Did you ever have that moment as a kid when you wished your drawings would come to life? Dream no more. A new company has developed a technology instead of just an idea on paper that allows you to do that. People can turn doodles (涂鸦) into 3-D objects thanks to the 3Doodles pen, the world’s first 3-D printing pen.
The 3Doodle pen starts out like any other kind of pen. You begin by drawing normally, with the nib (笔尖) pressed to paper, but then you lift it in the air and the pen keeps drawing. As you draw, hot plastic comes out of the pen, cools down by a small fan contained in the nib and becomes a solid strand (线).
Created by Wobble Works, this pen is quite different from a 3-D printer. For
example, this pen requires no computers or image files, and it can be used to create anything a person can dream up. How about a bicycle or a bird? Or what about a small Eiffel Tower? The 3Doodle pen can be used to create all these things.
“We wanted to design a 3-D printing device that could be used within minutes, without needing any technical knowledge, software or computers. We also wanted it to be affordable as well as fun,” said Peter Dilworth, co-founder of Wobble Works.
“We could in theory use the pen to melt sticks of sugar,” 3Doodle spokesman Daniel Cowen said.
In the 3Doodler Kick-Starter Campaign, Wobble Works raised more than 5 million dollars to make the product a reality! So why not get one and make your drawings come to life?
24. Which is TRUE about the 3Doodle pen?
A. It’s the world’s first 3-D printer.
B. It works like any other kind of pen.
C. It allows you to doodle everywhere.
D. It makes it possible to draw 3-D objects.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Peter Dilworth is the only creator of the 3Doodle pen.
B. The 3-D printer works with computers and image files.
C. The 3Doodle pen can be used to melt sticks of sugar now.
D. More money will be raised in order to produce the 3Doodle pen.
26. Which is NOT the characteristic of the 3Doodle pen?
A. Expensive. B. Interesting. C. New. D. Unusual.
27. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Get your drawing hand ready
B. Advantages of the 3Doodle pen
C. Magic 3Doodle pen in the future
D. Magic 3Doodle pen brings drawings to life
C
Eva Houston became a member of Westside High School’s marching band when she entered her freshman year in the fall, but after sitting on the sidelines (边线) during the first two games of the season, she came home and told her parents that she wanted to get more involved.
The 14-year-old, who has played the trumpet (小号) since 5th grade, has cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹) and uses a wheelchair, which makes it impossible to march like her bandmates.
“We emailed the band instructor to see what we could do for her and he said he’d be happy to get her into the practice, if someone can push her,” Eva’s dad, Kevin Houston, said. “Eva came to me saying she really wanted me to do it, and how do you say no to that?”
Kevin, who works in the IT department of an insurance company, leaves the office four days a week to push his daughter’s wheelchair as she plays the trumpet
during practice. On Friday nights, you can find him on the field during halftime and in the stands next to his wife, Vicky, the rest of the time.
Kevin realized how much it meant to Eva after he joined her in doing the practice. She turned to him and said happily, “That was so much fun!”
One of his favorite parts about the experience is that he now knows all of her friends and their personalities.
“When she says Megan did this, I can now actually picture Megan doing that,” Kevin said. “You drop your kids off at school and you don’t get to experience their day with them, so I’m very grateful to be part of her life.”
28. At first, Kevin tried to help his daughter mainly because ___________.
A. Eva had just entered the school
B. the band instructor asked him to
C. he wanted to get involved in Eva’s life
D. he found it hard to reject such a request
29. What can you probably see in the band now?
A. Kevin marching in front of Eva.
B. Kevin pushing Eva’s wheelchair.
C. Kevin cheering for Eva’s performance.
D. Kevin and his wife following the band closely.
30. What do we know about Kevin?
A. He has given up his job to support Eva.
B. He also plays the trumpet in the band now.
C. He helps Eva to practice every Friday night.
D. He has become quite familiar with Eva’s friends.
31. What does the underlined word “picture” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Imagine. B. Notice. C. Paint. D. Suggest.
D
Professor David Agus, one of leading scientists at the medical revolution, says that he believes that with our current technology humans have the potential to regularly live into their ninth or tenth decade.
Craig Venter, co-founder and CEO of Human Longevity Inc., says there might be no supposed limit to how long we can live, but that “we need to make sure we can support extra long life on this planet.” Huge advancements at the intersection (交叉领域) of medicine and technology, such as big data, are making these kinds of developments in aging possible.
Venter explained that when he first studied the human genome (基因组) 15 years ago, there was nothing for him to compare it to. For example, we now know that we vary about 3% from the 6.4 billion letters of DNA that we get from our parents. Ten years ago, Venter said he wouldn’t have thought that we’d be able to predict someone’s age from their genetic code. We also now know that our genetic code is constantly changing, he says. Men, for example, start losing Y chromosomes (染色体) in their 40s and 50s. “To help crack (破解) the big data code in medicine, my team have hired the engineer who designed Google Translate,” says Venter. “We’re using
machine learning to try to understand and translate all that data,” he explains. “We now have the ability to produce a photo of someone straight from their genetic code.”
Therefore, will all this data automatically extend our lifespan? That’s a bit more complicated. “We’re learning new things every six months,” Agus says. “These new things make us more complex. That means we’re never going to totally understand disease,” he adds. “But we don’t need to understand it to control it.”
32. What is the belief that David Agus holds?
A. There will be no disease in the future.
B. Our life expectancy will slowly increase.
C. Everyone can live a long life in the future.
D. Advance in technology can make us stop aging.
33. According to Paragraph 3, Venter tries to stress __________.
A. the discovery of DNA
B. the secret of the genetic code
C. the progress in technology and medicine
D. the intelligent machine used in research
34. By cracking someone’s genetic code, we can __________.
A. change his DNA B. break the big data code
C. guess his appearance D. stop him from aging
35. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A science magazine. B. A research report.
C. A book review. D. A travel guide.

As an international student, you are probably not as comfortable listening and speaking as reading and writing in English. Here are some tips to help you strengthen your skills in conversation.
Make friends with American students. Many international students make friends only with each other, which I don’t think is a good idea. 36 Besides, it helps you pick up cultural and social cues（信号）.
37 Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you want them to tell you. You will learn much faster this way.
Expand your knowledge. 38 If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well. This helps you overcome both a culture gap and language barriers – and gives you a great excuse to watch TV.
Become a tutor at your school. 39 ，you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood. I owe most of my fluent English to my years of being a math tutor in college. Tutors are also usually relatively well paid, so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills. 40
A. Learn from native speakers.
B. Once you have trouble in the U.S
C. It’s a win-win for international students.
D. If you have to explain something to someone in English
E. Learn which U.S. colleges welcome the most international students.
F. Read books, keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
G. Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English.

The first time my parents took me to my uncle’s farm in North Dakota, I was only 4 years old. “Valerie, this is Pal,” my uncle said. I remember feeling half awed, half 41 as he handed me a cube of sugar. The 42 ate quickly. I fell in love.
“Go to the yard and wait on the back 43 with your mom and dad,” Uncle John told me. I ran as fast as I could to the step and saw him 44 Pal to me. Then he gave me a 45 up onto his strong back.

We drove to the neighbor’s farm, and two children walked out 52 a tiny reddish-brown horse. “That can’t be Pal. He’s so 53 !” I said. My mother replied, “He didn’t shrink---you’ve 54 !”
Tears welled up in my eyes. I 55 then that Pal would always belong to the 56 of small children. I, however, would not. “I 57 you, Pal, and always will,” I said, 58 it tightly. That was the 59 time I had seen Pal. I 60 love horses, though I don’t often get a chance to ride.

Dear Editor,
Nowadays some students will immediately search for the answers online when they come across difficult homework problems.
A number of factors account for the phenomenon. For one thing, they think only in this way can they save a lot of time. For another, they won’t be punished by their teachers for not having finished the homework.
However, it may bring about severe consequences. Firstly, the answers posted on the Internet may not be correct. Secondly, they will become even lazier with time going on. What’s worse, they will lack the habit of thinking by themselves.
As far as I’m concerned, doing homework is a good way to review our lessons and develop our ability to solve problems independently. So we should take it seriously.
Yours,
Li Hua

完形填空
这是一篇怀旧美文。往事如风，斑驳了许多记忆，但刻骨铭心的人和事总会长存心底。四岁那年的夏天，作者随父母到叔父家里结识了那匹叫Pal的骏马，从此对马产生了一生难以割舍的情结。解答时考生应把握语篇，先完意后完形，同时注意时空变化，了解作者的情感态度。
41.C. afraid 42. B. horse 作者初次见到那匹叫Pal的马，经叔父介绍之后，仍对之心存敬畏，诚惶诚恐。对一匹高头大马又爱又怕，符合一个四岁孩子的心情，但心里明白叔父递给她一块方糖的目的，那就是让她亲自拿去喂马，让马对自己产生好感。
43. D. doorstep 根据下文step一词可推断，叔父叫她到通往后院的后门门梯去等候。
44. A. leading 根据下文推断，叔父是牵着马来到后院的。
45. D. push 叔父教作者骑马，应是先让她踩马镫，然后助推她骑上马背（鞍）。考生应判断出“his strong back”中的his是指Pal’s。Push，推，推动，象征意义为“督促，施压”。
46. B. yard 此题有意设置了一个干扰性较大的选项farm。 思维策略：一方面，根据上下文中yard，doorstep和the family等词可知作者骑马活动范围仅限于叔父家的yard，而观看拍照，发出惊叹之声的也只限于家人，并无四邻。另一方面，下文无延伸叙述作者当时活动空间的变化。根据常理，为确保安全，一个四岁的孩子首次骑马，大人会让其在有限的平地范围内体验一下，因此作者的叔父不大可能牵着马在整个农场到处走，一大家人也不可能一直都跟在后面围观。
47. B. rider 推断儿童之常情。结合当时情景，作者感到自豪的就是也能骑马了，俨然成为了一个“骑手”。句末的感叹号表示自豪。
48. C. Gradually 49. D. help 一年又一年，小小少年渐渐长大，他人稍加帮助即可上马。此处help和上文push表达同一意义。
50. C. fed 叔父将农场卖给邻居，那匹马也自然由邻居家看管喂养。
51. A. get on 此处和上文mount一词表达同样的意思：骑上马背。
52. B. with 由walk一词可推，两个孩子牵着马出来，马在人后面。
53. C. small 由上文的tiny一词推断。
54. C. grown 根据上下文可知，妈妈说的是：不是马变小了，而是你长大了。
55. A. realized 最后一段谈感悟。经过母亲的话提醒，作者才回过神来，茅舍顿开。
56. B. world 此题干扰性较大的选项是A。其实，根据下文“I, however, would not.”不难推断，作者此处要说的是Pal永远存在于孩子们的生活天地，而自己不会永远停留在孩子的世界里（不断在长大）。
57. C. love 58. D. hugging 根据下文，利用正反对比法将答案缩小在CD两项，然后结合语篇推断出作者这里表达的都是对马的挚爱之情，这种情感矢志不渝，动情之时自然会情不自禁拥抱Pal.
59. D. last 此题需要考生回头梳理时间线索。四岁那年第一次结识了Pal，然后每年都去，但有一年叔父将农场和马都转给了别人，从此自然不会每年都去骑马了。直到12岁那年再去旧地重游，这期间中断了多少年文中并未写明，因此考生不要妄加推断，更不能简单地做加法。很明显，12岁那年去了之后没再去，作者现在已是成年人（不知多大岁数）。
60. A. still 注意此句的时态和连词所表达的逻辑关系。用一般现在时，表示“作者现在也许人到中年或老年，这么多年过去了，虽然（现在）没多少机会骑马，但依然爱马。”though 和still构成让步的逻辑关系。
