I wish I could just give them a little bit of hope and make them believe that they can have dreams,” says Obada Kassoumah, who is a Syrian student in Tokyo now. He has become a translator of Japanese comics into Arabic(阿拉伯语).‎ As a student at university in Syria, Obada received a scholarship to go to Japan on an exchange program. That was in 2012, and the unrest(动乱) in the country had already started. When the situation got too dangerous, his parents decided to send him to live with his aunt in Jordan until he could leave for Tokyo.‎ When his scholarship ended a year later, he was able to stay in Japan as a regular student, and picked up a part-time job translating Captain tsubasa. “I watched it as a kid and I loved it,” says Obada. “It’s a story about a kid having a dream to become a professional football player and working hard to make that dream come true. That’s something should make these kids see.”‎ ‎“For Syrian kids it is very important to be able to escape from reality for a while. And these books can also give them some hope for their own future,” explains Prof. Masanori Naito, who had spent several years looking for ways to help kids affected by the conflict. One of the places where Captain Tsubasa now provides a small escape from reality is a refugee(难民) home where copies were handed out to around 60 refugees. “What the kids usually get are of course clothes and food, and so they were really surprised when they suddenly had Japanese comic books in their own language. And you really could tell that from their eyes!” says Prof. Masanori Naito.‎ Back in Tokyo, Obada Kassoumah has decided to keep translating even more adventures of Captain Tsubasa into Arabic. He hopes his translations will put a smile on the face of a Syrian child somewhere, trying to forget the terror of the past.‎ ‎24. Why did Obada translate the Japanese comics?‎ A. To gain fame. B. To satisfy his hobby.‎ C. To inspire Syrian kids. D. To improve his Japanese.‎ ‎25. What can we know about Obada?‎ A. He had a poor record at college.‎ B. He was moved by Captain Tsubasa.‎ C. He stayed with his aunt in Tokyo.‎ D. He dreamed of being a football player.‎ ‎26. The fourth paragraph suggests that____________.‎ A. Captain Tsubasa is popular with Syrian kids B. around 60 refugees lack basic necessities of life C. most Syrian kids dream of leaving the refugee home D. the conflict has ruined Masanori Naito’s hope for the future ‎27. What will Obada do next?‎ A. Return to his own country. B. Enjoy adventures in Japan.‎ C. Forget memories from wars. D. Continue his translating work.‎ C A leaky(渗漏的) pipe can cause much damage. Inside, it can ruin floors, walls and furniture. Outdoors, water leaking from a high-pressure water pipe can wash away soil and create sinkholes. And even before such leaks cause damage. they can rob communities of much clean water needed for drinking and other uses. But a teen now has found a way to detect damage in a water pipe ----even one buried in the ground. In some cases, his technique might find a failing pipe before it leaks a drop.‎ Sanjay Seshan, 15, attends Dorseyville Middle School in Pittsburgh, Pa. He presented his research here at the finals of the Broadcom MASTERS science competition. He first became aware of large-scale water leaks while traveling through a poor area in India. There, he recalls seeing just “one community pipe and it was leaking water everywhere.” When he returned home, Sanjay did some work and learned that U. S. water-delivery equipment was deteriorating, too, which included about 240,000 breaks each year in water mains. This means a huge waste of money and clean water.‎ This made Sanjay start to explore how he might look for damage in buried water pipes. Inspired by a clarinet(黑管), he attached a tiny but powerful speaker to the outside of a plastic pipe. Next he put one small microphone near the speaker and another much farther away. Then, he used a computer program to send electrical signals to the speaker. Those signals caused the speaker to shake at particular frequencies. The results showed the pipe transmitted(传输) some frequencies better than others.‎ After measuring how well a healthy pipe transmitted each sound pitch, Sanjay damaged the pipe and then ran his tests again. The pipe’s sound transmission changed. This was true even for 3-meter-long pipes he had buried in his backyard. So, he concludes, the technique offers hope that pipes could be operated with sensors (传感器) and then monitored over long periods.‎ 28. What event drew the teenager s attention to water pipes?‎ A. His trip to India. B. His research in India.‎ C. The science competition. D. A report on Indian pipes.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word "deteriorating"in Paragralaph 2 mean?‎ A. Confusing. B. Improving.‎ C. Worsening. D. Changing.‎ ‎30. What did Sanjay Seshan do in his experiment?‎ A. He had a powerful Speaker fixed inside the pipe.‎ B. He attached two tiny microphones to the pipe.‎ C. He used a computer to control the whole process.‎ D. He damaged almost all the pipes in the end.‎ ‎31. What should be the best title for the text?‎ A. Research has been conducted on leaky water pipes.‎ B. A damaged pipe shakes differently from a healthy one.‎ C. A leaky pipe has become easy to repair thanks to a teen.‎ D. Teen finds a way to detect failing underground pipes.‎ D Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.‎ ‎　　Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.‎ ‎　　Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.‎ ‎　　Don’t forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.‎ ‎　　Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.‎ ‎32. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.‎ A. their body shape 　　 B. their home comforts 　　‎ C. house buying 　 D. healthy diets ‎33. A home environment in blue can help people ____.‎ ‎　 A. digest food better ‎　 B. regain their appetites ‎　 C. burn more calories ‎　 D. reduce food intake ‎34. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?‎ ‎　 A. Eat quickly.‎ ‎　 B. Play fast music.‎ ‎　 C. Use smaller spoons.‎ ‎　 D. Turn down the lights.‎ ‎35. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ ‎　 A. Ways of Serving Dinner ‎ 　 B. Is Your House Making You Fat?‎ ‎　 C. Effects of Self-Consciousness ‎　 D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?‎ ‎　　　　‎ 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 city beneath the sea ‎ French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio discovered the remains of Heracleion, a long-lost Egyptian city, beneath the waves of the Mediterranean Sea in 2000. After more than a decade of research, he and his team are now presenting their discoveries to the world.‎ ‎ Heracleion was founded around the 8th century B.C.(800-700B.C). Because Heracleion was located at the mouth of the Nile River, it was an important economic and trading centre. 36._____________________.‎ ‎ “It was the major international trading port for Egypt at this time,” says Damian Robinson. He is the director of the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Oxford and working with Goddio’s team.‎ ‎ 37.___________________. This, as well as a rising ocean and possibly even earthquakes, eventually caused the city to sink around 100 A.D.‎ ‎ The underwater site has proved rich in historical artifacts(人工制品). 38._________.‎ ‎ “The archaeological evidence is simply amazing,” says Oxford University archaeologist Sir Barry Cunliffe.” By lying untouched and protected by sand on the seafloor for centuries, the artifacts are brilliantly preserved.”‎ ‎ 39._________________. They have also found miniature Egyptian coffins that may have held animal mummies! Additionally, the remains of 64 ancient ships and more than 700 anchors lay buried in the sand around the ruins of the city.‎ ‎ But Goddio and his team have barely scratched（刮） the surface of Heracleion’s remains. “40 _________________.” says Goddio.” We will probably have to continue working for the next 200 years for it to be fully revealed and understood.”‎ A. The Greeks called it Heracleion.‎ B. We are just at the beginning of our research.‎ C. All trade from nearby Greece had to pass through Heracleion.‎ D. For many years, historians were not sure if this city ever existed.‎ E. But the ground on which Heracleion was built wore away over many centuries.‎ F. The researchers have uncovered numerous 15-foot-tall statues as well as hundreds of smaller artifacts.‎ G. In fact,because the city sank to the bottom of the ocean, many ancient pieces have remained undisturbed. ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空 (共20小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season. ‎ The first two     41   there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves.

She is a famous scientist who lived with and studied chimpanzees for many years. A chimpanzee is an intelligent African animal that is like a largemonkey without a tail. When Jane was young, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee. And she became interested in these animals. (17) In 1957, her love for animals led her to call Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous scientist, who offered her a job as an assistant.
