第一部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

A
Maya Merhi is an eight-year-old Syrian refugee (难民) girl who lost her legs in the country’s civil war. Recently, a photo of Maya touched people around the world and now she has been promised that she will be able to walk again after being given new artificial limbs (假肢). Maya was pho?tographed “walking” —actually crawling (爬行), with artificial limbs that her father had made out of plastic tin cans. The photo attracted global concern. Now she is to have a professional operation in Turkey.
Maya and her father had been living at a refugee camp in the Idlib region of northern Syria, leaving their Aleppo home to avoid the civil war.
“Maya was not able to move around and was sitting the whole time in a tent,” said Mr Merhi. “In order to help her to move out of the tent, I had the idea to fix some soft items to her body to reduce the pressure and then added two empty cans because the plastic was not strong enough to resist the friction (摩擦) with the ground.”
“My heart suffers when I see her crawling in front of her friends. Without the war, Maya would play and run together with those kids happily.” The poor father was fighting back tears as he spoke.
After her picture was seen around the world, the Turkish Red Crescent arranged to take Maya and her father to a hospital in Istanbul. “Maya will walk,” said Dr Mehmet Zeki Culcu, the specialist treating her. Dr Culcu said he had been “Very touched” by the photograph of Maya “walking” with her tins and had decided to take on the cost of her artificial legs. “We have been connected by people all over the world who want to make the donation. But this issue is closed and I will take on the cost,” he said.
1. Maya Merhi touched people around the world because of ____________.

Before Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing, sea trash was not a global headline. During the search for the plane, hundreds of objects off the Australian coast regarded as aircraft remains (残骸) turned out to be broken fishing equipment or plastic bags. People then realized there’s more garbage out there than we think.
“It’s a good chance for people to understand our oceans are garbage dumps (垃圾场),” said Kathleen Dohan, a scientist who maps ocean surface currents. “This is a problem in every ocean basin (流域).”
The objects usually move to regions known as garbage zones. These zones are huge areas where objects gather but float freely. So it’s possible for sailing ships to accidentally sail into a garbage zone and come across rubbish.
That was the case in Transpacific Yacht Race in the summer of 2013, when the ships came across the trash from the 2011 Japanese earthquake that had floated into the Great Pacific Garbage Zone.
“There were a dozen or more reports about crashes, and the ships were damaged by the floating wood,” said Nikolai Maximenko, an oceanographer who has been studying the earthquake trash’s movement across the Pacific.
“There are some similarities between that and the Malaysian plane accident,” he said. “In both cases, the remains of the ship or plane were mixed with the garbage. We couldn’t find anything recognizable on satellite images. An observation system needs to be built.”
About 90 percent of the sea trash is plastic, according to Marcus Eriksen, an ocean scientist who works to reduce plastic pollution. “I have pulled plastic from hundreds of seabirds’ bodies,” He said. “Sea turtles and whales are also big consumers of plastic.”
“You can see the fish bite the plastic, so gradually, the plastic breaks into smaller and smaller pieces,” said Maximenko. “After it reaches certain sizes, it can be eaten and then quickly disappears. Marine life digests (消化) plastics, with disastrous con?sequences.”
So we must take action to purify the marine environment. But what are we supposed to do?
4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?
A. Many garbage dumps are built by the sea.
B. The ocean was clean before Flight 370’s missing.
C. Ocean pollution is very serious all over the world.
D. Aircraft remains are the main pollutants in the sea.
5. What does the underlined word “that” in Para?graph 6 refer to?
A. The ship crash.
B. The floating wood.
C. The earthquake trash.
D. The satellite image.
6. What do Marcus and Maximenko intend to tell us in Paragraphs 7 and 8?
A. They have saved many kinds of sea animals.
B. Plastic waste is a big threat to ocean creatures.
C. Sea turtles can digest plastics in the sea properly.
D. They have carefully observed the fish9 s eating habits.
C
Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the largest meat-eating dinosaurs on the planet, had an “air conditioner” in its head, suggest scientists from the University of Missouri and University of Florida. Actually, they are challenging over a century of previous belief. In the past, scientists believed two large holes in the roof of a Tyrannosaurus rex’s head were filled with muscles that assisted with jaw movements.
But that statement puzzled Casey Holliday, a professor of anatomy (解剖学) and lead researcher on the study. “It’s really strange for a muscle to come up from the jaw, make a 90-degree turn, and go along the roof of the head,” Holliday said. “Yet, we now have a lot of convincing evidence for blood vessels (血管) in this area, based on our work with alligators (短吻鳄) and other reptiles.”
Using thermal imaging devices (热成像设备), researchers examined alligators at the Alligator Farm Zoological Park in Florida. They believe their evidence offers a new theory and insight into the anatomy of a Tyrannosaurus rex’s head. “An alligator’s body heat depends on its environment, said Kent Vliet, a professor at the University of Florida’s Department of Biology. “Therefore, we noticed when it was cooler and the alligators were trying to warm up, our thermal imaging showed big hot spots in these holes in the roof of their heads, which means there is a rise in temperature. Yet, later in the day when it was warmer, the holes appeared dark, like they were turned off to keep cool. This has proved that alligators have blood vessels in their heads to make the change of body heat possible.”
Holliday and his team took their thermal imaging data and examined fossils of dinosaurs and crocodiles to see how the holes in their heads changed over time. “We know that, like the Tyrannosaurus rex, alligators have holes in the roof of their heads, which are filled with blood vessels instead of muscles,” said Larry Witmer, a professor of anatomy at Ohio University. “Yet, for over 100 years we’ve been holding a wrong opinion. But now we find the early theory about the anatomy of the Tyrannosaurus rex’s head is far from the truth.”
7. What is Casey Holliday’s attitude towards the previous theory about the two holes?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective.
C. Supporting. D. Uninterested.
8. According to Paragraph 3, an alligator ____________.
A. has a higher body heat in summer
B. tries to warm up its body in a cold place
C. can get used to various living conditions
D. can be easily recognized with big spots on its head
9. What’s the function of the blood vessels in an alligator’s head?
A. To keep the alligator’s head warm.
B. To control the alligator’s blood pressure.
C. To locate animals for the alligator to eat.
D. To help the alligator adjust to different tem?peratures.
10. How did Holliday and his team prove the old belief to be wrong?
A. By analyzing their thermal imaging data and fossils.
B. By observing the muscles of alligators’ heads.
C. By studying the structure of dead animals.
D. By doing researches on alligators.

A sidewalk sale is an outdoor sales event that retailers (零售商) hold to get rid of end-of-season goods. In sidewalk sales, goods are always placed outside the storefront. 11 This is where the name for the sale originates.
Any type of retail business may have a sidewalk sale. In general though, clothing retailers and book retailers are among the most likely retailers to have this type of sale. Electronic and luxury goods retailers don’t usually have sidewalk sales. 12
The only security a small sidewalk sale may have is a cashier watching from inside the store’s window. 13 But most of these outdoor sales are set up for customers to pay for their purchases indoors in the store.
A sidewalk sale for a clothing retailer could be as simple as several racks (架子) of clothes and some boxes of accessories (配饰) all marked down by 50% or 40%. 14 Some sidewalk sales may even involve an entire shopping center.
15 Customers usually like sidewalk sales because they can look for bargains without having to enter the store. Sidewalk sales are also convenient for people that are walking dogs or pushing baby carriages. Having a sidewalk sale is also a great way for retailers to please regular customers as well as to reduce seasonal stock by large amounts.
A. Both buyers and sellers like sidewalk sales.
B. Outside the entrances of most shops are usually sidewalks.
C. So summer is a great time to mark down goods that haven’t sold.
D. But when there’re customers in the store, the cashier gets distracted.
E. Some may have a table set up outdoors with a cash box used to make change.
F. A bookstore’s sidewalk sale may sell shelves of books organized by discount prices.
G. It is because their goods are expensive and may be easy to steal when placed outdoors.

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Elijah Raine sat writing his name into the hard- packed dirt with a pointed stick. High on a hill, all he could hear was the cry of a hawk (鹰) flying overhead.
“Elijah!” his mother called. Elijah glared at the yellow farmhouse that was now supposed to be his home. His mother stood in the doorway. As he finished the last letter, he noticed something in the “h” he had written. Something metal shone in the rosy sunlight. Elijah picked it up — It’s an old key. He stuck it in his pocket and walked down the hill.
Grandpa Joseph had passed away the year before, leaving the house and farm to his daughter Rebeccah, Elijah’s mother. Elijah had hoped that she would just sell it and use the money to buy a house in the city. However, she had chosen to quit her job at the newspaper and move to the farm. Elijah had been very unhappy about leaving his friends, his school, and the apartment where he had always lived.
In the city, dinnertime had always been an oppor?tunity for conversation between Elijah and his mother. Here, though, he had nothing to say. He knew his silence hurt his mother, but surely it was better than the angry stream of words that lay in wait behind it. It was best to keep quiet. After dinner, he quickly whispered, “Thanks,” and went to his room.
Later, he went down the old stairs to look for something to read. In the deep silence, his mother sat alone on the living-room sofa. On her lap lay a photograph album. Looking up, she smiled hopefully and said, “See what I found in the attic (阁楼)?” He nodded but remained standing at the bottom of the stairs. Elijah put his hands into his pockets and shrugged (耸肩). He felt the old key. Then he glanced down at the photograph album. But something else caught his eye. ‘’What’s that?” he asked, pointing to a painted wooden box in front of his mother.

1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

读后续写 (One possible version)
Paragraph 1:
　“It’s a silent music box,” Rebeccah said softly. She put down the album and picked up the box gently with both hands. “Years ago, when I was a little girl, my brother took the key away. He was just teasing; he didn’t mean to lose it. But he ran outside and dropped it out there somewhere.” She looked out of the window. “We searched and searched but never found it.” Elijah sat down beside her and opened his hand.
Paragraph 2:
　Suddenly his mother’s eyes shone. “That’s it! How did you ...” Her voice was shaking. Elijah took some napkins from the box on the end table. He rubbed some dirt off the key, and then he handed it to her. With trembling hands, Rebeccah fit the key into the music box and music started all of a sudden. As its sweet melody played, the mother and the son listened together. “It has been silent for a long, long time,” Rebeccah said. “It’s so clear!” said Elijah. “It sounds as good as a new one.” The silence was broken.
