D.Organizations are being put up to protect butterflies.‎ B Jack Andraka from Maryland won the grand prize at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, which is the largest high school science competition in the world.The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $75,000 prize.He was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries.‎ Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌）.He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease.“I went on the Internet and I found that 85 per cent of all pancreatic cancers are found late, when someone has less than a 2％chance of survival,”he says,“and I was thinking,‘That’s not right and we should be able to do something’”He found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease.‎ The Maryland teenager asked to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and was allowed.There he developed a simple paper test,which can recognize the disease in a single drop of blood.His test has proven correct 90％of the time.It also is 100 times more sensitive(灵敏的）than other tests.“It costs 3 cents per test, and then it takes only 5 minutes to run,”he said.‎ Jack’s success wouldn’t have been possible without Anirban Maitra,a professor at Johns Hopkins,He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack wrote to and who showed interest in his project.“I was very surprised that it was a 15-year-old who was writing this.I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about,so I called for him over for an interview,”Maitra said.‎ Jack worked in Professor Maitra’s laboratory,completing his project in 7 months.The government has given the Maryland teenager patent（专利）rights to the pancreatic cancer test.He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.‎ Whatever happens,the professor believes that Jack Andraka’s name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years.‎ 24.

What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer B.Maryland teenager was given patent rights to the pancreatic cancer test.‎ C.Maryland teenager won at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair D.a professor helped Jack Andraka invent a test for pancreatic cancer C You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella.But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet.That’s why he created lampbrella,a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.‎ The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once,I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬）built into a street lamp.”he said.‎ The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy.It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand.Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians(行人)shelter whenever it starts raining.‎ In addition to the rain sensor,there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella.After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.‎ According to the designer,the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed,so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.Besides,it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike.Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people.Being fitted at 2 meters off the ground,it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.‎ While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production,Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be fitted on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.‎ 28. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?‎ A. To predict a heavy rain. B.To protect people from the rain.‎ C.To check the weather forecast. D.To remind people to take an umbrella.‎ 29. What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?‎ A. His creation was inspired by an experience. B.it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.‎ C.Street lamps are protected by canopies. D.He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.‎ 30. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?‎ A. Its moving speed B.Its appearance C.Its installation D.Its safety 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.‎ B.The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.‎ C.The designer is confident that his creation is practical.‎ D.The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.‎ D There was a time,not so long ago, when I was busy,busy.At least I thought I was.‎ I told people I worked 60 hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a week.I declared to sleep six hours a night.As I complained to anyone stuck next to me at parties, I was basically too busy to breathe.‎ Now I work 45 hours a week and sleep close to eight hours a night.But I’m not getting any less done.My secret?I started keeping track of how I spent my time,recording how many hours and minutes I devoted to different activities,sleep and chores.‎ I soon realized I’d been lying to myself about where the time was going.What I thought was a 60-hours workweek wasn’t even close.I would have guessed I spent hours doing dishes when in fact I spent minutes.I spent much time lost on the Internet or hanging about,unsure exactly what I was doing.‎ I’m not alone in this time fog.If you believe results from some studies, plenty of people have false impressions of how they spend time in our “too-rushed-to-breath”world.‎ We all have the same 168 hours per week-a number of people think it over even as they talk about “24-7”with abandon--but since time passes whether we admit it or not.We seldom think through exactly how we’re spending our hours. We also live in a competitive society, and so by complaining about our overwork,we show that we devoted to our jobs and our families.Being “busy”and “starved for time”is a way to show we matter.Put another way,it makes us feel important.‎ But if you think about it,complaining about a very long to-do list is not only boring,it’s sad excuse for one’s self-esteem(自尊).Owning up to how we spend our hours gives us more control of our time, and finally,of our lives.‎ 32. What does the author mainly talk about in the first two paragraphs?‎ A. He was made so busy all by himself. B.He was once terribly busy every day.‎ C.He has a good six-hour sleep a night. D.He was too busy to stand his daily life.‎ 33. The expression “24-7”(in Para.6)most probably means______.‎ A.7 hours a day for rest or sleep B.7days a week and 24 hours a day.‎ C.7 hours taken away from 24 hours D.work hours decreased from 24to7.‎ 34. To settle our “time fog”,the author thinks,we should first_______.‎ A. build up self-confidence in our daily life ‎ B. B.give up complaining about our lengthy to-do list.‎ C.know that it’s important to own enough available time ‎ D.make it clear how much time we have improperly used.‎ 35. What will the author most probably talk about next?‎ A. Why you are so busy. B.Where your time goes.‎ C.How to control your time. D.How to evaluate work time.‎ 第二节 ‎（共小题：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。‎ Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feel grateful to have been so healthy and happy.I’m happy due to many key factors.They include my physical health,healthy finances and my family’s happiness.‎ Health comes first for me,because without health everything else is meaningless.Imagine starting a career without good health.Imagine achieving anything without good health.36_____.‎ Good health is not enough to be happy.37 Money obviously pays for the basic necessities of life---food,housing,clothing,etc.---but it is also necessary for other reasons.Money guarantees we always get good medical treatment when we fall ill.38______‎ Family is another important factor in having a happy life because it provides the love,joy and support that everyone needs.I love my family with all my heart.I get pleasure from their pleasure.I suffer when they suffer.39_____They give me advice when I have misunderstandings with my friends.More importantly,they are always there to share everything with me.‎ ‎40_____As long as I stay healthy,work hard to earn enough money and share both good times and bad times with my family,I will always be the happiest girl in the world.‎ A.
