Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community(社区) by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need. In 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.‎ Rachel Carson (1907-1964)‎ If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today.

She says，“I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.‎ In 1988，at the age of 50，she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled(雪橇) piled with 160 pounds of supplies，and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied only by her dog Charlie，she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact，Charlie saved her - 14 -‎ ‎ life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip，a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip，she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.‎ Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure，but also for education. Before her Arctic journey，she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site，she shares her adventures in order to motivate(激发) students. She explains，“although kids often see the world in a negative way，without hope for their future，we work to inspire them to set goals，plan for success and never give up...”‎ Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following her parents’ example，she climbed her first mountain at 9.Later，she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America，the former USSR and New Zealand.‎ In 1996，she took on another challenge—the Sahara Desert. She and her husband，Bill，walked 2,400 miles across it！In 2001，she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel in mainland China into Sichuan and Tibet to study pandas this year.‎ Helen plans to continue taking trips.

Surprised C Every child should have a solid science education whether they want to be the next Albert Einstein or Michael Jordan. Science is all around us, it is everywhere, reaching everything that we do. The “we” in that last statement includes children. Children that understand how science plays a role in our everyday lives have a wonderful foundation (基础) for success in life.      ‎ Children can learn science at any age really. The earlier they start, the better. The best way for kids to learn is through play and repetition. There are wonderful science toys for preschool science activities. With play being the best way kids learn, it only makes sense when to introduce toys to them that encourage understanding science. Children love to use their imagination to have fun and to help them understand the world around them. So play is a wonderful time to be introducing science to them. Think of the games that we used to play: Don’t Spill the Beans, Don’t Break the ‎ - 14 -‎ Ice, the Telephone Game, Lincoln Logs. Each of these games has science behind it.      ‎ Children are by nature curious as they feel out the world, trying to make sense of what is around them. Science feeds that curiosity that they have. It is a hunger that needs to be encouraged and satisfied. Finding these toys is not as hard as one would think. To make sure that you get good quality toys, visit science toy shops online. These are the best places to find unique science toys, such as 3D space projectors, or Hydro Greenhouses.       ‎ Help your children appreciate the world around them by understanding the world around them. This way, they understand how we are all connected together. Children will not only question the world. but be able to come up with answers to those questions on their own. ‎ Science is life.‎ ‎29. Don’t Spill the Beans, Don’t Break the Ice, the Telephone Game and Lincoln Logs are the games________. ‎ A. that can introduce science to children ‎ B. that keep children strong and healthy ‎ ‎ C. that are the most widely played D. that most students like to play at school ‎ ‎30. The third paragraph is mainly to tell us that________.‎ A. most of the toys online are very cheap B. it is necessary to feed children in time ‎ C. children are born curious about the world D. science toys can satisfy children’s curiosity ‎ ‎31. The text is most probably written for________. ‎ ‎ A. children       B. parents C. scientists        D. teachers D In today's world of smart phones and laptops, most people have at least one time-telling thing with them. Since these digital products are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, the answer is yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is “an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function. ” Many young adults think so and use their smart phones to tell time. It is said that fewer young people wear watches today than ten years ago. As a result, some people say that the watch industry is at a crossroads. ‎ However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches redeem（挽回）popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality watch that doesn’t just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers took pride in their products’ accuracy（精确性）. But in recent years, the watch industry has changed itself into an accessory(配饰) business. And today, the image a watch conveys has become more important than the time it tells. ‎ ‎“Complications” — features that go beyond simple timekeeping — are an important part of a watch’s image. Today’s watches offer lots of features that meet almost any personality. These features include compasses, USB drivers, and even o - 14 -‎ ther functions that measure the effectiveness of golf swings! ‎ Creativity also plays a key role in designing today’s watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don’t even look like watches. The company’s popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell time. It looks more like a fashionable bracelet than a watch. ‎ Whether a watch conveys fashion sense, creative talent or a love of sports, consumers want their watches to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget（小玩意） in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what’s on their wrists. Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell! ‎ ‎32. What can we know from the first paragraph? ‎ A. As most people see, watches are out of fashion. ‎ B. Some people feel that watches have been of no use.‎ C. The watch industry will close down sooner or later.‎ D. There are so many choices of watches for teenagers today. ‎ ‎33. According to the passage, what image does a watch convey nowadays? ‎ A. It simply tells time. ‎ B. It attracts many teenagers.‎ C. It has many functions.‎ D. It has an impact on creativity and imagination. ‎ ‎34. Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to _________. ‎ A. tell that today’s watches need more creativity ‎ B. advertise Shinshoku watches made by Tokyoflash ‎ C. show why Shinshoku watches are popular D. make a comparison between watches and bracelets ‎ ‎35. What may be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Watch Industry Is in a Bad Situation B. Japanese Watches Stand Out ‎ C. Watches Tell More Than Time D. Watches Are Becoming Less Popular 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从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。 ‎ Four Habits To Help You Succeed We all want to succeed, whether it is in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. 36 . ‎ Know your values.‎ Finding your values is in line with creating motivation. 37 . Pick a handful of things and write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.‎ Pick a goal and focus on it.‎ Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your values. Focus is the key here. 38 . If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never finish your projects because they will take far too long.‎ - 14 -‎ Set a time for success.‎ Set a date for success. Know when you hope to realize your goal. 39 . By setting a time limit, you are making the process realistic.‎ ‎ 40 . ‎ Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is only you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and go on.‎ A. Make the right decision B. I have made a list of four habits to help you set goals and realize them C. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time D. Sit and reflect on what you value most E. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step F. Don’t give up because of failure G.

Although young people have more choices nowadays than in the past, the test is still an important, life changing event. That's why local authorities and parents have done everything possible to make sure the test goes smoothly.‎ One measure taken lately is traffic control around examination sites. It aims to create a peaceful environment so that students taking the exam are not distracted.‎ Some are willing to cooperate. They understand students are all under great pressure. What's more, they say traffic control is just temporary. It doesn't last a very long time. So, it's not a big deal.‎ However, not everyone thinks so.
