He was the first Aboriginal (土著的) Australian to write published books. He also worked hard to make life better for Aboriginal people. David Unaipon was born in South Australia, in 1872. As a young man, he loved to read and was interested in science and music. He thought a lot about new ways to fix engineering problems. Between the years 1909 and 1944, Unaipon made nine important inventions. He also made drawings for a helicopter design. He got the idea from the Australian boomerang (回飞镖) and the way it moved through the air. This happened in 1914, before we had helicopters. Unaipon lived most of his life in Adelaide and worked for the Aborigines’ Friends’ Association. He worked and travelled around southeastern Australia for fifty years. Sometimes, while travelling from town to town, he was told he couldn’t stay in a hotel because he was black, so he understood the problems of racism (种族主义). In 1925, Unaipon became the first Aboriginal writer to be published. His first published writing was an article in Sydney’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. The article had the title:“Aboriginals: Their Traditions and Customs”. He wrote many other articles for newspapers and magazines, getting publicity about the rights of Aboriginal people. He also wrote about the need for white and black people to work together and the need for equal rights for both black and white Australians. He was well educated in both cultures, and in 1929 he helped with a government survey of Aboriginal health and interests. David Unaipon died in 1967 at the age of 95, in the same year that Aboriginal people were first counted as part of Australia’s population. In 1995, David Unaipon’s picture was put on the Australian fifty-dollar note, with a drawing of one of his inventions. 24. Which of the following can describe David Unaipon when he was young? A. He was calm. B. He was brave. C. He was patient. D. He was creative. 25. What can we learn about David Unaipon’s helicopter design? A. It was the model for modern helicopters. B. It was a copy of another helicopter. C. It was based on a local tool. D. It was done in his 30s. 26. What do we know about David Unaipon as a writer? A. He was the first Aboriginal writer. B. He was concerned about racial inequality. C. He finished most of his writings while travelling. D. He had his writings published mainly in newspapers. 27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. David Unaipon died an unexpected death. B. David Unaipon was proud of his inventions. C. David Unaipon’s contributions were recognised. D. David Unaipon’s drawing abilities were appreciated. C If you could design your own school and study whatever you wanted, what would you choose to learn? This isn’t an unlikely question for students at Monument Mountain Regional High School, who are taking part in an activity called the Independent Project. The program is a special school within the Massachusetts public high school that’s completely run by students - no teachers, parents, or adults are allowed - and they’re in charge of deciding their whole curriculum (课程). These teens’ homework and what they study in the classroom are all totally up to them. Charles Tsai, a journalist, made a 15-minute film about the project that shows the wide variety of activities different students join. Students aren’t taking this lightly - instead of reacting irresponsibly (不负责任地) to the freedom to design their own studies, they’re dealing with their own interests by writing poetry (诗歌) collections, learning instruments and taking flight lessons. The program is this: On Mondays students come up with questions in relation to one of their school subjects, then they spend the rest of the week researching and coming up with possible conclusions to these questions. On Fridays, they present this information to their classmates. “I think the more choices we have in our school, the more students we will help develop into the kind of citizens that we need,”Principal (校长) Marianne Young explains in the film. In the video, teens express their satisfaction with the program because it holds different kinds of learners, even those who don’t always succeed in a traditional study situation. “I have difficulty in reading and writing. School has always been a big problem for me,” one student named Sergio explains in the video. “If it were not for this program, I don’t know if I’d be graduating - I don’t know where I’d be right now. I think this has really been my savior (救星) and got me through the last two years of high school.” 28. What is the Independent Project about? A. Various activities for students. B. Student-centered curricula. C. A self-designed school. D. Teacher-free classes. 29. How does the program work? A. Teachers work out a curriculum for students. B. Students research topics they put forward. C. Teachers work together with students. D. Students serve as teachers in turn. 30. What’s Marianne Young’s attitude towards the project? A. Curious. B. Doubtful. C. Uncertain. D. Optimistic. 31. What do we know about Sergio? A. He finds it hard to graduate. B. He has bitter memories of high school. C. He feels grateful to the Independent Project. D. He performs badly in the Independent Project. D The color of food might affect just how much you want to eat them,but what about the birds in your neighborhood?Would they care what color their food is?Try this out for a science fair project,or just to learn something new while making your local birds happy. Begin this experiment with the question“What color of birdseed(鸟食),if any,will birds like the most?”, and then make a hypothesis (假设) based on your question. An example might be“Birds will eat more green birdseed than other colors of birdseed.” You should get several bird feeders. Purchase birdseed that is very light in color. To color the birdseed, pour it into a bowl and then add food coloring that you can purchase from the store. Mix them up well with a spoon and continue to add coloring until all the seed is colored. You should sample at least a few colors and have one feeder with seed that has not been colored—this is called the control and it will give you something to compare your results to. Now just hang them up outside in the same location,and wait for your feathered friends to show up. This works best in an area where birds are used to feeding from a feeder—it can take birds over a week to find new feeders. Observe your bird feeders whenever possible,and keep track of how much seed is in each bird feeder each day. A ruler is helpful for this. You might also want to take pictures of the feeders and keep track of what kind of birds visit each feeder. Over time,you should be able to see if one color of seed gets eaten more than others. Once your experiment is done,you will be able to go back to your hypothesis and see if it is correct. Remember, it’s not bad if your hypothesis was wrong. The main thing is that you’ve learned something from your experiment,and hopefully you had some fun doing it. 32. What’s the purpose of this experiment? A. To see what color birds like most. B. To make local birds happy. C. To see if the color of food affects birds. D. To find how local birds feed themselves. 33. What’s the second step for this experiment? A. Observing bird feeders. B. Raising a question. C. Collecting all the data. D. Making a hypothesis. 34. The underlined words“feathered friends”in Paragraph 3 refer to . A. feeders B. birds C. neighbors D. locals 35. What is the most important about the bird feeders? A. They are filled with some water. B. They are placed in secret places. C. They are painted in different colors. D. They are all the same size and type. 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 are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives. 36 The truth is that you will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life, whether it is in your personal life or career. Most of us get really afraid and run away from problems because we don’t want to accept reality. Running away from your problems is the worst thing you can do to deal with the challenges you are faced with. Here are some tips for you on learning how to deal with everyday challenges. Please bear in mind that you shouldn’t overact when coming across challenges. Overacting to a problem will cause you to make bad decisions. 37 Next time you are faced with a challenge, stay calm so you can make smarter decisions. 38 If you cannot accept reality, you will feel very frustrated with your life.Once you can accept reality, you will be able to be calmer and think more clearly about how to get a step closer towards your goals every day. Many people make a habit of blaming others for all their problems. They fail to take full responsibility for the decisions they have made in life. The more you blame others for the challenges you are faced with, the more you will make people dislike you and not want to be around you. 39 Don’t compare your lifestyle with others. Of course, it is really difficult not to compare ourselves with other people. However, the more often we do that, the more frustrated we will feel. 40 The key thing to remember is that you create your own story and success in life. A. Try to look at change as a positive challenge, not as a threat. B. Accept the reality of the present moment. C. Challenges may come to you from time to time. D. There will always be a person that may have accomplished more than you. E. When we are not in control of our emotions, we will make decisions that we will regret later. F.However,most people have a hard time accepting and dealing with these challenges that arise. G. As a result, the first thing you should do when faced with a personal challenge is not point fingers at others. 第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I should know.

M: I’d like to have my money back, please. W: When did you buy the sweater? We don’t have this style at present. M: It was last Thursday, on my daughter’s birthday. W: I see. You bought the sweater on sale. According to our policy, we can only return the sale price. M: That’s fine. It cost 20 dollars, and I remember the full price was 45. That was really a bargain! W: You’re right. I’ll need you to fill out a return form. M: Sure. No problem. W: Just fill out your name and telephone number; and the reason for the return. Please wait here for a moment while I get you the money. 请听第9段材料,回答第13至16题。 Text 9 W: Phil, you said you’re a teacher. Did you study education in college? M: No. I studied construction! Actually, I worked as a designer when I was younger. That was a really great job, but I kind of came into teaching just to try something different. W: Do you like electronic products? M: Yeah, I do. My favorite is my computer. I think everyone should have a computer now because it’s so useful. I can watch movies, download music from the Internet, and most important, I can write reports on my students on my computer. It’s just amazing what you can do today. W: Any other products you especially like? An MP4 player or an iPad? M: No. I suppose I would have to say my digital camera. I’m absolutely useless at taking photographs. I always miss the main part of the picture. However, with a digital camera, I can keep taking photos again and again until I know I’ve got the one I actually want. The digital camera is perfect for me - I can choose only the photos I want. W: Yeah, I agree. I use cameras a lot for my website. I couldn’t make it without them. 请听第10段材料,回答第17至20题。 Text 10 Last spring, I visited Mexico City to see the ancient art in the museums there. I was surprised at how well I managed to get around, even though I don’t speak a word of Spanish. You just have to be able to make the right decisions in difficult situations. The manager of my hotel gave me a map of the city and told me that the best way to get to the museum was by subway. I didn’t know where the nearest subway was, but I was sure I would find it if I walked a little. After an hour, I was still walking. I was completely lost. Just then, a policeman came over and showed me the nearest station. I looked at the subway map on the wall and didn’t know which line to take. In fact, I wasn’t sure which station I was in. Most people would give up in that situation, but not me. After I thought about it, I knew exactly what to do. I went upstairs and took a taxi.查看更多
