A
Astronauts go to bathroom just like everybody else. However, it can be tricky in space because gravity is so weak that people and objects appear to be weightless. It means that toilets cannot flush(冲洗) the same way that they do on Earth. So we have started a competition to get ideas from around the world to develop a new space toilet that would work aboard the International Space Station (ISS) as well as on Moon.
The competition, titled “NASA's Lunar Loo Challenge”, has a total prize of $ 35, 000 to be shared by winning teams. Anyone above 14 can apply to this challenge, and the winning design will receive a $ 20, 000 reward. The second-place design will win $10, 000, and the third-place winner will win $ 5, 000.
The competition also includes a junior category(类别) in which anyone under the age of 14 can apply with their creative space toilet ideas. Winners in this category will receive public recognition and our souvenirs.
Toilet Design Requirements
Designs should take up no more than 1.13m3 of space.
The space toilet has to be able to hold at least 1.5kg human waste.
The final requirement is that the system must be able to get rid of the waste and be cleaned in five minutes or less.
We hope this challenge will result in new ways to deal with human waste in outerspace.
21. What can a junior winner get from the competition
A. A cash reward. B. A scholarship.
C. A trip to NASA. D. A NASA souvenir.
22. Which is a design requirement for the toilet
A. It takes up less than 1.13m3 of space.
B. It has to be cleaned in 6 minutes.
C. It can hold at least 1.5kg human waste.
D. It must be able to dry up the waste.
23. What is the text
A.A news report. B. An advertisement.
C.A diary entry. D.A product description.
B
I believe that we should take pride in what we do, even if it is misunderstood by the people around us.
I have been a professional skateboarder for 24 years. For much of that time, the sport that paid my rent and gave me my greatest joy had many names, most of which were ugly: a kids' play, a waste of time, a dangerous activity.
When I was about 17, my high schoolteacher event old me in front of the entire class that I would never make a living as a skateboarder. It seemed to him that my future was bleak.
Even during those dark years, I never stopped riding my skateboard. There had been many, many times when I felt discouraged because I couldn't complete a difficult move. But I've come to realize that the only way to master something is to keep at it—despite the bloody knees, despite the unpleasant comments.
Although skateboarding has gained mainstream recognition in recent years, it still has unfavorable stereotypes(刻板印象).The professional skateboarders I know are responsible members of society. Their hairstyles and clothes are simply part of the culture, even when they appear strange during competitions.
So here I am, 38 years old, a wife and a mother of three, with a lengthy list of responsibilities. And although I have many job titles—senior advisor, foundation chairwoman, well-known actress—the one I am most proud of is professional skateboarder.
My youngest son's preschool class were recently asked what their parents do for work. The responses were things like, “My dad sells money.” and “My mom figures stuff out.” My son said, “I've never seen my mom do work.”
It's true. Skateboarding doesn't seem like real work, but I'm proud of what I do. My parents never once questioned the practicality behind my passion(酷爱). I hope to pass on the same lesson to my children someday.
24. What does the underlined word “bleak” in paragraph 3mean
A. Successful. B. Certain. C. Bright. D. Unpromising.
25. What can we learn from paragraph 5 about the professional skateboarders
A. They are irresponsible members of society.
B. They lovemaking unpleasant comments.
C. They wear strange hairstyles and clothes.
D. They turn deaf ears to other people's ideas.
26. Which job title is the author most proud of
A. Famous actress. B. Professional skateboarder.
C. Senior advisor. D. Foundation chairwoman.
27. What is the author most likely to tell her children
A. Follow their passion and keep at it.
B. Don't question the practicality of her job.
C. They are lucky to have a supportive mother.
D. Skateboarding is the best sport in the world.
C
At a Pittsburgh wedding, the cookie table is as important as the first kiss. But finding the true origin of the tradition is as challenging as making the perfect cookie table. Some say it's a custom brought to Pittsburgh by immigrants and everybody from Italians to Polish people claims its heritage. Others say it grew out of a need to save money on cake in the 1930s.
But the cookie table's connection with weddings didn't show up in publications until the 1990s. Certainly, Pittsburghers feasted on wedding cookie tables well before the 1990s, with local bakers saying they recall cookie tables at their families' weddings for as long as they can remember.
“When I was a kid, the big talk was not ‘How was the wedding ’ Instead, it was ‘How were the cookies ’” said 70-year-old Marc Serrao, owner of Oakmont Bakery in Pittsburgh. “Perhaps the concept didn't show up in newspapers and cookbooks because everybody was doing it, so it wasn't seen as newsworthy.”
But no matter the origins, this tradition of sharing sweet homemade cookies at weddings is baked into Pittsburgh culture. For many local families, preparing a cookie table has become a unique way to show their love.
There's no exact number of cookies at a wedding. It's usually somewhere between six per guest up to one-and-a-half dozen(十二) per guest.
Then when can the guest seat the cookies
The answer likely lies in family tradition. Some families open the cookie tables before dinner, while most families wait until after dinner. Generally, it is recommended to wait until after dinner.
“However, what is tradition and what happens are two totally different things,” Marc Serra o says. “I dare someone to tell Grandma that she is not allowed to pick a cookie off the cookie table before dinner. I also dare someone to tell Aunt Betsy that she is not allowed to put four cookies in her bag for the next morning with her coffee.”
28. What can we know about the cookie table from the first four paragraphs
A. It was brought to Pittsburgh by immigrants.
B. It first appeared at weddings during the 1990s.
C. It grew out of a need to save money in the 1930s.
D. It has been an important part of a wedding in Pittsburgh.
29. How many cookies are usually prepared for each guest
A.3~6. B.5~12. C.6~18. D.19~24.
30. When can guests usually eat the cookies
A. Old people always eat before dinner.
B. It is better to wait until after dinner.
C. It is necessary to ask Grandma first.
D. They are usually eaten the next morning.
31. What does Marc Serra o mean in the last paragraph
A. There are exceptions to rules. B. We have to follow customs strictly.
C. It is OK for old people to break rules. D. It is not important to follow traditions.
D
Most people don't lie very much. It makes sense. By being honest with people, you not only buildup goodwill， but also save a lot of brainpower since your brain doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary when you tell the truth. You just think of what you want to say, and you say it.
However, lying takes much more work. Imagine you're late to class and the teacher asks why. If you decide to lie, you have to make up a story on the spot, think about the various directions the conversation might take and figure out what you need to say to keep this whole lie from falling apart. You might not be aware of it, but you just give your brain a lot of extra work. “A lot of that brain work is done in a region called the prefrontal cortex. It's the part in charge of working memory,” explains Jennifer Vendemia, a scientist from the University of South Carolina.
Working memory keeps something in mind just for a little while, such as remembering instructions for how to play a game or some other specific task. It stores things for only a short while as you're using them, and it doesn't put them in long-term storage. Besides working memory, the prefrontal cortex also takes care of tasks such as planning, problem-solving and self-control. Scientists describe these as executive function tasks. Executive function lets you think a step or two ahead to make sure the lie you're telling will likely holdup to questioning. “Spending so much brainpower trying to keep a story straight means there's less available for other things,” says Vendemia. “Lying is especially harmful for young people as the prefrontal cortex is not fully developed until around age 25. When the prefrontal cortex is busy with tasks related to lying, younger people have a harder time doing other tasks.”
Lying has social costs, too. People generally value honesty and don't like liars. So if people view you as untrustworthy, it can be bad for your relationships.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The costs of lying to people. B. The true meaning of honesty.
C. The benefits of being truthful. D. The difficulty of being a good liar.
33.Why is a lying student mentioned in the second paragraph
A. To prove a theory. B. To introduce a topic.
C. To provide the background. D. To give an example.
34. Which of the following is the function of working memory
A. Remembering a life-long lesson.
B. Storing information for a short time.
C. Pushing oneself to face difficulties.
D. Processing information in the brain.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. What Are the Harmful Effects of Lying
B. Which Part of Brain Is in Charge of Lying
C. When Is It Especially Bad for People to Lie
D. How Can We Keep Lies From Falling Apart

Draw personal connections to the artwork
Even though it may not be what the artist intended, a color, a flower or a pattern in a painting might remind you of something in your own life. So let your mind wander and follow your thought wherever it leads you. 40
A. Consider the value of the artwork
B. Then a deep connection will happen
C. You don't need more than an hour or two
D. Pick a museum that is related to your interest
E. Instead, allow yourself to feel how the art makes you feel

“This time, it's a teamwork,” our English teacher said one Monday morning. “You're going to read a nice book together with two or three teammates. Then each team will make a presentation by the end of the week. The team that makes the best presentation will get a prize.” As soon as our teacher finished explaining the rules, Liya went to me and asked, “Teammates ”
Since Liya and I were interested in picture books and took painting class together, I agreed to be her teammate without a second thought.
During the lunchtime, we went to the dining room together to exchange ideas on the reading project over lunch. Kasha, with whom I always did stuff together, happened to sit at the next table.
“Kasha, do you have any good idea for us ” I asked casually.
“Why should I give you guys ideas ” she replied in a hurt tone. “I'll save them for my own team. After all, I am not your first choice for the project.”
On hearing this, I realized that she was mad with me, for a good reason. If I were her，not only would I feel hurt, but I'd also be worried about which team I could join. Now I had my teammate and Kasha didn't.
With my eyes fixed on the floor, I apologized in a low voice, “I'm sorry to leave you out. But would you like to join us now ”
I thought that Kasha would be pleased with the invitation. To my surprise, she refused immediately. At the very moment, I realized that Kasha was really angry. So, I decided to do something to let her know that she was always one of my best friends.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右；

That evening, I happened to see a picture book that Kasha and I had read together.

【答案与解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者在文中讲述了Ritch Addison“幽默”成长的故事。
56， worried 考查动词的时态。根据空前的时间及谓语的时态“In elementary school, he didn’t speak up for himself,...”可知，该句叙述的是过去发生的事，故用所给动词的过去式。
57.to develop 考查非谓语动词。makeup one's mind to do sth意为“决心做某事”，为固定搭配。
58.of 考查介词。make fun of意为“取笑”，为固定短语。
59.people's 考查名词所有格。根据句意可知，feeling与people之间存在所属关系，故此处用所给名词的所有格形式。
60. was shocked 考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语The none day可知，此处用一般过去时，又因为shock与Ⅰ之间存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故此处用被动语态。
61. absolutely 考查词形转换。此处用所给形容词的副词修饰空后的形容词，作状语。
62. how考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个宾语从句。结合句意“‘我’开始留意别人
对‘我’的幽默有何反应”可知，此处用连接副词how作状语，意为“如何”。
63.however/though 考查副词。根据句意可知，此处表示转折关系，故用however或though。
64.being 考查非谓语动词。on为介词，故用所给动词的动名词being作宾语。
65.a 考查冠词。kind为可数名词，又因为该处是泛指，故用不定冠词a。
第一节
One possible version:
Dear editor,
At my school, there is a growing concern over the smartphone use. Our school makes it clear that we cannot use smartphones at school. Otherwise, we will be punished. However, many of us try to use them in secret.
I don't think it is right to forbid smartphones at school. Firstly, they can keep us up-to-date with current events, which is very important for our study. Secondly, they can help us to exchange ideas with like-minded people. In short, I think smartphones should not be forbidden as long as they are used wisely.
Best regards.
Yours faithfully.

第二节
One possible version:
That evening, I happened to see a picture book that Kasha and I had read together. Suddenly, I had a good idea; to paint a picture to express my regret to her. I went to my desk immediately and started drawing a few scenes of us enjoying each other's company. At the bottom of the page, I wrote, “Dear Kasha, I hope that this letter will remind you that you are one of my best friends and that you will never be left out again.”
The next day, I slipped my painting into Kasha's desk, hoping that it would make her forgive me. It did more than that! After she read it, she went to me and said, “I really love your painting and I'm sorry to be so sensitive yesterday. Why not read the picture book again with Liya Perhaps we can draw more pictures and share them with our classmates at the presentation.” Hearing her words, I exchanged a knowing smile with Liya and felt relieved that the misunderstanding between us was finally cleared up.
