founded,NEST4US,has helped tens of thousands of homeless people in the United States.Venkats passion for helping others started as soon as she could walk,as her parents,active volunteers themselves,brought her along on their various projects.By fifth grade,shed developed such enthusiasm for it that she could start her own service projects.NEST4US was born when she happened to meet a man seeking for food.There was a homeless man and he was holding a sign that said Hungry Need Food,”she remembers.So I gave him my lunch一 it was just a banana,a granola bar,and a water and his whole face just lit up.I found out he hadnt eaten in a week!It was so easy,it only took me 30 seconds*and it really helped him.Then,she decided to just act.She emails,calls,and talks,which is quite beyond her age,to business owners in-person to ask for donations.From there,volunteers pick up the donated food and deliver it to local shelters.As much as she has helped others,theyve helped her too,she says.Not only does she get a lot of joy and personal satisfaction from her volunteer work but she says running NEST4US has taught her important life skills like lime management,public speaking,writing,and leadership.What its really given me is this perspective,of putting other people first,she says.24.Why was Venkata willing to help others?A.She wanted to start her own projects.B.She could learn a lot from it.C.The man she helped inspired her.D.Her parents influenced her.25.What did Venkat do for the man seeking for food?A.She set up NEST4US.公众号：卷洞洞B.She called her parents for help.C.She gave him her lunch.*D.She asked business owners for donations.26.Which of the following can best describe Venkat?A.Honest and kind.B.Competent and sympathetic.C.Intelligent and polite.D.Helpful and careful.27.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.A Girl Feeding the Homeless B.Passion for Donation C.The Birth of NEST4US D.Putting Other People First C As one of the most important languages in the world,Latin had humble beginnings.It originated along the Tiber River in Italy and only a handful of people spoke the language.-Over time,Latin became more well-known as Romans gained political power.Many famous literary texts and scientific classifications were written in Latin.Even though knowing Latin indicated a person was educated,according to Britannica,“in the 20th century far less people learned Latin leading it to be classified as a dead language.There are around 7,000 living languages in the world,but,according to Britannica,more than half are at risk of dying out by the end of the 21st century.Civilizations evolve over time and so do languages.More often than not,a language dies because everyone who speaks the language dies.For example,Marie Smith Jones,perhaps the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language*died at the age of 89 in 2008,and so did the language.Now,less and less people speak Latin,which raises publics awareness about its protection.Actually*there are many other reasons as to why Latin should be protected or taught.It is a window into a fascinating ancient civilization,and studying an ancient civilization teaches us to respect different points of view and unfamiliar cultural practices,says Kathleen Coleman,James Loeb Professor of Harvard University.Since it isnt used in ordinary conversations,there are a lot of difficulties that arise from teaching Latin.Teaching a dead language is different from teaching other languages,explains Coleman,because there are no native speakers to show us how it sounds or answer questions about the meaning of words or explain idioms.Though its hard,fortunately,we still can find the answers to our questions from the fragmentary evidence available in written texts.28.What can we learn about Latin from the Paragraph 1?A.Latin was well-known since its birth.B.All people did not learn Latin in the 20th century.C.Latin was not favored by scientists and writers.D.Only educated people learned Latin in the past.29.The author mentions Marie Smith Jones in the Paragraph 2 to show _.A.Latin is going to be a dead language B.why people should be aware of protecting languages C.what it really means when a language dies D.he is the last native speaker of the Alaskan Eyak language 30.Why should people learn Latin according to Coleman?A.To show unfamiliar practices.公众号：卷洞洞B.To respect others*opinions.C.To protect a dead language.D.To learn about an ancient society.31.What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A.The development of Latin.B.The learning methods.C.The learning materials.D.The difficulties in learning Latin.What happens when you cross stem cells（干细胞),from a frog heart and frog skin?Not muchthat is,until you program those cells to move.In that case,youve created a xenobot,a new type of organism thats part robot,part living-thing.Now a team of scientists has used living cells from frog embryos（胚胎and assembled（装配）them into entirely new life-forms.These millimeter-wide xenobots can move toward a specific target and heal themselves after being cut.These arc novel living machines,says Joshua Bongard,a computer scientist and robotics expert at the University of Vermont who co-led the new research.Theyre neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal.Its a new living,programmable organism.”Xenobots borrow their name from Xenopus laevis,the name for the African clawed frog from which the researchers harvested the stem cells.They combined together well two different kinds of cellsheart and skin cells.The heart cells are capable of expanding and shrinking*which aids the xenobot in locomotion,and the skin cells provide structure.Besides,they cant accomplish tasks without the help of computers.By studying these curious organisms,researchers hope to learn more about the mysterious world of cellular communication.Plus,these kinds of robo-organisms could possibly be the key to drug delivery in the body or greener environmental cleanup techniques.“Most technologies are made from steel,concrete,chemicals,and plastics,which degrade（降解）over time and can produce harmful ecological and health side effects,”the authors note in a research paper.When these xenobots finally do stop working,they fall apart harmlessly.Promising as these organisms arc,when we start to.mess around with complex systems that we dont understand,were going to get unintended consequences,Michael Levin,a biophysicist and co-author of the study,says in a press statement.32.What do we know about the xenobot?A.It can recover itself after being cut.B.It is not easy to degrade over time.C.It will never die with a computer inside.D.It is named after a kind of American frog.33.What does the underlined word“locomotion in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Appearance B.Movement.C.Application D.Position.34.According to the text xenobots can be employed to.A.recycle,waste in nature B.replace certain imaged organs C.impro communication technology 公众号：卷洞洞D.deliver medicine inside patients 35.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.More research should be done on xenobots.B.Xenobots are created totally by accident.C.Xenobots can be put into the market soon.D.It is hard for people to understand xenobots.第二节（共 5小题,每小题 2 分，满分 10

for centuries,are introduced here to help keep eye muscles sharp as well as relax the eyes.Massage your eyes.Easy to do,massage is a common treatment to relieve tension or stress.37 You can begin by gently massaging your upper eyelids for 10 seconds and then gently massage your lower eyelids.The soft pressure on the lacrimal glands（泪腺），which produce most of your tears,helps to stimulate tear production and wetness in the eyes.This,in turn,provides relief to tired eyes.38 It offers much-needed breaks and moments of relaxation for our eyes.However,it is often something most people ignored since it is such a natural activity that generally requires little thought.Not only does blinking push out dirt with tears,it also works to spread tear film evenly over your eyes.Work out the eyes.39 It is a good eye focusing exercise,as you have to constantly adjust how well you can focus on an object from certain distances.You can also make a figure eight with your eyes,which practices controlling the physical movement of your eyes.Palm your eyes.40 Rub your palms together beforehand to produce some heat before you begin palming.Then,close your eyes and you can cover your eyes for a few minutes with cupped hands.Normally,rest in this position for 510 minutes.Anyway,take a break and perform these exercises will refresh your eyes.A.Look outside.B.Blink more.C.But our eyes need exercise as well.D.It can be done very simply.E.Practicing zooming with your eyes is highly suggested.F.You can draw circles with your eyes.G.It helps to improve blood circulation around your eyes.第三部分 语言知识，满分 45 分）第一节（共 20 小題 每小题 1.5分，满分 30分）阅读下面佥文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入 空白处的最住遥项 High school students have a lot more power than they may realize.Dylan Belsher noticed a 41 on the
