Most people agree that eating healthy food is important. But sometimes making good food choices can be difficult. Now, there are apps that can help people learn about the food they eat to improve their health and their dining-out experience.

HappyCow app

Vegetarians do not eat animal meat. Vegans do not eat any animal products. The HappyCow app is made for both groups. Users can search for vegetarian-vegan restaurants and stores around the world. A free version of HappyCow is available for Android that has ads and requires an Internet connection.

OpenTable app

The OpenTable app helps people choose restaurants when they want to go out to eat. It is a free service that shows users restaurants available based on where and when they want to dine. It gives users points when they make reservations, which can add up to discounts on restaurant visits.

LocalEats app

Restaurant chains, like McDonalds, can be found almost anywhere a person might travel. But sometimes travelers want to eat like locals. The LocalEats app is designed for that. It can help you find local restaurants in major cities in the US and in other countries. It costs about a dollar.

Where Chefs Eat app

“Where Chefs Eat” is a 975-page book. Most people would not want to carry that around. But there is a much lighter app version of the same name for just $ 15. Six hundred chefs provide information on 3,000 restaurants around the world on the Where Chefs Eat app.

21.Who is the HappyCow app designed for?

A. Those who prefer local foods.

B. Those who prefer animal products.

C. Those who prefer animal meat.

D. Those who prefer vegetables.

22. Which app will cost you most according to the text?

A.HappyCow.

C.LocalEats.

B.OpenTable.

D. Where Chefs Eat.

23. Where does this passage most probably come from?

A. A science textbook.

As we all know, most animals only perform tricks when given treats. However, Kim， the world’s first spider to learn a skill， needs no stimulus（刺激物）to do what she loves-jumping from different heights and distances-upon the instruction of a team of scientists from the University of Manchester.

While the idea of training a spider might sound evil, the researchers' motives were purely scientific. They tried to unlock the secrets behind the jumping spiders' extraordinarily high leaps to catch prey（猎物）or to escape their enemies. A better understanding of the spiders' leaps would help experts develop more efficient flying and jumping robots.

The scientists found that Kim could gather enough force in her legs to jump more than six times the length of her own body from a stationary position. What was even more amazing was that she always landed perfectly. For shorter distances, Kim used a lot of energy, resulting in quick leaps, which, the researchers believe, probably increases her chances of catching fast-moving prey. The farther the distance was, the less extra energy was used, resulting in slower but precise leaps.

Previous studies have indicated that spiders use both their muscles and hydraulic （液压的）pressure-a mechanism by which blood is transferred to their extended legs-to push them off the ground. However, in Kim's case, her leg muscles alone appeared to be generating enough force for the lift-off. The researchers now intend to do further research to comprehend fully not just the spiders' jumping technique, but that of other insects as well. “We are familiar with robots that are aimed at taking over human functions, but there are millions of insects in the world that perform specific functions that we have interest in adapting to robotics,” says Nabawy, the leading engineer of the researching team.

24. What is the purpose of scientists' researching the jumping spider?

A. To have fun and relax.

C. To get rid of spiders.

B. To help develop robots.

D. To protect this species.

25. Why did Kim use a lot of energy for short distances?

A. To jump high enough.

B. To land more precisely.

C. To catch fast-moving prey.

D. To increase chances of escape.

26. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Jumping technique.

C. Further research.

B.Leg muscle.

D.Energy for lift-off.

27. What can be a suitable title for this passage?

A.Jumping Technique Used by Spiders

B. Spiders' Leaps Inspired Experts to Create Robots

C. Animals Perform Tricks if Provided with Treats

D. The World's First Spider That Jumps on Demand

C

Dogs are our best friends. That's especially true after a disaster, such as an earthquake. When buildings fall down, search-and-rescue dogs help find trapped people. Dogs' amazing noses can pick up the smell of survivors. Now scientists have developed an electronic tool that does the same thing. It's taking smell detection to a whole new level.

The new invention is a sort of electronic nose, which can detect extremely low levels of many compounds（化合物）from people＇s skin. This isn’t the first time engineers have developed such an object. Earlier models, however, have been bulky and expensive. They could not detect low levels of target compounds either. The new one is inexpensive and small enough to fit inside hand-held equipment.

The electronic nose can detect extremely slight smell of more than one compound at the same time. “Being able to do this, in such a small object, is the significant discovery," says Sotiris E. Pratsinis, Professor of Process Engineering and Materials Science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. His team tested it in special spaces. They were like the small spaces where people might be trapped. Chemicals given off by the volunteers built up inside. The electronic equipment detected those compounds at unbelievably low levels.

The results were good news for the research team. But they may be not for our four-legged friends, who could soon be out of a job. “Ideally, this technology could replace search-and-rescue dogs,” Pratsinis says.

Stephen Taylor, an electrical engineer, agrees that the new technology has some benefits over dogs. Still, he thinks it may be too soon to have our trusty friends retire. He suspects, “I foresee that such an object could add to the fine work done by the dogs.” Taylor also points out some potential limitations of the new invention. “E-noses are useful, but can be very likely to be affected by unstable readings and interruption,” he says.

28. Why does the author talk about dogs at the beginning?

A. To catch the readers' attention.

B.To introduce the topic about e-noses.

C.To show what search-and-rescue dogs do.

D. To add background information for discussion.

29.Which of the following best explains “bulky” underlined in paragraph 2?

A. Complex.

C.Handy.

B.Fragile.

D.Large.

30.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.What e-noses' working principle is.

B. How e-noses are made.

C. What differences between dogs and e-noses are.

D. How powerful e-noses are.

31. What does Stephen Taylor mean?

A. Dogs and e-noses could work together.

B. Search-and-rescue dogs will retire soon.

C. E-noses are more reliable than noses of dogs.

D. Dogs are better at finding out trapped people.

An astronaut crew of private citizens has been launched to the International Space Station(ISS).The launch happened in Florida's Kennedy Space Center. The flight is the first to be organized and operated by a private company involving a completely commercial astronaut crew.

The four-member team will travel to the ISS inside a spacecraft built by American company SpaceX. The crew members are from the private company Axiom Space based in Houston, Texas. The group is led by retired NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria. The mission is called Ax-1. Lopez-Alegria will be joined by the mission pilot, Larry Conner, a businessman and private pilot from Ohio. The other members of the crew are Israeli fighter pilot Eytan  Stibbe and Mark Pathy, a Canadian businessman. Stibbe and Pathy will serve as mission specialists.

NASA says it will cooperate with Axiom mission officials to plan joint activities involving the Axiom team and regular ISS crew members. Currently, there are three American astronauts aboard the ISS, along with a German astronaut and three Russian astronauts.

The launch is being praised as a turning point in the latest expansion of commercial space activities. Such activities have become known in the industry as the low-Earth orbit（轨道）economy， or the “LEO economy”.

The latest mission's crew might seem similar to private space tourists who recently took space rides that did not reach orbit. The trips aim to fly private citizens to the edge of space and permit them to experience weightlessness and observe Earth.

But Axiom executives（经理，主管领导）say their mission is very different.“We are not space tourists,”Lopez-Alegria says. The Ax-1 team will be carrying equipment and supplies for 26 science and technology experiments. They include research in areas including brain and heart health, cancer and aging.

Axiom's co-founder and executive chairman, Kam Ghaffarian, says he saw the launch as “the beginning of many beginnings for commercializing low-Earth orbit”. He adds:“We're like in the early days of the Internet, and we haven't even imagined all the possibilities, all the capabilities, that we're going to be providing in space.”

32. Who have been launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center to the ISS?

A. The four-member private astronaut crew.

B. The four crew members from SpaceX.

C. The four professional astronauts.

D. The four private space tourists.

33. Who is the pilot of the mission Ax-1?

A. Mark Pathy.

C. Eytan Stibbe.

B.Larry Conner.

D.Michael Lopez-Alegria.

34.Why does Lopez-Alegria say they were not space tourists?

A.They will help with the astronauts' work in the ISS.

B. They will experience weightlessness.

C. They will do scientific researches in the ISS.

D. They will just fly to the edge of space.

35. What does Kam think of the LEO economy?

A. It is the beginning of space tourism.

B. It is just an imagination.

C. It is faced with more uncertainties.

D. It is a promising business.

How does it feel when you solve a problem by yourself? Things may not always go to plan, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.

Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. 36 They can also be anything else that's useful, such as information, advice or your own experience. It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you're born with rather than thought or training, and being confident about your ability to face challenges. A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong. They're thinking about how to solve the problem.

37 When we learn to solve a problem by ourselves rather than immediately go to others for help, it can help to build our confidence, help us feel more independent, and feel better about making decisions. Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time.              38 This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.

When you're facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it. Think about where and when it happened and what the causes are. Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. 39              Finally, review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.

And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help.40

A. You also learn what you're good at.

B. Here is how you can be more resourceful.

C. These may be practical things like pens and paper.

D. No one is expected to solve all problems by themselves.

E. Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.

F.They can be famous mottos that always motivate you to move on.

G. Weigh up what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Days of January were passing and every girl of the girls' school was very happy as the selections for plays and dances for the annual function were started.

Sneha's class teacher, Pravina,  asked Sneha, her favorite student, to play the leading character in a play. Because she was never allowed to play a male character, Sneha jumped with joy, but suddenly she became so serious about the costumes （戏服）.

“How many times I have to tell you not to participate in plays and dances! Can't you understand that we can't buy or borrow the costly costume? You can take part in debates, quizes, or essay competitions in which you don't have to spend money and you can enrich your knowledge," her mother said angrily when Sneha told her about it.

The reason behind all this was their financial condition. Sneha always had an idea about it in her home and she was mature enough to say NO to any money demanding condition. This time, however, the desire of fame and the excitement of the activity were overcoming her fear.

Sneha went in her room hiding her sadness deep in her heart. She was so nervous about what was going to happen when she would tell Pravina about leaving the play. Would she warn her not to allow her in any competition? Now it was clear that she had to leave the play.

The next day, downhearted Sneha acted like nothing had happened and got ready for school. Her mom ordered her to say NO for the play.

Sneha always loved Pravina because whenever there was a play or dance, the girls did not need to be worried about anything related with money. She would find a way to help. But Sneha didn't want to tell her the truth.

注意：

1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Sneha went to the teacher, “I don't want to take part in the play and I'm leaving.”
