Mr. Guo is a teacher from Xi’an. He asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code(二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate (产生) the codes, and in the end everything gets easier” said Gao. “When students finish the homework, they keep it on WeChat. Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or telephone.”
The QR codes can be sent to Mr. Guo by email, QQ and WeChat. When Guo scans(扫描)his students’ QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Guo’s students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun,” said Tingting, a student of Guo’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share,” Guo said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don’t want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it’s unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their homework, which doesn’t take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the Students’ work at any time. And it’s also an easy way to share homework with other students.
24．According to the passage, students can keep their homework on________.
A．WeChat B．QQ C．e-mail D．blog
25．Guo’s students think the new way is________.
A．strange B．boring C．interesting D．unnecessary
26．Some parents are worried, because they think their children will________.
A．talk with teachers face to face B．spend too much time on computers
C．not like the new way of handing in homework D．find the QR codes too difficult to use
27．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Teachers needn’t check homework any more. B．Students needn’t hand in homework any more.
C．Using QR codes makes checking homework easier. D．Some parents are worried about their children.

It is late autumn—millions of gardeners across the northern hemisphere, pulled on their thickest sweaters, spent hours clearing large piles of leaves and packed them into plastic bags at the end of driveways.
In the US alone, nearly 10 million tonnes of garden waste go to landfill every year. That is a large amount of effort, not just from an environmental viewpoint but from that of our aching backs, too. So where does this advice come from Well, it largely comes from the belief that thick fallen leaves can make plants under them unable to breathe, especially shorter grass. They shut down important photosynthesis (光合作用) and get in the way of the growth of the shorter grass. However, this received wisdom has recently been questioned by researchers at Wisconsin University.
The key finding of their new research was that although clearing fallen leaves is one of the most common gardening practices, it makes very little sense. In natural ecosystems, fallen leaves help return nutrients necessary for healthy plant growth to the soil, which greatly improves soil condition. Removing leaves year after year breaks this ecological (生态的) balance. Letting some leaves stick around to cover your garden is a great way to help your grass and the local ecosystem.
They further explained that if up to 50percent of your grass lawn (草坪) is covered by fallen leaves, you might as well go back indoors and put your feet up. The advantages of this light leaf coverage far outweigh the disadvantages—the leaves will quickly break down and help next year’s lawn grow far better than if you had cleared them. Only at over 50 percent coverage do the Wisconsin researchers recommend clearing.
So why not consider leaving the leaves Save time, carbon and effort, and in exchange get a healthier lawn from this garden waste—that seems like a pretty good deal. And how many plastic bags could be saved by simply not binning fallen leaves every year In the US alone, about 700 million.
28．What does the author describe in paragraph 1
A．An amazing autumn game. B．A common sight in gardens.
C．A hot attraction in the north. D．An extreme weather event.
29．What is the received wisdom
A．Fallen leaves need not be cleared B．Fallen leaves protect shorter grass.
C．Fallen leaves block photosynthesis. D．Fallen leaves are hard to break down.
30．The new research finds clearing fallen leaves makes little sense, because ________.
A．it ruins city image B．it breaks gardening rules
C．it affects local economy D．it causes ecological damage
31．What’s the author’s attitude to Wisconsin University’s study
A．Doubtful. B．Positive. C．Unclear. D．Worried.
D
With low or no-carbohydrate diets rising in popularity in recent times, the potato is now regularly overlooked in favour of other vegetables. In fact, research literature has previously indicated potatoes may have a detrimental effect on health, such as increasing the possibility of developing Type2 diabetes(糖尿病).
However, new research done by Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown while potatoes may not have all the same benefits as some other vegetables, such as lowering risk of Type 2 diabetes, health issues associated with potatoes may actually be due to how people are preparing them and what they’re eating them with.
A recent analysis of this study led by Dr Nicola Bondonno from ECU’s Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute found people who consumed the most vegetables were 21 percent less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those who consumed the least amount of vegetables. PhD candidate Pratik Pokharel carried out work on the analysis and said while potatoes didn’t have the same impact on Type 2 diabetes, they also didn’t have any negative effect.
“In Denmark, people consume potatoes prepared in many different ways. In our study, we could distinguish between the different preparation methods. When we separated boiled potatoes from mashed potatoes(土豆泥), fries or crisps, boiled potatoes were no longer associated with a higher risk of diabetes: They had a zero effect,” said Pokharel.
“In our study, people who ate the most potatoes also consumed more butter, red meat and soft drinks-foods known to increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes,” said Pokharel. “We should separate potatoes from other vegetables in regard to messaging about disease prevention but replacing refined grains such as white rice and pasta(意大利面食)with potatoes can improve your diet quality because of fibre and other nutrients found in potatoes.”
32．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Magical. B．Protective. C．Fantastic. D．Negative.
33．What may contribute to the bad reputation of potatoes according to ECU’s research
A．The effects they have caused. B．The ways they are consumed.
C．The places where they are planted. D．The results previous studies have shown.
34．Which of the following have little effect on Type 2 diabetes
A．Fries. B．Crisps. C．Boiled potatoes. D．Mashed potatoes.
35．What is Pokharel’s attitude towards potatoes
A．Critical. B．Opposed. C．Indifferent. D．Objective.

While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language.

After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL Club's meetings. I only learned how to 50 the alphabet(字母表)that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 51 progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 52 those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I registered an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 53 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 54 if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 55 way of communication it opens.

A Special Gift
I always believe that there are certain gifts sticking in our minds for a variety of reasons.
The gift given to me that I treasured most was a doll named Patsy. I met her in a gift shop when I was nine. On holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t even bear to part from her. At that time, my mother noticed it and at Christmas, as I received the gift from her, I was surprised to find my dream doll in the box. From then on Patsy became my baby and I loved her dearly.
A month later, I was on my way to the cinema when I glimpsed some lovely gifts in pretty boxes through the window of the gift shop. Seeing them reminded me that my mother’s birthday was a few months away. Wouldn’t it be nice, I thought, if I could give her something really special, just like the gift she gave me I stepped inside and caught sight of a beautiful dress hung on the coat stand, which I was sure my mother would like. So I asked the saleswoman its price.
The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me how much it would cost. But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits. She took out a notebook from under the counter and wrote my name as well as the item I wanted to buy on it, and in return I paid her five cents from my six cents pocket money. It meant no candies that day but I didn’t care. At the age of nine, I made my very first installment (分期付款)and felt like a grown-up. From then on, every Saturday on my way to the cinema, I went to the shop and paid a few cents which the lady dutifully recorded on her notebook.
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。
The day before my mother’s birthday, I paid the last two cents.

第一节
What will I be like in ten years
In ten years I will be more mature and confident. I will have achieved a master degree by then. My major will be traditional Chinese medicinal science which I have been caring for, and I will devote myself to curing the sick and the development of the very science. As a doctor, I will work in some hospital from Monday to Friday. But at some weekends I’d like to call on some patients who are too old to walk.
Also I’d like to read some books on traditional medicine in my spare time. I will make friends with my patients and chatting with them is my great pleasure. Maybe I will not make much money, but I enjoy my work, which will surely bring me happiness.
Now I know it’s only my dream and to realize my dream, I should make great efforts. I believe hard work can bridge the distance between dream and reality.
第二节
The day before my mother’s birthday, I paid the last two cents. As the lady wrapped the gift in brown paper, tied it with a piece of string, and carefully put it into a gift box, I attentively signed my name on the notebook, meaning that I had paid off all my debts. I thanked her and excitedly left the shop. “Be careful you don’t lose it,” she called after me. “I won’t!” I responded. Carrying the gift, I skipped away, singing happily to myself.
The special day finally came. I placed the box on the table, hopping from one foot to the other, as my mom untied the knot and slowly peeled away the brown paper. My heart was racing. Then, as I bit into my bottom lip, the content was revealed. “Do you like it ” I asked excitedly. My mom didn’t say a word, but I got the answer from her face on which the same delighted smile as mine was worn when I received Patsy from her.
