Buttons, which are usually small and round and made of metal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes don’t fall off.‎ To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way. Babies are often described as cute as a button. Language experts don’t know why. But they do say this expression dates back to the late 1860s.‎ Here is another expression related to button: button-down. People often wear button-down shirts to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative or traditional. People described as button-down stay as close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving.‎ When buttoning a button you slip it into a buttonhole. A buttonhole traps the button. So, to buttonhole someone means you have trapped them in a spoken conversation. Now, let’s say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. Someone just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can’t take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying, “Stop ‎ talking!” Button your lip is another equally rude but effective way to stop a person who talks too much.‎ Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes one’s buttons. To push one’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. They find a person’s weak point and then they use it to upset them.‎ ‎21.What do you think of someone who wears a button-down shirt to the office?‎ A. Funny B. Fashionable C. Crazy D. Traditional ‎22.What will you probably say to get rid of a long and boring talk?‎ A. Be cute as a button B. Button your lip C. Push your buttons D. Be button-down ‎23.How does the fourth paragraph mainly develop?‎ A. By making contrasts(对比) B. By giving examples C. By listing figures D. By analyzing cause and effect ‎24.What does the underlined phrase “pushes one’s buttons” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A. Learns of one’s secret B. Shouts loudly C. Gets someone to lose his temper D. Argues with someone B For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spend on researching a way to stop the terrible disease.‎ But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.‎ Recently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.‎ The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune cells of sick patients to fight leukemia – a blood cancer that mostly affects young people.‎ The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, ‎ known as T-cells, which are then altered to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.‎ The cells are then put back into the patient, before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.‎ ‎“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release. Up until now, a drawn-out （持续很久时间的）and painful bone marrow transplant was the only option for many leukemia patients.‎ In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donor and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.‎ But with a recovery rate of around 83 percent–according to a news release published by the FDA–it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.‎ ‎“We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in the release.‎ ‎“New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and... our ability to treat and even cure many intractable（难治的） illnesses.”‎ ‎25.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Scientists take healthy immune cells from a patient and then reprogram them to help fight some cancer.‎ B. Much time and effort have been put to stop cancer C. Scientists have now found a new form of gene therapy which can cure leukemia.‎ D. The altered T-cells are expected to find and fight cancer cells.‎ ‎26.The underlined phrase “hurt down” can be replaced by____.‎ A. fight off.‎ B. cure.‎ C. search for.‎ D. treat.‎ ‎27.It can be inferred that ____.‎ A. new technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine.‎ B. the new therapy may save leukemia patients from painful bone marrow transplant.‎ C. the new therapy still requires blood cell donations.‎ D. science enters a new frontier in medical innovation.‎ C My youngest son jack has begun to learn the cello (大提琴). Every night, he carefully gets his cello out 0f its case and begins practising. I won’t lie; It’s not pretty. While he’s getting better every day, he has a long way from becoming the next Yo-Yo Ma.‎ This led me to wonder what Yo-Yo Ma was like the first time he played the cello. Of course, we now know him as one of the most excellent artists in the world, but I’m sure that when he first tried, he wasn’t much better than my son. I’m not suggesting that Jack is going to take the classical music world by storm one day. But he’s got to start somewhere.‎ Michael Jordan wasn’t born playing basketball, but I’m sure that he had to start somewhere. Warren Buffett wasn’t born making great investment choices, but he had to start somewhere. J. K. Rowling wasn’t born a writer, but he had to start somewhere. Bruce Springsteen wasn’t born a songwriter and performer, but he had to start somewhere. Each of these individuals is now famous as being at the top of their occupation. But when they first started, their skills would have been disappointing and their potential unrealized. It has taken years of hard work to realize their undoubted talents. But they had to start somewhere.‎ I don’t know what my kids are going to do with their lives, but they have a great opportunity to explore a wide range of experiences before focusing on one or two things that they can be crazy about and good at. It’s my job as dad to encourage them not to be put off by their bad first efforts. Because everyone has to start somewhere.‎ ‎28.We know the author’s son .‎ A. has no gift for playing the cello B. doesn’t like playing the cello C. cannot play the cello well now D. is sure to be the next Yo-Yo Ma ‎29.How is the third paragraph developed?‎ A. By setting down general rules. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By Presenting research findings. D. By giving examples.‎ ‎30.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. The author has no confidence in his kids.‎ B. The author will encourage his kids.‎ C. The author is worried about his kids，bad first efforts.‎ D. The author will give his kids freedom to do what they want.‎ ‎31.The text is meant to show that .‎ A. everyone has to start somewhere B. people should do what they’re good at C. a gift is very important in one’s success D. everyone can realize their potential with practice D Grandparents Answer a Call As a third generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.‎ No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend（趋势）is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com., 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.‎ ‎“In the 1960s, we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough ‎ or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”‎ Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.‎ ‎32.Why was Garza’s move a success?‎ A. It strengthened her family ties.‎ B. It improved her living conditions.‎ C. It enabled her to make more friends.‎ D. It helped her know more new places ‎33.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?‎ A. 17% expressed their support for it.‎ B. Few people responded sympathetically(同情地).‎ C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.‎ D. The majority thought it was a trend.‎ ‎34.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?‎ A. They were unsure of themselves B. They were eager to raise more children.‎ C. They wanted to live away from their parents.‎ D. They had little respect for their grandparents.‎ ‎35.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?‎ A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them C. Sacrifice for their struggling children D. Get to know themselves better 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。‎ You are one of the most familiar faces in class, not because you are funny or have great note-taking abilities but because you ask the most number of questions. 36. It is important to have a good way to ask questions. Here are a few tips for improving your questioning skills:‎ Be clear about what you want to know.‎ Be clear about what you want to know and frame your question accordingly.37. If you beat around the bush, your teachers won’t be entirely sure what it is that you haven’t understood, or need an explanation for.‎ ‎38.‎ If you are uncertain about a particular subject, make it clear when it is being discussed. If you put your question in context (语境), you can be sure of it. Because questions often open up new avenues within a subject, doing this would benefit the whole class.‎ Don’t hesitate to talk to your teacher after class.‎ ‎39. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about asking a question in front of your classmates, wait till the class is over. This will probably put you more at ease.‎ Write down your questions.‎ ‎40. They may appear when you’re studying, reading or taking notes. Note them down on a piece of paper so that you won’t forget to ask them later. This can also make sure that you don’t have any unanswered questions when the exam approaches.‎ A. Don’t ask more questions once a time.‎ B. Questions may appear at any time.‎ C. Being curious is not a bad quality.‎ D. You may think it is good to ask no questions.‎ E. Ask questions related to the context.‎ F. A question needs to be easy to be understood and to the point.‎ G. One-to-one interactions (互动) are always much better than one-to-many.‎ 第三部分：完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从短文后所给的四个选项（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。‎ In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about attack in other animals.
