When I was in third grade, my parents let me join an advanced preparatory math class, Sigma,
 despite the fact that I had never displayed a liking for math at school.
I stepped into class on the first day thinking that I would spend a year at Sigma before leaving.
On the first day of class,we took an hour long testI merely did the best I could and tried to figure 
out how to do the problems I hadn't learned how to do in school.However, what I hadn't expected 
was to come first! Before that day, I had never believed I was good at math at all.But as the year 
went on, I consistently got the highest score.
When I was in eighth grade, I joined my school's math team where I was one of the top four 
students chosen to represent my school at a statewide middle school math competition.By that time, Ihad created a reputation for myself at school as a math girl.But what drew me to the math team 
was that it was the first community I felt like I was a real part of.It was a home where I belonged, where everyone was as excited about problem solving as I was.
I stopped going to Sigma when I was in ninth grade, but I still stayed in the math team. The math team isn't like Sigma - a place to make you believe in yourself, to take endless tests and  compete to see where you are placed relative to your classmates.The math team is the community 
where I have pushed myself to my limits and have seen other people push themselves.And most 
importantly, the math team is the place where I have met some of the kindest people I know today.Thank you, math team, for giving me friends and people I will care about even after I go off to 
college in less than a year and a half. Thank you for making me feel loved.

24. How did the author feel about math when she entered Sigma？
A. It was useful. B. It was difficult. C. It was important. D. It was uninteresting.
25. What do we know about the first test at Sigma？
A. It was easy for the author. B. It raised the author's confidence.
C. The result met the author's expectations. D. The author spent more than an hour on it.
26. What makes the math team different from Sigma？
A. The community atmosphere. B. The academic reputation.
C. The unlimited challenge. D. The teaching approach.
27. What's the best title for the text？
A. No more tests B. Not just a math girl
C. How I discovered my talent D. What the math team means to me
C
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly.As a doctor,mother and scientist inchild development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurses alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attentionby crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous.Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though  it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well,at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the  weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ（智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10, 419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeding style.These results don't surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
28. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels
A. sick B. upset C. sleepy D. hungry
29. The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
A. basic B. reliable C. surprising D. interesting
30. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand？
A. The baby will sleep well.
B. The baby will have its brain harmed.
C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
31. The author supports feeding the baby.
A. in the night B. every four hours
C. whenever it wants food D. according to its blood sugar level
D
American billionaire Elon Musk has demonstrated a technology designed to use a computer chip inside the head to control the brain. During a video demonstration on Friday, Musk provided details about the system, called Neuralink.
Musk says he hopes the technology can be used to treat neural disorders and help spinal injury victims regain body movement. Musk also believes the system could be used in the future to improve intelligence to help humans keep up with supercomputers and artificial intelligence (AI) technology.
During the show, Musk showed off a model of the Neuralink device. It is about 23 millimeters wide. It is designed to be implanted into a person's skull. Small wires would connect the device directly to the brain.
The Neuralink system is currently being tested in pigs, with plans to seek government approval for human testing sometime in the future.
A pig named Gertrude was also shown during the show. Musk explained that Gertrude had a Neuralink chip inside its head. The device is meant to record nerve activity in the pig's nose and mouth.
Musk said the company had three pigs, each with two chips. He described the animals as "healthy, happy and indistinguishable from a normal pig." Musk said the company was able to predict with "high accuracy" a pig's leg movement on a running machine using data from the chip.
Musk noted that Neuralink first wants to use the device on people with severe spinal cord injuries to help them talk and move using their brain waves. He said he is hopeful that, in the long term, those people could regain "full-body motion."
Some neuroscientists not linked to the company said the presentation suggested Neuralink had made great progress with the technology. However, they warned that many more studies will be needed to test the long-term success of such devices.
32. What good can the Neuralink device do to the disabled?
A. Making them think clearly. B. Treating their diseases successfully.
C. Having them keep up with supercomputers. D. Helping them to move again.
33. Which can best describe the pigs with a Neuralink inside their heads?
A. Normal B. Active. C. Nervous D. Intelligent
34. What do some neuroscientists think of Neuralink?
A. it has been a great success. B. it will succeed very soon.
C. it has a long way to go. D. It needs support from new theories.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. There Will Be Great Progress in Brain Science.
B. Musk Shows Technology Linking Computer to Brain.
C. Three Pigs Are being Tested Instead of Human Beings.
D. The Disabled Will Receive Better Treatment in the future.

Saving the environment is a hot topic right now, and most companies are thinking of ways to "go green", that is, to reduce pollution and save electricity. ___36___
How do you reduce energy use in your home？ How do you make your home eco-friendly？___37___ "Green" houses look similar to the houses we live in today, with a few noticeable differences. They have solar panels on the roofs or have some kind of wind power to produce their own electricity. On sunny or windy days when the house is not used, power is produced and stored in batteries（电池）for later use at night, while extra power is fed back into the power grid to make money. Imagine getting paid by the power company instead of paying the company. ___38___
One of the main reasons that we use so much power in our homes is to heat or cool them. "Green" houses are very well insulated（隔热的）, keeping the temperature inside fixed. ___39___Obviously, the appliances（家用电器） used inside our houses must also be "green" to limit the energy they use and the waste heat hey send out.
___40___This way, they can reduce the burden（负担） on the environment for raw materials （原材料）. You can paint your next house whatever color you like, but make sure it is "green".

A. Used plastic, paper, and rubber are included.
B. The answer might be to build a "green" house.
C. Most importantly, solar energy or wind power is clean energy.
D. Finally, "green" houses are built largely from used materials.
E. Not only large buildings but also small family houses are "green".
F. In the construction industry, this practice is also becoming popular.
G. As a result, we can reduce the need for a lot of power to heat or cool them.

第二节 语法填空（共10题；每小题1.5分, 满分15分）
阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
【解析】
61. 本题主要考查名词单复数。结合前文中的 a handful of 可知, 是一把胡萝卜, 应使用其复数形式。故正确答案为 carrots。
62. 本题主要考查形容词。结合文意, 她发现了一个发光的物体。此处应该填形容词, 修饰名词 object。故正确答案为 shiny/shining。
63. 本题主要考查固定搭配。so + 形容词或副词 + that ... 引导结果状语从句, 意为“如此……以致于……”。结合句意, Pahlsson 大声尖叫以致于把她女儿都吓跑出房子了。故正确答案为 so。
64. 本题主要考查反身代词, I 的反身代词是 myself。结合句意, Pahlsson 女士说她女儿以为她伤了自己, 当动作的施加者与承受者是同一人时, 宾语应使用反身代词。故正确答案为 myself。
65. 本题主要考查形容词比较级。结合文意, 六年前, 那是比现在更早的时期。故正确答案为 earlier。
66. 本题主要考查不定式。to do 表示一种目的。结合句意, 她把戒指摘掉是为了做饭, 这是一种目的。故正确答案为 to cook。
67. 本题主要考查一般过去时。结合句意, Lena 女士和她丈夫在厨房里找寻戒指, 这是多年前发生的事情, 动词应使用过去式。故正确答案为 searched。
68. 本题主要考查被动语态。get done 意为“被..……”。结合文意, Lena 女士和她丈夫在苦苦找寻无果后, 认为戒指可能是被扫进了厨房垃圾中。故正确答案为 swept。
69. 本题主要考查定语从句。
where 是关系副词, 在从句中作地点状语, 其前面有表示地点的先行词 garden, 类似例句有：The bookshop where I bought this book is not far from here. “我买这本书的那家书店离这儿不远”。故正确答案为 where。
70. 本题主要考查不定冠词。结合句意, 对于 Lena 女士来说, 戒指被找到就是一个奇迹。wonder 为可数名词单数形式, 需用冠词修饰, 此处“奇迹”是泛指, 不用定冠词, 且 wonder 不以元音音素开头。故正确答案为 a。
第三节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分, 满分10分）
【解析】
1.go 变 went。
2.根据ask sb to do sth（让某人做某事）, 故在动词原形climb（爬）前加上to。故在第二句的climb前加上to。
3.根据minute（分钟）为单数可数名词, 以及数词twenty（20）, 可知此处使用复数形式minutes。故将第四句的minute改为minutes。
4.根据stop doing sth（停止做某事）, 可知此处为动名词。故将动词run（跑）改为动名词running。故将第四句的run改为running。
5.此处为关系副词where引导的地点状语从句, 修饰句子的谓语动词reached（到达）, （reached为动词reach（到达）的过去式。）。表示动作发生的地点。故将第五句的when改为where。
6.for the rest 中the 变a。
7.此处为作者的爷爷问作者问题, 故应该说你注意到沿途美丽的花朵了吗？, 故将第一人称的单数形式I（我）改为第二人称的单数形式you（你）。
8.第六句的silently改为silent。根据固定搭配keep silent（保持沉默）, 故将副词silently（默默地）改为形容词silent（沉默的）。故将第六句的I改为you。
9.根据not...but...（不是...而是...）, 可知句意为亲爱的, 你不是在赛跑, 而是在旅行。 故将第七句的and改为but。
10.考查一般过去时时态, 故将had去掉。
