When I first moved away from home to study, I started out living in student housing. We all had our own rooms, but every floor shared a kitchen and a common room. There was no supervision from family members, and we were expected to take care of ourselves. I had a neighbor who had, like most of us, just moved away from home. It was his first time on his own, and he felt unhappy.
We had to teach this poor boy EVERYTHING. It started with the mystery of why the plates in the cupboard were always greasy (有油渍的). It turned out that the boy didn’t know he had to use hot water to wash the dishes; he just washed them in cold water and put them back.
He spent the first six months complaining about how he was always running out of money. This was because he didn’t know how to cook. The rest of us lived on the usual student diet and treated ourselves to a pizza on weekends. However, he got fast food every single day. I could feed myself for a month on his weekly meal budget. Moreover, he had no idea how to wash clothes with a washing machine. I had to take him shopping for laundry detergent (洗衣粉) first because he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could just put ordinary soap in the washing machine.
To his credit, the boy was very grateful for the help and very depressed that no one had taught him how to do all these things before he moved out.
One day, the boy’s mother came to visit. He happily introduced all of us to his mother. After we graduated, I was invited to his wedding. He introduced me to his new wife as “the one who taught me how to be a man”.
4. What does the underlined word “supervision” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Difference. B. Guidance. C. Escape. D. Hope.
5. What can we learn about the boy
A. He lacked common sense in housework. B. He got married to the author.
C. He always washed dishes in hot water. D. He didn’t get along well with his mother.
6. Why did the boy always have money problems
A. He often cooked expensive meals. B. He bought himself a pizza every month.
C. He treated his neighbors on weekends. D. He didn’t know how to spend reasonably.
7. Which word best describes the relationship between the boy and the author
A. Worrying. B. Poor. C. Close. D. Disappointing.
C
As soon as Boran Bumovich Hignio’s bare feet touch the sand on the beach, he spreads his arms like a helicopter and happily says, “Let's go surfing!” The 7-year-old, wearing a black wetsuit, is followed by a dozen other kids who skip their way into the blue waves of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru's capital, Lima.
Boran gets help with his wetsuit from Diego Villarán, who founded the local surf school. This Peruvian surf school is part of a wave of community-based projects around the world that use a perhaps surprising method to help kids: surf therapy (疗法).
The idea is not only about catching waves to make use of the proven mental health benefits of physical exercise. The wider goal is to create a space for young children to express themselves freely, to help teach them how to process their emotions and to create positive social connections.
Lima's surf therapy project is run by Alto Peru, a local nonprofit named after the neighborhood in the south of the city where Villardn-its 41-year-old founder-and all of the trainee surfers come from. Many of the children in the Alto Peru program face challenging situations. Some parents are addicted to alcohol. One of the boys has even turned up for lessons with a black eye a couple of times.
Half of all mental health disorders begin before the age of 14 and up to a fifth of teenagers globally experience mental health conditions, according to the World Mental Health Survey Initiative, which conducted face-to-face interviews in 17 countries across Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
Surf therapy, which covers projects from Sierra Leone to California and Trinidad, is seen by advocates as a convincing solution to helping address mental health issues among young people. “It has changed my life,” says Omarion Butler, 19, who began surfing with Alto Peru two years ago. “When my parents put me down in the past, it was hard for me to express my feelings. But surfing makes me more confident. It helps me to take time for myself.”
8. What do we know about Boran from the first paragraph
A. He is good at flying a plane. B. He feels excited to go surfing.
C. He is having a physical education class. D. He enjoys the holiday with his family.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The origin of surf therapy. B. The tips for catching waves.
C. The purposes of surf therapy. D. The advice on relationships.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5
A. Add some background information. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. Introduce a new topic for discussion. D. Offer some suggestions to the readers.
11. What is Omarion Butler’s attitude to Alto Peru
A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
D
A tiny crack (裂缝) grew in a very small piece of metal when placed under repetitive stretching. The experiment, designed to study crack growth, continued as predicted for a while. But then, something unexpected happened. The crack stopped growing and instead began to get shorter, effectively “healing (愈合)” itself. This incredible observation was made by a group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories. The findings were recently published in the journal Nature.
It would be reasonable to think, prior to this discovery, that self-healing metal was something that could only be found in science fiction. However, Dr. Michael Demkowicz, a professor in Texas A&M University’s materials science and engineering department and co-author of the recent study, held no such assumptions.
Ten years ago, while an assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s materials science and engineering department, Demkowicz and his student predicted self-healing in metals. “We didn’t set out to find healing. My student, Guoxiang Xu, was doing experiments on fracture (断裂),” Demkowicz said. “We accidentally observed healing in one of his experiments and decided to follow up.” Then, just like now, the results in 2013 were surprising.
Both the 2013 models and the recent experiment used nanocrystalline (纳米晶体) metals, which make studying self-healing easier because their small grain size allows for more microstructural features that even small cracks can interact with. Demkowicz said that these features are common in many metals. One condition common to both the 2013 theory and the recent experiment is that both were conducted in vacuum environments without foreign matter. Such outside matter could influence crack surfaces’ ability to bond back together.
Even with this limitation, applications could still be possible for space faring technology or internal cracks that are not exposed to outside air. “The main impact of the current work is to move the original theoretical prediction off the drawing board and show that it occurs in reality,” Demkowicz said. Potential applications of this work could vary widely. Demkowicz suggests that self-healing could be possible in conventional metals with larger grain sizes, but future investigations will be needed.
12. What was the recent experiment aimed at
A Challenging a former mistaken theory. B. Learning about crack growth in metals.
C. Proving what happens in science fiction. D. Studying the uses of various metals.
13. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting ideas.
14. What is Demkowicz’s suggestion
A. Constantly changing the research environment.
B. Paying much attention to the original theories.
C. Learning drawing skills from different masters.
D. Further researching the metals with larger grain sizes.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Were Shocked by Self-Healing in Metals
B. Personal Achievements of Dr. Michael Demkowicz
C. The Latest Developments in Science and Technology
D. The New Applications of Metals Were Found by Scientists

Music is my first love. I can sit down at my electronic keyboard and forget all about time and space, all about my problems. During the lowest moments in my life, music was my savior. Besides, I would like to thank two volunteer organizations — one is America’s Veterans Services and the other is The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled.
I was a veteran (老兵). After I got out of the service, I began a career in music, and then became an ironworker for higher pay. A few years ago, the one-bedroom house I rented in Massachusetts was sold. The developer planned to tear it down. The property manager gave me two months rent-free to find a new place to live. It didn’t help because I’d been disabled from an accident at work and was living on benefits. Nothing affordable turned up.
With the help of two friends I silently and hopelessly packed up my belongings and moved everything — including my electronic keyboard — into storage. I slept in my car, thinking it wouldn’t last long. But weeks turned into months and the months into years. My car had become my home.
The one thing that kept me alive was music. I would lose myself in music. Although I had developed cataracts (白内障), nothing could keep my fingers from finding the right keys.
However, I hit my real low one Christmas Eve. I was driving down a narrow back road to where I would park my car and sleep at night. I turned right and accidentally ran into a wall. My car — my only home — lost its right front end.
At that point, I really had no place to live. Fortunately, Bruce Knight, a retired firefighter, heard about me. He drove me to a homeless shelter in York County where I stayed for 75 days. That’s where I met with case managers from Volunteers of America's Veterans Services. They helped me move into their housing, a place called Huot House. I was able to sign up for Veterans Administration benefits and get the cataract treatment I needed to recover my eyesight.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life.

When I first moved away from home to study, I started out living in student housing. We all had our own rooms, but every floor shared a kitchen and a common room. There was no supervision from family members, and we were expected to take care of ourselves. I had a neighbor who had, like most of us, just moved away from home. It was his first time on his own, and he felt unhappy.
We had to teach this poor boy EVERYTHING. It started with the mystery of why the plates in the cupboard were always greasy (有油渍的). It turned out that the boy didn’t know he had to use hot water to wash the dishes; he just washed them in cold water and put them back.
He spent the first six months complaining about how he was always running out of money. This was because he didn’t know how to cook. The rest of us lived on the usual student diet and treated ourselves to a pizza on weekends. However, he got fast food every single day. I could feed myself for a month on his weekly meal budget. Moreover, he had no idea how to wash clothes with a washing machine. I had to take him shopping for laundry detergent (洗衣粉) first because he didn’t know what it was. He thought he could just put ordinary soap in the washing machine.
To his credit, the boy was very grateful for the help and very depressed that no one had taught him how to do all these things before he moved out.
One day, the boy’s mother came to visit. He happily introduced all of us to his mother. After we graduated, I was invited to his wedding. He introduced me to his new wife as “the one who taught me how to be a man”.

As soon as Boran Bumovich Hignio’s bare feet touch the sand on the beach, he spreads his arms like a helicopter and happily says, “Let's go surfing!” The 7-year-old, wearing a black wetsuit, is followed by a dozen other kids who skip their way into the blue waves of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru's capital, Lima.
Boran gets help with his wetsuit from Diego Villarán, who founded the local surf school. This Peruvian surf school is part of a wave of community-based projects around the world that use a perhaps surprising method to help kids: surf therapy (疗法).
The idea is not only about catching waves to make use of the proven mental health benefits of physical exercise. The wider goal is to create a space for young children to express themselves freely, to help teach them how to process their emotions and to create positive social connections.
Lima's surf therapy project is run by Alto Peru, a local nonprofit named after the neighborhood in the south of the city where Villardn-its 41-year-old founder-and all of the trainee surfers come from. Many of the children in the Alto Peru program face challenging situations. Some parents are addicted to alcohol. One of the boys has even turned up for lessons with a black eye a couple of times.
Half of all mental health disorders begin before the age of 14 and up to a fifth of teenagers globally experience mental health conditions, according to the World Mental Health Survey Initiative, which conducted face-to-face interviews in 17 countries across Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe.
Surf therapy, which covers projects from Sierra Leone to California and Trinidad, is seen by advocates as a convincing solution to helping address mental health issues among young people. “It has changed my life,” says Omarion Butler, 19, who began surfing with Alto Peru two years ago. “When my parents put me down in the past, it was hard for me to express my feelings. But surfing makes me more confident. It helps me to take time for myself.”
8. What do we know about Boran from the first paragraph
A. He is good at flying a plane. B. He feels excited to go surfing.
C. He is having a physical education class. D. He enjoys the holiday with his family.
9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The origin of surf therapy. B. The tips for catching waves.
C. The purposes of surf therapy. D. The advice on relationships.
10. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 5

A tiny crack (裂缝) grew in a very small piece of metal when placed under repetitive stretching. The experiment, designed to study crack growth, continued as predicted for a while. But then, something unexpected happened. The crack stopped growing and instead began to get shorter, effectively “healing (愈合)” itself. This incredible observation was made by a group of researchers at Sandia National Laboratories. The findings were recently published in the journal Nature.
It would be reasonable to think, prior to this discovery, that self-healing metal was something that could only be found in science fiction. However, Dr. Michael Demkowicz, a professor in Texas A&M University’s materials science and engineering department and co-author of the recent study, held no such assumptions.
Ten years ago, while an assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s materials science and engineering department, Demkowicz and his student predicted self-healing in metals. “We didn’t set out to find healing. My student, Guoxiang Xu, was doing experiments on fracture (断裂),” Demkowicz said. “We accidentally observed healing in one of his experiments and decided to follow up.” Then, just like now, the results in 2013 were surprising.
Both the 2013 models and the recent experiment used nanocrystalline (纳米晶体) metals, which make studying self-healing easier because their small grain size allows for more microstructural features that even small cracks can interact with. Demkowicz said that these features are common in many metals. One condition common to both the 2013 theory and the recent experiment is that both were conducted in vacuum environments without foreign matter. Such outside matter could influence crack surfaces’ ability to bond back together.
Even with this limitation, applications could still be possible for space faring technology or internal cracks that are not exposed to outside air. “The main impact of the current work is to move the original theoretical prediction off the drawing board and show that it occurs in reality,” Demkowicz said. Potential applications of this work could vary widely. Demkowicz suggests that self-healing could be possible in conventional metals with larger grain sizes, but future investigations will be needed.
12. What was the recent experiment aimed at
A. Challenging a former mistaken theory. B. Learning about crack growth in metals.
C. Proving what happens in science fiction. D. Studying the uses of various metals.
13. How does the author develop the fourth paragraph
A. By listing examples. B. By analyzing causes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By presenting ideas.
14. What is Demkowicz’s suggestion
A. Constantly changing the research environment.
B. Paying much attention to the original theories.
C. Learning drawing skills from different masters.
D. Further researching the metals with larger grain sizes.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Scientists Were Shocked by Self-Healing in Metals
B. Personal Achievements of Dr. Michael Demkowicz
C. The Latest Developments in Science and Technology
D. The New Applications of Metals Were Found by Scientists

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。
Music is my first love. I can sit down at my electronic keyboard and forget all about time and space, all about my problems. During the lowest moments in my life, music was my savior. Besides, I would like to thank two volunteer organizations — one is America’s Veterans Services and the other is The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled.
I was a veteran (老兵). After I got out of the service, I began a career in music, and then became an ironworker for higher pay. A few years ago, the one-bedroom house I rented in Massachusetts was sold. The developer planned to tear it down. The property manager gave me two months rent-free to find a new place to live. It didn’t help because I’d been disabled from an accident at work and was living on benefits. Nothing affordable turned up.
With the help of two friends, I silently and hopelessly packed up my belongings and moved everything — including my electronic keyboard — into storage. I slept in my car, thinking it wouldn’t last long. But weeks turned into months and the months into years. My car had become my home.
The one thing that kept me alive was music. I would lose myself in music. Although I had developed cataracts (白内障), nothing could keep my fingers from finding the right keys.
However, I hit my real low one Christmas Eve. I was driving down a narrow back road to where I would park my car and sleep at night. I turned right and accidentally ran into a wall. My car — my only home — lost its right front end.
At that point, I really had no place to live. Fortunately, Bruce Knight, a retired firefighter, heard about me. He drove me to a homeless shelter in York County where I stayed for 75 days. That’s where I met with case managers from Volunteers of America's Veterans Services. They helped me move into their housing, a place called Huot House. I was able to sign up for Veterans Administration benefits and get the cataract treatment I needed to recover my eyesight.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I went to volunteer for the “Day of Caring” held by The Paul Hazelton House.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Ken Darby, manager of Huot House, told me to move toward life. One of the first things I did when I got settled was get my electronic keyboard out of storage and set it up in the TV room at Huot House. I’d play for hours, totally lost in the music. After listening to the music I played, Ken told me about The Paul Hazelton House for seniors and the disabled, where a “Day of Caring” was held every year.
I went to volunteer for the “Day of Caring” held by The Paul Hazelton House. I played several songs for the seniors and disabled there. Music, the universal medium that had helped me, was also a joy to others. People gathered around my electronic keyboard, clapping and singing. As I played the music, I thought back to what I had experienced. I realized how blessed I’d been that people had stepped up and helped me when I couldn’t see how to help myself. They took me in, encouraged me to make music and put me back on the right path.
