Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none---that’s because all of
Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas（画布）---the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece,
only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach
with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then，Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while
creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven't changed---all he needs is a
stick, a garden rake (耙子) and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles,
looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance (自由职业的)
drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking
to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys
watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman”
in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand-he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an
organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group
dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are
held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
41. What do we know about Denevan?A. He used to be a chef.
B. He has a talent for creating sand art.
C. He puts his work on show regularly.
D. He showed artistic talents at a very young age.
42. It can be learned from the passage that__________
A. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work
B. it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw on
C. it usually takes long for the storm to destroy Denevan's work.
D. Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools
43. What does Denevan enjoy about his job according to the passage?
.
A Walking a long distance.
B. Waiting for the storm to come
C. Looking for a suitable canvas.
D. Watching his work being destroyed by nature.
44. Which of the following can best describe Denevan?
A. Generous. B. Kind-hearted.
C. Imaginative. D. Traditional.
45. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Denevan loses his interest in art soon.
B. Denevan is also popular as a chef.
C. Being a happy chef is Denevan's final goal in life.
D. Denevan’s fame helps him with his chef job.

Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British
stereotypes(刻板印象)”funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner.Another
was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl cursing(骂)at her teachers.But back home,British people were
laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language,but the reasons for it can be very different.Britons and Americans speak the
same language,but humor does not always translate.
Take The Office as an example.This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US.Both the US
and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town.But David Brent,the boss of the UK office,is not a
nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,”wrote series
creator Ricky Gervais.“He couldn’t be too mean.”Gervais said British people are different from Americans because“Britons cruelly make fun of people we like
or dislike…and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor are
because of“our upbringing”.
“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,”he wrote.“Britons
are told,‘It won’t happen for you’.”
Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode(集). Even if they’re not perfect, the
characters “learn a lesson” for the future.
But in David Brent’s office—and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is often sad. You are often left with
the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems truer to life and so much funnier.
It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-
talk show,for example.
Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.
46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show that British humor is not funny at all.
B. To show that American people don't understand British people.
C. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.
D. To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.
47. What's the meaning of the underlined word“mean”in Paragraph 3?
A. Unkind. B. Great. C. Average. D. Ugly-looking.
48. Which of the following statements about The Office is TRUE according to the article?
.
A David Brent is quite a nice guy.
B. Michael Scott is a rather mean guy.
C. Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
D. Episodes in the US version often end in a boring way.
49. What can we infer from the article?
A. Britons do not like to make fun of others.
B. British comedy often has a moral message.
C. American people are brought up to be more positive.
D. Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.
50. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?
A. They are slight differences that can be ignored. B. They can partly show cultural differences.
C. They show stereotypes of different cultures. D. They help people communicate with each other.
DAbout six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat
down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So,
how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve
been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实） my growing belief that children are
changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high
school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike
anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer
exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social
knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status.
Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things
we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of
American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they
children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less
challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information
to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized
and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
51. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
52. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导）
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
53. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________.
A. the widespread influence of televisionB. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
54. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
55. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny
B. He thinks the change worth our attention
C. He considers it a rapid development
D. He is extremely upset about it

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer. Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did
not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11.
After her death, I felt sad and discouraged. I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions.
When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough
money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children.
Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a
garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73,000. In the
past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer.
I’ve been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned. It received an award from President. This
great honour raised awareness and money for our cause.
The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for
scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove
them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the
research of this life-saving technology.
Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is
possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over toall aspects of my life, making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer.
56. What happened to Sydney when she was 11? (No more than 10 words)
________________
57. What does PPD aim to do? (No more than 14 words)
________________
58. What does the underlined word “removing” in Paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 5 words)
________________
59. Why did the author feel proud according to Paragraph 5? (No more than 15 words)
________________
60. What can we learn from the author’s experience according to the passage? (No more Than 25 words)

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none---that’s because all of
Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas（画布）---the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece,
only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach
with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then，Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while
creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven't changed---all he needs is a
stick, a garden rake (耙子) and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles,
looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance (自由职业的)
drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking
to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys
watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman”
in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand-he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an
organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group
dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are
held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
41. What do we know about Denevan?
A. He used to be a chef.
B. He has a talent for creating sand art.
C. He puts his work on show regularly.
D. He showed artistic talents at a very young age.
42. It can be learned from the passage that__________
A. Denevan walks a lot to complete his work
B. it is not hard for Denevan to find suitable sand to draw on
C. it usually takes long for the storm to destroy Denevan's work.
D. Denevan is very particular about his drawing tools
43. What does Denevan enjoy about his job according to the passage?
A. Walking a long distance.
B. Waiting for the storm to come
C. Looking for a suitable canvas.
D. Watching his work being destroyed by nature.
44. Which of the following can best describe Denevan?
A. Generous. B. Kind-hearted.
C. Imaginative. D. Traditional.
45. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Denevan loses his interest in art soon.
B. Denevan is also popular as a chef.
C. Being a happy chef is Denevan's final goal in life.
D. Denevan’s fame helps him with his chef job.

Nobody laughed when the UK comedy show Little Britain toured the US. Americans didn’t find the “British
stereotypes(刻板印象)”funny. One character was a woman who was sick whenever she saw a foreigner.Another
was a loud and rude 15-year-old girl cursing(骂)at her teachers.But back home,British people were
laughing,thinking,“Yes!That’s exactly what we’re like!”
A laugh is a laugh in any language,but the reasons for it can be very different.Britons and Americans speak the
same language,but humor does not always translate.
Take The Office as an example.This was originally a UK TV series but it was changed for the US.Both the US
and UK series are set in a boring workplace in a boring town.But David Brent,the boss of the UK office,is not a
nice guy like Michael Scott in the US version. “We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy,”wrote series
creator Ricky Gervais.“He couldn’t be too mean.”
Gervais said British people are different from Americans because“Britons cruelly make fun of people we like
or dislike…and of ourselves”. He believes the differences between the American and British senses of humor arebecause of“our upbringing”.
“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the United States,”he wrote.“Britons
are told,‘It won’t happen for you’.”
Things usually turn out fine at the end of every US Office episode(集). Even if they’re not perfect, the
characters “learn a lesson” for the future.
But in David Brent’s office—and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is often sad. You are often left with
the feeling that things just couldn’t get worse. For British people, this seems truer to life and so much funnier.
It’s not just Britain and the US that have comic differences. Few foreigners would understand a Chinese cross-
talk show,for example.
Cultural differences are no laughing matter. But comic differences can be a window into a culture.
46. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show that British humor is not funny at all.
B. To show that American people don't understand British people.
C. To show that Britain and America have different stereotypes.
D. To show how humor may mean different things in different cultures.
47. What's the meaning of the underlined word“mean”in Paragraph 3?
A. Unkind. B. Great. C. Average. D. Ugly-looking.
48. Which of the following statements about The Office is TRUE according to the article?
A. David Brent is quite a nice guy.
B. Michael Scott is a rather mean guy.
C. Episodes in the UK version often end on a hopeless note.
D. Episodes in the US version often end in a boring way.
49. What can we infer from the article?
A. Britons do not like to make fun of others.
B. British comedy often has a moral message.
C. American people are brought up to be more positive.
D. Jokes are difficult to translate from one language into another.
50. What is the author’s opinion of comic differences?
A. They are slight differences that can be ignored. B. They can partly show cultural differences.
C. They show stereotypes of different cultures. D. They help people communicate with each other.
【答案】46. D 47. A 48. C 49. C 50. B

home, British people were laughing, thinking, ‘Yes! That’s exactly what we’re like!’”可知当英国喜剧节目《小
英国人》在美国巡演时，没有人笑。美国人并不觉得“英国人的刻板印象”有趣。其中一个角色是一个看
到外国人就生病的女人。另一个是一个吵闹粗鲁的15岁女孩诅咒她的老师。但在英国国内，英国人却在大
笑，并在想，“是的！我们就是这样的人!”由此可推知，第一段的目的是说明在不同的文化中，幽默可能
意味着不同的东西。故选D。
【47题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文中“We had to make Michael Scott a slightly nicer guy”以及“He couldn’t be
的
too…”可知Michael Scott被人们塑造成一个有些友善 人，即他不可能太不友好，由此可知，画线词意思
为“不友好的”。A. Unkind.不友好的；B. Great.极好的；C. Average.平均的；D. Ugly-looking.模样丑陋的。
故选A。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“But in David Brent’s office—and in lots of UK comedies—the last scene is
often sad.”可知但在David Brent的《办公室》里——以及在许多英国喜剧里——最后一幕往往是悲伤的。
由此可知，C选项“英剧经常以悲剧方式结束”正确。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第五段中“Americans are brought up to believe they can be the next president of the
United States…”可知美国人从小就被教育相信他们能成为美国的下一任总统……由此可推知，美国人从小
被教育要积极。故选C。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But comic differences can be a window into a culture.”可知但喜剧差
异可以成为了解一种文化的一扇窗户。由此可推知，作者认为喜剧差异在一定程度上展示了文化差异。故
选B。
D
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat
down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So,how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve
been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实） my growing belief that children are
changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high
school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike
anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer
exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social
knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status.
Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things
we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been installed in 98 percent of
American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they
children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less
challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information
to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized
and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
51. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
52. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导）
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
53. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific developmentD. the rising standard of living
54. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
55. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny
B. He thinks the change worth our attention
C. He considers it a rapid development
D. He is extremely upset about it
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者无意中听到一对母子的谈话证实了他的一个想法，那就是现在的孩子正在
变得越来越成人化。作者认为电视节目无差别地给成人和孩子播放相同的节目，是导致孩子过早成人化的
主要原因。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed”
until we were in high school.可知在作者记忆中他们是直到高中才体会到失落，故推测他认为那么小的孩子会
感到失落是难以想象的。D. something hardly to be expected in a young child（在如此小的孩子身上很难想象
的事情）符合以上说法，故选D项。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的 Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages:
traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.可知，老师在教给孩子成人知识的时
候是有阶段的，循序渐进的。一般情况下教给六年级孩子的东西，不会教给五年级。B. gradually and under
guidance(引导）（在引导下循序渐进）符合以上说法，故选B项。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段的In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation （揭示）machine has been
installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to
all viewers alike, be they children or adults.可知过去30年电视在美国家庭普及，它们无差别地给成人和孩子
播放相同的节目，故推测电视是导致孩子过早成人化的主要原因。A. the widespread influence of television
（电视的普及的影响）符合以上说法，故选A项。【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of
control over the social information to which children have access.可知通过印刷媒体来交流可以在很大程度上控
制孩子所接触的社会信息。D. It can control what children are to learn.（能够控制孩子所学的东西）符合以上
说法，故选D项。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children
don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults
than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once
were on longer exists. Why? 可知近年孩子越来越成人化的证据越来越多，这个变化是好是坏很难说，但是
孩子和从前不一样了这是十分确定的，这是为什么呢？根据这段话尤其是最后的“why”可以推测作者认为
这种现象值得人们思考。B. He thinks the change worth our attention（他认为这个改变值得思考）符合以上说
法，故选B项。
第Ⅱ卷 (满分35分)
第一部分：阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When I was 10, my friend Sydney suffered from a brain cancer. Sydney fought against it, but the cancer did
not respond to the treatment, and could not be removed. Sydney died at the age of 11.
After her death, I felt sad and discouraged. I decided to turn these negative emotions into positive actions.
When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two friends. My goal is to raise enough
money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer in children.
Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink Polka Dots Guild event, a
garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought in over $73,000. In the
past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing brain cancer.
I’ve been shocked by the public recognition that PPD has earned. It received an award from President. This
great honour raised awareness and money for our cause.
The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for
scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that doctors can remove
them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to have helped fund the
research of this life-saving technology.
Pink Polka Dots has inspired me to be an activist. My experience has taught me that with devotion, it is
possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in me has carried over toall aspects of my life, making me a competitive speaker and a devoted volunteer.
56. What happened to Sydney when she was 11? (No more than 10 words)
________________
57. What does PPD aim to do? (No more than 14 words)
________________
58. What does the underlined word “removing” in Paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 5 words)
________________
59. Why did the author feel proud according to Paragraph 5? (No more than 15 words)
________________
60. What can we learn from the author’s experience according to the passage? (No more Than 25 words)
________________
【答案】56. Sydney died at the age of 11.
57. PPD aims to raise money to help do a research on removing brain cancer.
58. Cut off.
59. Because he found PPD, which has helped fund the research of life-saving technology.
60. We have learned that it is possible to make a difference in the world with devotion.

的时候和朋友成立PPD募捐活动，募集资金帮助寻找脑癌的治疗方法。PPD募捐活动得到公众的认可，并
且为一些科学发现提供了启动资金，作者的经验告诉我们只要付出，就有可能改变世界。

(在我10岁的时候，我的朋友Sydney患了脑癌。Sydney与癌症作了斗争，但是癌症对治疗没有反应，也不
能切除。Sydney 11岁时就去世了。)”由此可知，Sydney在11岁时由于脑癌去世了。故答案为Sydney
died at the age of 11.
【
57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Over the years, PPD had held fundraisers (募捐活动) across the city. The first Pink
Polka Dots Guild event, a garage sale, just raised $900, but our latest fundraiser, the 2012 golf tournament, brought
in over $73,000. In the past five years, we have raised almost a million dollars to help do a research on removing
brain cancer. (多年来，PPD在整个城市举办募捐活动。第一次PPD公会活动，一场车库甩卖，刚刚筹集了
900美元，但我们最新的筹款活动，2012年的高尔夫锦标赛，筹集了超过73000美元。在过去的五年里，我们已经筹集了近一百万美元来帮助进行一项移除脑癌的研究。)”以及第五段“The efforts that we have
made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided start-up funding for scientific discoveries (我们所做的
努力确实帮助了癌症研究。PPD为一些科学发现提供了启动资金)”可知，PPD活动旨在筹集资金帮助移除
脑癌的研究。故答案为PPD aims to raise money to help do a research on removing brain cancer.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第二段“When I was 15 years old, I founded the Pink Polka Dots Guild (PPD) with two
friends. My goal is to raise enough money to find a cure for brain cancer, which is the second most common cancer
in children. (当我15岁的时候，我和两个朋友一起创建了PPD。我的目标是筹集足够的资金来找到脑癌的
治疗方法，脑癌是儿童中第二常见的癌症。)”再根据划线处后面的brain cancer，可知是找到治疗方法消
除或者切除脑癌，所以推断removing意为“消除，移除，切除”。故答案为Cut off.
【59题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第五段“The efforts that we have made has truly helped cancer research. PPD has provided
start-up funding for scientific discoveries, such as “Tumor Paint”, which illuminates (照射) cancerous cells so that
doctors can remove them with amazing accuracy. The discovery appeared in Time Magazine. I was very proud to

些科学发现提供了启动资金，比如“肿瘤染色”，它能照亮癌细胞，这样医生就能以惊人的准确性切除它
们。这一发现刊登在《时代》杂志上。我很自豪能够资助这项拯救生命的技术的研究。)”由此可推断出，
作者创立的PPD为一些科学发现提供了资金，为这些研究提供了帮助，所以作者感到很自豪。故答案为
Because he found PPD, which has helped fund the research of life-saving technology.

that with devotion, it is possible to make a difference in the world. The determination that Pink Polka Dots set off in

我成为一名积极分子。我的经验告诉我，只要付出，就有可能改变世界。PPD带给我的决心影响了我生活
的方方面面，使我成为一名有竞争力的演讲者和一名敬业的志愿者。)”可知我们能从作者经历中学习到只
要付出，就有可能改变世界。故答案为 We have learned that it is possible to make a difference in the world
with devotion.

【答案】Dear friends,
I’m Li Jin, a student from Rui Si International High School. Today, it is my great privilege to be here to deliver my
speech. My topic is Feeling changes around, Telling Stories of China Aloud.
What I want to mention first is that more and more people, urban citizens in particular, are becoming more aware
of the importance of environmental protection. What’s more, it is obvious that traditional Chinese culture has gained
its popularity home and abroad. We can witness many people are learning Chinese poems, Chinese painting and
Chinese history and so on. Finally, with the expansion of high-speed railway construction, it is more and more
convenient for people to travel.

attract more foreigners to come to China.
