With over 90 extracurricular groups at ZCHS, Will Schrepferman designed “ZCHS Glubs” to help guide students. “I’ve kind of always had an interest, just repairing computers and just messing around with technical stuff,” said Schrepferman. “I really started coding two years ago and I’ve been getting into it a little more heavily.” Schrepferman said he saw an issue and used his talents to find a solution. “The app has all of the extracurriculars at our school, all of the sports and every club at the school and it has a list of all the clubs that you can look through and click on to see more information about each one,” said Schrepferman. The app also features a questionnaire where students can select their interests and answer questions to determine activities they might be interested to join. Schrepferman’s app has received special recognition. He entered his app in ‘the 2017 Congressional (国会的) App Challenge’ and won—representing Indiana’s 5th district. Rep.

Pep Guardiola, Lionel Messi,Cese Fabregas and Gerard Pique are all graduates of La Masia. Many people believe that Barcelona is the best football team in Europe because of the training programme at the school. Now, FC Barcelona has opened similar academies all around the world, including in Egypt, Japan, America and Dubai. It is difficult to join the Barcelona academy. Every year, over 1,000 students apply, but only 70 students can live and study at the school. They are aged between 11 and 18. Seventy coaches, teachers, doctors, cooks sports doctor and other staff look after the students. The academy costs about £5 million a year to run. But the students all have scholarships, so they don’t pay any money. FC Barcelona pays for everything: the students’ rooms, teachers, books and food. However, the students don’t only learn football. FC Barcelona also wants to give their students a good academic education. It is important to the club that their students can still get good jobs if they don’t become professional footballers. Students travel by bus to local schools each morning for four hours of study. The footballers return to La Masia after lunch and do football training in the afternoons. But is the students’ academic education good enough? All the football training must make the students very tired and they spend less time at school than other children. That doesn’t matter if you are one of the students who are good enough to become a professional footballer. But what happen to all the children who don’t make it onto the team? La Masia produces excellent football players, but it is important to ask what happens to all the other children who train there. 8. Which of the following has La Masia fostered? A.

D Downtown Baltimore is home to an unusual experiment that seems strange—cooling buildings with ice. It’s a service provided by Veolia Energy. Veolia doesn’t run big coal or nuclear power plants—instead, it tries to deliver “efficiency”—basically getting more out of the electricity network. Veolia does this with a concept called “district cooling,” which sends water chilled by ice at a central plant out to several nearby buildings. A nearly 10-mile circuit of cooling pipes connects the downtown buildings, including the convention center, government buildings and hotels, to a brick building with two domes(穹顶)about 30-feet high next to it. Inside the domes are tanks filled with water. A lot of tubes run through the water tank carrying chilled glycol, a fluid(液体)that freezes at a very low temperature. This process runs at night, and ice forms around the tubes. “During the day, when we are using the ice to produce cooling for customers, we run water over the outside of the ice and malt it and actually provide cool water out to the distribution system,” says John Gibson, a vice president at Veolia Energy. Why ice? The ice essentially stores the cheaper energy that’s available at night. “ It allows you to make ice at night, when electrical demand is lower and costs are lower, and then melt that ice during the day to supplement your mechanical refrigeration,” Gibson says. The customers don’t need to buy their own refrigeration units, so they save about 10 percent on cooling costs by using Veolia’s district setup. Using nighttime electricity also takes the heat off the electricity network. By using ice, Veolia doesn’t need to use as much electricity during the days. Gibson also says it’s not cheap to build all of the pipes and pumps for a district cooling system, but it saves money in the long run, especially if existing underground infrastructure (基础设施)can be used. 12. What does the underlined word“chilled” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Cooled down. B. Boiled up. C. Frozen. D. Purified. 13. Why is ice made at night? A. It is energy-saving and economical. B. It reduces the burden of refrigeration units. C. Buildings need less cooling. D. Cheaper water is available. 14. What is the text mainly about? A. Unusual findings. B. An efficient network. C. A unique cooling system. D. Velia’s mechanical refrigeration. 15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A brochure. 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，,满分 12.5 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Superfoods are things you eat that do more than satisfy your hunger because they help your body work better and be better.

She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon (缎带) imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.” Afterwards the teacher decided to do a class project to see what kind of influence recognition would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgment ceremony. Then they were to follow up on the results, see who honored whom and report back to the class in about a week. One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. The boy gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and told him what it was all about. Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a conceited(傲慢的) fellow. He seated his boss down and he told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.” The junior manager took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss’s jacket above his heart. As he gave him the last extra ribbon, he said, “Would you do me a favor? Would you take this extra ribbon and pass it on by honoring somebody else? The young boy who first gave me the ribbons is doing project in school and we want to keep this recognition ceremony going and find out how it affects people.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ “My days are really busy and I don’t pay a lot of attention to you,” continued the father. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
