Before the exams began, God told me in my mind several times, "Don't cheat. " But I did not
listen because I knew it was not easy for me to get good marks in exams. Taking out my notebook, I
copied the answers from it and passed the exams with very good marks.
I felt guilty and ashamed and asked God to forgive me, which I thought was all I needed to do
to give me peace. Using my good exam results I went on further with my education. Studying in
Kwara State College of Education, I could not have peace in my mind, thinking, "You have done
wrong. The result is not yours. "
At last I went to the leaders of my church to ask for help, who told me that it is not enough to
say sorry to God. I must show that I am sorry by putting right what I did wrong. For me, that meant
telling the principal of the college that I cheated in the exams and that I should not have got into the
college. I wrote a letter to him, telling him what I had done and took the letter to the principal's office
and gave it to his secretary, who read it first. "If this gets to the principal you will go to prison, " she
said, "Go away and think about it. ”
I went back to the church leaders and told them what the secretary said and they said I must still
go to the principal. So the next day, I went back to the secretary, who took me to see the principal
this time. To my surprise, he told me not to be afraid but to go to the person who was in charge of the
exams. I did as required and that person let me take the exams again. I passed! Now I am back at the
college, but, more important, God has taken away the feelings of guilt and I have peace in my mind.
24. What does the writer tell us with the story?
A. Why he cheated in a exam.
B. Why he wrote to the principal.
C. How he recovered a peaceful mind.
D. How he prepared for the college entrance exam.
25. What played the most important part in correcting what the writer did wrong?
A. Working hard at his lessons. B. Doing as the church leaders said.
C. Going to the church to say sorry to God. D. Communicating with the school leaders.
26. How did the principal react when the writer saw him?
A. He was good to him. B. He was angry with him.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. He refused to accept his apology. D. He thought he had done nothing wrong.

The word "inquiry" （or enquiry） comes from the Latin words "in", or "inward", and "quaere",
which is the verb "to question". So inquiry is not just asking questions, it is questioning into
something. It has the quality of getting into something, going deeper, so you can see what you haven't
been able to see before.
When you begin an inquiry, you are deliberately setting out to search for what you don't know.
You have to have the confidence to say that you might be able to figure it out for yourself. And in
that process, you get a sense of real excitement and energy. That energy is both part of, and contributes
to, what we often call "engagement（参与）”. But in order to use inquiry to answer your question,
you have to become good at knowing what you don't know. I would argue that that's exactly the
opposite of what happens in schools. Classrooms focus on what you do know （or are supposed to
know） and leave you unprepared to deal with the things you don't know.
In some ways, we are all surrounded by a bubble（气泡） of the known. When you "know"
something, you identify how your model of the world fits with and explains what you see. Living in
the bubble of the known is comfortable and comforting. You see what you know, and you know what
you see. But to do inquiry, you have to get good at always looking for the boundaries of your
knowledge, and at the limitations and contradictions within what is known. That is what scientists
do. They are always looking for the limits, the boundaries and the points at which their theories fail
to explain the world. Scientists, basically, are always looking for that "door" from the known to the
unknown, where they can press forth and push and, in a sense, expand the bubble of the known.
Inquiry is the action you take when you deliberately challenge the limits of your knowledge.
28. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. The meaning of inquiry. B. The way to make an inquiry.
C. The method of classroom teaching. D. The limitation of classroom teaching.
29. From the first paragraph, we can see the word "inquiry"
A. has different meanings B. comes from the English language
C. has little to do with asking questions D. means exploring deeper into something
学科网（北京）股份有限公司30. To be good at inquiry, you should be good at ___.
A. asking for help from others B. knowing what you don't know
C. staying focused in the classroom D. understanding what is taught to you
31. What does the underlined word "where" refer to?
A. The door to the unknown. B. Within the bubble.
C. In the real world. D. In the world of the unknown.
D
When you walk with a backpack, do you know how the things inside move from side to side?
Now scientists have figured out how to tap into that movement to produce electricity.
Picture a pendulum（摆锤） fixed to a backpack frame and stabilized with springs on either
side. The pack's weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side to side as you walk.
Then a machine is driven by that swinging movement, and produces electrical current to charge a
battery.
Volunteers carried the pack while walking on a running machine and wore masks to measure
the flow of O2 and CO2. When the volunteers were walking with the slightly swinging 20-pound
load, the device did not significantly affect their metabolic（新陈代谢的） rate compared to when
they carried the same weight fixed in place. In fact, the energy-harvesting pack reduced the forces of
acceleration they'd feel in a regular pack, which might mean greater comfort for a long hike. And the
device did produce a steady trickle（涓流） of electricity. If you up the load to 45 pounds, it could
fully charge a smartphone only after 12 hours. The details are in the journal Royal Society Open
Science.
The device produces electricity from human movement and has been identified as a workable
solution to providing a renewable energy source for portable electronic devices. It is particularly
useful to those who work in remote areas, as these people often carry a lot of weight in a backpack
for their exploration.
But here's a real conundrum: the energy-harvesting device currently weighs five pounds. The
researchers say that's about four pounds too many to be a smart alternative to batteries. So they hope
that more research lets them lighten the load so that they can ensure the pack charges your phone up
without weighing you down.
32. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. How the device works. B. What the device looks like.
C. Who the device is designed for. D. Why scientists designed the device.
33. What can we know about the device from Paragraph 3?
A. It was useless for a long walk.
B. It failed to produce steady electricity.
C. It harvested energy as the volunteers walked.
D. Royal Society Open Service conducted the study of the device.
34. What does the underlined word "conundrum" in the last paragraph mean?
A. bond. B. problem. C. decision. D. method.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Finding Smarter Alternatives to Batteries
B. How Can the Movement of Backpack Help?
C. Charging Batteries When Carrying Backpacks
D. Searching for New Ways to Charge Your Phone

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In the first and second grades, I was extremely shy. I had friends, but it just wasn't in my
personality to be very outgoing, even if I knew someone well. I was even quieter with strangers, and
so I wasn't very good at meeting new people. I was afraid that I would do or say something wrong.
So in our school's annual grand play, I usually sat in a secluded（僻静的） corner to watch the
performance alone. I hoped to sit in the background and watch the actors sweat in front of all those
pairs of eyes.
One day in the third grade, my teacher Mrs. Sally called me into her office and said, "Oh, Mary,
you're great at memorizing things, and you have such a sweet personality. Perfect for Jenny!" But I
bowed my head and dared not speak. The teacher saw this and then said, "Of course, plenty of girls
would love the role, and I could find somebody else. But I hope you could try it for me. I had you in
mind for Jenny while writing the play! If you really don't want to, I won't force you. It's your choice.
"
My mind was spinning faster than the windmill（风车） on the school playground. Mrs. Sally,
whom I loved and admired, wanted me to play this role. She believed in me. My eyes moved across
the room to a poster I had never noticed before. It showed a shooting star and read, "If you reach for
the stars, you might at least grab a piece of the moon. " I looked into Mrs. Sally's shining blue eyes
and said, "Okay, I'll try. " I realized it was time to throw off my shy mask and show the world who I
really was.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司In the following five months, the teacher taught me how to set, put on makeup, memorize lines,
create costumes and so on. Gradually, I mastered my lines and songs.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The big day came at last.
At that time, Mrs. Sally came backstage for her final check-up and noticed my nervousness.
