Video games are most commonly associated with violence and aggression. They promote antisocial behavior in children. True, they are not outdoor games, but they are interactive. Here are some positive effects of video games.
Games like Angry Birds and Cut the Rope have shown to be of help in improving problem-solving skills. Video games based on words or number puzzles have a similar effect. In 2008, researchers in the University of Washington created a game called Foldit, which let the players model a genetic make-up of proteins. The phase(相位）estimates made by high scoring players helped in the identification of the crystal structure (晶体结构）for a monkey virus related to AIDS. This breakthrough can largely result from the problem-solving skills exercised during the game play.
Video games require players to plan their moves and take strategic decisions, which means planning right and taking necessary action at the right time. Playing video games is thus beneficial to improving planning and decision-making skills. According to a study from the University of Rochester, those who played action video games and computer games made decisions 25% faster than others.
Adam Gazzaley from the University of California tried to show how video games improved multitasking skills. His experiments showed that playing a 3-D racing game could improve one’s ability to multitask. It has been found that expert gamers can pay attention to six different things at the same time as opposed to others who can attend to only four things at a time.
Some video games help develop skills that are directly relevant to certain professions. Flight simulation games, for example, can be used for training pilots. From the results of Dr. Rosser’s experiment in 2007，it was astonishing to know that surgeons who played video games were faster in action and made fewer mistakes. Business simulation games help develop real business skills. A game like Zoo Tycoon gives the players an experience of managing a zoo. Games like America’s Army have been used to train the US army soldiers.
If there is no restriction of the time for which children are allowed to play these games, they are bound to have a negative effect on children. If game playing lacks parental supervision, children might make the wrong choices and participate in violent games, or games not meant for children of their age.
4. Which of the following statements about video games is NOT true
A. They develop mathematical skills and reading abilities.
B. They require players to receive information passively.
C. They encourage antisocial elements and violence.
D. They expose players to some real-life situations.
5. What is Angry Birds helpful for
A. Problem-solving.
B. Decision-making.
C. Multitasking.
D. Emotion-developing.
6. What is used to show video games can help make decisions faster
A. The results of the University of Washington in 2008.
B. The results of Dr. Rosser’s experiment in 2007.
C. A study from the University of California.
D. A study from the University of Rochester.
7. What do the effects of video games depend on from the last paragraph
A. Designers who created the video games.
B. Types and the time for which they are played.
C. The rules of the video games.
D. Popularity of the video games among children.

Raining Fish Weather Conditions
Lajamanu, Australia, is a dry little town, sitting right on the edge of the Tanami desert. Can you imagine how surprised people were when live fish rained down on them from dark gray clouds It happens that there are similar cases in England and Honduras.
How do clouds make fish The simple answer is that they don’t. There is a particular weather phenomenon (现象）called a waterspout. A waterspout is just like a tornado. It only forms above oceans, lakes, or rivers. Like a tornado, a waterspout moves in a circle at high speed. When it moves above the water, it tends to carry the fish with it, as well as frogs or other small plants or animals.
Scientists couldn’t work it out at first. To make matters stranger still，the fish in Honduras were very much alive when they rained down on the ground, but they were all blind. In England and Australia, it rained fish and snakes, and none were blind. It was difficult to puzzle out, but the blind fish gave them a place to start.
Scientists knew that some fish that lived in deep, underground caves with no light often lost their sight. So when blind fish rained down on Honduras， scientists began to connect some dots. Clearly, these particular fish were pulled from an underground water source by force.
It has rained fish on every continent，and each time，people have tried in various ways to explain this strange phenomenon. Historically, villagers thought the “fish from the heavens” might be answers to prayers for food. Others suggested that floods overran riverbanks and oceans, leaving the fish on the city streets. No scientist had actually seen the rain as it occurred, only the fish left on the ground. But in 1990, a National Geographic team happened to be in Honduras when the Rain of Fish began. They recorded what was happening and made history by finally proving that the fish did fall from the sky.
This huge breakthrough wasn’t just a spot of good luck. It changed thousands of years of myths and legends into true stories and provided scientific explanations for how fish living in deep caves came to a faraway place. It explained ancient cave paintings and shed new light on how species have spread over time. It turned out to be a lot more than just the raining fish weather.
8. According to the passage, which one is TRUE about the waterspout
A. It can make animals blind.
B. It is difficult to catch on film.
C. It can carry items with it.
D. It is a dangerous sea creature.
9. What did the blind fish make the scientists start to think about
A. Raining fish was a warning of natural disasters.
B. Animals changed to match their environments.
C. The weather system differed from place to place.
D. The waterspout theory seemed more possible.
10. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably suggest
A. Waterspouts came to be a center of scientific research.
B. The scientists were fortunate to have made their discoveries.
C. Hard work went into determining the cause of the raining fish.
D. The scientists relied heavily on unusual events to drive their studies.
11. The author writes the passage to________.
A. describe the magic phenomenon
B. explain what caused the raining fish weather
C. persuade people to protect the environment
D. recommend a tourist spot
D
Waste heat from one of the London Underground’s lines will be used to warm over a thousand homes in the UK capital this winter. The warm air will be channeled from the Northern Line to support the London borough of Islington’s district heating.
Named Bunhill 2, the heat network is a joint project between Islington Council, Transport for London and the engineering firm Ramboll and is considered as the first of its kind in Europe. The Council hopes the system will make London more self-sufficient (自给自足的）in energy，cut carbon emissions and reduce heating bills for people. Meanwhile, the tube passengers on the Underground can also expect cooler air.
District heating，also known as heat networks，is the supply of heat and hot water from a central source to a group of buildings. The Bunhill 2 district heating system is the second phase (阶段）of Islington Council’s Bunhill Heat and Power scheme—a heat network in Islington that was established in 2013 to warm approximately 700 homes.
The network currently channels heat created in the Bunhill Energy Centre power station into local council housing, schools and a leisure centre. Bunhill 2 will extend this network to more community buildings and a further 450 homes.
The central source of the Bunhill 2 heat network is a ventilation shaft (通风井）—a passage that is used to expel waste heat—in the abandoned (废弃的)City Road station. A heat pump designed by Ramboll will capture this extra heat from the ventilation shaft，before it is warmed to approximately 70 degrees Celsius. This will then be transferred (转移）to Islington’s heat network to supply heat and hot water to buildings.
According to the Greater London Authority， there is enough heat wasted in London to meet 38 per cent of the city’s heating demand. The expansion of district heating networks like Bunhill 2 could see this increase to 63 per cent by 2050.
“We believe that the use of large-scale heat in this way connected to urban district heating systems will play a major part in meeting the UK’s heating energy demand,” explained Lucy Padfield, director of District Heating at Ramboll.
“The use of heat pumps taking advantage of
industrial waste heat sources is more carbon-efficient than gas-fired combined heat and power, the usual source of heat for district energy schemes,” she continued. “I am convinced that with the increasing use of renewable power sources, large-scale heat pumps connected to district heating systems will play a major role in the future heating of cities in the UK.”
12. What can we learn about Bunhill 2 in London
A. It is inspired by other cities in Europe.
B. It will be beneficial to London’s environment.
C. It can satisfy the whole city’s need for energy.
D. It is aimed at cooling the London Underground.
13. What does the underlined word“expel”in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Rely on.
B. Deal with.
C. Break down.
D. Drive out.
14. What is Lucy Padfield’s attitude towards Bunhill 2
A. Concerned.
B. Confident.
C. Amazed.
D. Disapproving.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. London’s special ways to protect the environment.
B. The development of London’s district heating network.
C. Using waste heat from the Underground to warm homes.
D. Ways to deal with the London Underground’s waste heat.

42. easily考查副词。句意：他们的钱赚得不容易。此处用副词作状语，修饰谓语动词。故填easily。
43. pleased考查形容词。句意：我的父母对我的想法感到非常高兴。please有三个形容词形式：pleasing、pleasant和pleased pleasing指“令人高兴的，令人满意的”；pleasant指“令人愉快的”；pleased指“感到满意的，感到高兴的”。此处需使用 pleased描述主语 My parents，表示“父母对我的想法感到高兴”。故填 pleased。
44. supported考查非谓语动词。句意：从现在开始，我将做一个在父母的资助下做到量入为出的学生。空处为非谓语动词作定语，修饰 a student, a student与 support为逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词。故填 supported。
45. realizing考查非谓语动词。句意：我期待用通过我的努力工作获得的钱实现我的梦想。look forward to这个短语中的to是介词，后接动名词形式作宾语。故填 realizing。

第二节
One possible version：
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, the son’s eyes was filled with tears and began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritated while his father asked him the same question just four times. The son thought to himself: If I attain old age, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son fell to his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to for him for his bad behavior. He said this aloud, “I promise you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless affection on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best way.”
