• 2．Jack Andraka was 15 when he came up with an idea for a new way to test for pancreatic （胰腺） cancer.When Andraka was 14，a family friend died of the disease，and this affected him deeply.This kind of cancer is particularly serious because there is no test you can have done to find it in the early stages.By the time standard tests determine you have the disease，it is often too late.Realizing that this was the case，Andraka decided to try to develop a test that might catch problems at the earliest stages.
     The road ahead looked difficult for Andraka.He was still a high school student，and he wanted to create something that no one else had done.But Andraka read endlessly about the disease，wrote a proposal for his idea，and sent it out to 200 cancer researchers.Only one professor，Dr.Anirban Maitra，responded positively.Dr.Maitra agreed to work with Andraka on his idea，giving him guidance and access to a laboratory.
     The next big reward for Andraka's perseverance was winning the grand prize at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.This great award is given to young innovators who have developed a world-changing idea.Developing the test is likely to take many years，but Andraka hopes the test will eventually improve people's lives and maybe save them.
     Jack Andraka is not alone as a young innovator.After all，there were 1，499 other contestants for the Intel award，and all of them had ground-breaking ideas.For Andraka，having a family that loves science and encourages creative thinking gave him an advantage.But the key for Andraka is that reading，research，and discovery are just plain fun，and the chance to improve the world around him in the process makes it even better.
  
  （1）Why did Andraka decide to develop a test for pancreatic cancer？

  
  A．His friend's encouragement.
  B．An upsetting experience.
  C．His extensive reading.
  D．An important test.
  （2）What difficulty did Andraka meet at the beginning of his research？

  
  A．Lack of positive replies from experts.
  B．Heavy pressure from his schoolwork.
  C．Little access to research equipment.
  D．Great need of money to develop a test.
  （3）Which of the following leads to Andraka's award winning？

  
  A．The competition with other contestants.
  B．His determination to improve the world.
  C．The support from his family.
  D．His passion for discovery.
  （4）What can we learn from Andraka's story？

  
  A．Practice makes perfect.
  B．Hard work leads to success.
  C．One good turn deserves another.
  D．Failure is the mother of success.

• 3．Anyone wanting to help the poor may like this idea-recycling aluminum cans in a different way，which is apparently also good for the environment.So you're actually killing two birds with one stone.It goes without saying that recycling aluminum cans can save resources，energy，time and money.People usually save and place aluminum cans in the dustbins，which are then collected and taken away by cleaners，who will finally recycle them in the recycling center.But if you save the aluminum cans，and skip the cleaners，you can save these same cans for something more important-helping the poor.In other words，by doing less，you are giving the environmental cause some new significance.
     Here is how to put this idea into action.Take your aluminum cans and place them in a plastic bag.For the dirty ones，rinse them out first.Store the bag of clean aluminum cans.Once you collect about one hundred cans or more，take the cans to the recycle center yourself.There are about eighteen aluminum cans in a pound.And you can receive three to four dollars for one hundred cans.Donate your three to four dollars to the poor or any charity organization of your choice.
     By now，you may wonder if your few dollars have really made a difference to the poor.Consider this：Is there any individual or any specific event that is great enough to change the world or decide the direction that history takes？The answer is probably no.What if there were a lot of people who would do the same thing？History shows nothing but the collective will of the whole community.And that will surely be powerful enough to make a bigger difference.
     Go to your community or your school and spread your idea.Share your idea and save your aluminum cans with other people.One hundred people can speak louder than one.And the money you make by saving cans can be multiplied by one hundred times.And if more people join in the cause around the world，an even larger difference can be made，and more people in need will enjoy the benefits.
  
  （1）What's special about the new idea？

  
  A．It makes profits.
  B．It saves resources.
  C．It benefits the poor.
  D．It involves cleaners.
  （2）What can we infer from paragraph 2？

  
  A．Dirty cans do not sell well.
  B．You decide who receives the money.
  C．A hundred cans weigh about 3 pounds.
  D．The recycle center is conveniently located.
  （3）What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 probably refer to？

  
  A．A great individual or event.
  B．The direction history takes.
  C．The collective will of people.
  D．The neighbourhood you live in.
  （4）Which of the following does the writer want to tell us？

  
  A．Many hands make light work.
  B．Kill two birds with one stone.
  C．Don't put the cart before the horse.
  D．No man can do two things at once.

第二节（满分25分）

• 9．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 freezing morning of December，two police officers were patrolling the streets.Suddenly，the walkie-talkie （对讲机） on Alan，one of the officers，rang. "The cake shop near the City Museum has reported a burglary （窃案）.Please rush to the scene immediately" ，said the electronic voice.
      The two policemen quickly arrived at the shop，only to find that the scene showed no sign of crimes at all.Curiously，they checked the monitor and found that a thin woman broke open the window and climbed into the store at 5：20 a.m.Instead of searching around，she walked straight into the storage room，stole cheese，chocolate，butter and other ingredients for a cake，and then ran away down the road.
      Both policemen felt quite confused about her behavior.One of the shop assistants identified the thief as Clara，a single mother who lived nearby.She has an eight-year-old boy to take care of and lives in poverty.
      Moments later，the two officers arrived at Clara's house.Bob，another officer，pulled out a gun and was about to break in.But Alan told him to put the gun away and knocked gently.
      The door opened and out came a very thin woman.From the outline of her figure，Alan recognized that she was exactly the thief.The woman，Clara，immediately understood the situation when she saw the two policemen.She buried her face in her hands and sat down on the floor.
      At that very moment，a child's voice broke the silence， "Mom，is anyone coming for my birthday？Invite them in，please."
      After hearing the boy's words，Clara stood up and begged in a low voice，"Officer，I did steal those things，but there's nothing else I could do.Iťs my baby's birthday，and I've got neither job nor money.Please don't take those things away.I've just used them to make him a cake."
  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。
      Looking into the woman's teary eyes，Alan understood and walked into the house._________
      Bob nodded thoughtfully and asked， "What about the things she stole？"________
