Good morning.I'm Sam Green.It's Nature Time again.In today's program, I'd like to share something about frogs.
So how many species of frogs are there in the world About 4,000 species are now known to scientists.They are different in size.The smallest frog is less than half an inch and the biggest frog is nearly a foot long.The biggest frog is the Goliath frog.It's found in Cameroon, a country in West Africa.They reach nearly 30 cm and weigh as much as 3.3 kilograms.The smallest frog is the gold frog of Brazil.They grow to only 8 or 9 mm in length.Recently scientists have noticed a great drop in the number of frogs around the world.We should all try to protect them.
Thank you all for listening to our program today.Until next time，I'm Sam Green and this is Nature Time.

Here are some of the most interesting and notable Nobel prize winners of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Dorothy Hodgkin(Oxford and Cambridge, Chemistry, 1964)
The first British woman to win a Nobel prize, Dorothy Hodgkin is a graduate of both Oxford and Cambridge.At the time when she was studying in Oxford, she would not have been able to take a degree at Cambridge, which did not grant women full degrees until 1947.

Amartya Sen(Oxford and Cambridge, Economics, 1998)
Born in Bengal in 1933, Amartya Sen was just nine years old when he witnessed the famine (饥荒) of 1943, which killed three million people.Nearly 20 years later, he wrote about poverty and famines.It was for his work on famine that he was awarded the Nobel prize.
Malala Yousafzai(Oxford, Peace, 2014)
The youngest-ever Nobel prize winner, Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize before she was even old enough to go to university.She is currently an undergraduate at the University of Oxford, studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Lady Margaret Hall.
At the age of 12, she became more and more involved in campaigning for girls’ education.She was awarded the Nobel prize at the age of just 17 in recognition of her fight for children's education.
Elizabeth H Blackburn(Cambridge, Medicine, 2009)
Australian-American Elizabeth Blackburn completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge.It was there that she met her future husband, and together they work at Yale, where her most significant work to date has been completed.Blackburn's research for which she won the Nobel prize was on telomerase (端粒酶)．Telomeres play a role in ageing and many diseases, most notably cancer.

On the outside, 12-year-old Luna seems like a common kid.She loves to draw and read and her favorite subjects are science and social studies.It's not until you get to know her that you learn Luna is anything but common.
Luna was born with heart disease and has undergone three open-heart operations.But she continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.So when Luna was asked by the athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country, it was quite a surprise.“I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design，” Luna says.
Luna is one of six patients from Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoes for its Shoes with Soul campaign.“Rather than just make a donation, we wanted to create an experience that would raise not only money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH，” says Chris Mahoney, Saucony's manager of design.“Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their stories and their talents with the world.”
Money from the shoe sales will benefit the BCH Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to find their own exercise programs tailored according to their heart condition.“We invite patients with heart disease to an exercise program where they train not only their bodies, but their minds to become fully fit and feel strong，” says Dr.Naomi Gauthier, doctor of the Cardiac Fitness Program.
“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to，” says Luna.“The advice I would give to someone like me is never give up.There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you are not alone.”

Malala believes girls are the best investment(投资) in the future peace and further development of our world.It will never be a wrong choice to spend money on girls.

It was challenging for me to organize a big fundraiser for a non-profit organization Hope.Having been involved in voluntary work for many years and running several small fundraisers, I came up with an idea to create an event that would bring my friends and family together and would educate everyone about the meaning of what I had been doing.
I wanted to hold the event at a local venue (举办地点) so I fell back on a friend, Jill, whose husband Sal owns an amazing Italian restaurant.When I asked if they'd be willing to host my fundraising event, they replied with a flat yes.
To raise additional funds, Jill and I went to local businesses asking for donations.I was amazed at how generous my community was and we got great donations.
After months of planning, I was so happy to see a full room the day of the event.While everyone was enjoying Sal's delicious food, I gave a small speech about Hope.Many of my friends and family hadn't known of the hardships that children born with a cleft (唇裂) must bear or of the life-changing impact a Hope-supported surgery (外科手术) can have on their lives.By the end of the speech, I saw that people were really moved and did all they could to raise as much money as possible.The event eventually raised an incredible $14,600.
The event taught me that it's not difficult to throw a successful fundraising event；it just takes a lot of work! However, my family, friends, and community were there to support me every step of the way.It's amazing that one small idea could turn into something with an incredible impact.How beautiful!

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why Do People Volunteer
For someone who doesn't do it, trying to understand why people volunteer can be difficult. 36. But there are several motives that can be used to explain this.Whenever there have been wars, there have been those who made the decision to join the battle. 37. It's not that they're unaware of the dangers, but it's something they're willing to go through.
38. An example would be those that join environmental groups.These involve a lot of work, from cleaning out rubbish to taking care of endangered animals.While some view these as thankless tasks, these people are thinking of the future.What they're doing is to preserve the present so there will be a future.
Simple kindness is another factor as to why people volunteer. 39. We see them helping total strangers who become trapped when earthquakes or hurricanes happen.For most, it's simply a matter of doing the right thing.
An individual who becomes financially successful might feel the need to give some of the fortune back.Helping out is one way to do it.For these people, it's not just another way to earn more money. 40. When asked why people volunteer, gratitude and giving back may be the answer.
A．For some, it's all about the future.
B．It helps people learn more about themselves.
C．It is their way of expressing thanks to others.
D．This becomes even more so when the task is dangerous.
E．Some feel that volunteering is a way for them to grow emotionally.
F．When disasters happen, some people offer their services to help others.
G．For these individuals, it's all about fighting for what they believe is right.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章解释了人们参加志愿者工作的原因。
解析：
36．D 根据上一句可知，空处应承接上文，进一步说明当任务有危险时，人们更难理解为什么有人要参加志愿者工作，D项中的“This”指代上文的“trying to understand why people volunteer”。故选D。
37．G 根据上文“Whenever there have been wars, there have been those who made the decision to join the battle.”可知，空处应该讲述人们在战争中做志愿者的原因。G项中的“these individuals”指代上文“those who made the decision to join the battle”。故选G。
38．A 空处为段落主旨句。根据下文“While some view these as...so there will be a future.”可知，本段主要说明人们从事志愿者工作是为了更好的未来。故选A。
39．F 根据下文“We see them helping total strangers who become trapped when earthquakes or hurricanes happen.”可知，空处提到了发生灾难的情况，F项中的“disasters”与下文“earthquakes or hurricanes”对应。故选F。
40．C 根据上文“For these people, it's not just another way to earn more money.”和下文“When asked why people volunteer, gratitude and giving back may be the answer.”可知，空处提到有些人做志愿者是为了表示感谢。故选C。

语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者的父亲离开了舒服的生活，到美国学习。在父亲的激励下，作者也决定像父亲一样，转校学习更具挑战性的课程，未来想要成为一名医生，帮助那些不幸的人。
41．A.keep B．escape

语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个记者带自己患癌的老父亲到处旅行，结果奇迹发生了，在愉快的旅行之后，老父亲的癌症自愈了，并且学会了好多技能，越活越年轻。
解析：
56．working 考查非谓语动词。句意：这位记者的父亲大半生都在农场工作。动词固定搭配spend time (in)doing...，表示“花费……时间做……”，用动名词作宾语。故填working。
57．amazing 考查形容词。句意：儿子与他的父亲开始这些惊人的旅行，因为父亲得了癌症——一种严重的疾病。该空需要形容词作定语，修饰名词trips，应用v.-ing形式形容词修饰名词trips，amazing“惊人的”符合题意。故填amazing。
58．illness 考查名词。句意同上题。该空需要填名词作cancer的同位语，根据a可知用单数名词。故填illness。
59．to take 考查非谓语动词。句意：记者想带他的父亲去旅行，希望他的父亲能在他最后的日子里找到年轻的自己。该空应填动词不定式作want的宾语，want to do...“想要做……”。故填to take。
60．traveled/travelled 考查时态。句意：他们旅行了13,000多公里，在不同的国家拍摄了超过11万张照片。该空所给动词travel在句中作谓语，根据后文的and took可知，and为并列连词，连接空处和took两个谓语动词，故travel应用一般过去时，travel的过去式travelled/traveled皆可。故填travelled/traveled。
61．pictures 考查名词复数。句意同上题。该空所给名词picture是可数名词，结合空前110,000可知，应使用名词复数。故填pictures。
62．To 考查介词。句意：令他们吃惊的是，他的父亲变得更好了，也变得更开朗了。介词固定短语to one's surprise 表示“令某人感到惊讶的是”符合题意，位于句首首字母大写。故填To。
63．better 考查比较级。句意同上题。所给形容词good在句中作表语，结合下文“became more open-hearted.”可知，应使用形容词比较级，表示父亲和以前相比的变化。故填better。
64．the 考查冠词。句意：他甚至自学拉小提琴，在练习之后，他拉得非常好。演奏乐器前应使用定冠词the，play the violin“拉小提琴”。故填the。
65．but/yet 考查连词。句意：时光刻蚀了这位父亲的脸庞，但他的血液里流淌着青春。前后文为转折关系，故应用表示转折的连词，故填but/yet。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Thick snowflakes swirled (旋转) around my car.Everything around me was white.The light was fading (变暗) as the sun set over the rocky peaks.
I was driving up a mountain and it was supposed to be a four-hour trip from Red River, New Mexico, to Durango, Colorado.I drove slowly along on a winding, unfamiliar road in a snowstorm.I was on my way to meet my friend Jane, who was in Durango.I was so excited about the weekend that I left without checking the weather.Thirty minutes into my drive, the snow had started.It was gentle snow at first.I thought about turning around.But it hardly looked threatening, so I continued.Now I regretted that decision.But it was too late.The road was too narrow and icy for me to turn around.The snow was bad, getting worse.The only way out was forward, higher and higher into the mountains.The last bit of sunlight disappeared，and I couldn't see anything beyond the few feet lighted by my headlights.
My cell phone had lost service as soon as I'd entered the mountain.I couldn't call for help.The clothes were in my luggage.Maybe I could find a place to pull over and wear more clothes until morning.Would that be enough to keep me warm all night How long would it take for someone to find me “Everything will be fine，”I whispered.
Then I noticed a pair of lights seemed to glow dimly (朦胧地) through the snowstorm.I opened my eyes wide hard and then looked ahead.There they were.Tail-lights! There was a car in front of me！At least someone was here with me.Focus on the lights, I told myself, not your fear.I followed my guide for at least another half hour as we continued to pass the mountain.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Finally, I felt the road start to level down gradually.
At the base of the mountain, I spotted the tail-lights.
参考范文：
Finally, I felt the road start to level down gradually.I lost sight of the tail-lights ahead of me.But the panic didn't return.I could see the car's tire tracks in my headlights.All I had to do was follow the tracks the rest of the way down the mountain.I drove slowly, keeping my wheels within the tracks every inch of the way.Soon I could see the lights of a town twinkling in the distance.The snow started to cover the tracks I was following.But both of us had made it.
At the base of the mountain，I spotted the tail-lights.As I got closer, I saw it was a SUV.I pulled up beside it and rolled down my window.The driver of the car did the same.“Many thanks.I was really scared on my way.Fortunately, I followed you.It was your car's light and tracks that gave me hope and encouragement，”The driver looked at me and smiled.“My pleasure.To tell you the truth, I was also fearful at the heavy snow, but when I noticed there was a car behind me I felt much better.In fact we hadn't been alone on that mountain road at night.”
