Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL(美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he’d faced on a football field：sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he’d played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn’t make sense—why would you leave an awesome NFL career ” he says.
But Brown wasn’t going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn’t feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me;it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn’t know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today—watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farmer that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014，the first harvest was ready.Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get food that doesn’t just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.
4. What did most people think of Brown’s decision to retire from the NFL
A. They weren’t satisfied with it.
B. They couldn’t understand it.
C. They were worried about it.
D They disapproved of it.
5 What does the underlined word “radical” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Easy. B. Slow. C. Great. D. Careful.
6. How did Brown learn to grow food
A. From books.
B. From the Internet.
C. By practicing on a local farm.
D. By attending beginner training classes.
7. Which of the following can best describe Brown
A. Brave and generous.
B. Proud and determined.
C. Ambitious and sensitive.
D. Considerate and optimistic.
C
Little boys don’t like reading any more and even little girls don’t enjoy it as much as they once did. This is the accepted wisdom inside the book industry —and in many British families, too. Parents and booksellers tend to blame the growing appeal of online entertainment and handheld games, but research from the US is challenging these assumptions.
Michael Norris, an American publishing expert, will release findings in the monthly Book Publishing Report which show that, despite the best intentions, it is well-meaning mothers and fathers who often stop their sons and daughters from picking up the reading habit.
“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their children are going to read,” said Norris. “It is turning children off.”
The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American book-sellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.
One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a bookseller, while parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. “Even if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will not be the same answer they would give alone,” said Norris.
Norris’s another tip for parents is that they do not attempt to limit books to one age range. ”What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too young or too old for a child. If a book has caught their attention, then let them take it.“ Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.
8. What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading
A. Children’s interest in handheld games. B. The declining market of the book industry.
C. Parents influence on children’s book selection. D. The growing popularity of online entertainment.
9. What do we learn about the new study
A. It’s published to improve book sales. B. It mainly focuses on British families.
C. It involves many years’ efforts. D. It was conducted by Norris.
10. What should parents do to help kids get their favourite books at bookstores
A. Introduce new books regularly. B. Let them talk with booksellers alone.
C. Discuss popular books with children. D. Often seek expert advice from booksellers.
11. What did Norris think of his father’s act
A. It was totally wrong. B. It was quite necessary.
C. It aroused his interest in reading. D. It showed parents’ worries about kids.
D
While it may sound like something that has crawled out of your nightmares, cyborg cockroaches (蟑螂) have arrived as friends rather than foes. Scientists have designed a new remote controlled insect, equipped with a battery “backpack” that is powered by solar panels.
The cockroach, which is part insect and part machine, is intended to enter dangerous areas, monitor the environment or undertake search and rescue missions without being recharged. The researchers had to install some components into a tiny pack to allow for the cockroach’s natural movements.
The cockroaches are still alive, but sensory organs attached to the end of their bodies send electrical impulses that cause the insect to move right or left. A battery is necessary for the sending and receiving of these electrical signals, which needs to be charged up. While it’s possible to build docking stations for recharging the battery, they need to return and it could disrupt time-sensitive missions. To solve the tough problem, the team wanted to create a more practical version that does not need to return to a docking station when it runs out of power.
Therefore, they designed an on-board solar cell that could continuously ensure that the cockroach stays charged while it works. However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available for all the components necessary to move its legs and keep it powered. The solution was to design a special “backpack” that could neatly carry both the wireless leg-control module and rechargeable battery. This was attached to the top of the insect on its front, and was 3D printed to fit perfectly to the curved surface of cockroach. It allowed for this electronic device to be stably fixed on the insect for over a month, while leaving enough space to implant the solar panel.
Famously able to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches have been the inspiration for a number of technologies in recent years. Different teams of scientists have designed remote-controlled robo-bugs that can climb walls, carry objects and find humans during search-and-rescue missions.
12. What is a cyborg cockroach
A. A tiny backpack with a solar panel. B. A robot working as a power station.
C. A kind of bug discovered by scientists. D. An insect remote-controlled by humans.
13. What is a big challenge to create cyborg cockroaches
A. The components are too small. B. Recharging can delay urgent tasks.
C. Sending electrical impulses is dangerous. D. Their organs can’t receive signals timely.
14. What do we know about the cyborg cockroaches in paragraph 4
A. The special backpack is fixed on their legs. B. 3D printing solves all problems perfectly.
C They have a limited surface to store power. D. They can still get charged while working.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. A Solar Powered Cockroach B. The Future of Rescue Mission
C. New Recharged Solar Panels D. Cockroaches’ Special Backpack

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。
When I was in Grade 10, my family had a tough time. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were second-hand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
New Year was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for New Year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of gloves. I knew exactly which gloves I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I hurried up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies. I knew then that we would have no delicious food for New Year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel bewildered. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of gloves while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The bus drove off without me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor.

Football star Jason Brown retired abruptly from the NFL(美国国家橄榄球大联盟) in 2012 in order to deal with something bigger than anything he’d faced on a football field：sweet potatoes.
Brown，then 29，moved with his wife，Tay，and their children from Missouri，where he’d played with the St.Louis Rams，back home to North Carolina，where he bought 1,000 acres in Louisburg.Overnight，he went from a football star to a family farmer.“For most people，it doesn’t make sense—why would you leave an awesome NFL career ” he says.
But Brown wasn’t going to become just any farmer.He would give away nearly everything he grew.“I didn’t feel I was just supposed to use my millions to buy food and donate it.I had to be out there doing the work and leading the way，” he says.
This radical step came to him one day when he was struck by a feeling that he had a purpose beyond sports.“Farming chose me;it was my calling in life，” he says.
Only one problem：Jason didn’t know the first thing about farming.So he did what all beginners do today—watched videos on the Internet.Then he partnered with another local farmer that helped him plant fields of sweet potatoes.He named his land First Fruits Farm.
In the early fall of 2014，the first harvest was ready.Fifty pickup trucks arrived at the farm and loaded up 120,000 pounds to distribute locally.In 2015，First Fruits Farm expanded its sweet potato donations to food banks across eastern North Carolina.
Jason uses his unusual story to show local youth what it takes to grow food from start to finish.“They get food that doesn’t just magically appear in the grocery store or restaurants，” he says.
4. What did most people think of Brown’s decision to retire from the NFL
A. They weren’t satisfied with it.
B. They couldn’t understand it.
C. They were worried about it.
D. They disapproved of it.
5. What does the underlined word “radical” in Paragraph 4 mean

Little boys don’t like reading any more and even little girls don’t enjoy it as much as they once did. This is the accepted wisdom inside the book industry —and in many British families, too. Parents and booksellers tend to blame the growing appeal of online entertainment and handheld games, but research from the US is challenging these assumptions.
Michael Norris, an American publishing expert, will release findings in the monthly Book Publishing Report which show that, despite the best intentions, it is well-meaning mothers and fathers who often stop their sons and daughters from picking up the reading habit.
“Parents have too much of a role in deciding which books their children are going to read,” said Norris. “It is turning children off.”
The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American book-sellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.
One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a bookseller, while parents stand well back. Parents should allow children to choose their own reading material. “Even if a mother or father is just standing with the child when the bookseller asks them what they like to read, we have found that the child will give an answer they think their parent wants to hear. It will not be the same answer they would give alone,” said Norris.
Norris’s another tip for parents is that they do not attempt to limit books to one age range. ”What we have found is that parents should not worry whether a title looks too young or too old for a child. If a book has caught their attention, then let them take it.“ Children, added Norris, often enjoy reading books that are easy for them to understand. “My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.
8. What did Norris think prevents children from enjoying reading
A. Children’s interest in handheld games. B. The declining market of the book industry.
C. Parents influence on children’s book selection. D. The growing popularity of online entertainment.
9. What do we learn about the new study
A. It’s published to improve book sales. B. It mainly focuses on British families.
C. It involves many years’ efforts. D. It was conducted by Norris.
10. What should parents do to help kids get their favourite books at bookstores
A. Introduce new books regularly. B. Let them talk with booksellers alone.
C. Discuss popular books with children. D. Often seek expert advice from booksellers.
11. What did Norris think of his father’s act
A. It was totally wrong. B. It was quite necessary.
C. It aroused his interest in reading. D. It showed parents’ worries about kids.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】

细节理解超。根据第四段“The results of a number of surveys Norris has carried out with hundreds of American book-sellers over the past year have provided the basis for a series of tips for parents designed to help children find enjoyment in books.(诺里斯在过去一年中对数百家美国书商进行了多次调查，结果为父母提供了一系列建议，旨在帮助孩子们在书中找到乐趣)”可知，这项研究是诺里斯主导的。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“One of his tips is to make sure children talk directly to a librarian or a bookseller, while parents stand well back.(他的建议之一是确保孩子直接与图书管理员或书商交谈，而父母则站在后面)”可知，父母应让孩子单独与书商谈，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判新题。根据最后一段中““My father made me read The Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy when I was much too young and I have never read another Clancy since,” said Norris.(诺里斯说：“在我还很小的时候，父亲就让我读汤姆·克兰西的《寻找红色十月》，从那以后我再也没有读过克兰西的书。”)”可知，诺里新认为他父亲的行为是错误的。故选A。

While it may sound like something that has crawled out of your nightmares, cyborg cockroaches (蟑螂) have arrived as friends rather than foes. Scientists have designed a new remote controlled insect, equipped with a battery “backpack” that is powered by solar panels.
The cockroach, which is part insect and part machine, is intended to enter dangerous areas, monitor the environment or undertake search and rescue missions without being recharged. The researchers had to install some components into a tiny pack to allow for the cockroach’s natural movements.
The cockroaches are still alive, but sensory organs attached to the end of their bodies send electrical impulses that cause the insect to move right or left. A battery is necessary for the sending and receiving of these electrical signals, which needs to be charged up. While it’s possible to build docking stations for recharging the battery, they need to return and it could disrupt time-sensitive missions. To solve the tough problem, the team wanted to create a more practical version that does not need to return to a docking station when it runs out of power.
Therefore, they designed an on-board solar cell that could continuously ensure that the cockroach stays charged while it works. However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available for all the components necessary to move its legs and keep it powered. The solution was to design a special “backpack” that could neatly carry both the wireless leg-control module and rechargeable battery. This was attached to the top of the insect on its front, and was 3D printed to fit perfectly to the curved surface of cockroach. It allowed for this electronic device to be stably fixed on the insect for over a month, while leaving enough space to implant the solar panel.
Famously able to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches have been the inspiration for a number of technologies in recent years. Different teams of scientists have designed remote-controlled robo-bugs that can climb walls, carry objects and find humans during search-and-rescue missions.
12. What is a cyborg cockroach
A. A tiny backpack with a solar panel. B. A robot working as a power station.
C. A kind of bug discovered by scientists. D. An insect remote-controlled by humans.
13. What is a big challenge to create cyborg cockroaches
A. The components are too small. B. Recharging can delay urgent tasks.
C. Sending electrical impulses is dangerous. D. Their organs can’t receive signals timely.
14. What do we know about the cyborg cockroaches in paragraph 4
A. The special backpack is fixed on their legs. B. 3D printing solves all problems perfectly.
C. They have a limited surface to store power. D. They can still get charged while working.
15. What is the best title of the passage
A. A Solar Powered Cockroach B. The Future of Rescue Mission
C. New Recharged Solar Panels D. Cockroaches’ Special Backpack
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

You have to regularly tidy and sort out all the stuff in your room. (考虑一下这个简单的规则：如果你不使用超过6个月的东西，扔掉它。你必须定期整理和清理房间里的所有东西)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出整理的想法也不坏，故C选项“但偶尔整理一下也不是个坏主意”符合语境，故选C。

【43题详解】
考查介词。句意：你应该在适当的时候多吃含碳水化合物和富含蛋白质的食物。be rich in意为“富含”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用介词in。故填in。
【44题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：最后但并非最不重要的是，一定要穿合适的衣服和装备，以避免伤害自己。此处为祈使句句式，所以省略的主语为you，应用反身代词yourself或yourselves作宾语。故填yourself或yourselves。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：一开始你应该进行小而缓慢的运动，然后逐渐进行更大的运动。此处修饰动词take，应用副词gradually“逐渐地”，作状语。故填gradually。

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。
When I was in Grade 10, my family had a tough time. My parents lost their jobs during the Depression. Dad was too ill to work outside, while mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community. We relied on our community assistance to keep us clothed, and although our clothes were second-hand, we thought they were beautiful.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through for sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because our shoes were worn out. Constant moving was typical for my family in these times. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained.
New Year was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five dollar fund for social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for New Year.
Unknown to Mum, I had been shoveling snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of gloves. I knew exactly which gloves I wanted. They were made of genuine leather and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. Well, the big day came on the last day of that year. I was very excited, as I hurried up to catch the bus. It was only a half-a-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with lights and decorations. It was then that I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for goodies. I knew then that we would have no delicious food for New Year, and I felt sad.
As I continued walking, I began to feel bewildered. I was sixteen years old, and I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of gloves while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents.
注意：

The bus drove off without me.

When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The bus drove off without me. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. I went into the store and bought a turkey, ham, oranges and other goodies. I spent every dollar of my hard-earned money. The owner of the grocery store said, “Girl, the groceries have packed up like a mountain, and you can’t carry them home by yourself. So I asked two boys with carriers on their bicycles to run them the half-mile down to my house. With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door.
When Mum opened the door, she surprisingly found that some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor. Holding back the tears I whispered “Happy New Year! A big surprise!” “Can you tell me what happened ” Mum was so excited that she cried out. I had a lot of explanation as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum. Even though I failed to get a new pair of gloves, the smile on Mum’s face made it all worthwhile. It was an unforgettable New Year for us after all!
