19、ack to my middle school football days when the coaches ignored me. The next season, not wasting my time, I stayed away from football and joined the cross country team to adapt to the bitterly cold indoor basketball season. At that time, I found a coach who believed in me. Before this race, he and I

20、had discussed the front-running, and decided to stick to our plan: Lead a race from the start. Fifteen minutes laterBOOMthe gun exploded. Hundreds of runners rushed out. I was in the middle of a pack of the most talented runners in Ohio. Slowly, I made my way through the pack as everyone began to fa

21、ll into his pace. By the time we made the turn, I had settled into third place. Suddenly, I slipped and fell to the ground on the wet grass! No one stopped to help. Quickly, I got up and sped back up to catch up with the lead two, but hundreds of runners came right along with me. Gradually, the fiel

22、d of runners began to thin out with me leading the way. Two miles down, only one to go, I picked up the pace. I exploded at top speed toward the finish line. One hundred meters. Fifty meters. Twenty meters. Ten meters. Raising my fists in excitement, I crossed the two blue timing carpets. Boom! A ti

23、me of 16: 14 lit up the big screen with my name and school next to it in first place. I completed my dream of winning a state title ! Like Arthur Lydiard once said, “In every little village in the world, there are great potential champions who only need motivation.” Six years ago, I went from being

24、a nobody, standing on the football sidelines, to becoming a somebody: a state cross country champion.24. How was the author treated by his football coaches? A. He was highly thought of. B.

27、e cheap to buy and can save more electricity than air conditioners. But believe it or not, electric fans do more harm than good in the fight against heat. Most people would ask “hows that possible?” Well, as cruel as it may seem, the very fan youre using could actually be increasing the temperature

28、in your home, depending on how youre using it. As is the case with anything with a motor, fans heat up while they re in use and indirectly warm the area around them as a result. While the current （流） of air your fan creates and blows in your direction might give off the appearance of cooling you dow

29、n, what you re actually feeling is the disappearance of sweat on your skin. Though this may offer some comfort, it won t do much when temperatures rise. “Fans may provide comfort, but they won t prevent heat-related illness when the temperature is in the high 90s,” says Michael McGeehin, PhD, MSPH.

30、This isnt the only way your fan use could be contributing to the heat in your home. While traditional fans only raise the temperature in your home slightly, if you don t use your ceiling fan strategically, you can cause your home to heat up significantly. “Ceiling fans have a perfect direction for s

31、ummer and another one for winter, which can make your home colder or warmer, depending on your preferences,” explains Alleckna. “On hot days, ceiling fans should run in the counterclockwise（逆時針）direction. The summer mode will make your ceiling fan suck the warm air up and push the cold air down.” If

32、 you have no option but to use a box fan to stay cool, remember its placement can make all the difference. If you want to bring in cooler air and keep the warm air out, place your fan next to a window or door.28. What can we know about electric fans? A. Electric fans are more energy-consuming. B. Ha

33、ving to use electric fans is a cruel thing. C. Electric fans are better than air conditioners. D. Using electric fans may result in higher temperature.29. Which can be used to replace the underlined word “strategically” in paragraph 5 ? A. frequently B. properly C. slightly D. steadily30. What might

34、 affect the cooling effect of a ceiling fan? A. Its distance from people. B. Its electric current. C. Its running direction. D. The height of the ceiling.31. What does the author mainly want to express? A. Electric fans can harm the environment. B. Electric fans might cause heat-related illness. C.

35、Different ways to operate different electric fans. D. It isnt a good choice to use electric fans to cool off.D Health experts have known for years that kids who grow up on a farm have fewer chances of allergies and asthma（哮喘）than city kids, but continued research is helping them better understand th

36、e connection between the immune（免疫）system and bacteria that is only found in that setting.A study compared 30 Amish children and 30 Hutterite children from two farming groups in North Dakota. Researchers chose these children because asthma is rare among the Amish but common among the Hutterites, eve

37、n though the groups have similar genetic backgrounds and diets and little exposure to tobacco smoke, polluted air and indoor pets. The one key difference lies in their farming methods: The Amish have no electricity and industrialization, while the Hutterites have them. Because of this, the children

38、are exposed to different bacteria.“We never thought we would see a difference,” Carole Ober, an author of the study said. “But we saw obvious differences with very different cell types and cell numbers.” The Amish children all had a large part of neutrophils（中性粒細(xì)胞）that are part of the so-called immu

39、ne system. The Amish kids neutrophils “were newly created”, evidence of a continual low-grade reaction to harmful bacteria. However, the Hutterite kids had “old” neutrophils. Researchers focused on one particular aspect of farm livingthe dust. They exposed mice to bacteria found in farm dust. After

40、two weeks, they found that when the mice were exposed to farm dust, they produced a protein in their lungs called A20. When they lost this protein, these mice had a normal allergic response to the dust mites（螨蟲）. Researchers confirmed these findings with human surveys where they found that people wh

41、o suffer from allergies and asthma have a shortage in A20 protein. Finally, they took a look at the kids growing up on farms who develop asthma and allergies. You guessed itthose kids have a change in their A20 gene that prevents the production of A20 protein. These researchers may have opened the d

42、oor for treatment options for people who suffer from asthma.32. Where does the difference between Amish and Hutterite children lie in? A. Chances to develop asthma. B. Time to be exposed to tobacco smoke. C. The different genetic backgrounds they own. D. The amount of polluted food they take in.33.

43、How did the researchers think about the findings of the study? A. Satisfying. B. Unexpected. C. Exciting. D. Unconvincing.34. What might newly created neutrophils indicate? A. One s immune system is destroyed. B. The quality of blood is on the decrease. C. The body is losing the ability to protect i

44、tself. D. The body is fighting against harmful bacteria.35. What happened when mice were exposed to farm dust? A. They lost weight quickly. B. Their A20 protein was lost. C. They easily reacted to asthma. D. Their immune system was strengthened.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，并在答題

45、卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Why fake smiles don t always make you happy? Turn that frown（皺眉）upside down. Let a smile be your umbrella. Since childhood, weve been told that if we smile, happiness will come. 36 The idea dates back to Charles Darwin in the 1800s. Since then, people have believed that when you

46、change the expression on your face, you can change your mood. 37 In a recent paper, researchers analyzed the results from 138 studies that tested more than 11,000 participants. After breaking down the studies, they found the effect of smiling on your emotion is only slight. The researchers also look

47、ed into frowning to see if there was a connection between those forced expressions and feeling angry or mad. 38 The classic smiling/frowning test dates back to 1988 when people were asked to rate how funny cartoons were while holding a pen either between their teeth or their lips. When you hold a pe

48、n in your teeth, you feel somewhat forced to smile. However, when you hold one in your lips, you appear as if you re frowning. Interestingly, the people having the pen in their lips rated the cartoons as less funny than those with the pen in their teeth. 39 It wasnt until Israeli researchers re-ran

49、the experiment with and without video cameras in the room that the original results were reproduced. Actually, it is negative to put on a happy face when you re not feeling it. 40 So maybe sometimes, turning that frown upside down isnt such a great idea after all.A. A forced smile is easy to disting

50、uish.B. In both cases, the connections were small.C. But new research finds that the truth isnt that simple.D. In fact, smile and frown are both common facial expressions.E. Later, many researchers tried to repeat the results but failed.F. That doesnt just come from your mom trying to make you look

51、more pleasant.G. People who have to smile a lot in their jobs end up drinking more after work.第三部分 語言知識運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分45分）第一節(jié)（共20小題；每小題15分，滿分30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 “Isobel, are you going to wait all day to dig up your treasure?” I sighed.
