A Chinese reporter spoke with Fu after the semi-finals.The reporter told her that she swam the race under 59 seconds.This seemed to shock Fu."58.95?"Fu said with excitement."I was really fast!She told the reporter that she used"mystical powers"in her swim.
Her shock,joy and honesty won her many friends around the world.People began making GIFs of her excited facial expressions.Those images spread quickly.Fu's fame only grew on August 9,when she competed in the 100-meler backstroke finals.She beat her semi-final time.She swam the race in 58.76seconds.It was fast enough to earn her a share of the bronze medal.She tied for third place with Kylie Masse of Canada.
Her comments after the race won Fu even more followers in China and around the world.At first,the swimmer said she did not think she won a medal.She said she was still pleased with her time because she beat the Asian record.
A reporter told her she was just 0.01seconds behind the silver winner.Fu said she couldn't reach second place because her"arms are too short."Fu started to say even though she"did not win a medal…"when the reporter corrected her."But you got a medal.You are third,"the reporter said."Huh?"she said.Fu looked around in shock."I didn't know!"She then said,"Well,then I think that's not bad at all!"
Her reaction and personality have made Fu Yuanhui one of China's-and the world's favorite Olympians.

分析 本文是傅园慧奥运会上再获得铜牌后的记者对她的采访记录,让全世界的人们认识一个幽默而有能力的运动员.

解答 21.C.推理判断题.根据句子"58.95?"Fu said with excitement."I was really fast!"58.95?"傅兴奋地说."我真的很快.At first,the swimmer said she did not think she won a medal起初,游泳运动员说她认为自己没有赢得奖牌.由此可以推断因为不认为自己会游得那么快,所以感到惊讶.故答案选C.
22.B 猜测词义题.当傅园慧得知自己的成绩之后,她很震惊,她告诉记者她用了mystical的力量,little很少的,terrible可怕的,soft柔软的;magic魔力的,可见她取得好的成绩用的应该是一种魔力,所以答案选B.
23.A 推理判断题.根据句子 A reporter told her she was just 0.01seconds behind the silver winner.Fu said she couldn't reach second place because her"arms are too short.一名记者告诉她,她只落后银牌得主0.01秒,傅说她不能达到第二名,因为她的胳膊太短了.可见傅园慧是一个幽默的游泳运动员,所以答案选A.

10.With rapid advances in medical science,cloning is slowly but surely looking like it could be in our near future.However,is it really an option that should be considered as a way to extend human life?
Reproductive cloning may help human families gain children,but there's also a benefit for the animal world.It brings hope to people eager for children but unable to have their own or adopt.It can also bring about the recreation of species that have long since died,allowing scientists to fully study the species as a living creature instead of simply looking at images or bones.
Many believe that cloning can be used to replace failing organs.This will reduce the waiting list for organ donations and allow more people to be saved.Not only that,but because the organ is,in fact,your own organ,there would be less chance of rejection.
Cloning could prove helpful in genetic research.Using cloning technologies,genetic researchers would have a better understanding of the composition of genes and the effects of genetic constituents(成分)on human characters.There's also the possibility of changing genetic constituents in cloned humans,and cloning could help fight genetic diseases.
While the cloning of body organs can help extend human life,it could also cause a lot of malpractice(玩忽职守).Along with the ability to clone desired characters,there could be the possibility of people deliberately reproducing undesired characters.This could lead to a rise in malpractices within society.
Cloning involves a process of creating identical genes.As such,there would be a lack of diversity in humankind.Scientists believe this lack of diversity will lower the human race's ability to adapt.
Whatever your view on cloning may be,studies show that the clone would in fact not be completely identical to the original just as twins are not completely identical.Though they might look alike,twins have different personalities and enjoy different things.The same could be said of clones.Even if technology were created in which your memories and thoughts could be transmitted(传送)to the clone,your clone would still be a different person.

32.What good might reproductive cloning bring?D
A.It may help improve human well-being.
B.It could contribute to the rising birthrate.
C.It could help animals survive deadly diseases.
D.It may enable scientists to better study extinct species.
33.According to the text,cloning can also be used forB.
A.organ transplant
B.solving the aging problem
C.infectious disease treatment
D.constructing a gene database
34.What's one problem cloning may cause?C
A.Great diversity.
B.Individual security risk.
C.Increased improper conduct.
D.Serious personality disorder.
35.Why are twins mentioned in the last paragraph?A
A.To stress twins'similarities.
B.To show twins are quite common.
C.To carry out deeper research on twins.
D.To better illustrate what a clone will be like.
8.请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章.
People who are your age,like your classmates,are called peers.When they try to influence how you act,to get you to do something,it's called peer pressure.Your peers influence your life,even if you don't realize it,just by spending time with you.It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Peers can have a positive influence on you.Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system.You might admire a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like her or him.
Sometimes,your peers can influence you in negative ways.For example,a few kids in school might try to get you to skip class with them; your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball.
Teenagers are the most likely to fall prey to peer pressure.So,their parents and teachers should make sure they don't submit to it.And the solution is not in isolating them from their peers.It's in teaching them to make good choices in life.
写作内容:1.用约30个单词写出上文概要;
2.用约120个单词就"来自同龄人的影响"这一话题谈谈你的想法,内容包括:(1)哪位同龄人对你的影响最大;(2)举例说明他或她对你的学习或成长的影响;(3)你怎样看待同龄人之间的影响.
写作要求:1.作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文语句;
2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称.
The passage explains what peer pressure is.This pressure has positive and negative on our lives.Teenagers give in to peer pressure quite easily,so they should be taught to make good choice.
This reminds me of my classmate,Landa,who is the top student in our class.She has a positive influence on me.Once she noticed that I was about to give up halfway after spending ages struggling with my maths homework,so she offered to help me with it.Unfortunately,she couldn't solve the maths problem straight away.But she kept trying,and worked on the problem for several hours,I was very moved.I was very moved.Since then,her firm determination to overcome difficulties has inspired me whenever I has been in a tricky situation.
From my perspective,since peer pressure is very important,we should get closer to those who have a positive influence on us,and keep away from those who do not..
15.French writer Frantz Fanon once said:"To speak a language is to take on a world,a culture."Since the world changes every day,so does our language.
More than 300 new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary,and in one way or another they are all reflections of today's changing world.
After a year that was politically unstable,it's not hard to understand the fact that people's political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary.One example is"clicktivism",a compound of"click"and"activism".It refers to"armchair activists"-people who support a political or social cause,but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone.And"otherize"is a verb for"other"that means to alienate (使疏远)people who are different from ourselves-whether that be different skin color,religious belief or sexuality.
Lifestyle is also changing our language.For example,"fitspiration"-a compound of fit and inspiration-refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy.
The phrase"climate refugee"-someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change-reflects people's concern for the environment.
According to Stevenson,social media was the main source for the new expressions."People feel much freer to coin their own words these days,"he said.
But still,not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream (主流的) dictionary.If you want to create your own hit words,Angus Stevenson,Oxford Dictionaries head of content development,suggests that you should not on y make sure that they are expressive (有表现力的) and meaningful,but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud.

28.What is the article mainly about?A
A.Some new word that got included into the online Oxford Dictionary.
B.The application of new words and phrases.
C.How a language mirrors the changing world.
D The impact of social media on our language.
29.The underlined word"coin"in the second-to-last paragraph probably meansD.
A.use   B.record   C.change   D.create
30.How is the article mainly written?A
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By following a timeline.
D.By presenting research findings.
31.According to Stevenson,to make the words you invent popular,they shouldD.
A.be easy to remember
B.have unique meanings
C.reflect the changing world
D.be meaningful,expressive and catchy.
5.Next fall when you see geese heading south for the winter or flying in"V"formation (队形),you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way.
As each bird spreads its wings,it creates an uplift (上升力) for bird immediately following.By flying in"V"formation the whole flock (鸟群) adds at least 71% greater flying range,than if each bird flies on its own.People who share a common direction arid sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and easily because they are traveling on the thrust (推动力) of one another.
When a goose falls out of the formation,it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.If we have as much sense as a goose,we will stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are.When the head goose gets tired,it flies backwards and another goose flies point.It is sensible to take turns doing demanding jobs,whether it is with people or with geese flying south.
Geese honk (雁叫) from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.What do we say when we honk from behind?
Finally and this is important,when a goose gets sick or is wounded by gunshots,and falls out of formation,two other geese fall out with that goose and follow it down to lend help and protection.They stay with the fallen goose until it is able to fly or until it dies,and only then do they launch out on their own,or with another formation to catch up with their group.If we have the sense of a goose,we will stand by each other like that.

25.The first three paragraphs chiefly deal withC.
A.scientific discovery about geese.
B.the importance of flight formation.
C.the advantages of"V"formation.
D.the reasons for geese's flight.
26.The phrase which can best replace"stand by"in the last sentence is"B".
A.be against.B.support.C.sit by.D.obey.
27.What does the author want us to learn from the geese?A
A.Teamwork.B.Sympathy.C.Kindness.D.Intelligence.
3.There are works of fiction that are published,enjoyed,but after a few years,more or less disappear.Then there are novels that don't just have literary success,but major cultural impact.One such book is One Hundred Years of Solitude,whose 50th anniversary is this year.It was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1927-2014).
It is an epic(史诗) tale of the nation of Colombia,from the country's founding to Marquez's own time.The novel is a major example of a revolution in South American writing that was to have a far-reaching influence on global literature.The method of writing that Marquez and others are credited with inventing,"magic realism",switched normal storytelling into a style where anything could happen.
Marquez treats Colombian history skeptically.He focuses on political corruption(腐败),civil war and the negative influence of American big business.And while this could be a description of a very conventional novel,One Hundred Years of Solitude is anything but conventional.
It took a memory of his grandmother to show him the right way to write the novel.He recalled that when she told him stories in his childhood,she would put on a"brick face".Marquez remembered this trick and began to write the novel differently.He wrote,"If you tell something to someone with an absolutely serious expression on your face,you have a chance of them believing what you say."It seems that mastering this trick of his grandmother's helped Marquez create one of the greatest literary works of the 20th century.
