He has successfully climbed to the top of the highest mountain in Africa, and most importantly, hes changed the attitude of any normal person who watches him pete.The 17-year-old teenager has one leg. He was born that way, but his goal is to show its not the one thing that defines him. He would also be the first one to tell you that he just wants to prove to others and himself that hes just like other normal ones.When Calabria was young, his parents tried different prostheses(假肢）to find out which was most fortable for their son as he tried to keep up with a family, who has a preference for sports.At first, the Calabrias had their middle child in a prosthesis that looked and functioned like a “real” leg, but soon they decided to choose a different path when they found it wasnt beneficial to his movement. Then the family moved him to arm crutches（手杖）and from there a new burst of energy was found.Getting others to believe that he could take off on the soccer field took a little bit longer. When the Calabrias moved to Concord, they had a hard time convincing the town soccer programme to allow a child like him to pete with able-bodied kids. After months and months of debates and meetings, the family received the answer they were looking for. Since then, witnessing a young man on crutches who petes against those with two legs has bee a fixed event in the Concord munity.“At that time I had nothing but discouragement working with the soccer munity; however, now I have nothing but admiration for the fact that hes been allowed to play, and people see that he adds value to the game,” his father said. “I just think its a great result.”24. This passage shows us a boy with one leg _.A. can do what a normal teenager canB. is realizing as many dreams as he canC. can make a sport event more valuableD. can add value to society25.

It is implied in the last paragraph that Nicolais father _.A. has been discouraged since Nicolai played soccerB. thinks that Nicolai is playing a key role in the teamC. is very delighted that Nicolai can play soccer in the teamD. hasnt expected that Nicolai can be allowed to play soccerCRobinson Crusoe is a famous novel written by Daniel Defoe. The book tells the story of a man who is shipwrecked (遭遇海难的). He spends 28 years on an island near Venezuela. The book tells the story of everything that happens to Robinson Crusoe. He hopes someone will rescue him, but he has been there for so long on his own that he also begins to fear being rescued.RobinsonCrusoewaspublishedin1719.MostexpertsbelievethestoryisbasedonthelifeofAlexanderSelkirk,whowasaScottishsailor.Onanexpedition(探险）in1704,Selkirkhadanargumentwithhisshipscaptain.Selkirkthoughttheshipwasnotsafeandwasabouttofallapart.Whentheshipstoppedataremoteislandtogetfreshwater,Selkirkgotoff.Hetriedtogettheothercrewmemberstoleavewithhim,butnobodywould.Theshipthensailedawaywithouthim.Selkirkspentfouryearsandfourmonthsonhisownontheisland,knownasAguasBuenas.Selkirkwasfinallyrescuedbyashipthatvisitedtheislandin1709.TheshipscaptainwasgratefultoSelkirkbecauseheprovidedfoodforthecrewwhentheyarrived.NowarchaeologiststhinktheyhavefoundtheremainsofSelkirkscamponAguasBuenas.Theyfoundtwodeepholesthatwouldhaveheldwoodenposts.ThearchaeologistssaythisisevidencethatSelkirkbuiltashelterthere.Thepostholesarenearafreshwaterstream.Theyarelocated quitehighup,whichwouldhavemeant thatSelkirkwasabletowatchoutfortheshipsingclosetotheisland.Themostinterestingevidence,thearchaeologistssay,ispartofapieceofequipmentusedbysailorstonavigate(导航).HistoriansbelieveSelkirkwasanavigator,sotheinstrumentcouldhavebelongedtohim.Robinson Crusoewas published ten years after Selkirk was rescued.

They dont move, they dont make sounds, they dont seem to respond to anything at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our humans view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release pounds(化合物)into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose to spread information about one plants disease or infestation so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.In this weeks Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offered some explanations. They had identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.The scientists looked at tomato plants infested by a mon pest, the cutworm. The researchers studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one pound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the cutworm-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.It is a plex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only municate, they look out for one another.32. What does the author try to emphasize in Paragraph 1?A. How plants municate is still a mystery.B. Enough attention has been paid to plant talk.C. Plants are the furniture of the natural world.D. Plants can municate with each other.33. According to Paragraph 2, what remains unknown is _.A. how plants receive and handle the signals from their neighborsB. why plants spread chemical information to their neighborC. how many types of plants release pounds into the airD. whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors34. The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by _.A. making more Hex Vic to attract the pestB. releasing Hex Vic into the air to warn themC. letting them know how to produce Hex VicD. producing enough Hex Vic to kill the pest35. What may be the best title for the passage?A. Survival of Plants B. Plant World C. Talking Plants D. Plant Bug Killer第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 36 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”At first I was paid in candy. 37 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 38 By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 39 The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didnt need to be a rocket scientistyou needed to be a great listener. 40 Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.A.
