When I was a boy, we had several gardens around our old house. The largest one of all was used just for growing potatoes.
I can still remember those potato-planting days. The whole family helped. After my father had tilled (犁地) the soil, my mother, brothers and I went to work. It was my job to drop the little seed potatoes in the rows while my mother dropped handfuls of fertilizer (肥料) beside them. My brothers then covered them with the freshly turned earth.
For months afterward I would glance over the garden while I played outside and wonder what was going on underneath the ground. When the harvest time came, my father pulled them out of the soil. I was amazed at the huge size of the potatoes. Those little seeds had grown into huge delicious potatoes.
They would be turned into all kinds of delicious food: baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes. And my personal favorite: potatoes slow cooked in spaghetti sauce (意大利酱). They would keep the entire family well fed throughout the whole year. It truly was a miracle (奇迹).
Thinking back on those special times makes me wonder how many other seeds I have planted in the hearts and minds of others. Every single day, we plant seeds that can grow into something wonderful. I hope that you plant only goodness, peace and happiness in the lives of everyone you meet. I hope that every day you help miracles to grow.

Having an older brother comes with plenty of benefits. Big brothers tend to look after their younger brothers and sisters, and despite the occasional unpleasant moments here and there, many siblings(兄弟姐妹) enjoy life-long close relationships. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage. Children with older brothers take longer when it comes to developing language skills.
Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old. Each child’s language skills were tested at ages 2, 3,and 5.5,using tests specially designed to measure lots of aspects of language development such as vocabulary, syntax(句法), and verbal(文字的)reasoning. What the research team discovered was significant. Children with an older brother had, on average, a two-month delay in their language development compared to studied children with an older sister.
As far as explaining this phenomenon(现象), researchers have proposed two assumptions. The first is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers, which would compensate(补偿)for parents potentially being less present than they were for their first child. The second assumption is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings less than older brothers for their parents attention. The study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to study if culture or location impacts the prevalence(盛行)of these results.
The study is published in Psychological Science.
8. What did the new study find
A. Big brothers tend to look after their siblings.
B. Siblings tend to fight each other.
C. Many siblings enjoy life-long relationships.
D. Children with older brothers are slower in learning language.
9. What is the purpose of the second paragraph
A. To explain the approach of the research.
B. To show some problems of the findings.
C. To offer some evidence given by experts.
D. To convince readers to get involved in.
10. Which of the following belongs to the possible reasons
A. Older brothers fight for parents’attention.
B. Older brothers are stronger than older sisters.
C. Parents prefer older brothers to older sisters.
D. Older sisters can’t control their siblings.
11. What is the researchers’attitude towards their study
A. Doubtful. B. Negative. C. Satisfied. D. Excited.
D
The International Space Station (ISS) is a science laboratory in space. It is made of many different pieces that have been added on slowly since 1998. The group of astronauts working there changes often, but people have been living in the ISS for almost 18 years.
On Wednesday, NASA discovered that there was a leak in the ISS. The station is full of air that the astronauts can breathe. But outside the ISS, in space, there is no air. That means the pressure inside the station is much higher. So, the ISS was like a bike tire with a tiny hole in it.
On Thursday, the astronauts went to work and soon found the leak. It was less than 2 millimeters wide. That’s about as wide as the lead (笔芯) on a pencil that hasn’t been sharpened. The hole is in a Russian part of the station, called the Soyuz. The Soyuz is the spacecraft that brought three of the astronauts to the ISS. Luckily, the Soyuz can still be used to return to Earth. When the astronauts first found the leak, German astronaut Alexander Gerst did something that seemed very natural — he covered the hole with his thumb. Because the hole was so tiny, the astronauts were never in any danger. But it was still important to stop the leak. While they waited for more advice from Earth, the astronauts covered the hole with special tape. After many people discussed the problem on the ground, the astronauts were told how to fix the hole. Sergey Prokopyev of Russia did the job, filling the hole with cloth soaked in special glue.
The repair seems to have worked. The astronauts were able to get the air pressure back to normal. On Friday, the astronauts returned to their regular work.
NASA says that the hole was probably made by a tiny bit of a meteorite (陨石) — a rock flying through space. Some people believe the hole could be from a screw (螺丝) that came loose. It is also possible that the station was hit by a small piece of “space debris (残骸)” — tiny pieces of trash from other spacecraft. As more and more rockets and satellites are sent into space, space debris is a more common problem.
12. What was the problem with the ISS
A. The air started to go out from the ISS.
B. The ISS was hit by a piece of space debris.
C. The pressure outside the ISS was higher than that inside.
D. The astronauts inside the ISS had difficulty in breathing.
13. What do we know about the hole
A. It was as sharp as a pencil lead.
B. It was caused by three of Russian astronauts.
C. It had posed a great danger to the astronauts.
D. It was so small that the thumb could cover it.
14. What did the astronauts use to fix the leak in the ISS
A. A thumb and special tape. B. Special tape and cloth soaked in special glue.
C. A pencil lead and special tape. D. A pencil and cloth soaked in special glue.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. The Danger of the Leak in the International Space Station
B. The International Space Station Finds the Origin of the Leak
C. New Ways to Fix the Leak in the International Space Station
D. Astronauts Fix the Leak in the International Space Station

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The study’s authors say they can’t say for certain why children with older brothers have a harder time developing language skills. In the future they would like to study if culture or location impacts the prevalence(盛行)of these results.(该研究的作者表示，他们不能确定为什么有哥哥的孩子在发展语言技能方面更困难。在未来，他们想要研究文化或地理位置是否会影响这些结果的普遍性。)”可知，研究者表示他们也无法确定为什么有哥哥的孩子在发展语言技能方面更困难，即对该研究结果的原因不确定，故推测他们表现的是怀疑的态度。故选A。

The International Space Station (ISS) is a science laboratory in space. It is made of many different pieces that have been added on slowly since 1998. The group of astronauts working there changes often, but people have been living in the ISS for almost 18 years.
On Wednesday, NASA discovered that there was a leak in the ISS. The station is full of air that the astronauts can breathe. But outside the ISS, in space, there is no air. That means the pressure inside the station is much higher. So, the ISS was like a bike tire with a tiny hole in it.
On Thursday, the astronauts went to work and soon found the leak. It was less than 2 millimeters wide. That’s about as wide as the lead (笔芯) on a pencil that hasn’t been sharpened. The hole is in a Russian part of the station, called the Soyuz. The Soyuz is the spacecraft that brought three of the astronauts to the ISS. Luckily, the Soyuz can still be used to return to Earth. When the astronauts first found the leak, German astronaut Alexander Gerst did something that seemed very natural — he covered the hole with his thumb. Because the hole was so tiny, the astronauts were never in any danger. But it was still important to stop the leak. While they waited for more advice from Earth, the astronauts covered the hole with special tape. After many people discussed the problem on the ground, the astronauts were told how to fix the hole. Sergey Prokopyev of Russia did the job, filling the hole with cloth soaked in special glue.
The repair seems to have worked. The astronauts were able to get the air pressure back to normal. On Friday, the astronauts returned to their regular work.
NASA says that the hole was probably made by a tiny bit of a meteorite (陨石) — a rock flying through space. Some people believe the hole could be from a screw (螺丝) that came loose. It is also possible that the station was hit by a small piece of “space debris (残骸)” — tiny pieces of trash from other spacecraft. As more and more rockets and satellites are sent into space, space debris is a more common problem.
12. What was the problem with the ISS
A. The air started to go out from the ISS.
B. The ISS was hit by a piece of space debris.
C. The pressure outside the ISS was higher than that inside.
D. The astronauts inside the ISS had difficulty in breathing.
13. What do we know about the hole
A. It was as sharp as a pencil lead.
B. It was caused by three of Russian astronauts.
C. It had posed a great danger to the astronauts.
D. It was so small that the thumb could cover it.
14. What did the astronauts use to fix the leak in the ISS
A. A thumb and special tape. B. Special tape and cloth soaked in special glue.
C. A pencil lead and special tape. D. A pencil and cloth soaked in special glue.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. The Danger of the Leak in the International Space Station
B. The International Space Station Finds the Origin of the Leak
C. New Ways to Fix the Leak in the International Space Station
D. Astronauts Fix the Leak in the International Space Station
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了宇航员修复国际空间站的泄漏的过程和结果。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段“On Wednesday, NASA discovered that there was a leak in the ISS. The station is full of air that the astronauts can breathe. But outside the ISS, in space, there is no air. That means the pressure inside the station is much higher. So, the ISS was like a bike tire with a tiny hole in it. (周三，美国宇航局发现国际空间站出现了泄漏。空间站里充满了宇航员可以呼吸的空气。但是在国际空间站之外，在太空中，没有空气。这意味着空间站内的压力要高得多。所以，国际空间站就像一个自行车轮胎，上面有一个小洞。)”可知，国际空间站出现了泄漏，空气开始从国际空间站排出。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“When the astronauts first found the leak, German astronaut Alexander Gerst did something that seemed very natural — he covered the hole with his thumb. (当宇航员第一次发现这个漏洞时，德国宇航员亚历山大·格斯特做了一件看起来很自然的事——他用拇指堵住了这个洞。)”可知，这个洞太小了，拇指可以盖住它。故选D。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“On Wednesday, NASA discovered that there was a leak in the ISS. (周三，美国宇航局发现国际空间站出现了泄漏。)”和第四段“The repair seems to have worked.

【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：当我最初被分配到交通警察岗位时，我有点失望。根据was可知，事情发生在过去，故时态用一般过去时，且I与assign“分配”为被动关系，应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为I，be动词用was。故填was assigned。

【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：如果有紧急情况，比如孕妇或其他人急需去医院。此处表示泛指“一个紧急情况”，且emergency以元音音素开头，因此应填入需要冠词an。故填an。

考查非谓语动词。句意：当我们值班时，如果司机看到我们，他会靠边停车并敦促我们介入，说着诸如：“你能帮我们过去吗？我们正在去医院的路上。”本句谓语为pulls over和urges，此处为非谓语动词，且he与say为主动关系，应用现在分词，作伴随状语。故填saying。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：当我们值班时，如果司机看到我们，他会靠边停车并敦促我们介入，说着诸如：“你能帮我们过去吗？我们正在去医院的路上。”固定短语on the way to，意为“在去往……的路上”。故填on。
【45题详解】

Jean. “Jean, this is Tom,” he said. “I want you to make a telephone call to my office. Ask to speak to Mr. Bates. Tell him you are speaking from a doctor’s office. Tell him that my mother is ill.” He put down the telephone and went back to the office.
At one o’clock, Mr. Bates came up to him. “I have had bad news for you, Tom.” he said. “Your mother is ill. The doctor telephoned. You must go to her.” “Thank you,” Tom said. “I’ll go now. I’ll come back as soon as I can.” He left the office quickly for the football ground. The big match did not start until three but the ground was nearly full. But Tom’s ticket was a good one.
