John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”
John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “A children! Get the children!” John grabbed (抓住) her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.
In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cry. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. The told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!”
But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children.

New emojis (表情符号) appear every year. The updates come from a California-based nonprofit called Unicode Consortium. Each year, the emoji committee releases new emojis that will update the existing keyboard.
Jennifer Duniel, chair of the committee, says that it’s not the organization coming up with these new characters. It’s the public.
The first emoji keyboard was created in Japan in the 1990s by mobile phone company designer Shigetaka Kurita. Kurita created emojis because the company offered email communications that were limited to 250 characters and an emoji is only one character each but can be used to say more. Emoji have become popular around the world— 92 percent of the online population uses them.
“They aren’t tied to any language. They aren’t tied to any region of the world.” she says.
Anyone is allowed to submit (提交) new emojis, and if they make a strong enough case, Unicode will accept them. “We do get suggestions in lots of different languages from around the world,” says Daniel.
An emoji idea has to meet certain criteria (标准). These criteria include its clear differences, whether it can be used with existing emojis and whether it can have multiple meanings. The popular face with “tears of joy” emoji, for example, is easy to identify, which makes it distinct. You can pair it with many other emojis to convey how you are feeling. Additionally, this emoji has adopted many meanings.
Kids today are very familiar with emojis and how to use them. And the keyboard has got more than 3,600 emoji characters. “They became more and more comfortable and confident using emojis, which means they’re more willing to take risks,” Daniel says of younger generations who grow up with the keyboard.
8. Which best describes emojis
A. They vary from place to place.
B. They are more expressive than words.
C. They make daily talk more difficult.
D. They are limited in computers.
9. What can be learnt about Unicode Consortium
A It gives emojis new meanings.
B. It invents new enojis every year.
C. It created the first emoji keyboard.
D. It judges the submission of new emojis.
10. Why is the popular face with “tears of joy” emoji mentioned
A. To show its popularity among young people.
B. To make the emoji accepted by more people.
C. To make the criteria understood more easily.
D. To prove its difference from others.
11. What’s the younger generation’s attitude towards using emojis
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious D. Critical
D
Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes (染色体）, called telomeres(端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children 3t ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children's telomeres —in cells obtained by wiping the insides of their cheeks一at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shlev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.
12. The new study found that .
A. hardship can change a child's memory
B. violence can speed up a child's aging
C. violence leaves scars on a child s mind
D. hardship has an effect on a child’s mind
13. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Telomeres. B. Children.
C. Chromosomes. D. DNA sequences.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Violence can cause quick cell death in children’s body.
B. Telomeres can help prevent chromosomes from separating.
C. Children who have shorter telomeres have heart attacks later.
D. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Violence and Telomeres
B. The Function of Telomeres
C. Violence Makes Children Aging
D. DNA Influences Children’s Growth

Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student
Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA(grade point average)above 3.0. ___16___ Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. Here are several habits you should adopt to get good grades.
___17___ If you haven’t had a “planner”, get one. Many people use their computers and smart phones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions(使人分心的事物). Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.
Create a weekly schedule. ___18___ Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to schoolwork. That way you know exactly how much you can achieve each day.
Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. ___19___ If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend.
Take care of yourself. During the final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while you are hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make the time for family and friends. ___20___
A. Keep things organized.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
His father said, “All set, boy ” and Jeremy nodded quickly, picking up his gun. Finally, they arrived at the marsh. Normally, Jeremy would ask his father to wait while he tried to record the beautiful place with his camera, but not this morning. This was the morning when 14-year old Jeremy was to have duck shooting.
Actually, he hated duck shooting since his father bought him a gun, taught him to shoot and promised him this trip. But he loved his father, and wanted to make his father pleased.
Jeremy put down the camera, sat down and waited anxiously.
“Better get ready. Sometimes ducks are on top of you before you know it,” his father said. He watched Jeremy break his gun, put in the bullets and close it again. “I’ll let you shoot first,” he said. He stopped suddenly, eyes narrowed. “There is a small group of ducks heading this way now. Keep your head down. I’ll give you the order.”
Jeremy’s heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don’t let the ducks come, please.”
But they kept coming. “Four black ducks and one mallard (绿头鸭),” said his father.
High above, Jeremy heard the sound of wings as the ducks went over and began to circle. The mallard was leading; his bright orange feet dropped down, reaching for the water. Closer, closer...
“Get set” his father whispered.
“Now, shoot!” cried his father in a loud voice.
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, his hands holding the gun the way his father had taught him.
At the same time, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy’s brain, but the expected sound didn’t come. Up went the mallard, until it flew away.
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。
His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His father was handing the camera to him and said softly, “Here comes another duck.”

New emojis (表情符号) appear every year. The updates come from a California-based nonprofit called Unicode Consortium. Each year, the emoji committee releases new emojis that will update the existing keyboard.
Jennifer Duniel, chair of the committee, says that it’s not the organization coming up with these new characters. It’s the public.
The first emoji keyboard was created in Japan in the 1990s by mobile phone company designer Shigetaka Kurita. Kurita created emojis because the company offered email communications that were limited to 250 characters and an emoji is only one character each but can be used to say more. Emoji have become popular around the world— 92 percent of the online population uses them.
“They aren’t tied to any language. They aren’t tied to any region of the world.” she says.
Anyone is allowed to submit (提交) new emojis, and if they make a strong enough case, Unicode will accept them. “We do get suggestions in lots of different languages from around the world,” says Daniel.
An emoji idea has to meet certain criteria (标准). These criteria include its clear differences, whether it can be used with existing emojis and whether it can have multiple meanings. The popular face with “tears of joy” emoji, for example, is easy to identify, which makes it distinct. You can pair it with many other emojis to convey how you are feeling. Additionally, this emoji has adopted many meanings.
Kids today are very familiar with emojis and how to use them. And the keyboard has got more than 3,600 emoji characters. “They became more and more comfortable and confident using emojis, which means they’re more willing to take risks,” Daniel says of younger generations who grow up with the keyboard.
8. Which best describes emojis
A. They vary from place to place.
B. They are more expressive than words.
C. They make daily talk more difficult.
D. They are limited in computers.
9. What can be learnt about Unicode Consortium
A. It gives emojis new meanings.
B. It invents new enojis every year.
C. It created the first emoji keyboard.
D. It judges the submission of new emojis.
10. Why is the popular face with “tears of joy” emoji mentioned
A. To show its popularity among young people.
B. To make the emoji accepted by more people.
C. To make the criteria understood more easily.
D. To prove its difference from others.
11. What’s the younger generation’s attitude towards using emojis
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious D. Critical
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。介绍了emoji表情的历史以及发展。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五自然段“Anyone is allowed to submit (提交) new emojis, and if they make a strong enough case, Unicode will accept them.”（任何人都可以提交新的表情符号，如果他们的理由足够充分，Unicode将接受他们。）可知，Unicode对新表情符号的提交进行评判，故选D。

Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes (染色体）, called telomeres(端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children 3t ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children's telomeres —in cells obtained by wiping the insides of their cheeks一at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shlev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction are three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.
12. The new study found that .
A. hardship can change a child's memory
B. violence can speed up a child's aging
C. violence leaves scars on a child s mind
D. hardship has an effect on a child’s mind
13. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Telomeres. B. Children.
C. Chromosomes. D. DNA sequences.
14. What can be inferred from the text
A. Violence can cause quick cell death in children’s body.
B. Telomeres can help prevent chromosomes from separating.
C. Children who have shorter telomeres have heart attacks later.
D. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Violence and Telomeres
B. The Function of Telomeres
C. Violence Makes Children Aging
D. DNA Influences Children’s Growth
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列）which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies. 可知，端粒是特殊的DNA 的序列，可以阻止染色体中的DNA 分裂。每次细胞分裂时，它们都变得更短，直到细胞不能分裂任何一个细胞。可知，“they”指的是Telomeres. 故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第六段Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence,在孩子两种或两种以上类型的暴力中，端粒会变短的速度更快。可知，被暴力对待会使一个孩子的端粒加速变动。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题，根据全文的内容可知，文章描述了主要说明暴力会加速DNA中端粒的变短而让孩子们提前衰老，而A项则很好地概括了文章大意，暴力和端粒。故选C。

Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student
Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA(grade point average)above 3.0. ___16___ Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is different, good study habits are very important. Here are several habits you should adopt to get good grades.
___17___ If you haven’t had a “planner”, get one. Many people use their computers and smart phones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that they are major distractions(使人分心的事物). Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen planner.
Create a weekly schedule. ___18___ Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to schoolwork. That way you know exactly how much you can achieve each day.
Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every hour will help keep you refreshed. ___19___ If you don’t take a break, you may find yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or a quick chat with a friend.
Take care of yourself. During the final exam week, it is common for students to fall behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular meals. Studying while you are hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the long run. Also try to make the time for family and friends. ___20___
A. Keep things organized.
B. Keep away from your computers.
C. Of course, not everyone needs breaks.
D. And they seem to spend all of their time in studying.
E. Our brains are not meant to work for hours non-stop.
F. Having a good support system will help with all the stress.
G. Then in the daily schedule, make a list of things to do each hour.

上文“Create a weekly schedule.(创建每周计划。)”是第二条建议，即就是创建一周的时间表。G项“Then under each day, make a list of things to do each hour. (然后在每一天下，列出每小时要做的事情。)”是承接上文，在周计划之下，列好一周中的每天每个小时要做的事情，也开启下文“Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping and doing anything not related to school work. (包括吃饭、睡觉和做任何与学业无关的事情的时间。)”具体细化到每个件事的时间安排。故选G项。

【20题详解】
上文“Also try to make time for friends and family. (也尽量为朋友和家人腾出时间。)”可知，作者建议要花时间跟家人在一起。F项“Having a good support system will help with all the stress. (拥有良好的支持系统将有助于缓解所有压力。)”正是解释了作者提出该条建议的原因，因为家人和朋友的支持能够帮助我们缓解压力，符合行文逻辑，故选F项。

【答案】Dear friends,
Do you know the earth is becoming warmer and warmer It is human activity that has caused global warming. A low - carbon lifestyle is the key to handling this big problem.
To fulfill it, we should do our part in our daily life. First, turn off the taps, the lights and so on when we are not using them. It is a good idea to recycle everything recyclable in our daily life. What’s more, motor vehicles use a lot of energy—so walk or ride a bike if we can. It also makes sense to stick to the habit of setting the temperature of our air conditioners at about 26° C in summer.
Let’s take action now! If we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
His father said, “All set, boy ” and Jeremy nodded quickly, picking up his gun. Finally, they arrived at the marsh. Normally, Jeremy would ask his father to wait while he tried to record the beautiful place with his camera, but not this morning. This was the morning when 14-year old Jeremy was to have duck shooting.
Actually, he hated duck shooting since his father bought him a gun, taught him to shoot and promised him this trip. But he loved his father, and wanted to make his father pleased.
Jeremy put down the camera, sat down and waited anxiously.
“Better get ready. Sometimes ducks are on top of you before you know it,” his father said. He watched Jeremy break his gun, put in the bullets and close it again. “I’ll let you shoot first,” he said. He stopped suddenly, eyes narrowed. “There is a small group of ducks heading this way now. Keep your head down. I’ll give you the order.”
Jeremy’s heart was beating wildly. He prayed, “Don’t let the ducks come, please.”
But they kept coming. “Four black ducks and one mallard (绿头鸭),” said his father.
High above, Jeremy heard the sound of wings as the ducks went over and began to circle. The mallard was leading; his bright orange feet dropped down, reaching for the water. Closer, closer...
“Get set,” his father whispered.
“Now, shoot!” cried his father in a loud voice.
Jeremy felt his body obey. He stood up, his hands holding the gun the way his father had taught him.
At the same time, the wild ducks saw the gunners and flew. “Shoot!” said something sharply in Jeremy’s brain, but the expected sound didn’t come. Up went the mallard, until it flew away.
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。
His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His father was handing the camera to him and said softly, “Here comes another duck.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】His father asked in a controlled voice, “Why didn’t you shoot ”“Because they so alive,” Jeremy explained, with his lips shaking. He sat on the grass, buried his face in his hands and burst into tears. All hope of pleasing his father was gone. For a long moment, his father was silent. Then Jeremy felt him kneel down beside him and pat him on the shoulder gently. Suddenly, his father shouted, “Get ready!” Feeling cold metal touching his hard, Jeremy looked up.
His father was handing the camera to hi m and said softy “Here comes another duck.” A beautiful wild duck flew closer, its white breast shining in the sunshine. Jeremy held up his camera immediately. “I got him!” A broad smile lit up his face. His father gave him a thumbs - up. Jeremy discovered there was no disappointing in his eyes, only pride and love. “It’s OK, son. I love shooting, but that doesn’t mean you have to.” He paused and said, “Could you teach me how to use that camera ”
【解析】
