8、s.C.Shewenttoseethedoctor. 第二部分 阅读（共两节 ， 满分50分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) AWho says inventions are only made by grown-ups and professionals? Over the years, children have also succeeded in making their useful contributions to the world. Here are a few inventions that came to life from the minds of
9、young children. Hero HelmetSeven-year-old Samuel Meyers invention is aimed at stopping people from riding their bikes or skateboards without using a helmet. The Hero Helmet features an inbuilt remote that controls a lock on the wheels which unlocks when the Helmet is being worn by the rider. Samuel
10、says: no helmet, no bike. Robotic EarthwormThe first thought that comes to mind is, why a robotic earthworm? Well, ten-year-old David Cohen had some useful applications in mind. He believed it could be used to find victims after a flood, earthquake or fire. The robot could get into small and dangero
11、us places where search dogs and humans could not go. B. E. A. C. O. N. Fifteen-year-old Hannah Herbsts invention, which stands for Bringing Electricity Access to Countries through Ocean Energy, was inspired by her pen pal who lives in Ethiopia and did not have access to lights. So she came up with B
12、. E. A. C. O. N, which absorbs energy directly from ocean waves. Her invention won the “Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge” in 2015 and other numerous awards. Portable Wheelchair ControllerAt only eight years old, Amelia Fox created the invention to help lift people in and out of their
13、 wheelchair. This invention was not just born out of the desire to create something. Amelia developed this controller for her brother, who had just got hip surgery and needed the wheelchair to move around. 21. Who is the youngest inventor?A. Samuel Meyer. B. David Cohen.C. Amelia Fox. D. Hannah Herb
14、st.22. Which of the following can be used as a rescue tool?A. Hero Helmet B. B. E. A. C. O. N.C. Robotic Earthworm. D. Portable Wheelchair Controller.23. Why did Amelia Fox create the invention?A. To give her brother assistance. B. To benefit the earthquake victims.C. To generate electricity effecti
15、vely. D. To protect bike riders from injuries. BNot so long ago therapy (治疗) was limited to an hour-long advising session on a sofa; now you can access free advice on TikTok in under a minute. Perhaps this new trend is growing because it offers easy bite-size answers to big complex questions. The pr
16、oblem with TikTok, however, is that the videos have to be under 60 seconds, which are about serious mental health illnesses being reduced to brief sentences with quick fixes from sometimes unqualified non-professionals. And with the average age of TikTok users between 18 and 24, how helpful is TikTo
17、k therapy?“When I first started creating mental health content, I didnt expect anyone to listen,” explains Jane Smith, who runs a private practice in Hampshire. “But it turns out people are hungry for this sort of information.” Although there is a concern about the videos increasing the risk of self
18、-diagnosis (自诊), Jane thinks otherwise. She compares self-diagnosing a mental health problem to self-diagnosing a common cold, “If you want to find out about the symptoms of a cold, you can look it up online. Thats not a risk because you cant do much with that information until you get to the doctor
19、 anyway. ”Yet despite concerns, the comments on TikTok therapy videos are filled with praises. Rachel, 23, says she finds them very relatable: “If you see a video discussing anxiety, it can you help you acknowledge and discuss topics you might not feel safe to do in other places. It makes me feel le
20、ss alone. ” Weve seen some great mental health content on Tik1ok. However, its important to ask remember that not all the information you find online will be reliable and it can be useful to ask yourself some questions including who is sharing it and why. 24. Why is TikTok therapy getting popular?A.
21、 It sells at a low price.B. It aims at younger users.C. It provides brief solutions.D It is offered by professionals.25. What does Jane think of TikTok videos?A. They may cause some potential risks.B. They are better than going to doctors.C. They are of much help to people in need.D. They show sympt
22、oms of disease in detail.26. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?A. Concerns.B. Videos.C. CommentsD. Praises.27 What may the author agree?A. TikTok will replace hospitals in the future.B. It is quite easy to find reliable medical advice.C. Everyone can create his ow
23、n TikTok videos.D. We should be careful about online information. C Nowadays, the Internet, with its ability to connect people throughout the world, is changing the way people learn languages. There is still no way to avoid the hard work through vocabulary lists and grammar rules, but the books, tap
24、es and even CDs are being replaced by email, video chat and social networks.Livemocha, a Seattle company, has created a website devoted to helping people learn more than 38 languages by exchanging messages over the Internet and then correcting each others messages. The lessons, whether they are flas
25、hcards, quizzes, audio recordings or written and spoken essays, are delivered through the Internet.Michael Schutzler, Livemochas chief executive (主管), says the websites advantage is the ability to practice with a real person. “The great irony (讽刺) is that even if you have learned a foreign language
26、in the classroom for years, you dont have confidence to go into a restaurant and have a conversation with a foreigner，” he said. The casual connections with real people throughout the world, however brief, are not just fun and surprising but show more about how the language is really used.Livemocha
27、is now experimenting with a variety of ways that resemble the games on other social websites to motivate people. The flashcard exercises, for instance, are scored, and the totals earned by studying and teaching appear on the users front page.Besides, each person can set up a profile (简历) which inclu
28、des a short description of his age, location and what language he would like to learn. Therefore, if you want to study one language, you will easily find many people who are fluent in it. And an email or two is all it takes to find a study partner.There are more and more companies like Livemocha off
29、ering online language learning to students throughout the world. And instead of merely helping people practice different languages, they also enable people to share interests and make new friends. 28For what purpose did Livemocha create the website?ATo offer new ways of language learning.BTo make an
30、 advertisement for their company.CTo share interests and make new friends.DTo tell his inspiring story to more people.29What is the advantage of the Internet language learning?ABooks, tapes and even CDs are completely out of use.BLearners can practice languages with real people.CPeople can learn mor
31、e than 38 languages in all.DThere is no need to learn vocabulary and grammar.30Why does the writer give us the example of flashcard exercise in Paragraph 4?ATo show what Livemocha is doing to inspire website users.BTo introduce how Livemocha scores the website users work.CTo explain why Livemocha ex
32、periments with other social websites.DTo tell what Livemocha prepares for the front page of the website.31What can be inferred from the last paragraph?ALivemocha will open more branch companies.BOnline learners can practice languages free of charge.CMore learners will turn to online language learnin
33、g.DLivemocha will be turned into a dating website. DWhen Adora Svitak was twelve years old, she spoke on the TED stage, saying she hates the word childish if its being used to describe irrational （不合理的）demands or irresponsible behavior. She said she has seen enough of that in the adult world, so she
34、 knows irrational demands and irresponsible behavior arent limited to children. In fact, she made the point that adults could learn a thing or two if theyd only open their mind to the possibility that kids have a lot to offer the world.Even as a kid, Svitak often spoke to educators, making the point
35、 that there should be more of a reciprocal （互惠的）relationship between teachers and students. It shouldnt just be teachers at the head of the classroom telling them to do this or that. The students should teach their teachers, she said.But she wasnt naive（幼稚的）, and she knew that isnt how many classroo
36、ms and schools operate in that way. Her theory is that its all about trust. Adults always seem to have a restrictive （约束的）attitude towards kids. Kids have no or very little say in making the rules, Svitak joked.As a young child, Svitak loved to write. When her mom gave her a computer she wrote over
37、300 short stories on it. She wanted to get them published, and she was lucky because her parents were on her side. Even though she was turned down by many publishers, eventually she did have a book of short stories published. She was only seven years old then.After that first success, Svitak has gon
38、e on to do more impressive things, something she wishes more kids had the support to do. She says its important for kids to be heard and contribute when theyre young, so they grow up to become a better kind of adult. The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adults, but rather better adults tha
39、n you guys have been. Progress happens because new generations and new eras grow and develop, and they become better than the previous ones. Its the reason we arent in the Dark Ages anymore, she said.32. What does Svitak think of using childish to describe irrational demands?A. It is unfair for chil
40、dren. B. It can lead to positive effects.C. It takes no account of adults needs.D. It can result in irresponsible behavior.33. What is a good reciprocal relationship between teachers and students according to Svitak?A. Students get along with teachers. B. Students teach instead of learning.C. Teache
41、rs keep telling students what to do. D. Teachers and students learn from each other.34 How did Svitaks parents react to her dream?A. They supported her. B. They had doubt about it.C. They were greatly shocked.D. They hardly took it seriously.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Children
42、need to stick to their dreams.B. Parents should satisfy their childrens needs.C. Children are advised to imitate their parents.D. Parents should support and expect more from children.第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）The dictionary defines “hobby” as an activity done regularly in ones leisure time for p
43、leasure. Hobbies are a great way to forget about your worries. _36_So the stuff you do outside your money-making business is important. Bird watching could be a great hobby for you. _37_They can include listening for bird calls, finding and identifying birds by sight. There are bird-watching clubs i
44、f you want to make it a social activity. If you have kids, its an ideal hobby to share with them. Children enjoy being able to spot birds and can learn identifications quickly. _38_Working in the soil can be a particularly rewarding hobby. You get some great side benefits from it, like improving the
45、 value of your home, making your living environment more pleasant and attractive, and growing food you can eat. Making beer is complex and variable enough to be interesting. The basic reward of a good bottle of beer is easy to enjoy and from there you can create your own personal variety. If youre s
46、omeone who likes to experiment, this could be a fun hobby for you. _39_Taking photos is an easier hobby to get into than before. _40_Now a good digital camera means you can get into photography with low cost and low risk. Starting with the camera on your phone will get you knowledgeable about the ba
47、sics of how light works. You can also learn about more complex camera features from how-to videos. A. The activity combines several senses.B. This hobby has grown in popularity in recent years.C. Gardening involves creativity and time outside in nature.D. Developing film used to be time-consuming an
48、d expensive.E. Studies have looked at how hobbies make you better at your job.F. Plus, youll always have a great homemade gift to give friends and family.G. In fact, a lot of research has looked at the stress-reducing properties of hobbies.第三部分语言运用 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完型填空（共15题 ；每小题1分，满分15分）Ricardo Seml

52、 in the last six years, Semcos revenues (收入) have _51_ from $35 million to $212 million. The company has gone from eight hundred employees to 3,000.
