Classes at Sebastian Valley Middle School simply start too early in the morning. Getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night is almost impossible when classes begin at 7:30 am. In order to shower, dress, get organized, eat a quick breakfast, and meet the school bus by 6:45, I would have to get up at 5:45. Early in the morning, students are too sleepy to learn well. Without enough sleep, young people cannot think clearly or enjoy learning. According to a report called “Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?” from Sebastian Valley Times, “Sleepiness disturbs concentration, reduces short-term memory, and causes bad feelings.” Researchers have learned that teens normally fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Teens who stay up late at night have trouble getting up early in the morning. Studies show that some schools have already adjusted school hours to better match the teen sleep cycle (周期); as a result, students in these schools are learning better on the new schedule (时间表). Some of my classmates argue that starting school an hour later will prevent them from taking part in after-school athletic programs. A solution would be to carry out these programs before school instead of after school. The students who are involved in sports and clubs would continue to arrive at the usual time. The rest of the student body could get a little more sleep and arrive an hour later. Teens usually have a later sleep cycle, and learn and behave better when rested. So I would like to suggest that we have a meeting to discuss the problem and listen to all the students voice. Thank you for considering this request!Tom Sullivan, Grade 821. In Toms opinion, classes should begin at _.A. 6:45 B. 7:30C. 8:00 D. 8:3022. A report from Sebastian Valley Times was mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show _.A. the popularity of Toms schoolB. the disadvantages of lacking sleepC. the importance of athletic programsD. the characteristics of the teen sleep cycle23. Which of the following does Tom probably agree with?A. Sleep is food for the brain.B. Books should be few but good.C. Challenge is needed for success.D. Early to bed makes a man healthy.24. Tom wrote the letter mainly to _. A. put forward a suggestionB. send his congratulations C. make an apologyD. express thanksB Mary Frye enjoyed writing poetry very much. She wasnt interested in publishing her poems, and once in a while she passed one on to her friends. “I dont think I have any great talent,” she said. But many people would disagree. One of her poems, especially, has given hope and comfort (安慰) to people for over 50 years. When one of her friends lost someone close, Mary Frye wrote a poem, which seemed to spring from her heart, and gave it to the sad woman. That poem was later passed on to others, who, in turn, passed it on until it became an American classic. “If it helps one person through a hard time, I am satisfied,” said Mary, who received no pay for her work. It has been used at countless funerals, translated and used in foreign lands. Here is her original text, which has moved so many for so long: Do not stand at my grave and weep, / I am not there, I do not sleep. / I am in a thousand winds that blow, / I am the softly falling snow. / I am the gentle showers of rain, / I am the fields of ripening grain (谷物). / I am in the morning hush (寂静), / I am in the graceful rush. / Of beautiful birds in circling flight, / I am the starshine of the night. / I am in the flowers that bloom (盛开), / I am in a quiet room. / I am in the birds that sing, / I am in each lovely thing. / Do not stand at my grave and cry, / I am not there. I do not die. How many people are finding strength and comfort from a poem by a woman who always said she had no talent? And what if she had kept her poetry to herself? Dont be afraid to use the talents you do have; it has been well advised. The woods would be very silent if only the birds with the sweetest songs were heard.25. According to the text, Mary Frye _. A. translated many foreign poemsB. had many of her poems publishedC. chose to make a living by writing poemsD. would share her poems with others sometimes26. Which of the following can best describe Mary Frye?A. Brave and determined.B. Modest and talented.C. Caring and honest.D. Strict and patient.27. What does the underlined word “I” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The dead one. B. The living one.C. The sad woman. D. Mary Frye. 28. What does the last sentence of the text imply?A. Birds like to show off their talents in the woods.B. Few poems can give comfort like Mary Fryes.C. We should not be too shy to show our talents.D. The woods would be very silent without birds.C In 1985, a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida. Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. And they are continuing to move south. Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. So how did they end up in the Atlantic? Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea. Little did they know the trouble their actions would cause. The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish. Their venomous spines (毒刺) protect them from sharks and other fish. Female lionfish can spawn (产卵) every few days, producing as many as 2 million eggs per year. Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food. But overfishing has removed many of these large fish. As a result, the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more than three times the size of their cousins in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. “They eat mostly fish,” says Stephanie Green, a scientist at Oregon State University. All that eating has caused great changes. Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere, many other fish, which are small enough for them to eat, disappear. Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats. For example, parrotfish eat certain plants off corals (珊瑚), which allows corals to grow better. But they are now disappearing due to lionfish. Scientists say lionfish are here to stay. But there are ways to deal with the problem. The key, says Green, is to keep lionfish numbers in check. In Florida, divers can now go through a special training program and get certified (授予合格证书) to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed. And a number of restaurants have added the fish to the menu. “Its going to be a long-term battle, but the missing sea species will come back someday,” says Green.29. What can we learn about lionfish?A. Its population is growing very quickly.B. All of them are almost the same size.C. They eat other big fish and even sharks.D. Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic.30. Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfishs _.A. loneliness B. carelessnessC. weakness D. harmfulness31. What is Stephanie Greens attitude towards the battle against lionfish?A. She doubts it.B. She is hopeful of it.C. She is worried about it.D. She thinks it is against the law.D Google, the leading company in self-driving technology, has completely renewed its development program. Previously, Google had cars built by other companies, but now it will start building its own cars. For the past four years, Googles technicians had been working on a way to return control to the human drivers steering wheel (方向盘) in a dangerous situation. However, Google now says that the switch from automation to human control will not be possible anytime soon. Googles heads realized that relying on a human that may be reading, working, or sleeping to take over in an emergency (紧急情况) wouldnt work. So whats the solution? Google has started to build a series of 100 experimental electric cars that look like a Smart car or Fiat 500. The only difference? There is no steering wheel, gas pedal (油门) and brake (刹车). The only things a human passenger controls are a red “e-stop” button for panic stops and a start button. The cars face is designed to make it seem friendly and help people accept self-driving technology. Google employees had taken part in a long experiment, in which they used self-driving vehicles to work every day. There were no crashes. This is a major change from competing self-driving projects. Mercedes Benz, BMW and Volvo have all developed some self-driving cars, but none completely eliminate the driver. For example, the Mercedes Benz cars will stop if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds. Google will limit its early cars to a top speed of 25 miles per hour for safety reasons. These cars are designed to drive in or around cities, not on highways. However, a Google engineer commented that once their safety has been proven, there will be no limit to the speed. In the near future, Googles self-driving cars may make our roads much safer, and of course drivers may feel more relaxed on the way.32. Unlike a Smart car, Googles electric cars _.A. can run not only on land but also under waterB. just offer two control buttons for a passengerC. are equipped with an unusual steering wheelD. are environmentally friendly and run faster 33. The underlined word “eliminate” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “_”.A. train B. employC. remove D. frighten34. We can infer from the text that Google _.A. may bring about a big change in transportB. will change the top speed of cars completelyC. has made great progress in improving road safetyD. gives more attention to the experiences of drivers35. What would be the best title for the text?A. The future of Google SearchB. Crash testing & highway safetyC. How do self-driving cars work?D. Driverless cars: closer to reality第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Chi Chi Rodriguez Like many boys in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, Juan Rodriguez Jr. loved to play baseball. He dreamed about playing professional ball like his hero, Chi Chi Flores. 36 Gradually his friends nicknamed him “Chi Chi”. 37 At the age of seven, he drove oxen (牛) in the fields, earning a dollar a day. His father, Juan Sr., gave him another nickname “El Millonario” (the Millionaire) because his young son always looked for better ways to make money. Chi Chi soon discovered that being a caddy (球童) at the local golf course paid more than working in the fields. When Chi Chi wasnt carrying bags, he learned to play golf. He changed his mind about being a baseball player. 38 Juan Sr. didnt encourage his sons dream. “Golf is for rich people!” he would say. Chi Chi respected his father, but he continued to play golf. Golf was fun, but it wasnt a paying job. 39 Fortunately for Chi Chi, the army had a golf team and he became the best player there. After leaving the army, he got a job at a golf course and spent hours perfecting his game. His determination and skill finally enabled him to join the Professional Golf Association (PGA). Soon Chi Chi earned the nickname his father had given him. 40 He wanted to help those children who were poor or in trouble, so he started the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation teaching them job and life skills. A. At the age of 19, Chi Chi joined the army.B. Chi Chi always loved to make people laugh.C. But money was not enough to make Chi Chi happy.D. Now he dreamed of becoming a professional golf player.E. Soon Chi Chi was playing better than the men he caddied for.F. When Chi Chi was a young boy, he worked hard to earn money.G. “I am Chi Chi Flores!” Juan Rodriguez Jr. often shouted like that.第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Think about a time you went someplace that you had never been before. It seemed as if it was very 41 and it took a really long time to get there. Then you noticed that the 42 trip did not seem to take nearly as long, 43 it was exactly the same distance. Scientists have studied these common observations. They have come to the 44 that our feeling of how time passes is sometimes based on the 45 of information we are dealing with. The more information we are getting, the more slowly time seems to pass. On the way to a 46 place, we are faced with unfamiliar sights, 47 , or even smells. We may be reading directions, 48 landmarks, or trying to find a(n) 49 road sign. We are repeatedly processing the information we are 50 . There may be others in the car asking, “Are we there yet?” In fact, the 51 experiences the same things as the passengers. On the return trip, we are somewhat familiar with the 52 . Now much of the information is not 53 to us. Our brain now processes the information more 54 . We dont have to take notice of a lot of what we see and hear. We know what to 55 and we screen out the rest. The process could be 56 to the first and second days of school. On the first day 57 is new and different and time seems to pass slowly. On the second day, you know what to 58 , and your brain spends less time processing new information. 59 , the second day of school usually seems to go forward at a more rapid pace. Thus, in a sense, time 60 when our surroundings become more familiar.41. A. far B. long C. fast D. deep42. A. boat B. field C. school D. return43. A. as if B. so that C. even though
