11．I became a magician by accident．When I was nine years old，I learned how to make a coin disappear．I'd read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of spells （魔法） -nine being that curious age at which you're old enough to work through more than 1，200 pages of mysterious fantasy literature but young enough to still hold out hope that you might find a book of real，actual magic in the library．The book I found instead taught basic sleight-of-hand technique，and I devoted the next months to practice．
Initially，the magic wasn't any good．At first it wasn 't even magic；it was just a trick-a bad trick．I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror．I dropped the coin over and over，a thousand times in a day，and after two weeks of this my mom got a carpet sample from the store and placed it under the mirror to eliminate the sound of the coin falling again and again．
I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano，so I knew how to practice-slowly，deliberately，going for precision rather than speed．And then I tried the illusion（J幻覺）in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place．It did not look like a magic trick．It looked like a miracle．I knew that I had got what I wanted．
One day I made the performance on the playground．We had been playing football and were standing by the backstop in the field behind the school．A dozen people were watching．I showed the coin to everyone．Then it disappeared．The kids screamed．They yelled，laughed，scrambled away．Everyone went crazy．This was great．

D．It 's wonderful組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
12．Some caterpillars' warning signals（信號）may have evolved（進化）from walking.
A team，writing in the journal Nature Communications，reported that the hair-like structures the living things use to make sounds evolved from legs.
The team studied caterpillars which use these structures to communicate their ownership of leaves.This means the caterpillars are able to"tell"strangers to go away without risking injury in fighting."These are really interesting caterpillars，"said Dr.Jayne Yack from Carleton University in Ottawa，Canada，who led the research."They make signals using hair-like structures which are on their back ends."
The caterpillars drag these structures across the leaf to make scraping（刺耳的）sounds when strangers enter the area of their leaves."When they make this signal，the strangers leave，"explained Dr.Yack."It's like saying'I'm here，get out of here-I already own this leaf '."
The scientists looked at other species（物種）within the same group of caterpillars and created their"family tree".They used chemical markers（標記物）to work out the relationship between the animals，showing which in the group were the more ancient species and which species evolved more recently."Those more ancient species actually don't have these sound-producing structures.They have legs that they use to walk towards strangers，"said Dr.Yack.These more ancient species，she explained，walk towards strangers and try to fight against them."They can kill each other in the fighting，"Dr.Yack added.She said that the evolution of the scraping show had allowed the caterpillars to solve their fighting without injury."So our idea is that these signals actually avoid harm to both sides-they solve fighting in a more' friendly' way."
The study also provides a map of an evolutionary process that many other biologists are researching.
（1）What can we learn about caterpillars' warning structures from the text？
A．They have the same use as hair.
B．They are found in caterpillars' heads.
C．They are used to fight against strangers.
D．They may have evolved from caterpillars' legs.
（2）According to the text，Dr.Yack's team did NOT.
A．draw a family tree of caterpillars
B．create a map to show how caterpillars evolve
C．study species within the same group of caterpillars
D．make clear the relationship between different species of caterpillars
（3）What does the underlined word"They"in the fifth paragraph refer to？
A．The ancient species.
B．The chemical markers.
C．The sound-producing structures.
D．The more recently evolved species.
（4）What is the main idea of the text？
A．How caterpillars evolved.
B．How caterpillars warn strangers.
C．Communication between caterpillars.
D．Caterpillars' warning signals evolved from walking.組卷：14引用：2難度：0.5 -
13．I am an ordinary 17-year-old girl.I go to school，chat to my friends and play my guitar.I don't have much in my mind.At least，that's what most people thjye.aik.In fact，life changed drastically （巨大地） for me and my family in the summer of 2011，when I was 10.It was a beautiful summer's day when my dad had his accident.He had gone out for a bike ride and seemed to be taking a lot longer than usual.When Mum called him to check if everything was all right，a nurse answered the phone.I was inside the house and could hear her speaking to someone in the garden.As I looked out of the door.
