A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries ” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”
She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same.” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”
4. Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation
A. To share her home — grown fruit. B. To show hardship her parents faced.
C. To better illustrate her speech’s topic. D. To explain the importance of motivators.
5. What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success
A. Help from her teacher. B. Her life experience.
C. Her native culture. D. Support from her parents.
6. How did Brenda feel about the viewers’ response online
A. Proud. B. Sympathetic. C. Moved. D. Embarrassed.
7. What did Brenda convey to the young
A. Life is what you make it. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. Everyone deserves a good life story. D. Resources in hand decide your future.

Are you patient Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it’s becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.
British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins (企鵝) from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag (加標簽于) photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies (群). They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, “citizen scientists” marked more images than the research team did in five years.
Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, “When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do.”
The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. Volunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.
According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, “We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers.”
But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation Dr. Simpson isn’t worried. “We get lots of people looking at the same things, ”he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there’s no fooling the scientists.
And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every “citizen scientist” will be credited.
8. According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists
A. An engineer who works in a company.
B. A university student who likes science.
C. A businessman who invests in a new project.
D. A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.
9. What is a volunteer required to do
A. Publish his observation data by himself.
B. Observe pictures and record his observation.
C. Discuss his observation with other volunteers.
D. Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.
10. How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation
A. By working with volunteers. B. By using their own data.
C. By identifying pictures and photos. D. By going through a peer review.
11 What’s Dr. Simpson’s attitude towards the volunteers’ observation
A. Objective B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.

Five years ago, French navy officer Jér me Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jiguet from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting-edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (標簽) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海嘯). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龍卷風) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
12. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Strange. B. Amazing. C. Dangerous. D. Frequent.
13. What is the function of the tags
A. Tracking natural disasters. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Reporting the birds’ situations. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
14. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To prove an assumption. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters
B. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters
C. How Does a Warning System Function
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research

Awards lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large, talented classes. But a shift in educational policies (政策), with an emphasis on academics, had reduced my choir to a mere 32 students. My lead singers had graduated or been forced to drop music classes, leaving me with inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music and could sing only a simple melody (曲子).
This year’s singing contest would be held in seven pared to other school choirs, the Madison choir with 75 members, King School with 125 students and etc., ours was little in size.
One day, a student asked eagerly, “What will we be singing for contest this year ”
I feared this moment. “Maybe we’ll skip the contest,” I suggested.
“No! We can make it!” the kids screamed
“I’ll have to think about it,” I said, hoping their enthusiasm would die off soon.
But that didn’t happen. Every day they begged and insisted. However, I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough as I had to protect their self-esteem (自尊). My efforts to discourage their eagerness, by showing them a difficult piece of music from the contest list, simply ended with, “It’s okay, Mrs. Pliszka, we’ll get it.”
I struggled to make a decision. If I destroyed their hope, would I destroy their spirit I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and I enjoyed a challenge. But I wasn’t a miracle (奇跡) worker. So I considered this dilemma.
Finally, one morning I stomped into class. “From now on, be in your seats with your music folders on the desk when the bell rings, and sit at attention, ready for warm-ups the instant I’m ready to begin. When I’m working with one section, there will be no talking from the others. You will listen, and you will learn. You will work harder. If all these rules are obeyed, we will be entering the contest. To achieve our big dream, …”
The rest of my sentence was lost in shouts of delight and applause. I was certain they would fail to keep this promise, and no one would have to be embarrassed.

A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries ” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”
She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I’m motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same.” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”
4. Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation
A. To share her home — grown fruit. B. To show hardship her parents faced.
C. To better illustrate her speech’s topic. D. To explain the importance of motivators.
5. What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success
A. Help from her teacher. B. Her life experience.
C. Her native culture. D. Support from her parents.
6. How did Brenda feel about the viewers’ response online

Are you patient Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it’s becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.
British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins (企鵝) from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag (加標簽于) photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies (群). They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, “citizen scientists” marked more images than the research team did in five years.
Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, “When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do.”
The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. Volunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.
According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, “We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers.”
But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation Dr. Simpson isn’t worried. “We get lots of people looking at the same things, ”he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there’s no fooling the scientists.
And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every “citizen scientist” will be credited.
8. According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists
A. An engineer who works in a company.
B. A university student who likes science.
C. A businessman who invests in a new project.
D. A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.
9. What is a volunteer required to do
A. Publish his observation data by himself.
B. Observe pictures and record his observation.
C. Discuss his observation with other volunteers.
D. Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.
10. How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation
A. By working with volunteers. B. By using their own data.
C. By identifying pictures and photos. D. By going through a peer review.
11. What’s Dr. Simpson’s attitude towards the volunteers’ observation
A. Objective B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. B

Five years ago, French navy officer Jér me Chardon was listening to a radio program about the journey of the bar-tailed godwit, a bird that migrates 14,000 kilometers between New Zealand and Alaska. Chardon understood how treacherous the journey would be, as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities. Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured. Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.
This past January, a team from France’s National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) began experiments designed to test Chardon’s idea. Researchers with a project led by Frédéric Jiguet from NMNH equipped 56 birds of five species with cutting-edge animal tracking technology. The team members were ferried to remote islands in French Polynesia, where they attached tags (標簽) using tracking technology. These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.
The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海嘯). In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龍卷風) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.
The team plans on tagging hundreds more birds across the Pacific to prepare for a potential tsunami. “I think if there’s one wave that spreads across islands, we can get data from different species at different locations,” says Jiguet. “That will say it’s worth continuing to tag and to develop local systems to better analyze this. There are chances that we will develop a bird-based tsunami early warning system.”
12. Which of the following best explains the word “treacherous” underlined in paragraph 1
A. Strange. B. Amazing. C. Dangerous. D. Frequent.
13. What is the function of the tags
A. Tracking natural disasters. B. Distinguishing bird species.
C. Reporting the birds’ situations. D. Guiding researchers to islands.
14. Why is the 2014 study mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To prove an assumption. B. To clarify a concept.
C. To present a new topic. D. To make comparisons.
15. What might be the best title for the text
A. How Can Birds Avoid Natural Disasters
B. Can Birds Warn Us of Natural Disasters
C. How Does a Warning System Function
D. Can Birds Play a Role in Human Research
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。鳥類能提前感應到即將來臨的自然災害嗎？針對此問題，法國國家自然歷史博物館的一個團隊正在開展一項研究，這個研究有望利用鳥類開發自然災害預警系統。
【12題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據畫線詞后“as heavy storms frequently hit Pacific island communities(因為強風暴經常襲擊太平洋島嶼社區)”和下文中的“Yet, somehow, bar-tailed godwits routinely pass through the area uninjured.(然而，不知何故，斑尾塍鷸經常毫發無損地穿過這片區域。)”可知，強風暴襲擊是非常危險的情況，但是斑尾塍鷸卻能不受傷害地穿過，由此可推測出，鳥的這段旅程非常危險，treacherous意為“危險的”，意思與dangerous 的意思最為接近。故選C項。
【13題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第二段中的“These tags sent the birds’ locations to the International Space Station, which bounced the data back to scientists on Earth who could then follow the birds — waiting to see how the birds responded to natural disasters.(這些標簽將這些鳥的位置發送給國際空間站，國際空間站將數據反饋給地球上的科學家，然后他們可以跟蹤這些鳥，等待觀察這些鳥對自然災害的反應。)”可知，研究人員使用的標簽會報告被追蹤的鳥的位置。故選C項。
14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段第一句“The project is focusing on birds’ ability to hear infrasound, the low-frequency sound humans cannot hear but that the researchers believe is the most likely signal birds would use to sense storms and tsunamis (海嘯).(該項目的重點是鳥類聽到次聲的能力，這是人類聽不到的低頻聲音，但研究人員認為這是鳥類最有可能用來感知風暴和海嘯的信號。)”可知，第三段首先提出研究人員認為鳥類可能會利用次聲來感知風暴和海嘯的信號，然后“In a 2014 study, scientists tracking a kind of golden-winged birds in the central and southeastern America found that the birds flew up to 1,500 kilometers to escape from an outbreak of tornadoes (龍卷風) that killed 35 people. The birds fled at least 24 hours before any extreme weather hit, leaving the scientists to believe that they had heard the storm system from more than 400 kilometers away.(在2014年的一項研究中，科學家追蹤了美國中部和東南部的一種金翼鳥，發現這些鳥飛了1500公里，逃離了導致35人死亡的龍卷風。這些鳥在任何極端天氣襲擊前至少24小時逃離，這讓科學家們相信他們在400多公里外聽到了風暴系統的聲音。)”講述了2014年的研究發現，由此可推測出，文中提到2014年的一個研究是為了證明研究人員的猜想。故選A項。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是文章第一段中的“Chardon wondered whether learning how birds traveled could help coastal communities avoid natural disasters.(Chardon想知道了解鳥類如何遷徙是否可以幫助沿海社區避免自然災害。)”可知，本文主要在探究鳥類是否能在自然災害來臨之前給予我們一些警示。B項“鳥類能警告我們自然災害嗎？”適合作本文標題。故選B項。

考查形容詞。句意： Jeff Permar在結束奧蘭多之旅后回到特拉華州米德爾敦的家，他看到自己珍貴的有機花園變得更糟，感到很惱火。根據前文he was 可知，此處應用其以ed結尾的形容詞作表語，修飾人。故填annoyed。
【42題詳解】
考查主語從句。句意：它捕捉到的東西令他驚訝和著迷，因為在那里，一只土撥鼠正在咀嚼著黃瓜。此處引導主語從句，從句中缺少賓語，應用連接代詞what引導，意為“……的事物”。句首字母大寫，故填What。

【46題詳解】
考查動詞時態。句意：自從Chunk開始訪問花園以來，Chunk已經成為了Perma社交媒體上的明星。根據時間狀語Since he began visiting the garden可知，此處應用現在完成時，表示過去的動作對現在的影響。主謂一致，故填has become。

52. 閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節進行續寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。
Awards lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large, talented classes. But a shift in educational policies (政策), with an emphasis on academics, had reduced my choir to a mere 32 students. My lead singers had graduated or been forced to drop music classes, leaving me with inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music and could sing only a simple melody (曲子).
This year’s singing contest would be held in seven pared to other school choirs, the Madison choir with 75 members, King School with 125 students and etc., ours was little in size.
One day, a student asked eagerly, “What will we be singing for contest this year ”
I feared this moment. “Maybe we’ll skip the contest,” I suggested.
“No! We can make it!” the kids screamed.
“I’ll have to think about it,” I said, hoping their enthusiasm would die off soon.
But that didn’t happen. Every day they begged and insisted. However I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough as I had to protect their self-esteem (自尊). My efforts to discourage their eagerness, by showing them a difficult piece of music from the contest list, simply ended with, “It’s okay, Mrs. Pliszka, we’ll get it.”
I struggled to make a decision. If I destroyed their hope, would I destroy their spirit I wasn’t afraid of hard work, and I enjoyed a challenge. But I wasn’t a miracle (奇跡) worker. So I considered this dilemma.
Finally, one morning I stomped into class. “From now on, be in your seats with your music folders on the desk when the bell rings, and sit at attention, ready for warm-ups the instant I’m ready to begin. When I’m working with one section, there will be no talking from the others. You will listen, and you will learn. You will work harder. If all these rules are obeyed, we will be entering the contest. To achieve our big dream, …”
The rest of my sentence was lost in shouts of delight and applause. I was certain they would fail to keep this promise, and no one would have to be embarrassed.

【答案】參考范文1
As the weeks progressed, the kids remained focused. They followed the rules with no complaints and seemed to thrive on the discipline demanded of them. Each morning they sat attention, ready for warm-ups, learned, practiced, rehearsed and went over and over the songs to be sung in the contest. I was amazed at the driving force that kept pushing them on. The courage they had shown from day one overwhelmed me, changing something within myself. No more did I hesitate, but make every effort to teach them. With the passage of time, the kids were making steady and remarkable improvements, which was beyond my expectations. (90w)
When the contest day finally arrived, the kids felt ready to take on the world! They mounted the stairs, smiles of confidence spreading on their faces. Their singing sounded good. The entire audience broke into loud applause the instant they finished their songs. My heart swelled with pride for this little group. After what seemed a century, the results were posted. There was our name at the very top! All around kids were squealing and embracing. Warm tears wet my cheeks. And I was surrounded by kids who had a dream—kids who refused to give up—kids who taught me to never doubt the possibility of success for any student or any class ever again. (95w)
