Anthony Born on February 15, 1820, Susan B. Anthony was a women’s rights activist in the US. She spent many years fighting for women’s right to vote. Anthony was also against slavery, helping support the passage(通过)of the Civil War Amendments. She also lent her voice to the battle for equal pay and educational opportunities for all.‎ Anne Frank Anne Frank grew up in a happy family. However, things changed when Hitler came to power. Anne and her family were forced to hide inside a tiny house, where the young girl recorded her family’s fears and struggles. Even after all these years, her journal, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, continues to be popular with people across all ages and cultures.‎ ‎ Aung San Sun Kyi ‎ Determined to bring democracy(民主)to Myanmar, Aung San Sun Kyi founded the National League for Democracy (NLD). Sun Kyi’s open dissatisfaction with the government resulted in(导致)her spending much of the time between 1989 and 2010‎ ‎ in prison or under house arrest(软禁). In 1991, Sun Kyi received the Nobel Peace Prize. In 2015, five years after she had been freed, Sun Kyi’s NLD Party won a great victory in the general elections(大选).‎ Malala Yousafzai Malala Yousafzai was born to a Pakistani educator and poet.

Growing up in Pasadena, California, in JPL’s backyard, Reeves developed a love for everything related to outer space, and the lab was a regular destination for school field trips. Even as a child, Reeves, now as an MIT senior(大四学生), knew she wanted to work in the space industry. Her love of space was cultivated(培养)at home, too. At MIT, Reeves quickly found her place in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics (航空航天系)．‎ As a junior(大三学生), Reeves was selected to participate in the GordonMIT Engineering Leadership Program. The program focuses on leadership for engineers—people who may have high technical IQs but who may be not good at expressing themselves. Reeves holds the point that in industry, people have to communicate with other engineers—to explain their ideas and fit into the organizational structure.‎ In the second year of the program, students become coaches(教练)for the new students, which means a team coach observes and instructs the younger group. So Reeves thinks it’s really the secondyear students who are guiding the firstyear students into how they can improve as leaders.‎ Reeves has been with Women in Aerospace Engineering (WAE) since its beginning in her sophomore(大二) year. The group builds a community for women in all aspects of aeronautics. Last month, Reeves helped organize the first WAE Day, an event for 18 high school girls in the Boston area to come to MIT to learn about aerospace engineering. Reeves says events like these are especially important for exposing(使…接触) young women to the possibilities of the field.‎ Just as she says, “Being a person who has gone into the aerospace industry and has seen the lack of women, there are often times when I am the only female in the ‎ room. I think it’s important for young women and girls to have role models, and just see that there are women doing it. I have met a lot of strong female role models for myself in industry. A lot of our events are open to men as well. We want to build a community of people who support women in aerospace.”‎ ‎24.What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A. Reeves seldom visited JPL at an early age.‎ B. Reeves became interested in space from childhood.‎ C. Reeves is now a new student studying at MIT.‎ D. Reeves would like to study in the Department of Mathematics at MIT.‎ ‎25.What is the aim of the GordonMIT Engineering Leadership Program?‎ A. It is aimed at developing engineers’ leadership.‎ B. It focuses on increasing students’ technical skills.‎ C. It tends to improve students’ observation abilities.‎ D. It aims to train excellent engineers for MIT in advance.‎ ‎26.What is the attitude of Reeves towards women in the aerospace industry?‎ A. She thinks women shouldn’t work in the aerospace industry.‎ B. She thinks women have a higher IQ than men in the field.‎ C. She believes having role models has a positive effect on women.‎ D. She feels it is difficult for women to become successful in the field.‎ ‎27.Why does Reeves think the WAE Day is important?‎ A. Because it’s a girl’s dream.‎ B. Because it makes her a leader.‎ C. Because it helps women experience more about aeronautics.‎ D. Because it can strengthen the community.‎ C Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school(小学)because she was too shy to participate.‎ In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely--a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “creative voice.”‎ ‎“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it hadanything to do with why I felt so much imbalance(不平衡) in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”‎ Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a ‎ Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.‎ ‎28. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?‎ A. She had seven brothers.              B. She felt herself a nobody(小人物).‎ C. She was too shy to go to school.     D. She did not have any good teachers.‎ ‎29. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.‎ ‎ A. work for a school magazine            B. run away from her family ‎ C. make a lot of friends             D. develop her writing style ‎30. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive(决定性的) role in her success?‎ ‎  A. Her early years in college.           B. Her family members.‎ ‎  C. Her feeling of being different.       D. Her childhood experience.‎ ‎31. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?‎ A. It is quite popular among students.    ‎ B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.‎ C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.  ‎ D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine. ‎ D Although most hitchhikers (搭便车的人) are people, passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers. But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?‎ That is the answer Canadian professors, Smith and Zeller, who study the relationship between humans and technology, are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.‎ HitchBOT is built with cheap household items. Thanks to a PC tablet, GPS tracker and camera, hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general(普通的) public, but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks. The smart robot is even able to quote(引用) interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.‎ Not surprisingly, many people are doubtful about hitchBOT’s ability. Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone. Actually, they are all wrong. The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax to Victoria, a distance of 3,700 miles. It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple. It not only reached its destination on August 21st, but also had some amazing adventures along the way. It visited national parks, went fishing, went camping, and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride’s(新郎)speech.‎ In addition to helping it get to its destination, its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape (披肩) to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.‎ ‎32. Why is the hitchhiking robot built?‎ A. To help passers-by reach their destinations. B. To find out how people might react to it.‎ C. To see if it will give rides to strangers. D. To entertain drivers on their way.‎ ‎33. The hitchBOT can do all of the following except . ‎ A. talking with the driver B. dancing with people C. sending its thoughts and pictures D. answering any question raised ‎34. How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination?‎ A. Nearly a month. B. Over one month.‎ C. Two months. D. One week.‎ ‎35. What can we learn about the hitchBOT?‎ A. It was ignored by an elderly couple. ‎ B. It didn’t meet with any danger along the way.‎ C. It experienced a long and amazing journey.‎ D. It will be put into the market quickly. ‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong Are you new to experiencing relationships?

About a third of the population is 41 by mostly- or ‎ all-volunteer fire departments. It is also 42 that sometimes they have to pay for their own gear(装备).‎ I 43 this because I volunteer as a firefighter in Durango, Colorado. I responded to more than 50 calls in 2014, everything from 44 to car accidents. In that period, I spent close to $1,000 on gear not supplied by my 45 , things like higher-quality flashlights, knives, and better gloves, which make my 46 easier.‎ Yesterday, a 47 was introduced in Congress that would give a significant tax break ‎(减税政策) to those who volunteer their time as 48 responders. I hope the bill(法案) passes, not because it will put some money in my pocket ( 49 , hey, that’ll be nice.) but because it will ease(减轻) the financial burden on volunteers and acknowledge(承认) their time commitment. I believe it will 50 more people to help. And we 51 that.‎ In 52 areas where population density(密度) is low and calls for fire and EMS services are relatively(相对地) rare, it just doesn’t 53 to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7 (全天候). 54 , volunteers are used to fill in the 55 . We are ready to put our regular lives aside to help someone on what is the 56 day of their life. We have never met before, and might never again, but it doesn’t 57 in a crisis(危机). Without volunteers, the whole system would collapse(崩溃).‎ There’s a T-shirt that’s popular among us, reading “For Pride, Not 58 .” We volunteer because we know our 59 need us. Without a tax break, we’ll still put on our gear when the alarm(警报)goes off without any hesitation. But we’d appreciate one, and if it encourages more people to 60 us, it’s worth it.‎ ‎41.

It wasn’t until I 62 (personal) took part in the activity that I understood the real 63 (mean) of it.‎ I was in Senior 2 at that time. 64 that special night, all the Senior 3 students stood in the corridors (走廊) and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound(回响) throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself ! You deserve to win！”‎ ‎ 65 (see) everyone’s smiling faces around me, I thought of 66 famous saying from the 67 (America) philosopher(哲学家) Henry David Thoreau: What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.‎ Soon it 68 (be) my turn to be blessed(祝福) in this way, 69 also means I will have to say goodbye to my school.

My latest decision was made when I enter Senior 3 in Miss Zhang’s class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen careful in class and put down some notes. Therefore, I was never a good listener. I went on in my own way, ignore her suggestions completely until Miss Zhang had talk with me. He made me realize the importance of note-taking. From this experience, I have realized a good decision benefits from people. We should learn to take others’ advice and do the right things.‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ 假如你是李华，假设你寒假计划兼职，想应聘宜春市某旅游公司“一日游”导游，带外国人游 玩宜春市，请根据自己的情况写一封申请信。要点如下： ‎ ‎1、说明兼职原因；2、阐述自身优势；3、渴望得到兼职。 ‎ 注意：字数要求 100 字左右。开头与结尾已经给出，不算进总字数；可以适当发挥。 ‎ Dear Sir,‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 英语参考答案 听力1—5 CBBAC 6—10 CBBAC 11—15 BBBAB 16—20 BACCC 阅读理解 A篇 CCA B篇BACC C 篇 BDCA D篇 BDAC 七选五 BFCDG 完形填空 ‎ ‎41-45 DABAB 46-50 DCDCA 51-55 BBDCD 56-60 CABAC 语法填空：‎ ‎61. lower 62. personally 63. meaning 64.

Additionally, it is for 16 years that I have been living here so that I am familiar with many places of interest in Yichun, which is my super advantage to introduce more than books to foreigners.
