One kid in particular would try to make me feel worse in every way he knew. For example, he would throw stuff at me constantly, hit me on the head, punch(殴打)me, call me ugly and stupid, make fun of me and, of course tell me he would beat me up if I ever fought back. It was like his daily mission.‎ ‎ And it was my daily mission to just get through the day. What could I say? It made my world very small because that was my main focus- just surviving. Everything else fell by the wayside. Unfortunately, that included any form of social life. So not only was my world tiny, but it was very lonely Looking back to that time, which was about 11years ago, my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone into that world of mine. I was too proud (and embarrassed) to get help. I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind, that would mean that the bully won. It would also mean that I was weak.‎ Let me just say this: bullying someone is a weak choice. The only reason why they come after you is that they think you won't do anything about it. Does that make anyone strong? Absolutely not. Be stronger-ask a parent, a teacher or a friend for help. Simply admit that you are struggling and need help.‎ You can put it like this, "Somebody who is weak and trying to build himself or herself up has chosen to do that by putting me down. The only reason why they are doing that is that I am nice and I haven't done anything about it yet. Well I am through putting up with this. I have basic human rights that they are trying to take away to feel better and that is just not OK. How do I handle this? I don't want the pain cycle to continue and I don't want to become someone I don't want to be.‎ ‎24. The underlined word "It" in the first paragraph refers to___________.‎ A. calling the author's nicknames B. making friends with fellow students C. hurting the author by using force or threats D going through a difficult time with schooling ‎25. What did the author do when he was bullied?‎ A. He just hoped that he could survive the day.‎ B. He fell by the wayside C. He called for help immediately D. He fought back bravely.‎ ‎26. The author suggests____________ to fight bullies.‎ A. getting used to the pain as soon as possible B. keeping it a secret inside and reducing your social life C. looking for help from parents, teachers or friends D. promoting the understanding of basic human rights ‎27. The author probably wrote this article to________________‎ A. admit that he had been treated badly at school B. describe how he got rid of his weak C. show how grateful he was to those who helped hit D. share his experience and ideas on dealing with bullies C On a clear night，you can see a sky packed with stars．But you can’t see planets orbiting any of these stars，even with the strongest Earth—based telescopes．Astronomers reported that they discovered seven Earth—sized planets orbiting a nearby star called TRAPPIST—1 in February．They had to rely on indirect evidence to tell them that the planets are there．By doing some math，they figured out the number of planets and the distance of their orbits．‎ TRAPPIST—1 is a red dwarf star(红矮星)，much smaller than our sun，but larger than Jupiter(木星)．If the sun were the size of a basketball，TRAPPIST—1 would be the size of a golf ball．This star is one of our closest neighbors，just like the moon to the earth in space．‎ When astronomers using Earth-based telescopes to study TRAPPIST—1，they noticed that every once in a while，it became slightly dim(昏暗)．They decided that a planet must be passing in front of the star，blocking part of the light．This dimming would come and go as the planet orbited the star，passing alternately(交替地)behind and in front of the star regularly．‎ By making careful observations，astronomers expected to get a rough idea of the planet’s size from the pattern of dimming light．But the light level changed often and not at evenly spaced (间隔的)times．The astronomers had to conclude they were looking at more than one planet! To get additional data，NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope measured TRAPPIST—1’s brightness nearly continuously for 20 days，catching 34 crossings of planets in front of the star．Sorting through the mess of data，the astronomers found that the innermost planet completes its orbit in 1.5 Earth days，while the outermost planet takes 20 days．Once you know how long it takes each planet to complete an orbit，you can work out how far it is from the star compared with the other planets．‎ The TRAPPIST—l planets are not alone．So far，astronomers have found more than 3，400 planets that orbit other stars．‎ ‎28．How did astronomers know the number of planets orbitting TRAPPIST—1?‎ A．They used their eyes． B．They used telescopes．‎ C．They performed some calculation． D．They made some guess．‎ ‎29．How does the author introduce TRAPPIST—1 in Paragraph 2?‎ A．By giving examples． B．By making comparisons.‎ C．By providing research results． D．By listing some numbers．‎ ‎30．What probably causes the star TRAPPIST—1 to be slightly dim?‎ A．The telescope’s failure． B．The cloud floating around．‎ C．The star’s moving． D．The passing planets．‎ ‎31．What’ s the main idea of Paragraph 47‎ A．The ways to get the information of the planets．‎ B．The introduction of the planets．‎ C．The distances of the planets to the star．‎ D．The astronomers’efforts of exploring TRAPPIST—1．‎ D It wasn’t long ago that the idea of printing something in three dimensions sounded like science fiction．But over the past decade，3D printers have become widespread．‎ Still，using a 3D printer isn’t always simple：The machine is frequently housed within a big box，and it requires technical software and，in some cases，a detailed knowledge of design．But now，a company called 3 Doodler has transformed the standard 3D printer into a pen，allowing people to draw 3D creations freely in the air——without the need for a computer or any software．‎ In a lot of ways，the 3Doodler works like a sophisticated hot-glue gun：A heating element melts plastic，and it is forced out through a nozzle(喷嘴)．The challenge with the 3Doodler was to find a way to make the plastic flow steadily and smoothly．‎ The heater inside the 3Doodler runs about 180 to 240℃ to effectively melt the most common plastic filaments(细丝)．But at that temperature，the plastic would take a long time to cool，making it impossible to draw in the air．As a result，the company added a cooling fan to the 3Doodler，which brings the temperature of the plastic down to about 140 to 150℃ when it leaves the pen，and the plastic hardens within seconds．‎ The pen is now in its third version，known as the 3Doodler Create，and it has been used for a variety of creations，including artwork，clothing and wallets．‎ But despite its early success，the product still didn’t satisfy the company’s original mission．It would be an awesome kids’toy，but it was too hot．The 3 Doodler Create goes far beyond the 53℃ maximum temperature allowed for children’s products，as set by the EU Toys Safety Directive．So the company teamed up with materials scientists to develop an entirely new type of plastic．‎ The new pen，known as the 3 Doodler Start，is designed for kids aged 8 and older. The rechargeable battery and 16 different colors of filaments make the pen ideal for not just fun use but also classroom use，the inventors said．‎ ‎32．Why does the author mention 3D printers at the beginning of the passage?‎ A．To show their popularity． B．To introduce the 3Doodler．‎ C．To encourage people to try them． D．To stress the importance of technology．‎ ‎33．Compared with a standard 3D printer，the 3Doodler is____．‎ A．highly productive B．convenient to use C．complex in design D．environmentally friendly ‎34．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?‎ A．The improvement of the 3Doodler． B．The working conditions of the 3Doodler．‎ C．The structure of the 3Doodler． D．The function of the 3Doodler．‎ ‎35．What can we infer about the 3Doodler Create?‎ A．It is not safe for children． B．It is not produced any more．‎ C．It didn’t bring in much money． D．It used to be popular with kids．‎ 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。‎ Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 36 ‎ ‎ One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 37 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.‎ ‎ Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons (神经元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 38 ‎ Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 39 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.‎ If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains ‎ may have smaller room for new experiences.‎ Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 40 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.‎ A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.‎ B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.‎ C. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.‎ D. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.‎ E. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.‎ F. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.‎ G. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My name is Timothy.
