Shea was born with a partial right hand, which restricts her ability to do things that other kids take for granted.‎ ‎“My mom went online”, says Shea, who lives in Muknowango, Wisconsin. Shea’s mother, Ranee, soon learned about a community of artists, designers, and scientists who are making big breakthrough with artificial hands.‎ Frankie Flood, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, was among the designers who saw Ranee’s online request. Flood obtained help from fellow professor Adeam Blair and their students, who were learning how to make designs using a 3-D printer. “We made a ‎ mold(模子) of Shea’s hand out of plaster(石膏), and then we 3-D scanned her hand,” Flood says.‎ While being fitted in Flood’s laboratory, Shea got to choose the color of her new hand. She went with bright pink. She now has a pink hand, a purple hand, and a purple and pink one, and can do things that she couldn’t do before, like peeling potatoes, picking up objects, and catching a ball.‎ Flood and his team have since built hands for six other local children. Indirectly, they have helped dozens more by posting their designs online so that people around the world can print them out. Flood is also working on artificial legs for military soldiers who were injured on the battlefield. “Without a covering, the artificial leg is kind of ugly and plain,” Flood says. “Soldiers want something that will restore the shape of their legs and make them look cooler when they’re playing sports.”‎ As for Shea, the aspiring musician can now play her violin with the help from an adaptive device that Flood’s team created. “Nothing is ever going to hold her back,” Shea’s father, Steve, told a local reporter.‎ ‎21.What do we know about Shea from Paragraph 1?‎ A. Her left hand is weak B. She is eager for many gifts C. She was born with a disability D. She comes from a poor family ‎22.What can Shea do with the help of her new hand?‎ A. She can do simple things easily B. She can play different kinds of sports C. She can build hands for other children D. She can make designs using a 3-D printer ‎23.What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Flood made Shea’s new hand alone B. Shea has hands of different colours now C. Soldiers like artificial legs though they are ugly ‎ D. Ranee made big breakthroughs with artificial hands ‎24.What do Steve’s words suggest in the last paragraph?‎ A. Shea is a determined girl B. Shea has an advanced device C. Shea is a famous musician now D. Shea gets much help from her family ‎ B ‎ About ALISON Introduction Welcome to ALISON — a global online learning community.

The effect usually occurs between trees of the same species, but has also been observed between trees of different species.‎ There are many theories going around, most of which make sense, but no one has been able to prove without the shadow of a doubt why some trees avoid touching each other.‎ In his 1955 book, Growth Habits of the Eucalypts, Australian forester M. R. Jacobs writes that the growing tips of the trees are sensitive to abrasion (擦伤) , which results in crown shyness phenomenon. This theory was also supported by Dr Miguel Franco. Some experiments have shown that if trees displaying crown shyness are artificially prevented from swaying(摇摆) in the wind and touching each other, they gradually fill up the gaps between them.‎ But while the above theory is arguably the most widespread, it’s certainly not the only one. Some scientists have suggested that crown shyness is a mechanism to stop the spreading of leaf-eating insects. These pests have been known to work together and create structures that extend up to 10cm off of tree branches, in order to reach other plants, so the gaps are the trees natural defense method.‎ One Malaysian scholar studied many trees, but found no traces of abrasions, despite their clear crown shyness. Instead, he suggests that the growing tips of the trees were sensitive to light levels and stopped growing when they got too close to other trees. Plants are able to sense how close they are to other plants and in order to get more light, they give off some chemical to stop other trees from growing too close.‎ ‎ Whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, plants are more intelligent than people.‎ ‎28. What can we know about crown shyness?‎ A. It can cause abrasion between trees.‎ B. It only happens between the same species.‎ C. It has been discovered for only half a century.‎ D. No agreement has been reached about its real cause.‎ ‎29. What will happen if trees showing crown shyness are stopped from swaying?‎ A. The gaps between the trees will grow wider.‎ B. The trees will stop growing and even die.‎ C. The gaps between the trees will remain the same.‎ D. The crown shyness phenomenon will disappear.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined word “mechanism” in paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Tip B. Theory C. Way D. Plan ‎31. Which statement might the Malaysian scholar agree with?‎ A. Some insects stop trees growing too close.‎ B. Trees have special ways to attack others.‎ C. Trees won't touch each other to avoid diseases.‎ D. Trees compete with their neighbors for light.‎ D The Indian government may use 3D paintings as virtual（虚拟的） speed-breakers on major highways and roads, in an attempt to check speeding and careless driving，and eventually make its deadly roads a little safer. “We are trying out 3D paintings used as virtual speed breakers to avoid unnecessary requirements of speed breakers,” India’s transport minister Nitin Gadkari tweeted.‎ The visual illusions (幻象) are supposed to encourage drivers to slow down automatically. Earlier this month, India had ordered the removal of all speed breakers from highways, which are considered to be a danger to safety for high-speed vehicles.‎ India has the highest number of road accident deaths in the world. According to the World Health Organisation, over 200,000 people are killed by road accidents due to poor application of road safety laws. This is considerably higher than its official figures of 141,526 for 2014.‎ The use of visual illusions as speed breakers was first pioneered in the American city of Philadelphia in 2008, as part of a campaign against speeding motorists. The technique has also been tried out in China to create floating 3D crossings.‎ In India, cities such as Ahmedabad and Chennai have already experimented with 3D zebra crossings in the last one year. In Ahmedabad for instance, two artists, mother and daughter have painted 3D crosswalks in the first few months of this year. The artists say their motto is “to increase the attention of drivers”, and that the concept has been successfully tested in zones where accidents easily occur on a highway.‎ However, critics argue that once drivers know that these speed breakers are visual illusions,‎ ‎ they may ignore them. Others also point out that India’s decision does not consider the safety of a large number of walkers. In the end, the new policy may be just one step towards improving road safety.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, 3D paintings as virtual speed breakers in India aims to .‎ A. Replace all speed breakers from highways.‎ B. Encourage essential requirements of speed breakers.‎ C. Check speeding and careless driving on all highways.‎ D. Remind divers to speed down voluntarily for road safety.‎ ‎33. What caused the high number of road accident deaths in India?‎ A. Speeding motorists. B. Floating 3D crossings.‎ C. Free use of visual illusions. D. Bad application of traffic laws.‎ ‎34. The author explains the experiment of 3D zebra crossings in India by .‎ A. giving examples. B. analysing causes.‎ C. providing figures. D. making comparisons.‎ ‎35. What’s the author’s attitude towards 3D zebra crossings?‎ A. subjective. B. objective. C. supportive. D. critical.‎ 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 major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?     Be involved.

Encourage your teen to express his worries and fears, but don't let them focus on those fears.     Help them get organized.  37  Together，you and your teen can work out a timetable in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.     Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet.

A healthy diet，rather than junk food，is best for reducing stress.        39   Persuade your teenager to get some sleep or do something active when she needs a real ‎ break from studying.

I hope it passes, not because it will put some money in my pocket 48 that’ ll be nice, but because it will ease the 49 burden on volunteers and acknowledge their time commitment(奉献). I believe it will 50 more people to help. And there’s a(n) 51 for that.‎ In rural areas where population density(密度) is low and calls for fire and EMS services are __52 rare, it just doesn’t 53 to have career firefighters on the staff 24/7(全天候). 54 , volunteers are used to fill in the 55 .

We volunteer because we know our 59 need us. We don’t need a small tax break. Without one, we’ll still put on our gear when the alarm goes off without any 60 ．But we'd appreciate one, and if it gets more people to join us, it’s worth it.‎ ‎41.

They can also be made of plastic, animal bone or metal. Sometimes chopsticks are quite artistic. Truly elegant chopsticks might be made of gold and silver with Chinese characters. Skilled workers also combine 62 (variety) hardwoods and metal 63 (create)special designs.‎ ‎ The Chinese have used chopsticks for five thousand years.

Over time, 65 the population grew, people began cutting food into small pieces so it would cook more quickly.‎ ‎ People could eat food in small pieces easily with twigs which 66 (gradual) turned into chopsticks.

Confucius believed knives would remind people of killings and 69 (be) too violent for use at the table. ‎ ‎ Chopsticks are not used everywhere in Asia.
