BAt the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could. More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967. “Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations — and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save. Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia. 4. What do we know about James Harrison? A. He saved 2.4 million poor people. B. He is a very grateful blood donor. C. He is to retire as a blood donor. D. He donates blood nearly every day. 5. What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?A. To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood. B. To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors. C. To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood. D. To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end. 6. What can we infer from the passage about Harrison? A. After his retirement, the Rh program will fail. B. He continues to contribute to the Rh program. C. New donors are easy to find in a short time. D. His DNA is kept in a library for future study. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The Man with the Golden Arm B. The Blood Saving Millions of Babies C. A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire D. A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type C Your teenage best friend could be good for your long-term mental health，according to a new study published in the journal Child Development According to the findings, teenagers aged 15 to 16 who had a close friendship rather than a larger group of friends they were less close to had a greater sense of self-worth by the time they were 25 years old. Those people with a very close best friend were also less likely to experience depression and social anxiety, the study found． “Close friendship strength in mid-adolescence predicted relative increases in self-worth and decreases in anxiety and depressive symptoms by early adulthood, ”the authors, led by Rachel K, Narr，a postdoctoral student focused on clinical psychology at the University of Virginia wrote. A past research has suggested that adolescent friendships are important. Friendships during the teenage years predict academic success and improved mental health. But the new research further explores the type of friendships teenagers have. “My hunch（预感）was that close friendships compared to broader friendship groups and popularity may not function the same way,” Narr told Quartz. "Being successful in one is not the same as being successful in the other." Many study participants did not continue to have a close relationship with their high-school best friend, leading the researchers to wonder what exactly was responsible for the mental health benefits. They suspected that the skills and ability to build such a friendship may be more important than the friendship itself. And as the researchers point out, those skills are not necessarily brought to bear in the world of social media. "As technology makes it increasingly easy to build a social network of shallow friends, focusing time and attention on developing close connections with a few individuals should be a priority," study co-author Joseph Allen said in a statement. 8. What is the benefit of having a close teenage friendship? A. Excellent performance in high school. B. Mental health by early adulthood C. A larger group of friends. D. A large social network in the future. 9. What can we learn about the past research? A. It helped improve teenagers' mental health. B. It was totally different from the new research. C. It attached great significance to adolescent friendships. D. It compared broader friendship groups with popularity. 10. What did the researchers think might lead to the mental health benefits? A. Not continuing to have a close relationship. B. Having a best friend in high school. C. Knowing how to build a close friendship D. Understanding the world of social media. 11. What did the researcher Joseph suggest? A. Concentrating on high-quality relationship. B. Broadening your social circle. C. Improving the skills of making friends.D. Learning to use social media. D In July 2017, the American space agency（NASA）admitted to not having enough financial means to send man on Mars for the purpose of exploring it. The news had the effect of a bomb after five years of communication and development for this space exploration project. And yet, a few months before this announcement, the two houses of the US Congress voted a law to guide future NASA tasks. Among these tasks was an inhabited trip to Mars in 2033. In the meantime, NASA is focusing on the Mars 2020 mission by building its rover （漫游者）, which will be equipped with a series of new scientific instruments. This new machine will also look a lot like Curiosity which landed on the red planet in 2012. The mission Mars 2020 aims to assess the livability of the planet and possibly identify potential tracks of life yesterday and today. At a recent press conference, former US astronaut Tom Jones announced that NASA’s current budget could not solve some technical problems for 25 years. Thus, it postpones the first inhabited mission of the agency to Mars in 2043. The subject concerned mainly mentioned many damages that will affect the body of astronauts. Indeed, the trip to Mars could be completed in nine months by considering the current technologies and the moment when the planets are closer to each other. However, periods of weightlessness that are too long may, in particular, cause a lack of calcium. In fact, it influences the bones of astronauts. In addition, this can lead to significant damage of vision. A quarter of a century is needed to develop new technologies to solve these problems. For example, there is the question of developing nuclear propulsion（推 进）systems. Indeed, it could reduce travel times. Finally, there is also the idea of designing something to allow astronauts to hibernate during the trip! 12. What made NASA put off its inhabited mission? A. Objection of scientists. B. The living conditions. C. The damage to health. D. A shortage of funds. 13. Which is right about the Mars 2020 Mission?A. It has been put off. B. It is to evaluate the possibility for our living. C. Its aim is to send man to Mars. D. Its purpose is for man to walk on Mars. 14. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The problems existing nowadays. B. The accuracy of travel times. C. The time to develop technologies. D. The update of new devices. 15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear? A. Entertainment. B. Health. C. Science. D. Education. 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。选项中有两项选为多 余选项。 Is Multitasking Always Good?

She was tired, but glad to be sailing along highway to where she lived. Although the local government had posted a snow alert(预警), the calm grey sky convinced Kathy the drive would be safe. “I figured I’d be in bed in an hour，” she says. Snow began when she was halfway home. Listening to the radio, Kathy learned the highway was closed because a tractor had slid off the road. She texted some friends and her mom, and tried not to sleep as she waited． After a couple of hours, however, conditions worsened. Strong winds began rocking Kathy’s car. She couldn’t see anything outside, and snow was drifting up her doors. It was, she says, “a total whiteout and rows of cars and trucks.” Late in the afternoon a police officer came and asked if she was in any difficulty. She said she was fine. She asked the police officer if there was any way to get past the trucks. “No, ma’am，” he answered. “You’re not going anywhere.” Once as it got dark, Kathy began to worry. She texted his brother Cris, telling him to drive snowmobiling buddy(雪地汽车) to get to the highway and find her. As Cris rode slowly alongside the rows of cars and trucks, people would roll down their windows and ask for help. “I was the first person they’d seen in six hours.” He explained he was picking up his sister. He told them, “Nobody’s coming and I can’t take you.” Near 10 p.m. Cris reached Kathy. He directed Kathy to pull her car onto the shoulder(紧急停车带) and asked her to get into his snowmobiling buddy. As they headed for home, the fun started. About five kilometres into the journey, Cris made a mistake. What he thought was a shallow ditch(浅沟) turned out to be a deep trough( 水 槽 ). Instead of coming out the other side, they just kept going down. They were trapped. And feathery snow was over their heads. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； Paragraph 1： At that moment, they had to take action and get out. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： When Kathy arrived at her home, her mother was waiting for her. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________答案 第一部分 阅读（共两节，共 20 个，每小题 2.5 分，满分 50 分）1-3 DAC 4-7 BDBA 8-11 BCCA 12-15 DBAC 16-20 FBDGA 第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 21-25CADDB 26-30BDABC 31-35ACDBC 第二节（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分） 36.the 37.has witnessed 38. independently 39. which 40. in 41.be pushed 42. congratulations 43. involved 44. making 45.greater 写作 共两节，满分 40 分 第一节： (满分 15 分) 参考范文 Dear Denny, I’m Li Hua, a reporter from our school English newspaper.

They began to worry and were convinced they had to stay in their snowmobiling buddy for the night. Suddenly, a good idea occurred to Kathy. She took off one of her clothes and burned it. Seeing the fire, people ran over and managed to pull her car out with all their efforts, making Cris ashamed for his refusal to others.Paragraph 2： When Kathy arrived at her home, her mother was waiting for her. She asked Kathy what had happened. Kathy explained, “I made a terrible mistake. But for others’ help, I couldn’t have been home for the night.” When asked what she would do when someone had difficulty, Kathy answered immediately that she would do anything to help others because today’s experience turned out to be a great lesson for her. （156 words） 读后续写具体评价说明 评分原则： 1. 本题总分为 25 分，按 5 个档次给分。 2. 评分时，先根据所续写短文的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次，然后以该档次的要求来 衡量、确定或调整档次，最后给分。 3. 词数少于 130 的，从总分中减去 2 分。 4. 评分时，应主要从以下四个方面考虑： （1）与所给短文及段落开头语的衔接程度； （2）内容的丰富性 （3）应用语法结构和词汇的丰富性和准确性； （4）上下文的连贯性。 5. 拼写与标点符号是语言准确性的一个重要方面，评分时，应视其对交际的影响程度予以 考虑。 6. 如书写较差以致影响交际，可将分数降低一个档次。 各档次的给分范围和要求 档 次 描 述 第五档 （21—25） —内容丰富,与所给短文融洽度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理。 —所使用语法结构和词汇丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不会影响意义表达。 —有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 第四档 （16—20） —内容比较丰富，与所给短文融洽度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理。 —所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但不会影响意义表达。一比较有效地使用了语句间的连接成分，使所续写短文结构紧凑。 第三档 （11—15） —内容比较简单与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔 接。 ——应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义表达。 一应用简单的语句间连接成分，使全文内容连贯。 第二档 （6—10） —内容较简单，与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔 接。 —语法结构单调，词汇项目有限，有些语法结构和词汇方面的错误，影响了意义的 表达。 —较少使用语句间的连接成分，全文内容缺少内容连贯。 第一档 （1—5） —产出内容太少，与所提供短文和开头语的衔接较差。 —语法结构单调，词汇项目很有限，有较多语法 结构和词汇方面的错误，严重影响了意义的表达。 —缺乏语句间的连接成分，全文内容不连贯。 0 分 白卷、内容太少无法评判或所写内容与所提供内容无关。
