阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a two year project were about to bear fruit.
It was Wang Hongyi's first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed and assembled (组装) with his teammates from the Aero Sport Club (航模队) at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University's Aero Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated.
“I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab，” says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. “He loves what he's doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out.” says coach Wu.
When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. “We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved.” Wang says. They didn't even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. “We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions.” he says.
“Our UAV isn't finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me.” Wang says. “The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.”
21．Why did Wang succeed in doing the research
A．He majored in mechanical engineering and automation.
B．He had a good coach and wonderful teammates.
C．He loved what he did and would stick to it.
D．He was highly thought of by Wu Junqi.
22．What does the writer want to do by writing the passage
A．Encourage students to learn from Wang Hongyi.
B．Tell readers about UAV development in China.
C．Inform readers about Wang Hongyi and his UAV.
D．Call on readers to do what interests them.
23．What message does Wang Hongyi's story convey to us
A．Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.
B．Two heads are better than one.
C．Interest is the best teacher.
D．Actions speak louder than words.
B
(2015·安徽卷)As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remembered the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)．”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
24．The passage begins with two questions to .
A．introduce the main topic B．show the author's attitude
C．describe how to use the Internet D．explain how to store information
25．What can we learn about the first experiment
A．The Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B．The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C．The first group did not try to remember the information.
D．The second group did not understand the information.
26．In transactive memory, people .
A．keep the information in mind
B．change the quantity of information
C．organize information like a computer
D．remember how to find the information
27．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research
A．We are using memory differently.
B．We are becoming more intelligent.
C．We have poorer memories than before.
D．We need a better way to access information.
C
Windows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft's operating system that has been changed from the core (核心) when compared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most common advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.
Generally speaking, there are a great number of plus sides related to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.
Speed—This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.
New passwords—Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!
Windows 8 experience—Apart from computers, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PC's and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.
However, there are still some disadvantages.
The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface (界面) introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.
28．What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A．Math symbols. B．Strengths.
C．New rules. D．Messages.
29．According to the text the greatest advantage of Windows 8 is its .
A．complex passwords B．high speed
C．unique experience D．new interface
30．From the text we can learn that Windows 8 .
A．no longer requires a password
B．was upgraded from windows 95
C．will be popular with desktop users
D．can be used on more than computers
31．Many Windows 8 users face the problem that .
A．start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner
B．they have to use fingerprints instead of button
C．keyboard and mouse can't be used any longer
D．they don't get accustomed to the new interface
D
We know more about the surface of the planet Mars than we know about what is at the bottom of Earth's oceans.
Until recently, scientists had mapped only about 20 percent of the sea floor. But our knowledge of the deep seas is changing because of information from satellites. Scientists have produced a new map that provides a detailed picture of the oceans. The map is expected to help oceanographers, industry and governments.
The new map is twice as detailed as the map made 20 years ago. David Sandwell is a geophysics professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California. He and other scientists worked on the mapping project. He says they turned to space to look deeper into the ocean. He spoke to VOA on SKYPE.
“The way we're doing that is to use a satellite altimeter (高度计), a radar to map the topography (地貌) of the ocean surface. Now that seems sort of strange that you'd map the topography of the ocean surface when you really want to get at the sea floor. But, the ocean surface topography has these bumps and dips due to gravitational effects that mimic what's on the sea floor.”
The scientists collected and studied information from two satellites. Some of the data came from the European Space Agency's Cryo 2 satellite. It was placed in Earth's orbit to watch sea ice. The other satellite is the American space agency's Jason 1. It is studying the surface of the oceans. Scientists combined the satellite data with images gathered by sonar equipment on ships. Sonar works by sending sound waves through the water. When the sound waves hit an object, its presence is confirmed.
“That enables us to look at smaller scale features and also features that are buried by sediments in the ocean basins.”
The new map shows the sea floor as it has never been seen before. It shows thousands of underwater mountains and places where continents pulled apart. It shows where earthquakes were active many years ago. They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor.
In one place, three mountain ridges join at the same area. Huge tectonic (构造的) plates can be seen clearly there.
32．The passage is likely to .
A．be an advertisement B．appear on VOA
C．make a comment on radar D．appear on SKYPE
33．What will be mentioned in the following paragraph, according to the last paragraph
A．The detailed information about the place.
B．The more important thing in the ocean.
C．The things buried in the ocean.
D．Scientists told SKYPE they will explore at the same area.
34．Scientists collected and studied information by .
A．the European Space Agency's Cryo 2 satellite
B．the American space agency's Jason 1
C．sonar equipment on ships
D．the Cryo 2 and the Jason 1
35．What's the best title of the passage
A．Scientists Create New Maps of Ocean Floor
B．Scientists Know More Oceans Than Mars
C．Oceans Will Provide Us With Maps
D．People Know Easily About Mars

As a father who works outside the home, I recognize that it is easy for me to get caught up in stress at work. Indeed, sometimes it is difficult to turn off my work focus and turn on my family focus so that I can come home and be the loving husband my wife needs and the playful father my kids want. 36 Good fathers provide stability and strength to the family. As fathers, we do not let the pressures and worries of work get in the way of being there for our kids.
37
1． 38 It doesn't need to be a lot of time, but if you are able, have one on one time with each of your kids.

3．Spend time reading to them. Allow your kids to choose a book and spend time reading some of it to them before bed. The more effort you put into it the more they will feel your love. 39
As a therapist (临床医学家) who works with children and their families, I have noticed that the better the relationship that a father has with his child, the more influence that father will have on his child.

Dear editor，
I'm sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowdays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason.
First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention.
Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.
Yours truly，
Wang Lin

Hello again, and welcome back. If you like sports, particularly basketball, you are going to like this one. Have you heard about Jeremy Lin He is an Asian American player, and the subject of a film about his unusual career.
92 foreign players from 39 countries began this season in the professional U．S. basketball league. That is more foreign players than ever before. But none is from Asia. At the moment, only one Asian American plays in the U．S. National Basketball Association (NBA) and his name is Jeremy Lin. A new film called “Linsanity” shows Lin's unlikely road to becoming a star last season.
Lin has always loved the game. He led his high school basketball team to the state championship. But no college offered him an athletic scholarship. Lin attended Harvard, known as one of America's top universities. His playing broke Ivy League basketball records. Still, no NBA team signed him to play for it.
As Lin struggled to prove he could play in the professional league, a group of Asian American filmmakers began documenting his rocky start. Teams would hire him, but then remove him from the team. Evan Jackson Leong directed the project that watched Lin's career struggle upward, but then downward again.

第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
语篇解读：本文主要讲作者日子艰难的时候，收到别人寄来的微笑贺卡。他效仿这种做法，在火车上送给陌生人微笑卡片和棒棒糖。给朋友、邻居寄去卡片和棒棒糖，同时也给别人送去好的心情。
41．C 过去的几周日子一直很艰难，但是几天前，当我的邮箱收到大量的微笑卡片时，……我知道事情会好转。 but是转折连词，因此41空与43空句意相反。
42．C 句意同上。根据最后一段I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy bars to people's mailboxes.可知答案。 office等缺乏语境支持。
43．B 句意同上。 turn away转过脸去；拒绝(某人)进入； turn around转身；好转； turn up出现，调大； turn down调小，拒绝。
44．D 那天晚上我上床睡觉的时候谋划着把这些微笑卡片放在哪里更好。 required要求； asked问； concerned担忧；这三个均需要人做宾语。 plotted谋划。
45．D 可能性是无穷无尽的。 felt系动词，与后面的形容词endless构成系表结构。若用came，则需要用endlessly作状语。
46．D 我直接去商店买一些棒棒糖。 slowly慢慢地； smoothly顺利地； direct直接的，是形容词，这里应该用副词； straight径直地，直接地。
47．B 计划把他们作为匿名的礼物送给火车上的人们。
48．A 然而，不像我早上去上班的那趟火车，我回家的这趟火车极其拥挤。 unlike介词，不像；其他三项都是形容词，放在这里不合适。
49．C 一位老人一定是看到我寻找地方放微笑卡片。根据第二段where to leave the cards和第三段的planning to leave them as可知答案。
50．B 就在那时，我决定我第一张卡片不会是匿名的。
51．A 卡片上是一个大大的笑脸，脸上洋溢着兴奋。 filled with充满。
52．A 我告诉他我找到了我想找的东西。

56．C 我在站台上挥手向他致意。 platform站台。
57．B 尽管工作了一整天，我高兴地蹦蹦跳跳地回家。 despite介词，尽管。其他三项是连词，要加句子。
58．C 我“额外多加了”根棒棒糖给我的邻居，我知道他处于很艰难的金融状况，但是他每天努力工作，为他的小儿子创造最好的一切，我认为他们俩都应该得到这美味的款待。
59．A 句意同上。 in a situation处于……状况。

Dear editor，
I'm sorry to occupy your precious time, I really want to tell you about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowdays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following .
First of all, as
it
is known to people, pets make so much noise that residents a lot. What's more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public where they may frighten children or even bite people. The important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention.
all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.
Yours truly，
Wang Lin

Dear Li Ming，
This Sunday we'll go to the nursing home and do some voluntary labor. You were out, when I dropped in on you. Therefore, I had to leave a message to you. According to what monitor said, we'll meet at the gate of our school at 9：30 tomorrow morning and start out together by bike. So you should take your bike and don't forget to take some washing powder, barber tools and weeding tools so that we can help them with washing clothes, cutting their hair and get rid of some weed in the garden. At last, you should remember to take some food for lunch because we'll stay there for chatting with them at noon. If you come back, please phone me at once.
