In the field of educational technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are more and more apps providing help for students.
PhotoMath
The new seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a step-by-step solution. It is now the number one free app on the App Store. A PhotoMath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the software causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why? It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
Price: Free
iHomework
Whether you抮e a high school student or a college student, there抯 one thing you抳e got for sure: a lot of homework. iHomework can help you keep track of all your homework. It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types, or based on deadlines.
Price: Free
Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is similar to PhotoMath, but it focuses on older students studying high levels of math and doesn抰 support photos. The service also produces step-by-step solutions to advanced topics, making it a popular tool for college students.
Price: $2.99
Homework Helper
Chinese Internet search company Baidu has launched an app called Homework Helper with which students can get answers to homework. Users post a picture or type their homework questions onto online forums (论坛), and those who answer the questions can win e-coins that can be used to buy devices like iPhones and laptops. The app has logged 5 million downloads, much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.
Price: Free
21. What is the problem of the app PhotoMath?
A. It can抰 recognize pictures.
B. It doesn抰 provide a step-by-step solution.

William Lindesay has been interested in the Great Wall of China since seeing it in a school atlas(地图册) as a child in England. He can vividly recall seeing in the “Oxford School Atlas” the Great Wall with its battlement symbol. From that moment, he had in his mind that when he grew up he’d go to China and walk along the Great Wall from end to end.
Lindesay’s about 3, 000 km solo run along the Great Wall began in 1987. Running the length of the wall was a brave expedition（探险）, venturing（敢于去） into sparsely populated regions where there was little chance of help if the runner had an accident. During another trip, Lindesay and his team ventured deep into the Gobi Desert. The explorers almost died from dehydration(脱水). In total, Lindesay estimated in an interview that he had spent about 1, 600 days of his life on the great Wall in all seasons.
Lindesay and his wife, Wu Qi, whom he got to know and fell in love with during his trips in China, had a farmhouse at the foot of the wall. During his exploration, he noticed some sections of the wall were badly damaged and covered with litter. Modernization and development were making the situation even worse. 揝ome people say it will take generations to change; I say we don抰 have generations of time. It抯 got to be much quicker, he said. Lindesay always carries a garbage bag with him in the wilderness, picking up litter along the way. Lindesay uses a garbage bag as his calling card. The cloth bag bears a set of nine simple guidelines in Chinese, which calls on people to obey while traveling or camping outdoors: 揟ake your own garbage home敁 Pick up litter left by others敁Don t damage plants or flowers, or pick fruit and lots more.
24. What inspired William Lindesay's dream of exploring the Great Wall?
A. Seeing a movie about the Great Wall.
B. Experiencing a war for the Great Wall.
C. Surfing a website about the Great Wall.
D. Admiring the Great Wall in the school atlas.
25. What does the underlined word 搒parsely mean?
A. Remotely. B. Rarely. C. Frequently. D. Largely.
26. What worsened the situation of the Great wall?
A. The destroyed ecosystems.
B. Waste caused by farms
C. The increasing tourists.
D. Modernization and development.
27. What sort of man is William Lindesay?
A. Adventurous and caring about the environment.
B. Determined and grateful to his wife.
C. Warm-hearted and polite to his teammates.
D. Considerate and optimistic about the life.
C
Do you know the proverb 搉o pain, no gain? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we re putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?
When we haven抰 taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It抯 no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious cycle (恶性循环) that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.
Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(使人分心的事). It’s not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation, while studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it抯 also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score of games rather than productive revision.
If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it抯 important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialize.
28. What is the author抯 purpose of writing the text?
A. To introduce effective studying means.
B. To encourage us to work as hard as possible.
C. To remind us to balance activities and study.
D. To discuss the importance of family company.
29. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A . Good ideas are needed in terms of progress.
B. Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.
C. Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.
D. With study techniques, revision is interesting and easy for certain.
30.What does the last sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?
A. One should learn from certain activities that interest him.
B. Playing video games is helpful for effective study.
C. One shouldn抰 study with the company of a video game player.
D. The more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get.
31. What should you do if you are studying in a noisy environment?
A. Give up others company at once.
B. Think twice before taking any action.
C. Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.
D. Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.
D
Most dog owners are convinced that their four-legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like 搒it, stay or 搕reat. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word 揻etch form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog's mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner's voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that 搈an抯 best friend does indeed know what the owner is saying.
The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took turns inside a special scanner(扫描仪). The owners then tested their dog’s language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick” while holding up objects the dogs hadn’t seen before.
The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.
Something even more interesting was that the dog抯 brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. 揇ogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food, says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.
However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. 揥hen people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because that抯 what we humans prefer, Prichard says. 揊rom the dog抯 view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.
32. What抯 the purpose of the new study?
A. To punish dog owners who treat their dogs badly.
B. To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.
C. To prove dogs follow owners order by listening.
D. To test out how dogs get information from owners.
33. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. Inform the result of the research.
B. State the process of the research.
C. Stress the importance of the research.
D. Introduce the subjects of the research.
34. How do human brains and dog brains react to words?
A. Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.
B. Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.
C. Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.
D. Dog brains show no response to familiar words.
35. What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?
A. Give dogs spoken commands. B. Teach dogs new tricks.
C. Include sight and smell. D. Encourage faster learning.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分）
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。
Perhaps the following scene is familiar to you: You smell a certain fragrance on one of your friends or colleagues. 36 However, upon applying said fragrance to your own skin, you are disappointed to find its scent is suddenly not so fabulous.
Although the concept of a fragrance smelling different on the skin of two different people may seem strange to some, it is actually something well known in the perfume industry. 37
First, the word 損erfume is most commonly used to describe fragrances for the skin; however, it can also refer to other fragrant substances. 38 Eating herbs and spices affects your natural smell, which in turn influences any additional scents you apply to your body. Also, people’s hormone（荷尔蒙） levels vary throughout their lives. 39 This also affects that individual’s natural smell and thus their perfume’s smell. Lastly, some people have a neutral’ skin type meaning their skin is neither very oily nor very dry. For such people, the scent of an applied perfume may seem largely unchanged. 40 Naturally, this changes a perfume抯 scent.
In summary, do not be surprised the next time a perfume抯 scent changes when you wear it. Make sure to always try a perfume on your skin before purchasing it to learn how its scent will react to you.
A. A great example is herbs and spices, which can be considered 揺atable（可食用的） perfumes”.
B. The industry is developing scents that react to a person’s mood to address the problem.
C. One example is estrogen（雌激素）: when an individual’s estrogen level is low, they tend to sweat more.
D. By contrast, very oily or very dry skin can accentuate（使突出） or mask certain ingredients in perfumes.
E. As detailed below, there are multiple reasons why perfumes take on different scents when used by different people.
F. The smell is wondrous to you, and you ask your friend or colleague what brand they are wearing so you may purchase it later.
G. They can be added to some product to make it smell nice.

笫二节（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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. He was a shy, nervous perfectionist. His fear of failure kept him from classroom games that other children played with wild abandon. He seldom answered questions in class because he was afraid he might make mistakes. Written homework, especially math, reduced him to nail-biting frustration (挫败感). He seldom finished his work because he repeatedly checked with me to make sure he hadn’t made a mistake.
I tried my best to build his self-confidence, and I repeatedly asked other colleagues for good advice, but nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was sent to our classroom. She was young and pretty and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, liked her very much. However, even enthusiastic, loving Mary Anne found it hard to deal with this little boy who feared he might make a mistake.
Then one morning we were working math problems on the blackboard. Donnie had copied the problems with painstaking neatness and had worked out answers to some of them. Pleased with his progress, I left the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, I found Donnie was in tears because he had missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face brightened. From the desk we shared, she got a box filled with many pencils and two erasers.
揕ook, Donnie, she said, kneeling beside him and gently lifting the tear-stained face from his arms. Ive got something to show you.”She took out the pencils and erasers, one at a time, and placed them on his desk. Donnie looked a little confused, wiping tears from his eyes.
Paragraph 1：
“See these pencils and erasers, Donnie?” she continued.

The eraser became Donnie’s prized possession.

One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
As a student, everyone has the responsibility to create a civilized campus. Here is what we students should do on campus.
First of all, it is important to obey class regulations and school rules. Second, we should mind our manners. More importantly, we need to show concern about others and lend a helping hand when necessary.
Let抯 start now and do a little bit every day, every hour, and every minute! We will be able to create a campus that is full of love and civilization.

第二节
One possible version:
“See these pencils and erasers, Donnie?” she continued. “They belong to your head teacher and me. See how the erasers are worn? That’s because we make mistakes like everybody else. But what is important is how we treat mistakes—we erase them and try again. That抯 what you must learn to do, too. She kissed him and stood up. 揌ere, she said, 揑抣l leave one of the erasers on your desk so you抣l remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers. Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a relieved smile on his face梩he first I抎 seen on his face that year.
The eraser became Donnie抯 prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne抯 frequent encouragement and unfailing praise for even Donnie抯 small successes, gradually persuaded him that it was all right to make mistakes as long as he erased them and tried again. Donnie began to answer questions in class, took part in classroom games and was never bothered by the fear of mistakes again.

M: OK, thanks. Well, did anyone call while I was out?

W: If you still can抰 sleep well, you should go to the hospital. I can give you a ride.
M: I just started a new job. My insurance doesn抰 cover me until next month.

W: Where are we? I haven抰 seen any road signs for miles, and there aren抰 any houses, either. I think we took a wrong turn back there.

M: Yeah, I think you抮e right. Pull over to the side of the road, and I抣l take a closer look at the map.

M: That was expensive. I only got one dollar change. When I was young, even five dollars would have been a crazy price for an ice cream.

W: Daddy, why is the sky blue?
M: Oh, honey卛t抯 a little hard to explain. There are things you don抰 understand about science yet.
W: Oh. I thought it was because the ocean is blue. The sky is always looking at the ocean, so it should be blue, too.
M: That抯 a very good idea, Ruby! That is very close to the real reason, too. The sky has a lot to do with the ocean. They抮e related, in a way. Did you ever notice that they抮e never exactly the same color? It抯 just like you and your brother Peter. You look alike because you抮e related, but you don抰 look exactly the same.

W: Hi, I抦 Alice. Is this your first day of college?
M: I抦 Chris. I抦 actually just visiting the campus. This is my last year of high school, and I抦 trying to choose a university. I got an offer from this school. My school fees will be paid if I come here
W: You must be really smart, then! Not a lot of people get full scholarships.
M: I抦 OK in school. The reason why I got the offer is that I抦 a basketball player.
W: I might have guessed that. You抮e very tall!
M: You should come to one of my games. Our first one is in two weeks.
W: Thanks. I抣l think about it. The last time I went to a game, I got hit in the face with a ball.
M: Was it a basketball game?
W: No, it was a baseball game. I had to go to the hospital.

W: I抦 trying to get a book published, but I don抰 know how to begin. Should I call a publisher or try to advertise it myself?
M: Maybe you should ask Mr. Wyatt. He knows a lot about the book industry.
W: Good idea! I always loved his English classes. He抯 the reason that I started writing!
M: I抎 like to read your book sometime though. How long is it? I usually just read books that are less than 200 pages. Remember that book Ulysses which we read in Mr. Wyatt抯 class? That was over 700 pages!
W: Oh yeah, that took forever to read. My book is not as thick as that. It抯 probably about half that long. I won抰 have an actually printed book to give you, at least for a few more months. The only others I have are computer files and my handwritten copies.
M: Can you just give me a computer file?
W: Yes. I抣l do that right away. If you are going to read it, I need your honest opinion though. It is the only way I can get better.
Text 9
W: I read an interesting article the other day. It had a lot of data on how people get their news. Did you know that in the United States, only 5% of people get their news from the radio?
M: That makes sense. I only listen to music on the radio. Are most people getting their news from the newspaper or television instead?
W: Only 1% more people get it from newspapers, but most people get it from the Internet actually.
M: Wow, really? I would have thought that people preferred getting news from the television. What about other countries? Are they the same?
W: Well, the article spoke about a few countries. France, Germany and Italy actually have the highest rates of television news watchers. Of those in the study, Japan had the most newspaper readers.
M: That is really interesting. I don抰 think I know a single person our age who listens to radio news either. My grandparents and their generation are the ones who grew up with that.
W: It抯 amazing how our technology has changed many things about day to day life. I bet in one hundred years, people will get their news from something we can抰 even dream of.

W: Good morning, students. These are your morning announcements for Monday, December 10th.
The last of our midterm tests will be held this week from the 12th to the 14th. However, there has been a slight change to the dates and the places of the exams. Last year, the English exams were on Wednesday, the math exams on Thursday, and the history exams were held on Friday. This year the teachers have agreed, after listening to students suggestions, to switch the dates of the math and history exams. As for the places, please check the message board in the main hall, or ask your teachers for a schedule. Tomorrow, we will have a special guest coming to visit us just before our Christmas concert. As you know, one of our previous graduates won a gold medal in the last Olympics. He will be here to sign shirts and take pictures with students after an introduction by our P.E. teacher. Finally, the headmaster asks you to remind your parents to get here early for the concert. Although there will be enough seating in the gym, the parking lot gets full very quickly. That抯 all for the announcements. Have a good week, everyone!
