The teen was abandoned by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee.She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friend’s sofas.

The school bus driver learned about Dawn’s situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School.She worked from 6 a. m.to 7：40 a. m.before the first school bell rang.She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving into her studies in the evenings.

Dawn’s hard work paid off.She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2, 110 on the SAT.

“There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up, ”the 18­year­old said. “But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education.”

Even before Dawn’s family left her, she led a difficult life.Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn “studied by candlelight” because her parents couldn’t afford to pay the electricity bill(电费).

27、   Children love to have pets, and having these furry animals in your family does good to children. Many studies have shown that kids who have pets do better at school because they have higher scores of emotional intelligence(EI)(情商). Here are some of the ways pets can help children develop their EI.

Grow empathy(同情)

Children are naturally empathetic and having pets can develop this. Researchers Nienke Endenburg and Ben Baard wrote a book The Waltham Book of Human-Animal Interaction, which is an overview of scientific studies about raising pets. 【1】. It also shows that even young children who have pets show more empathy towards other animals and people.

Reduce stress

Today, some doctors are writing social prescriptions(处方) to get a pet. Even just petting a dog has been shown to reduce stress in children. 【2】, because they are great listeners.

Raise self-esteem(自尊)

【3】 In fact, the authors said that research “found that children’s self-esteem scores increased greatly over a nine-month period of keeping pets in their school classroom. Besides, it was children with originally low self-esteem scores who showed the greatest improvements.”

【4】

Many parents find it difficult to talk to their kids about sensitive topics like birth, illness, and death. Learning about these through the lives of their furry family members helps make it easier to understand the cycles of life. 【5】, but the authors say it can also be a very valuable learning experience. Children will learn how to deal with feelings of sadness and anger.

A.Help prevent loneliness

B.Teach about life cycle events

C.Animals can provide emotional support for kids

D.Of course, experiencing the death of a beloved pet is difficult for kids

E.Kids who take care of pets feel proud and have a sense of achievement

F.The book shows kids who take care of their pets are more caring than those who don’t

G.Having a pet around also helps children better socialize with other kids of the same age

28、Where Do Mosquitoes(蚊子)Go in Winter?

Why do mosquitoes ,everywhere in warmer months,disappear completely in winter?【1】Mosquitoes are cold-blooded insects, meaning that they don’t like the cold and prefer temperatures that are 80 degrees .Fahrenheit or more. When the temperature drops, they actually lose their ability to fly and become motionless.

【2】They would never be able to fly far enough. The actual answer to the question is different for male and female mosquitoes. Male mosquitoes? They die. But that’s not just because of the cold. Male mosquitoes have far shorter lifespans(寿命) than females, and they die in autumn.

Female mosquitoes, though, can live through the winter. They hibernate (冬眠). In autumn, the females will go into hollow logs or cracks in the ground and enter this still state.【3】They put off their development, typically for months.

When it warms up again, the females will come out from hibernation. At this point, they’re getting ready to lay their eggs and they need as much blood as possible to help the eggs develop. The females must find a blood meal to provide the protein(蛋白质) needed by their eggs to develop, just in the time, when humans are outdoors in short sleeves enjoying the warming weather.【4】

It actually doesn’t have to be what we humans would consider “cold” to put a mosquito in danger. While these pests live actively when it’s around 80 degrees F, most species can start heading into hibernation when it drops to around 50.【5】This is when female mosquitoes start looking for a place for sleep.

A．The obvious answer is that it’s cold.

B．Now it’s time for male mosquitoes to wake up.

C．It’s only the female mosquitoes that are biting you.

D．Unlike birds,mosquitoes don’t fly south for the winter.

E．Anything below 50 degrees is already too cold for most mosquitoes.

F．They carry on with life only when there is enough water for their needs.

G．They can hibernate for up to six months in freezing or waterless conditions.

29、Are you driven to create change in bettering kids’ futures? Here are a few options.

Education

Going after a career in education is sometimes overlooked. Yet teaching is an important path to creating change. You will educate the young minds responsible for the future. In addition to presenting basic school subjects, you can teach them to be leaders. You can motivate them to want to make a difference themselves.

A career in education doesn’t have to mean leaching in a classroom. You can help them to learn in a way that works for them and be a friend to them as well.

Social work

As a social worker, you can directly change the lives of children in need as well advocate for services for drug abusers, family-violence survivors, mental-health patients, and more. You will provide them with the necessary resources to succeed and advise them through trauma (精神创伤), unemployment, education difficulties, addiction and poverty.

Many social workers are associated with governmental agencies, but there are also jobs in schools, nonprofit organizations and hospitals.

Child psychology

Studying child psychology may lead to a career option. Psychologists can provide support for children with mental-health problems and give them a place to be open about their feelings.

You may wish to become a school psychologist and guide children (and their parents) through the education system while dealing with mental illness or trauma. As a psychologist, you will help your patients find the source of trauma or stress and discover ways of reducing or removing the problem. You may even conduct your own research on new treatment methods.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

NASA is on a journey to Mars, with a goal of sending humans to the Red Planet in the 2030s. That journey is already well under way.

For decades, the agency and its partners have sent orbiters, landers and rovers（探测器）, 【1】 increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way for future human explorers. The Curiosity rover has gathered radiation data to help us protect future astronauts, and the upcoming Mars 2020 rover will study the 【2】 of Martian resources, including oxygen.

Building on the robotic legacy（遗产）, the human exploration of Mars crosses three thresholds（门槛）, each with 【3】 challenges as humans move farther from Earth: Earth Reliant, the Proving Ground, and Earth Independent.

Earth Reliant explorations is 【4】 on research aboard the International Space Station. The orbiting microgravity laboratory serves as a world - class test bed for the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions to deep space. Astronauts are learning about what it takes to live and work in space for long periods of time, improving our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronauts' health.

Next, we move into the Proving Ground, 【5】 a series of missions near the moon called “cislunar space” to test the capabilities we will need to live and work at Mars. Astronauts on the space station are only hours away from Earth, but the proving ground is days away, a(n) 【6】 stepping stone to a Mars mission, which will be months away from home.

Also in the 2020s, we’ll send astronauts on a year-long mission into this deep space proving ground, confirming habitation and testing our 【7】 for Mars.

Finally, we become Earth Independent, building on the knowledge 【8】 on the space station and in deep space to send humans to low-Mars orbit in the early 2030s.

This phase will also test the entry, descent（降落）and landing techniques needed to get to the Martin surface and study what's needed for in-situ resource utilization or "living off the land". NASA is already studying the 【9】 "Exploration Zones" on Mars that would offer compelling science research and provide resources our astronauts can use.

There are challenges to 【10】 Mars, but we know they are solvable. We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.

32、认真阅读下面的图表与文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Significant numbers of high school students are receiving additional assistance from tutors. That requires a measure of time, commitment and sometimes a lot of money.

Tutors may be good for improving test scores, but they may harm a lot if students become overly dependent on tutors. Tutors’ role should be one of assessment, monitoring and assistance, not to take over and perfect. Tutors may be used to “bridge the gap”, but the responsibility stays on the student to take an active role in mastering the content and skills required for success.

I know kids who refuse to open their textbooks before the tutor gets in the house. Now I want to ask you a question: are you improving your study skills and developing learning intelligence with the “help” of your tutors?
