He was inspired by The Radioactive Boy Scout, a novel in which a kid tries and fails to build a nuclear reactor. ‎ ‎ Taylor thought he could do better. Long story short, he wanted to build a mall nuclear reactor. And he did it at the age of fourteen. He received a Thiel Fellowship, which gave him $100, 000 to work on his own research. ‎ Sara Volz ‎ ‎ Sara Volz performed experiments in which she grew algae（藻类）based on their oil output for the purpose of growing them as biofuel. This research is especially important as the world ‎ continues to search for a way to lessen our dependence on non-renewable energy. She won the top prize of $100, ‎000 in the Intel Science Talent Search. ‎ Daniel Burd ‎ Plastic usually takes thousands of years to decompose（降解）, but this high school student Daniel Burd managed to do it in three months. ‎ ‎ In an experiment, he mixed plastic bags and a special kind of dirt together, and found that they did decompose faster. He then performed tests to find the bacteria responsible for decomposing the plastics. ‎ ‎ His solution only produces water and small amounts of carbon dioxide. He says it could easily be used elsewhere. ‎ ‎21. Who designed a medical instrument? ‎ ‎ A. Sara Volz. B. Daniel Burd. C. Jack Andraka. D. Taylor Wilson. ‎ ‎22.

A few are even helpful to humans.‎ Over 800 species or types of bats feast on troublesome insects that damage crops or spread disease. Another 400 or so bat species eat ripe fruit. These bats are very useful because they pollinate（授粉）flowers and disperse（分散）seeds. There are also a few species of larger bats that hunt small animals like mice, fish, and frogs. A very few even drink blood.‎ The blood drinkers are the three species of vampire bats. However, the vampire bat doesn’t suck blood. Instead, it makes a wound with its sharp teeth and then laps the blood up like a kitty. The animal victim usually sleeps through the entire process. While attacks on humans have occurred, the bats’ common targets are livestock and other animals. Interestingly, the vampire bat may become useful to humans. You see, a chemical in the bat’s saliva（唾液）thins blood and ‎ dissolves blood clots（血栓）. Studies indicate this could be a great aid in treating people with strokes. In the future, medicine may be made from vampire bats’ saliva.‎ Some people think bats are birds, but they’re not. They have fur, not feathers. And their babies do not hatch from eggs; they’re born alive. Also, bats have mouths and noses; birds have beaks. Scientists put them in a special mammal group called Chiroptera.‎ ‎24. Most species of bats eat ___________.‎ ‎ A. ripe fruit B. mice and frogs C. blood D. insects ‎25. Which of the following is TRUE about blood drinkers?‎ ‎ A. Vampire bats drink blood directly.‎ ‎ B. Medicine has been produced from the bats’ saliva.‎ ‎ C. The bats’ uncommon targets are human beings.‎ ‎ D. A chemical in the bats is of great benefit treating heart disease.‎ ‎26. What is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Blood Drinkers. B. Amazing Bats. C. Vampire Bats. D. Scary Creatures.‎ C The Globe was built in 1599 using timber from an earlier theatre, The Theatre, which had been built by Richard Burbage’s father, James Burbage, in Shoreditch in 1576. The first performance for which a firm record remains was Jonson’s Every Man out of His Humour — with its first scene welcoming the “gracious and kind spectators”—at the end of the year.‎ On 29th June 1613, the Globe Theatre went up in flames during a performance of Henry VIII. A theatrical gun, set off during the performance, misfired, burning the wooden beams and straws. According to one of the few surviving documents of the event, no one was hurt except a man whose burning breeches（炮后膛）were put out with a bottle of ale. It was rebuilt in the following year.‎ Like all the other theatres in London, the Globe was closed down by the Puritans in 1642. It was pulled down in 1644, or slightly later—the commonly cited document dating the act to 15 April 1644 has been identified as false—to make room for other buildings.‎ A modern reconstruction of the theatre, named “Shakespeare’s Globe”, opened in 1997, with a production of Henry V. It is an academic approximation of the original design, based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings, and is located approximately 750 feet (‎230 m) from the ‎ site of the original theatre.‎ ‎27. How did the Globe Theatre begin to be on fire on 29 June 1613?‎ ‎ A. It caught fire by accident during a play. ‎ ‎ B. It was set fire to by a performer by design.‎ ‎ C. A man put out breeches with a bottle of ale.‎ ‎ D. It was started by wooden beams and straws.‎ ‎28. In what order is the text arranged?‎ ‎ A. Time. B. Space. C. Importance. D. Flashback.‎ ‎29. According to the passage all the plays were performed in the Globe Theatre EXCEPT_____.‎ ‎ A. Henry V B. Every Man out of His Humour ‎ C. Henry VIII D. James Burbage ‎30. The passage is mainly about __________.‎ ‎ A. the popularity of the Globe Theatre B. the history of the Globe Theatre ‎ C. the function of the Globe Theatre D. the construction of the Globe Theatre D It is hard, it hurts —and yet more than two million of us in the UK run at least once a week.‎ Of course, some people run to lose weight, or to get fit, and these are great reasons. Running is also easy to do, it’s cheap, and you can do it when you want. All these factors certainly contribute to the fact that running is one of the most popular sports in the UK.‎ But for many of those two million runners, the real reason we head out to beat the roads until our legs hurt is more intangible (无形的) than weight loss or fitness.‎ Many runners become interested in times. They try to break the 40-minute barrier for the 10K, or run under four hours for the marathon. Yet, really, these times are almost meaningless. And as soon as they are achieved, another target is thrown out almost immediately.‎ The times are only the carrots we put in front of ourselves. But why do we put them there in the first place? Nobody ever gives a wise answer Deep down, we all know the answer.‎ Running brings us joy. Watch small children when they are excited, at play, and mostly they can’t stop running. There’s a great moment in The Catcher in the Rye when Holden Caulfield, caught in the uneasy space between childhood and adulthood, is walking across his school grounds one evening and he suddenly starts to run. “I don’t ever know what 1 was running for一I guess I ‎ just felt like it,” he says.‎ This will to run is born. In fact, humans may well have evolved (进化) the way we did because of our ability to run. As children, and even adolescents, we can respond to this natural call to run whenever the feeling takes us.‎ As we run, we begin to sense that childish joy, which is born to live a wilder existence. As we run, the layers of responsibility and identity we have gathered in our lives, father, mother, lawyer, teacher, all fall away, leaving us with the raw human being.‎ If we push on, running harder, deeper into the loneliness, further away from the world and the structure of our lives, we begin to feel strangely excited, separated yet at the same time connected, to ourselves. With nothing but our own two legs moving us, we begin to get a sense of who, or what, we really are. After a long run, everything seems right in the word. Everything is at peace. To experience this is a powerful feeling, strong enough to have us coming back, again and again, for more.‎ ‎31. Why does the author think setting time goals is almost meaningless?‎ ‎ A. Because those time goals can’t be achieved.‎ ‎ B. Because those time goals can be achieved easily.‎ ‎ C. Because people will be very proud once the time goals are achieved.‎ ‎ D. Because there will always be a new time goal once the former one is achieved.‎ ‎32. The author mentions the reasons for running EXCEPT___________.‎ ‎ A. challenging ourselves B. losing weight and keeping fit ‎ ‎ C. running away from responsibility D. bringing us joy and peace in mind ‎33. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards running?‎ ‎ A. Uncertain. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Puzzled.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Feeling everything is right after a long run.‎ ‎ B. Running under four hours for the Marathon.‎ ‎ C. Feeling separated from the world after running.‎ ‎ D. Breaking the 40 -minute barrier for the 10K.‎ ‎35. What may be the best tile of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Running to Keep Fit. B. Running to Break Records.‎ ‎ C. Running to Become an Adult. D. Running to Be the Real You. ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ ‎ 根据下面短文，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。‎ How to get along with others well ‎ There are a lot of different people in the world, but despite our differences we all want to get along. Getting along with someone isn’t about being their best friend or sharing all their hobbies. 36 ‎ Be a good listener. ‎ ‎ To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group. 37 First, examine the situation and the conversation, then say whatever you think fit. ‎ ‎ 38 ‎ ‎ It is not your job to change anyone else. It is not in your power to change anyone else. Let other people live how they want to live. You can only change how you interact with people. You can always maintain a good attitude around them so that your relationship with them might change. ‎ Keep your sense of humor. ‎ ‎ A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile ease tension（紧张）, whereas a frown（皱眉） can create tension. If someone teases（戏弄）you, try to laugh it off. If someone is frowning, smile at them. 39 If you are always cheerful and optimistic, people will cheer up when they see you coming. ‎ Do things for others. ‎ ‎ 40 It could be as simple as bringing in doughnuts for people or offering to help someone who is struggling to carry something. This will show you care about other people and this will make people want to be around you. ‎ A. Being kind is its own reward. ‎ B. Don’t try to change people. ‎ C. Listen to what others have to say. ‎ D. Be mindful of your facial expressions. ‎ E. It is about treating people with respect and care. ‎ F. Don’t take part in a chat when you have just arrived. ‎ G. Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely. ‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ On Toronto’s streets last year, Cam Levins beat a Canadian record that had stubbornly stood for 43 years. ‎ ‎ And 41 it was his first ever race at the marathon distance, it would be easy to 42 ‎ the 30-year-old from British Columbia is one of those super good athletes for whom things come easily. The reality, though, makes his record-breaking 43 of two hours, nine minutes and 25 seconds all the more 44 .‎ ‎ Levins was a(n) 45 distance runner in Southern Utah University and in 2012 became the first Canadian to win the Bowerman Award as the top make track and field athlete in the elite（顶尖的）American NCAA system. The 46 results and Canadian records that followed 47 even bigger things were just around the 48 .‎ ‎ But that great trajectory（轨迹）came to a ‎49 in 2015 with a foot injury. And the last three years have been so 50 that track observers waited for a retirement announcement, and Levins himself said he often considered giving up. ‎ ‎ But he didn’t. He fought back the doubts and finally recovered to put in the daunting（令人却步的）training mileage（英里数） 51 to get back in the game. ‎ ‎ And in the crucial final kilometres of his ‎42.2 km effort he told himself he’d come too far to do anything but keep 52 — and with speed. “I’m going to take back my 53 and get back to being the athlete I know I can be,” Levins said later. ‎ ‎ His result rewrites Canada’s men’s marathon record book, which hasn’t been 54 since 1975 when Jerome Drayton ran a marathon in two hours, 10 minutes and nine seconds. ‎ ‎ Knowing how easy it would have been for Levins to have given up during his years of 55 — but that he didn’t — is as inspiring as the record-breaking run itself. ‎ ‎41.
