Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!

The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.

His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie’s jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.

The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.

Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).

The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!

Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!

14. The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.

1. coach                      B. teammate             

C. challenger               D. record holder

15. What can we learn about the spittlebug?

A. It likes living on the ceiling.

B. It is good at flying in the air.

C. It is the same length as a pencil.

D. It has a wonderful jumping talent.

16. In the author’s opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug’s jumping abilities are _____.

1. surprising                B. promising     
   C. doubtful                  D. fearful
   17. How does the author develop the text?
   A. By giving instructions.
   B. By making comparisons.
   C. By following the order of time.
   D. By following the order of importance.
   
   C

   Free energy is everywhere around us. There are many ways to make and collect energy from various sources like sun, wind and water. People also realize that everyday stuff can be a source of energy too. For example, riding a bike, running or just walking, etc. We simply have to change our way of thinking if we want to change the world.
   So comes the idea of solar roadways. Are they the road of future? Why use roads just for driving and collecting tolls (过路费)? Why don’t we use them for collecting energy?
   The US Department of Transportation recently awarded $100,000 to Solar Roadways to build the first ever Solar Road Panel. So how do these future roads work?
   The Solar Road Panels will contain embedded (嵌入的) LEDs which “paint” the road lines from beneath to provide safer nighttime driving as well as to give drivers instant（） instructions such as detour (绕行) ahead. The road will be able to sense wildlife on the road and can warn drivers to “slow down”. There will also be embedded heating elements in the surface to prevent snow and ice buildup, providing safer winter driving.
   Replacing asphalt (沥青) roads and parking lots with Solar Roadway Panels will be a major step toward stopping climate change. Fully electric vehicles will be able to recharge along the roadway and in parking lots, finally making electric cars practical for long trips.
   We just can’t wait to see more of these roads all over the world in the near future.
   22.The first paragraph serves as a(n) _____.
   1. argumentB. comment

C. explanationD. background

23.When some animals are on the solar road, what will the road do?

A. Guide them to a safer place.

B. Remind drivers to drive slowly.

C. Frighten them away from the road.

D. Advise drivers to choose another way.

24.From the text, we can know that the Solar Road Panels can _____.

A. provide heat for drivers in winter

B. guide drivers who get lost on the highway

C. melt snow and ice soon in winter

D. help drivers see the road clearly in the sun

25.What is the text mainly about?

A. Functions of the road in the future.

B. Development of solar energy.

$来&源：C. Free energy on the road.

资*源%库 D. Solar road of the future.

   Four benefits of writing by hand
   Today is National Handwriting Day! Although we don’t write like we used to, here are four ways handwriting is still helpful.
   It’s better for learning.
    26  That’s because putting ink to paper stimulates (刺激) the brain.  One study from 2010 found that the brain areas related to learning “lit up” much more when kids were asked to write words like “spaceship” by hand versus just studying the word closely. 
   27
   Many famous authors prefer writing by hand to the use of a typewriter or computer. Writer Susan Sontag once said that she penned her first drafts (草稿) before typing them up for editing later. She said, “28 ” A 2009 study seems to support Sontag’s preference for writing by hand: Elementary school students who wrote essays with a pen not only wrote more than their keyboard-tapping friends, but they also wrote faster and in more complete sentences.  
   It will prevent you from being distracted (分心).
   The computer in front of you is really a distraction. 29 In 2012, scientists even suggested that taking five-minute breaks to browse Tumblr or BuzzFeed could make you a more productive worker. However, when it’s time to work on that essay, have only a pen and paper in front of you.
   It keeps your brain sharp as you get older.
   30 According to The Wall Street Journal, some physicians say that the act of writing is good exercise for those who want to keep their minds sharp as they age.
   A. It makes you a better writer.
   B. Writing is good for your brain.
   C. Of course, the Internet isn’t all bad.
   D. I like the slowness of writing by hand.
   E. Try writing by hand at least 20 minutes each day.
   F. Many writers have a preference for writing by hand.
   G. One of the most effective ways to study is to rewrite your notes by hand.

One possible version: 

Mother Teresa was born in Macedonia on August 26, 1910. When she was young, she studied religion and loved everyone. Later, she went to India and taught Geography there for many years.

In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, which aims to help the poor. Its members are volunteers.

Mother Teresa devoted all her life to taking care of the poor, the sick, the homeless and the dying. That devotion won her respect throughout the world and the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.

In her later life, Mother Teresa suffered greatly from heart disease. She died at 87 on September 5, 1997 in India.
