Five years ago,Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱),making it difficult to use her left leg.The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming.
Yellow—Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic,Connecticut.African penguins are an endangered species.They are beautiful,black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown,and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors.
The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow—Purple from plastic.This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do.Yellow—Purple was
getting along fine with her boot,but then Dr.Jen Flower,Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium,heard about 3 D printing technology.She decided to use it to help better the boot.
Luckily,Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education &Conservation,Kelly Marls,knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer.Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting.Sue Prince,Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School,and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed,and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer,ACT D.A software that can design

We spend a third of our adult lives working and another big part preparing for our careers.Historically,work was rarely seen as a source of meaning and purpose.During the vast majority of our 300,000-year human evolution(进化),work was in fact pretty simple.We worked to eat and avoid being eaten.Meaning and purpose came from somewhere else,like spirituality,art,religion,or science.
Group.
With ACT Group’s help,the students learned how to scan Yellow—Purple’s existing foot cast,then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software.The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials,allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement,yet hard enough to support the injured tendon.
The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow—Purple walking almost back to normal.It was a great way to put science into practice.Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow—Purple’s story on Facebook,inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views. 4.What can we learn about African penguins?

The idea that we are meant to find meaning at work or to find work meaningful—is a rather modern,if not postmodern,invention.Only one hundred years ago it would have been frequent to see a worker who returned from a typical workday at a factory complain to their folks that they didn’t earn much or they were worn out and rare to see that they complain they didn’t experience a sense of purpose.
Similarly,the idea that we ought to bring our“whole self”to work is a pretty novel and recent form of career advice.Its origins can be traced to William Kahn who invented the concept of employee engagement 30 years ago.His point was that employees differ in the degree to which they identify with their work role.Some see work as merely a job and clock in and out every day,without bringing their whole self to work.Work is just not a core aspect of their identity,and their concept of themselves is built on other social categories like mother,husband,American,Christian,captain of the local soccer team,etc.
Others,however,have very low psychological distance with their work role,seeing it as essentially intertwined(交融的)with who they are.They don’t just come to work,they are fully devoted to their careers and have a spiritual type of connection with their jobs.They are,it seems,almost possessed by work and are the type of workaholics(工作狂)most companies long for. 8.Why did we spend much of our adult lives working? A.To prepare for future careers. B.To find the water sources. C.To help us evolve.
D.To make us survive.
9.Why did the writer mention the worker a century,ago? A.To help us find meaning at work. B.To prove that the idea was modern. C.To show us the bad old days.
D.To complain about the experience.
10.Which of the following might William Kahn agree with? A.Employees have different understandings about their work role. B.Every employee must bring their whole self to work. C.To be devoted to work is a pretty novel idea. D.Workers’core identity is built on art categories. 11.What kind of employees do most companies favour? A.Those who see work as a job.
B.Those who identify with their work role. C.Those who are fully devoted to their work. D.Those who possess experience.

Wearing a headset to play a virtual-reality game is fun.As you move your head around,you can see the scene from different angles.You’re in a fake environment that seems so real.But the power of VR may go well beyond entertainment.It just might help people who suffer from long time of pain,a new study finds.
“If VR can reduce some types of pain,it could become a new cure with fewer side effects than drugs,”says Sam Hughes,a psychologist at Imperial College London.“And it would be 1ess expensive.”
Hughes’group studies bone and muscle pain.One example is sciatica.Sciatica is a form of pain doctors call chronic pain,which is different from the hurt you feel when you hit your knee against a table or put your hand in very hot water.It is fairly long-1ived pain and may even spread from an initial site to other body parts.
The researchers tested the pain-altering effect of virtual reality.Each volunteer accepted some form of temporary pain.The pain came from a special cream applied to the skin.The cream contained capsaicin.It’the chemical in hot peppers that burns your mouth.
They then showed the volunteers a movie.Each volunteer would see the movie twice—once in 3D,while wearing a VR headset,and once on a normal 2 D screen.The researchers randomly decided for each volunteer whether they watched the 2D or 3D version first.Using the 2D movie as the comparison allowed

them to isolate the effect of VR.Watching the movie in VR reduced the pain in the skin area better than did viewing the movie in 2D.VR helped them tolerate more pain in the area of the creamed skin.However,that pain reduction ended a few minutes after removing the VR headsets.The researchers wondered how well VR might reduce other types of pain.
12.What’s one of the advantages of VR to reduce pain? A.It’s much safer. B.It’s more convenient. C.It’s much faster.
D.It’s more efficient.
13.What does the underlined word chronic mean in Paragraph 3? A.sudden
B.1ong-term
C.1ight
D.sharp
14.Why was the special cream used in the experiment? A.To find chemicals in hot peppers. B.To bring comfort to volunteers.
C.To burns the volunteers’mouth. D.To cause some temporary pain.
15.How was the test carried out? A.By giving numbers. B.By using examples.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By presenting research findings.

Life in Death Valley
Death Valley is a huge place,extending more than 225 kilometers across the southern part of California into the neighboring state of Nevada.As beautiful as this place is,its name provides evidence of very real danger.
16 It has nearly 1.4 million hectares of desert and mountains that reach more than 3,000 meters into the sky.Death Valley can be dangerously cold during the winter months.Storms in the mountains can cause sudden floods on the floor of the valley.But,during summer months,the air temperature has been as high as 57 degrees Celsius.17 The extreme heat of Death Valley has once killed people.
In many areas of Death Valley,it is easy to see where the ground has been pushed up violently by movement deep in the Earth.This has created unusual and beautiful rock formations,with colors of
red,brown,gray,yellow and black.In other parts of Death Valley,there are lines in the rock. The lines are evidence of the past presence of water.18 . Much of Death Valley is flat and extremely dry.In some areas the ground is nothing but salt.However,it would be wrong to think that nothing lives in Death Valley. 19 Wildflowers grow very quickly after even a small amount of rain.Several kinds of birds live in Death Valley.Visitors might see the dog-1ike animal blanket.

“I’m not going until I get my wife’s picture.”I said.“It’s in the gas mask cover you 31 from me.”I called the coyote,or wild bighorn sheep,or other animals like the desert tortoise.
Throughout history,Native Americans found ways to survive in Death Valley.Rock art and other remains show that humans lived in the valley as far back as 9,000 years ago.Nowadays,more than one million people visit it each year. 20 The sun slowly turns the valley a gold color that deepens to a soft brown,then changes to a dark red.As night comes,the mountains turn a dark purple color,then black.

B.The setting sun is visitors’favorite. C.Images here seem to change each minute.
D.Death Valley,is a place of strange and silent beauty. E.Death Valley doesn’t forgive those who are not careful. F.Death Valley is a land of beautiful yet dangerous extremes. G.The area was deep under an ocean for many thousands of years. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分) 第一节(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)

“There’s no place like home.”This English saying has much truth in it：the best place 36
(surround)by our loved ones and with a roof over our head.And for many young adults,it’s the only affordable place to stay：somewhere where they can receive first—class service 37 mum and dad.But this comes at a price!
In some countries.it’s quite traditional for people in their late 38 (teen)and early 20s to live at home with their parents,but in other places,flying the nest to start their own 39 (depend)life is very desirable.Without complaining,you can come and go 40 you wish.But there’s been a growing trend,in the people went to the park each year,and Gross wanted to be part of that club.Chase did,too,but she worried about hiking in polar bear country.
Two Sierra Club guides were the leaders.Gross,then 60,worked for a housing nonprofit in San Francisco.Chase,59,a medical consultant from North Carolina.The pair had guided 13 trips together.Joining them were Larry,63,a New York City lawyer；Frankel,65,an exercise physiologist(生理学者)from Oregon；Dyer,48,a legal aid lawyer from Maine；and Isenberg,55,a physician from Arizona.Chase’s UK at least,for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at a11.According to a survey,about a quarter of young adults 41 (age)20-34 live at home,and that figure has been growing.
Many returning adult children enjoy home comforts.These include cooked meals,a full fridge and cleaning,as well as their bills being covered by what is 42 (common)called“the hotel of mum and dad”.But for the“hoteliers”,mum and dad,the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply,and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays 43 (look)after their“big kids”.
With parents spending around￡1,886 on takeaway food,44 (buy)new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their children,it’s easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home.That’s before they learn 45 home truth—that one day it might be their own kids who’11 be checking into the hotel of mum and dad! 第三部分 写作(共两节,满分40分) 第一节(满分15分)

husband,Mendez,63,a quality—improvement consultant,would be joining them as well.
On Sunday,July 21,2013,a floatplane carrying the Club party went down toward the eastern shore of the Torngats.The first thing the group did was set up camp 150 yards from the shore.At 4 a.m.,Mendez stepped out of his tent—and saw that they weren’t alone.“Polar bear on the beach!”he yelled.A mother and her cub(崽)were walking along the shore in the early-morning light.
Over dinner,they laughed,sharing stories of their past trips and lives back home.They didn’t talk much about the bear that was observing them.It seemed almost like a piece of the landscape—just another detail in the impressive setting.Mendez felt reassured by their bear interactions that day.The mother and cub weren’t interested in them.But Dyer couldn’t shake his unease.“Why don’t we post a watch?”he asked.But Gross wasn’t worried.“That’s what the fence is for.”he told Dyer.
They fell asleep listening to the waves.At 3：30 a.m..Chase woke to screams.From the window of her tent,she saw a polar bear a few feet away.It was down on all fours,eyes level with her,huge and white except for the black of its eyes and nose.“Gross!”she screamed.The bear tore at a neighboring tent and dragged something into the darkness.Gross grabbed his flare gun,ran out in his long underwear,and aimed at the bear.The animal was 75 feet away,heading west.
Paragraph 1：He saw that what was in the bear’s mouth was not a thing at all—it was Dyer. Paragraph 2：The bear dropped Dyer hard and fled. 注意：
