A group of 10 students at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, recently invented a device, WheeStroll, that enables people in wheelchairs to push a baby stroller(婴儿车). The teens were inspired to create it when Chelsie King, a teacher at their school, went to their teacher, Matt, to ask for help.

Chelsie’s husband, Jeremy King, had brain surgery to remove a tumor(肿瘤) three years ago, which left him with physical challenges. While he can walk, he is unsteady and usually gets around in a wheelchair for safety’s sake. The two of them were expecting their son Phoenix to be born in March. As they struggled to find adaptive ways for Jeremy to care for a baby, they realized there was no way for him to take their baby for a walk outside in a stroller.

Chelsie went to Matt for help. Matt leads a high school class called “Making for Social Good”. Matt thought Chelsie’s idea to make Jeremy an adaptive wheelchair attachment was the perfect project for his students, so they got to work!

The students talked to somebody at the local fire department who actually does baby car seat installation(安装) training to try to better understand how those things work. They held a video conference with Jeremy and Chelsie to discuss his needs and wants, and then they each came up with an idea and created a 3D model for it. Together, they narrowed everything down to the best two designs. The teens put their designs through rigorous testing before they were ready for Jeremy to try one out.

“It was certainly emotional seeing the process and everything that went into this,” Jeremy said. “I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes(原型),” Chelsie added.

The WheeStroll was completed around the same time Chelsie gave birth. Just a few weeks later, she and Jeremy were able to take Phoenix out for a walk around their neighborhood for the very first time!

4. Who was the students’ invention intended to help?

A. Matt. B. Chelsie. C. Jeremy. D. Phoenix.

5. What is WheeStroll?

A. A stroller. B. A wheelchair.

C. A stroller handle. D. A wheelchair attachment.

6. Why did the students talk to someone at the fire department?

A. To test a baby car seat they had made.

B. To create a 3D model of their invention.

C To get an idea of how their invention would work.

D. To narrow down their choices to the best two designs.

7. What can be inferred about the Kings?

A. They were teachers of the Bullis School.

B. They were moved by the students’ efforts.

C. They were emotional about the birth of their baby.

D. They came up with the idea of a special wheelchair.

【答案】4. C    5. D    6. C    7. B

Urban sprawl (无序扩张) means a pattern of poorly-planned development stretching away from an urban center. This trend of outward growth became common in the United States after World War II when people started leaving heavily-populated cities for new suburbs.

The rise of the suburbs led to small communities connected by roads and dependent on cars. This trend generally comes with unfavorable environmental and social impacts, including traffic jams, air pollution, loss of forest and agricultural land and communities that are more segregated (隔离的) by race and class.

As suburban neighborhoods multiplied, public transportation failed to keep up. Instead, transportation in the suburbs centered around road construction for the use of cars rather than connecting neighborhoods with bus and rail systems or providing alternative options like cycling lanes and pedestrian paths.

Not everyone had an equal shot at the American suburban dream. Suburban communities were generally whiter and wealthier, while people of color were often stuck in urban centers.

As more land is taken up by housing, roads, and shopping centers, critical wildlife habitat is destroyed. This change can lead to a decrease in biodiversity. In addition, loss of open space contributes to declining air and water quality.

In the 1950s people became aware of negative impacts of urban sprawl. Over time, citizens and local governments sought to address those concerns. In the 1970s. Portland, Oregon became one of the first cities to apply smart growth strategies. The city concentrated on population growth in the urban center rather than expanding suburbs. Today, it reflects many smart growth principles; diverse housing options, plentiful greenspace, mixed-use developments, preservation of ecologically important areas, and multiple transportation options.

Today, cities around the world are adopting these principles to deal with pollution and climate change, conserve open space, energy and other natural resources, and generally improve the well-being of citizens.

8. What does urban sprawl lead to?

A. Economic growth. B. Rise of population in the suburbs.

C. Environmental improvements. D. Better connected neighborhoods.

9. What transportation do the suburban neighborhoods communities mainly depend on?

A Buses. B. Cars. C. Rail systems. D. Bicycles.

10. What’s the author’s attitude towards urban sprawl?

A. Supportive. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Disapproving.

11. Why is Portland mentioned in Paragraph 6?

A. To explain one of the smart growth principles.

B. To show the importance of preserving natural resources.

C. To give an example of how people’s concerns are addressed.

D. To provide evidence of negative impacts of losing biodiversity.

【答案】8. B    9. B    10. D    11. C

D

A team of University of Houston researchers is reporting a newly recognized process of drug metabolism(代谢) in the intestines(肠)—followed by recycling through the liver(肝脏)—that could have important meanings for developing treatments for intestinal diseases and for taking multiple drugs at the same time.

“The intestines play an important role in metabolizing and recycling certain plant compounds and drugs,” reports Ming Hu, a professor in University of Houston.

The new information could help chemists develop better drugs and doctors fine-tune medication dosing, especially when a patient takes multiple drugs at the same time.

Scientists have long recognized that bile(胆汁) acid is produced in the liver and released into the intestines and is then recycled back through the liver for reuse as the bile, Some drugs that are metabolized in the liver also go through this process.

“The liver has long been considered the most important organ for drug metabolism,” said Hu. “But we’ve shown that the intestines also play a major role in drug metabolism.”

In the experiments, the team administered 16 different types of drugs directly to the liver or intestines and then tracked what happened to the treatments. They found that some drugs and plant compounds were metabolized in the intestines and the metabolites were then transported to the liver before being cycled back into the intestines.

“In this process, the liver acts only as a recycling organ, which is rare, since the liver is known to be the metabolic ‘superstar’ organ in humans,” said Hu. “This may explain why some drugs or plant compounds have larger effects on the intestines than anticipated the body. We hope our findings will be useful for medicinal chemists to design new drugs tailored to treat intestinal diseases.”

12. What is the new discovery of University of Houston researchers?

A. A new cure for intestinal diseases.

B. The way the liver recycles medicines.

C. A newly recognized effect of taking multiple drugs.

D. The phenomenon of drug metabolism in the intestines.

13. What does the underlined word “administered” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A. Produced. B. Studied. C. Gave. D. Introduced.

14. What’s the role of the liver in the newly discovered process?

A. A recycling organ. B. A metabolic organ.

C. A transporting organ. D. A drug tracking organ.

15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A. Where Are Drugs Metabolized?

B. How Are New Drugs Designed?

C. What’s the Metabolic Superstar?

D. Why Are Intestinal Diseases Hard to Cure?

【答案】12. D    13. C    14. A    15. A

Dear Jim,

How are you doing? I’m writing with delight to share with you my experience in an activity organized by my school.

On a sunny Sunday last month, I joined some of my schoolmates and took a trip to a lakeside village in the suburbs, where we had a great time. We were amazed by the beautiful scenery. We went boating on the lake and hiking in the woods. We also talked to farmers about their life. It’s really refreshing to get close to nature and learn about the local customs.

Don’t you think this is wonderful?

Yours,

第二节(满分25分)

47. 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。

The Nunes’s family lived in a friendly community near the woods. It was a normal Wednesday afternoon Mom Araceli Nunes returned home from selling food and drinks along the roadside in Plantersville, Texas. Her business had been fairly profitable and she was happy to see her husband preparing dinner in the kitchen and her 3-year-old son, Christopher Ramirez, playing in the yard. However, when she turned to unload her car, she didn’t notice the kid followed a neighbor’s dog into the woods.

When they couldn’t find Christopher, the panicky family called for help, and within a few hours, 48 different agencies arrived to comb through the area around their home. Their entire community started to help find Christopher. Some walked into the forest and others drove farther away.

After days with no sign of the kid, rescuers feared the worst, but Araceli never stopped hoping for her son’s safe return. At long last, after four long days and nights, the sheriff received a phone call from a man named Tim Halfin.

Tim Halfin’s house was about three miles away. He had heard of the missing boy when he returned home from a business trip. He didn't think a three-year-old could walk that far to where he lived. However, as all the previous searching efforts were in vain, he decided to try his luck around his own house.

Not long after he went out into the woods, he was surprised by what came into his sight. There was Christopher! Aside from being dehydrated and very hungry, the kid was completely unharmed. He was found outside the range where authorities were looking for him, so it’s pretty amazing that Tim discovered him.

注意：

1.续写的词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Christopher spent two days recovering at Texas Children’s Hospital before he was taken home.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Para. 1:

When Tim picked him up, the kid was still conscious. He wasn’t shaking, neither was he nervous. Tim wrapped the kid with his own jacket and took him home. Not knowing the phone number of the kid’s home, he called the sheriff, who informed Araceli in no time. On getting the exciting news, Christopher’s family immediately rushed to Tim’s house. Araceli couldn’t wait to wrap her little one up in her arms and hug him tightly! Tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.

Para. 2:

Christopher spent two days recovering at Teras Children’s Hospital before he was taken home. Seeing Christopher running around the house, the family was extremely grateful to all the agencies and volunteers, who had sacrificed their time to look for Christopher and shared their panic and worries. They were especially thankful to Tim who didn’t give up hope when chances seemed to be slim. They knew it well that they couldn’t repay those kind people for what they had done but they decided to pay it forward by lending a helping hand to whoever might be in need of it.
