This Christmas I was debating what to give to him. My dad is a hard person to buy gifts for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a little girl. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father. I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift, I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my puter and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other one. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my child-hood, 1 felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift. 24. What was the inspiration for the author’s idea of giving his father a special gift? A. A message from her father. B. A poem of dandelion. C. A message from her mother. D. A picture of Wyoming. 25.

The text printed on the white paper. 26. Who wrote a poem about dreaming according to the text? A. Edgar Allan Poe. B. The author. C. William Blake. D. The author’s father. 27. What may be the best title for the text? A. The idea of giving my father a gift B. The gift my father liked most C. The process of creating a gift D. A gift from my heart C Scientists have found something new about ants. When an ant dies, other ants take it out of the nest, often within an hour after its death. This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sure—and so soon—that another ant is dead. One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “I’m dead—take me away” when it is dead. But there’s a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants don’t move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like. “Wait—I’m not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says. “Wait I’m not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body. To test his theory, Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants, When the scientists used the I’m dead chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the Wait I’m not dead yet chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical is stronger than the dead chemical when picked up by other ants. Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems. 28. What’s the text mainly about? A. The munication of ants. B. The efforts of scientists studying ants. C. The influence ants have on environment. D. The way of ants deciding whether the other ants are dead. 29. What can the research bring about? A. Informing people of how ants deal with death. B. Studying what causes ants death. C. Bringing benefits to mankind. D. Developing the scientists own interest. 30. How do ants know another ant is dead? A. By distinguishing the chemicals on its body. B. By knocking its body to check it. C. By sending out special sounds. D. By checking whether it is moving or not. 31. What can we learn about Choe? A. He studied the ants with a team. B. He has special interest in protecting ants. C. He is a pioneer of studying ants. D. He is devoted to stopping ants dying. D Internet brings about benefits to us, but it sometimes make us annoyed. Two years ago, Brian Weinreich, the co-founder and head of product at Density, got so jaded of receiving spam (垃圾郵件) emails from his business email account that he decided to teach a lesson to all future spammers who tried to contact him. Weinreich considers spam to be as unpleasant as people you don’t know following you in order tos ell you something, who won’t stop pestering you even when you tell them you’re not interested, so he decided to build a solution that would waste spammers’ time in revenge (報復). “Back in early xx, I decided I had enough. It became clear to me: it’s my job to stop spams. That Spam button on Gmail just didn’t get me going anymore. There’s no reward. 1was seeking revenge and some edic relief,” Weinreich wrote in a blog post on Medium. “I figured if I could eat up a spammer s time, then they would have less time to perfect their new spamming technique.” So he invented the Sp@m Looper, a bot (自動程序) whose primary function is to respond to spam emails with a series of open-ended questions that seem like they could be a real person’s response to an email enquiry. Unfortunately, the very first email you receive from any unique spammer will still go into your inbox, but once forwarded to sp@mlooper. , the bot then takes action and continues to automatically respond to all emails from the same spammer s email address until the spammer decides to stop sending you emails. Weinreich developed the bot and put it to work on an email address he specifically created for a non-existent man named “John Turing”, who is the founder and chief leader of a fictitious pany called MLooper. He soon found that lots of spammers were actually tricked into exchanging at least five emails with the bot before they realised that they weren’t talking to a real person. 32. The underlined word jaded in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “ ”. A. scared B. tired C. worried D. depressed 33. The bot responds to spam emails in the name of . A. Gmail B. MLooper C. Weinreich D. John Turing 34. How does the Sp@m Looper work? A. By disturbing the spammers arrangements. B. By inventing some programs in revenge. C. By preventing the spammers sending emails. D. By responding to spam emails automatically. 35. What can be inferred from the text? A. Many spammers have fallen into Weinreich’s trap. B. It’s illegal for Weinreich to invent the bot. C. Weinreich has begun receiving spam emails since xx. D. Gmail played a key part in dealing with spam emails. 第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2分, 滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 By definition, a “nature lover” is someone who likes spending time in the outdoors and observing wild animals and plants. Nature teaches us how to adapt to new conditions, and re-minds us that the earth is always changing. 36. Mother Nature teaches us something new every day, and there are countless ways to soak in the spirit of the outdoors. Kayak (皮劃艇) Whether you live near a lake, river, or a bay, head to the water to feel flowing waves underneath you in a kayak. Many public and private bodies of water offer kayak rental if you don’t have your own and just want to try it out. 37. Beginners should stick to slow-moving waterways, while advanced paddlers can explore the excitement of whitewater.

Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that 61(eat) lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think 62 is the heat that makes people sleepy. However, 63 real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time, about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. Thisis64makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments. The people in these experiments almost always 65 (follow) a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours 66(late). In many parts of the world, people take naps (小睡) in the middle of the day. This is 67 especial true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. 68 (research) are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more 69 (relax) body and mind and therefore is good for health.
