The boy hesitated, twisting his fingers. “Maybe,” he said quietly.

Joy Mangano was 33 and divorced. She had three kids under age 7, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think. I don’t know how I’m going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.
But she had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There’s gotta be a better way.”
How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markets.
Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷) buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if they’d let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great item.”
So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took chance on her. “I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”
Today she’s president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Mangano’s small home.
B. Mangano’s work experience.
C. Mangano’s unhappy marriage.
D. Mangano’s hard living conditions.
5. Mangano sold the mop successfully with the help of .

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband (腕带). The device, worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would use about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should
open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
8. Driver Alert is a device that can .
A. keep drivers asleep
B. change drivers’ response accuracy
C. reduce the possibility of accidents
D. protect drivers when accidents happen
9. What does the underlined word “fatigue” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Illness. B. Tiredness.
C. Carelessness. D. Impoliteness.
10. How does Driver Alert work?
A. By being used as a nonstop alarm all the time.
B. By squeezing the steering wheel on the way,
C. By reminding or warning drivers if necessary.
D. By being worn on drivers’ hands every moment.
11. What do we know about Driver Alert?
A. It must be fixed on the driver’s cars.
B. It aims to prevent drivers from sleeping.
C. It has gone through testing at laboratories.
D. It isn’t available to drivers at the moment
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】本文介绍了一个旨在于减少由于司机疲劳驾驶而导致事故的装置Driver Alert,详细说明了它的工作原理和具体作用。
8. C
细节题。根据文章第二段1,2行The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness.可知这项装置旨在于减少由于疲惫而导致的事故。故C正确。
9. B
词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness.再根据下句的accidents that are related to fatigue.可知划线词指的是“tiredness",故选B。
10. C
细节题。根据文章第三段前3行The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel.可知C项正确。
11. D
推理判断题。根据最后一段中If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.可知现在司机还不可以使用。故选D。

Conventional wisdom says that hardship can make us old before our time. In fact, a new study suggests that violence not only leaves long-term scars on children’s bodies, but also changes their DNA, causing changes that are equal to seven to ten years of premature aging.
Scientists measured this by studying the ends of children’s chromosomes (染色体), called telomeres (端粒), says Idan Shalev, lead author of a study published in Molecular Psychiatry.
Telomeres are special DNA sequences (序列) which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating. They get shorter each time a cell divides, until a cell cannot divide any more and dies.
Several factors have been found to shorten telomeres, including smoking, radiation and psychological stresses such as being treated badly when young and taking care of a chronically ill person.
In this study, researchers examined whether exposure to violence could make children’s telomeres shorten faster than normal. They interviewed the mothers of 236 children at ages 5, 7 and 10, asking whether the youngsters had been exposed to domestic violence between the mother and her
partner; physical maltreatment by an adult; or bullying. Researchers measured the children’s telomeres-in cells obtained by wiping the insides of their cheeks-at ages 5 and 10.
Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes, the study suggests, these kids could be expected to develop diseases of aging, such as heart attacks or memory loss, seven to 10 years earlier than their peers.
Shalev says there is hope for these kids. His study found that, in rare cases, telomeres can lengthen. Better nutrition, exercise and stress reduction three things that may be able to lengthen telomeres, he says.
The study confirms a small but growing number of studies suggesting that early childhood a adversity imprints itself in our chromosomes, says Charles Nelson, a professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at Harvard Medical School.
12. The new study found that .
A. hardship can change a child’s memory
B. violence can speed up a child’s aging
C. violence leaves scars on a child’s mind
D. hardship has an effect on a child’s mind
13. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Telomeres. B. Children.
C. Chromosomes. D. DNA sequences.
14. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Violence can cause quick cell death in children’s body.
B. Telomeres can help prevent chromosomes from separating.
C. Children who have shorter telomeres have heart attacks later.
D. Being treated badly will make a child’s telomeres shorten faster.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Violence and Telomeres
B. The Function of Telomeres
C. Violence Makes Children Aging
D. DNA Influences Children’s Growth
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】本文主要讲述暴力不仅对孩子的身体有长久的影响,还会引起DNA变化,导致过早老化。
12. B
13. A
词义猜测题。由文中的“Telomeres are special DNA sequences which prevent the DNA in chromosomes from separating.”可知,“they”指的是Telomeres。
14. D
推理判断题。根据第六段中Telomeres shortened faster in kids exposed to two or more types of violence, says Shalev. Unless that pattern changes,可知被虐待会使孩子的Telomeres缩短速度更快。故选D。
15. C
标题归纳题。文中主要讲的是一项新研究表明,暴力不仅在孩子的身体上留下长期的伤疤,而且还会改变孩子的DNA,导致其过早衰老。故C项作为标题最佳

17. A
根据上句:一些孩子得到美洲的零花钱。与之相对应的是:另一些孩子得到每月的零花钱。some―――others―――,一些―――另一些。可知答案为A。

19. F
根据上文:为了鼓励孩子做家务,只要他们在家帮忙,一些父母给零花钱。根据下句:他们认为在家做家务是家庭生活的一部分。此处的they应该指的是“Some experts",说明很多人认为给钱让孩子做家务是错误的,因为在家里帮忙是孩子家庭生活的一部分。故选F。

【解析】该文体是一篇夹叙夹议文体。讲述了主人公如何通过一个故事走出自己的内心世界,学会与外界交流,学会交新朋友,学会改变自己。文章包含正能量情感,激发学生学会重新认识自己。文章语言难度中等。
21. 考查形容词辨析。根据前文的sit in a comer for an entire day(一整天呆在角落里)可以看出主人公是一个有些自卑的,所以book是他唯一的精神寄托和灵魂挚友,所以选择D。
22. 考查名词辨析。根据后文的语境分析see others play games(看其他人玩游戏)从这里我们可以看出“玩游戏”应该是在一个空旷地带玩耍的,所以选择playground。
23. 考查动词辨析。因为主人公内心稍微有些自卑,所以平时不太主动给融入到大家当中,很少加入到大家的活动当中和主动交朋友。所以选择joining(主动加入)。
24. 考查动词辨析。compared with(与......对比)主人公其实内心并不是不喜欢和大家交朋友,而是从他的内心来说,他认为他和别人相比而言自己是缺乏能量的。
25. 考查名词辨析。其实从内心来讲,主人公认为自己不善于和别人发展朋友关系,认为自己的交际能力是非常有限的。所以选择friendships。
26. 考查动词辨析。因为主人公打心底认为自己不善于交际,所以每次和别人交朋友的时候,他是害怕和担忧的,生怕别人会拒绝自己做他的新朋友。suffer 动词,表示经历…。
27. 考查名词辨析。根据该空下文我们可知,Bruce国王的故事对主人公的人格重塑有着重要的影响,所以Bruce的故事对他来讲是不可忽略的。
28. 考查动词辨析。Bruce国王战争胜利的消息对他来说具有振奋人心的作用。win是战胜,胜利的意思。
29. 考查动词辨析。从后文我们可以看出,bruce的胜利是有小插曲的,就是一个蜘蛛给了国王鼓励与鼓舞。inspired(动词,备受鼓舞)。

这么强大的作用。所以他需要观察蜘蛛的踪迹路线。

【答案】Dear Jackson,
I’m glad to hear that you have interest in painting. It happens that painting is my favorite. I always spend much time painting a picture like many famous painters. Among those great people, I like Van Gogh best. I think he is the most outstanding impressionist, and his works always leave me a large space to apreciate their beauty of art. Another reason why I like him so much is that he was a determined person although he failed many times during his creation. I can see his positive attitude and passion for life through his work “Sunflowers”, which teaches me to keep going forward regardless of the difficulties of life.
I can’t wait to know your favorite painters. Please write to me soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
