When I was in the sixth grade, I won the essay contest NASA held to name its next Mars rover (火星车). The essay I wrote was only 250 words long, but somehow it was enough to change my life.‎ ‎ I still remember that cold December day. Sitting in science class, I’d finished a worksheet early and got a Time for kids. In the magazine, there was an article about a girl who named the Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The article also talked about the essay contest NASA was holding to name its next Mars rover. Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word ‎ flooded my eleven-year-old mind: Curiosity. I raced home from the bus stop, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached.‎ ‎ Five months later, shortly after I had turned twelve, I was watching TV when the phone rang. My mom answered and told me that I had won. I screamed and ran all around the house.‎ ‎ I have always been enthusiastic about the stars. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out constellations (星座). They are always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. My grandmother lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, USA. They also kept us together even when we were apart. ‎ ‎ This December it will be four years of my life that have been tied to Curiosity in some way. I’ve met so many amazing people through this experience, from scientists to volunteers. My journey with Curiosity has shaped the person that I am today, as well as the person I would one day like to become.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎21. How did the author know about the essay contest?‎ A. From her science teacher. B. From a schoolgirl.‎ C. In a magazine. D. On the Internet. ‎ ‎22. Why did the author rush home when she read the girl’s article?‎ A. She thought of a name for the rover. B. She remembered something important. ‎ C. She wanted to contact with the girl. D. She was interested in the contest.‎ ‎23. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ ‎ A. The hours. B. The stories.‎ ‎ C. The memories. D. The constellations. ‎ ‎24. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ ‎ A. Clara made many friends after the contest.‎ ‎ B. Clara’s article greatly influenced her life.‎ ‎ C. Clara grew up after four years.‎ ‎ D. Clara’s life is meaningful.‎ B We are looking for teachers for our private secondary school in Nigeria. This is a Christian school and we are looking for Christian teachers. Accommodations are provided and salaries can be discussed. Volunteers are welcome to apply but those with teaching qualifications and experience will be first chosen. Subjects: English, French or Art. Those who teach other subjects are also welcome.‎ Applicant 1 Modupe Bvuma I have a master's degree in Managerial Psychology and know a little French. I'm looking for a job either as a teacher or as a personnel manager. I'm a Christian and live in Nigeria, Africa and I'd be glad to be given the opportunity.‎ Applicant 2 Rachel Moore I'm an Australian and have experience in working with children in the local church, although I don't believe in Jesus. I have bachelor's degrees in both Art and Education. I have relinquished my job with my pupils and now have settled in Nigeria, Africa to look for a job teaching English or French.‎ Applicant 3 Mwanyimi Bushabu I've been in Africa for 5 years as a banker. It is advantageous for me to teach French at your school since it's my mother tongue, I am a Church member and promise I shall keep the Christian standards at your school.‎ Applicant 4 Freddie Matthews I am to graduate from the University of Nottingham, England.

Freddie Matthews has gained experience in teaching in a university.‎ C Instagram is containing so many photos of food---now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.‎ I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!‎ The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人）Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.‎ The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.‎ The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life,” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people ‎ to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.‎ The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.‎ ‎29.Instagram probably is_______________.‎ A. a restaurant free of charge B. a campaign of “Food for Life”‎ C. a new marketing project D. a program used to share photos ‎30. “The Picture House” encourages sharing photos of its food to_____________.‎ A. raise the price of frozen food B. attract more customers C. create a new social media trend D. reward the regular customers ‎31. Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?‎ A. No Need to Pay. B. The Pop-up Diner.‎ C. Pay by Picture. D. Food for Life. ‎ ‎ D There is a Website called the “World Database of Happiness”. It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.‎ The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general satisfaction. It is a cliche to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.‎ Studies have been carried out on people who got sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they felt before they became rich. ‎ If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Obviously, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy.‎ Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term happiness. The website suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.‎ Nowadays people look to technology as another source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the website’s research is right, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.‎ ‎32. The Website World Database of Happiness is designed to ______ .‎ ‎ A. share stories of happiness B. find out the reason for happiness ‎ C. conduct surveys around the world D. tell interviewees how to be happy ‎33. Who is the happiest according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. An unhappy man who has won a lottery in Singapore.‎ ‎ B. A student who has three high-income part-time jobs in India.‎ ‎ C. A mother who stays with her family everyday in America.‎ ‎ D. A Russian falling in love with a soulmate recently.‎ ‎34. What seems to be the author’s advice about happiness?‎ ‎ A. Levels of happiness vary from country to country.‎ ‎ B. Making money is not the only way to happiness.‎ ‎ C. It is uncertain whether technology make people happy.‎ ‎ D. A good family relationship is the key to lasting happiness.‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude to technology?‎ ‎ A. Neutral. B. Dissatisfied. C. Supportive. D. Doubtful.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The world has a water problem which is simple to understand but not to solve. The amount of water in the world is limited. Water usage in the world has increased during the past 10 years. Usages will continue to increase as the population grows and uses more water. A third of the world’s population lives in countries that have too little water. 36 ‎ It’s strange to think that there is more than enough water available for everyone’s basic needs. 37 Some countries are much drier than others, for example Sudan in Africa. The UN says that people need a minimum of 50 litres of water a day for drinking, washing, cooking and sanitation(卫生). In 1990, over a billion people did not have even that. 38 Water shortages can mean long walks to get water, high prices to buy it, food insecurity and disease from drinking dirty water. ‎ Governments that try to improve water supplies need to think carefully about how to do this. Dams and other large projects now affect 60 percent of world’s largest rivers and provide millions with water. 39 ‎ ‎40 New technology can help, especially by cleaning up pollution and so making more water usable, and in agriculture, where water use can be made far more efficient. For millions of people around the world, solving the problem is a matter of life and death.‎ A. So what can help?‎ B. The rest along major rivers in the world have no worry about water.‎ C. Unfortunately, it’s poor people who suffer most.‎ D. By 2025, scientists expect this to increase to two-thirds.‎ E. It’s just not spread evenly throughout the world.‎ F. Meanwhile, electricity from these dams can provide people with clean energy. ‎ G. But in many cases, homes and the environment are destroyed as a result.‎ 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，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（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。‎ Last spring，I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program.
