Jessica Long, from Baltimore, Maryland, USA is a champion by all definitions of the word. She is one of the world’s most decorated swimmers. Jessica was the youngest athlete to win a Paralympics (残奥会) medal. But her path to becoming a champion has been anything but easy.
Jessica was born in Irkutsk, Russia with a severe and rare disease — fibular hemimelia. This means that part of her leg bones was missing or abnormal. Because of that, her young mother placed her in a Russian orphanage (孤儿院), fearing she could not care for Jessica.
Fortunately, she was adopted by an American family when she was 13 months old. She required 25 different surgeries to help her leg condition. But unfortunately, both of her legs had to be removed when she was just 18 months old. Jessica learned to walk with artificial legs. As a child, she took to sports including gymnastics, cheerleading, ice skating, biking and rock climbing.
She began swimming at her grandparents’ house when she was 6. She started competitive swimming about 4 years later. She did really well in swimming. Shortly after she started competing, Jessica was selected as Maryland’s Female Swimmer of the Year with a Disability. Even though Jessica was annoyed with her physical limitations, she was encouraged to enter her first Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece. She won three gold medals in swimming at 12! But she did not rest on her success.
Jessica has gone on to win 23 medals for Team USA at the Paralympics! While she began her career out of anger and annoyance, she now has a positive force on a mission to inspire the next generation of Paralympians! Her attitude and growth have been keys to her success. Jessica always believed she could do anything. As she says, “The only disability in life is a negative attitude.”
24．What happened to Jessica when she was a baby
A．She was abandoned in the wild.
B．She had 25 operations on her leg.
C．She had her legs cut because of a disease.
D．She was adopted by a Russian family.
25．When did Jessica begin to receive professional swimming training
A．At the age of 4. B．At the age of 6.
C．At the age of 10. D．At the age of 12.
26．What can we infer about Jessica from the text
A．She was the youngest athlete in US history.
B．She has set a good example to Paralympians.
C．She has won 23 gold medals in Paralympics.
D．She took part in several sports in Paralympics.
27．What does the author want to tell us

C
When you are asked to draw a picture, in spite of your best effort, you can’t make it look like the model shown. Then you may have thought, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body.”
According to some scientists, who for the past 20 years have studied the complex subject of creativity through a series of research strictly, you are underrating yourself. Da Vinci you may never be, but when it comes to creativity, we are all somewhat blessed. It’s learning to develop this unique tool of extraordinary productivity, and then applying it in everything you do, that counts to tell you from figures like Da Vinci.
“Even if we don’t have the good fortune to discover a new chemical element or write a great story, the love of the creative process for its own sake is available to all,” says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in Creativity: Flow and Psychology of Discovery and Invention.
Most people believe the ability of creativity has been awarded to those considered to have special talent. We look upon these “creative geniuses”, as we often call them, with respect and a bit of envy. Their abilities, most people assume, are due to good genes, or, as if in Greek mythology, from some kind of god’s inspiration.
There is no argument that the world is never short of highly talented and creative people. They are masters of their trades and stand heads-and-shoulders above common people, making new pathways for others to follow, and providing greater context and understanding of our world. It could be said that without creativity humanity would not evolve so rapidly.
But like a publicly recognized creative baseball player who possesses his skill through years of continuous training, foregoing other pursuits （追求）for the only passion, people who show the slightest unwillingness for challenging labor are bound to witness their boasted ability disappear.
After closely studying 91 creative and influential people, including novelists, playwrights, composers, musicians and scientists, Csikszentmihalyi concludes that no one would ignore the sweat they shed and their almost crazy willingness to follow their creative effort to the very end, wherever that may be. These are the very things we all can master, so long as we’d like to.
28．It’s widely believed that creativity comes from ________.
A．good training people receive from artistic classes
B．the tool we learn from masters like Da Vinci
C．some kind of god from Greek
D．the inborn genes or relevant gifts
29．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．People don’t think that the world is never short of highly talented people..
B．People’s admiration of geniuses makes humanity develop quickly.
C．The field of baseball requires more gifts than hard work.
D．Creativity lies in devotion and effort.
30．The underlined word “foregoing” is closest in meaning to ________.
A．giving up B．combining C．referring to D．extending
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．Creative people view things differently from ordinary people.
B．The reasons for the success of those possessing creativity
C．People’s misunderstanding of creativity and its true nature.
D．Ordinary people’s unwillingness to follow the examples of creative ones.
D
The world produces around 359 million tons of plastics each year. Plastics are certainly a big problem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. There are many ways we could set plastics on a different lifecycle. One that I have been working on is turning plastics into a hardy, reliable and sustainable building material.
Most people believe that plastics recycling is severely limited: only a few types can be recycled at all. This is unsurprising. The proportion of plastics that are recycled is minimal. But all polymers(聚合物)are, technologically, recyclable. Some of them can be used again and again to produce the same goods. Some can technically be reprocessed into new materials for different applications.
The problem is that recycling much of this plastic waste is currently unprofitable. But the amount of these materials all over the world is large and keeps on growing. What if this plastic waste could be used to produce something useful to the society Many universities and business people are attempting to do this. Most solutions target mixed plastic waste and suggest applications different from the original ones. For example, several groups have developed building materials made of plastic waste. Plastics are strong, durable, waterproof, lightweight and recyclable—all key properties (特性） for construction materials. So what if all of this plastic waste could be turned into building materials for low-income populations Existing initiatives are promising, but not yet reproducible on an industrial scale.
I study plastic waste with the aim of finding interesting ways to remove it from the environment. From agricultural waste to concrete waste, mixed with recycled plastics, there are many ways to obtain materials to produce bricks and other useful elements for buildings. So perhaps plastics are not necessarily the problem. They can be part of a pathway towards a more sustainable way of living.
32．What’s people’s common belief about plastic recycling
A．Almost all plastic waste can be reused. B．The methods are quite limited.
C．Not many kinds of plastics are recyclable. D．The amount is unbelievably large.
33．What can be learned from paragraph 3
A．Plastic waste is on the decline globally.
B．Recycling plastics doesn’t make money now.
C．Plastic buildings have been largely constructed.
D．New applications of plastics haven’t been found.
34．Why can plastics make good building materials
A．They can resist water and won’t last long.
B．They can be reproduced in large quantity.
C．They satisfy the needs of low-income people.
D．They meet most demands of building materials.
35．What’s the author’s attitude to plastic recycling
A．Positive. B．Anxious. C．Doubtful. D．Critical.

My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her own lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. I should add that we’re not allowed to call her Gran, because she says it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I paid a visit to her. She picked up a box which she placed on the coffee table. “There you go,” she said. “You do know what you’re doing with these things, don’t you ”
It was a new phone. Her current mobile was pretty ancient. I was amazed it was still going.
“Yes,” I said.
“Good. That’s why I ask you. You young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home with you and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use my new phone, such as getting on the internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box and stood up. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging.
The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone. “Here’s your phone. It’s all ready to use.”
For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe (滑动屏幕). “What do you mean, swipe ” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone across the room and it landed on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry and upset.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said.

推理判断题。根据最后一段“But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well, “You can’t have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. ””（但与此同时，也要记住伟大发明家查尔斯·凯特林的这句至理名言：“如果你一直想着昨天，就不会有更好的明天。”）可知，下文应该会讲述过度怀旧的不利方面。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial.”（但新的研究表明，适度的怀旧不仅是无害的，而且实际上是有益的。）以及全文从几个方面阐述了怀旧的好处，所以作者意在向大家说明怀旧的好处。故选B项。
【答案】16. F 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了遇到棘手的问题时的应对方法，要足智多谋，随机应变。
【16题详解】
根据上一句“Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time.(足智多谋的意思是找到聪明和创造性的方法来解决问题，利用你目前所拥有的任何资源)”和下文“They can also be anything else that’s useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. （它们也可以是任何其他有用的东西，例如信息、建议或您自己的经验。）”上文提到可以使用拥有的任何资源，下文提到“也可以是其他有用的东西”可知，设空处需要第一次例举这些有用的东西。结合选项可知，选项F.They can be famous mottos that always inspire us to move on.(它们可以是激励我们继续前进的著名格言。)承上启下，符合题意；此处they和空后they指代相同。故选F。
【17题详解】
挖空处在段首，有可能是段落的主旨句。而后面“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”主要说的是“being resourceful”带来的好处， E选项意思就是resourcefulness 能带来很多好处。故选E。
【18题详解】
该段首句说的是“being resourceful”会对你有好处，前面两句“…it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions.(...它可以帮助我们建立信心，帮助我们感到更独立，在做决定时感觉更好)”及“Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.(足智多谋或许不能帮助你避免问题，但创造性地思考如何处理问题会让你感觉压力更小，下次准备更充分)”具体列举了“being resourceful”带来的好处，A选项：你还能知道你所擅长的是什么，对自己更加了解，也契合下一句“This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.这能提高自尊心。这是又一个好处，A项最符合语境。故选A。
19题详解】
该段在讨论遇到困难时，要专注于问题本身，并列出了具体的步骤。上一句“Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can.(接下来，想出尽可能多的方法来解决问题)”讲的是“尽可能多地想出一些解决措施”，G选项：然后衡量它们的好坏，选出最佳的一个，其中them指代上一句solutions，G项填到此处最合适。故选G。
【20题详解】
上一句“And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you’re unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.(记住，如果你有一个棘手的问题，你无法解决，然后向一个值得信任的成年人寻求帮助)”表示自己实在解决不了，你还可以求助其他人，D选项意为“没有人是被期望要独自解决所有问题的”，与上文意义一致。故填D。

作文
An Exciting Tug of War
In order to inspire students to pay more attention to physical exercise, an exciting tug of war was held in our school playground last Sunday.
The activity, organized by Students’ Union, attracted all Senior One students. Twenty teams tried their best to win, with the rest cheering all the way. The activity lasted about two hours and drew to a successful close.
Through the activity, we benefited a lot mentally and physically. Not only did it enrich our school life, but it let us further realize the importance of building up our body and working as a team.
读后续写
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “This time I’ll hold your finger and show you how much pressure to use. Guess what, it took me a while to get the hang of swiping.” added I. I held her finger gently and her face lit up when the menu appeared. “I want a selfie with you. Show me how to use the camera!” My heart sank a bit, but she didn’t need a lot of help and we sent her friend Emily a photo of us both laughing. “I can’t wait to show everyone my new phone,” she said happily. “Thank you for your patience, Tom.”
I was not feeling so hopeless any more now. Great-grandma’s spirit inspired me greatly. It occurred to me that if a 92-year-old lady could learn new skills, then so could I. I had no doubt that I would find something I liked even more. There must be a job out there for me somewhere and I was sure to find it. I headed for home with a smile on my face and a whole lot of love for my amazing great-grandmother. My great-grandmother would always be a role model for me to learn from.

W: Good evening, folks! I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that it's cold outside! Yes, winter really seems to be upon us(近在咫尺) now. That warm and sunny weather we had last week was very unusual for this time of year. Right now, it's only 1 degree, and tomorrow night it will be close to 1 degree below zero. We'll see a little snow on Friday afternoon, but this weekend, it is really supposed to come down! We're expecting nine to ten inches of snow on Saturday and Sunday, and that means even more snow in the mountains! Some reports show that we'll get four feet of snow on Mount Clementine by the end of the weekend. But it looks like things are just getting started because next week we're supposed to have snow every day except Wednesday, which, as you all know, is Christmas Eve. But don't worry! The forecast is showing that we'll have a white Christmas, so when you wake up on Thursday morning, you should have some beautiful scenery to enjoy with your family!
