It is located at ‎601 Light Street‎, Baltimore, MD ‎‎21230‎. The ticket prices vary depending on ages, groups and the exhibits you choose.‎ Introduction The Maryland‎ Science ‎Center is basically a museum, but it gives everyone a chance to learn through experience and play, rather than just glance at an exhibit.‎ Activities You can learn about various topics, including outer space, the human body, dinosaurs, electricity,‎ marine（海洋的） biology, energy, and much more. You can also take part in the interactive activities, such as racing bubbles, digging for dinosaur fossils, using puzzle pieces to construct cars, and so much more.‎ The Davis Planetarium（天文馆）‎ At the Davis Planetarium, you can lie back in a chair and look at the stars while still inside the Science‎ ‎Center.

Take my flower beds, you killer weeds! Blackberry vines（藤 蔓）, this land is yours! Vines, climb up and kill my trees one by one! I’m done!”‎ Then I get up, lie down on the swing, and close my eyes. I’m sure I can hear the weeds growing and the vines creeping in（悄悄爬进）. I swear they are all laughing at me, too. They don’t even have the manners to wait until I leave there.‎ There is no denying that gardens are battle zones in the spring. I blame it on those April and May rains. Once the heat moves in, I can control what gets watered and survives, but those early showers even out（平均分配）the battlefield.‎ Garden tools alone make it clear that gardening isn’t an easy thing. My old cart seems to have the personality of a tank, and I’m pretty sure my spade is second cousin to a dagger.‎ By late June, both sides are worn down. I’ve given some of the yard over to the weeds — you just can’t win them all. That’s a battle for next year. There is no clear victory for me, but I’ve stood my ground for yet another season.‎ 6. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. A victory over weeds B. My love for the yard ‎ C.A battle against weeds D. The skills of gardening 7. What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 1 most probably refer to?‎ A. That heat moves in and evens out the battlefield.‎ B. That vines creep in and kill all the trees one by one.‎ C. That weeds take whole possession of the flower beds.‎ A. That the author gets exhausted from fighting against weeds.‎ 2. What can we know from Paragraph 3?‎ A. Spring is the best time to kill weeds.‎ B. Spring’s heat helps weeds to win the battle.‎ C. The rain makes it hard for the author to win her battle.‎ D. The spring rain makes the plants to suffer too much.‎ 3. Why does the author compare her garden tools to weapons?‎ A. To show the power of the tools.‎ B. To stress the difficulty of gardening.‎ C. To describe the shapes of the tools.‎ D. To provide ways of gardening.‎ 4. What can we learn according to the passage?‎ A. The author is exhausted by the battle and has finally given up.‎ B. The author has decided to battle with the weeds next year.‎ C. The author enjoys the battle with the weeds and expect another fight.‎ D. The author does not want to kill all the weeds since they are also helpful.‎ C Every one can try his best to achieve. We don’t need to be the best, but to tough out the limits of what we are capable of. I gained this belief from my third grade teacher, the most special, honored, trustworthy, and loved person in my life.‎ Mr. Myrus was always perfectly dressed and spoke with the belief that talking to eight-year-olds didn’t mean he had to sacrifice proper statements or grammars. And he was demanding but he wasn’t unreasonable or cruel. He simply felt that no matter what your best was, you should achieve it.‎ As luck would have it, I met him again as my eighth grade math teacher. I was not, nor ever will be, gifted in math. I remember my struggles in class. “I don’t know the answer,” I would say, “I can’t do it!” “Perhaps you don’t know the answer,” he would say quietly. “Do you think we might figure it out together? How do you know what you can do until you try?”‎ Mr. Myrus lived around the corner, and I would often stop by to talk while he worked in his garden. I knew there was someone who let me know that if I had really tried, that was enough.‎ ‎“Don’t be so hard on yourself,” he’d say. “Stop blaming yourself. Did you try your best? Well, then you’re not a failure,” he often told me these words.‎ Mr. Myrus died in 1978. I had never thought about his death. He was too young. I felt sorry. But when I think about him now, I don’t feel so sorry. He taught me to be kind, not only to others, but to myself. He taught me my own value. He taught me about honor, about truth, and about doing my best — and that all feelings and beliefs have dignity and deserve respect. And of all the things I know, this I believe: We can’t all be “the best”, but we can, each of us, be our best, and I know that’s true because Mr. Myrus told me that.‎ 5. What can we learn about Mr. Myrus according to the passage?‎ A. He is usually hard on the students.‎ A. He is responsible for his students and his teaching.‎ B. He is a person who isn’t particular about what he wears.‎ C. He sometimes is cruel and unreasonable to his students.‎ 2. What does the underlined word “demanding” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?‎ A. Strict. B. Serious. C. Critical. D. Careful.‎ 3. Why did the author think he was a lucky dog?‎ A. He had got a great belief from his teacher.‎ B. Mr. Myrus had been his teacher for eight years.‎ C. He became interested in math because of Mr. Myrus.‎ D. He developed a good relationship with Mr. Myrus.‎ 4. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?‎ A. Mr. Myrus thought it very easy to learn math.‎ B. The author preferred other subjects to math.‎ C. The author was ashamed to admit his poor math.‎ D. Mr. Myrus helped the author build up his confidence.‎ 5. What can we conclude by reading the passage?‎ A. The author may have become a teacher.‎ B. The author liked to recall his childhood.‎ C. The author believed he would be the best of all.‎ D. The author ended up being a man of self-confidence.‎ D In an unmanned supermarket, a customer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. There’s no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines” which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.‎ In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.‎ Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a company that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a computer, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”‎ Some people don’t like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they don’t work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well ‎ because the subject doesn’t really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on file, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.‎ It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.‎ But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint （限制） we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a person’s iris, the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.‎ 1. What’s the author’s intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To stress how smart machines work.‎ B. To bring in the topic of the passage.‎ C. To show the popularity of smart machines.‎ D. To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.‎ 2. Why don’t people like using finger-prints while using the machine?‎ A. They want to keep their mistakes a secret.‎ B. They don’t want to damage their fingers.‎ C. They are afraid of losing money in the bank.‎ D. They are afraid of being thought of as criminals.‎ 3. Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields?‎ A. They are not as expensive as they were.‎ B. They no longer invade people’s privacy.‎ C. People enjoy face and voice recognition.‎ D. Criminals are often hidden at airports.‎ 4. What is the author’s attitude towards the new technology?‎ A. Worried. B. Bitter. C. Optimistic. D. Satisfied.‎ 5. What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. An introduction to biometric machines.‎ B. An advertisement for biometric machines.‎ C. A brief description of hand scanning machines.‎ D. An analysis of biometric machines’ value in economy.‎ 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。‎ A garden that’s just right for you Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum（总和）of its parts? 21 But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.‎ ‎● 22 ‎ Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 23 However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.‎ ● Recall your childhood memories Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 24 —how being in those gardens made us feel.
