The non-profit organization she founded, NESTAUS, has helped tens of thousands of homeless people in the United States.‎ Venkat's passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk, as her parents, active volunteers themselves, brought her along on their various projects. By fifth grade, she'd developed such enthusiasm for it that she could start her own service projects. ‎ NEST4US was born when she happened to meet a man seeking for food. "There was a homeless man and he was holding a sign that said ‘Hungry Need Food’," she remembers. "So I gave him my lunch-it was just a banana, a granola bar, and a water-and his whole face just lit up. I found out he hadn’t eaten in a week! It was so easy. it only took me 30 seconds, and it really helped him.” Then, she decided to just act.‎ She emails, calls, and talks, which is quite beyond her age, to business owners in-person to ask for donations. From there, volunteers pick up the donated food and deliver it to local shelters. As much as she has helped others, they've helped her too, she says. Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but she says running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like time management, public speaking, writing, and leadership. "What it's really given me is this perspective, of putting other people first," she says.‎ ‎24. Why was Venkat willing to help others?‎ A. Her parents influenced her. B. She could learn a lot from it.‎ C. The man she helped inspired her. D. She wanted to start her own projects.‎ ‎25. What did Venkat do for the man seeking for food?‎ A. She set up NEST4US. B. She gave him her lunch.‎ C. She called her parents for help. D. She asked business owners for donations.‎ ‎26. Which of the following can best describe Venkat?‎ A. Honest and kind. B. Helpful and careful.‎ C. Intelligent and polite. D. Competent and sympathetic.‎ ‎27. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?‎ A. The Birth of NEST4US B. Passion for Donation C. A Girl Feeding the Homeless D. Putting Other People First C As one of the most important languages in the world, Latin had humble beginnings. It originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language. Over time, Latin became more well-known as Romans gained political power. Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin. Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated, according to Britannica, "in the 20th century far less people learned Latin" leading it to be classified as a "dead" language.‎ There are around 7,000 living languages in the world, but, according to Britannica, "more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century." Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages. More often than not, a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies. For example, Marie Smith Jones, perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language, died at the age of 89 in 2008, and so did the language. Now, less and less people speak Latin, which raises public's awareness about its protection.‎ Actually, there are many other reasons as to why Latin should be protected or taught. "It is a window into a fascinating ancient civilization, and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices," says Kathleen Coleman, James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.‎ Since it isn't used in ordinary conversations, there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin. "Teaching a 'dead' language is different from teaching other languages," explains Coleman, "because there are no native speakers to show us how it sounds or answer questions about the meaning of words or explain idioms. Though it's hard, fortunately, we still can find the answers to our questions from the fragmentary evidence available in written texts."‎ ‎28. What can we learn about Latin from the Paragraph 1?‎ A. Latin was well-known since its birth.‎ B. Only educated people learned Latin in the past.‎ C. Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.‎ D. All people did not learn Latin in the 20th century.‎ ‎29. The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in the Paragraph 2 to show .‎ A. Latin is going to be a dead language B. what it really means when a language dies C. why people should be aware of protecting languages D. he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language ‎30. Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?‎ A. To learn about an ancient society. B. To respect others' opinions.‎ C. To protect a "dead" language. D. To show unfamiliar practices.‎ ‎31. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?‎ A. The learning materials. B. The learning methods.‎ C. The development of Latin. D. The difficulties in learning Latin.‎ D What happens when you cross stem cells(干细胞)from a frog heart and frog skin? Not much-that is, until you program those cells to move. In that case, you've created a xenobot, a new type of organism that's part robot, part living thing.‎ Now a team of scientists has used living cells from frog embryos(胚胎)and assembled(装配)them into entirely new life-forms. These millimeter-wide "xenobots" can move toward a specific target and heal themselves after being cut.‎ ‎"These are novel living machines," says Joshua Bongard, a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research. "They're neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It's a new living, programmable organism."‎ Xenobots borrow their name from Xenopus laevis, the name for the African clawed frog from which the researchers harvested the stem cells. They combined together well two different kinds of cells-heart and skin cells. The heart cells arc capable of expanding and shrinking, which aids the xenobot in locomotion, and the skin cells provide structure. Besides, they can't accomplish tasks without the help of computers.‎ By studying these curious organisms, researchers hope to learn more about the mysterious world of cellular communication. Plus, these kinds of robo-organisms could possibly be the key to drug delivery in the body or greener environmental cleanup techniques.‎ ‎"Most technologies are made from steel. concrete，chemicals, and plastics, which degrade(降解)over time and can produce harmful ecological and health side effects," the authors note in a research paper. "When these xenobots finally do stop working, they fall apart harmlessly."‎ ‎"Promising as these organisms are, when we start to mess around with complex systems that we ‎ don't understand, we're going to get unintended consequences." Michael Levin, a biophysicist and co-author of the study, says in a press statement.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the xenobot?‎ A. It is not easy to degrade over time. B. It can recover itself after being cut.‎ C. It will never die with a computer inside. D. It is named after a kind of American frog.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word "locomotion" in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. Appearance. B. Position. C. Application. D. Movement.‎ ‎34. According to the text xenobots can be employed to .‎ A. recycle waste in nature B. replace certain damaged organs C. deliver medicine inside patients D. improve communication technology ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. Xenobots can be put into the market soon. B. Xenobots are created totally by accident.‎ C. More research should be done on xenobots. D. It is hard for people to understand xenobots.‎ 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。‎ We all know how important it is to keep our bodies fit by keeping active and maintaining a regular exercise routine. 36 Yogic exercises, which have existed for centuries, are introduced here to help keep eye muscles sharp as well as relax the eyes.‎ Massage your eyes.
