A

Rony Monzon who shielded his best friend from a spray of bullets said he wouldn’t hesitate to take the same action again.

The 13-year-old was sitting on a porch and eating pizza with Deneysi Valdovinos, a girl he's known his whole life, when a gunman walked up and started shooting.

"I don't know where he started shooting from the side and I was very scared and I ran inside. And then her dad told me that I was bleeding. I checked myself and I was bleeding from my chest, my arm; and I saw the little holes and I was very scared," he said.

Despite being scared, he said he didn't feel any pain and tried to remain calm, even trying to ease the fears of his own mother, who'd been called to the home.

Doctors said the teen was hit three times; in the arm, chest and hip. All of the bullets passed completely through his young body.

Valdovinos visited him in the hospital before his release late Thursday evening.

"She was very thankful; very, very thankful because I saved her life," he said.

Doctors said they expect the Rony's recovery to take about six weeks.

He said his faith has kept him strong, and he and his mother said they hope the shooter learns the error of his ways."I forgive him. I forgive him for what he has done to my son," said Diana Monzon. "I feel sorry for this guy. I don't know what past through his mind, and I hope that he realized that it was a big mistake what he did. You never prepare for something like this because today it was my son. Tomorrow it'll be someone else,"

Rony wants to see the shooter brought to justice. "I know they didn't mean it for me; they meant it for the other people," he said. "But I would like to know if the police could catch them and then give them their sentence to know what they had done to me, because this isn't fair for me."

A young man returns to his hometown of Aracataca, Colombia. He visits the house where he lived as a child. Here, he remembers the most important memories of his childhood. Standing in front of his old house, the young man makes an important decision. He says to himself, "I will start my life over again. I will become a writer."

The book, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" was immediately successful. And this book created a path for Garcia Marquez's future success.

If you're in Florence, Italy and see a man on a ladder wiping the dust off statues and buildings, don't worry. It's just Alessandro Ricci gathering material for his famous smog paintings．

Ricci is not a common artist, because he used smog as the main medium of his artworks. Unlike other painters seeking fast recognition of their talent, he doesn't really care about "being this big artist"．Instead, he is more concerned about bringing attention to how much smog there really is in his home town and how it's destroying both its monuments and people．

Although he did take a couple of art classes a few years back, he is mainly self-taught, doesn't work in a studio, donates most of his work, and refuses to play by the rules of the Florentine Art Gallery, which he considers corrupt．Alessandro Ricci believes selling his smog paintings will not only compromise his principles, but also contradict the very thing he's trying to do—raise awareness about smog pollution in this city．

Alessandro lives with his parents nearby Florence, but almost every day he visits the streets of the city, and collects smog for his paintings．He gets it from several meters above ground, from clean surfaces like marble, plastic and stone, using damp pieces of cotton．Then he applies the smog directly onto a cloth and creates street scenes and reproductions of the very buildings from which he got the dangerous material．Finally, he seals his paintings with a natural resin （树脂）．

His actions helped win a small victory for the people of Florence, as in October 25, 2012 the Duomo area of the city was made pedestrian-only．But there is still a long way to go, the artist believes, and only cleaning the thick layer of smog that has accumulated throughout Florence would take several years．Still, he continues to paint his unique smog artworks and let the people know how polluted the environment they live in really is．

56．What does the text mainly tell us?

       A．Florentine artist fights pollution by painting with smog．

       B．Ricci invents a unique way to paint buildings in Florence．

       C．People in Florence gather smog to create street scenes．

       D．Florence takes measures to improve the polluted city．

57．In what way is Ricci quite different from other artists?

       A．He lacks talent in art work．        B．He cares little about fame．

       C．He hates all the art Galleries．      D．He likes to do things at will．

58．Ricci paints his unique smog artworks aiming to_____．

       A．fight government corruption          B．advertise the monuments

       C．create more street scenes                 D．raise awareness about pollution

59．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

       A．The place where Ricci lives．         B．The problem that Florence faces．

       C．The way Ricci paints with smog．       D．The materials for his painting．

60．We can learn from the last paragraph that____．

       A．Duomo area of Florence has become more crowded with traffic

       B．Ricci's action has brought no change to the people of Florence

       C．Ricci will continue to raise Florentine people's awareness about pollution

       D．Smog pollution in Florence will be completely settled in several years

D

You don't need to get in a time-traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop．Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist．Let's see what's in store for your future shopping．

Try it on, virtually （虚拟的）．Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you---use the eBay Fashion iPhone app （程序） to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face．But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body．You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience．

Get a perfect, custom fit．Everyone's body is shaped differently．To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed．But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly．Some companies scan your body using High-tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special clothes just for you．

High-tech shopping carts and checkout counters．High-tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are currently under test．The cart can follow you along the aisles （通道）, controlled merely by your movement and your voice．In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet-equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles．

In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop．While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner．The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code．

61．What's the best title for this text?

       A．Ways for future shopping          B．Influence of new technology

       C．Inventions to change habits        D．A new time-traveling machine

62．According to Paragraph 2, The eBay Fashion iPhone app can _____．

       A．make vivid pictures of our face   B．help us sell more clothes online

       C．create us a virtual dressing room  D．choose suitable eyeglasses for us

63．Which of the following can get the most accurate shape of our body?

       A．Object Recognition Scanner．     B．The eBay Fashion iPhone app．

       C．3D scanning technology．       D．Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts．

64．The Object Recognition Scanner can identify a product more quickly by____．

       A．the customer's voice            B．its shape and color

       C．the customer's movement        D．the bar code on it

65．What can we infer from this text?

       A．Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future．

       B．Buyers can use Scan It to go around the supermarket by themselves．

       C．High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets．

       D．The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true．

Boys and girls, as we all know, most people, especially young people, tend to care about their hair much because hair plays a very important role in our appearance. But can you imagine what other uses hair has? Do you have any idea that human hair may become a new solar energy source? Before we begin with the new content of our physics, let me tell you a new invention first.

It’s reported that a Nepali teenager has designed a ＄32 solar panel（电池板）using human hair.

Milan Karki, who is 18 years old and lives in a village in rural Nepal, used human hair to replace silicon(硅),which is a common but expensive component(元件)of solar panels.

By using hair as a replacement, Karki says that solar panels can be produced for around ＄32, a price that could be halved if they were mass-produced.

The solar panel works, because melanin(黑色素)，which gives hair its colour, is light sensitive and can act as an electrical conductor. Kaiki was inspired to think of the idea by a Stephen Hawking book, which explained how to create electric energy from hair.

The device that Karki has invented is capable of producing 9V or 18V of energy—plenty to charge a mobile phone.

“Half a kilo of hair can be bought for only 16p in Nepal and lasts a few months; whereas a pack of batteries would cost 50p and lasts few nights,” according to The Daily Mail.

The solar panel is claimed to be easy to service as the hair is easy to replace.

Karki has now sent out several devices to other districts near his home for testing. He said, “First I wanted to provide electricity for my home, then my village. Now I am thinking for the whole world.”

So next time when you have a haircut, do remember to keep your hair cut down to use for energy. Perhaps you can also provide electricity for your home, even your village using your own hair.

66. What does the first paragraph want to tell us?

A. Young people tend to care about their hair much.

B. Hair plays a very important role in our appearance.

C. Human hair has some other uses.

D. Hair may become a new solar energy source.

67. Which of the following is true about Milan Karki?

A. He is good at his study.           B. He hasn’t been to a big city.

C. He is a young man good at thinking. D. He has earned much money from his invention.

68. What’s the advantage of using hair as a new solar energy source?

A. It is a common but expensive component of solar panels.

B. It can create electric energy.

C. It can produce energy plenty to charge a mobile phone.

D. It is cheap and easy to replace.

69. Which of the following is true about the new invention?

A. We can buy solar panel for around ＄32 using hair as a replacement in the market.

B. The device can produce 9V or 18V of energy.

C. Karki thought of the idea of inventing the device all by himself.

D. Karki provides electricity for his home using hair.

70. Who do you suppose the speaker is?

A. A famous scientist.                B. A reporter of The Daily Mail.

C. A senior high school teacher.        D. A famous hairdresser.

第一节 阅读表达（每小题3分；满分15分)

阅读下面短文并回答问题，请注意问题后词数要求。

   [1] “The other day I was taking my daughter to school when a young woman suddenly walked straight off the pavement in front of my car, eyes glued to her phone as she was texting. I hit the brakes and slid to a stop, just in time not to run into her. What a near miss! Lady, I beg you to look where you’re going! ” A man complained to a journalist yesterday．

   [2] In fact, of more than 1, 000 people crossing 20 different roads in Seattle, 10% were listening to music, 7% were texting and 6% were having conversations on phone, the journal Injury Prevention reports and it estimates there was a 5% rise in the numbers of pedestrian(步行者) deaths and injuries from June 2012.

   [3] The texters are four times more likely to ignore red lights or fail to look both ways before crossing. And it takes almost two seconds longer to cross the road. Listening to music seems to shorten the time taken to cross the road, but when they are doing it they are less likely to look both ways before crossing.

   [4] Kevin Clinton, from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said, “Looking properly when you are walking is as important as when you are driving, so take care not to be dangerously distracted, whether by mobile phones, listening to music or being caught up in conversations with other people. Road users need to be tuned in to what's happening around them and shouldn't do the wrong thing at the wrong time. We have always told motorists to look out for pedestrians. Now we are increasingly telling pedestrians to ___________. A change in attitudes, similar to efforts around drunk-driving, will be important to limit the risk of pedestrian misbehavior.”

  [5] Thank you!
