Ⅳ. Surmmary Writing(10 分) Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible. According to an official report on youth violence.“In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.”Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit? First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. It is reported that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. If the conflict occurs, students can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer. Once the student feels calmer. He or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire while soft words can put out the fire before it explodes out of control. After that, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side: and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterwards, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to 第 9 页 / 共 12 页 clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles. Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. An argument doesn’t mean trying to figure out the fault of the other person but means understanding what the real issue is. As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller.(280 words) 第二卷 Ⅴ.
