Now that they have each other, their friendship is stronger than what any word could ever describe.Aside from having autism, 14-year-old Skyler is currently deaf and is losing his sight. He also has no effective means to municate. Kreed, 17, uses a device to municate and has multiple medical conditions. Once Kreed learned Skyler was also speechless, their friendship began.“We were able to explain to Kreed that Skyler is deaf and also speechless like him,” Kreeds mother, Erin Polk, said. “He seemed to understand and ever since then has wanted to be with Skyler and calls him his best friend.”The best friends, who live down the street from each other, hang out just like typical teenagers. They eat pizza and French fries and watch movies together. They also give each other a helping hand.“Kreed will help Skyler by leading him to places he is afraid to walk into,” Polk said. “We think his lack of good sight makes it scary for him in new places, so Kreed will always offer his hand to help him through those times.”For Kreed, his best friend role has given him confidence. According to his mom, being able to help others helps him as well.“Skyler has given Kreed more social confidence. By having a friend, he can 100 percent be himself and finally to be able to actually help another peer rather than being the person always helped,” she said.Even though theyre speechless, the teens municate in their own way by giving certain looks or connecting through touch. Kreed doesnt mind if Skyler gets close to him or touches him, which seems to please Skyler. According to Polks blog, the teens simply want to be around each other. Its clear that something unites Kreed and Skyler, but its more than their autism or speechless munication. Its their beautiful friendship - that clearly has no boundaries.16. From the passage, we can learn that Skyler and Kreed _. A. have something in monB. are of the same age C. are unable to see each otherD. have no ability to municate17. How does Kreed help Skyler? A. By taking him where he dare not go alone. B. By giving him good advice on where to go. C. By taking him to the places where he used to go. D. By getting rid of his scare on the way to school.18. According to his mother, by helping Skyler, Kreed _. A. has gained confidenceB. is also benefited C. is able to municate betterD. is more outgoing19. We can infer that in Skyler and Kreeds culture, it is the custom for people _. A. to touch each other a lot in small talkB. to talk to each other in close distance C. to avoid eye contact while chatting D. to keep their distance while chattingBGirls do better at schoolAround the world, girls do better than boys at school. These are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of 1.5 million 15-year-olds in 74 regions across the globe.The level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the results. Other causes, such as the ine level of the region also had little impact on the findings. In only three regions Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state Himachal Pradesh was the opposite with boys doing better.So what are the causes of girls stronger performance? In the UK, girls outperform boys in exams that are taken at the age of 15 or 16, called GCSEs(普通中等教育证书). According to education expert Ian Toone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought up. “Boys are encouraged to be more active from an early age, whereas the restless movements of baby girls are calmed Hence, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time, which is useful for something like studying for GCSEs.He goes on to say that boys often get together in larger groups than girls. Because of this they are more likely to be influenced by peer(同龄人) pressure and develop a gang mentality (帮派心态). He says that GCSEs require a lot of personal work and are not viewed as cool in a childish culture.This is backed up by research in the UK that says girls are out-performing boys at the age of five. So what is the answer? Should girls and boys be educated separately? Or do exams and school curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys skills? These are the questions facing educators in many countries. 20. What are the two things that made little or no difference to the results? A. Gender equality and intelligence.B. Gender equality and ine level.C. Ine level and feelings.D. Ine level and intelligence.21. According to Ian Toone, girls do better at school than boys because girls _.A. study harder B. are clevererC. can sit still longerD. are more restless22. What does Ian Toone say can influence boys? A. Gang mentality.B. Personal work.C. Peer pressure.D. Childish culture. 23. What could be changed to include the skills boys have? A. Exams and school curricula.B. Ways of education and evaluation. C. Outdoor activities and performances. D. Separate education and different curricula.CWhat will the future be like? Good or bad? A lot of science-fiction writing imagines a world which is dark and scary. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford hunts robots in a chaotic (混乱的) Los Angeles. Planet of the Apes shows a hopeless future for humankind. Theres a word to describe the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia. It means an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad. The opposite is utopia. But does tomorrows world have to be so disappointing?No. A new project wants to use the power of science fiction to inspire people to create a better future. Project Hieroglyph brings together writers, scientists, engineers and artists to create optimistic stories about things which really could happen in the next 50 years. Its just a matter of making an effort. Experts say its easier to create a dystopia than write a feel-good story. Theres more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting when there are a lot of problems to solve. No challenge, no story! But the project produced a book with some promising plots. One of them is about environmentalists who fight to stop entrepreneurs (创业者) from building the first hotel in Antarctica. Well, theres conflict there and it seems reasonable, so it could be a good story. But will these stories actually change anything or just keep us entertained? Ed Finn, the books editor, thinks the former. He says: A good science-fiction story can be very powerful. It can inspire hundreds, thousands, millions of people to do something that they want to do. The influence of science fiction can already be seen in modern research, says Professor Braden Allenby. He asks: Why are people working on, for example, invisibility cloaks (斗篷)? Well, its Harry Potter, right?Time will tell how far we can go. Lets dream big and think outside the box. Who knows the wonderful things we can e up with? 24. The underlined word “utopia” in paragraph 2 most probably means “_.A. a real world where people can do anything they likeB. an imagined place where things are unpleasant or badC. an imaginary perfect world where everyone is happyD. a wild and terrible place where no one can live happily 25. Experts say its easier to create a dystopia than a feel-good story because _.A. a dystopia needs less imaginationB. a feel-good story is more interesting C. there is no conflict in a feel-good story D. there are more problems to solve in a dystopia 26. Professor Braden Allenby takes “invisibility cloaks” as an example _.A. to cause readers attentionB. to amuse science fiction readersC. to introduce a science fiction storyD. to show the influence of science fiction27. What is the best title for the passage? A. What is science fiction? B. Can science fiction help us? C. What will man do in the future? D. Shall we live a better life in the future?DFour out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the states Department of Motor Vehicles.The agency began issuing permits for the testing of self-driving vehicles in September xx.Three of the four cars belonged to Google, the fourth to parts supplier Delphi.Both firms denied their vehicles had been at fault.Under Californian law, details of car accidents remain secret.However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident and that the majority of minor fender-benders(擦撞) had been in the form of rear-end(后尾) collisions from other drivers.Safety is our highest priority. Since the start of our programme six years ago, weve driven nearly a million miles automatically, on both freeways and city streets, without causing a single accident, said a spokesperson.Delphi told the BBC its vehicle was hit while still at a crossroads and was in human driving mode at the time.A police report indicates the fault of the accident is with the second vehicle, not Delphi. No-one was hurt in the incident, said a spokesperson.An unknown source told the Associated Press that two of the accidents occurred while the vehicles were occupied by human drivers, and all four vehicles were going very slowly at the time of the collisions.Chris Urmson, director of Googles self-driving car programme, wrote in a blog post that there have been 11 accidents involving Google cars since the project began six years ago but not one has been caused by one of its vehicles. Rear-end crashes are the most frequent accidents in America, and often theres little the driver in front can do to avoid getting hit, he said.28. What is the passage mainly about? A. Self-driving car accidents.B. Motor vehicle problems. C. Self-driving vehicle problems.D. Traffic accidents in California.29. We can learn from the passage that the self-driving cars _. A. caused the accidents when driven by human driversB. hit other cars and caused the accidents C. were responsible for the accidentsD. were knocked into from behind30. The passage intends to tell us that the self-driving cars _. A. are just road killersB. need to be improved C. are in good qualityD. shouldnt be produced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。 Create Beauty YourselfIn itself life is neutral (中立的). We make it beautiful, we make it ugly; life is what energy we bring to it. 31 If you simply sit there and you want it to be beautiful, then it will not be - you have to create beauty. Beauty is not there like an object or a rock. Beauty has to be created. You have to give a sight to reality, you have to give color to reality, you have to give a song to reality - then it is beautiful.So whenever you participate in creating beauty, it is there; whenever you stop creating, it is not. 32 Happiness is a creation; so is misery. You get only that which you create, and you never get anything else. That is the whole philosophy of karma: 33 Life is just a blank cloth-you can paint a beautiful scene, or you can paint black ghosts (鬼) and dangerous people. 34 You can make a beautiful dream or a bad dream.Once this is understood, things are very simple. You are the master; it is your responsibility. Ordinarily we think that life has some objective beauty and objective ugliness. 35 It gives you all that is needed: Now do it yourself! It is a do-it-yourself affair.A. You get only that which you do.B. What is beauty?C. If you pour beauty into life, it is beautiful.D. Its up to you.E. No! Life is just an opportunity.F. Life is not what you think it is.G. Beauty is a creation; so is ugliness.第三部分语言知识运用(共三节，满分60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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Falling off a box car and landing on my head, I lost my sight when I was four years old.
