With the help of YouTube videos, the young techie learned to code. For one entire year, she watched multiple coding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.‎ Vijay’s inspiration for developing the apps was her little sister, who was still learning to talk. Therefore, Vijay developed an educational app for children that were her sister’s age. The app is called Smartkins, which uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals that help children learn and identify. Later, Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors. Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.‎ Anvitha’s skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco, California. There, she got tips from the pros. She went to workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.‎ All that training led to an idea for a third app. This one, called GoalsHi, inspires kids to practice good habits. Users are rewarded for achieving goals, such as eating ‎ their vegetables or practicing piano. Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a sticker for a job well done.‎ Anvitha’s goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun. But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids’ hands. “The more training we get in tech at an early age,” she says, “the better chance we have of becoming creativity champions who will one day change the world.”‎ ‎24. Vijay taught herself to code because .‎ A. she couldn’t afford a developer B. her sister begged her C. she valued her savings very much D. her parents had confidence in her ‎25. Vijay’s app GoalsHi intends to help kids .‎ A. identify colors B. practice good habits ‎ C. learn different animals D. get in tech at an early age ‎26. What is the right order of the events?‎ a. Learning the latest software for app building.‎ b. Teaching herself how to code.‎ c. Developing Smartkins app.‎ d. Building iOS app.‎ A. cbad B. bacd C. cdab D. bcda ‎27. Vijay’s story indicates that .‎ A. one head cannot hold all wisdom B. passion fuels the young to achieve C. from small beginnings come great things D. all things are difficult before they are easy C Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you've completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we've ‎ accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we've got it all wrong.‎ According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s— much later than previously thought.‎ Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain （保留）them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.‎ This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive （认知的）tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.‎ Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed－how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.‎ Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.‎ ‎28. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.‎ A. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s B. the young are better at handling important things C. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing ‎29. The continuing research has found older people perform better on _____ .‎ A. number ability B. vocabulary tests C. perceptual speed D. body balance ‎30. People are happier with age because ______.‎ A. they know how to share feelings ‎ B. they learn to value the time left C. they cannot focus on negative aspects ‎ D. they do not realize the possible dangers ‎31. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. People get more forgetful with age. B. People get wiser with age.‎ C. People get happier with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.‎ D On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he's tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.‎ Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.‎ Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.‎ Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya's national parks to try to have a ‎ look at the “big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation's economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya's wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.‎ Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively (专门地) for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.‎ ‎32. How did Kasaine track lions?‎ A. By working together with tourists.‎ B. By running after them all the time.‎ C. By going to school every day.‎ D. By studying their paw prints.‎ ‎33. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Maasai people are born animal lovers.‎ B. Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.‎ C. Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.‎ D. Small animals are not included in their protection policy.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. Kenya’s economic development.‎ B. Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.‎ C. Kenya’s second-largest income source.‎ D. People’s leaving their original homes.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Wildlife protection in Kenya ‎ B. Meeting a dangerous animal C. Wilson Kasaine’s wise choice ‎ D. Learning to live with lions 第二节　七选五（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。（答题卡上若选E填涂AB；F填涂AC；G填涂AD）‎ Difficult financial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 36 There are so many ways to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.‎ ‎1. Pick up the phone Calling someone “for no reason” is an important opportunity to show them that you are thinking of them. You are taking time out of your busy day to reach out. Everyone needs someone to just listen sometimes. They may be filled with joy or sadness. 37 ‎ ‎2. Write a note ‎38 It is one thing to say it, but it can be even more meaningful to put it in writing. What if you made a commitment to write a thank-you note to someone every week?‎ ‎3. 39 ‎ You never know what someone might be going through a painful divorce, a tough college semester, or just a bad day. Opening up your home will make someone feel appreciated. In addition, it costs less than going out. The leftovers from this dinner can be packaged up for homeless people. That’s double giving!‎ ‎4. Set aside money from a daily routine to donate Giving doesn’t have to mean a life full of sacrifices. You can still buy a burger or get your nails done. 40_ Donate the money you saves: Even $ 5 can make a difference in someone’s life.‎ A. Give a gift to the stomach.‎ B. Invite someone over for dinner.‎ C. To take your awareness to a new level, move beyond money.‎ D. But instead of buying much coffee every week, you can drink less.‎ E. While some people enjoy receiving gifts, all of us appreciate a kind word.‎ F. Instead, they allow you to examine how your time and money are spent.‎ G Be there to celebrate their good news, or support them with sympathy.‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节　完形填空（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。并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ I went with some colleagues from my office for a dinner in a very popular local restaurant.
