At the age of 13, Alena Wicker was accepted by the University of Alabama’s Heersink School of Medicine, becoming the youngest black student to study there. As a former NASA intern, she is well on her way to achieving her dreams.
Alena’s mother is not surprised, claiming that her daughter has always been exceptional. “From childhood, Alena was gifted,” Daphne McQuarter, Alena’s mother, says. “It was just how she did things and how advanced she was. She was reading chapter books.”
McQuarter pulled her daughter from school, and homeschooled her during elementary school. Even after Alena returned to school in fifth grade, she continued studying high school subjects on the basis of a curriculum (课程) crafted by her mother.
“I was bored,” Alena explains. “The high school work was so easy for me that I ended up graduating from high school when I was 12. I love school, I love learning, and I love reading. I have a hunger and desire to learn, and that’s just always been me.”
After graduating from high school at age 12，Alena enrolled (登记) in two separate universities, earning degrees in biological sciences from both Arizona State University and Oakwood University.
And, while studying for the accelerated degrees, Alena took the time to inspire others to follow in her footsteps.
Alena started The Brown STEM Girl Foundation, in memory of Katherine Johnson, who had been a pioneering African-American mathematician at NASA. The Foundation’s goal is “to engage, empower, and educate girls of color in STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics”.
Alena promotes her Foundation on Facebook. “It feels amazing to be able to create a path for girls that look like me,” Alena shared. “It doesn’t matter how old you are. You can do it. Don’t let anybody tell you no. I would say to any little girl out there this: Never give up on yourself, and never let someone tell you that you can’t do something.”
4. What do we know about Alena when she was in elementary school?
A. She disliked her school schedules.
B. She earned high scores in all courses.
C. She was mainly taught by her mother.
D. She loved reading novels in her spare time.
5. Which words can best describe Alena’s mother?
A. Proud and humorous. B. Gifted and confident.
C. Strict and committed. D. Wise and creative.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. Alena’s eagerness to learn. B. Alena’s motivation.
C. Alena’s learning style. D. Alena’s identity.
7. Why did Alena start The Brown STEM Girl Foundation?
A. To stress the importance of girls’ education.
B. To encourage girls of color to follow their dreams.
C. To persuade the black to honor Katherine Johnson.
D. To inspire teenagers to study STEM in university.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文章。文章主要介绍了女性Alena Wicker令人羡慕的学历，以此来鼓励更多女性要相信自己，有所追求。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话“McQuarter pulled her daughter from school, and homeschooled her during elementary school.(在小学的时候，McQuarter把她的女儿拉回家，在家进行教育)”可知，小学的时候Alena妈妈主要教她学习。故选C项。
【5题详解】
判断推理题。根据第三段“McQuarter pulled her daughter from school, and homeschooled her during elementary school. Even after Alena returned to school in fifth grade, she continued studying high school subjects on the basis of a curriculum(课程)crafted by her mother.(McQuarter把女儿拉回家，在家里教育她。即使在五年级的时候Alena回到了学校，她也要继续学习她妈妈为她精心制作的高中课程)”可知，妈妈是很明智的。因为女儿天赋极高，在小学里只会埋没她的天赋，因此接回家给予更多的教育，妈妈也是有想象力和创造力的。故选D项。
【6题详解】
段落大意题。根据第四段最后一句“I have a hunger and desire to learn, and that’s just always been me.(我一直渴望学习，我一直是这样的)”可知，第四段主要在讲Alena对学习的渴望。故选A项。

Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens or staying in prams, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).
The new guidelines on physical activity, sedentary (久坐的) behaviour and sleep for children under 5 years of age were developed by a WHO panel of experts. They assessed the effects of inadequate (不足的) sleep on young children, and time spent sitting watching screens or restrained (被限制) in chairs and prams. They also reviewed evidence around the benefits of increased activity levels.
Failure to meet current physical activity recommendations is responsible for more than 5 million deaths globally each year across all age groups. Currently, over 23% of adults and 80% of adolescents are not sufficiently physically active. If healthy physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep habits are established early in life, this helps shape habits through childhood, adolescence and into adulthood.
“What we really need to do is bring back play for children,” says Dr Juana Willumsen, who focuses on childhood obesity and physical activity. “This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while protecting sleep.”
The pattern of overall 24-hour activity is key: replacing sedentary screen time with more active play, while making sure young children get enough good-quality sleep. Quality time spent in interactive non-screen-based activities with a caregiver, such as reading, storytelling, singing and puzzles, is very important for child development.
The important interactions between physical activity, sedentary hehaviour and adequate sleep time, and their impact on physical and mental health and well-being, were fully recognized, which called for clear guidance on physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in young children.
Applying the recommendations in these guidelines during the first five years of life will contribute to children’s motor and cognitive development and lifelong health.
8. What’s the purpose of the WHO issuing new guidelines?
A. To help parents take better care of children.
B. To make sure children grow up healthy.
C. To reduce children’s time spent on TV.
D. To keep children physically active.
9. What does Dr Juana Willumsen intend to tell us?
A. Children need more time to play and sleep.
B. Sitting too much leads to children’s poor health.
C. It is important for children to have healthy food.
D. Parents should play with their children more often.
10. Which activity may be beneficial to children’s development according to the text?
A. Reading on their own.
B. Watching educational TV programs.
C. Searching for puzzles online.
D. Joining the singing club.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The World Health Organization has issued new guidelines
B. To grow up healthy children need to sit less and play more
C. Some good habits that will lead to children’s lifelong health
D. 5 million die globally each year because of unhealthy lifestyle
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens or staying in prams, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).(根据世界卫生组织发布的最新指导方针，要想健康成长，5岁以下的儿童必须减少坐着看屏幕或坐在婴儿车里的时间，获得更好的睡眠质量，并有更多的时间积极玩耍)”可知，世卫组织发布新指南的目的是确保儿童健康成长。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is about making the shift from sedentary time to playtime, while protecting sleep.(这是关于从久坐时间到游戏时间的转变，同时保护睡眠)”可推知，胡安娜·威鲁姆森博士想告诉我们，孩子们需要更多的时间玩耍和睡觉。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Quality time spent in interactive non-screen-based activities with a caregiver, such as reading, storytelling, singing and puzzles, is very important for child development.(高质量的时间与看护者一起进行非屏幕互动活动，如阅读、讲故事、唱歌和拼图，对儿童发展非常重要)”可知，参加唱歌俱乐部可能对孩子的发展有益。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Children under five must spend less time sitting watching screens or staying in prams, get better quality sleep and have more time for active play if they are to grow up healthy, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).(根据世界卫生组织发布的最新指导方针，要想健康成长，5岁以下的儿童必须减少坐着看屏幕或坐在婴儿车里的时间，获得更好的睡眠质量，并有更多的时间积极玩耍)”及下文介绍可知，文章主要介绍了5岁以下的儿童要想健康成长，必须减少坐着看屏幕或坐在婴儿车里的时间，获得更好的睡眠质量，并有更多的时间积极玩耍。由此可知，To grow up healthy children need to sit less and play more(为了健康成长，孩子们需要少坐多玩)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。

Over the past decade or so, camera technology has become more and more integrated into our everyday lives. We use our phone camera to store memories and important information, and cameras help keep people safe while driving. Parallel parking is so much easier now that cars come with rearview cameras.
However, up until now, cameras have also been limited. Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013, but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision, and can be clumsy (笨拙的). They work by essentially merging images coming from two or more cameras. This can lead to distortions (失真). In addition, using the cameras underwater also leads to distortion as light refracts differently underwater.
According to Fast Company, the researchers turned to nature for inspiration. They began by studying the fiddler crab and its compound eye. Unlike humans, fiddler crabs can look in many directions at the same time, giving them a full 360 degree field of vision. In addition, fiddler crabs need to be able to see well both on land and in water.
Dr Fredo Durand, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, told Laser Focus World: “Amphibian creatures are particularly exciting because they need to operate in two environments with vastly different optical characteristics. It’s humbling to learn from nature how to address these challenges.”
The result is a little black round ball of a camera that interprets and understands light in various ways. The scientists tested the camera’s capabilities by projecting a group of images onto the camera at different angles. They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities. It passed with flying colors.
Though the camera is still in the early stages of its development and is not ready for commercial use, the hope is that it will eventually be used to help make cars safer by improving camera quality in general and improving camera capabilities in the rain.
12. Which is a limitation of the wide field of vision cameras?
A. They can only be used underwater.
B. They occupy too much space.
C. They consist of only two cameras.
D. They cover a limited field of vision.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A The surprising adaptability of the fiddler crab.
B. The advantages of the fiddler crab’s compound eye.
C. The way of carrying out research into creatures.
D. The possibility of having a 360 degree field of vision.
14. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 5?
A. Designed. B. Repaired. C. Drowned. D. Abandoned.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the camera?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Carefree.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。近十年来，相机技术已经越来越多地融入我们的日常生活。研究人员从自然界中寻找灵感，研究并开发了一种新款相机，可以用来提高相机的整体性能。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“However, up until now, cameras have also been limited.Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013, but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision, and can be clumsy.(然而，到目前为止，相机也受到了限制。宽视野相机早在2013年就已经出现了，但这些相机只有180度的视野，而且可能很笨拙)”可知，宽视野相机覆盖的视野有限。故选D项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“According to Fast Company, the researchers turned to nature for inspiration. They began by studying the fiddler crab and its compound eye. Unlike humans, fiddler crabs can look in many directions at the same time, giving them a full 360 degree field of vision. In addition, fiddler crabs need to be able to see well both on land and in water.(据Fast Company说，研究人员从大自然中寻找灵感。他们开始研究招潮蟹和它的复眼。与人类不同的是，招潮蟹可以同时看向多个方向，这让它们拥有360度的视野。此外，招潮蟹需要在陆地和水中都有很好的视力)”可知，本段主要描述了招潮蟹复眼的优点。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段划线句“They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities.(他们还将相机immersed在浴缸中，以测试其水下能力)”可知，为了测试相机水下能力，要将相机浸泡在水中，immerse与drown意思相符。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Though the camera is still in the early stages of its development and is not ready for commercial use, the hope is that it will eventually be used to help make cars safer by improving camera quality in general and improving camera capabilities in the rain.(虽然这款相机仍处于开发的早期阶段，还没有准备好投入商业使用，但人们希望它最终能通过提高相机的整体质量和提高雨天的相机性能，来帮助提高汽车的安全性)”可知，作者对于这款相机的态度是积极的。故选A项。

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。
I would like to tell you a story about myself. It was a cold January night when I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. Tired, I almost had no time to relax. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. I said to myself, “It is time to say goodbye.” City life had become too much for me. I had expected to realize my dreams in such a big city but it seemed that I was abandoned. No one noticed me and no one cared for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small. It was freezing cold with wind blowing wildly. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from some possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. In spite of this, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Inside the wallet was the money that I depended on to pay for the rent this month. Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. What I desperately wanted was my missing wallet, my precious wallet, without which I couldn’t cover my expenses.
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。
So I took action immediately.

A voice from the inside of the garbage (垃圾) truck caught my attention.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
So I took action immediately. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. I bent down, searching the street carefully by the light of shining streetlight. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously, my wallet was nowhere to be found. “The homeless people must have picked it up,” my heart sank at the thought of it. I was stuck in a lot of depression. I was thinking of giving up the search when I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me.
A voice from the inside of the garbage (垃圾) truck caught my attention. Then a man with an amused look in his eye came out from the truck. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked. It was the very wallet that I was searching for. Tears of appreciation welled up in my eyes as I accepted the wallet. Not only did I get my wallet back, but I also got back some enjoyment of life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
