As Teachers’ Day approached, I received an interview assignment to talk with a very special figure about teaching. President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam talked with me about life’s toughest lessons and his mission of being a teacher to the Indian youth. He was now a leader and a wise old man. There was still a child in him though, and he was still curious about learning new things. To this day, he still remembered his first lesson in life and how it had changed his life.
“I was studying in fifth grade and must have been 10 years old. My teacher, Sri Sivasubramanialyer was telling us how birds flew. He drew a diagram of a bird on the blackboard, drawing the wings, the tail, the body and the head and then explained how birds flew into the sky. At the end of the class, I said I didn’t understand. Then he asked the other students if they had understood, but nobody had understood how birds flew.” he recalled.
“That evening, the entire class was taken to Rameshwaram shore by our teacher,” the President continued. “My teacher showed us sea birds. We saw wonderful formations of them flying and how their wings waved. Then my teacher asked us, ‘Where is the bird’s engine and how is it powered ’ I knew then that birds are powered by their own life and motivation. I understood all about birds’ dynamics. At last, he said to us with relief that we were very good.”
“That day from not understanding to the final understanding, as well as the gratitude to the teacher, has always impressed me. A proper education would help develop a sense of dignity (尊严) and self-respect among our youth,” said President Kalam.
4. What does the author probably do
A. A reporter. B. A president. C. A teacher. D. A painter.
5. What can we infer from the recalled lesson
A. It was a drawing class. B. The teacher’s diagram was not complete.
C. What the teacher taught was quite difficult. D. The students were too stupid to understand it.
6. How did the teacher deal with the confused children
A. By asking other teachers for help. B. By taking them to see the real birds.
C. By bringing a bird to explain again. D. By drawing another diagram for them.
7. How did Kalam feel about his teacher
A. Disappointed. B. Stressed. C. Angry. D. Grateful.

Since childhood, London-based artist Josh Gluckstein has been fascinated by the incredible diversity of our planet’s wildlife and inspired to make sculptures of animals from found materials. He often uses abandoned or recycled materials like clothing from junk shops or wood from old furniture. An important aspect of his practice is concern for the environment. “I have traveled through Asia, Latin America and East Africa, and have been fortunate enough to have some incredible wildlife encounters,” he says. “However, on my travels, even in the most remote locations, I was shocked by the huge amounts of plastic waste.”
Mach of the garbage that washes up on shorelines around the world is due to an unregulated (未受监管的) system in which richer countries export waste to developing countries because it is often cheaper than developing better infrastructures (基础设施) to handle it. Many of the thousands of shipping containers exported each year are often dumped illegally.
“I remember going to the Galapagos Islands and visiting a beach famous for a large population of sea lions. It was indeed incredible to see them in the wild, but on every inch of sand not covered by sea lions, there were plastic bottles and cans. It was a heartbreaking sight. I knew I wanted to create artworks that didn’t create waste or harm our planet,” Gluckstein says.
Gluckstein hopes his works will raise people’s awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species. His new series called “Gold” focuses on illegally hunted animals by applying gold leaves to their bodies. He plans to donate some of the sales of his sculptures to the world Wide Fund for Nature.
8. What do Gluckstein’s sculptures focus on
A. Fashion. B. Animals. C. Sports. D. Travel.
9. What does the underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Poured, B. Protected. C. Sold. D. Used.
10. What does Gluckstein mainly want to say in paragraph 3
A. Where he has toured. B. How sad he was.
C. How he found sea lions. D. Why he created eco-friendly sculptures.
11 What does Gluckstein expect of his works
A. They can bring him financial benefits.
B. They can make him famous as an artist.
C. They can help protect endangered animals.
D. They can improve people’s ability to appreciate art.

A man with advanced Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏症) is now able to walk almost normally again thanks to electrodes implanted (电极植入) in his spinal cord (脊椎), researchers said on Monday. The medical first was achieved by Swiss researchers who had previously pioneered similar breakthroughs to help disabled people walk again.
“This could be a game-changing technology to help bring back movement in people with advanced Parkinson’s,” said David Dexter, research director at Parkinson’s UK.
Marc Gauthier, the 62-year-old patient who lives in France, has suffered from the brain disorder for about 30 years. Like more than 90 percent of people with advanced Parkinson’s, Mar c has had great difficulty walking. What are known as “freezing” experiences — during which patients are unable to move for a limited time, putting them at risk of falling — are particularly awful, Marc told AFP.
Much remains unknown about Parkinson’s disease, making treatment difficult. But the disease can seriously affect the lives of patients, sometimes keeping them to bed or a wheelchair. So when the opportunity came to go through an operation in Switzerland, Marc gladly accepted the chance.
“Now I can do whatever I want,” Marc says. “I can go for a walk and go out shopping by myself.” He adds that he can now walk much more easily — he is even planning a trip to Brazil — but it still requires concentration, particularly when climbing upstairs.
The Swiss team, led by surgeon Jocelyne Bloch and neuroscientist Gregoire Courtine , implanted a complex system of electrodes called a “neuroprosthesis (神经假体)” at important points along Marc’s spinal cord. The neuroprosthesis was first tested on animals, and then implanted in Marc, who has used it for roughly eight hours a day over nearly two years.
The Swiss team has expanded their experiment to a group of six Parkinson’s patients aiming to know how it could help others, given the disease affects people in different ways. However, treatment using the implant could be quite expensive, potentially limiting how many patients would have access.
12 What is David Dexter’s attitude to the Swiss breakthrough
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
13. What can Marc do after the surgery
A. Volunteer as a tour guide in Brazil. B. Run to his heart’s content.
C. Go to the supermarket alone. D. Make a phone call while climbing the stairs.
14. What do we know about the surgery
A. It was first tested on Marc Gauthier. B. It is hardly affordable for ordinary people.
C. It has been performed on many patients. D. It was done by researchers in the UK.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A Spinal Implant Allows a Parkinson’s Patient to Walk Again
B. Parkinson’s Patients Have to Deal With Difficulties in Life
C. Swiss Experts Have Created a Drug to Treat Parkinson’s
D. New Technology Prevents People From Developing Parkinson’s

Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.
注意：1. 续写词数应150个左右；

The trader carried huge bags of garlic and took on the journey to the country without garlic.

The trader was very excited and made several tasty dishes using garlic.

Abdul Kalam talked with me about life’s toughest lessons and his mission of being a teacher to the Indian youth. He was now a leader and a wise old man. There was still a child in him though, and he was still curious about learning new things. To this day, he still remembered his first lesson in life and how it had changed his life.
“I was studying in fifth grade and must have been 10 years old. My teacher, Sri Sivasubramanialyer was telling us how birds flew. He drew a diagram of a bird on the blackboard, drawing the wings, the tail, the body and the head and then explained how birds flew into the sky. At the end of the class, I said I didn’t understand. Then he asked the other students if they had understood, but nobody had understood how birds flew.” he recalled.
“That evening, the entire class was taken to Rameshwaram shore by our teacher,” the President continued. “My teacher showed us sea birds. We saw wonderful formations of them flying and how their wings waved. Then my teacher asked us, ‘Where is the bird’s engine and how is it powered ’ I knew then that birds are powered by their own life and motivation. I understood all about birds’ dynamics. At last, he said to us with relief that we were very good.”
“That day from not understanding to the final understanding, as well as the gratitude to the teacher, has always impressed me. A proper education would help develop a sense of dignity (尊严) and self-respect among our youth,” said President Kalam.

Since childhood, London-based artist Josh Gluckstein has been fascinated by the incredible diversity of our planet’s wildlife and inspired to make sculptures of animals from found materials. He often uses abandoned or recycled materials like clothing from junk shops or wood from old furniture. An important aspect of his practice is concern for the environment. “I have traveled through Asia, Latin America and East Africa, and have been fortunate enough to have some incredible wildlife encounters,” he says. “However, on my travels, even in the most remote locations, I was shocked by the huge amounts of plastic waste.”
Mach of the garbage that washes up on shorelines around the world is due to an unregulated (未受监管的) system in which richer countries export waste to developing countries because it is often cheaper than developing better infrastructures (基础设施) to handle it. Many of the thousands of shipping containers exported each year are often dumped illegally.
“I remember going to the Galapagos Islands and visiting a beach famous for a large population of sea lions. It was indeed incredible to see them in the wild, but on every inch of sand not covered by sea lions, there were plastic bottles and cans. It was a heartbreaking sight. I knew I wanted to create artworks that didn’t create waste or harm our planet,” Gluckstein says.
Gluckstein hopes his works will raise people’s awareness about the importance of protecting endangered species. His new series called “Gold” focuses on illegally hunted animals by applying gold leaves to their bodies. He plans to donate some of the sales of his sculptures to the world Wide Fund for Nature.
8. What do Gluckstein’s sculptures focus on
A. Fashion. B. Animals. C. Sports. D. Travel.
9. What does the underlined word “dumped” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Poured, B. Protected. C. Sold. D. Used.
10. What does Gluckstein mainly want to say in paragraph 3
A. Where he has toured. B. How sad he was.
C. How he found sea lions. D. Why he created eco-friendly sculptures.
11. What does Gluckstein expect of his works
A. They can bring him financial benefits.
B They can make him famous as an artist.
C. They can help protect endangered animals.
D. They can improve people’s ability to appreciate art.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C

A man with advanced Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏症) is now able to walk almost normally again thanks to electrodes implanted (电极植入) in his spinal cord (脊椎), researchers said on Monday. The medical first was achieved by Swiss researchers who had previously pioneered similar breakthroughs to help disabled people walk again.
“This could be a game-changing technology to help bring back movement in people with advanced Parkinson’s,” said David Dexter, research director at Parkinson’s UK.
Marc Gauthier, the 62-year-old patient who lives in France, has suffered from the brain disorder for about 30 years. Like more than 90 percent of people with advanced Parkinson’s, Mar c has had great difficulty walking. What are known as “freezing” experiences — during which patients are unable to move for a limited time, putting them at risk of falling — are particularly awful, Marc told AFP.
Much remains unknown about Parkinson’s disease, making treatment difficult. But the disease can seriously affect the lives of patients, sometimes keeping them to bed or a wheelchair. So when the opportunity came to go through an operation in Switzerland, Marc gladly accepted the chance.
“Now I can do whatever I want,” Marc says. “I can go for a walk and go out shopping by myself.” He adds that he can now walk much more easily — he is even planning a trip to Brazil — but it still requires concentration, particularly when climbing upstairs.
The Swiss team, led by surgeon Jocelyne Bloch and neuroscientist Gregoire Courtine , implanted a complex system of electrodes called a “neuroprosthesis (神经假体)” at important points along Marc’s spinal cord. The neuroprosthesis was first tested on animals, and then implanted in Marc, who has used it for roughly eight hours a day over nearly two years.
The Swiss team has expanded their experiment to a group of six Parkinson’s patients, aiming to know how it could help others, given the disease affects people in different ways. However, treatment using the implant could be quite expensive, potentially limiting how many patients would have access.
12. What is David Dexter’s attitude to the Swiss breakthrough
A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Unclear.
13. What can Marc do after the surgery
A. Volunteer as a tour guide in Brazil. B. Run to his heart’s content.
C. Go to the supermarket alone. D. Make a phone call while climbing the stairs.
14. What do we know about the surgery
A. It was first tested on Marc Gauthier. B. It is hardly affordable for ordinary people.
C. It has been performed on many patients. D. It was done by researchers in the UK.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A Spinal Implant Allows a Parkinson’s Patient to Walk Again
B. Parkinson’s Patients Have to Deal With Difficulties in Life
C. Swiss Experts Have Created a Drug to Treat Parkinson’s
D. New Technology Prevents People From Developing Parkinson’s
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，文章主要讲述一名患有晚期帕金森氏症的男子在脊椎中植入了电极后几乎能够正常行走。

推理判断题。根据第二段““This could be a game-changing technology to help bring back movement in people with advanced Parkinson’s,” said David Dexter, research director at Parkinson’s UK. (‘这可能是一项具有变革性的技术，可以帮助晚期帕金森氏症患者恢复运动，’英国帕金森氏症研究主任David Dexter说。)”可知，David Dexter对瑞士研究人员的突破是持肯定态度。 故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“So when the opportunity came to go through an operation in Switzerland, Marc gladly accepted the chance. (所以当有机会去瑞士做手术时，马克欣然接受了这个机会。)”以及第五段““Now I can do whatever I want,” Marc says. “I can go for a walk and go out shopping by myself.” He adds that he can now walk much more easily — he is even planning a trip to Brazil — but it still requires concentration, particularly when climbing upstairs. (‘现在我想做什么就做什么，’马克说。‘我可以自己去散步和购物。’他补充说，他现在走路容易多了——他甚至计划去巴西旅行——但仍然需要集中注意力，尤其是在爬上楼的时候。)”可知，Marc在手术后能够独自去散步和购物，C选项“Go to the supermarket alone.(一个人去超市)”正确。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, treatment using the implant could be quite expensive, potentially limiting how many patients would have access. (然而，使用植入物的治疗可能相当昂贵，潜在地限制了有机会获得治疗的患者数量。)”可知，这种治疗方法非常昂贵，一般人很难负担得起这项手术。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A man with advanced Parkinson’s disease (帕金森氏症) is now able to walk almost normally again thanks to electrodes implanted (电极植入) in his spinal cord (脊椎), researchers said on Monday. The medical first was achieved by Swiss researchers who had previously pioneered similar breakthroughs to help disabled people walk again. (研究人员周一表示，一名患有晚期帕金森氏症的男子现在几乎可以正常行走了，这要归功于在他的脊椎植入电极。瑞士研究人员在医学上率先实现了这一突破，此前他们曾在帮助残疾人重新行走方面取得了类似的突破。)”可知，本文主要讲的是脊椎电子植入使帕金森病患者能够再次行走。A选项“A Spinal Implant Allows a Parkinson’s Patient to Walk Again(一种脊椎植入让帕金森患者重新行走)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。

【答案】One possible version:
A First Aid Experience
Last Sunday Tom’s left foot got injured on our way to climbing a hill and he was in desperate need of help. Facing it, I dialed 120 without delay and performed first aid before the doctors came instead of getting into a panic. Having put his left foot in a comfortable position, I rushed to a shop to buy bags of ice, carefully applying the ice to the swelling to ease the pain. Eventually, I wrapped the injury loosely with a clean and dry bandage. Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Tom to the hospital.
Only then was I aware of what a difference a basic knowledge of first aid could make, especially in such a case.

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。
Once upon a time, there lived a young man who wished he could support himself. While exploring what business he would take on, he met a very well-traveled man. The man told the young man great tales of his travel, and then he talked about a country that had no onions.
Without any further thoughts, he bought onions, filled his cart and set his journey towards this wildly fantastic land without onions. Finally, after several days he arrived in the onion-less country. “I bring you a great gift from my country,” the young man proudly announced. “The plant is native to my place but new to yours. It has the unique ability to improve the flavor (滋味) of any food. It would be great if I could offer you this magic plant which you, in turn, introduce to your people.” The emperor was a little cautious about letting the strange plant in at first, but he later allowed the young man to prepare some foods using the onions.
The young man used all his skills to prepare the feast using the onions. All the empire’s ministers, the nobility and senior officials were invited to the dinner that night. After the young man did the initial tasting, the feast began. Then, everyone in the room started eating the food. It didn’t take long for the hall to get into a great noise of excitement. All praised the smell and the taste of the food. The emperor thanked the young man a lot, demanded all of the onions, and paid him its weight in gold.
On his journey back home, the young man met a trader. For hours that night, the young man told what he had seen in that faraway land, where gold was worth less than onions. He also told the trader that he learned that the country did not have garlic (大蒜). The trader was excited.

【答案】范文
The trader carried huge bags of garlic and took on the journey to the country without garlic. With the riches he was sure of a warm welcome. Since the introduction of the onions recently overjoyed the land, they were more open to the idea of trying his garlic. When he arrived in the country, the royal guards took the man with the new things to the emperor. The emperor asked him to prepare a feast using garlic.
The trader was very excited and made several tasty dishes using garlic. The garlic received even more praises than the onions, as he had expected. The emperor discussed with his ministers for a long time about the reward for their noble guest who introduced them to the garlic. They all agreed that the gold was not enough for such delicious food. So they decided to reward him with the most precious thing they had to offer. What can be more precious than gold Onions! That night the trader returned home with bags full of onions.
