Emily Bonfim Camargo，a 10 year old girl，has cerebral palsy(大脑性瘫痪).Because of her condition，her involuntary movements prevent her from freely holding objects with her hands or standing up.She's never been able to walk，but that doesn't mean she doesn't have the same dreams and hopes as other children.In particular，she's always wanted to ride a bicycle.
“That was her dream，and I had to do something to help，” said her grandfather，Clovis Urias dos Santos，a 69 year old former construction worker.First he tried to make his granddaughter's dream come true by buying her a tricycle(三轮车).Unfortunately，she was unable to hold the handlebars to guide the vehicle，and she couldn't keep her balance on the seat.Her grandfather，however，isn't a man who is easily discouraged.
In his home workshop，he started to think of how he could make a more stable tricycle for her.He started to take things apart and put the useful pieces back together.“ I fixed the pedals(踏板) with brakes，and I didn't put on handlebars，” he told Sempre Familia，a local news medium.
This vehicle isn't just fun; it's also practical.Clovis added a basket behind the seat，so that Emily can carry her backpack for school，or some groceries，because she likes to go to the supermarket and bakery with him.Emily's special tricycle is also stylish.“After the tricycle was ready，I painted it pink and purple because Emily chose those colors.She was very happy，and I was even happier，” Clovis said.
There's no cure for cerebral palsy，although there is medicine to decrease involuntary muscle movements.So what does the future hold for Emily？Only time will tell，but the support of her family will fill her future with hope.

I grew up in a middle class household in Australia.In terms of safety and standard of living，a comfortable lifestyle is all I ever knew，and as a result，I was not aware just how lucky I was.
It was a Monday，and a teacher told us about an oversea mission trip to Cambodia.I had never been overseas before，and I knew absolutely nothing about Cambodia，but something inside of me knew I needed to go on this trip.
I spent the next few months working on $7.25 hourly wage at an awful fast food chain，saving every penny I earned.Just days before the trip was set to depart，I managed to hit my target.
I will never forget the moment I nervously stepped off the plane in Cambodia.I vividly recall the sight of malnourished children begging for money tearing at my heart.I saw what true poverty looked like as we went to hand food packages out at a massive garbage dump in the city，home to thousands of families，many of whom were forced to seek for food among the rubbish.
On the following days，I played with children who，despite living in hard conditions，were overflowing with joy and happiness.I met families who，despite having nothing，were some of the kindest people I'd ever met.For the first time，my eyes were opened to the reality that happiness is not defined by money.People here were rich in relationships and community，and shared with each other the little that they had.
Through the trip，I began to see the value of learning from people of other races，cultures and religions.I finally saw that there was a much bigger world outside of my little one，and experienced first hand the beauty of human diversity.

Do you want to live another 100 years or more？Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality(永生)，”said Michael Zey，a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future.“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”
At the conference in San Francisco，Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology(纳米技术)make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years，” he said.“Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”
However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases，they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“It remains to be seen if you pass 120，you know；could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life？” said Leonard Poon，director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Centre.“At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”

A．They believe that there is no limit of living.
B．They are sure to find the truth about long living.
C．They have got some ideas about living forever.
D．They are able to make people live past the present life span.
C [推理判断题。根据第二段引述Michael Zey的话“I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate.”并结合第一段内容可知，他要表达的就是科技发展有望使人们延长寿命，与C选项“他们关于永生有了一些想法”符合文意。故选C项。]
13．What is Donald Louria's attitude towards long living
A．People can live from 120 to 180 years.
B．It is still doubtful how long humans can live.
C．The human body is designed to last past about 120 years.
D．It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.
D [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Donald Louria，a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nano technology make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past”可知，Donald Louria认为相关技术的发展会使人类寿命延长变为可能，与D选项说法相符。故选D项。]
14．What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph 4 refer to
A．A great push.
B．The idea of living from 200 to 300 years.
C．The idea of living beyond the present life span.
D．The conservative estimate.
C [代词指代题。根据第四段画线词所在句“However，many scientists who specialize in aging are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.”可知，这里表达的就是很多科学家认为人类的身体根本不能支持活过120年，其实就是对以Donald Louria为代表的认为人类可以突破自身寿命的自然极限的科学家们的这一观点表示怀疑。故选C项。]
15．What would be the best title for this text
A．Living Longer or Not
B．Science，Technology and Long Living
C．Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living
D．No Limit for Human Life
A [标题归纳题。文章的结构是比较清晰的，围绕着“人类的寿命延长”这一主题，先抛出一方的观点和见解，再给出反对方的观点和见解，诸如However、doubtful、also differ on这些词语都表现出了文章的结构特点，A选项“能否活得更久”符合文章主题，也明确地对应了行文特点，适合作为标题。故选A项。]

Tips for Green Travel with Kids
Traveling doesn't mean letting go of all the eco friendly choices we work so hard to achieve in our daily life.Here are a few tips for green travel with kids：
Booking non stop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions(碳排放).If the closest local airport doesn't have non stop flights to a certain place，check in with other local airports to see if non stop flights are available. 16
Whether you're flying or driving，it's easy when traveling to pull into fast food restaurants for snacks. 17 My kids love to help plan snacks.I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.
18 At the airport，keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security(安检).Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint.Single use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.
19 Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner(空调).You should also help your children keep their good，green habits from home to place while traveling.Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day—once in the morning and again after getting out of the pool.Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers. 20
A．Walking is good for your health.
B．Try to cut back to save water and energy.
C．But you can pack healthy food from home.
D．Traveling is a great chance to introduce your kids to the world.
E．Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along wherever you travel.
F．Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.
G．You might have to drive a bit further，but saving on carbon emissions makes it worthwhile.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章给出了与孩子一起绿色出行的一些建议。
16．G [根据上一句“If the closest local airport doesn't have non stop flights to a certain place，check in with other local airports to see if non stop flights are available.”可知，如果最近的本地机场没有直飞某个地方的航班，请与其他当地机场联系，看看是否有直达航班。此处承接上文，讲的还是关于搭乘直达航班这一话题，G中的a bit further与上文中的“closest”相呼应，故选G。]
17．C [根据下文“My kids love to help plan snacks.I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.”可知，此处讲的是关于准备旅行零食方面的内容，说明可以自己从家带零食，故选C。]
18．E [根据下文“At the airport，keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security.Fill them up on the other side of the security checkpoint.”可知，此处讲的是关于旅行中自备水瓶的内容。故选E。]
19．F [根据下文“Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner.”可知，此处讲的是关于节约电能方面的内容，F项“Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you head out for the day.”符合语境，故选F。]
20．B [根据上文“Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers.”可知，此处讲的是节约用水。故选B。]

The Make up (化妆) Guy
Dave was a make up artist who regularly held make up artistry classes at the local community college.He was well known as an excellent trainer and enjoyed great popularity.
Usually，the majority of his students were middle aged housewives，who wanted to fine tune their make up skills so as to make themselves more attractive.But this time，it was beyond him that his class was attended by a man as well.
The new student was a gentleman in his best years with a seemingly boundless interest in make up artistry.He was keen to learn as much as he possibly could and asked questions whenever and wherever possible.He was so absorbed in learning that he wouldn't stop until he was satisfied with the result of his work.
Understandably，the man was the number one subject of conversation when the other women were alone.
Speculations (猜测) quickly started to spread.Why did he learn make up Was he to seek for a woman to be his life partner How about my neighbor's youngest daughter Why on earth would he attend such a woman class Who could it be
Doubts like this came crowding in.
The community college was placed in a remote rural area，which was why the other participants were quite doubtful of the man's intentions.
Throughout the lessons，ignoring the curious women around him，the man carefully listened and wrote everything down he learned，leaving the women more and more curious and puzzled.
When the day and class were slowly coming to an end，the gossiping women simply could not hide their curiosity any longer，for they knew it was time to remove their doubts，otherwise...
Finally，one of them couldn't resist her curiosity，so she picked up the courage and asked him why he was so interested in make up artistry.
What followed was a dead silence.After what seemed a century，he slowly opened his mouth and here came the most inspiring beautiful reply.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes (糖尿病) and she was no longer able to apply her make up.
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife.
【参考范文】
He said his beloved wife partially lost her eyesight because of diabetes(糖尿病)and she was no longer able to apply her make up.Fearing being laughed at，she locked herself in her room，abandoning herself to great grief.She was absolutely beautiful even without make up.But what upset her was that she simply felt not comfortable leaving the home without make up.“Sensing her loneliness in a colorless world，I was also at a loss as to what to do.Once informed of this class，I determined to learn make up without hesitation，hoping to make a difference.”
So he decided to take the course to surprise his wife. Without a pause，he shared his story.He mastered a wide range of practical skills，allowing him to help her take on a new look.Surely，being enveloped by an atmosphere of love，his beloved wife at present was deeply affected.“I not only want to learn how to apply her make up，I want her to wear the most beautiful make up so her inner beauty also shines on the outside.” he announced.“It is her smile that most touches my heart，not the make up.”单元综合检测(四)

The advancement of human civilization is possible just because of enormous contribution made by scientists.They are one of the most influential people of today's world.With practical advantages in engineering，medicine and technology，they have helped us to grow better understanding about the world and different working phenomenon that governs us.Their names are remembered in the sands of time for their work in the welfare of mankind with different inventions that has made our modern lives easy.Here is a list of the four great scientists we've ever seen who changed the world.
Louis Pasteur(1822－1895)
Pasteur contributed greatly towards the advancement of medical sciences developing cures for rabies，anthrax and other infectious diseases.He also invented the process of pasteurization(加热杀菌法)to make milk safer to drink.He probably saved more lives than any other person.
Otto Hahn(1879－1968)
Hahn was a German chemist who discovered nuclear fission(裂变)in 1939.He was a pioneering scientist in the field of radio chemistry，and discovered radioactive elements in 1921.He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1944.
Nikola Tesla(1856－1943)
Tesla worked on electro magnetism and AC current.He obtained around 300 patents worldwide for his inventions from electricity to radio transmission，but many inventions developed by Tesla were not put into patent protection.He played a key role in the development of modern electricity.
James Clerk Maxwell(1831－1879)
Maxwell made great progress in understanding electro magnetism.His research in electricity and kinetics laid the foundation for quantum(量子)physics.Einstein said of Maxwell，“The work of James Clerk Maxwell changed the world forever.”

Madame Curie，the youngest of the five children，was born in Warsaw，Poland in 1867.Marie Curie's maiden name was Manya.Her parents were teachers，and she learned the importance of education at a very early age.No higher education was offered to women in Poland at that time，so Manya took a job as a tutor.She sent part of her income to Paris to help pay for her elder sister's medical studies.Her sister qualified as a doctor and married a fellow doctor in 1891.Manya went to joined them in Paris，changing her name to Marie.
She entered the Sorbonne(now the University of Paris) and studied physics and mathematics，graduating at the top of her class.For the research she wanted to do，she was introduced to another young scientist，Pierre Curie.Later，they fell in love with each other.
After she was rewarded the Nobel Prize，fame troubled Marie Curie and also her husband，because science was their world and in this world of science，fame and honor to persons had no value.One day when a writer for a newspaper tried to ask Marie about herself，her thoughts and her beliefs，she answered him，“In science we must be interested in things，not in persons.” Much of the real character and spirit of this unusual woman was found in these few words，which she was later often to repeat.One evening，at a big party，a friend asked if she would like to meet the King of Greece，who was also a guest.She answered in her simple manner，“I don't see the value of it.” Then，seeing that she hurt the feeling of her friend，she quickly added，“But...but...of course，I shall do whatever you please.Just as you please.”

Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many，but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego，there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth's surface.
The Lab2Moon competition，held by TeamIndus，is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level，the students want to test whether it's possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon.However，they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts，it's also important for the development of drugs and yeast containing food，like bread.
“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends，” said Neeki Ashari，a fifth year bioengineering students at UC San Diego.“We all appreciate the craft beer.When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India's moonlander，we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”
The preparation work for the beer—up to the stage of adding yeast—will all be done on Earth，and rather than separating the fermentation(发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer，the team plans to combine them.
This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process，which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected，Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space，and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore，India，in March.
Sadly，you won't be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon，as no samples will be brought back.However，this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables(消耗品) behave in different environments.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。对许多人来说，在月球上酿造啤酒似乎是天方夜谭，但对于一群来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校的学生来说，这是一个将他们的研究带出地球表面的机会。

13．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 6 refer to
A．The mixing of two stages.
B．Adding yeast on Earth.
C．The preparation work on Earth.
D．Fermentation and carbonation.
A [代词指代题。根据上文“The preparation work for the beer—up to the stage of adding yeast—will all be done on Earth，and rather than separating the fermentation and carbonation stage of making beer，the team plans to combine them.”可知，“This”指的是两个过程的混合。故选A。]
14．What can we learn about the experiment from the passage
A．It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B．It's quite competitive compared with other designs.
C．Its design has already been approved by TeamIndus.

When the rest of the students got off the bus，Mary and John quickly ran off to explore.They found the exhibits for many different kinds of animals and learned a lot about their natural habitats.They saw the elephants playing and they saw giraffes eating.They saw the polar bears sleeping and the monkeys leaping.Mary asked John，“John，what is your favorite animal？”
“I think I like chimpanzees best.They have a lot of energy，just like me! What animal do you like，Mary？”
“I love polar bears! I think their lifestyle in the Arctic is very interesting.”
A few hours later，Mary and John started to feel hungry.They made their way back to the zoo entrance to eat lunch at the Rainforest Café.The Rainforest Café is both Mary and John's favorite restaurant because there is an aquarium inside.The restaurant is also famous for its chocolate cake，which Mary ordered for dessert after they had finished their lunch.
As Mary was finishing her cake，John excused himself to go to the restroom.About ten minutes later，an alarm suddenly began to go off and a voice came over the loudspeaker：
“Attention! Someone has opened the chimpanzee exhibit! Some chimpanzees have escaped！”
People were screaming and starting to run.Mary looked for John，but he was nowhere to be found.

As more and more people ran out of the zoo，Mary began to think where John could be.With a mixture of fear and anxiety，Mary started leaving the restaurant to search for her buddy.As she looked around the zoo grounds，it occurred to her that John had told her that chimpanzees were his favorite animals.John wouldn't have left the restaurant to release the chimpanzees，would he？Oh no! Mary was sure she knew where John had gone.
As Mary raced up the path to the animal exhibits，she stopped because she saw John with two chimpanzees held in his arms.He offered a small，guilty smile.“I didn't mean to let them escape，” he said.“I just wanted to set them free so that they could play outside for a little while！” he continued with excitement.“I took the key from a zookeeper who wasn't looking.But then，the exhibit lock broke and...” Behind Mary，Mrs Brown had begun to walk up the path and saw John holding the animals.It was clear from her serious expression that he was in big trouble.单元综合检测(一)

My mother is a teacher.I often asked her，“Why do you teach？What keeps you teaching？” The answer was always the same.“There is always that one child，that one moment that is worth it.”
Now，I am a teacher，too.But different from my mother，I teach students challenging activities outdoors.And when my mother asked me the similar questions，my answer was，“It's that one child，that one special moment.”
One of those moments happened recently.I was working with a group of girls in a four week programme.Everything went on well through the “Team” events and we were moving on to a “High” one called the Wire Walk.
In the Wire Walk，each girl had to climb up the pegs in a tree to a wire，8 meters high，and then walk across it.Of course，everything was safe for sure.
When it was Susie's turn，it seemed that she didn't really want to.I asked Susie if she was ready.She answered softly，“I suppose.”
Now，Susie was at the foot of the tree.She started to make the long reach.Then I found Susie was becoming nervous with every step.I realized she would not go much further.
Susie was halfway up.Then she stopped and held the tree tight，looking very afraid.Her eyes were closed.With her face against the tree，she cried，“I can't.”
The other girls sat in silence.I talked quietly to Susie，trying to relax her.I talked for a long time till I ran out of words.
“I will still be your friend no matter what，Susie！” Mary broke the silence.
To my surprise，Susie lifted her head and looked up to the wire.Then she turned to look down at Mary and smiled.Mary smiled back.
Finally，Susie made it all the way across that wire.When she returned to the ground，the first hug she looked for was from Mary.We all cheered.Moments like this keep me doing what I do.

Koalas live in the eucalyptus(桉树) forests of southeastern and eastern Australia.They rely on the eucalyptus tree for both habitat and food.In fact，they seldom leave these trees.When not sleeping，they're usually eating.They can eat more than a pound of eucalyptus leaves a day.Eucalyptus is poisonous，so the koala's digestive(消化的) system has to work hard to digest it，breaking down the poisons and taking in the limited nutrients(营养).That's why koalas sleep for 18 to 22 hours a day—they get very little energy from their diet.
Koala numbers decreased in the late 19th and early 20th century from hunting for their fur.Now they face serious threats from habitat loss.Land clearing and bush fires—especially the 2019－2020 Australia Bushfire Season—have destroyed much of the forest they live in.Koalas are easy to be affected by climate change.Increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is decreasing the nutritional quality of eucalyptus leaves and causing longer，more serious droughts and wildfires.In response to drought，koalas are forced to stop sleeping and come down from the trees to find water，putting them at a higher risk of being killed.
Koalas have been identified by the Australian government as one of the 113 animals requiring urgent(紧急的)help.Ensuring there's the right kind of forest for them to return to is extremely urgent.State governments should create new koala reserves and persuade landowners not to cut down eucalyptus trees.Meanwhile，getting the public to understand koalas' living habits and their health will throw light on koala biology，which helps to develop plans to better protect the species.

Seal Island is a 200 metre long island in South Africa，which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60，000 seals and some birds.This island has been home to many birds and seals.You may think this island is a paradise.In fact，the island is not famous for the seals or birds.However，the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15 foot long，3，000 pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in mid air.Actually，these sharks are called “Air Jaws”．
Over the years，the seals have gotten smarter.Now，they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed.They swim down on the sea floor，which gives them extra camouflage(掩饰).When they have to swim near the water surface，they swim in a zigzag(之字形的) pattern.But with all these tricks，they can still be outwitted(以智取胜) by the sharks.Usually，the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface，where it is easy to hunt.Sometimes，the seal is lucky and gets away，but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year，tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water，sometimes flinging(抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals.Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below！This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.

第二节
Green is an important color in nature. 16 It is also the color of most growing plants.
17 For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience or someone who is new to a situation.In the fifteenth century，a greenhorn referred to a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed.A century or so later，a greenhorn was for a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the eighteenth century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early twentieth century. 18 You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. 19
Besides，green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling—jealousy.The green eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello. 20
In most places in the world，a green light is a signal to move ahead.In everyday speech，a green light means approval to continue with a project.
A．Sometimes，the word green means young，fresh and growing.
B．It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone else has something that he wants.
C．A person with a green thumb seems to have the power to make plants grow quickly and well.
D．People enjoy different colors.
E．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.
F．It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
G.You should take care of the plants in your garden.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个与绿色有关的习语的含义。
16．E [下文提到，绿色也是大多数植物的颜色，故E项“它是草和树叶的颜色”符合语境。]
17．A [由本段中的例子可知，greenhorn这个词可以指毫无经验的新手、还未长成的小牛或者没有任何战斗经验的士兵，由此可推断有时绿色这个词意味着年轻、新鲜和成长。]
18．C [空格后面给出例子，如果你种的植物早已枯萎，但女邻居的花园仍然不断生长，你可能会说，她有一个“绿拇指”。由此可知，空格处应对有“绿拇指”的人进行解释，故选C。]
19．F [前面一句提到绿色革命指的是多年前开发新品种的水稻和其他谷物，故F项“绿色革命是有着‘绿拇指’的农业科学家努力的结果”，紧承上文。]
20．B [上文提到，绿色还用来描述忌妒这种强烈的情感，故B项“它描述了别人拥有他想要的某样东西时不愉快的感觉”符合语境。]

Dear Jack，
I'm so glad to hear from you! In your letter you asked me about how to keep healthy.I'd like to give you some advice.
As you know，we teenagers are going through a rapid growth and development which needs to be supported by a healthy and balanced diet.To get enough energy and nutrients，we need a variety of food，such as fish and meat，especially vegetables and fruit.You'd better cut down the food rich in sugar or fat.Besides，you should take physical exercise regularly.What's more，having enough sleep is of great importance.So I advise you to sleep eight hours every day and not to stay up too late.Only in this way can you keep fit.
I hope you will find these suggestions helpful.

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains.So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale”，I marched into the crowded store.Up and down the aisles (通道)，I wandered，humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden，there，at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband's dream Supremo Numero Uno，whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years.My heart beat wildly.I pushed my way through the crowds，and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag.There it was，with the manufacturer's suggested price at $6，750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS.Must be a mistake.$6，000 off Salesman.I had to talk to a salesman.I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi.I'm Mathew”．“Mathew.Tell me about this El Supremo canoe.What's wrong with it Why is it only $750？”
“Oh.There's nothing wrong with it.It's brand new.We're closing the store.It's on clearance like everything else.I'll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said，“I'm sorry ma'am.Someone made a mistake on the sale tag.It should be $4，750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes.“Oh well，”I said sadly.“Of course，it was too good to be true.This is exactly like my husband's dreamboat.I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag.He's going to be 62 years old Friday.Had to retire early for his health.It's been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this.I promise I won't buy anything，but it's just an old man's silly dream，you know.Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired.” My voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

“Ma'am.There's something you should know.This store was my grandpa's and the canoe had been ordered by him.He always promised to retire one day.Said he wanted to spend time relaxing and fishing in a canoe.” He swallowed hard.“My grandpa died，sudden like，just last week.He was only 68 years old.I think he'd be mighty happy that your husband will get this canoe.You just have to make sure he uses it a lot，okay Promise？” “I promise，” I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.单元综合检测(三)

Three weeks ago，we were living paycheck to paycheck.We survived on my husband's low paid job and my disability.We have kids.Also，I was experiencing a terrible tumor(肿瘤)on my neck，leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain，but the operation was to be $8，000，out of pocket，because Medicare only covers 80%.
To take me to the hospital，my husband took a day off work.At 7 a．m.，his boss called.He was being placed on paid leaving，waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.
We both panicked.Having slowly worked our way out of poverty(贫穷) for 8 years，we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away.As my husband was a great worker，we decided to stay positive and hope for the best.However，two days later he received the official phone call—he was fired.
Having no savings to pay bills，we cried hopelessly.We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn't collect unemployment for 8 weeks，meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months.It was terrifying.
With only enough food to last for about a week，we applied for food stamps and Medicaid.Then we worked together—diving into job applications.After sending out resumes(简历)to everywhere in the field，he came across some promising companies.We kept our fingers crossed.Hopefully，we could get out of trouble as early as possible.
Soon I got a phone call—my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again.And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great.He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job.What a roller coaster ride!

Going on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities.Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to obtain.
This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in.The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages，depending on the person's needs.
Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U．S.and abroad.They've served almost 900 disabled people，their family，and friends.Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York，Hawaii，Paris，London，and Kruger National Park in South Africa.Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs，which can be used on the beach and in the ocean，and kayaks(皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak.The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves，evaluating things such as door widths，bed heights，bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.
Silberstein，the company's founder，says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people，though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility issues.And in the future，they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss，and people with emotional disabilities.“One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips，which is a gap Wheel the World aims to close，” says Silberstein.
Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe—currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent，but their eventual goal is much higher.“We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations，” Silberstein says.

When a friend comes to you after a stressful day，how do you comfort him？Do you let him complain？Do you pour him a glass of coffee？Those could work.But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy—hugging.
“Individuals who reported noticing the availability of a network of supportive individuals tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress.But just because you have a support network does not mean that you absolutely feel that support，” said Michael Murphy，a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh.He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better.
So Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks.During these interviews，the participants were asked a simple yes or no question—whether somebody had hugged them that day—and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict with somebody that day.They also were asked to respond to questions about negative and positive mood states.
And the researchers found that people who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as participants who experienced conflict and didn't get a hug.And they were also found not to carry the negative effect to the next day，while those who did not receive one would.The findings are in PLOS ONE.
Murphy does include this warning：“So our findings should not be taken as proof that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems upset.A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学家Michael Murphy和他的团队的一项研究成果，就是拥抱行为可以起到使人们积极向上，更好地应对焦虑和压力的作用。
12．What does paragraph 1 serve as

13．Why did the researchers interview those people
A．To find out causes of their conflicts.
B．To test the influence of hugging.
C．To ask for advice on relieving stress.
D．To seek ways to comfort troubled people.
B [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better.”可知，研究者进行这项实验(采访)的目的是看看人们获得拥抱后是否能够更好地应对焦虑和压力，故B项“为了检验拥抱的作用”正确。]
14．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．404 interviewees.
B．Murphy and his team.
C．Participants getting a hug.
D．People receiving no hugs.
C [代词指代题。根据画线词前一句和后面的“while those who did not receive one would”可知，与他人发生过冲突后，获得拥抱的人比那些没有得到拥抱的人受到的负面影响小，他们第二天也不再携带负面情绪，而那些没有获得拥抱的人则不然。故they指代那些获得了拥抱的人。故选C。]
15．What do Murphy's words warn in the end
A．The interview results prove their findings.
B．A boss should comfort workers by hugging.
C．People should hug others regularly and actively.
D．There are some limitations of their findings.
D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中Murphy的话可知，工作中老板的拥抱或来自大街上陌生人的拥抱并不能带来积极的影响，即Murphy表明他们的发现是有局限性的，故选D。]
第二节
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，“My spoken English is poor.” 16 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 17 However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
18 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly.However，in speaking your aim is fluency.You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter. 19
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 20
A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E．Second，they are afraid of making mistakes.
F．However，their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

18．E [根据下文“Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.(有时他们在说话时犯错误，因为他们害羞和紧张。)”可知，E.“Second，they are afraid of making mistakes.(第二，他们害怕犯错误。)”符合语境。make mistakes是对应词组。故选E。]
19．A [根据上文“You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter.(你想要传达你的信息，尽可能快地用英语和别人交谈，即使有时你可能会使用错误的单词或时态，但这并不重要。)”可知，A．“The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.(和你说话的人会理解你的意思，也会原谅他听到的任何错误。)”符合语境。故选A。]
20．D [根据上文“Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.(他们不是主动寻找机会提高英语口语，而是被动地等待说英语的机会，不知道为什么他们的英语总是很差。)”可知，D．“If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.(如果你有这种积极主动的态度，那么无论你走到哪里，你都会看到英语学习的机会。)”符合语境。故选D。]

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。
It was shortly after one o'clock in the morning and Mr. Fairfax was really tired.He had been driving for over five hours，heading for a small town far away from home.The weather was clear but it was dark and Mr. Fairfax could not find a motel to spend the pletely exhausted，he decided to stop by the roadside for a few hours' sleep at the wheel of his car.He fell asleep almost the moment he closed his eyes.But soon he was awakened by a man tapping on the car window.“I say，you don't happen to know the time，do you？” the stranger asked.
Mr. Fairfax wound down the window and thrust his head out.“It's around one o'clock，”he answered.Then he wound up his window and soon fell back into a deep slumber.
Half an hour later，another guy came up and knocked on his window who also inquired about the time.Once again，Mr. Fairfax gathered his thoughts and told him that it was just after one thirty.
When the same thing happened yet again，Mr. Fairfax became increasingly irritated.Sleep deprived，he began to raise his voice at the passer by：“It's two o'clock.And why can't you get yourself a watch like the rest of us？”
This time when he was winding up the window，Mr. Fairfax figured out how to make sure no one else disturbed him.He found some paper and a pencil and wrote a note that he placed on the windscreen of his car.It said：“I don't know what time it is！” Amused by his good idea，he happily drifted off back to sleep again.
Not long afterwards，the note was spotted by a policeman on his night patrol.Intent on fulfilling his duty to assist motorists，he tapped on Mr. Fairfax's car window.
“Well，sir，” the policeman said.“Now it is five past three！”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
“What a bad day！”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel，the car window was wound down.
“I'm sorry Mister，but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice，”said the police.
【参考范文】
“What a bad day！”With a loud noise of fist hitting the wheel，the car window was wound down.Mr. Fairfax thrust his head out again，staring at the man breaking his sweet dream，his eyes red for lack of sleep.“How dare you！” Mr. Fairfax shouted，“I may kill you if you do this again！”“Uh...Excuse me，” the policeman replied tentatively.“I was just doing my duty.You know...” “Oh，please！Go ahead，sir.Just don't disturb me！” Winding up the window，Mr. Fairfax was eager to go back to sleep.
“I'm sorry Mister，but I think sleeping in the car by the roadside is not a good choice，” said the police.“You think？” Mr. Fairfax was still angry.“Yeah，so I was thinking you may spend the rest of the night in my office.It's not far from here by the way.”“Well，” Mr. Fairfax started to feel uneasy，“I have to say thanks a lot，really.And I'm also sorry for the rudeness just now.”“Oh，that's OK.But I'm afraid you have to pay a fine of $10 for parking by the roadside，” the police wrote a ticket with a tricky smile.
