Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?‎ Jane Addams (l 860-1935)‎ Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson (l 907-1964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.‎ Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)‎ When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford‎ Law ‎School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.‎ Rosa Parks (1913-2005)‎ On December 1,1955, in Montgomery‎, ‎Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in,” said Parks.‎ ‎21. What is Jane Addams noted for in history?‎ A. Her social work.‎ B. Her teaching skills.‎ C. Her efforts to win a prize.‎ D. Her community background.‎ ‎22. What was the reason for O’Connor’s being rejected by the law firm?‎ A. Her lack of proper training in law.‎ B. Her little work experience in court.‎ C. The discrimination against women.‎ D. The poor financial conditions.‎ ‎23. Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the U.S.‎?‎ A. Jane Addams. B. Rachel Carson.‎ C. Sandra Day O’Connor. D. Rosa Park.‎ B Anki has introduced Cozmo, a little robot powered by an advanced artificial intelligence. Cozmo promises to be far more interactive（互动的）than any toy robot.‎ Cozmo, which can lie in your hand, has a “brain”—technically its CPU—that can process data amazingly fast. In addition Cozmo has a playful personality. He’s designed to react to emotions and even ask users to play with him.‎ Cozmo is not the first interactive toy to reach the market nor is it the first robot toy. What sets Cozmo apart from the other “smart toys” is that it has greater play value than those toys, which can become repetitious all too quickly.‎ ‎“Every interaction with Cozmo is different, so you do not put up with repetitive patterns and responses typically found with other preprogrammed robots,” explained Anki spokesperson Peter Nguyen. Because it has functionality that is similar to that of video games, Cozmo also can receive regular updates, which could extend its playability. Still, Anki has designed this toy to be ‎ just that: a toy. It’s not an advanced computerized robot. Its software is app-based.‎ Cozmo lacks the “traditional” human-like robot form factor of legs, arms and a head. But Cozmo does have an OLED screen / face with blue eyes, which in fact were designed to help it connect with its user.‎ ‎“I’m glad my kids are already raised,” said Roger L. Kay, analyst an Endpoint Technologies Associates. “Otherwise, they might become more antisocial if their relationship with Cozmo is more satisfying than those with real people,” said Kay. “Cozmo might encourage kids to learn more about technology or even inspire them to try programming and similar studies,” said Charles King, analyst at Pund-IT.‎ Yet this technology does promise to be more than a toy. “It’s a pretty cool invention and might have further applications, for example in elder care,” suggested Kay. ‎ ‎24. What do we know about the appearance of Cozmo?‎ A. It is small-sized. B. It is hand-shaped.‎ C. It has colorful eyes. D. It looks similar to a traditional robot.‎ ‎25. What makes Cozmo different from other “smart toys”?‎ A. It avoids repetition. B. It is first robot toy.‎ C. It can interact with users. D. It has app-based software.‎ ‎26. How might Cozmo help kids?‎ A. By encouraging them to value toys.‎ B. By exciting their interest in technology.‎ C. By reminding them to take care of seniors.‎ D. By help them communicate with others.‎ ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. A new way of inspiring kids. B. An advanced computer robot.‎ C. The development of toy robots. D. A playmate wanting to know you.‎ C Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes ‎ today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect（感染）other students.‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”‎ ‎“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎“Oh, sure.” ‎ ‎“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you? “‎ ‎“Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”‎ ‎“Sure.”‎ ‎“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”‎ ‎28. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to .‎ A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design ‎29. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.‎ C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden.‎ ‎31. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?‎ A. To help them to see their creativity.‎ B. To find out about their sleeping habits,‎ C. To help them to improve their memory.‎ D. To find out about their ways of thinking,‎ D In the mid-nineteenth century, as iceboxes became increasingly common in American homes, there were efforts to find cheaper and more reliable sources of ice. In the eighteen-thirties, scientists discovered a way to make ice, which is similar to how a refrigerator works. In 1860, there were four artificial-ice plants in the United States; in 1889, there were about two hundred; by 1909, there were two thousand. Ice now came from factories, not ponds, and it was turned out in three-hundred-pound blocks by lowering steel cans of pure water into tanks of refrigerated salted water. Kept below thirty-two degrees, the salted water did not freeze, but the water in the cans did. Those cans were then lifted from the tank, and the ice was taken out of them.‎ The ice blocks were delivered to home users, and to the fishing and chemical industries. On the railroads, trains carrying fruit and vegetables had cars at each end filled with blocks of ice. It was a growing industry.‎ The great trade began to fall away in the middle years of the twentieth century. The railroad business shrank, and, in the immediate postwar period, block ice lost out to home refrigerators and then to small commercial ice machines. By the nineteen-sixties, things looked very dark. “It was scary,” Dan Ditmar, an ice expert in San Antonito, told me. “Your biggest customers were cafeterias and country clubs, and you’d go out there and they’d say, ‘We don’t need you anymore; we’ve got ice machines.’”‎ Then the companies that survived the slump（a slump is a period when there is a reduction in business）began investing（投资）in newly developed ice-cube machines, and by the late sixties American ice was becoming a packaged-ice business. And packaged ice was exactly what the country needed. These were years of increased leisure time—more barbecues, more cars, and more houses by the lake. “Things exploded in the nineteen-seventies, Paul Handler said. Ice cubes evolved. They became hugely popular shoveled（铲）here and there into picnic coolers ‎ and fast-foof sodas. They became noisier.‎ ‎32. What happened at the beginning of the 20th century?‎ A. Ice was mainly used on the railroads.‎ B. There was a great need for iceboxes.‎ C. Ice cubes got popular in the US.‎ D. The ice industry grew very last,‎ ‎33. What was scary according to Dan Detmar?‎ A. The slump in the block-ice market.‎ B. The danger of producing block ice.‎ C. The social problems in the postwar period D. The problems caused by home refrigerators.‎ ‎34. What can we say about the investment in ice-cube machines?‎ A. It nearly destroyed the US ice industry.‎ B. It helped increase people’s leisure time.‎ C. It proved to be a huge success.‎ D. It caused a decline in ice sales.‎ ‎35. Which can be the best title for the text?‎ A. From ponds to factories. B. From ice blocks to ice cubes,‎ C. From iceboxes to refrigerators. D. From refrigerators to ice machines.‎ 第二节　七选五（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。‎ A role model is a person who others look up to. A role model provides inspiration and motivation for others. Role models send messages about their beliefs by what they do and say. 36 ‎ Role models are self-confident and happy with who they are. If role models show that they have great confidence, those who look up to them will, too. 37 They are proud of who they are, but not overly self- confident.‎ Role models handle stress positively. Being humans means having to constantly deal with stress and overcome difficulties. 38 While athletic role models may not win every game, they ‎ attempt to survive all kinds of pressure and learn from their mistakes when they fail.‎ ‎ 39 A role model is honest and doesn’t lie. A role model possesses integrity（诚实正直）and does the right thing even if no one is looking.‎ Role models show respect for others.

If you 62 (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full 63 envy.‎ Now imagine what it’s like to be the bronze medalist. One second 64 (slow), and you wouldn’t have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were 65 (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner’s podium at all.‎ You can 66 compare up or compare down and your 67 (happy) depends on where you’re focusing.

Change your focus.‎ For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best” _69 (come) out next year, you’ll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you’re not comparing it to best, you’ll feel no need 70 (keep) up with the newest thing.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） ‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第U处起）不计分。‎ Recently, the increasing of shared bikes have made our lives more convenient.
