Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.

I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at "morning talk", I often added my name to the list.

This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator（朗读者）for audiobooks. But I'm not an actor. I can't do regional accents or play female voice.Non-fiction,then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors.If it were authors' own voice, their stories would touchme.

Recently,delivering my son's nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud-highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte's Web.But I never thought I'd get the opportunity to do it professionally.

Then,last month,I was contacted by James Plunkett,writer of End State,a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.

So,I've spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I'm LOVING IT!

Mind you, it's an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I've just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I've also learned how many words I've been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL,not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.

Though tackling this 339-page book doesn't turn out to be that easy, I've found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.

24.What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?

A.The power of dreaming.

C.The impact of schooling.

B.His love for reading aloud.

D.His talent for reading.

25.What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?

A.He regrets being a TV host.

C.He has rich acting experience.

B.He has no taste for non-fiction.

D. He is aware of his disadvantages.

26.Why could the author get the job as a narrator?

A.He was specifically invited.

C.He loved reading bedtime stories.

B.He applied for it in person.

D.He had a big crowd of fans.

27.What does the author think of being a narrator?

A.Demanding but enjoyable.

C.Tiring but stress-free.

B.Risky but fruitful.

D.Boring but rewarding.

C

People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer-not whether they volunteer-is what really counts.

For the study,Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3,376 people.Overall,they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers.They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well-only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.

But what really made a difference were people's motives for volunteering.The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need,the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn't volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.

Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it's good for them.“Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it's okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests.Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering." Konrath added, “Of course, it's reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person's main motive.”

28.What does the new study mainly find?

A.How we volunteer makes sense to others.

B.How often we volunteer makes a difference.

C.Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.

D.Why we volunteer has an impact on our health.

29.How did the researchers do the study?

A. By analyzing statistics.

C.By doing lab experiments.

B.By rating volunteers' performances.

D.By grouping participants randomly.

30.Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?

A.To develop abilities.

C.To help the poor people.

B.To make more friends.

D.To solve personal problems.

31.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A.Practical suggestions on further studies.

B.A further explanation of the current findings.

C.Potential applications of the research method.

D.A reasonable doubt about the research results.

Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans,lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface.

The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations（高度）around smaller currents and eddies（漩涡），where much of the oceans' decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question:What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,”said Nadya Shiffer, Swot's program scientist.

By comparison,earlier stdies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line，requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation（外推法）.Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.

“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it's giving us a map of elevations, and that's just a total game changer,”said Tamlin Pavelsky,Swot freshwater science leader.

32.What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?

A.Technology.

B.Climate.

C.Oceans.

D.Water.

83.What is the major mission of Swot?

A.To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.

B.To explain the consequence of global warming.

C.To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.

D.To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate

34.What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?

A.The high-definition computer.

C.Tbe three-dimensional image.

B.Advanced radar technology.

D.An accurate map of elevations.

35.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A.A Solution to Climate Change

B.A Breakthrough in Space Travel

C.First Global Water Survey from Space

D.The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many people think you're either a creative person or you're not. While I agree that some people may be slightly more creative than others, I think creativity is a muscle that can be exercised and improved upon. 36

1.Consume content outside your comfort zone.

We all love reading about stuff in our industry. 37  .If you want to get your creative juices flowing, start consuming content you wouldn't normally consume. Read blogs outside of your industry. Read books outside of your normal choice. Or grab lunch with a complete stranger.

2.Do the “No Bad Ideas Brainstorming”  exercise.

Get at least one other person to join you for a 45–60-minute brainstorm. No technology and no criticism. Bring a topic or idea to the table and write down all your ideas (on actual paper). 38 It's important to do this in person and to make absolutely sure you don't have any negative energy  or feedback throughout the process. You may end up with 100 horrible ideas, but I bet you'll have one or two good ones.

3. 39   

There are studies upon studies that discuss how our diet affects the way we think. Want to start thinking differently? Start giving your body different (and healthier) fuel. You’d be shocked how much more creatively you can think and act when you eat a healthier diet.

4.See a movie in a theater.

Movies on the big scene are one of the last few places you can enjoy a complete sensory experience. The giant bright screen. The thundering surround sound. The smell and taste of fresh popcorn. The somewhat uncomfortable seat with plastic armrests that don't move.40   

A. Eat differently.

B. It may help with motivation.

C.  Start thinking in a different way.

D. And don't comment on a single idea.

E. But typically this doesn't boost creativity.

F.  The key is how to get your creativity strengthened.

G.  Whenever you leave the theatre,  your mind will be filled with ideas.

Housework, I can do it

第二节（满分25分）

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。

I feared going into my room after school. Every day it was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my private room. Today can be no different.

As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. Still, I wouldn't believe. Yesterday, I discovered a chocolate cookie spread around the mouth of my angel statue. Its pink lips were covered in chocolate. Obviously, Callie had shared her cookie with my angel.

I looked around for my little sister, Callie, who had just turned three. I didn't see her. As I checked the sitting room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all around. There were a few headless dolls, some blocks and the remains of a grape stuck into the carpet. I searched around and there she was, sitting on the sofa with the TV remote in her sticky hands. She looked up and saw me. A huge smile broke out on her face, and she laughed, clapping her hands. I was surprised that they didn't stick together.

“Sissy(sister)!!”She jumped off the sofa and ran to me, hugging my knees and almost tripping me over.  “Hi，Callie，”I said，with the slightest smile. I ruffled（抚弄）her long thick hair，and some white crumbs（残渣）fell to the carpet.  “Cheese，sissy”，Callie said， pointing at the crumbs that had settled onto the carpet. I found a strong smell of cheese from them. “Had Callie focused on destroying only the sitting room?” A voice raced across my mind.  “No way. Not my sister, the destroyer. Not my sister, the three-year-old terror.”  I turned around and started the scared climb to my room.

注意：

（1）续写词数应为150左右；

（2）开头已给出。

I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again!

Seeing the tears in her eyes, I bent down and lifted her up gently.
