The noise of chattering mouths subsided (平息) as a teacher entered the classroom. “Good morning, class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, a fascinating name and an attractive person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow-capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off on me deeply and I have always taken account of her advice. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.
Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me. I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see a greater person like her in my life.
4. What does the second paragraph imply
A. The writer got around a lot when at senior high.
B. Mrs Monaf was a person with extraordinary knowledge.
C. The writer performed well at school.
D. Mrs Monaf enjoyed telling her students funny jokes in class.
5. What does the underlined word “rubbed off on” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Scratched off. B. Took on. C. Crossed off. D. Impacted on.
6. What can we learn from the passage
A. Mrs. Monaf was an optimistic person.

C. Another great person may appear in my life.
D. Praying for Mrs. Monaf made the writer tremble.
7. What would be the best title for the passage
A. My Eventful School Life
B. The Teacher-student Friendship
C. An Influence in My Life
D. Struggles Against Breast Cancer
C
Metin Sitti at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his colleagues have developed tiny robots called “microrollers” that can carry cancer drugs and selectively target human breast cancer cells. The team drew inspiration for the design of the robots from white blood cells in the human body, which can move along the walls of blood vessels (血管) against the direction of blood flow.
The microrollers are round and made from glass microparticles. One half of the robot was coated with a thin magnetic nanofilm (磁性纳米膜) made from nickel and gold. The other half was coated with the cancer drug doxorubicin as well as molecules that recognize cancer cells.
The team tested the robots using mouse blood and artificial channels lined with human endothelial cells—the kind of cells that line the inner walls of our blood vessels. The robots were exposed to a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissue. The microrollers selectively attached to the cancer cells and were activated using UV light to release the doxorubicin.
By applying magnetic fields, the team was able to control the movement of the microrollers, both with and against the flow of blood. The microrollers can reach a speed of up to 600 micrometers per second. “If you come to a spot where you need to take the right path and if you miss it, then you could go back and go to the right one,” says Setti.
In future, the researchers want to use other methods to start the drug release, such as heat or near-infrared light. They also plan to try making microrollers out of materials that would break down in the body over a few weeks or months.
The team hopes to test the microrollers in animals soon. “The rollers need to carry enough cancer drugs, which is why we need to have them in large numbers,” says Setti. “But since we can locally take drugs to the right target, we don’t need huge dosages (剂量).”
8. What can the microrollers be used for
A. Repairing blood cells. B. Delivering drugs.
C. Improving blood flow. D. Performing operations.
9. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the microrollers
A. Their shape. B. Their advantage.
C. Their design. D. Their application.
10. What can we learn about the robots from Paragraph 4
A. Their direction can be adjusted.
B. They might miss the target cells.
C. They might get stuck in the blood.
D. Their speed can change automatically.
11. What will the scientists probably do next
A. Put the microrollers to clinical use.
B. Sell the microrollers in large quantities.
C. Tear the microrollers down in the body.
D. Experiment with the microrollers further.
D
Over the past few years, as architects and city planners have confronted the tragedy of our planet losing species at rates never seen in human history, many have started designing more greenery into urban areas, creating tidy plots of grass with non-native flowers. But European designers Hougaard and Qual find it problematic. These green spaces don’t actually encourage wildlife to grow. To counter that, the designers created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds, and wildflowers to thrive, nurturing biodiversity in cities and rewilding urban spaces.
The natural world tends to appear messy, chaotic, with plants and animals interacting with each other. Bacteria, plants, and insects thrive in rotting logs. Birds and bees create homes in dead, hollow tree trunks. Weeds and flowers grow in wild patches of grass. People consider this as messy and dirty, trying to get rid of them in cities despite the fact that even though wildlife appears chaotic, there is often method in the madness.
Qual had this in mind when creating a large, leaf-shaped insect hotel to be placed on a flower bed. The structure contains wooden blocks with different size of holes for different insect species. Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle to provide a habitat for creatures. He also created planting containers without a base, which are placed right on top of the soil and filled with different materials to provide a place for insects, reptiles, and small animals to hide and find food. They can also interact with earthworms and other creatures in the soil underneath, creating a thriving ecosystem.
Will people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes, and nesting birds The designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And ultimately, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife.
12. What do Hougaard and Qaul notice about creating tidy grass plots in urban areas
A. It encourages the growth of wildlife.
B. It keeps a more balanced ecosystem.
C. It doesn’t increase species diversity.
D. It doesn’t damage the habitat of species.
13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2
A. To describe the peace of nature.
B. To describe the law of the jungle.
C. To show the need for rewilding urban areas.
D. To introduce the design basis of “outdoor furniture”.
14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The concept of order and messiness.
B. The goal to keep cities organized.
C. The plan to design more greenery.
D. The tragedy of losing species
15. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He is also a designer of insect hotels.
B. He is in support of Hougaard and Qual’s idea.
C. He is a strong advocate for a chaotic lifestyle.
D. He is against keeping animals caged.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项.
Critical reading is active reading. It involves more than just understanding what an author is saying. Critical reading involves questioning and evaluating what the author is saying and forming your own opinions. 16
● Consider the context of what is written.
You may be reading something that was written by an author from a different cultural context than yours. Or, you may be reading something written some time ago in a different time context than yours. In either case, you must recognize and take into account any differences between your values and attitudes and those represented by the author.
● 17
Don’t accept what is written at face value. Before accepting what is written, be certain that the author provides sufficient support for any statements made. Look for facts, examples, and statistics that provide support. Also, look to see if the author has integrated the work of authorities.
● Analyze assumptions made by the author.
Assumptions are whatever the author must believe is true in order to make statements. 18 This means you must read carefully in order to identify any assumptions. Once you identify an assumption, you must decide whether or not the assumption is valid.
● 19
In doing this, be certain that the sources are reliable. For example, Einstein is a reliable source if the author is writing about landmark achievements in physics. 20 Einstein is not a relevant source when the subject is poetry. Finally if the author is writing about a subject in its current state, be sure that the sources are current. For example, studies done by Einstein in the early 20th century may not be appropriate if the writer is discussing the current state of knowledge in physics.
A Evaluate the sources the author uses.
B. Question statements made by the author.
C. Also be certain that the sources are relevant.
D. Identify any possible prejudice the author has.
E. Here are the things you should do to be a critical reader.
F. The reasons why you should be a critical reader are as follows. ×
G. In many cases, the author’s assumptions are not directly stated.

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。
On a hot September afternoon, Peter and his friend Isabel were on their way to the library. When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin. There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city took the other trash cans away and that the remaining one never got emptied often.
As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns.
The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help.
Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up.
Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation. As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again.
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。
Paragraph 1: A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting.
