8、th an IQ of 150+ at 17, Im anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the compu
9、ter, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldnt. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 wh

15、aken so farCA few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a milelong advertisement into space. To advertising agencies (机构), it would have been “a dream come true”. However, advertising standards agencies finally decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead with t
16、heir plans and they were forced to give them up.Space may indeed be the final place for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, and in newspapers and magazines, there
17、 is a whole other world of advertising messages for our attention .There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos (商标) we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets?Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of (意识到的)
18、 these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesnt mean that they dont work. Take product placement, for example. You are in a cinema, watching the latest Hollywood movie. Look carefully at the make of car your favorite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is?
19、Chances are, you can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in the film.So, whether Space Marketing finally succeeds in sending ads into space or not is perhaps less important than it might seem. This would not change a thing. Our everyday lives are al
20、ready strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not.28. What happened to the plan of sending an ad into space?A. It came to nothing.B. It was a dream come true.C. It had to wait a few years before it was carried out.D. It was supported by the advertising standards agencies.29. How
21、does the author explain the “other world” of advertising messages?A. By showing research findings B. By explaining research findings C. By giving instructions D. By using examples30. As a form of advertising , product placement .A. costs a little B. doesnt work C. is less obvious than TV ads D. main
22、ly appears in Hollywood movies31. What does the author suggest at the end of the text？A. We live in a world of advertising. B. Weve changed a lot because of advertising.C. Space Marketing leads in the advertising industry.D. Space ads will mark the beginning of a new world.DCamels are large animals
23、living in dry areas. There are two species of camels; the Arabian camel with a single hump(驼背) from the dry desert areas of West Asia, and the Bactrian camel with two humps from Central and East Asia. Camels are over 7 feet tall and weigh over 1,600 pounds. They will live up to 40 to 50 years. Most
24、camels are domesticated(驯化) and fed by people. Camels are plant-eatersCamels are very strong animals with wide, padded feet. They have thick leathery pads on their knees and chest. Camels have nostrils(鼻孔)that can open and close, protecting them from the desert environment. Bushy eyebrows and two ro
25、ws of long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand. Their mouth is extremely tough, allowing camels to eat thorny(带刺的)desert plants. Their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand. Their thick coats reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the intense heat from desert sand. Their
26、 long legs help by keeping them further from the hot groundCamels can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days. They do not store water in their humps as is commonly believedThe humps are actually a container of fat. Camels are incredibly well-adapted to their environment. When conditions heat up,
27、camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and therefore water loss. They may not sweat at all during the dayCamels are sometimes called “ships of the desert” because people ride them around the hot, dry deserts of the worldHowever, the number of camels is becoming small
28、er for various reasons32According to the passage, camels usually live in _AAsiaBAfricaCAmericaDAustralia33Paragraph 2 is mainly about _Acamels are useful animals Bcamels are clever animalsCcamels body structure and function Dcamels characteristics and habits34The reason why camels lose little water
29、in deserts is that they _Aget water from green foodsBcan adjust their temperatureCstore enough water in the humpsDcan manage without water35What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?AWays to protect camelsBHabitats of camelsCReasons for raising camelsDFunctions of camels第

31、f us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 37 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended u
32、p with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character
33、types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 38 No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 39 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experience
34、s. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well. 40 For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As experts continue to study the scienc
35、e of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.AIt all depends on your character.BThose are the risks you should jump to take.CBeing better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.DThus, these well-equipped people survived because they were
36、 the fittest.EThis is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.FHowever, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.GNew brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（
