Becoming involved with Un
2、ified Sports has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my senior year. Rowans Unified Sports Club has been the highlight (最精彩的部分) of my final term. Its a competitive sports club where Rowan students (Unified Partners) and the Special Olympics athletes come together to play on the same team f
3、or soccer (fall) and basketball (spring). The goal of Rowans Unified Sports Club is to promote (增进) friendship and inclusion through sports while still keeping a competitive atmosphere. But its not just playing! They provide a variety of other ways to take part and share in their cause. They hope an
4、d try hard to promote equality (平等) and inclusion in all aspects of the club. Unified Sports is a fun way to get involved at Rowan, meet new friends, and have a meaningful experience. They encourage people from all walks of life to join in the Unified family. Words cannot fully explain how much fun
5、taking part in Unified Sports truly is. It not only brings joy and excitement into the Special Olympics athletes lives, but also the student athletes, parents and community as well. I personally look forward to Saturday mornings each week when I am reunited with my teammates. Once everyone is on the
6、 court, nobody notices whether you are disabled or not. Its simply just a group of people of all ages having fun together joining as one unit playing basketball. Playing as a team is exciting and watching the gym full of athletes joining together is inspiring. Now that I have experienced such a rewa
7、rding program, I can only hope it expands to other colleges, high schools, and community centers as well. Everyone has the right to grow up having equal opportunities to play competitive sports. If you have yet to experience Unified Sports, I highly suggest becoming involved in any way you can!1. We

11、 After the seal came across a boat in the harbor where he lives, he fell inside and wouldnt budge for four days. “One morning the seal just pulled himself aboard,” says Ed Stubbings, who owns the boat-turned-bed. Probably thinking the boat was a rock, the seal made himself at home. The seal didnt mo
12、ve an inch not even to eat or drink. Stubbings was a little worried that the 500-pound animal might sink it. Luckily on the fifth day, the seal fell back into the water and swam off.Alligator (短吻鳄) gets new tail When Mr. Stubbs the alligator swims through his pool at the Phoenix Herpetological Socie
13、ty, he looks like any other gator except that his tail is made of rubber. Mr. Stubbs is the first alligator known to wear an artificial tail. Mr. Stubbs was brought to the society nine years ago. “His tail was missing when he arrived,” says President Russ Johnson. Mr. Stubbs couldnt walk or swim pro
14、perly. “We showed him how to swim in the water,” Johnson says. “But that hurt his back.” Later, the scientists used rubber to build an artificial tail attached to Mr. Stubbss back legs. “Once we put the tail on him, he walked with ease,” Johnson says.Dog delivers papers Morgan started her “paper rou
15、te” when she was young. One day as Morgan and her owner Bill set out on a walk, she spotted a rolled-up paper. To Bills surprise, Morgan grabbed the object in her mouth, walked back to the house, and dropped it on the doorstep. Morgan enjoyed the activity so much that she wanted to deliver every pap
16、er she saw on her walks. Now three-year-old Morgan brings the paper to her owner and neighbors, even in bad weather. “Morgan has a natural instinct (本能) to carry things with her mouth,” dog behaviorist Pat Miller says. “And she feels rewarded by the activity, so she keeps it up.”5.

18、aise.C. Her neighbors rewards. D. Pat Millers encouragement.C Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to PIBOT. Developed in South Korea, this little machine is about the size of a childs toy, and has a head that kind of looks like a toaster (烤箱). Its also able to fly a plane. The researchers responsible fo
19、r the robots development have actually managed to program it with all the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a standard airplane. Through a built-in webcam (网络摄像机), PIBOT is able to gather information about its surroundings such as location, airspeed, and weather conditions. With all of this
20、information, its able to make decisions in much the same way as a human pilot would. Its already completed one successful test flight sort of. In the video presented at IROS 2014 in Chicago, PIBOT was seen guiding the airplane through a short test flight in a flight simulator (模拟器) a process which i
21、ncluded both takeoff and landing. Its super cool. Now, its worth mentioning that even as impressive as PIBOT is we arent going to be seeing it in any real airplanes at any point in the near future. Although the little robot is certainly able to operate a plane, it doesnt quite have the skills necess
22、ary to address some of the real world situations met by pilots such as bad weather or mix-ups on the runway. It doesnt meet the governments rules, either. The inventors arent terribly discouraged, however. They expect that its only a matter of time before they manage to get PIBOT up to the necessary
23、 standards. When the day comes, we might see airlines put to work a whole new type of pilot; one who never tires, never gets hungry, and never makes mistakes. So . if youve a career in aviation (航空), it might soon be time to start planning for retirement (退休).8. We know from the text that PIBOT _.A.
24、 is very large B. can serve as a toasterC. was developed in Chicago D. is designed to operate a plane9. In the presented video, PIBOT _.A. competed with a human pilotB. completed several test flightsC. made decisions totally like humansD. successfully guided a plane to take off and land10. Why wont

26、earchers will have to abandon the planC. PIBOT will surely replace human pilots one dayD. the inventors are confident about the future of PIBOTD According to research, half the worlds population will be speaking or learning English by 2015. The reports author, David Graddol, found that many governme
27、nts are now introducing the teaching of English, even at kindergarten level, because of its economic importance. English predominates (占主导地位) in the world of business, with many countries wishing to compete for financially important contracts (合同). However, countries such as Malaysia and Sri Lanka a
28、re protecting their native languages, which are closely connected with their national independence and identity. According to the report, the rapid growth in English learning around the world is the result of increased numbers of primary school children and middle-aged people being taught the subjec
29、t for the first time. But the report predicts that the boom (激增) will be over by 2050, when English-language students will be down from 2 billion to 500 million. The English-language teaching business will become the victim of its own success, and will therefore gradually decrease over time. As more
30、 of the worlds youngest children learn English as their second language, fewer of them will need to be taught it later in their school careers, as they will already have reached high levels of proficiency (熟练). They will even be expected to start learning other school subjects such as maths and scie
31、nce through the medium of English. Many universities are also choosing to teach in English, with students expected to listen to, read and write very high-level subjects in English instead of their own languages. Mr. Graddol points out that Britain hasnt got a very good reputation for learning other
32、languages, so it may be at a disadvantage in the future. Valuable business may move away from Britain to countries where more people are bilingual (双语的) or multi-lingual, skills which are highly prized. The report also shows that English isnt the only language spreading across the world. Far from be
33、ing dominated by English, the world will become more multi-lingual. Chinese, Arabic and Spanish are all popular, and likely to be languages of the future. This is something students worldwide will need to think about when planning their careers.12. Why are some countries protecting their native lang
34、uages against the influence of English?A. To strengthen their national identity.B. To spread their languages.C. To expand their economy.D. To prevent culture shock.13. Paragraph 3 suggests that by 2050 _.A. English speakers will face great pressureB. the number of English learners will grow rapidlyC
35、. the English-language teaching business will disappearD. there may be less demand for English-language teaching14. Young people who learn English at primary schools are expected to _.A. achieve a high level of their own languageB. spend more time studying maths and scienceC. learn other subjects, r
36、ead and write in EnglishD. teach others English later in their school careers15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. English will be replaced by Chinese or Spanish.B. Britain will absolutely lose lots of its businesses.C. Therell be a demand for multi-lingual speakers.D. Students would like
37、 to study in bilingual countries.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。Faces of stone Easter Island is just a dot (点) in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile. 16 And it is volcanic, which is probably why it has no trees. Each of the islands three corners has an extinct v
38、olcano. Easter Island was relatively unknown until 1722, when Dutch Admiral Roggeveen arrived with the first Europeans ever to set foot on the island. To their great surprise, they were greeted by hundreds of extremely large stone statues lining the shores. 17 All were “figures of men with short squ
39、are bodies and strangely oversized heads, many balancing red stone hats on their heads.” They were very similar to one another. 18 Each face was taller than a human being, and many were as tall as a four-story building. For an early society to have made these huge figures with only stone tools was a
40、n amazing achievement in itself. 19 The discovery of a large stone quarry (采石场) unlocked the secrets. It was obvious that this was the site where the statues had been carved before being moved to their final resting places. Some statues appeared to be complete, while others had barely been started.
41、When work on these statues suddenly stopped, some were in the process of being moved. It was obvious that the statue builders had cut down the islands trees to make rolling logs (滚木) and wooden scaffolds (支架). 20 A. The history of Easter Island is rich.B. It is a relatively small island with a total
42、 area of only 63 square miles.C. For centuries, scientists have tried to measure the weight of the statues.D. Each had a large nose and long ears, but they were not exactly the same.E. To the Europeans, the unusually large legless creatures appeared strange indeed.F. Then they used these tools to ca
43、rry the huge statues from the quarry to the islands coast.G. What was even more mysterious was how the people moved the creations, some of which weighed many tons.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The life of George Washington was characte

The moment I entered in the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees come into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldnt stop taking photo. As I wandered along the path, enjoy
58、the beautiful view, I noticed something unpleasantly. Two schoolgirls jumped the fence to pick flowers. Obviously they didnt realize that their behavior had done great damage on the beauty of the park. Without hesitation, I went up and stopped them politely.

Seeing that, I smiled and something looked nicer in my eyes.第二节：书面表达（满分30分）某中学生英文报正在开展题为“未来的电脑”的征文活动。请你发挥想象，用英语写一篇短文并投稿。注意：词数120左右。_
