Dry ice is CO2 in solid form, with a temperature of about -78.5℃. Unlike common ice, dry ice doesn’t melt（熔化）into a liquid. When dry ice melts, it turns into a gas. So when you see dry ice “smoking”, it’s frozen CO2 melting into its gaseous（气态的）state. Dry ice is a popular matter in scientific experiments. It creates projects that look cool.
Experiment: Healthy dry ice popsicles（棒冰）
This dry ice experiment will catch people’s eye, especially little kids’ because the dry ice is going to be used to make what the young love to eat. It should take you about 10 minutes or less to have a frozen treat to enjoy.
Materials
One large block of dry ice
A large spoon
Popsicle sticks
One cup of your favorite juice
A tall glass filled with water
Directions
Use the large spoon to make a popsicle – shaped space in a block of dry ice. You can set the ice on a piece of cloth or plastic on your table to do this work. Of course, keep in mind that it’s okay it it’s not exactly popsicle – shaped.
Add popsicle stick to the middle of the space so that when you pour in the liquid, it will freeze around the popsicle stick.
Hold the popsicle stick in place and wait a few minutes for your popsicle to harden. After several minutes, take away the popsicle from the block of dry ice and put it into a tall glass of water for a few seconds. Do this to warm up the popsicle just a bit. Otherwise, it will be too cold.
21. What do dry ice and common ice have in common?
A. Their state after melting. B. Their temperature.
C. Their usage. D. Their form.
22. Which material in the following is not a must in making a popsicle?
A. Water. B. A spoon. C. Sticks. D. Cloth.
23. What is a tall glass filled with water used for in the experiment?
A. To warm the popsicle. B. To harden the popsicle.
C. To cool the popsicle. D. To shape the popsicle.

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. He swam towards the middle of the lake, not realizing that a crocodile was swimming toward him. His mother, who was in the house, was looking out of the window and saw the two. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the boy became alarmed and swam back. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. The mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too eager to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, too aim and shot the crocodile.
Remarkably, the boy survived, after several weeks in hospital. His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldn’t let go.”
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they were made.
24. Which will be the best title for the text?
A. Scars of Love. B. Women Hold up Half the Sky.
C. A Terrible Experience. D. Don’t Judge by Appearances.
25. Hearing Mother’s shouts, the boy ______.
A. remained in the middle at a loss B. didn’t stop swimming forwards
C. swam back towards the shore D. was ready to fight the crocodile
26. Which of the following statements is true?
A. A crocodile attacked him when the boy and his mother were swimming.
B. The crocodile bit the arms of the boy when it reached him.

27. By saying the words (see the underlined sentence), the boy really wanted to show ______.
A. how deep the scars made by the crocodile were
B. what a brave and courageous boy he was
C. how many scars and scratches he had
D. how great and beloved his mother was
C
Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi（狗仔队）camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids（小报）publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities（名星）—famous people, worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B. C., painters followed Alexanderthe Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold – out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain（抱怨）about his lack of privacy（隐私）. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film – stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
28. It can be learned from the passage that stars today ______.
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
29. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C. Well – known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
30. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A. Availability of modern media. B. Inadequate social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances. D. Huge population of fans.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
D
Whether or not you believe Professor Stephen Hawking’s alarming theory that building a “strong” artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to the end of the human race, it’s clear that AI is reaching the point where soon it will affect almost every aspect of how we work with computers. We must get used to computers that talk back.
Last year, investment（投资）bank Deep Ventures attracted much media attention when it announced that it had appointed an AI computer to its board of directors to help make important business decisions. What actually happened was that the company used a program called VITAL to analyse potential investments in different business. But VITAL doesn’t attend board meetings or vote – it’s just a program. While it’s not quite the evil robot we see in science fiction movies, it shows us how far computers and AI have advanced.
Soon AI systems will be driving our vehicles, interpreting our facial expressions as we perform complex tasks, translating our voices into different languages and building other machines for us in factories around the world. But they won’t look like us or pretend to be human.
In the new film Ex Machina, a computer scientist is asked to assess whether a beautiful human – looking robot called Ava has human intelligence. I won’t ruin the film for you, but it occurred to me that one of the reasons we believe other human beings are conscious and have intelligence is that we’re told they are all the time. Indeed, if you stopped believing other people have minds, you would quickly find yourself unable to function in the world.
Google’s Eric Schmidt argues that we shouldn’t worry about AI, and that we need instead to redesign our education systems so that we learn how to get on with the machines. As powerful computer – based intelligences continue developing, we must let go of the belief that only humans have intelligence and consciousness. Just as we have accepted the reality that the self – awareness that makes minds possible exists within the animal world, we may soon accept that it can also exist
within the machine world.
32. According to Professor Stephen Hawking, human beings ______.
A. may be endangered by strong AI B. are still more intelligent than machines
C. will benefit greatly from the advances in AI D. will never be able to build a strong AI system
33. According to Paragraph 2, VITAL can ______.
A. attend board meetings to vote B. make final decisions for the bank
C. attract more investments to the bank D. assess the value of different businesses
34. The author predicts that AI machines will soon be able to ______.
A. control people’s facial expressions B. construct other intelligent machines
C. have a human – like physical appearance D. change people’s speeches into different languages
35. Which of the following would the author most probably agree with?
A. It is too late to stop the danger of artificial intelligence.
B. Humans should learn to live with intelligent machines.
C. Intelligent machines will eventually control the world.
D. Only humans can have intelligence and consciousness.

Suggestions that you should read books
36 If you don’t believe me, please consider these compelling（令人信服的）reasons to read more books.
You will optimize（使最优化）your brain power.
This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television requires no thought process. Reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp (even in old age).
37
Sometimes our daily life can start to feel dull, dry or sad. At times like this, I like to dive into a
good fiction book for a much – needed escape into another world, where I can forget about whatever problems are stressing me out. You’ll come back refreshed after your mini – vacation to a fresh and exciting place in the world of words.
You will improve your vocabulary
38 I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this, if I didn’t actively aim to expand my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get awfully boring in a hurry.
You will reduce stress and relax into a good night’s sleep.
Exposing yourself to artificial light n your cellphone, TV or tablet reduces your body’s production of melatonin（退黑激素）. 39 You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better sleep – friendly alternative.
You will change your life
I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for books, I wouldn’t have achieved an awful lot in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity that I depend on as a writer, business owner, and a coach. 40
A. You will be absorbed in a new world.
B. The more books you read, the better your life will be.
C. If you’re looking for entertainment on a budget.
D. Therefore, if you do so late at night, it can make you difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
E. Reading introduced me to concepts like relaxation exercises, and the importance of love.
F. I hope these reasons to read more books can realize your potential with the power of reading.
G. The more words you can use, the better you will express your thoughts and feelings.

第二节 书面表达（满分25分）
One possible version:
Dear Wang Lei，
I’m glad that you didn’t cheat in examinations. What you have done is right.
It is generally acknowledged that cheating in studies has bad effects on our personal development, which suggests our total lack of honesty. You might share your ideas with your parents, trying to get their understanding and encouragement.
In my opinion, the purpose of various examinations is just to test how well we have learned and then make necessary adjustments. Therefore, we can benefit more from honest scores rather than cheating in examinations. What does matter is that we should be brave to face challenges.
To end this, I really hope you will work hard and achieve success in your studies in the future.
Yours,
Li Hua
