Darcie Hayward will have her five-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Sora, put paws on the pavement every day of the next month to raise funds for Guide Dogs Australia’s PAWGUST campaign.
The initiative, which encourages Australians to walk their dogs for 30 minutes a day for 30 days, is a cause close to the 29-year-old’s heart. Her younger blind brother Lachie, 27, was recently matched with a guide dog of his own, black Labrador Eddie in May after 18 months of tests and compatibility(相容)training.
“Since Eddie arrived, Lachie has been able to walk around without his cane(手杖), feeling like he is just walking his dog, ” said Darcie, who lives in Langwarrin, Victoria. “They are best friends. ” Seeing the difference a guide dog made to her brother, Darcie was overjoyed to be raising funds, so other Australians could one day have their own companion dogs, like Lachie.
“Many people see a guide dog and go, not realizing how much it takes to raise a guide dog puppy so I want to raise some awareness, ” said Darcie. “It’s amazing to see how Lachie’s life has improved, but there are many people without that companionship. It’s really nice to be able to contribute in any way I can. I shared the experience on our local community web page, mentioning we are raising money for guide dogs. Surprisingly, a couple of strangers donated. ”
It seems that Eddie has already been a popular pup with the locals. “There are so many kids who have been asking to pat Eddie that Lachie has to reject them, ” Darcie added with a smile. Excited to be making a positive impact by walking her own dog, Darcie is eager to encourage more people to fetch their leashes(牵狗用的皮带) and tie up their trainers to take action.

All those Christmas toys and books may spread more than good cheer. A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.
The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than that has been believed.
The researchers said the study suggests that additional preventive measures may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria are spread, ” said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology andI immunology in UB. “Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ”
S. pneumoniae(肺炎链球菌)is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections. Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.
To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes(化脓性链球菌), even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.
“Bacterial colonization(细菌增殖)doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first step if an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected. ”
8. What does the study find?
A. Schools need more preventive measures.
B. Bacteria seriously affect children’s health.
C. Child-related toys can spread many diseases.
D. Two bacteria can live on items for a long time.
9. Which of the following can best describe the findings?
A. Interesting. B. Shocking.
C. Pioneering. D. Frightening.
10. Why are the tests mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To give some relevant examples.
B. To show the reasons for the study.
C. To list some experimental methods.
D. To provide support for the findings.
11. What is the key factor in the formation of infection according to Anders Hakansson?
A. Immune systems.
B. Bacterial colonization.
C. S. pneumoniae.
D. S. pyogenes.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明, 两种常见的细菌可长时间存在于物品的表面。因此, 研究人员建议采取额外措施以预防细菌传播。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.”（一项新的研究得出结论，两种常见的致感冒、耳朵感染和喉咙痛的细菌可以在玩具、书籍和其他物品的表面长时间存活，即使在清洁之后也是如此。）可知, 研究表明两种常见的细菌可长时间存在于物品的表面。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句““Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ””（“以前从来没有任何论文直接证明这些细菌可以在包括手在内的各种表面上生存，并可能在个体之间传播。”）可知, 以前是没有任何论文证明这个发现的。由此可知, 这个发现是开拓性的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。结合第五段“To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes(化脓性链球菌), even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.”（为了得出他们的结论，UB 的研究人员在一家日托中心对玩具的表面进行了测试。他们发现，五分之四的玩具被检测出肺炎链球菌阳性，一些表面，如婴儿床，即使在清洁后也被检测出化脓性链球菌阳性。这项测试是在中心早上开门之前进行的，所以距离上次人类接触已经过去了好几个小时。）可知，第五段介绍了检验过程, 是为了给这个研究结果提供证据。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Bacterial colonization(细菌增殖)doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first stepif an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, ”（“细菌增殖本身并不会引起感染，但是如果感染要在人类宿主中建立起来，这是必要的第一步,”Hakansson 解释说）可知，细菌增殖是感染的第一步。故选B项。
D
“All of our senses convert (转换) physical energy in the surrounding world into electrical responses. which are the common currency that the nervous system uses, “ said James Hudspeth from Rockefeller University.
Hudspeth said, “Our ears have to convert mechanical vibrations(震动)in the air into electrical responses. And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. These cells have little microscopic bristles(刚毛), about a hundred of them, and on the top of each cell, these bristles vibrate back and forth in response to sound. That sets up an electrical signal that goes down a nerve fiber and into the brain. ”
Hudspeth continued, “The real question is what happens with these hair cells as they degenerate. We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”
Another expert, Robert Fettiplace said, “Well, I mean there are two aspects to this, one of which is that you could try and regrow them. Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. The cells are all different. ”
Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ”
Hudspeth added, “I agree that there is an enormous challenge, and this is certainly some- thing that won’t happen overnight in ourselves. But I don’t think it’s a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode (解码) the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ”
12. How is the conversion achieved according to the text?
A. Through the brain.
B. Through hair cells.
C. Through physical energy.
D. Through certain drugs.
13. What does the underlined word “degenerate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Worsen. B. Form.
C. Proceed. D. Extend.
14. What does the enormous challenge mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Replacing cells.
B. Receiving signals.
C. Restoring hearing.
D. Reconnecting pathways.
15. Which may be the best title for the text?
A. How do electrical responses work?
B. How can we decode hearing signals?
C. What results in mechanical vibrations?
D. What can animals teach hearing researchers?
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。有些动物虽然丧失了听力, 但是有恢复的可能。人类也许能从它们身上借鉴一些经验。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. ”（这样做的方法是有所谓的毛细胞。）可知, 这种转化通过所谓的毛细胞来实现。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. ”（我们失去了它们，由于巨大的声音和某些药物，并且因为老化我们失去了它们。）可知, 本段引出问题“这些毛细胞退化时会发生什么”。因而划线词的含义为“退化”，选项A意思接近，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?””（我们失去了它们，由于巨大声音和某些药物，并且因为老化我们失去了它们。我们可以做些什么来修复它们，以便我们能够恢复听力?”）第四段中“ Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. ”（几乎所有的听力损失都是由于毛细胞的死亡或者毛细胞缺乏形成。）第五段“Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ””（哈德斯佩思说：“罗伯特提到的问题是针对哺乳动物的，包括我们自己。这种情况与其他四条腿的动物不同。但是，爬行动物，包括鸟类，这种再生一直在进行，就像鱼类一样。事实上，你可以带一只鸡去听音乐会，把它的耳朵炸掉。它们会很好地再生，即使有特定频率的毛细胞，它们也会重新连接起来，动物将能够再次正常地听到声音。”）最后一段中“this is certainly some- thing that won’t happen overnight in ourselves.”（这肯定是不会在一夜之间发生在我们自己身上的事情。）可知文章中讲到很多原因会导致我们的听力丧失, 有些动物却能恢复听力, 或许人类也可以恢复听力, 由此引出最后一段的“这是个非常大的挑战, 因为恢复听力肯定不会一夜之间就在我们人类身上发生”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合文章中第三段最后一句“What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”（我们可以做些什么来修复它们，以便我们能够恢复听力?）及最后一段中“But I don’t think it’s a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode (解码) the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ””（但是我不认为这是一个没有希望的任务，我认为基本上许多人正在尝试做的是解码发送的信号，随着这些毛细胞的发展，并通过这样做来识别信号通路，可能会重新激活原来的发展和恢复毛细胞的手段。”）同时结合文章其它段落内容可知，文章中讲到很多原因会导致我们的听力丧失, 有些动物却能恢复听力, 或许人类也可以恢复听力, 因而本文的主要内容可以是, 人类也许能从动物身上借鉴一些恢复听力的经验。故选D。

Having a vegetable garden offers many health benefits. Here are reasons why a home vegetable garden beats even the farmers’ market when it comes to your health and well-being.
___16___.
Gardening is very physical. What makes gardening better than a gym workout is that it happens outdoors with fresh air and sunshine. Whether you are weeding in the down- ward dog position, or digging bags of soil, a garden delivers the full gym experience, from cardio right down to yoga.
Your garden provides you with a raw diet. Most homegrown crops taste better than store-bought but no vegetable takes this to the next level like sweet peas. ___17___, but most gardeners find that even a few vines (藤) are worth the space. A handful of freshly-shelled, raw sweet peas bursting into your mouth on a summer morning have few rivals in the food kingdom.
___18___.
The average consumer remains at the mercy of the produce buyer at the local market, but once the home gardener discovers the diversity of colors and tastes that can be homegrown, a nutrient-rich vegetable choice opens up. Heirloom (原种的) tomatoes range in color from deep purple and nearly black to golden yellow and pale white. Besides the color, there is another benefit. ___19___ .
Your garden allows you to give. ___20___, but nothing feels as great as when you share food. Imagine how it feels for others to receive fresh homegrown vegetables. A basket of heir- loom cherry tomatoes can disappear faster than a box of donuts deep fried in fat.
A. It’s nice to receive gifts
B. We know that it feels good to give
C. Your garden lets you eat the rainbow
D. The vegetable garden makes you a chef
E. Growing vegetables helps you take exercise
F. Experts may not recommend sweet peas for small gardens

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国杂技的发展历程。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现代杂技主要依靠表演者柔软的身体来完成一系列高难度动作。本句涉及短语为：depend on sb./sth. to do sth.。故填to complete。
【37题详解】
考查语态。句意：它可以在许多表演艺术和许多体育运动中找到。本句主语it，指代Modern acrobatics。它和find之间构成了被动关系, 所以这里要用被动语态。空前是情态动词，所以空处填be found，故填be found。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：杂技通常与广泛运用体操技巧的活动有关，例如马戏团和体操，但许多其他体育活动，例如武术、芭蕾舞和跳水，也可能运用杂技的元素。分析可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词activities在定语从句中作主语, 所以要用that或which。故填that/which。
【39题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意同上。element意为“要素”时是可数名词。这里要用它的复数形式表示泛指。故填elements。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：到了汉代，杂技艺术在内容和形式上都有了进一步的发展，在舞台上出现了音乐伴奏的精彩表演。结合time of Han Dynasty，可知，这里要用定冠词the表示特指汉朝。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据句意可知, 这里要用with表示伴随。表示在舞台上出现了音乐伴奏的精彩表演。故填with。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：唐代是中国古代最繁荣的时期，杂技演员的数量明显增加，表演技巧也得到了很大的提高。副词修饰动词，significantly是副词，意为“显著地”，修饰动词 increased。故填significantly。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：在危险的运动中有很大的稳定性，在行动中有很大的安静性。空处在句中作主语，根据空前的There is much可知，这里要填名词stability。故填stability。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：现代杂技旨在创造优美的舞台形象，和谐的音乐伴奏，良好的配套效果，道具和灯光。分析句子可知，这里要用形容词harmonious 修饰名词短语musical accompaniment。故填harmonious。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：过去50年来，中国杂技团先后走访世界上一百多个国家和地区，在国际杂技节和世界杂技锦标赛上获得数十个奖项。当“in the past＋days/months/years”在句中作状语时，句子的谓语常用现在完成时。句子主语 many Chinese acrobatic troupes为复数含义，所以助动词用have，故填have visited。

“Bye, Mom! Don’t forget to make my pie!” shouted 12-year-old Jake after kissing his mother, Susan, goodbye.
He was anxiously waiting for the bus. Moments later, the bus pulled over, and Jake hopped in, assuming it was just going to be an ordinary ride to school. “Luckily, Mom gave me $6. Otherwise I’d have to walk all the way to school,” he thought.
The bus came to a stop, picking up Christel, a 56-year-old woman from the next stop. She was smelly and looked dirty. Some passengers frowned at her, but she was least bothered about them. Moments later, she trembled through the crowd toward an empty seat next to Jake.
“Ticket, please?!” the conductor said loudly, staring at her. Christel’s face slowly started to go red. “One second, I’m looking for my purse,” she replied. “I...uh...I don’t have money. I forgot to bring my purse,” Christel stammered (结结巴巴地说), embarrassed.
“Lady, this is not a charity ride that picks up beggars for free. I’m stopping the bus right now. Get out!” yelled the conductor as the crowd of passengers turned toward Christel all at once.
Jake witnessed everything and was disappointed at how the conductor treated the poor woman. Then he remembered he still had some change. “Here is your $3...Give her a ticket,” he said to the conductor, throwing the money into his hand.
“Thank you, sweetheart. I am forever grateful to you! What is your name, dear?” said Christel.
“I’m Jake. That’s okay. I just did what I should do,” replied Jake, taking Christel’s words of gratitude casually.
They talked about Jake’s school life. “I want to become a baseball player, but my school does not have such facilities. I don’t want to trouble my mom. She’s already working hard in the restaurant. My father passed away in an accident two years ago,” revealed Jake.
“Alright, Grandma! We’ve arrived at my school. I’ll leave now. Bye-bye!”
Christel was touched by Jake’s warm heart. She stared a second time at his school, watching him disappear inside the gate.
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。
The next day Christel paid a surprising visit to the school in her expensive car.

【答案】参考范文:
The next day Christel paid a surprising visit to the school in her expensive car. Jake was shocked to see her outside his classroom. “I came here to see you. Please follow me to your principal’s office,” said Christel, confusing Jake, who had no idea how his life would change. Christel greeted the principal and told him about her encounter with Jake, expressing gratitude for Jake’s help. Christel turned out to be a wealthy and successful woman. “You must be really proud of your student!” she told the principal.
Jake didn’t realize a bigger surprise was waiting for him outside the principal’s office. “Jake, honey, do you mind visiting your field?” asked Christel. Jake did as she told, hurrying to the school playground. Christel had hired top-class designers to change the ground into a big ballpark. Jake couldn’t believe his own eyes, staring at the latest equipment for the new ballpark. Christel helped to hire an experienced baseball coach for the school. Christel smiled happily, watching Jake and his friends running in the field.

Darcie Hayward will have her five-year-old Alaskan Malamute, Sora, put paws on the pavement every day of the next month to raise funds for Guide Dogs Australia’s PAWGUST campaign.
The initiative, which encourages Australians to walk their dogs for 30 minutes a day for 30 days, is a cause close to the 29-year-old’s heart. Her younger blind brother Lachie, 27, was recently matched with a guide dog of his own, black Labrador Eddie in May after 18 months of tests and compatibility(相容)training.
“Since Eddie arrived, Lachie has been able to walk around without his cane(手杖), feeling like he is just walking his dog, ” said Darcie, who lives in Langwarrin, Victoria. “They are best friends. ” Seeing the difference a guide dog made to her brother, Darcie was overjoyed to be raising funds, so other Australians could one day have their own companion dogs, like Lachie.
“Many people see a guide dog and go, not realizing how much it takes to raise a guide dog puppy so I want to raise some awareness, ” said Darcie. “It’s amazing to see how Lachie’s life has improved, but there are many people without that companionship. It’s really nice to be able to contribute in any way I can. I shared the experience on our local community web page, mentioning we are raising money for guide dogs. Surprisingly, a couple of strangers donated. ”
It seems that Eddie has already been a popular pup with the locals. “There are so many kids who have been asking to pat Eddie that Lachie has to reject them, ” Darcie added with a smile. Excited to be making a positive impact by walking her own dog, Darcie is eager to encourage more people to fetch their leashes(牵狗用的皮带) and tie up their trainers to take action.
4. What is the campaign?
A. A charitable event.
B. A training course.
C. A walking test.
D. A community action.
5. What effect did Eddie have on Lachie?
A. Slight.
B. Positive.
C. Potential.
D. Undesirable.
6. Why did Darcie share the experience?
A. To save more guide dogs.
B. To spread Lachie’s story.
C. To help more blind people.
D. To interact with the neighbors.
7. What does Darcie want people to do?
A. Do more walking.
B. Raise their own dogs.
C. Donate some leashes.
D. Get involved in the campaign.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D
【解析】

All those Christmas toys and books may spread more than good cheer. A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.
The findings just published in the journal Infection and Immunity show some bacteria continue to exist on surfaces for far longer than that has been believed.
The researchers said the study suggests that additional preventive measures may be necessary to prevent infections, especially in settings such as schools, daycare centers, and hospitals. “These findings should make us more cautious about bacteria in the environment since they change our ideas about how these particular bacteria are spread, ” said Anders Hakansson, assistant professor of microbiology andI immunology in UB. “Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ”
S. pneumoniae(肺炎链球菌)is widespread in daycare centers and a common cause of hospital infections. Hakansson explained to us that it commonly causes sore throat and skin infections in children and adults.
To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes(化脓性链球菌), even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.
“Bacterial colonization(细菌增殖)doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first step if an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, “Children, the elderly and others with weak immune systems are easily infected. ”
8. What does the study find?
A. Schools need more preventive measures.
B. Bacteria seriously affect children’s health.
C. Child-related toys can spread many diseases.
D. Two bacteria can live on items for a long time.
9. Which of the following can best describe the findings?
A. Interesting. B. Shocking.
C. Pioneering. D. Frightening.
10. Why are the tests mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To give some relevant examples.
B. To show the reasons for the study.
C. To list some experimental methods.
D. To provide support for the findings.
11. What is the key factor in the formation of infection according to Anders Hakansson?
A. Immune systems.
B. Bacterial colonization.
C. S. pneumoniae.
D. S. pyogenes.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。研究表明, 两种常见的细菌可长时间存在于物品的表面。因此, 研究人员建议采取额外措施以预防细菌传播。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has concluded that two common bacteria that cause colds, ear infections and sore throat can live for long periods on the surfaces of toys, books, and other items, even after being cleaned.”（一项新的研究得出结论，两种常见的致感冒、耳朵感染和喉咙痛的细菌可以在玩具、书籍和其他物品的表面长时间存活，即使在清洁之后也是如此。）可知, 研究表明两种常见的细菌可长时间存在于物品的表面。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句““Never before has any paper directly proved that these bacteria can survive well on various surfaces, including hands, and potentially spread between individuals. ””（“以前从来没有任何论文直接证明这些细菌可以在包括手在内的各种表面上生存，并可能在个体之间传播。”）可知, 以前是没有任何论文证明这个发现的。由此可知, 这个发现是开拓性的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。结合第五段“To reach their conclusions, the UB researchers tested the surfaces of toys in a daycare center. They found four out of five toys tested positive for S. pneumoniae and several sur- faces, such as baby beds, tested positive for S. pyogenes(化脓性链球菌), even after being cleaned. The testing was done just before the center opening in the morning so it had been many hours since the last human contact.”（为了得出他们的结论，UB 的研究人员在一家日托中心对玩具的表面进行了测试。他们发现，五分之四的玩具被检测出肺炎链球菌阳性，一些表面，如婴儿床，即使在清洁后也被检测出化脓性链球菌阳性。这项测试是在中心早上开门之前进行的，所以距离上次人类接触已经过去了好几个小时。）可知，第五段介绍了检验过程, 是为了给这个研究结果提供证据。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Bacterial colonization(细菌增殖)doesn’t, by itself, cause infection but it’s a necessary first stepif an infection is going to become established in a human host, ” Hakansson explains, ”（“细菌增殖本身并不会引起感染，但是如果感染要在人类宿主中建立起来，这是必要的第一步,”Hakansson 解释说）可知，细菌增殖是感染的第一步。故选B项。
D
“All of our senses convert (转换) physical energy in the surrounding world into electrical responses. which are the common currency that the nervous system uses, “ said James Hudspeth from Rockefeller University.
Hudspeth said, “Our ears have to convert mechanical vibrations(震动)in the air into electrical responses. And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. These cells have little microscopic bristles(刚毛), about a hundred of them, and on the top of each cell, these bristles vibrate back and forth in response to sound. That sets up an electrical signal that goes down a nerve fiber and into the brain. ”
Hudspeth continued, “The real question is what happens with these hair cells as they degenerate. We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”
Another expert, Robert Fettiplace said, “Well, I mean there are two aspects to this, one of which is that you could try and regrow them. Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. The cells are all different. ”
Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ”
Hudspeth added, “I agree that there is an enormous challenge, and this is certainly some- thing that won’t happen overnight in ourselves. But I don’t think it’s a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode (解码) the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ”
12. How is the conversion achieved according to the text?
A. Through the brain.
B. Through hair cells.
C. Through physical energy.
D. Through certain drugs.
13. What does the underlined word “degenerate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Worsen. B. Form.
C. Proceed. D. Extend.
14. What does the enormous challenge mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Replacing cells.
B. Receiving signals.
C. Restoring hearing.
D. Reconnecting pathways.
15. Which may be the best title for the text?
A. How do electrical responses work?
B. How can we decode hearing signals?
C. What results in mechanical vibrations?
D. What can animals teach hearing researchers?
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。有些动物虽然丧失了听力, 但是有恢复的可能。人类也许能从它们身上借鉴一些经验。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. ”（这样做的方法是有所谓的毛细胞。）可知, 这种转化通过所谓的毛细胞来实现。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. ”（我们失去了它们，由于巨大的声音和某些药物，并且因为老化我们失去了它们。）可知, 本段引出问题“这些毛细胞退化时会发生什么”。因而划线词的含义为“退化”，选项A意思接近，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?””（我们失去了它们，由于巨大声音和某些药物，并且因为老化我们失去了它们。我们可以做些什么来修复它们，以便我们能够恢复听力?”）第四段中“ Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. ”（几乎所有的听力损失都是由于毛细胞的死亡或者毛细胞缺乏形成。）第五段“Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ””（哈德斯佩思说：“罗伯特提到的问题是针对哺乳动物的，包括我们自己。这种情况与其他四条腿的动物不同。但是，爬行动物，包括鸟类，这种再生一直在进行，就像鱼类一样。事实上，你可以带一只鸡去听音乐会，把它的耳朵炸掉。它们会很好地再生，即使有特定频率的毛细胞，它们也会重新连接起来，动物将能够再次正常地听到声音。”）最后一段中“this is certainly some- thing that won’t happen overnight in ourselves.”（这肯定是不会在一夜之间发生在我们自己身上的事情。）可知文章中讲到很多原因会导致我们的听力丧失, 有些动物却能恢复听力, 或许人类也可以恢复听力, 由此引出最后一段的“这是个非常大的挑战, 因为恢复听力肯定不会一夜之间就在我们人类身上发生”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读文章，结合文章中第三段最后一句“What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”（我们可以做些什么来修复它们，以便我们能够恢复听力?）及最后一段中“But I don’t think it’s a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode (解码) the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ””（但是我不认为这是一个没有希望的任务，我认为基本上许多人正在尝试做的是解码发送的信号，随着这些毛细胞的发展，并通过这样做来识别信号通路，可能会重新激活原来的发展和恢复毛细胞的手段。”）同时结合文章其它段落内容可知，文章中讲到很多原因会导致我们的听力丧失, 有些动物却能恢复听力, 或许人类也可以恢复听力, 因而本文的主要内容可以是, 人类也许能从动物身上借鉴一些恢复听力的经验。故选D。

Having a vegetable garden offers many health benefits. Here are reasons why a home vegetable garden beats even the farmers’ market when it comes to your health and well-being.
___16___.
Gardening is very physical. What makes gardening better than a gym workout is that it happens outdoors with fresh air and sunshine. Whether you are weeding in the down- ward dog position, or digging bags of soil, a garden delivers the full gym experience, from cardio right down to yoga.
Your garden provides you with a raw diet. Most homegrown crops taste better than store-bought but no vegetable takes this to the next level like sweet peas. ___17___, but most gardeners find that even a few vines (藤) are worth the space. A handful of freshly-shelled, raw sweet peas bursting into your mouth on a summer morning have few rivals in the food kingdom.
___18___.
The average consumer remains at the mercy of the produce buyer at the local market, but once the home gardener discovers the diversity of colors and tastes that can be homegrown, a nutrient-rich vegetable choice opens up. Heirloom (原种的) tomatoes range in color from deep purple and nearly black to golden yellow and pale white. Besides the color, there is another benefit. ___19___ .
Your garden allows you to give. ___20___, but nothing feels as great as when you share food. Imagine how it feels for others to receive fresh homegrown vegetables. A basket of heir- loom cherry tomatoes can disappear faster than a box of donuts deep fried in fat.
A. It’s nice to receive gifts
B. We know that it feels good to give
C. Your garden lets you eat the rainbow
D. The vegetable garden makes you a chef
E. Growing vegetables helps you take exercise

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国杂技的发展历程。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现代杂技主要依靠表演者柔软的身体来完成一系列高难度动作。本句涉及短语为：depend on sb./sth. to do sth.。故填to complete。
【37题详解】
考查语态。句意：它可以在许多表演艺术和许多体育运动中找到。本句主语it，指代Modern acrobatics。它和find之间构成了被动关系, 所以这里要用被动语态。空前是情态动词，所以空处填be found，故填be found。

考查副词。句意：唐代是中国古代最繁荣的时期，杂技演员的数量明显增加，表演技巧也得到了很大的提高。副词修饰动词，significantly是副词，意为“显著地”，修饰动词 increased。故填significantly。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：在危险的运动中有很大的稳定性，在行动中有很大的安静性。空处在句中作主语，根据空前的There is much可知，这里要填名词stability。故填stability。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：现代杂技旨在创造优美的舞台形象，和谐的音乐伴奏，良好的配套效果，道具和灯光。分析句子可知，这里要用形容词harmonious 修饰名词短语musical accompaniment。故填harmonious。
【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：过去50年来，中国杂技团先后走访世界上一百多个国家和地区，在国际杂技节和世界杂技锦标赛上获得数十个奖项。当“in the past＋days/months/years”在句中作状语时，句子的谓语常用现在完成时。句子主语 many Chinese acrobatic troupes为复数含义，所以助动词用have，故填have visited。

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。
“Bye, Mom! Don’t forget to make my pie!” shouted 12-year-old Jake after kissing his mother, Susan, goodbye.
He was anxiously waiting for the bus. Moments later, the bus pulled over, and Jake hopped in, assuming it was just going to be an ordinary ride to school. “Luckily, Mom gave me $6. Otherwise I’d have to walk all the way to school,” he thought.
The bus came to a stop, picking up Christel, a 56-year-old woman from the next stop. She was smelly and looked dirty. Some passengers frowned at her, but she was least bothered about them. Moments later, she trembled through the crowd toward an empty seat next to Jake.
“Ticket, please?!” the conductor said loudly, staring at her. Christel’s face slowly started to go red. “One second, I’m looking for my purse,” she replied. “I...uh...I don’t have money. I forgot to bring my purse,” Christel stammered (结结巴巴地说), embarrassed.
“Lady, this is not a charity ride that picks up beggars for free. I’m stopping the bus right now. Get out!” yelled the conductor as the crowd of passengers turned toward Christel all at once.
Jake witnessed everything and was disappointed at how the conductor treated the poor woman. Then he remembered he still had some change. “Here is your $3...Give her a ticket,” he said to the conductor, throwing the money into his hand.
“Thank you, sweetheart. I am forever grateful to you! What is your name, dear?” said Christel.
“I’m Jake. That’s okay. I just did what I should do,” replied Jake, taking Christel’s words of gratitude casually.
They talked about Jake’s school life. “I want to become a baseball player, but my school does not have such facilities. I don’t want to trouble my mom. She’s already working hard in the restaurant. My father passed away in an accident two years ago,” revealed Jake.
“Alright, Grandma! We’ve arrived at my school. I’ll leave now. Bye-bye!”
Christel was touched by Jake’s warm heart. She stared a second time at his school, watching him disappear inside the gate.

【答案】参考范文:
The next day Christel paid a surprising visit to the school in her expensive car. Jake was shocked to see her outside his classroom. “I came here to see you. Please follow me to your principal’s office,” said Christel, confusing Jake, who had no idea how his life would change. Christel greeted the principal and told him about her encounter with Jake, expressing gratitude for Jake’s help. Christel turned out to be a wealthy and successful woman. “You must be really proud of your student!” she told the principal.
Jake didn’t realize a bigger surprise was waiting for him outside the principal’s office. “Jake, honey, do you mind visiting your field?” asked Christel. Jake did as she told, hurrying to the school playground. Christel had hired top-class designers to change the ground into a big ballpark. Jake couldn’t believe his own eyes, staring at the latest equipment for the new ballpark. Christel helped to hire an experienced baseball coach for the school. Christel smiled happily, watching Jake and his friends running in the field.
