The juries entered. I stood beside the lawyer and my brother, Jimmy. It reminded me of our childhood—as things often did—when we played the game “Simon Says”, we would react at the same time in harmony when hearing all kinds of orders. “Simon says jump, Simon says touch your toes”—it was almost the same. Almost. When we grew up, my brother had chosen a separate life, leaving me alone. I missed him a lot. Today, though, we were together, standing in court, waiting for the sentence. The guilty verdict was read. I sat down, but my brother cried, “No! I’m innocent.” And then he turned to me, yelling, “How can you do this to me, James! I finally can make a new life by myself.” “Stop this,” the judge yelled, “the juries have made the decision.” “But it’s not fair!” my brother replied, “I didn’t kill anyone.” I wished I could explain, but I said nothing because this is the only way we can be together again. The judge pulled his glasses from his face. “By law…” “The law is unjust,” my brother said. The judge wiped his eyes, and, to my surprise, said calmly. “Yes,” he nodded his glasses aside. “I agree with you about that. Law is meant to protect the innocent. And you certainly seem innocent. But how can I tell? You two are clones. Your faces, your fingerprints, even your DNA match exactly. That’s why when one is found guilty, all others…” The judge sighed, replaced his glasses, and banged the hammer. “I sentence you both to twenty years.” Together, the court guard led us away. My brother’s head bowed in defeat, but I walked upright, for I would no longer be alone. 【1】How did James think of their childhood? A.He felt sorry for Jimmy. B.He had been in court before. C.He felt guilty about his past. D.He missed the good old days. 【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph? A.Two boys had nothing in common. B.The two brothers behaved alike. C.They once quarreled with each other. D.Neither of them liked living together. 【3】What do we know about the law from the text? A.Cloned brothers should live together. B.The cloning of human being is forbidden. C.Cloned brothers are both guilty if one is guilty. D.Cloned brothers can live apart when growing up. 【4】What can be inferred from the text? A.James was innocent. B.Jimmy did kill someone. C.James knew nothing about the law. D.James took advantage of the law. |

Parents who want their kids to succeed more than anything are now being sold a high-tech solution. Class 120 is $199-a-year smartphone app that tracks teenagers and alerts parents if the kid isn’t in his or her scheduled class. Is it a good idea for parents to track whether their young adults are in class? In short: No. This is a terrible idea. One of the fundamental purposes of a college is learning to be an independent person. That means learning how to do what needs to be done, whether one particularly feels like doing it or not. It’s easy to see why parents are keen on tracking their kids. A student is admitted to college by a process that focuses mainly on grades and scores. Monitoring grades and scores is easy. The parents may think that: “Our child is succeeding. We are good parents. We are happy.” But grades and scores can’t tell everything. They don’t take into account whether their kids have the strength of self-discipline (自律) and the skill needed to care for himself or herself. Monitoring the development of character is much harder for parents. Character growth happens through encountering (遇到) and learning to deal with disappointments and failure. You never know which problem will be the point for growth. However, letting kids fail can be really difficult for anxious parents. They believe that success means being perfect and never failing. The truth is that kids need to learn to fail. College is an ideal place to practice adults’ responsibility and independence. Students need to make their own decisions about whether to get out of bed and go to work in the morning. Maybe your child hasn’t learned this lesson by now, but he or she has to learn it sometime. An alarm clock’s job is to wake you up, but it does not provide a reason. 【1】What’s author’s attitude toward tracking teenagers? A.Supportive. B.Opposed. C.Indifferent. D.Disappointed. 【2】According to the author, what’s the most important thing should a college student learn in school? A.Avoiding failure. B.Keeping healthy. C.Professional knowledge. D.Living independently. 【3】What’s the author’s opinion on failure? A.Failure means that a kid is not good enough. B.Failure may be the key part of kid’s development. C.Everyone should manage to avoid failure at any time. D.Failure will bring many negative influences to children. 【4】What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph? A.An alarm clock is necessary for a kid. B.A kid should buy a talking alarm clock. C.A kid should get up early for learning without any reason. D.A kid should always maintain a sense of responsibility and independence. |

Do you still remember the scene in the famous movie Titanic, directed by Cameron, where Jack was frozen to death in the icy cold water so that Rose could survive on the floating door alone? It broke many people’s heart. Two decades later, people are still asking the question, “wasn’t there enough room on the door for both of them?” Cameron once responded by saying it wasn’t a question of room, but buoyancy—if both of them had tried to stay on the raft, he argued, the whole thing would sink. But several guys from “Mythbusters”, an Australian-American science entertainment television program, decided to test the theory themselves. They discovered that if Rose had took off her life jacket to the bottom of the raft, there would have been enough buoyancy to keep both of them afloat. When they presented their findings to Cameron, the director insisted that Jack couldn’t be saved. “The answer is very simple,” Cameron said. “Because it says on page 147 of the script that Jack dies. To Cameron, it was an artistic choice to have the beloved character of millions, Jack drown into the cold sea. Jack had to die because Cameron thought it would be best if we did. “It was an artistic choice, the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him,” Cameron said. “I think it’s all kind of silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later. But it does show that the film was effective in making Jack so endearing to the audience that it hurts them to see him die. The film is about death and separation; he had to die.” Since Jack was doomed to die, Cameron said, it could have happened in a variety of different ways. It’s not about the door not being big enough: that’s just a practical method for his death. “Whether it was that, or whether a chimney fell on him, he was going down,” Cameron said. “It’s called art: things happen for artistic reasons, not for physics reasons.” 【1】What do we know about the character Jack according to the text? A.He intended to kill himself. B.He sacrificed himself to save Rose. C.He didn’t have money to buy ticket. D.He lacked basic knowledge of physics. 【2】According to Cameron, why did the audience argue about Jack’s death for 20 years? A.They are fragile people. B.They don’t like the movie. C.They love the character Jack. D.They are crazy about physics. 【3】Why was a chimney mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To introduce the structure of the ship. B.To show the original plan of the movie. C.To present the missing part of the movie. D.To explain the unchangeable fate of Jack. 【4】What is best title of the text? A.Jack in Titanic Must Die. B.Big Enough for Both. C.Cameron is Wrong. D.Jack could Survive. |

Capturing a dramatic sky with a camera is more difficult than it seems. With the sky lighter than the land, the camera will typically over-expose the sky, turning a brilliant blue into an unexciting gray. 【1】 ◆Time is right. Landscape photography may not require the timing that’s necessary for capturing a baby’s smile. 【2】 The sky that’s gray one day, could be bright blue the next. When planning out a landscape photo, consider how the timing will impact the sky. ◆ 【3】 Photography rules are sometimes meant to be broken. Sometimes, using the wrong white balance setting creates a more dramatic sky. This is especially true when shooting towards the beginning or end of the day. ◆ Compose for the sky. 【4】 If you are shooting a photo with an average looking sky, try placing the horizon on the upper third of the image, so more of the land is included in the photo. But if the sky is really dramatic, take advantage of that and include more of it in the frame by placing the horizon on the lower third. ◆ Use a filter (滤镜). 【5】 It limits the light coming in for bright scenes or long exposures. Every landscape photographer should have a filter in their camera bag in order to capture more dramatic skies. A.A filter is like sunglasses. B.Try the wrong white balance. C.You can ignore any other factors. D.Wait for a sunny day to take your photo. E.Pay attention to where you place the horizon. F.But timing is a big part to shoot a perfect sky. G.Here are several tips for capturing perfect skies. |

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。 Whether we notice it or not, our child is a little reflection of ourselves. They grow up looking more and more like us. They even have similar personalities and hobbies. And in some cases, the standard of choosing a good friend. One day, my 10-year-old Jane said, “Mom, I made a new friend at school today. Can she come over tomorrow?” Her words made me extremely happy because Jane was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell. “Sure, honey, that sounds great.” I said, thinking back to my own childhood best friend, Susan. We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights, New York. We met at the age of 10, too. Like my daughter. I was shy and had trouble making friends. But Susan drew me out. She was one of the friendliest people in school, with shiny black hair and a mile-wide smile. Thanks to Susan. I was happy every day. In senior high school, Susan went on a trip to Florida. This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days. “I’ll be back soon and I will write to you as soon as I arrive.” she told me. But I didn’t get her phone call nor receive any mail from her. Soon, my family moved to New Jersey, making my hope of seeing Susan impossible. Whenever I thought of him, tears came into my eyes. The next day Jane brought her new friend home. “Hi, Mrs. Smith.” the little girl said. Her hair was so shiny and black and she gave me a big smile. “My name is Jo. My mom will pick me up 2 hours later.” 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。 Paragraph1: I was puzzled because my daughter’s new friend looked so familiar. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Two hours passed really quickly, and there was a knock on the door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
