文章大意:本文是记叙文。Knit Wits是一个由一群奶奶组成的非营利组织,这群奶奶为Children’s Health Hospital患有心脏病的幼儿送上她们手工编织的帽子。这些幼儿可以戴上帽子庆祝节假日和拍照。

2 . Dallas-based Knit Wits is made up of a group of grandmothers with a strong love for knitting (编织) who tum their love for crafting into a purposeful attempt. Meeting regularly, they pour their collective love into every stitch (针法) they make. The group has been working for over ten years, meeting every Friday, to support organizations that help others, locally and around the world. Over the years, they’ve crafted thousands of items insupport of the important things.

Recently the Knit Wits member Mary Ann Stover was inspired to have the group knit hats for infant (婴儿) patients with heart disease at Children’s Health Hospital. The hats, each a unique work of art, designed with holiday themes, reflect the skill of the Knit Wits. More importantly, the special of Knit Wits is its understanding of the emotional effect these small objects can have on the infants experiencing medical treatments.

Bealle, a certified child life specialist at Children’s Health Hospital, explained how the hats are making a difference to the tiny patients and their families. “Caregivers are able to wear the hats on their body to move their smells before placing the hats back on the infants, encouraging connecting and making the infants less stressful,” he said.

Throughout the infants’ admission, many holidays are celebrated. At times, some infants are seriously ill and unable to dress up for holiday photos the families have planned. Thanks to the donations from Knit Wits, the hospital team is able to prove the family with a suitable themed infant hat the family can use for their photos and holiday celebrations.

1. What do we know about the hats from paragraph 2?
A.They centre on spiritual comfort.
B.They have holiday food subjects.
C.They are knitted by the caregivers
D.They are worn on child parents’ birthdays.
2. Why do the caregivers wear the hats first?
A.To hold an artistic activity.
B.To see off the recovered patients.
C.To relax the infants for treatments
D.To welcome the arrival of various holidays.
3. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Why some holiday celebrations are held.
B.What the hats can be used as on holidays.
C.Why some special photos are important.
D.What the hats can be matched with.
4. Which of the following can best describe the members of Knit Wits?
A.UnsuccessfulB.Impractical.C.Warm-heartedD.Dishonest.

3 . THE FATHER OF CHINA’S AEROSPACE

Perhaps no other scientist has had a greater impact on China’s aerospace science than Qian Xuesen. Described by the authors of the Story of Qian Xuesen as a man with “great scientific thought and scientific spirit” who was patriotic and served his homeland with effort, achievement, and devotion, Qian was an extremely well-respected man.

Born in Hangzhou in 1911, Qian attended schools in Beijing and then entered Shanghai Jiao Tong University to study Railway Mechanical Engineering. However, after the Songhu Battle broke out in 1932, Qian made the decision to switch his major to aviation because he realised that China needed its own powerful air force to protect and defend the country.

Qian went to the United States in 1935 to pursue his graduate studies. Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, Qian became a pioneer in American jet and rocket technology. As a graduate assistant at the California institute of Technology during the 1930s, Qian helped conduct important research into rocket propulsion, and in the 1940s, he and several other people founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, now one of NASA’S leading space-exploration centres.

After overcoming some difficulties during his final few years in the US Qian returned to China in 1955. He received a hero’s welcome from his homeland and was put in charge of not only developing China’s rocket science but also its space and missile programme. At that time, China was poor and its rocket science was undeveloped. No institute or university in China offered rocket science as a major, and there were no talents or experts in this field in China. Nevertheless, Qian did not let that discourage him from taking on the challenge. When asked “Can we Chinese possibly make missiles?” his reply was a determined “Why not? We Chinese are able to make the same things that other people make.”

Under Qians leadership, China developed the Dongfeng missiles, followed by the first generation of Long March rockets. In 1970, China successful launched its first man-made satellite, Dong Fang Hong I, from a Long March rocket. Because much of the technology behind the Shenzhou rockets can also be traced back to Qian’s research, Qian earned the name of “the father of Chinas aerospace.”

Qian read a lot and was extremely knowledgeable, especially in the area of frontier science research. However, what might have made him such an outstanding and creative scientist was probably his strong interest in other things, such as music and drawing. His deep appreciation for art often gave him inspiration in his scientific research.

On 31 October 2009, the whole country was saddened by Qians death, and people honoured and remembered him in different ways.

A WORLD OF PURE THOUGHT

Stephen Hawking was one of the most famous and gifted scientists in physics. Most people are familiar with images of him in his wheelchair unable to move and using a computer to talk. Since he came down with a disease which caused him to lose the use of most of his muscles his world became one of abstract thought.

Hawking first achieved fame when he was still healthy enough to walk, as a graduate student in physics at Cambridge University in 1964. In general there were two main theories on the origin of the universe. The first was the steady state theory, which holds that the universe has no beginning or end. The other was the big bang theory, which holds that the universe began at a single point in time and space. The biggest champion of the steady state concept was Fred Hoyle, a professor at Cambridge. During the question and answer period after one of Hoyle’s lectures, Hawking stood up and pointed out that Hoyle had made a mistake in his maths. Once the maths was corrected, it showed that the big bang theory — and not the steady state theory — was true. Hawking’s own work on the big bang theory was soon proven by astronomers with telescopes. A star was born.

So, what made Stephen Hawking a genius? Besides being brilliant, he was brave, though sometimes careless in what he said or did. He was willing to say what others were afraid to say, and to dream of what others were afraid to dream about. Furthermore, he was quite determined. This had helped him as a scientist, and had helped him even more in his fight against his disease. Above all, Hawking was willing to admit his faults. This odd combination of characteristics had made him one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述成年人对成年的感受。

6 . Many of the present generation of recent over-18s do not feel like adults, according to a survey by Nationwide Building Society, and those commenting online seem to agree. The study of 2,000 over-18s found more than one in 10 did not think of themselves as fully-fledged (成熟的) grown-ups until they reached the age of 27.

Lisa Daisy, 34, said: “Even after a career for 10 years, it still took being married to make me feel grown-up.”

But 42-year-old Carole Lutringer said she felt like an adult when she was very young. “I had to cook from an early age, because my mother worked as a headteacher,” she said. “My mother came back home late, and my father was pretty useless in the kitchen. I had to be independent from really early on, and that’s probably what made me feel grown-up earlier than most of my peers (同龄人).”

Sana Khalid Khan also had adulthood thrust upon her. She said it was the death of her father that made her grow up, at the age of 17. “Being the eldest child, a lot of responsibility fell on my shoulders,” she said.

Of those 2,000 people asked when they felt like adults, the transition (转变) happened for half in their 20s, while a fifth said it happened in their 30s. One in 20 felt they had not grown up until their 40s. Of those questioned, 55% said being an adult was dependent on major life events, for example having children, moving out of the parental home or getting married.

For others, such as Elaine Smith, in London, adulthood is only a state of mind. “I still don’t feel grown-up,” she said. “I can’t believe I am responsible for looking after a four-year-old. How did that happen? I’m 44 this year, so it may happen soon.” Commenting online, Sophie Caunter agreed. “I’m 42,” she said. “I have an 11-year-old, a seven-month-old, a husband, and I still don’t feel grown-up.” Melinda Wilmot said, “I’m 58 and still waiting to grow up.”

1. What does the survey focus on?
A.What people think aging means.
B.How people feel about their childhood.
C.Why people grow up earlier than before.
D.When people feel they have reached adulthood.
2. What made Carole Lutringer feel grown-up?
A.Losing her dad.B.Raising her children.
C.Being married to her husband.D.Taking care of herself from an early age.
3. What does the underlined part “had adulthood thrust upon her” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Made adulthood encourage her.B.Forced adulthood on her.
C.Was excited about adulthood.D.Prepared for adulthood.
4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Adulthood means responsibility.
B.Few people feel grown-up in their 20s.
C.Some people don’t feel grown-up even in their 40s.
D.Adulthood begins earlier than most people think.

文章大意:这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者曾经篮球打得不好,总是最后一个被选中的孩子,在八年级时,作者厌倦了做一个微不足道的人,于是努力改变,经过几个月的努力,人们开始信任作者和作者一起玩。这件事让作者感悟到应该把命运掌握在自己手里,选择创造一些有意义的东西,带着我们的想法前进。

7 . I used to be bad at playing basketball. Gym class in middle school was the worst. I was always the last kid to be picked. The only reason why I was even picked at all was that I was good friends with the best player in the class.

In the eighth grade, I finally decided I was sick and tired of being a nonentity. I dedicated (奉献) that entire summer to getting better. I spent every day playing basketball, practising for hours in the gym. I remember playing pick-up games with one group of kids until they all eventually got tired and left. Then a whole different group of kids would come in and I’d play with them too.

After months of this devoted routine, something amazing started to happen. People began passing me the ball. They trusted me to take the shot. They even started picking me first to be on their team! The last game of organized basketball I ever played was the culmination (高潮) of all my hard work. Against a team far more talented than mine. I scored 27 points. We still lost, but I walked away from that game feeling like a total champion.

What I learned from those years of rejection and waiting to be picked was that life really isn’t any different. Most of us spend our lives waiting for opportunities to land in our laps. What’s worse, sometimes we feel entitled (使有权) to them. And when things don’t go our way — when no one picks us — we find something or someone to blame.

I could have complained when no one wanted me on their team. I could have convinced myself that I deserved to be picked. But I didn’t. Instead I took matters into my own hands and put in the work to become better.

Should we have our fate controlled by a few people who in most cases don’t even know us? I certainly don’t think so. We have a choice. We can choose to create something meaningful, and so move forward with our ideas.

1. What can we know about the author in the first paragraph?
A.He was always to be picked.
B.He was picked because of his good friend.
C.He was once crazy about playing basketball.
D.He used to be really good at playing basketball.
2. What does the underlined part “a nonentity” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.short person.B.A superior player.
C.An important player.D.An insignificant person.
3. According to the passage, which statement is NOT correct?
A.People still refused to play with him.
B.Now he is good at playing basketball.
C.He gained people’s trust through his effort.
D.His team was defeated by a more talented one.

文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。作者阐述了自己不与孪生兄弟读同一所大学的原因。

8 . The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.

That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In the eleventh grade, we were placed in the same maths experimental class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It is hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.

However, we were two very different candidates. I was very involved in extra-curricular activities (课外活动), while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.

Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits of going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another.

Going to a different university benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.

1. What can be inferred about the author?
A.He was fed up with people’s comparisons.
B.He was glad to hear people’s comparisons.
C.He is more handsome than David.
D.He was better at academic subjects than David.
2. What does the author think of him and David studying in the same maths experimental class?
A.Boring.B.Harmful.C.Awful.D.Beneficial.
3. Why did the author choose to go to a different university?
A.To avoid seeing David.B.To escape arguing with David.
C.To pursue a different experience.D.To strengthen bonds with David.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍海洋生态学家Malin Pinsky在两次突然醒悟的瞬间之后,带领一个20人的团队致力于海洋生态环境的研究。

9 . Malin Pinsky had the first of two lightbulb moments in 2003 while crossing Drake Passage. He was then standing on the bridge of a research ship and was scanning the sky for seabirds, which was one of his duties as a research technician on the cruise (海上航游). Just five months earlier he had finished college, where he studied biology and environmental science.

As the ship entered nutrient-rich Antarctic waters, whales suddenly showed up all around the ship. That moment on the bridge helped him realize that the ocean looks featureless from the top, but there’s so much going on underneath.

The second lightbulb moment hit him several months later. Pinsky was then an intern (实习生) in Washington, D.C. His job was making photocopies. It was around the time when two big reports had come out. Both focused on what policies might best preserve U.S. ocean resources. “I realized we have all these laws and policies that determine how we as a society interact with the ocean. But they’re far out of date. We don’t yet have the science to know what the new policy should be,” Pinsky said.

Today he runs a lab with about 20 workers. His team wants to seek how our changing climate, as well as overfishing and habitat destruction, might be driving changes in fish and other animals in the sea. To find out, team members travel each year to coral reefs near the Philippines. There, they carefully catalog populations of different fish. They collect data on the growth and mating of these fish, their diversity and other factors.

“Pinsky’s broad approach to the problem — looking at species, where they live and how fisheries are managed — is setting the pace for other scientists,” says Kimberly Oremus, a fishery economist at the University of Delaware in Newark. “Pinsky is pushing the whole field to respond to his growing body of research.”

1. What made Pinsky have the first lightbulb moment?
A.The vastness of the ocean.
B.The sight of seabirds in the sky.
C.The view of Drake Passage.
D.The appearance of whales around the ship.
2. What did Pinsky realize when he was an intern in Washington, D.C.?
A.He needed to take more photos of oceans.
B.He should do something to update ocean policies.
C.The U.S. ocean resources need to be better preserved.
D.There have already been perfect policies to preserve the ocean.
3. What does Pinsky’s team focus on?
A.The harm of overfishing.
B.Features of different fish.
C.Factors affecting ocean ecosystems.
D.The reasons for global warming.
4. What’s Kimberly Oremus’ attitude towards Pinsky’s research?
A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Disapproving.D.Uninterested.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在介绍和解释Macquarie Island上兔子和啮齿类动物泛滥的问题以及采取的解决方案。

10 . Macquarie Island is a tiny island that’s part of Australia. It’s about halfway between New Zealand and Antarctica. The island’s been made a world heritage area because it’s so untouched, but this unique environment is under threat from some unwanted visitors.

It all started when seal hunters came to the island in the early 1800s. They brought rabbits with them as a source of food for the journey, and also on board the ships were rats and mice, which made their way onto the island too. They’re being blamed for destroying the homes of marine birds, causing soil loss and ripping up plant cover, as these before-and-after photos show.

So what’s being done about the problem? It starts with a team of helicopters that fly across the island carrying these giant containers. Inside them are poisoned pellets (有毒饲料) which are dropped and spread across the island. For any rabbits that survived the baiting (诱饵) , there’s a plan B. This special team of dogs is being put through a final training. It’ll be their job to track down any remaining rabbits. They have to also learn to behave around the island’s native wildlife. The dogs could be here for years or until the task is complete. The dogs don’t actually kill the rabbits. They find them, then the hunters decide to either catch the rabbits or shoot them.

But the program has received a bit of criticism. Some people argue 25 million dollars is a lot of money to be spending on wiping out rabbits and rodents (啮齿目动物), and in the process, some native birds will be killed because of the baiting.

The reality is the problem isn’t going to be solved overnight. The people running the program say that even if one pair of rabbits is left alive, the whole task will be seen as a failure, which means these guys could be here for a long time, trying to ensure that this precious island remains protected from pests.

1. Who are these unwanted visitors?
A.Seal hunters.B.Marine wildlife.C.Native birds.D.Foreign species.
2. What do the underlined words “ripping up” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Advancing.B.Destroying.C.DividingD.Balancing
3. What is being done to solve the problem of unwanted visitors on Macquarie Island?
A.Poisoned pellets are being dropped on the island from helicopters.
B.A team of hunters is being trained to catch or shoot rabbits.
C.Native birds are being protected from the unwanted visitors.
D.A special team of dogs is being sent to kill the rabbits.
4. What is the goal of the program?
A.To spend as little money as possible.
B.To protect native birds from the unwanted visitors.
C.To ensure that no pair of rabbits survive on the island.
D.To train dogs to track down the rabbits on the island.
