Inventor Mary Anderson received a patent for her carwindow cleaning device in 1903. However, it was not immediately accepted. Many people thought it would draw drivers' attention away, but by 1916 windshield wipers had been standard on most vehicles.‎ Barbara Askins Inventor Barbara Askins returned to school after having two children and received both bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry. After completing her education, Askins went to work for NASA, where she was given the task of inventing a way to improve astronomical and geological photos taken from space, which were often unclear and lacked definition. The solution she developed would have a greater influence than anyone could have imagined.‎ Patricia Billings Patricia Billings, a sculptor, initially sought to create a concrete additive to prevent her sculptures from breaking in the 1970s. After years of experimenting, she finally achieved her goal of making an indestructible material. Soon after, she discovered the material was also amazingly resistant to heat—which opened the door to a larger number of applications. Because the invention is nonpoisonous as well as indestructible and fireproof, it is the world's first workable replacement for asbestos(石棉)．‎ Giuliana Tesoro Through her work and research, she developed processes to prevent static(静电) accumulation in manmade fibers, pioneered improved permanent press characters for textiles(纺织品) and discovered ways to make new producing projects run at peak operation and efficiency. Tesoro held her more than one hundred and twentyfive patents in areas related to organic compounds(有机化合物) and textile processing.‎ ‎1.Why was Mary Anderson's invention rejected at first?‎ A. Because of there being little rain or snow in the US.‎ B. Because of its expensiveness for most people.‎ C. Because of its uselessness on most vehicles.‎ D. Because of its probable disturbance to drivers.‎ ‎2. Who made a great contribution to fire resistant material?‎ A. Patricia Billings. B. Barbara Askins. C. Mary Anderson. D. Giuliana Tesoro.‎ ‎3.From the text, we can infer that Giuliana Tesoro was________．‎ A. optimistic B. productive C. generous D. traditional B When I was younger, I was crazy about stories of magic. I enjoyed books where wizards(巫师)and warriors(勇士)battled the powers of darkness in strange worlds. I was excited when they succeeded bringing peace and happiness to their lands. I guess like most of the readers of these stories I secretly wished for magical powers for myself. I wanted to be able to magically make my pain disappear, to make my problems go away, and to have power over this world that so often has power over us.‎ As I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic due to the harsh reality of life. I struggled through a long period of poverty. I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and sorrow when both of my sons were diagnosed with Autism (自闭症).I still sometimes daydreamed of magic but in time even, that faded away.‎ Then one day I am not sure when I began to discover a different kind of magic. This magic grew stronger in my heart,soul,and mind day by day and year by year. This magic was called LOVE. It connected me to my own highest self and to all of the other souls in this world. It didn’t remove my poverty but it made every day of my life feel richer. It didn’t make my back pain go away but it helped me deal with it so much better. It didn’t cure my sons’ Autism, but it helped me see them as the beautiful, loving, and joyful souls that they truly are. It didn’t make me a wizard or a warrior but it helped me to dispel (驱散）the darkness of this world with my own light.‎ There is such a thing as magic in this world. Thereis such a thing as magic in each one of us. This magic is called LOVE. May you choose it, share it,and live in it every single day of your life. May you use it to help others, to heal this world,and to build a bridge to Heaven.‎ ‎4. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]‎ A. Wizards and warriors. B. Magical powers.C.Stories. D. Readers.‎ ‎5. Why didn’t the author believe in magic when he grew older?‎ A. Because he always felt sad.‎ B.Because magic faded away from him.‎ C. Because his problems have gone away.‎ D.Because he experienced the hardship of life. ‎ ‎6. What is considered magic in the author’s opinion?[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ A.The highest self.

To promote a kind of magic — love.‎ C I turned 16 on Friday, but the Driver’s License Office in my small hometown was only open on Tuesday, so I had to wait through that extremely long weekend and an endless Monday before going in for my examination.‎ I came to the Driver’s License Office half an hour earlier that Tuesday morning, pacing back ‎ and forth on the worn porch waiting for the office to open at eight. I reviewed the driver’s manual for the hundredth time. I was ready. I knew the manual backward and forward; I had made an “A” in my driver’s training course, and I was a genius behind the wheel.‎ Finally, the door opened and a tired-looking man in a brown uniform let me in.‎ ‎“Let me guess. You want to take the driver’s test.” his voice was not enthusiastic.‎ ‎“Yes!” I answered in excitement.‎ ‎“Ok, fill this out, and if you pass we’ll go for a drive.”‎ I grabbed the test and rushed to the desk where I filled it out in record time. A quick check showed that my paper was perfect.‎ ‎“Let’s get in the car.” He gave me a set of keys, and I slid behind the wheel. Everything was going smoothly as we pulled out of the empty parking lot. I signaled a right hand turn, and we were on a deserted street. This was going to be easy.‎ ‎“Turn left and go up Young Blood Hill,” he ordered. My hometown is in the mountains, and Young Blood Hill was almost vertical (垂直的). As I eased up the steep hill and came to a stop at the top, I heard the car’s engine die. My heart sank. I would have to start it again without rolling back down the hill. I swallowed hard and turned the key; as I moved my foot from the brake, the car began to roll. I suppose I could have rolled all the way back to the bottom except for one thing. There was something behind me which stopped my roll with a rough shake and crash of glass—a police car. ‎ The policeman wrote me a ticket as I looked over the damage, and the man from the Driver’s License Office slid behind the wheel. I waited until we had parked before I asked how long a person had to wait before taking the test again.‎ ‎8. What does “a genius behind the wheel” mean?‎ A. Someone who knows much about wheels.‎ B. Someone who is intelligent in a car.‎ C. Someone who is very good at driving. ‎ D. Someone who can pass the driving test.‎ ‎9. How did the author feel before Young Blood Hill?‎ ‎ A. Worried. B. Confident. C. Bored. D. Moved. ‎ ‎10.Why didn’t the car roll back to the bottom?‎ A. It hit a police car. B. The engine died.‎ C. The writer braked it hard. D. An officer stood behind me. ‎ ‎11.What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. The man from the Driver’s License Office was fined.‎ B. The policeman drove the car away after the accident.‎ C. The writer failed the driving test unfortunately.‎ D. The writer couldn’t take the driving test again.‎ D In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.‎ I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth depended on how well ‎ they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. The development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.‎ However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these youngsters, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually accepted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-worth relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition. ‎ ‎12.What does this passage mainly talk about?‎ A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.‎ B. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. ‎ C. Opinions about competition are different among people.‎ D. Failures are necessary experience in competition.‎ ‎13.Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?‎ A. It builds up a sense of pride.‎ B. It pushes society forward.‎ C. It improves personal abilities.‎ D. It develops people’s relationship. ‎ ‎14. What is the belief held by the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?‎ A. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others. ‎ B. One's success in competition needs great efforts. ‎ C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills. ‎ D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.‎ ‎15.Which point of view may the author agree to?‎ A. Self-worth relies on winning.‎ B. Competition leads to unfriendly relationship.‎ C. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.‎ D. Winning should be a life-and-death matter. ‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：选E涂AB，选F涂CD，选G涂AC)‎ How Kids Express Gratitude Taking time as a family to practice gratitude doesn't have to be difficult or time-consumingand the benefits your children will get are profound.Today we'll be discussing ideas to helpyour children express their gratitude.‎ Make a gratitude tree.‎ Start with a large piece of craft paper and draw a tree trunk.16Each day ask yourkids to think ‎ of something they're thankful for,write it on a leaf and tape it to the tree trunk.‎ Go grocery shopping for a family in need.‎ Many stores now offer premade bags to donate right at the checkout line.While this isconvenient,the larger the role they play in the act of giving,the bigger the effect it will haveon your kids.17‎ Express your thankfulness for the ones you love.‎ ‎18Print the photos in a 5"×7"size and ask the kids to write a short note on the backexplaining why they're grateful to that person.Family members,especially those who don'tlive nearby,will cherish the present.‎ Volunteer together.‎ Pick a regular time,maybe one Saturday a month,and volunteer together as a family.19One child may want to spend a day helping to clean up their favorite park while anothermight want to read books to nursing home residents.‎ ‎20‎ A regular gratitude practice is a wonderful habit to instill（逐渐灌输）into your children.Infact,studies have shown that people who feel gratitude on a daily basis are happier in general.‎ A.Keep gratitude journals.‎ B.Start a gratitude practice.‎ C.Then ask the kids to paint or color it in brown.‎ D.It will make the experience much more powerful.‎ E.Let kids take pictures of themselves with their loved ones.‎ F.If you can find a charity where you deliver the groceries yourself,that's even better.‎ G.Let each family member take turns to pick an activity that means something to them.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Having relocated often, I’ve developed a love forde-cluttering（整理）.
