More than l,200scientists, NASA guests and important persons, including 200 reporters, watched theflyby live at New Horizons mission control center. That close encounter has been a long time ing. The$723 million New Horizonsmission launched in January xx but began taking shape in 1989. New Horizons isacapstone mission, Glen Fountain, mission project manager told Space, . It is thefirst pletion of the observations of our solar system. It-s giving us a new idea abouthow we human beings fit into the universe. New Horizons faced a crazy number of challenges, Stern, a driving force behindNew Horizons said, So many people stuck with this for so long. They got knockeddown; they stood up. They got knocked down again; they stood up again.” In a coincidence, todays close approach falls on the 50th anniversary of the first flybyof Mars, another planet, which was pleted by NASA-s Mariner 4 spaceship.

A Close Approach to Pluto B Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. Thepower of sunshine brings us a lot of fort, optimism, self-confidence and of course asmile. Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round！ Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a stateo happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from ourhearts, minds and souls. Actually, that-s your choice, and if you think that way then yourown life will reflect that attitude of yours! In order to make sunshine or rather, light part of our being, it is so importantthat you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept whatyou really feel youd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and reallybee aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself andother people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip (说闲话) about other people,which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy (妒忌) and insecurity aboutyourself. You are also supposed to take a close look at your intention. How many of you (Iosomething for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It mightnot even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized forwhat you have done is enough to create conditions on your intention. Think about it! Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside usjust by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intentiontowards helping someone else. If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand andmeasure your need to feel sunshine in the other, you will see how both these elementsreally contradict each other. Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so. youwill allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into yourlife and the lives of the people around you！24. You can have sunshine shining from your inside . A. by measuring what you need B. by helping someone else C. by watching what you think, say and do D. by changing your intention25. According to the writer, you don t feel secure about yourself when you . A. gossip about other people B. take a close look at your intention C. expect to be recognized for what youve done D. bee aware of your negative thoughts26. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Expecting something in return for our help isnt the right intention. B. Breaking our patterns is the most important to get true sunshine. C. If we don-t intend to help others, we create monsters inside us. D. Negative attitudes have little to do with happiness.27. The passage is written mainly to _ . A. stress the importance of the positive life style B. analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind C. offer advice on having sunshine from our inside D. warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes C Face-book chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg and Anna Maria Chavez, chief ofAmerican Girl Scouts, are leading a campaign to discourage the use of the word bossy.Does the term destroy the confidence of young girls? The campaign claims that terms like bossy are improperly applied to females,preventing schoolgirls from seeing themselves as future leaders. From its firstapplication, the word has been definitely connected more with women than with men Itfirst appeared in 1882, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, mentioning a ladymanager who was extremely bossy . As late as xx, the word appeared in reference tofemales four times more often than males, claim the Ban Bossy campaigners. To me, thereference is always in association with women, says Helen Trim, director of FreshMinds. I have three brothers and my family still call me bossy today. Her father isthe only other family member who could be considered in that way, says Trim, butnobody would ever call him so. Some educators remend that the word should be reclaimed, rather than banned.But the thing with bossy is that there-s an infantile(幼稚的) element to it, says SaraMills, professor at Sheffield University. You think of bossy as being like a little kidwhos claiming more than he has the right to claim. Its not just bossy under fire. Pushy is another target. The implication is thatwomen shouldnt present themselves as powerful and confident, Mills suggests, whichsome women are willing to listen to and accept. Trim points out that many modern femalebusiness role models are able to be bosses without being labeled bossy. And she rarely,if ever, hears the word used within her pany. But she says that the damage may bedone much earlier in a womans life. It does e about from those early teenage years. she says. I think its impossible to ban a word, but if people are replacing it with wordslike confidence or 6assertiveness, we would all be in a much better place. 28. More evidence is provided to show bossy is more applied to females by _ . A. the Oxford English Dictionary B. the Ban Bossy campaigners C. Helen Trim at Fresh Minds D. some experts in education29. Trims family still consider her bossy because . A. she is expected to lead in her family B. she is the boss of her pany C. she is a powerful and confident female D. her father considers her that way30. The underlined part under fire most probably means . A. definitely replaced B. strongly criticized C. improperly applied D. eagerly expected31. How does the author sound when referring to the campaign against bossy? A. Objective. B. Angry. C. Doubtful D. Optimistic. D Professional footballers have worryingly poor teeth that could be affecting theirperformance on the football ground, say dentists. Their study on players at eight clubs inEngland and Wales, in the British Journal o f Sports Medicine, showed nearly 4 0ut of 10had cavities （蛀牙) and that athletes often had worse teeth than the general population.Regularly taking sugary foods is one possible explanation. The dentists, from the International Centre for Evidence-Based Oral Health atUniversity College London, examined 187 players sets of teeth. They found 53% haddental erosion (腐蚀), 45% were bothered by the state of their teeth and 7% said itaffected their ability to train or play. Around 40% had cavities, pared with 30% ofpeople of a similar age in the general population. Prof Ian Needleman, one of the researchers, said: These are individuals whootherwise invest so much in themselves so its a surprising finding. There are two main groups - some have a catastrophic effect, they have veryserious disease that stops them in their tracks and they cannot play or train. There Il be others experiencing pain affecting sleep or sensitivity every time they takea drink. At this level of athlete, even small differences can be quite telling. Nutrition is one of the primary suspects with having too many sugary or acidic foodsduring training potentially accounting for cavities and erosion. A lot of air in the mouthduring exercise can also dry it out so there is less protection. While these findings are worrying, clubs are attaching greater importance to dentalhealth and educating their players. According to Stijin Vandenbroucke, head of medicineand sports science at West Ham United, oral health is an area where many athletes havegreater problems than the general population and there are clear benefits of oral diseaseprevention for athletes and clubs.32. What does the passage tell us about professional footballers teeth? A. Nearly 4 out of 10 players in the UK suffer from toothaches. B. They have been invested a great deal by individual players. C. Many players poor teeth bother their career and daily life. D. British footballers teeth are examined regularly.33. What mainly results in professional footballers poor teeth? A. Experiencing too much training. B. Eating food with too much sugar. C. Breathing in lots of air during exercise. D. Having little education of oral disease prevention.34. These findings are worrying clubs because_. A. footballers arent willing to give up sugary or acidic food B. theyve spent much on their players oral disease prevention C. footballers have more serious tooth problems than the public D. players oral disease may lead to bad performance in games35. This passage is most probably taken from_. A. a dentists diary B. a sports newspaper C. a medicine magazine D. a science report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。 Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as amelting pot. In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 36 Together,however, the ingredients make up a unity. All the ingredients of a salad contribute to thefinished product. They may be covered with the same dressing（调味酱）,but the greenvegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are. From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individualethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may worktogether during the day at similar jobs and in the same panies, but at night they mayreturn to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 37 Each ethnic group has its own special customs, Language, food and traditions toprotect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is,American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within onecountry. 38 Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixedtogether, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to bee anew reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it willbe for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting potwhere people from all over the world e to live and work together forming one nation.There are dozens of shared symbols. 39 In such a culture, symbols like the flag andthe nation-s official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups. Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture ofboth. 40A. Both are correct depending on one-s point of view.B. They never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.C. This is why there is so much diversity within America.D, In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.E. Thus, one needs to abandon ones culture to be considered American.F. They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.G. The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.第三节 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，选出可填人空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was eight, I had to cross a crime-filled neighborhood to school.
