Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh and cry. But this doesnt e easily for someone who es from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”.“How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I dont know how.”“Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, youll learn.”She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers.Tahays elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High Schools poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of D.H. Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things some funny, some painful.The first time Tahay read the groups poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I could write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldnt even finish it.”But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辞). Still, she wouldnt tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that Im worth something.”“She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you dont ever see.”59. What did Tahays mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?A. Fight with them bravely.B. Report them to her teachers.C. Try hard to make friends with them.D. Ignore them and keep going.60. What are the themes of Tahay and her teams poems?A. Their admiration for the great poets.B. Funny and painful stories about their lives. C. Their expectations of a better future.D. Their appreciation of natural beauty.61. How did Tahay probably feel when she first read the groups poems?A. She was cold. B. She was nervous.C. She was excited. D. She was frightened.62. How did Tahay benefit from writing poems?A. She improved her grammar and spelling greatly.B. She won many national poetry petitions.C. She became the first student poet in the city.D. She felt more confident about herself.CSince English biologist Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still of the speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Romer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to acplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the xx Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using puter software, her team had managed to link Homers theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in xx, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you bee food or you run out of food. the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-based tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.63. Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?A. Hannah Byrne.B. Charles Darwin.C. Alfred Romer.D. Steven Balbus.64. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A. There were larger oceans.B. Earth was under greater pressure.C. The moon gave off more energy.D. Earth was closer to the moon. 65. The underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 probably means “_”.A. trappedB. settledC. abandonedD. found 66. What is the focus of the article?A. The arguments over a scientific theory.B. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.C. The proposal of a new scientific theory.D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.DWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity（长寿）? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic (神经质的) than other people. Long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways. Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. Personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.67. The aim of the study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is_.A. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifeB .to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthC. to see whether peoples personality affects their life span D. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity68. What does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?A. They are more likely to get over hardship. B. They are better at negotiating an agreement.C. They generally appear more resourceful.D. They have a good understanding of evolution.69. What finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation？A. Personality characteristics that prove advantageous actually vary with times.B. Easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.C. Readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.D. Such personality characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.70.What can we learn from the findings of the two new studies?A. Anxiety and depression more often than not cut short ones life span.B. Health is in large part related to ones lifestyle.C. Personality plays a decisive role in how healthy one is.D. Longevity results from a bination of mental and physical health.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。（请将答案填涂到机读卡上，E涂为AB，F涂为AC，G涂为AD）Do you have the experience of digging out your suitcase, deciding what t
