A 9-year-old girl from Maryland has made an important discovery: a 15 million-year-old megalodon(巨齿鲨) tooth.
Molly Sampson, along with her sister Natalie, 17, and her dad, Bruce Sampson, went out to hunt "treasure" in a bay near Calvert Cliffs on Christmas morning. At around 10:30, Molly saw her Christmas miracle: a 5-inch-long megalodon tooth. Her sister and father went over to see what Molly was so excited about. Bruce said he was shocked by his daughter’s "once-in-a-lifetime find." "This is the kind of find every fossil hunter dreams of," he said. They were amazed by the discovery.
"I was so excited because of the size and rarity of the find, and I kept thinking I was dreaming," Molly said. "It was something I have always wanted to find, and I couldn’t believe it." This is not the first time she’s found a megalodon tooth during her fossil hunts—but she’s never found one that large. "I have found five other megalodon teeth, but they are only an inch or two in size," she said.
"Molly’s tooth would have come from a teenager shark between 45-50 feet long. The largest megalodons could have grown to be 65 feet long. Based on the tooth, the creature was about 15 million years old," said Dr. Stephen Godfrey, a famous paleontologist(古生物学家).
Megalodons lived from about 25 million years ago to about 2.5 million years ago. They were one of the—if not the largest marine predators(海洋捕食性动物) the world has ever known. "They shaped the global marine ecosystem, and global marine food-webs," said Godfrey.
Molly Sampson has been fossil hunting with her dad ever since she was little. "I will never stop!" she said. "When I grow up, I want to collect fossils and study them like a paleontologist."
24、Which aspect of the shark tooth shocked Bruce?
A. Its age. B. Its size. C. Its quality. D. Its owner.
25、What can we learn about Molly?
A. She received a Christmas gift from his dad.
B. She disliked staying at home at Christmas.
C. She came across a teenager shark.
D. She has found at least 6 megalodon teeth.
26、What can we infer from Dr. Stephen Godfrey’s words?
A. Megalodons shouldn’t be hunted.
B. The tooth belonged to the largest megalodon.
C. The tooth dates back to 25 million years ago.
D. Megalodons once played a critical role in the ocean.
27、What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce megalodons to readers.
B. To report a little girl’s unusual discovery.
C. To excite readers’ interest in fossil hunting.
D. To promote the public’s awareness of animal protection.
A new recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) says doctors should treat childhood obesity actively.
The problem of being overweight affects over 14 million American children. Doctors say carrying extra weight often results in lifelong health problems. Children can develop high blood pressure, diabetes and depression.
In the past, many doctors thought children would grow out of bad eating habits. They used the method of “wait and see” to decide what to do. But the new guidelines say overweight children should receive operations or take medicine to reduce their weight. The new guidelines recommend weight loss drugs for children as young as 12 and operations starting at 13.
Semaglutide is the drug described in the report. It has recently received approval as an obesity treatment for children 12 and older. It is reported that teenagers have used the drug and reduced their BMI by about 16%.
Ihuoma Eneli, one of the writers of the new guidelines, disagrees with the old guidelines. She said, “Waiting doesn’t work.” She said doctors usually see “a continuation of weight gain and the possibility that children will have obesity in adulthood.” Eneli said the drugs or operations should go along with life changes, which means children need help choosing better foods and finding ways to exercise more.
Dr. Claudia Fox, a weight management doctor at the University of Minnesota, said semaglutide helps her patients have a “possibility of even having an almost normal BMI.” Justin Ryder, a Chicago doctor, said the drug helps patients feel more full than they would be without it. “In addition,” he said, “working out is necessary.”
Dr. Stephanie Byrne, a doctor in Los Angeles, said she still wants to see more research on how semaglutide affects many different children. However, she said, she is glad pediatricians are starting to think differently about obesity. “I definitely think that diet and exercise won’t do it for a number of teens who are struggling with this,” she said.
28、What does the method of “wait and see” refer to?
A. Patients have to wait for new drugs. B. Patients should receive operations.
C. Doctors wait for new research. D. Doctors don’t take any measures.
29、What do Ihuoma Eneli and Dr. Claudia Fox think of taking semaglutide?
A. It can avoid being overweight.
B. It’s better than operating on patients.
C. It should be combined with exercising.
D. It is the best option for overweight children.
30、What is Dr. Stephanie Byrme’s attitude towards semaglutide?
A. Supportive. B. Unfavorable. C. Cautious. D. Unconcerned.
31、Which might be the best title of the text?
A. US starting to take action to deal with children obesity
B. US doctors offering new guidelines on children obesity
C. New ways found to deal with children obesity in the US
D. American children faced with the serious problem of obesity
Designers are increasingly using different kinds of materials to produce products that do not harm the environment. Reused plastic bottles, wood, plant fiber, and even seaweed are being used in place of traditional materials for household goods and clothing.
Nina Edwards Anker’s electronic lights look like ancient pieces of paper placed around LEDs. But a closer look shows that they are made of algae(海藻). Anker came up with the idea while working on a doctoral research project at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. She wants to find ways to mix design ideas with production and supply methods that do not use up resources.
Heimtextil is an international trade show for new textiles(纺织品) in Frankfurt, Germany. This year’s show placed attention on making new products that came from reused materials. Olaf Schmidt, vice president of textile technology, said, “We’ll see companies bespeaking how materials like nylon, plastic and metal can be reused—for example, carpet tiles (方块地砖) that can be reused at the end of their life as materials for new tiles.”
Fashion industry expert Veronika Lipar described the field’s most important change—a move to sustainability(持续性). She said, “The industry is trying to reduce ‘effect’ on the environment and no longer be the biggest polluter.”
Patagonia, North Face and Timberland are among the companies now using natural materials to produce goods. Italian company Frumat has developed a plant-based leather made from the waste created by apple juice makers. Two Mexican developers, Adrian Lopez Velarde and Marte Cazarez, have created a leather using cactus(仙人掌) leaves. Cactuses interest new material developers because they can live in hot climates and poor soil. Meanwhile, Pinatex helps support farms in the Philippines by using waste from the pineapple harvest to create material that is sold to makers of shoes, clothing and other products.
32、Why are Nina Edwards Anker’s electronic lights made of algae?
A. To save resources. B. To cut down the costs.
C. To improve the lights’ quality. D. To produce more electronic lights.
33、What does the underlined word “bespeaking” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Responding. B. Predicting. C. Refusing. D. Displaying.
34、What do Veronika Lipar’s words suggest?
A. Fashion industry is not satisfying people’s demands.
B. Fashion industry does great harm to the environment.
C. Fashion industry uses lots of environment-friendly materials.
D. Fashion industry has been developing too fast over the years.
35、How does the author mainly develop the text?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By providing examples.
C. By listing data and analyzing them.
D. By asking questions and answering them.
三、七选五
36、 What exactly is a computer? That’s not always an easy question to answer. Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines a computer as “a programmable usually electronic device that can store, retrieve(检索), and process data”. ①_____
For thousands of years, people have tried to improve their lives by inventing machines to make certain tasks easier. Some people believe a simple mechanical device called an “abacus” was one of the earliest forms of a computer. ②_____ Archaeologists have found evidence that the ancient Greeks used the abacus as early as the 5th century B.C.
Modern computers were developed much more recently. The first modern electronic computer—known as the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer or ENIAC—became operational in 1946. Weighing more than 30 tons, ENIAC took up as much space as 1,800 square feet. ③_____ While ENIAC could perform 5,000 addition problems per second, many of today’s laptop computers weigh just a few pounds and can perform several billion operations per second.
④_____ Large desktop computers gave way to laptops. Laptops have developed into a wide variety of even smaller computing devices, such as netbooks and tablet computers. Many people even carry computers with them everywhere they go. Smartphones—cellular telephones with advanced computing capabilities—fit easily into a pocket and allow their users to make telephone calls, surf the Internet, and conduct business on the go.
So what’s the smallest computer available today? As of 2015, the smallest computer is just one cubic millimeter. However, today’s computer manufacturers are constantly producing newer and smaller models at a rate too fast to keep up with. ⑤_____
A. Today, we rely on computers for all sorts of things.
B. Today’s computers keep getting smaller and smaller.
C. Ancient people used the device to perform simple calculations(计算).
D. Since then, computers have become much smaller and much more powerful.
E. Others think a computer is anything that transforms information in a meaningful way.
F. Modern laptops are slow compared to modern supercomputers.
G. Whatever is smallest today will probably be replaced with something even smaller tomorrow!

54、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。
Josibelk Aponte considers herself lucky. Few people get to meet their guardian angels(守护天使).
Aponte has a special place in her heart for retired Hartford police officer Peter Getz who stood with her as if she were his own child, as she graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University on Tuesday.
“There are only a few moments that are so important in life,” Aponte said. “I wanted to share my graduation with everyone who’s important to me, who has been there for me, and who helped me through tough times.”
Getz certainly fits that description: He saved Aponte on June 25, 2004, a day the 23-year-old describes as the “best and worst day” of her life.
“I almost died, but I was given a second chance at life,” she said. “And it was because of Peter and all the kind people who came to help that day. They were my heroes.”
A fire in the Aponte family’s apartment broke out as Josibelk, then 5 years old, was home with her uncle Jofrey. She tried, in vain, to wake up Jofrey. Then, darkness. Meanwhile, Getz, a policeman, got there in time to see a firefighter pull a small girl from the building. In his rush to get back inside to put out the flames, the firefighter threw Aponte into Getz’s arms.
Doctors hadn’t arrived yet. Aponte had nearly stopped breathing. Getz carried out CPR(心肺复苏术) in the police car as his partner sped toward Hartford Hospital. By the time Getz passed her off to the hospital staff of the emergency room, Aponte was breathing on her own.
Aponte woke up hours later, surrounded by her family. Getz went to see her several times before the girl fully recovered. Aponte said she still has the teddy bear that Getz gave her during her hospital stay.
As time passed, they lost touch with each other as Aponte’s family moved to Vernon.
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。
About two years ago, Aponte tried to contact Getz through social media.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the graduation ceremony, many people came to Getz and spoke highly of his bravery.

17、答案：B
解析：M: You want to know the first time I went to the cinema? Well, I will talk about it now. It was a Saturday morning in 1937, when I was five years old. My father took me to the cinema that very afternoon.
The size of it amazed me, and I loved the atmosphere immediately. In those days there was a girl who showed you to your seats in the dark if you arrived after the film had started and she was there with her boxes of sweets and ice cream in the breaks. My mother had given me some money before we left home, so I queued up and bought myself some chocolate.
But the film itself was the most important thing. When the curtains opened and the lights went down, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were sudden changes of scenes that took my breath away, and action that was shown from many different angles. Obviously audiences are used to all of that now. These days film scenes only last a few seconds and are filled with special effects. In those days one scene could last for several minutes. And of course the sets were very basic, if you compare them to today’s. But the performances the actors gave were wonderful. I had never experienced anything like it and I loved the cinema from that point on. And now I’m a film director.

52、答案：①a②measuring③frequency④to⑤detailed⑥negatively⑦have seen⑧are⑨to survive⑩where
解析：①考查冠词。句意:由昆士兰大学教授肖恩·麦克斯韦尔博士领导的一项野生动物研究揭示了不同物种如何对重大气候事件做出反应。可数名词professor在句中表示"(昆士兰大学的)一位教授",泛指,professor发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
②考查动名词。句意: "我们花了70多年的时间来测量不同物种的反应,"麦克斯韦尔博士说。spend...doing."花费时间做某事"是固定搭配,用动名词作宾语。故填measuring。
③考查不可数名词。句意:飓风、干旱和洪水等极端天气事件日益频繁,正在给生态系统造成不可预测的直接变化。提示词在句中作主语,用名词frequency,表示抽象概念"频繁",为不可数名词。故填frequency。
④考查介词。句意:飓风、干旱和洪水等极端天气事件日益频繁,正在给生态系统造成不可预测的直接变化。cause...to...是固定搭配,意为"给……带来……,给……造成……",to是介词。故填to。
⑤考查形容词。句意:昆士兰大学生物多样性和保护科学中心主任詹姆斯·沃森教授说,详细的信息将有助于为生态系统管理提供信息。提示词作定语,修饰名词information,用形容词detailed,意为"详细的"。故填detailed。
⑥考查副词。句意:研究清楚地表明,物种对极端事件的反应往往是消极的。根据句意,提示词修饰动词respond,应用副词negatively,意为"消极地"。故填negatively。
⑦考查动词时态语态。句意:在过去的几十年里,我们已经看到了100多个极端事件后人口急剧下降和31个当地人口灭绝的案例。see(看到)是句中谓语动词,与主语we之间是主动关系,句中有时间状语In the past few decades,应使用现在完成时态,又因主语是复数代词,所以谓语动词也应使用复数形式。综上,谓语应用现在完成时态。故填have seen。
⑧考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:随着极端气候和天气事件越来越普遍,我们需要采取行动,确保物种有最好的生存条件。提示词时间状语从句中系动词,结合句意和时间状语now可知,应使用一般现在时态,主语climate and weather events是复数名词。故填are。
⑨考查动词不定式。句意:随着极端气候和天气事件越来越普遍,我们需要采取行动,确保物种有最好的生存条件。形容词最高级后面用动词不定式作后置定语。故填to survive。
⑩考查定语从句。句意:只要有可能,高质量和完整的栖息地应该得到保护,因为这些地方的物种对日益增加的极端事件的抵抗力最强。分析句子可知,空格处为限制性定语从句,修饰先行词places,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,表示"在这些地方",应使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。

54、答案：
About 1wo years ago, Aponte tried to contact Getz through social media. “We really appreciate Peter putting himself in danger to save others,” said Aponte. “I owe gratitude to Peter. Had it not been for people like Peter, all of our police officers and firefighters, I couldn’t be alive now. Now I’ll graduate from college. I do hope he can attend my graduation ceremony.” To the great delight of Aponte, she eventually found Getz with the help of many kind people. Since then, the two got together regularly, sometimes meeting for lunch.
At the graduation ceremony, many people came to Getz and spoke highly of his bravery. In response, he said, “I simply did what I was trained to do, what I had to do. It is my duty. The firemen did their job, I did my job, and the hospital staff did their job. They were really heroes.” After a short pause, Getz continued, “How I wish I were as young as you! If I were 20 years younger, I would like to return to college for further education.”
