After all，just a few short years ago，he was living on the streets couchsurfing at friends' houses and weeding gardens to make ends meet.Now，one of the world's leading political academics was preparing to welcome him to Queen's University over 4,000 miles away.Emanuel never knew who his father was and his mom was mentally ill when she gave birth to him，so the hospital took him off her and he was unofficially adopted for the first few years of his life.What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.Through his high school and community college years，he moved from house to house，living with friends at times and living on the streets at others.Determined to change all that despite his rocky start in life. Emanuel involved himself in schooldoing everything he could to earn extra tuition (学费) money in his spare time. But getting accepted into university was scarcely possible because a person like him couldn't get a regular student loan.Fortunately，the government backed him，having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education. He graduated from the University of the West Indies with a 1st Class Honors degree and went on to do his Masters.Emanuel knows that his story could have been very different.“I discovered Professor Richard English online and sent him an email honestly，not thinking he would reply and to my surprise，he did. I applied for the highly competitive Commonwealth Shared Scholarship Scheme in order to fund my research at Queen's. When I was told I was successful，my whole world changed.”【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了伊曼纽尔在童年时期就失去了父母，在收养系统和家庭成员之间度过了一个不确定的童年。后来他决心改变这一切，他全身心地投入到学校的学习中，在业余时间，他尽一切可能来赚取额外的学费。最后，他在政府的资助下完成了大学学业并继续攻读更高学位。1What does the underlined word “pinch­me” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AExpected.BUnbelievable.CAwkward. DAnxious.解析：B词义猜测题。根据下文“Emanuel never thought would be possible”可知，当皇后区历史、人类学、哲学和政治学院副校长鼓励他申请贝尔法斯特的政治博士学位时，他从未觉得这个想法是可能实现的，由此可知pinch­me意为“难以置信的”。故选B项。2What happened to Emanuel in his childhood?AHis father was mentally ill.BHe was abandoned by his mother.CHe was once adopted by his relatives.DHe lived with his friends now and then.解析：C细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What followed was a childhood with uncertainty as Emanuel was passed between the adoption system and family members.”可知，他在童年时期曾经被亲戚们收养。故选C项。3How did Emanuel afford his university education?ABy receiving a regular student loan.BBy earning the tuition all by himself.CBy borrowing the money from friends.DBy getting support from the government.解析：D细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Fortunately，the government backed him，having created a policy allowing disadvantaged persons to access funding for higher education.”可知，伊曼纽尔通过获得政府的资助来支付他的大学学费。故选D项。4What can we learn from Emanuel's story?AWell begun is half done.BIt's never too old to learn.CYou are the master of your life.DLost time is never found again.解析：C推理判断题。文章主要讲述了伊曼纽尔在童年时期就失去了父母，在收养系统和家庭成员之间度过了一个不确定的童年。后来他决心改变这一切，他全身心地投入到学校的学习中，在业余时间，他尽一切可能来赚取额外的学费。最后，在政府的资助下完成了大学学业并继续攻读硕士和博士学位。因此文章的主要目的是告诉我们：你就是你生命的主人。故选C项。BBricks are one of the oldest known building materials，dating back thousands of years. But researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have found a new use for bricks：as energy storage units. A team of engineers and chemists have found a way to transform an ordinary house brick into a “battery”allowing it to conduct and store electricity. The bricks are powerful enough to light up an LED bulb，and cost only about 3 dollars to make.“I love the idea of adding value to things that are inexpensive，things that are affordable，things that we kind of take for granted，” says Julio D'Arcy，who is an assistant professor of chemistry at Washington University and one of the researchers on this project.The brick­battery relies on the reddish pigment known as iron oxide，or rust，which gives red bricks their color. The scientists pumped the bricks with several gases that react with iron oxide to produce a network of plastic fibers. These small fibers coat the empty spaces inside the bricksand conduct electricity.What the researchers are trying to do is to make specialized plastics that are only used on the nanoscale where they use very little of the plastic and they can actually fix that plastic firmly inside construction materials.In the future，D'Arcy says，a brick wall could potentiality serve a dual purpose：providing structural support and storing electricity generated from renewable energy sources，such as solar panels.The technology is still at least a few years away from being ready for the commercial market. And right now，the energy storage capacity of the bricks is still pretty lowabout 1 percent of a lithium ion battery. But the team is now testing ways to improve brick performance，hoping to make a breakthrough and practical application to better the seemingly ordinary consumption materials as soon as possible.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了研究人员的一项研究成果：砖头可以被用作能量储存单元。本文是对这种“砖电池”的工作原理、未来的用途以及如今仍然存在的问题的说明。5What new function has been found in house bricks?AThey can serve as a power plant.BThey can take the place of plastics.CThey can save a lot of energy.DThey can reserve electricity.解析：D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A team of engineers and chemists have found a way to transform an ordinary house brick into a batteryallowing it to conduct and store electricity.”可知，被研究人员所发现的砖头的新功能是它可以储备电力。故选D项。6What can we infer about the plastic fibers?AThey are pumped into bricks.BThey must be tiny in size.CThey cover the surface of bricks.DThey react with iron oxide.解析：B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The scientists pumped the bricks with several gases that react with iron oxide to produce a network of plastic fibers. These small fibers coat the empty spaces inside the bricksand conduct electricity.”可推知，这种塑料纤维的尺寸很小。故选B项。7Brick batteries are still in the experimental stage because .Atheir capacity is still lowBtheir cost is very highCthey make no profitsDthey are not safe enough解析：A细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And right now，the energy storage capacity of the bricks is still pretty lowabout 1 percent of a lithium ion battery.”可知，“砖电池”还处于实验阶段，因为它们的容量还很小。故选A项。8Which can be a suitable title for the text?AConstruction Turns SmartBHigh Tech Develops FastCOld Bricks Play New TricksDBuildings Become Greener解析：C标题归纳题。文章介绍了“砖电池”的工作原理、未来的用途以及如今仍存在的问题。由此可知，C项(旧砖玩出新花样)最符合文章大意。故选C项。.完形填空Flo Meiler was a Senior Olympics tennis player.
