Mary started bringing them food,and gradually they began to trust her.She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture.Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits,she started posting similar Photos on Facebook.The response Was greatly positive,and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet sensation.
Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College,Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home,but she didn't interact with people very much.She was later diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome,but the squirrels changed that.The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice,because I'll be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them,"she said."I am a lot more outgoing.
And in case you're wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos,it has a lot to do with food.For example,whenever she wants them to hold or play with something,she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具),and they'll grab it.But getting to that part took a while.In the beginning,she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them,but they hesitated to approach her.She had the patience to earn their trust,though.
This year,Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences.She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment.As for her furry friends,Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.

Parents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given.The homework load of Spanish children has long been a sore point with some parents,who argue that the burden is too great,places too much pressure on pupils and eats into family time.
According to a study by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD),Spanish 15-year-olds have 6.5 hours of homework a Week compared with an average of 4.9 across the 38 OECD countries. The Spanish Confederation of Associations of Mothers and Fathers of Students (Ceapa) is calling on parents whose children attend Spanish state schools to boycott weekend homework in November.
"We've lost a bit of common sense in this country when it comes to talking about education and we've got a system in which boys' and girls' free time has disappeared",said Jos Luis Pazos,president of Ceapa."Schools are passing on tasks to families that they shouldn't be.It starts with children from the ages of three to six doing half an hour's homework every day.For us,that's an unacceptable situation".
Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future.They should be.happy when they're little and that life isn't just about someone telling you that you have to suffer inexplicably(难以理解地).The model needs to change because society has changed.
Schoolchildren have to fit their homework around the school day,which varies from region to region and school to school,but starts early from around 8 am or 9 am and finishes anywhere between 2 pm and 5 pm.However,schools are increasingly using an 8 am-2 pm timetable to save money and in the face of evidence that suggests the longer hours do not yield better results.
A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments.They're the ones who know best what the need is in each case.
9. Why are parents in Spain being called on to go on a strike?
A. To stop school violence.
B. To ask for longer school time.
C. To say no to heavy homework load.
D. To request equal education for their kids.
10. Which of the following would Ceapa agree to?
A. Longer school hours will ensure better grades.
B. Happiness is the most important thing for a child.
C. Huge amounts of homework means a better future.
D. The 8 am-2 pm timetable is suitable for most children.
11. Which of the following should be responsible for students' homework according to the spokesman?
A. Ceapa.
B. The OECD.
C. Regional governments.
D. Each individual school.
【答案】9. C
10. B
11. D
【解析】本文从西班牙父母抗议孩子们的课后作业负担太重这个事件,来引出并讲述西班牙教育的现状及问题。西班牙的一个联合会认为孩子应该度过一个幸福的童年,教育部负责人认为,家庭作业是私立学校的事而不是地方政府所负责。
9. C.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Parents in Spain are being urged to go on a weekend homework strike this month in protest against the unacceptable amount of after-school tasks their children are given”可知,西班牙的父母认为孩子的课后负担太重,因此提出抗议。故选C。
10. B.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Pazos said Ceapa disagreed with the belief that children should endure huge amounts of homework in the hope that it would ensure them a better future.They should be.happy when they're little”可知,Ceapa认为,孩子们在小时候应该幸福开心的生活。故选B。
11. D.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A spokesman for the education department of Madrid said homework was a matter for individual schools rather than regional governments”可知,这位发言人认为,家庭作业是私立学校的事而不是地方政府的事。故选D。

Growing up in Wyoming,everyday life was an adventure—I spent my time camping,and exploring mountains. When I was little,my mom became the state's first female U.S. Marshall.I'll never forget how the local newspaper praised her for her success in a field that's traditionally run by men.Under her influence,I made up my mind to achieve something great.Now,I've become famous for sailing,a sport often considered "a man's world".
Sailing is considered a hard-to-break-into sport.And,generally,there are only two ways to get into it—either through a strict sailing education that leads to experience or by growing up on the water and racing in the Olympics. Most of my teammates became professional sailors in one of these two ways but I skipped both.
In the summer of 2008,I went to St.Croix through a college internship(实习)program focusing on educating locals about HIV and AIDs.There,I discovered my love for sailing.Then,SCA,a global hygiene(卫生保健)company, made the decision to support an all-female team,and when they began accepting applications,I knew it was the chance of a lifetime.I made it my task to become a part of the team.Even when it seemed like there were no positions left,I never gave up.
After a stressful,two-year application process,I finally got the call.I moved to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands and began training with the team immediately.The process was physically,mentally and emotionally exhausting,but I finally achieved my goal.I sailed in the "Everest of sailing" with only six years' experience.Later,there was an all-female team competing,and I was lucky enough to be a part of it.
As women,we need to approach our dreams as if we deserve to achieve them as much as men,because we do. There are plenty of professions,including sailing,in which women are absent or have a minor presence—but that's not because they shouldn't be there.We need to push the boundaries and focus on obtaining our goals and passions,no matter how unobtainable and challenging they may seem.

44. safely
45. supplied
46. a
47. and
48. deliveries
49. receiving
50. that
【解析】本文讲述了英国食品配送服务公司采用了·机器人送外卖的方法,通过把食物锁在储存箱而防止小偷,安全的送到客户手中。Just Eat公司还想要2017年在伦敦更经常性的使用机器人并计划保留英国独有的运送机器人。
41. for
考查固定搭配。 句意:公司在伦敦用机器人对第一批产品的运送负责。 “be responsible for……”对……有责任。故填“for”。
42. to pick
考查状语的使用。句意:Just Eat公司给一家土耳其餐厅Taksim Meze送了一个用飞船技术制造出的六轮式机器人来分拣订单。 “to pick”在此句作目的状语表目的,表明公司给土耳其餐厅送去机器人的目的。故填“to pick”。
43. its
考查名词性物主代词。句意:机器人用自己的方式给顾客安全的带去食物,将小偷阻止在了锁着的箱子外。“Its”形容词性物主代词,意为“它的”,用在名词前。句中表示“它的方式”。故选“Its”
44. safely
考查副词。 句意:机器人用自己的方式给顾客安全的带去食物,将小偷阻止在了锁着的箱子外。“Safely”是副词形式,意为“安全的”,根据句意,此空填Safely修饰整个句子,表名机器人分拣订单的安全性。故填“Safely”。
45. supplied
考查动词。然后顾客使用Just Eat提供的密码来解锁机器人的存储盒。根据题意·可知,密码是被公司提供的,故此空用被动式,故填 “Supplied”。
46. a
考查固定搭配。句意:机器人使用了各种各样的照相机、传感器和GPS跟踪器沿着人行道走向目的地。“a variety of”属固定搭配,意为“多种多样的”。故填“a”。
47. and
考查连词。句意:Just Eat说公司想要2017年在伦敦更经常性的使用机器人,它还计划保留英国独有的运送机器人,尽管飞船技术在世界的其他地方进行很多的测试交付。由句意可知,空白处两段的句意是并列关系,故填“and”。
48. deliveries
考查名词。句意:Just Eat说公司想要2017年在伦敦更经常性的使用机器人,它还计划保留英国独有的运送机器人,尽管飞船技术在世界的其他地方进行很多的测试交付。由语法知识可知,“many”后跟名词复数,故填“deliveries”
49. receiving
考察动词。句意:而送货员可能对从机器收到到订单表示怀疑。“of”后接动名词形式。故填“receiving”。
50. that
考察定语从句。句意:我们都可以享受到不再给送货人小费的想法了。分析句子可知,空白处后是一定语从句修饰“thought”,由句意可知,前半句句子中不缺成分,故用“that”连接。

Building a good relationship with our teachers benefit us all.Teachers showed love,concern and understand for us students m study and life.We students can always seek support and advice from us.In this case,an ideal relationship is of Vital important.In my opinion,this relationship should be one filling with love and respect,so we can exchange ideas free with teachers.If we students trust eachers and express our feelings clearly,or they will become our friend.Only through constant efforts we enjoy a warm relationship between teachers and students.
【答案】
【解析】1.“Building a good relationship with our teachers”作主语,即动名词作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故“benefit”改为“benefits”。
2.通读全文可知,文章全部用一般现在时来表达。故“showed”改成“show”。
3.“Teachers showed love,concern and understand for us students m study and life”此句中第一个“and”连接的是名词。故“understand”改成名词形式“understanding”。
4.“We students can always seek support and advice from us”根据前后文可知,此句应当翻译为:“我们学生向老师寻求帮助和支持以及建议。”而不是“from us”。故“us”改为“them”。
5.“of vital importance”固定搭配,意为重要的。故把“important”改为“ importance”。
6.“be filled with”属固定搭配,意为充满着。故把“ filling ”改为“ filled”。
7.“we can exchange ideas free with teachers”结合上下文可知,此句应翻译为“我们可以与教师自由的交换意见”。其中“free”属形容词,在此句中不能修饰整句话,副词可以。故将“free”改为“freely”。
8.“If we students trust eachers and express our feelings clearly,or they will become our friend”此句中。If引导条件状语从句,前半句是条件,后半句是结果,or是多余的。故将“or”去掉。
9.“our friend”结合上下文可知,这里的“friend”是指老师,结合语境可知,不止是一个老师。故将“friend”改为“ friends”。
10.“Only through constant efforts we enjoy a warm relationship between teachers and students.”此句中,“only”用在句首时,主句需要用倒装结构。此句的后半句是主句,没有倒装,谓语动词是“enjoy”,故可在“we”主语前加“can/will/do”等将主句改为倒装结构。

【解析】这是一篇书信类作文,针对当假期来临的时候,越来越多的人们选择去名校参观,但有的人反对将校园变为旅游区的现象来写信表达自己的看法。
考生在写这篇文章时,要注意以下几点:
1.书信格式要正确,信件开头结尾格式基本固定,根据题干要求对写信对象进行调整。例如本篇作文中,收件人是Peter,写信人为Li Hua。
2.书信一般要开门见山,交代下写信件原因,便于读信人了解书信重点,点明了这篇书信话题是关于“大学应不应该对游客开放”。
3.要点要齐全。但是不要对要点进行简单的罗列。可以使用适当的连接词,使上下文行文流畅,衔接自然流畅。
4.注意文章要以一定的逻辑顺序进行叙述,一定要把各方观点叙述清楚,特别是注意阐述自己的观点,细节把控要到位。否则会显得说服力不够,内容不够丰满。
【范文亮点】
1. “Some people believe that it is good to open universities to tourists while others argue against it.”这里采用了“believe that……”的宾语从句,“that”后解释了“believe”的内容,使观点更鲜明流畅。
2.第三段运用了Personally speaking连接词,后面阐述了自己的观点, 使文章行文流畅,逻辑清晰,观点更明确。
3. .“As for famous universities,being open to tourists serves as an effective approach to attracting talents from all over the country.”此句“being open to tourists serves”动名词用作主语,运用了高级句式,提高了文章整体的语言色彩。
