21、How to deal with bullies
Bullying is really common. In a study of young people in the UK aged 12–20, half of them said they had been bullied. About 1.5 million young people in the UK were bullied last year, and many of these were bullied every day. 【1】
What is bullying?
Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. 【2】 Another type of bullying is social―choosing not to include someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends with them. Bullying can happen at school, on public transport, when you’re walking home, online ... in fact, it can happen anywhere.
The roles kids play
Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. Sometimes other people help the bully or join in. 【3】 They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it’s important for everyone to work together against bullying. To stop bullying we need everyone to be brave and take a stand.
How to help
【4】This group can do many things. Let the head teacher know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice. Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or take over the school’s social media for a week to send out anti-bullying messages. Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society―in other words, everyone. 【5】 Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening―tell an adult as soon as possible and help everyone to realize that bullying is not OK.
A.Most bullied people are aged between 12 and 20.
B.Why don’t you create a student anti-bullying group?
C.Physical bullying is more likely to happen to boys.
D.Next time you see someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand!
E.Bullying can also be with words―saying or writing things that are not nice.
F.People who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety.
G.They don’t bully anyone directly but support the bullying by being an audience.
22、Vaccines(疫苗) may soon make their first film appearance. Led by expert Maria A. Croyle, researchers have developed a thin sheet that preserves vaccines for long periods without refrigeration. This means the carefully cooled small bottles now used to ship vaccines could potentially be replaced by lightweight films that can be mailed in an envelope and stored on a shelf.
Croyle’s laboratory began developing the technology in 2007. Inspired by amber’s ability to preserve the DNA of insects, the researchers set out to create their own version of the substance by mixing “a lot of sugar and a little bit of salt, much like hard candy,” Croyle explains. The vaccine-containing film is administered by mouth—sweet news for many who dislike needles.
The film is tailored to suit each specific vaccine candidate and provide a protective coating. “We’ve learned over time that the key to really stabilizing whatever the film holds is to have it intermixed with all the components,” Croyle says, adding that the process is quick and uses affordable, standard equipment. “We really wanted to come up with something that would be transferable to developing countries.”
Immunization(免疫) programs depend heavily on keeping vaccines cold(2℃-8℃) as they are transported, sometimes over thousands of kilometers to far-away locations. Delivery can be difficult and costly, and transport disruptions can cause the vaccines to be ineffective.
But this new product can store live viruses, bacteria and antibodies for several months at 20℃. In a paper published in Science Advances, the scientists show that the live viruses in one vaccine were preserved in the film even after 36 months. They also find that a flu vaccine suspended in their film compares favourably with a traditional flu shot(流感预防针). “The study demonstrates early proof of concept for an exciting platform for vaccine product development,” says Lisa Rohan, a pharmacologist, who was not involved in the study. She also notes that each vaccine type would need a custom formulation(配方) for future stages of development.
Finding partners to mass-produce for clinical trials is the researchers’ most pressing problem, Croyle says. They are also exploring packaging methods to keep their films stable up to 40℃.
Size is a major advantage—a letter-sized sheet of the film can carry more than 500 doses(剂) of vaccine, about 1⁄900 the weight of the same amount of traditional doses. By making it easier and cheaper to ship and preserve vaccines efficiently, Croyle says, the technology could vastly improve immunization rates the world over, particularly in middle- to low- income countries.
【1】What can we learn about the film?
A.It contains animal’s DNA.
B.It will replace vaccines.
C.It comes in different flavours.
D.It can hold bio-products.
【2】According to Paragraph 3, we can learn about the film’s ________.
A.key component
B.development schedule
C.possible advantages
D.transportation requirements
【3】The author mentions Lisa Rohan’s words to ________.
A.advise personalizing vaccines
B.suggest the product is promising
C.prove the study is supported widely
D.stress the functions of a new platform
【4】What will be the next urgent task for Croyle’s team?
A.Advertising the film worldwide.
B.Improving the film’s capacity.
C.Reducing the shipping cost.
D.Seeking ideal manufacturers.
23、Pottery (制陶) may be the oldest artwork of human beings. As far back to more than 8, 000 years ago, people began mixing clay and water then baking it until it held its shape. People attached the word “pottery” to their discovery. For a more convenient and better life, ancient people used it to create various containers and tools to cook, to store things, and to hold cuisine or water as dishes.
As time passed, the technique became mature. Different kinds of pottery appeared in different times and regions. Yangshao Culture, 5, 000-7, 000 years ago to today, developed a technique for painted ceramic wares (陶器). Qujialing Culture and Longshan Culture, about 4, 000 years ago, were known for their black ceramic wares. During the Shang Dynasty (16th -11th century BC) bronze containers grew into somewhat of a status symbol; common people, though, still used traditional clay ceramic wares. From the Warring States Period through the Han Dynasty, the art and culture of pottery boomed. The Terra Cotta Warriors, discovered in Xi'an, are the finest representatives of artworks of that time.
A representative example of pottery is the tricolor glazed pottery of the Tang Dynasty(618-907), known as Tangsancai in Chinese. The pottery would appear to. be light yellow, reddish brown, or light green but the most popular were those of yellow, brown and green. The sculpture of figures, animals or daily appliances was amazingly in accord with the characteristics of Tang art -graceful and lively. Preferred by many foreigners to the region, such pottery had been transported worldwide.
Another choice pottery that won great reputation for hundreds of years is purple clay pottery. It is well- known for its mild color, concentrated structure, high intensity and fine particles (微粒). As early as the Song Dynasty (960-1279), people found purple-clay teapots to look much more graceful than those of other materials. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, tea developed as a simple and tasteful art. Modem people still delight in this classic fashion ideal.
【1】Why was pottery originally used?
A.To add more to farm took.
B.To mark private properties.
C.To build up a stock of food.
D.To enhance the quality of life.
【2】When could pottery be used to identify one’s social status?
A.Around 6, 000 years ago.
B.During the Shang Dynasty.
C.From the Warring States Period.
D.Throughout the Han Dynasty.
【3】What can be known about Tangsancai from Paragraph 3?
A.It combined pottery with typical Tang art.
B.It represented common people’s daily life.
C.It adopted the most popular three colors.
D.It was well-received by all foreigners.
【4】The text is mainly written to ______.
A.explain why pottery was created
B.display fine examples of ancient pottery

26、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。
For years, I posted pictures of my grandson, cute animals and delicious dishes, and video clips of people’s funy behaviour and the like on Facebook. Moreover, I played a farm game or two on this popular social media site. I thought Facebook was for fun, but I never expected a post I saw on Facebook could have a significant impact on my life.
On November 12th, 2010, I was on my way to a conference by plane. Suddenly, I suffered a heart attack. Luckily, there were three doctors on board. In less than a minute, I was given first aid. I survived, but months later, I was still trying to come to terms with what had happened. So I began to record how I survived this incident as well as my ideas about life on Facebook daily, and started to care about Facebook posts that had nothing to do with fun.
One morning on March, 2011, I looked through my Facebook feed and saw a friend’s post. She wrote, “Let go of anything unrealistic and all activities that do not mirror your brightest intentions for yourself.” The words touched me greatly. That night, I copied them onto a clean piece of paper and taped it to my laptop.
Actually, I was crazy about farm games then. I, along with many of my friends, played FarmVille. But one little farm game was not enough for me. I thought I needed more farms, more crops, and more livestock. All were in virtual form,of course. I had five different farms in five different games. And I spent hours on my farms every day. While attending to my virtual farms one day I looked out of the window and noticed the empty land in our backyard.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I looked at the words on the piece of paper taped to my laptop, lost in thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Farming the real land was only the beginning, and I started to do more to enrich my real life.
