Every morning our coach worked us as hard as he could for three hours straight, and then we played a match. On top of that we did activities every evening but they were a great opportunity to make new friends.‎ Eliza I was delighted when I learnt that I was one of those chosen for the National History Foundation summer school. Hearing my classmates read out their history projects inspired me and opened my mind to new ideas. The most productive parts, however, and the most fun, were the discussions that took place in my dormitory (宿舍). The twelve of us talked about each other’s work openly, unafraid of making suggestions for improvements where we could.‎ Ruby At Super Scientist Summer Camp, everybody took one key course in science. You didn’t get marks or grades for the courses so there was no stress put on homework in class, which was great. I picked up so many little tricks that have helped me work faster while improving the quality of my work. It seemed like memorising ( 记 住 ) lists of names by singing ‎ them as the lyrics of my favourite songs wouldn’t work, but it did!‎ Ethan I did a media (媒体）summer camp where we were able to become reporters. We reported news stories on television and learnt how to write news stories. We had to correct our work over and over and get it looked at by our instructor, who told us how to improve it. I’d been very involved in my school magazine for a while but we had to produce a whole newspaper at summer camp. I was nervous that I’d have no idea how to handle that.‎ 15. What was the greatest part at the summer school according to Eliza?‎ A. The training provided by her coach.‎ B. The match with professional players.‎ C. The suggestions given by her teacher.‎ D. The open discussions in her dormitory.‎ 16. One trick Ruby learnt at her summer camp helped her to .‎ A. come up with good ideas B. remember names effectively C. get high grades in her exam D. write eye-catching news stories 17. How did Ethan feel about his media summer camp?‎ A. Boring. B. Relaxing. C. Surprising. D. Challenging.‎ B Students hugged and cried tears of joy recently as they sat close to certified therapy dogs (持有执照的治疗狗) at Lane Tech College Prep, an activity designed as a break from the demands of preparing for final exams.‎ This is the second year the dogs and volunteers have been brought into the school from Chicago-based Canine Therapy Corps to provide ‎ much-needed relief for stressed or anxious kids.‎ ‎“It’s stressful around final exam time,” Assistant Principal Sarah Hanly said, adding that this week students are turning in final projects, reviewing and studying for next week’s exams. “It’s a selective enrollment (选择性录取) school, so a lot of them are in Advanced Placement (大学预修课程) classes,” she said. “We’re trying to get them to relax a little bit.”‎ It seemed to do the trick. A group of students oohed and aahed as they met Waffles, an 85-pound golden retriever (黄金猎犬), and rushed to put their hands on him.‎ Junior Sophie Cohen sat cross-legged next to Waffles, petting him and chatting with her friends and Waffles’ owner. “Just the idea of having a dog in school is good because the school environment is just about stress,” she said. “And then here is this dog. You get a break.”‎ Monica Synecky, Waffles’ owner and a volunteer for Canine Therapy Corps, said she often took her dog to visit high school students around final exam time. “This age group benefits really well from just the presence of Waffles or other certified therapy dogs,” she said.‎ ‎“Taking breaks is one of several ways students can manage stress or anxiety during particularly trying times,” said Jacqueline Rhew, who does teacher training in schools. She also suggests simple things like eating healthily, sleeping well, breathing exercises and physical activity.‎ Rhew also said, “When students don’t properly manage stress, it can turn into troubling anxiety. I think a lot of teens today put a lot of stress on themselves. Finals have always been stressful, but now more than ever, it’s the end of the world for kids if they don’t perform well. They think, ‘I’m afraid of being a failure. If I don’t achieve perfection, then all is lost.”‎ 15. What can we learn from Sarah Hanly’s words?‎ A. It is useful to review for finals.‎ B. Finals mean a lot to her students.‎ C. The students are prepared for finals.‎ D. The dogs’ performance is impressive.‎ 16. How did Sophie Cohen feel when seeing Waffles?‎ A. Curious. B. Excited. C. Nervous. D. Surprised.‎ 17. What does Rhew think of today’s kids?‎ A. They are under greater pressure.‎ B. They are poor at managing stress.‎ C. They fail to balance study and life.‎ D. They place too much weight on play.‎ 18. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Certified therapy dogs B. Dogs can help treat children C. How to manage exam stress D. School fights exam stress with dogs C Kelvin Doe was born to a single mother in 1996 when Sierra Leone was being torn apart by war. "Her self-belief made it possible for me to be alive today, "he once said. He has been a symbol of how the West African country is trying to rebuild and look forward. A short film about him has ‎ been viewed more than 5 million times on You Tube.‎ Doe is a self-taught engineer. When he was 11, he searched dustbins for small electronics parts that could fix local problems. Unhappy about the lack of a reliable electricity supply in his neighbourhood, Doe built a generator (发电机）using parts that were home-made or rescued from the rubbish. The generator also powered a community radio station that he built from recycled materials. He plays music under the name DJ Focus and employs his friends as station managers. "They call me DJ Focus because I believe if you focus, you can do anything perfectly, " Doe said in a video on the THNKR You Tube channel that proved a worldwide hit.‎ He had never been more than 10 miles from his home in Freetown until he won a national schools innovation (创新）competition and was picked last year for a trip to America ,where he spoke at the World Maker Faire in New York. Doe became the youngest ever “visitor" with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) International Development Initiative. He presented his inventions to MIT students, and lectured to engineering students at Harvard College. He has been on CNN and NBC News and was a speaker at TEDxTeen.‎ His mentor (导师）David Sengeh, a PhD student at MIT, said: “The inspirational effects of the original THNKR YouTube video have been amazing. It has had a great influence on Doe's life, on my life and on millions of people all over the world everywhere. In Sierra Leone, other ‎ young people suddenly feel they can be like Doe. ”‎ 15. What was Kelvin Doe enthusiastic about when he was a child?‎ A. Making short films.‎ B. Collecting household rubbish.‎ C. Making inventions by himself.‎ D. Learning science from his mother.‎ 16. What can we infer from Paragraph 3 about Kelvin Doe?‎ A. He is good at making speeches.‎ B. He has received wide recognition.‎ C. He learned a lot at famous universities.‎ D. He was inspired by many talented people.‎ 17. What can we learn from David Sengeh's words?‎ A. He thinks highly of Kelvin Doe.‎ B. He is doubtful about Kelvin Doe's abilities.‎ C. He pays little attention to the THNKR YouTube video.‎ D. He has played an important part in Kelvin Doe's success.‎ 18. Which of the following can best describe Kelvin Doe?‎ A. Sporty and smart.‎ B. Generous and strict.‎ C. Responsible and proud.‎ D. Creative and determined.‎ D This year's flu season is shaping up to be a bad one. The new type of flu virus is more severe (严重的）than most. In addition many people find the vaccine (疫苗）this year to be less effective, and others are wondering if they should still get a flu shot. The answer is yes.‎ Each summer, scientists try to make a best guess on which variants (变体）are going to be more common in the coming year. They look at data from other countries, and then they make the shot to match.‎ Sometimes a vaccine doesn't work well because some variants change too much. That's why in any year, even when you're vaccinated, you can get the flu. The shot is about reducing your risk, not getting rid of it.‎ ‎“Less” and "more" effective are relative terms, so we need to focus more on absolute risks. In 2010, researchers published an in-depth analysis of all flu shot studies. They showed that when a vaccine was considered effective, 1. 2 percent of vaccinated people had the flu, while 3. 9 percent of unvaccinated people had the flu. That's an absolute risk reduction (ARR)of 2. 7 percentage points. In studies in which the flu shot was considered ineffective, 1. 1 percent of vaccinated people had the flu compared with ‎2. 4 percent of unvaccinated people. The ARR was 1. 3 percentage points.‎ Let's say this year's flu vaccine is even worse than we think. Maybe the ARR will be as low as I percentage point. That's still not that bad. Given the millions who are likely to suffer from flu and the thousands of deaths each year, this is a big payoff in public health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that 9 million to 36 million people become ill with the flu each year in the United States. Somewhere between 140, 000 and 710, 000 of them require hospitalization, and ‎12, 000 to 56, 000 die each year.‎ No vaccine is perfectly protective in any year. But to minimize (最小化）your chances of illness, yes, you should still get the flu shot this ‎ year, and any year.‎ 32. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. Why some vaccines are ineffective.‎ B. Why people should get vaccines.‎ C. How a new vaccine is developed.‎ D. How people survive flu in summer.‎ 33. What can the ARR tell us according to the text?‎ A. How flu spreads.‎ B. The risk of a vaccine.‎ C. How dangerous flu could be.‎ D. The effectiveness of a flu vaccine.‎ 34. Why does the author provide the CDC's figures?‎ A. To show many people suffer from serious diseases each year.‎ B. To show flu vaccines are sometimes ineffective.‎ C. To show flu is a major cause of human death.‎ D. To show vaccines can still save many people.‎ 35. What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To give an introduction to this year's vaccine.‎ B. To persuade people to receive flu vaccines.‎ C. To report a threatening type of flu virus.‎ D. To explain the spread of flu viruses.‎ 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。‎ Ways to spend time with your family Spending time with family is important because it may benefit each ‎ member in more ways than you realize.‎ Spend time with your children Sit down for dinner so you can have family conversations. 36 Besides improving their language skills, you can use the time to share sound values with them.
