阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

My Favourite Books

Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.

Matilda

Roald Dahl

I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres，Miss Trunchbull，are equally fumy and frightening，but they're also aspirational.

After Dark

Haruki Murakami

It’s about two sisters-Eri，a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping，and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets.

Gone Girl

Gillian Fynn

There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable

The Stand

Stephen King

This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.

21.Who does "I" refer to in the text?

A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn.

C. Jo Usmar. D. Roald Dahl

22.Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?

A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda.

C. After Dark. D. The Stand.

23.What kind of book is Gone Girl?)

A. A folk tale. B. A biography.

C. A love story. D. A horror story.

B

    NASA has a new job listing, and it’s no joke. The US space agency (机构) is looking for a “joker” to join their planned mission (任务) to Mars.

A mission to Mars is no laughing matter. On average, the red planet is 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away from Earth. A trip there would take around eight months in a small spacecraft. And Mars has a communications delay (延迟) of 20 minutes. This means that astronauts will have to wait 20 minutes for a reply, when an emergency happens.

“When you’re living with others in a confined space for a long period of time, such as on a mission to Mars, problems are likely to occur,” Jeffrey Johnson, a scientist at the University of Florida, told The Guardian.

This is probably why NASA wants an astronaut with a sense of humor. “These are people that have the ability to pull everyone together,” Johnson said.

In stressful situations, perhaps humor is a way to know we aren’t alone. By laughing together, we share our stress. Then we can focus on our jobs instead of just worrying.

There are other examples of team “clowns”. One example is the journey to the South Pole (南极) led by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen. It was a difficult journey, full of danger. Adolf Lindstrom, a cook at Amundsen’s team, was a “clown”. He made people laugh through the whole journey. Amundsen later wrote that Lindstrom was the most valuable member of the team.

But if you’re hoping that your favorite TV comedian (喜剧演员) will fly to Mars, that probably won’t happen.

“Being funny won’t be enough to land somebody the job,” Johnson said. “They also need to be an excellent scientist and engineer.”

Besides, they must be in top physical condition.

24.What is NASA’s new job listing?

A.A funny engineer. B.A talented clown.

C.A good cook. D.A popular comedian.

25.What does “a confined space” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.a crowded space B.an empty space

C.an open space D.a small space

26.How does the author think humor can help astronauts?

A.It can stop them from feeling worried.

B.It can encourage teamwork on a mission.

C.It can help them feel less homesick.

D.It can help them know themselves better.

27.What could be the best title of the passage?

A.A New Job Listing of NASA

B.Humorous Astronauts in NASA

C.Keeping the Spirits Up

D.A mission to Mars

C

During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another .Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie ,it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they’re busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they’ll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you’re filling up that after school time, then it’s during the day that they’re going to be taking a break.”

 Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there’s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’ But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”

       It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them.    “When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids… and for the family drivers!

28.What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?

A.They can get bored easily about everything.

B.They might have no time to do the homework.

C.They might not pay much attention to learning.

D.They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.

29.What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?

A.It is productive. B.It is helpful. C.It is a bad habit. D.It is a waste of time.

30.Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?

A.Because children have no time.

B.Because children cannot learn many things.

C.Because children do not have enough sleep.

D.Because children cannot focus on too many activities.

31.What is the main idea of this passage?

A.Don’t be children’s drivers after school.

B.Choose activities for your children wisely.

C.Make your children learn as much as possible.

D.Let children learn something from various subjects.

D

More than loo genes are related with increased risk of developing schizophrenia（精神分裂症）,bipolar disorder （躁郁症）and alcoholism（酗酒）,confirms a large study published in the recent issue of the British scientific journal Nature.

The world's largest study into the genetic basis of mental illnesses was led by researchers from British universities,including University College London (UCL),Cardiff University and King's College London (KCL).

Researchers believe that they are now much closer than before to understanding the complex biological causes, which make some people being at high risk of developing mental illnesses.They also believe that these findings could lead to new treatments.

The researchers analyzed the DNA of about 37,000 patients with schizophrenia,bipolar disorder or alcoholism, and compared the smallest genetic changes to those found in about 113,000 healthy people.They then identified about 128 independent genetic variants（变体）at 108 locations on the human chromosomes（染色体）that contribute significantly to developing schizophrenia—83 of these sites have never before been linked to the illness,according to scientists.

For example,people with the variant of the GRM3 gene,thought to be important in brain signaling,are around 2 to 3 times more likely to develop schizophrenia or alcohol dependence.The variant,which is found in approximately one in every 200 people,is also associated with a three times risk of developing bipolar disorder.

"We could be looking at the next big drug target for treating mental illness,"Professor David Curtis from UCL, co-author of the paper,said."The work opens up new ways to prevent and treat mental illnesses by revealing the mechanisms involved in their development."

32.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?

A. Researchers are disappointed at curing biological causes.

B. Researchers are worried about the complex biological causes.

C. Researchers have found the method of curing biological causes.

D. Researchers are confident for figuring out the complex biological causes.

33.According to Paragraph 4,the researchers found       .

A. there are 37,000 patients with mental illnesses in the world

B. most of the sites have never before been linked to mental illnesses

C. there is little difference between the patients and the healthy people

D. the cause of mental illnesses has nothing to do with the genetic changes

34.We can learn from Paragraph 5       .

A. the variant of the GRM3 gene is important

B. the number of people with the variant of the GRM3 gene is large

C. the number of people with the variant of the GRM3 gene is small

D. people with the variant of the GRM3 gene aren't likely to suffer schizophrenia

35.What's the main topic discussed in the text?

A. The importance of gene variants.

B. The research of gene variants.

C. The cause of mental illnesses.

D. Gene variants linked to mental illnesses.

Since the process is simplified, it also makes things easier for government offices and companies,” Tang Feifan, mayor of Quzhou, told Zhejiang Online.

Dear Mr. Smith,

  I am Li Hua, volunteer of the English club. I’m writing this letter to express my sincere apology to you for being absent from the prom to be held next Saturday. Now I give you an explanation.

  The reason why I can’t take part in the prom is that I suddenly fall ill. My parents sent me to hospital, and I have to stay there for a week. Therefore, I can’t attend the prom. As for my volunteer work, I have appointed my classmate Tom to serve as a volunteer.

  I sincerely hope that you can consider my situation and accept my apologies.

Yours,

Li Hua
