King Shen Nong loved creating new thingsC Every year， 1.5 million kids around the world die as a result of not getting vaccines （疫苗） This is partly because transporting and storing medicines can be a huge challenge in some countries Anurudh Ganesan， 17， knows this firsthand When he was a baby in India， his grandparents carried him 10 miles to a health clinic in a remote village to receive a vaccine But by the time they arrived， the vaccines were no longer usable because they had been overheated Vaccines， Anurudh later learned， must be kept cool to stay effective But refrigerating them requires electricity or ice - precious resources that many developing countries lack Although Anurudh eventually received the vaccine he needed， his experience as a baby and the sad reality that so many other children arent as lucky motivated him to take action The high school student invented Vaxxwagon， a portable vaccine-carrying device that generates its own power to keep lifesaving medicines cool as theyre delivered to remote areas around the world Anurudh first got his idea for Vaxxwagon in xx He read several textbooks to learn everything he could about refrigeration， and then he did research online to learn more about vaccines Rather than relying on electricity or ice， Anurudh figured out a way to use wheels to power a refrigeration system for about eight hours The entire rechargeable cooling system can be pulled to areas in need of vaccines by a bicycle， a car， or an animal Eventually， Anurudh took his design to professors at Johns Hopkins University for advice Not only did they confirm Vaxxwagon could work， but they offered him funding to help build it Anurudh was rewarded with the xx Google Science Fair LEGO Education Builder Award for his invention Anurudh says his final goal is to start selling Vaxxwagon to relief organizations， so it can be used to help people around the world Anurudh， who plans to pursue engineering degree in college， says， Dont give up on your ideas But always try to help others with your projects Thats the point of engineering - to help people28 Why do many children die every year？ _ A.

Motivation is the mother of successD. All things are difficult before they are easyD There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One Generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends. Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldnt consider her my best friend. Best friends dont pay for your wedding. Best friends dont remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends dont tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesnt mean that the mother and daughter relationship cant be very close and satisfying .While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in mon which increases the likelihood of shared panionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the mon experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together. Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they arent speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers emotional well-being. It isnt that they dont care deeply about their mothers. Its just that they shouldnt be burdened with their mothers well being. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.32 What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Differ.B. Prevent.C. Benefit.D. Change.33 What do we know from the text?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mothers love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.34 How does the author mainly prove his statements?A. By listing data.B. By giving explanations.C. By quoting sayings.D. By making examples.35 What is the best title for the text?A. How to be a good mother and daughter？B. Who is a mothers best friend?C. Mother or friend?D. Can a mother be a daughters best friend?二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分） Feeling overwhelmed（压垮的） with school，sports，clubs，or other activities？You might have too much on your plateSure，you have to do some of your activities like homework (36) Look at those and ask yourself： Do I look forward to it？ Maybe you did when you started，but somethings changedMaybe you never really enjoyed it，but youve stuck it out because your parents or friends wanted you to (37) It doesnt have to be another club or sportIt could be catching up on homework，or just getting more time to rest After making up your mind about what has to go，you can do the following before showing your plans to the world Talk to your parents first Your parents may have reasons for wanting you to stick with an activityMaybe theyve already paid for a full season (38) Or maybe they worry that you give up on things too quicklyTalk with them about your decision (39) Pick a time that wont leave your teammates or friends hanging-not before a big game，for exampleFinish out the seasonAnother reason to wait？ (40) You might develop a new skill，or a friend may join the club and make it feel fun againGive yourself time to be sure AChoose the best end date BYour feelings may change CIs there something else Id rather do？ DAsk your coach about a natural stopping point EMaybe they think this activity is good for you FBut many activities are things you decide to do GThank your coach or instructor for all youve learned三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分） No one is born a winner.

Some of them even risk (61) (run) red lights to deliver their meals in time. However, such careless behavior often causes serious problems.

In fact, food delivery workers are often under high (64) (press) from their employers. They face pany fines for delivering food late. Moreover, the more orders they take, the more money they can earn, (65) leads to some workers checking (66)(they)mobile phones for new orders while they are riding their bikes.
