On the outside, 12-ycar-old Luna seems like your average kid. It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.

Born with a heart defect（缺陷）called dextrocardia （右位心）, Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion. But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a pair of shoes for sale across the country, it came as quite a surprise.

“This is so incredible. I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design, ” Luna said. She is one of the six patients from Boston Children's Hospital （BCH） who have partnered Saucony to design their own shoes to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.

"Rather than just a donation, we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would raise not only money, but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH, "says Chris, Saucony's vice president. "Specifically, we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world. ”

Luna's design is fashion. On the tongue, they digitalized one of my drawings, and then at the bottom it's a really bright pink color, and on the inside, the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset, "she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoes is amazing. It blows my mind. ”

The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program, which encourages kids to “find your possibility” through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.

“It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to, "says Luna. "The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is 'Never give up'. There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone. ”

4. What can we learn from Chris's words?

A. It's unwise to raise money.

B. It's optional to seek donations.

C. It's wonderful to study art.

D. It's necessary to show kids’ talents.

5. What does Luna mean by saying “It blows my mind" in paragraph 5?

A. I'm overjoyed.

B. I'm very serious.

C. My mind goes blank.

D. My mind is racing.

6. Which of the following best describes Luna?

A. Grateful and helpful.

B. Generous and serious.

C. Gifted and determined.

D. Creative and sensitive.

7. What is the text mainly intended to do?

C. Introduce a campaign with kid patients.

D. Launch Saucony's new brand shoes.

For more than a decade, a team of researchers have studied the dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet as it responds to a warming climate. But while much of their focus has been on waters impacts on ice sheet change, their most recent research findings have overturned the order of their thinking. Meierbachtol, Harper and their team discovered that changes in the ice sheet have a real impact on the massive groundwater system underlying Greenland.

This latest discovery occurred thanks to a marriage of drilling techniques. International cooperators made an angled hole 650 meters through bedrock underneath a Greenland glacier（冰川）to measure groundwater conditions under the ice. Meanwhile, researchers drilled 32 holes from atop the glacier, through nearly a kilometer of ice, to measure water conditions at the area between ice and bedrock, which forms an important boundary controlling groundwater flow below. After drilling, the team1 fixed sensors in the ice column and at the ice sheet bed to measure ice dynamics and water conditions as water flows under the ice.

"By studying areas covered by ice 10, 000years ago, we have known that the huge mass and vast amounts of water from melting ice can impact the underlying groundwater, " Meierbachtol said. “It's generally accepted that the groundwater is sleeping over decades to centuries and its response to ice sheet change is long: thousands of years. But what we've shown here is that it is immediate. "

This new understanding could have important subsequent effects on how Greenland's thinning impacts the Arctic. The thinning ice could reduce the rate of groundwater flow to the ocean, changing the water temperature and salinity（盐度）balance that is important for ocean circulation（循环）patterns. ＂In thinking about the complex feedbacks from Greenland's ongoing change, we have really ignored the groundwater component, " Harper said.

8. How do the researchers feel about the result of the recent study?

A. Surprised.

B. Doubtful.

C. Satisfied.

D. Disappointed.

9. What contributes most to the new research about the Greenland Ice Sheet?

A. Fixing sensors into ice sheet.

B. Close international cooperation.

C. A combination of two drilling approaches.

D. Advanced rock drilling technology.

10. What is a misunderstanding of the groundwater under glaciers?

A. Its component is complex.

B. It is inactive for a long time

C. It has a very large volume.

D. Its temperature is changeable.

11. What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Long-lasting effects of global warming on the arctic.

B. Water impacts on the Greenland's permanent ice sheet.

C. Newly discovered groundwater resources in Greenland.

D. Greenland's groundwater changes with thinning ice sheet.

Boston wants to be smarter. The city has taken advantage of technologies to become more responsive to its residents' needs. But technology alone is not sufficient to make today's cities liveable. Boston has discovered that it also needs to reach the old-fashioned low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.

Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, which repair crews used to prioritize their work.

The system worked beautifully, except for one problem: most of the alerts came from wealthier neighborhoods, where the concentration of smartphone-equipped residents was highest. "The complaints from the App didn't always correlate with the greatest community need for repairs, "explains Carter.

Carter's group has moved away from the model common to many smart city initiatives of letting tech-savvy（精通技术的）residents drive the process. Instead, they run meetings to find out what problems people in different neighborhoods care about solving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk the city's 1, 700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition.

Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to continually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved along the streets, and that data could be analyzed to identify sidewalk routes which are most often used by neighborhoods.

“Combined with our other sidewalk information, that gave us an even better way to predict where faster repairs would do the most good, " says Carter, "We 're really always looking for whatever mix of approaches best solves the problem. ”

12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The citizens’ life.

B. The city's reputation.

C. The city's management.

D. The benefits of technology.

13. What problem did Kris Carter's team meet when carrying out their program?

A. They faced many technical obstacles.

B. They couldn’t serve all residents well.

C. They were not supported by residents.

D. They were annoyed by being short-staffed.

14. Which of the following might Kris Carter most agree with?

A. Mixing approaches for solving problems.

B. Maximizing the benefits of technology.

C. Giving full play to the power of residents.

D. Letting tech companies be a leading role.

15. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Joint-effort in City Construction

B. The Modernization of a City

C. A Smart City:More Than Just Tech

D. A City with Intelligent Facilities

Traveling is what makes your life complete. You may often complain that there is too much work and no time to travel. 16 There are hundreds of reasons why you should travel. Here are only four of them:17

Be spontaneous （自发的）and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine. It is wrong to wait for certain time of the year so that you could spoil yourself.

Your company won't be bankrupt or disappear if you leave it for a week or two.

There are plenty of people who can substitute for you and do your job while you arc away. 18 Here the point is to plan a week ahead. If you work hard, you can play hard. Always remember that the quality of your work will improve if you have a good rest and let yourself relax and recharge with energy and positive emotions.

You cannot be a good employee if you are unhappy and tense.

Your family suffers, too. When your mind is free you can perform at 200 percent. 19 You lose balance and harmony if you experience too much stress, perform a lot of demanding routine and constantly take responsibilities. Take care of yourself. Make sure that your well-being does not suffer.

Have a richer life if you want to be a better leader.

We all want to excel in our profession. We want to be in charge even at home. We like to be appreciated by the community. Being such a person requires several important qualities. To gain the required qualities you must have a multi-dimensional personality. The more new activities you practice, the more chances you can have to become a better leader. 20

A. Making excuses is much easier than acting.

B. There is no tomorrow, so take a break now.

C. Finding balance isn t easy, yet it is worth trying.

D. Traveling is also a means of broadening your horizons.

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。

It was in the 1930s, and things were tough. Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned in Pitt Lake, five years ago.

Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, because the bottom parts were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have "French toast" ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be evicted（驱逐） right after Christmas on the first of January.

Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn't have any food hidden away. When he didn't find any, he issued the cheque to Mum.

Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring all of us a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas.

Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas tree, cleaning snow, and doing part-time jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. Boots that weren’t patched（补丁）, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars.

Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas meals. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan.

With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house.

As I continued walking. I began to reconsider my plan. I could picture Mum pacing up and down at home, feeling sorrowful that she couldn't afford us a promising Christmas. Peering through the glass of the shoe store, I still saw the beautiful boots appealing to me, but I turned back to the decoration store in a flash. I selected some colorful lights carefully and also bought a turkey. It began to snow on my way home, the flakes whirling in the cold wind. It was freezing cold, but I was filled with great rejoicing, my heart pounding rapidly.

With great excitement and tears, I knocked on the door of our house. Mum opened the door, “Surprise!” I yelled, waving the lights and turkey in my hands. “Merry Christmas!” Mum stiffened for seconds and her face lit up with pleasure. Mum was overwhelmingly touched with tears streaming down her cheeks. She embraced me tightly. In the small but cozy house, we shared the turkey and talked merrily. The smell of turkey bounced through the air, lights sparkling like jewels. It dawned on me that nothing is more blissful than being accompanied by our beloved ones.
