Passage A
　　Rock climbing, one of the fastest growing sports, not only builds physical strength and mental focus, but also leads you to some beautiful places. Here are some climbing spots for climbers.
Acadia National Park, Maine
This popular New England park is one of the few places where you can climb seaside rocks. The granite(花岗岩)is good for climbing. In some areas, you need to start when the sea is at its lowest level. The area has guides, instructors and climbing schools, making it particularly welcoming for beginners.
More information:nps.gov/acad
Red River Gorge, Kentucky
This geological area in Daniel Boone National Forest is prized for its climbing routes and rock scenery. The park, located an hour's drive southeast of Lexington, is well known in the climbing world for both beginner friendly terrain(地形)and more challenging sections. It's a place where you can find a lot of fellow climbers.

City of Rocks, Idaho
This national reserve near the Utah border is worth a trip for the scenery alone. Named by gold miners heading to California in 1849, its granite looks like skyscrapers, towering 600 feet above the ground. It's a fascinating area from a geologic and geographic angle. Many visitors come for August's Idaho Mountain Festival, a celebration of climbing with top athletes in attendance.
More information:nps.gov/ciro
Earth Treks Englewood, Colorado

Passage B
On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we hadn't already known. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled little old lady beaming at me with pleasure.
She said, “Hi, boy. My name is Rose. I'm eighty seven years old. Can I give you a hug ” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” And she gave me a giant hug.
“Why are you in college at such an innocent young age ” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids...” “No, seriously,” I said, “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!” she told me.
We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon.
At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.There are secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets.”
At the end of the year, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years before. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Passage C
Johns Hopkins University researchers discovered precisely how spiders(蜘蛛)build webs in the dark. Their creation of a web building playbook brings new understanding of how creatures with small brains are able to create elegant and complex structures.
Web building spiders, which build blindly using only the sense of touch, have attracted humans for centuries. “The first step to understand that is to study the behaviors and skills involved,” said Andrew Gordus, a Johns Hopkins behavioral biologist. “But until now it has never been done, mainly because of the challenge of detecting and recording the actions.”
His team studied a spider native to the Western United States. To observe the spiders during their nighttime web building work, the lab designed a stage with infrared(红外线的)cameras and infrared lights. They monitored and recorded six spiders every night and tracked millions of individual leg actions. “Even if you record it, there are a lot of legs to track,”said lead author Abel Corver. “It's just too much to go through every frame(帧)and mark the leg points by hand so we trained machine vision software to detect the actions of the spider, frame by frame, so that we could record everything the legs did to build an entire web.”
They found that web making behaviors were so similar across spiders that the researchers were able to predict the part of a web a spider was working on just from seeing the position of the legs. “Even if the final structure is a little different, the rules they use to build the web are the same,” Gordus said, “which confirms the rules are in their brains.”
Future work for the lab includes experiments with drugs to determine which circuits(回路)in the spider's brain are responsible for the various stages of web building. Corver said, “The work could help us understand larger brain systems, including humans'.”
28.What was the challenge in the previous studies on spiders' web building
A.Testing spiders' brains. B.Tracking spiders' actions.
C.Observing spider webs at night. D.Improving spiders' sense of touch.
29.What is a crucial step in the study led by Gordus
A.Relying on the aid of special software. B.Monitoring the safety of spiders.
C.Comparing varieties of spider webs. D.Designing a set of infrared cameras.
30.What is contained in the future study according to Paragraph 5
A.The environment for humans. B.The behavior of various spiders.
C.The drug for brain diseases. D.The brain system of spiders.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Spiders, Elegant Creatures B.Small Brains, Amazing Skills
C.Spider Webs' Secrets Uncovered D.Spiders' Web building Ability Developed
Passage D
As the aging population gets bigger and dementia(痴呆) is more common, more families are struggling with a complex question: How do you support a loved one with dementia, especially when you have a full time job and several kids
Reg Urbanowski may have an answer to this pressing issue: ROBOTS. He and his team managed to develop a new type of robot named the TP robot. Looking like stand up vacuum cleaners attached to an iPad, they can be activated remotely via a smartphone and guided remotely by a controller app similar to the way a mouse is used on a desktop computer. All possess audio and visual communication capabilities, allowing the operator to be “in the room” to interact with Mom or Dad.
He believes that caregivers and family members can use a TP robot to “look in” on people with mild dementia. He says, “TP robots provide an effective solution for minimizing caregivers' burden, especially for those who have jobs or other out of home activities.”
Urbanowski and his team have conducted a study that involves providing TP robots for 15 Manitoba families. These robots are programmed to provide reminders of necessary daily routine like turning off the gas, taking medicine and having dinner. They will also help ensure that patients are getting the exercise they need to maintain their health and well being.
Erin Crawford, Program Director of the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, says she has faith that TP robots will prove beneficial, particularly when it comes to reminding people with dementia to do certain things at certain times. “It means that family members that can't be there, for whatever reason, know that those things are still happening,” she says.
32.What inspired Reg Urbanowski and his team to develop such robots
A.Solving a puzzle in society. B.Taking care of the elderly easier.
C.Helping aging people with dementia. D.Encouraging people they love and care for.
33.Which is a function of TP robots
A.They arrange dinners for users. B.They turn on the light for users.
C.They play games with users. D.They remind users to take exercise.
34.What's Erin Crawford's attitude to the future of TP robots
A.Objective. B.Critical. C.Optimistic. D.Cautious.
35.What does the passage mainly cover
A.The new characteristics of TP robots.
B.A new type of robot for dementia patients.
C.A practical way to relieve pain from dementia.
D.The application of TP robots in the medical community.
七选五
Going green is a great way to reduce your environmental footprint and help the planet. Being green is all about reducing how many resources you use, reusing items when you can, and recycling items that can't be reused. 　36　.
●Carry a reusable water bottle so you will not need bottled water.
　37　. Not only does it create trash, but it also uses more resources because it's shipped to the store. To be more eco friendly, make it a habit to carry a reusable water bottle with you everywhere so that you can drink water on the way. Plastic bottles are usually the lightest and most convenient.
●Use reusable bags while you're shopping.
Shopping bags make it easy to carry your items home, but they also pollute the planet. Skip the store's shopping bags and bring your own instead. Use a backpack that you already own, or purchase a couple of reusable bags from the checkout area at your local grocery store. 　38　.
●　39　.
Before you throw something away, look for ways you might reuse it. Try repurposing items or making green handicrafts. This will help you keep trash out of the landfill. For example, instead of throwing away a jar, you might use it as a drinking glass, vase or storage container.
●Reduce the amount of time you spend using electronics.
While electronics are really fun and help you feel connected to your friends, they also use up a lot of energy. Schedule breaks from your electronics so you can use them less. During your breaks, do something fun like going for a walk, playing a game with your friends, or pursuing a hobby. 　40　. For instance, instead of playing online video games together, go to a local part.
A.Glass bottles have come a long way in recent years
B.Reuse items to save them from the landfill
C.You can use your reusable bags at most stores
D.Bottled water is really bad for the environment
E.You probably need to change your personal habits
F.Invite your friend to connect with you in real life
G.You can find ideas for green crafts by searching online

Vertical gardening isn't new, but an example from India shows how this inventive technique is 　56　 (true) changing lives.
The Mehra family from Amritsar were locally hot news last June when they showed off the vertical garden 　57　 they had created at their home. The family used over 175,000 plastic bottles to create 　58　 garden, fixing the bottles to the outside walls of their home and filling them with 　59　 (variety) of plants. The plants are irrigated by 　60　 (use) a simple drip system(滴灌系统)and amazingly, this 　61　 (lower) the temperature of their home by nearly a cool five degrees Celsius so far.
The idea caught on quickly. Many local schools now have green vertical gardens on their walls, 　62　 so does Punjab Agricultural University, and even Ludhiana railway station, the first station in India 　63　 (adopt) this initiative. The railway notes that the plants not only cool the station, but also help absorb the noise, and seem to have a calming and anti littering effect 　64　 travelers. Moreover, every vertical garden created this way is recycling plastic which would otherwise be a pollutant, actively reducing local 　65　 (pollute).

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 续写词数150词左右。
Kareem sighed as he counted his money again. He was still short of fifty dollars to buy the latest Speedster X bike. In order to save his pocket money to replace his old bike, he had been packing sandwiches to school for the last three months.
“How can I get that fifty dollars ” he thought to himself. His mind was wondering when Mother's voice disturbed his thoughts. “Kareem, I just ran into Aunty Kim, our neighbour who just moved in next door. Her son, Shawn, will cycle to school next week. Could you show him the shortcut to school later It's Saturday anyway!” Hearing this, Kareem had no option but to obey it. He knew Mother had probably already volunteered his service to Aunty Kim. “Oh, here's a mail from your grandma. Open it!” added Mother.
Kareem's grandmother lived abroad and she would send him photos and cards. He opened the envelope and pulled out a greeting card. Incredibly, a fifty dollar note slipped out as well! Kareem was wild with joy. Waving the note in the air, he shouted happily, “Enough money for my bike!”
At 2 p.m. Kareem met Shawn as arranged by their mothers. The sooner he finished this task, the sooner he could go to the bike shop. While the boys were cycling, a squirrel (松鼠) appeared behind a parked car and dashed across the road so suddenly that the boys knocked into each other and fell down heavily. Kareem said regretfully, “I forgot to warn you about the squirrel population here.” As Kareem was lifting up his broken bike, Shawn cried anxiously, “Oh, my poor bike! It's completely broken.”
Watching Shawn carrying the broken bike home in silence, Kareem hurried to the bike shop for his dream bike. The sign “Half Price for Old Models” in the shop attracted his eyes.
Paragraph 1:“A Speedster X bike or two old models ”Kareem hesitated..
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:“Hi!” Kareem appeared at Shawn's door cheerfully and asked. “Want to ride together ”.

语法填空
　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文,介绍了垂直园艺在印度的应用及其起到的积极作用。
36.truly　考查副词。句意:垂直园艺并不新鲜,但印度的一个例子显示了这种有创意的技术是如何真正改变生活的。本空修饰is changing,故应用副词truly修饰。
37.that/which　考查定语从句。句意:去年6月,来自阿姆利则的Mehra一家炫耀了他们在家里建造的垂直花园,成为当地的热点新闻。本空引导定语从句,修饰先行词the vertical garden,本空在从句中作宾语,指物,故应用关系代词that或which。
38.the　考查冠词。句意:这个家庭用了超过17.5万个塑料瓶来建造这个花园,他们把塑料瓶固定在他们家的外墙上,并在里面种各种植物。空后名词garden前文已经提及,故本空应用定冠词the表示特指。
39.varieties　考查名词复数。句意同上题。varieties of意为“各种各样的”。
40.using　考查动名词。句意:这些植物是通过一个简单的滴灌系统被灌溉的,令人惊讶的是,到目前为止,这已经把他们家的温度降低了近5摄氏度。根据空前的介词by可知,本空应用动名词形式。
41.has lowered　考查时态。句意同上题。根据时间状语so far可知,本空应用现在完成时。
42.and　考查连词。句意:现在,许多当地学校的墙上都有绿色的垂直花园,旁遮普农业大学也是如此,甚至卢迪亚纳火车站——印度第一个采用这一举措的车站也是如此。本空前面为完整的句子,后面是“so+助动词+主语”结构,也相当于一个句子,且前后文文意为顺承关系,故本空应用并列连词and。
43.to adopt　考查不定式。句意同上题。本空在句中作定语,修饰名词station,根据station前的the first可知,本空应用不定式作后置定语。
44.on　考查介词。句意:铁路方面指出,这些植物不仅给车站降温,还有助于吸收噪音,似乎对旅客有镇静和防止乱扔垃圾的效果。have an effect on意为 “对……有效果”。
45.pollution　考查名词。句意:此外,每一个以这种方式建造的垂直花园都在回收否则会成为污染物的塑料,积极减少当地的污染。本空作reducing的宾语,根据空前的形容词local 可知,本空应用名词形式。
第三部分　写作
第一节
Dear Bob,
I'm sorry to say that I cannot go to the bookstore with you on Friday afternoon. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting that afternoon. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.
Shall we go on Saturday morning We can set out early so that we'll have more time to read and select books. If it's convenient for you, let's meet at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I should be available any time after school next week.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
“A Speedster X bike or two old models ” Kareem hesitated. He thought to himself, “Whatever happened was not my fault. I'm buying Speedster X anyway.” However, as the image of Shawn and his broken bike flashed through his mind repeatedly, he felt a shiver running down his body. An inner voice insisted that he should reach out a helping hand. Just at that moment, his initial guilt gave way to a sense of responsibility. After a quick mental calculation, he decided to buy two old models.
Paragraph 2:
“Hi!” Kareem appeared at Shawn's door cheerfully and asked. “Want to ride together ” Shawn got annoyed at the silly question. He moved his lips as if to say something but before he could say anything, Kareem took a stride to the side, revealing two shiny identical bikes magically. “What... How come No, it couldn't be...” Shawn beamed with excitement, tears clouding his eyes. Mother, who had witnessed the scene from the window, walked up to Kareem and patted his shoulder gently and playfully, “Son! I'm really proud of you.”
