Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American writer, poet and cartoonist. He was most widely known for his children's books written and illustrated as Dr Seuss. He had used the pen name Dr. Theophrastus Seuss in college and later used Theo LeSieg and Rosetta Stone.

Geisel published 46 children's books, often characterized by imaginative characters, thyme and frequent use of anapestic (抑抑杨格的) meter. His most-celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, and How the

Grinch Stole Christmas. His works have been made into numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York City newspaper. During World War II, he worked in an animation (动画制作) department of the United States Army, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

He was a perfectionist in his work and would sometimes spend up to a year on a book. It was not uncommon for him to throw out 95% of his material until he settled on a theme for his book. For a writer, he was unusual in that he preferred to be paid only after he finished his work rather than in advance.

Geisel attended Dartmouth College, graduating in 1925. While at Dartmouth, Geisel was caught drinking with nine friends in his room. As a result, Dean Craven Laycock insisted that he relinquish all extracurricular (课外的) activities, including the college humor magazine. To continue work without the dean's knowledge, Geisel began signing his work with the pen name “Seuss”. Geisel was encouraged in his writing by Professor W. Benfield Pressey, whom he described as his “big inspiration for writing” at Dartmouth.

Have you ever taken an IQ test? I did it once when I entered college, and again many years later. You find questions such as “what number comes next in this sequence?” and “which word is not like the others?”I'm sure the test has value in some ability, but I wonder how those particular questions could determine my intellectual worth.

Now think about a classroom full of thirty students. Yes, they might all be in the sixth grade, but their talents are different from one another. Do you honestly believe that one test can tell the entire story of each of them? Each of them has particular skills, often with little in common. One person may be blessed with a natural understanding of math, another can know more about a car engine, while a third is a piano lover. Which one is the smartest one?

Too many kids who fail in IQ test do not do well in their studies because they've been told they're “not gifted”. They are hurt by the IQ test, which ruins their confidence and stops their natural intellectual curiosity and growth. The truth is that there are many different varieties of intelligence. Help young people become the best version of themselves and be grateful for the differences. My experience tells me that effort and ingenuity mean so much more. Giving kids a well-rounded education is extremely important; recognizing that each child has a unique and inventive(有创造力的) “gift” is also foremost, for them and for the rest of us.

Let's challenge the “gift and talented" students to explore beyond their natural skills. At the same time, let's help the academically-struggling students to discover their special talents, and to recognize that their versions of smart may look nothing like those of other students. Remember that it is how much effort one will make and how determined one will be that matter most.

36. What does the writer think of the IQ test?

A. It has no value at all.

B. It depends on one's nature.

C. It is of use in some fields.

D. It is false and very funny.

37. In the writer's opinion one's talent ___________.

A. is shown by his studies

B. has much in common

C. is easy to be found out

D. is various and different

38. The kids who fail in an IQ test do not study well because they are ________.

A. foolish compared with others

B. looked down upon by teachers

C. not good at taking examinations

D. not confident after the IQ test

39. What does the underlined word “foremost” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Understandable.

B. Considerate.

C. Useful.

D. Important.

40. We can learn from this passage that ________.

A. the writer has only taken the IQ test once

B. one's effort and determination are the most important

C. the special education is the most important

D. it is not good for people to have different intelligence

D

Do you have a dog? If you do, do you know what your dog is trying to tell you when it is barking? Probably not. What if your dog could greet you with more than barking, or tell you the reason why he's looking out of the door? It sounds crazy and much like the storyline from the Pixar film Up, but some scientists are working to develop a headset that could soon allow your hairy best friend to speak his mind.

The Nordic Society for Invention and Discovery is the organization that has developed “No More Woof”—technology that aims to recognize dogs' thought patterns and then turn them into short sentences through a microphone. “The brainwaves (脑电波) differ quite a lot from different races as well as individual dogs,” NSID writes on their website. “However, it is possible to find some common patterns and we have no doubt that in the future this technology will open up a new era of communication between dogs and humans, or animals in general and humans.”

The research team, who had brought the world such inventions as the pet flying carpet, explained the most recent project on their website. “No More Woof is the result of combining the latest technologies in three different tech-areas —EEG sensors (传感器), micro computing and

special software,”the researchers wrote. The operating system relies on sensors in the headset which notice electric signals in the dog's brainwaves. Technology from a processing device built in the headset then analyses the signal patterns and translates them into feelings like anger, curiosity or tiredness. Sentences such as “I'm hungry, but I don't like this!” or “I'm curious who that is.” will be programmed into the device.

English translations will be available, while Putonghua, French and Spanish language headsets are on the way, the researchers say. The headsets are, however, available for pre-purchase on a website as part of the research funding, with three different versions that range in functionality and price, from $65 for the micro to $300 for the standard version or $1,200 for the superior customizable (可定做的) version.

41. The author asks three questions at the beginning of the text to _________.

A. introduce the topic of the text

B. let the readers answer them

C. tell you something about dogs

D. persuade you to take care of your dog

42. What is the NSID's attitude toward No More Woof?

A. Unknown.

B. Worried.

C. Positive.

D. Uninterested.

43. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. How No More Woof works.

B. How technology helps people.

C. Why No More Woof is important.

D. How people communicate with dogs.

44. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The most expensive headsets cost $1,200

B. A Putonghua version of the headset is available.

C. The headsets can be bought in supermarkets.

D. The research funding is all gained from the pre-purchase.

45. The writer writes the passage to _________.

A. help us know dogs better

B. advertise a product designed by his company

C. show the importance of technology

D. introduce a new device related to dogs

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

I believe that what we often call survival skills is simply creativity at work. When I think about how my mother fed all seven of us, making us think that every day was a “different meal”, I still appreciate how much a creative cook can do with a single potato. Happy children are those given the freedom to be expressive, to discover and to create their own works.

The highest quality of life is full of art and creative expression and that all people deserve it. I believe in a broad definition of what art is and who artists are: barbers, cooks, sellers, and gardeners can also be artists just as designers, architects, painters, and sculptors. Every day, our streets and school buses become art galleries.

Many of life's challenges need creative solutions. I believe creativity —in all its many forms —can change the way we think and operate. Celebrating the creativity around us helps us become clever and keeps us happy.

On March 1st, 2014, there were hundreds of people attending a special event in a small town of Welsh, UK. A team successfully baked a giant cake weighing 21.5kg and measuring 1.5m in diameter, breaking the Guinness World Records. Cut into over 200 pieces, the cake was sold for 800 euros which was donated to a charity organization. Thanks to the town’s great support, the event was a great success, and the team hopes to hold another amazing event like this next year. Obviously, it’s proved that such a success results from the whole team’s efforts and that all their hard work has been rewarded.

读写任务(One possible version)

The author thinks that creativity exists in our daily work. Our ordinary workers are actually creative artists. So we should greatly encourage creativity for our wise and happy life.

The importance of creativity in our perso nal life can’t be underestimated. Creativity is a part of who we are and how we express ourselves in everyday life. Undoubtedly, creativity will greatly impact our learning, relationships and careers.

Creativity needs encouragement and education to foster. Meanwhile, it is of great importance for people to find the best way to express and practice their creative ideas. For example, artists use creativity to express their ideas and visions through painting and photography. Dancers use interpretation to express and convey creativity to an audience. Hair stylists use a persona to create individual styles.

The above list can go on indefinitely and show that creativity is closely related to our daily life. So we should attach much importance to developing creativity which is a must in our school.
