When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply. This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages. By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late. Realizing that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages.The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka. He was still a high school student, and he wanted to create something that no one else had done. But Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers. Only one professor, Dr.Anirban Maitra, responded positively. Dr.Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory.The next big reward for Andrakas perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. This great award is given to young innovators who have developed a world-changing idea. Developing the test is likely to take many years, but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve peoples lives and maybe save them.Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator. After all, there were 1,499 other contestants for the Intel award, and all of them had ground-breaking ideas. For Andraka, having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage. But the key for Andraka is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better.4. Why did Andraka decide to develop a test for pancreatic cancer?A. His friends encouragement.B. An upsetting experience.C. His extensive reading.D. An important test.5. What difficulty did Andraka meet at the beginning of his research?A. Lack of positive replies from experts.B. Heavy pressure from his schoolwork.C. Little access to research equipment.D. Great need of money to develop a test.6. Which of the following leads to Andrakas award winning?A. The competition with other contestants.B. His determination to improve the world.C.

B【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Jack Andraka开发了一种胰腺癌的检测方法并在英特尔国际科学与工程博览会上赢得大奖。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“When Andraka was 14, a family friend died of the disease, and this affected him deeply. This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages. By the time standard tests determine you have the disease, it is often too late. Realizing that this was the case, Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages.(Andraka 14岁时，家里的一个朋友死于这种疾病，这对他影响深远。这种癌症特别严重，因为在早期没有任何测试可以发现它。当标准测试确定你患有这种疾病时，通常已经太晚了。认识到这一点，Andraka决定尝试开发一种测试，可以在最早期的阶段发现问题)”可知，因为一次令人苦恼的的经历，Andraka决定开发一种胰腺癌的检测方法。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Andraka read endlessly about the disease, wrote a proposal for his idea, and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers. Only one professor, Dr.Anirban Maitra, responded positively. Dr.Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea, giving him guidance and access to a laboratory. (但Andraka无休止地阅读有关这种疾病的资料，为他的想法写了一份提案，并把它发给了200名癌症研究人员。只有一位教授Anirban Maitra博士做出了积极回应。Maitra博士同意与Andraka一起研究他的想法，为他提供指导，并允许他进入实验室)”可知，Andraka在他的研究开始时遇到了缺乏专家的积极回复困难。故选A项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The next big reward for Andrakas perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. (Andraka坚持不懈的下一个大奖励是在英特尔国际科学与工程博览会上赢得大奖)”可知，Andraka对发现的热情导致了他获奖。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But the key for Andraka is that reading, research, and discovery are just plain fun, and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better. (但对Andraka来说，关键在于阅读、研究和发现只是单纯的乐趣，而在这个过程中改善他周围的世界的机会使它变得更加美好)”及从Andraka的故事中可知，努力工作是成功之道。故选B项。(C)We all love animals, but animals dont feel the same way about us. When we enter their wild world, we are “unnatural” invaders into their homes.There was a video many of you may have seen on the Internet recently of a bear and its cub (幼崽) climbing up a steep, snow-covered hill in Russia. The mama bear makes it to the top without too much trouble, but the baby bear keeps sliding back down. It takes three attempts to reach the top and, no doubt, many cheered at the cubs never-give-up spirit. But nature scientists who saw the video didnt cheer.Instead, the scientists were upset that the two bears had been frightened into making a dangerous, unnecessary climb by the drone (无人机) that was filming them. Sophie Gilbert of the University of Idaho said, “It showed a complete lack of understanding from the drone operator of the effects his actions were having on the bears.” Other scientists have found that when a drone is hovering near, a bears heart rate can increase from 41 beats per minute to 162 beats per minute a high enough rate to cause a heart attack.Human disturbance has actually been having a far-reaching influence on wildlife. Researchers at the University of Berkeley recently found that many mammals are turning into “night owls” again to avoid contact with humans. Such a shift might not only affect those species themselves, but also have numerous chain effects.We human beings find ourselves in a strange position in nature. We are part of it but also separate from it, now more than ever, since most of us live in cities. So, when we go off hiking into wild areas to “re-connect” with nature, we should go softly and considerately. Its OK to get close to our animal friends, just not too close we wouldnt want to scare them, would we?8. What does the video feature?A. The baby bears climbing.B. The mama bears care.C. The dangerous environment.D. The experiment by scientists.9. Why didnt nature scientists cheer?A. They knew the bears family well.B. They were against other scientists.C. They knew the cause of the bears climbing.D. They lacked understanding of the drone operator.10. What may be the effect of human disturbance on wildlife?A. Food shortage.B. Changing habitats.C. Ecological imbalance.D. Less contact with humans.11. What does the author seem to agree with?A. Lose connection with nature.B. Tighten the bond with wild animals.C. Respect the human-animal distance.D. Shoot more videos on animals for study.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过描述一个无人机拍下的视频内容，一只小熊攀爬雪山，滑落后继续爬的事情，经过科学家们的解读后可知小熊爬山并非像人们所称赞的具有永不放弃的精神，而是因为受到了无人机的惊吓。人类大多与大自然分离，作者提出：当我们与大自然接触时，要与动物保持适当的距离。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“There was a video many of you may have seen on the Internet recently of a bear and its cub (幼崽) climbing up a steep, snow-covered hill in Russia. (你们很多人可能最近在网上看过一段视频，一只熊带着它的幼崽爬上了俄罗斯一座陡峭的白雪覆盖的小山)”可知，视频主要拍摄的是幼熊爬山。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Instead, the scientists were upset that the two bears had been frightened into making a dangerous, unnecessary climb by the drone (无人机) that was filming them. Sophie Gilbert of the University of Idaho said, “It showed a complete lack of understanding from the drone operator of the effects his actions were having on the bears.” Other scientists have found that when a drone is hovering near, a bears heart rate can increase from 41 beats per minute to 162 beats per minute a high enough rate to cause a heart attack.(相反，科学家们感到不安的是，这两只熊被拍摄它们的无人机吓得做出了危险的、不必要的攀登。爱达荷大学的索菲·吉尔伯特说：“这表明无人机操作员完全不了解他的行为对熊的影响。”其他科学家发现，当无人机在附近盘旋时，一只熊的心率可以从每分钟41次增加到每分钟162次，这一速度足以引起心脏病发作)”可知，科学家们发现无人机靠近熊引起了熊的恐慌，心率上升有可能对熊造成严重的危害。由此可知科学家们没有对此欢呼是因为他们知道熊登山的真正原因是因为害怕。故选C项。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Human disturbance has actually been having a far-reaching influence on wildlife. Researchers at the University of Berkeley recently found that many mammals are turning into “night owls” again to avoid contact with humans. Such a shift might not only affect those species themselves, but also have numerous chain effects.(人类的干扰实际上对野生动物产生了深远的影响。伯克利大学的研究人员最近发现，许多哺乳动物为了避免与人类接触，正再次变成“夜猫子”。这种转变可能不仅会影响这些物种本身，还会产生许多连锁效应)”可知，许多哺乳动物为了避免与人类接触而转变作息，但这会影响物种本身且带来连锁反应。由此可知，人类干扰对野生动物造成的影响是生态不平衡。故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, when we go off hiking into wild areas to “re-connect” with nature, we should go softly and considerately. Its OK to get close to our animal friends, just not too close we wouldnt want to scare them, would we?(所以，当我们去野外徒步旅行，与大自然“重新连接”时，我们应该温柔而体贴。和我们的动物朋友亲近是可以的，只是不要太亲密我们不想吓到它们，对吧？)”可知作者提倡人类与动物接触应保持适当的距离。由此可推知，作者会同意C项内容表述的观点“尊重人与动物之间的距离”。故选C项。(D)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Professional courses, such as Masters in International Business or MIB, have been taken by many students in the last two decades. They are choosing new-age non-conventional courses that guarantee a better future. MIB is a specialized course that teaches the international business. There are valid reasons for so much popularity of MIB course.The course content and teaching methods of MIB are quite different from a normal MBA or Master of Business Administration. It has been designed with the sole objective of developing professionals with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the international trade. The cour
