　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　V AtJus40 years old hip hop star Kassem Dean, more popularly known as Swizz Beatz, has built up a track rerecord ,lifestyle and nearly $ 70 million net worth that would inspire most of us to retire early. So why does Dean continue to both work extremely hard and try projects that come with the risk of rejection? During our interview for Uncommon Drive, a video series for USA & Main that seeks to find out the motivations and magic of world-class business people,Dean provided u memorable answer:"You only have so much time -once it"s gone you don"t get it back. Don"t focus on money: focus on building something greater than yourself. If you"re not making history, you"re wasting your time on Earth." When you look at his answer, you will learn two important lessons. The first is in "making history".Doing so requires awareness. You must fully understand what has and has not been achieved in the market you"ve entered. Dean makes every effort with the goal of creating something important that has not been done before and will be remembered for its impact beyond his years. The second part of his statement is just as powerful. In this interview, he never once said he is “trying" to make history. Instead, he has told himself that no matter what difficulty there is, it"s just going to happen. “I"m going to make history,"Dean said. After talking to Dean for nearly 45 minutes, it was clear to me that he has removed all ego(自我）from a statement that might otherwise be misread as false pride. I believe it"s a brilliant wisdom-rather than focus on all the reasons why a project can"t be realized, he has convinced himself of the possibility. 21.What is the function of the first paragraph?

　 4 A. To list an example. B.To offer an explanation. C.To make a summary. D.To lead to the main topic. 22.According to the text,what pushes Dean to continue to work hard? A. His desire to be famous. B. His wish to be wealthy. C. His life goal to leave his mark on history. D. His adventurous spirit and imagination. 23.What"s the author"s attitude towards Dean after the interview? A.Objective. B.Favorable. C.Doubtful. D.Reserved. B Enter Nick Spigler"s room and you"ll find the delicate nest of a tree swallow and rows of books about birds. Clearly, this 16-year-old boy has his head in the clouds and his feet off the ground. Several times a week,Ellie Andreen, 15, visits a park near her home to check on her little family. The boxes she placed there last winter have produced several babies of bluebirds, which Ellie fusses over like a mother hen. These young bird-watchers are not the only youngsters who enjoy birding in the United State"s county of Harford,Maryland.Local schools there offer programs in ornithology (鸟类学）， even if some kids can"t yet spell the word. Both Nick and Ellie took up birding early on.They call themselves the Early Birds,Feathered Friends or Bird Buddies. Once a month, they join groups of 20 to 30 students to walk through nearby fields before class at 7:30 am,hoping to spot a woodpecker or oriole(黄鹏）with binoculars. ＂Being part of the bird club since second grade made it seem more common than just some strange hobby," Nick said. "I had to get up at 6:30 am for the walks. That was for the birds,so I didn"t mind." Since then,he has attended bird camps,studied bird habits and migratory patterns,and personally seen 190 of the more than 400 species in Maryland. Raising youth awareness is a must,longtime birders say. Mary Murray, 65, a leading member of the Harford Bird Club,said,"These children are going to inherit Earth, and we need to teach

　 5 them early how to take care of it. Birds are an indicator(指示物）species,like canaries(金丝雀）in a coal mine,and if kids pay attention to what birds are doing, they will understand the health of their environment." 24.What does the underlined phrase "fusses over" in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A.Competes with. B.Fights with. C.Plays with. D. Gives attention to. 25.What do we know about bird-watching in Harford County? A. It is considered a strange but cool hobby. B. It interests more local young people than adults. C. Ornithology classes have helped make it popular. D. Students must pass a bird-watching class at school. 26.What does Mary Murray think birding means for children? A. It will raise their awareness of teamwork. B. It will help them identify more bird species. C.It will keep them in contact with nature. D. It will improve their understanding of their environment. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A.Bird protection is in action B.Bird study in Maryland C.Hobbies of Early Birds D.Ellie Andreen" s bluebird boxes C Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilomcter area. Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge,it can cause very deadly results. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.For this reason,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning.

　 6 The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning. The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data, related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity（湿度）and wind speed,was placed into a unique machine learning algorithm (算法），which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens. The researchers test-ran the system several times. They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time. "It can now be used anywhere," the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement. The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection program.The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferring lightning charges from clouds to the ground, They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather. 28.Why was the system developed? A.To keep track of lightning deaths. B.To meet people"s curiosity

　about lightning. C.To protect people from lightning strikes. D.To take advantage of the energy of lightning. 29.What is special about the system? A.It collects data samples from around the world. B.It involves the use of a machine learning algorithm. C.It was test-run several times before being put into use. D.Its success owes greatly to a European effort. 30.What will the researchers do in the next stage? A.Prevent the formation of lightning. B.Get lightning striking under control. C.Inspire the study of a laser technology. D.Raise the accuracy of lightning prediction. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）

　Many people would like to return to school to increase learning potential, realize dreams, or finish something they started long ago.However,some have families and jobs,and getting to day courses-or even night school-can be an impossible thing.31 Thanks to the Internet and other forms of quick communication, e-learning for students has become the busy person"s preferred method for achieving educational goals. 32 Below are some examples. If you already have a year or two of your degree behind you,c-learning can help you complete your requirements.Education-minded employers often give employees incentives(激励）

　to complete their degrees online. If you are a stay-at-home mom or dad and looking to return to the school, then you are a best candidate for e-learning.33 As long as you can meet deadlines and perform high-quality work,you can achieve the highest educational goals. 34 In this case,c-learning for students who are already in an advanced degree or specialized study satisfies the requirement.You can earn the master"s or doctoral degree, as well as high-level certifications in your online program. If you live in a place that does not offer the kind of education you want, you may want to look at e-learning in an overseas college or university. For instance,England has some of the world"s most well-known institutes, but many cannot go there for an entire education. 35 A.What a pity that they are kept away! B.Now they have a new choice-e-learning. C.But now its high-quality education can be enjoyed worldwide. D.The Internet provides you a new form of learning to realize dreams. E. In reality, almost anyone can benefit from the flexibility of e-learning. F.Many e-courses allow you to use the learning system whenever you can. G.Many people have motivations for further education past the undergraduate degree. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）

　阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事、 When I was 9 years old. I used to cut grass for Mrs, Long. The elderly lady paid me very little, for she didn"t have much money. But she did promise me,"When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you."I spent much time wondering what it would be. The boys I played with had baseball gloves and bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that Mrs. Long intended to choose from among them. ＂It would hardly be a baseball glove,"I reasoned with myself."A woman like Mrs.Long wouldn"t know much about baseball." Since she was old and weak,I also ruled out the bicycle,for how could she handle such a large item? On my last Saturday at work, Mrs. Long said,"At Christmas you come to the door and collect the present."These words further confirmed my guess. Since she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself,unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates. I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates and the excitement they brought me.As the cold days of December arrived and ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice."Get away from that ice!"a man shouted. “It"s not strong enough yet." As Christmas approached, it was with difficulty that I stopped myself from reporting to Mrs.Long and demanding my present. On the 21st of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had ice skates were able to use them. My longing to possess mine became overpowering. So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at Mrs. Long"s door. “I"ve been waiting for you,"she said with a smile. 注意：

I had promised to give you a present, so it is time for you to get your present."I was so excited that I wanted to open it right now,but Mrs Long stopped me and said,"you can"t open it until Christmas is morning,can you make it?""Of course,Mrs Long."I replied. Paragraph 2: On Christmas morning,I could not wait to open the package To my excitement, it was a brand-new pair of ice skates which I was eager for.I couldn"t contain my excitement and went to the frozen pond.I skated on the ice with the other people.
