Willow Wilson Wilson read her first superhero comic at the age of 9. To her, comics are a fine reading experience. From a creator’s standpoint, Wilson thinks writing comics is challenging, different from writing essays. She has to make her story very concentrated. It’s troublesome but wonderful.

In the coming match, Serena Williams is looking like she could become the fourth.‎ The 36-year-old American woman had once defeated Evgeniya Rodina of Russia in a tennis tournament, who also is a mother. After her win against Rodina, Williams said, “I knew we were both moms, and I’m not sure how often such competition happens, if ever. So it’s really cool. We can be a mom, we can still play tennis and we can still be great.”‎ In fact, Williams has won seven Wimbledon singles titles and 23 Grand Slam singles titles overall. But a win here will be her first title since becoming a mother. She gave birth to her daughter, Alexis Olympia, in September.‎ Williams returned to Grand Slam competition earlier this year at the French Open, but she withdrew because of an injury. Coming into Wimbledon, she was not ranked among the top 150 female players because she missed more than a full season of competition. However, the All England Club at Wimbledon seeded her 25th, choosing to look at her past successes instead of her recent lack of competitions. Williams hopes other women who return to professional tennis after having a child receive the same treatment.‎ Motherhood is an important part of who Williams is. She speaks openly about her health problems during childbirth, the joy of bringing her daughter with her to competitions and the difficulty of dividing her time between family and sport.‎ Over the weekend, she wrote on Twitter that she missed seeing her 10-month-old daughter walk for the first time. “She took her first steps. I was training and missed it. I felt so sorry and I cried.”‎ The discussion it started spread. People around the world answered her with supportive messages to admire the great mother.‎ 22. What is Williams’ attitude towards Evgeniya Rodina?‎ A. Grateful. B. Critical. C. Doubtful. D. Respectful.‎ 23. What is special about Williams in the coming match?‎ A. She will become a mother. B. She will defeat another competitor.‎ C. She may win the championship title as a mother.‎ D. She may know the result of it in advance.‎ 24. What do we know about the All England Club at Wimbledon?‎ A. It gave Williams a low rank. B. It forbade Williams to compete.‎ C. It showed great sympathy to Williams. D. It valued Williams’ past accomplishments.‎ 21. What made Williams feel regretful?‎ A. The failure of seeing her daughter’s first walk. B. Her health problems caused by childbirth.‎ C. Missing helping her daughter learn to talk. D. Having no time to stay with her teammates.‎ C Why did the little boy throw butter out the window? He wanted to see the butterfly! OK, that’s an old joke you’ve probably heard many times. But who doesn’t like to see butterflies? Butterflies always fascinate children because of the miraculous transformation they go through during their life cycle. It’s simply incredible that those unusual caterpillars(毛虫) can change into beautiful butterflies. ‎ One particular butterfly species — the Monarch Butterfly — travels great distances every year during its annual migration. Summer in North America is usually nice and warm, but Monarch Butterflies can’t survive the cold winters of most parts of the United States. Each year around October (or earlier if it turns cold earlier)，Monarch Butterflies migrate south and west to find warmer weather. Monarch Butterflies from the Eastern United States travel to Mexico, while butterflies that live in the west of the Rocky Mountains head to California.‎ Amazingly, Monarch Butterflies travel to the same destinations every year. For some Monarch Butterflies, the journey can be as long as 2, 000 miles and take up to two months to complete. The story doesn’t end there, though. Because the life span of Monarch Butterflies is fairly short (6〜8 weeks), it’s actually subsequent generations of Monarch Butterflies that make the same trips each year.‎ Most insects do not migrate, because their life spans are not long enough. Only Monarch Butterflies born in September and October survive long enough to migrate. The butterflies that travel to Mexico and California have children — and sometimes grandchildren — that then make the return trip in the spring.‎ Monarch Butterflies have a 24-hour internal clock — called a circadian clock — that is part of their antennae(触角). This part of the system tells the butterflies what time of day it is. Depending upon the time of day, the butterflies can then tell approximately where the sun should be. The butterflies then use special photoreceptors (光感受器) inside their eyes to follow the angle of the sun.‎ 22. Why do Monarch Butterflies move to California?‎ A. It is very hot in the west. B. They enjoy flying here and there.‎ C. It is warm in North America. D. The weather is fairly mild there.‎ ‎29. What do we know about Monarch Butterflies?‎ A. They will probably die in the south. ‎ B. They will come back to the north the next month.‎ C. They fly to the south and back in the same year.‎ D. It usually takes them half a year to fly to the south.‎ ‎30. Monarch Butterflies show their special ability by ______.‎ A. finding food to live on B. protecting themselves C. telling the time exactly D. seeing something clearly at night 31. The writer writes this passage in order to tell us _______.‎ A. the species of Monarch Butterflies B. the Monarch Butterflies’ migration C. the beauty of the Monarch Butterflies ‎ D. the differences between butterflies and other insects D With solar and wind electricity prices dropping, the hunt is on for cheap batteries to store all this power for use around the clock. Now, researchers have made an advance with a flow battery, the type of battery being developed to absorb enough extra wind and solar power to fuel whole cities. They report the discovery of a potentially cheap, organic molecule (分子) that can power a flow battery for years instead of days. Flow batteries today can store and discharge large amounts of electricity longer and more safely, cheaply than traditional ones.‎ However, the problem is that the present flow batteries still rely on relatively expensive electrolytes (电解质). Chemists have been looking to organic chemicals called quinones (苯醌) as an alternative. Organic-based flow batteries can be 1/3 the cost of those traditional batteries, but they wear out after repeated charging cycles in an industry that expects them to last for a decade or more. ‎ ‎“The lifetime of organic flow batteries is the main reason why they are struggling to be commercialized,” says Susan Odom, a chemist at the University of Kentucky in Lexington. So, Harvard University materials scientist Michael Aziz and his colleagues set out to improve the lifetimes of quinones.‎ He and his colleagues report the creation of a new quinone called DBEAQ. Previous quinone-based flow batteries degraded by similar amounts every day. If the new quinone can be produced at a large scale as cheaply as other quinones — and that’s currently unknown — its performance could already be good enough for commercial use, Aziz says.‎ ‎“They did a very good job in designing the quinone molecules,” says Tianbiao Liu, a chemist in Utah State University in Logan. However, he notes, the flow batteries, like others, use two different electrolytes to operate. And the second electrolyte still has degradation problem that still needs to be solved. “That’s still a challenge for the field to overcome,” he says.‎ ‎32. What advantage does the flow battery have compared to the traditional one?‎ A. It is cheaper and more long-lasting. B. It is more practical and changeable.‎ C. It functions more stably and safely. D. It is more solid and flexible.‎ 33. What problem are the scientists trying to solve about the present flow battery?‎ A. It recharges slowly. B. It stores little electricity.‎ C. It lacks the government support. D. It depends on expensive electrolytes.‎ ‎34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A. The usage of the new quinone. B. The prospect of the new quinone.‎ C. The structure of the flow battery. D. The mass production of the flow battery.‎ ‎35. What can be inferred about the flow battery from the last paragraph?‎ A. Tianbiao Liu is worried about its market effect.‎ B. It is a perfect product without drawbacks. ‎ C. Further research into it is challenging.‎ D. Tianbiao Liu has no confidence in designing it.‎ 第二节 (共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。‎ Bicycle touring is an adventurous touring in which the rider travels long distances on a bicycle for pleasure and testing staying power. A reasonably fit rider can cover a distance of thirty to eighty miles a day. Bicycle touring enables a person to become fitter and more active. The popularity of bicycle touring has been increasing.‎ ‎ 36 . While some bicycle trips are organized and supported by commercial companies, others are self-planned and organized. The self-planned and organized trips may be cheaper and allow you to enjoy the trip at your own pace.‎ Expedition touring It is first known as fully-loaded touring, because the rider carries along food items, cooking equipment, tools and camping equipment. However, some riders may carry only the minimum load, which includes food and lightweight tent. Expedition tours involve cyclists travelling through rural and remote areas. 37 — the cyclists carry food, clothes and camping equipment along with them.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ The touring is also known as credit card touring. The cyclists carry minimum tools and equipment, which means their loads are light. But they carry credit cards and a large amount of money. They eat at restaurants and cafes and stay in hotels, hostels or motels at night.‎ Supporting touring Sometimes cyclists are usually followed by a motor vehicle. 39 . These tours are organized by groups of cyclists or cycle touring companies. These companies may also offer meals, route planning and bicycles on rent.‎ Day touring ‎ 40 . An expert cyclist, however, may prefer long trips. These trips are often undertaken by cyclists in groups only in spare time. Such events are often organized to raise money for charity ‎ purposes.‎ A. Short touring B. Lightweight touring C. It is usually self-supported ‎ D. Bicycle touring can be of different types E. The motor vehicle carries the required equipment F. Riders often enjoy food on the way to the destination G. This kind of touring is recommended for part-time cyclists 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节, 满分55)‎ 第一节 ‎ (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40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。‎ ‎ It is easy to do a good deed.

When I asked if he was OK, he 51 answered straight away that he was having an anxiety attack and had taken some 52 for it. He was walking to calm down himself because of the reaction.‎ I could realize the 53 of walking to calm down and shared the importance with him. I told him that I was 54 for his walking in the streets when it was 55 . He told me that he had a flashlight and would 56 it on to help. After five minutes of 57 , he headed home as his father pulled up.‎ I went home 58 about our communication, and still worried about his 59 while he would be walking at night afterwards.

Opinions vary from person to person.‎ ‎36% of the students are for the idea. For one thing, it allows teachers to see their progress and make their class more enjoyable. For another, it helps teachers know how their students feel about their styles and develop a better environment for students to learn more and in a better way. ‎ On the contrary, 64% of the students hold the opposite idea. Why they are against it is that some students are not serious about it and they may give better evaluations to teachers who are not strict with them. Others may not care about the matter at all.‎ As far as I’m concerned, instead of grading teachers, students can give them feedback which tends to help teachers to improve their teaching methods and develop different styles of teaching.‎
