It was difficult not to see the 8-year-old boy run in and out of his house repeatedly. His repeated actions caused
the curiosity of his neighbor, William Dunn.
“He said he didn’t have a father,” says Dunn, now aged 58.” And I realized that there might be something I
could do to help him.”
That “something” was fishing, a hobby that Dunn’s father had once shared with him. He did it at once. After
fishing together several times, Dunn saw encouraging changes in the boy’s behavior.That was 16 years ago. Since then, Dunn has taken groups of fatherless kids fishing almost every weekend,
teaching them how to set up a fishing line and bring in a big catch.
“They’ve been through a lot, and their lives have been challenging,” Dunn explains. “But when they’re
fishing, all those pains disappear. On the boat, they laugh, smile, and make new friends. I knew I was onto
something special.”
Jayden, now 23, has become a fisherman and thanks Dunn for helping him grow up. He proudly mentions
catching a shark with Dunn’s help, “I hope he knows that I mean it when I say thank you.”
Another girl, 21-year-old Bella Smith, who is in a foster (抚养) program for young adults, notes that Dunn
pays special attention to self-respect and spiritual strength. “When I’m fishing, I can forget about the past and enjoy
something fun,” says Bella Smith. “Fishing has taught me that I can have a better life than what I had. Whenever I
feel down, I know it’s time to go fishing.”
“There’s nothing like feeling the first pull on the line and seeing a kid’s face light up with a smile,” Dunn adds.
“I feel lucky to witness that every weekend.”
26. What do we know about the 8-year-old boy?
A. He didn’t like fishing.
B. His father was a fisherman.
C. He was the first child Dunn taught to fish to help.
D. His repeated actions were to catch his father’s attention.
27. Why did Dunn take children fishing almost every weekend?
A. His father told him to do so.
B. He wanted to help them live on fishing.
C. Their fathers didn’t want them to learn fishing.
D. He believed fishing could help them in some way.
28. What does Bella Smith think Dunn gives importance to?
A. Personality development. B. Fishing skills.
C. Unhappy experiences. D. Wealthy life.
29. Which of the following can best describe Dunn?
A. Hard-working. B. Caring. C. Romantic. D. Strict.

For those whose hearts often go off beat, pacemakers (心脏起搏器) are life savers. By providing a small
electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly.
,
Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy and changing
the batteries requires operations. Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting
batteries. Different choices have been explored for a long time. Today, pacemakers with lithium (锂) batteries last
between 5 and 15 years.
Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong
University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity (电) by getting energy from inside the body.
They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work. Earlier
efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depend on piezoelectric materials (压电材
料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed
(弯曲). This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most
pacemakers require at least ten.
Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve matters by making their piezoelectric materials more
dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be
produced. They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig. It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as
expected.
Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen. But if it does, the days of pacemakers that
need battery changes through operations may not last long.30. According to the first two paragraphs, what is a problem with pacemakers?
.
A They often go off beat.
B. Their energy can be used up.
C. Operations often influence them.
D. They sometimes do harm to hearts.
31. From this passage, what do we know about piezoelectric materials?
A. They can be used to produce electricity.
.
B They can deform the heart to make it beat faster.
C. They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin.
D. They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests.
32. What does the word “dramatically” in the 4th paragraph most probably mean?
A. Comfortably. B. Safely. C. Greatly. D. Rapidly.
33. What is the best title for this article?
A. No Need to Use Pacemakers
B. The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials
C. The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations
D. Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers
【答案】30. B 31. A 32. C 33. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍中国科学家发现了一种改进心脏起搏器的新方法。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy,
and changing the batteries requires operations.”可知，心脏起搏器的问题是电池会耗尽电量，故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据“These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are
slightly deformed (弯曲).”可知，这些材料在轻微弯曲时，能够与跳动的心脏相连并产生电能，所以压电材
料可以被用来发电。故选A。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced”可知，因为变形程度越
大，产生的电量就越多；可推测出“dramatically”意为“显著地”，与“greatly”意思相近。故选C。
【33题详解】
最佳标题题。本文主要介绍中国科学家发现了一种改进心脏起搏器的新方法，D选项为最佳标题。故选
D。D
Creativity is hard to describe. On the one hand, we know people make creative breakthroughs when they have
persistence (坚持). On the other hand, most of us give up when we get stuck on a problem, believing that our
creativity gets weaker over time.
In fact, research shows that the longer we stick to a single problem or task, the more creative we get. One key
reason for this is the “series order effect (效应).” That is to say, each later creative idea is always better than the
previous (之前的) one.
Some business companies fail to understand this point. Silicon Valley (硅谷) prizes youth over experience,
believing that “people under 35 are those who make changes happen” while “people over 45 cannot create new
ideas.” But many businessmen succeed in their 40s and beyond because they have repeatedly failed. The creators of
the top highest-growth new companies are, in fact, around 45 years old.
Scientific talents show a similar feature. Scientists usually do their best work near age 40. Nobel Prize winners
and inventors also do much of their best work from their late 30s to mid-40s. Early success is great because it’s
unusual, but the best way to achieve a breakthrough is to get stuck and get unstuck over and over again.
The “series order effect” works not just at the personal level but also at the level of companies and markets.
Different from the belief in business that you have to be first, many of the most successful companies are those that
have gone through early failures. For example, Google succeeded after twenty-two failures. Success can come
when you have tried two, three, or even twenty-two times. Novelty (原创能力) is overvalued.
Persistence, however, is undervalued (低估). So, the next time you’re stuck, remember: “You’re more creative
than you think you are.”
34. Which of the examples goes against the writer’s point of view (观点)?
A. Silicon Valley.
B. The creators of the top highest-growth new companies.
C. Scientific talents like Nobel Prize winners.
D. Google.
35. What can we know about the “series order effect” from the 5th paragraph?
A. It doesn’t work for big businesses.
B. It proves novelty is unnecessary.
C. It shows the importance of a good beginning.
D. It explains why failure is common and acceptable.
36. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Creativity is hard to describe.B. Creativity becomes weaker as time goes.
C. Creativity is undervalued.
D. Creativity comes from persistence.
【答案】34. A 35. D 36. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要探讨了创造力的来源，指出创造力并非随着年龄增长而减弱，而是通过坚持和反复尝试
得以提升，并以企业、科学家和诺贝尔奖得主的例子佐证了这一观点。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Silicon Valley (硅谷) prizes youth over experience, believing that ‘people under 35 are those
who make changes happen’ while ‘people over 45 cannot create new ideas.’”可知，硅谷推崇年轻而非经验，认
为45岁以上的人缺乏创造力，这与作者强调“坚持和年龄无关”的观点相悖。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Different from the belief in business that you have to be first, many of the most successful
companies are those that have gone through early failures. For example, Google succeeded after twenty-two
failures. Success can come when you have tried two, three, or even twenty-two times.”可知，许多最成功的公司
都经历过早期的失败，例如谷歌尝试了22次失败才取得成功，由此可知该效应解释了失败是常见的和可接
受的。故选D。
【36题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“Persistence, however, is undervalued (低估). So, the next time you’re stuck, remember:
‘You’re more creative than you think you are.’”及全文可知，本文通过“系列顺序效应”、企业案例及科学家
年龄分析，强调“创造力源于坚持”这一核心观点。故选D。

五、阅读回答(共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分)
阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。
It was morning, and the new sun was shining gold across the gentle sea. A crowd of a thousand seagulls (海鸥)
were fighting for bits of food. But far away from these birds, Jonathan Seagull was practicing flying alone.
Most seagulls don’t trouble themselves to learn more than the simplest facts of flight—how to get food and
come back. For most seagulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this seagull, however, flight is much more
important than eating. More than anything else, Jonathan Seagull loved to fly.
This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make oneself popular with other birds. Even his parents were
unhappy.
“See here, Jonathan,” said his father not unkindly. “Winter isn’t far away. If you don’t study how to get food,
you might die of hunger in the future. Flying is all very well, but you can’t eat flight, you know.”
Jonathan understood what his father meant. For the next few days he tried to act like the other seagulls; he
really tried, screaming and fighting with other seagulls for fish and bread. But he couldn’t make it work.
“It’s all so worthless,” he thought, “I could be spending all this time learning to fly. There’s so much to learn”
It wasn’t long before Jonathan Seagull was off by himself again, far out at sea, hungry, happy, learning. The
subject was speed, and in a week’s practice he learned more about speed than the fastest seagull alive.

【答案】例文
I really don’t think it’s right for students to say dirty words. Dirty words are harmful to both the speakers and
listeners. Listeners will feel uncomfortable while speakers will surely leave a bad impression on others. Nobody is
willing to make friends with those impolite students.
To help dirty words speakers stop this bad habit, we have much to do. First of all, family members and
teachers can have a talk with them, making them realize their problem and the harm. What’s more, we can make
rules to help them. When they say dirty words, we remind them. When they use clean words, we praise them. Bydoing these, I am sure dirty words will be stopped!
