AA lot of little life.BAn amount of water.CSome Martian hills.DDark markings are sand.29When do the markings come out? AIn Martian spring.BIn Martian summer.CIn Martian autumn.DIn Martian winter.30Whats Meyers opinion about having life on Mars? ADoubtful. BTrustful.CIndifferent. DObjective.31What does the underlined word “cryptic” in Paragraph 4 mean? AUndiscovered. BStrange.CMagical. DIcy.答案DBBADSummer heat can be dangerous，and heat leads to tragedy far too often.According to Kids And Cars.org，an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US，when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.For Bishop Curry，a fifth grader from McKinney，Texas，one such incident hit close to home.A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car.After hearing about her death，Curry decided that something needed to be done.Young Curry，who turned 11 this year，has always had a knack for inventing things，and he drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called “Oasis”The device would attach to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car.If it reached a certain temperature in the car，and the device sensed a child in the car seat，it would begin to circulate cool air.Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology，which would alarm the childs parents and，if there was no response from them，the police.Currys father believes that the invention has potential.“The cool thing about Bishops thinking is that none of this technology is new，” he said.“We feel like the way hes thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota，where he works as an engineer.The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.In January，Currys father launched a campaign for the invention.They hope to raise money to finalize the patent，build models，and find a manufacturer.Their goal was $20,000，but so many people believed in Oasis potential that they have raised more than twice thatover $46,000.Currys father remembers the first time he saw his sons sketch.“I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution，” he said.“We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”32What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?AHis narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.BHis knowledge of many childrens death because of car heat.CThe death of his neighbors baby after being left in a hot car.DThe injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.33What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?AIt would inform the parents or even the police.BIt would pump out the hot air in the car.CIt would sound the alarm attached to the car.DIt would get the window open to save the child.34What does Currys father think is cool about Currys invention?AIt used some of the most advanced technology.BIt simply combined technologies that existed.CIt could accelerate production of new technology.DIt is the most advanced among similar products.35Why did Currys father start a campaign to raise money?ATo conduct experiments to test the invention.BTo get other children devoted to inventions.CTo support a charity of medical aid for children.DTo get the patent and bring it to production.答案CABD第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)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。Teenage Brains in the Digital WorldWhen it comes to technology，adults wont be able to keep up with their children.It took the radio 38 years to reach 50 million people，but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number，and 13 years for the television.In contrast，it took Facebook 3.6 years. 36 .Over the 15 years，digital communication has brought in more changes than the printing press did in 1570.And those most likely to use them in this world are teenagers，whose brains appear to have an extraordinary capacity to adapt to the world around them. 37 ，enabling teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace of digital technology and giving them an advantage when it comes to multitasking(多重任务处理)In the US，on average teenagers spend 8.5 hours a day using computers，mobiles，and other devices to learn，interact and play. 38 ，such as talking on the phone while youre watching TV.As they stare at these screens，theyre taking in and sorting through an incredible amount of information. 39 .YouTube indicates that teenagers all over the world are watching the same clips and laughing at the same joke，indicating that they are more global-minded than teenagers in the past.They may be keen on texting their friends and posting updates on social media sites. 40 .By the age of 30，our brains will become more set in their ways，making it harder for us to adapt and cope with the new technology.AHowever，there is a cut-offBTwitter only needed 88 daysCThere are concerns about how to make friends onlineDThere is an advantage of the growing digital trendEHaving a more flexible brain means certain parts of it havent developed yetFThis means that the teenage brains can adapt to new technologyGThis increases to 11.5 hours if you include all the multitasking that goes

thousand materials which we cannot 43 to make a good light bulb.”If you learn from your mistakes，then you are 44 .If you learn from someone elses mistakes，then you are a genius.Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines 45 daily and failure is nothing more than a few small 46 repeated daily.How 47 the above lines are！Success takes time.Well make mistakes if we do things in too much of a
