Their partnership is built on trust, but Ms. Britt said that it took time to develop.Ms.Britt said it took an unexpected storm for her to trust Ms. Cullen completely. “There was violent rain, my glasses were broken and we were walking together. I suddenly had to tell her I couldnt see anything, and I was going to have to completely trust her. From that time I knew it was going to work because she was so good about dealing with the special situation we both found ourselves in，” she said.Isabella Allen and her seeing eye dog Tatum are two new additions to the Achilles Brisbane. Ms. Allen kept active by rowing, running and cycling but found it difficult to keep going as her vision became worse. After nearly giving up completely, she worked up the courage to ask Achilles Brisbane to find someone to share a boat with her.Ms. Allen said the fear of not finding anyone to row with almost stopped her from reaching out to Achilles Brisbane. “But, they found people and matched me to them，” she said. “Its the best thing Ive ever done.”【解題導語】本文是一篇記敘文。殘疾人參加體育鍛煉與正常人是不同的，他們常常面臨各種挑戰(zhàn)，為此專門成立了一個鍛煉幫扶組織。文章講述了該組織幫扶的兩個具體事例。1What does Paragraph 1 try to show?AThe danger of walking on a busy road.BThe difficulty the disabled athletes face.CThe exercise people do to keep fit.DThe necessity of building roads for the blind.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“but imagine facing the task of doing it all without being able to see or hear.

Walter Dean Myers was the author of more than 100 books for children and young adults and received many top awards.The prolific author was loved for his vivid description of the lives of African American children, and for writing books for young people that covered different subjects. “Myers has written about all those subjects with deep understanding and a hardwon, qualified sense of hope，” said Leonard S. Marcus in 2008.He was born in 1937 and was adopted by Florence Dean and Herbert after his mother died while giving birth to his younger sister. They loved him very much and his mother read to him from a very young age. Reading pushed him to discover worlds beyond his landscape.He began writing at an early age. He wrote well in high school and an English teacher recognized this and advised him to keep on writing no matter what happened to him. “Its what you do，” she said.He dropped out of high school at 17 and joined the army. After finishing his service, he entered a dark period in his life. Myers began writing at night to pull himself through that miserable time.In an essay published in The New York Times earlier this year, Myers described how a short story by James Arthur Baldwin helped change the course of his life. “I didnt love the story, but I was lifted by it，” he wrote, “for it took place in Harlem, and it was a story concerned with black people like those I knew. By humanizing the people who were like me, Baldwins story also humanized me. The story gave me a permission that I didnt know I needed, the permission to write about my own landscape, my own map.”“I write books for the troubled boy I once was，” he wrote, “and for the boy who lives within me still.”【解題導語】本文是一篇記敘文，主要介紹了美國著名作家Walter Dean Myers的生平。5What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?AHow popular Myers was.BHow Myers became successful.CWhat makes Myers works popular.DWhat people think of Myers works.C解析：段落大意題。通讀該段可知，該段首句“The prolific author.covered different subjects.”為該段主題句，結合該段其他內(nèi)容可知，這位多產(chǎn)的作家因其對非裔美國兒童生活的生動描述，以及為年輕人寫的涉及不同話題的書籍而深受喜愛。由此可知，該段主要介紹了他的作品受歡迎的原因，故C項正確。6Who discovered Myers writing talent?AJames Arthur Baldwin.BHis mother.CLeonard S.

Research shows its a complex question and that asking whether males or females are happier isnt really that helpful, because basically, happiness is different for women and men.Womens happiness has been declining for the past 30 years, according to recent statistics. And research shows that women are twice as likely to experience depression compared with men. Gender(性別) differences in depression are well confirmed and studies have found that biological, psychological and social factors contribute to the difference.Early studies on gender and happiness found men and women were socialized to express different feelings. Women are more likely to express happiness, warmth and fear, which help with social bonding and appear more consistent with the traditional role as a primary caregiver, while men display more anger, pride and disrespect, which are more consistent with a protector and provider role.Recent research suggests that these differences are not just socially, but also genetically related. Studies have looked into these findings further and discovered that females use more areas of the brain containing mirror neurons(鏡像神經(jīng)元) than males when they process feelings. Mirror neurons allow us to experience the world from other peoples view, to understand their actions and intentions. This may explain why women can experience deeper sadness. Women tend to experience more negative feelings, such as more guilt, shame and to a lesser degree, embarrassment.Psychologically it seems men and women differ in the way they process and express feelings. With the exception of anger, women experience feelings more strongly and share their feelings more openly with others. Studies have found in particular that women express more appreciationwhich has been linked to greater happiness. This supports the theory that womens happiness is more dependent on relationships than mens.【解題導語】本文從社會、生理和心理三個方面介紹了男性和女性在幸福感上的差異。1Which feeling are men more likely to show compared with women?AWarmth.

Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and we have to develop them all on our own，” said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has lots of interdependence(互相依賴) of the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything its connected to，” said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, offboard power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a builtin power source, so that it might someday perform datagathering work at rescue sites, in farmers fields or on the battlefield. “Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insectscale. Yet, the power, sensing and computat
