This year it falls on March 8.Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well-known phrase g oes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”The festival celebrates ancient agrarian Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others continue to exist.The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck.Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once a tradition to line up outside barber shops on the day of Longtaitou.People eat toufu balls in East China’s Fujian province during th e festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating Chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tr adition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu province, owing to the saying, “If you eat C hengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won't hurt all year.”Meanwhile other foods, like dumplings, spring rolls and popcorn, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are dragon’s beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon’s ears (long er), spring rolls are dragon’s scales (long lin), and popcorn dragon seeds (long zi).4. What did ancient people believe after Dragon-Head-Raising Festival?A. The dragon lifts his head.B. There’s more rainfall.C. The dragon is still sleeping.D. There’s less rainfall.5.

Cut your hairs on China's Longtaitou Festival.C. The culture and traditions of China's Longtaitou Festival.D. Food about China's Longtaitou Festival.CEvery day, Americans throw away 500 million plastic straws, enough to circle the Earth twice, or fill 125 school buses. Made from fossil fuels, they are almost never recycled because they're too small and could be made from several different types of plastic. They simply contribute to the massive problem of plastic pollution. Eight million tons of plastic is dumped into the oceans every year.Plastic straws are now the target of a growing movement to reduce their use. Possibly the first of such campaigns, Be Straw Free was started in 2011 by Milo Cress, who was only nine years old at the time. “I noticed that whenever I ordered a drink at a restaurant it would usually come with a straw in it, and I don't usually need a straw,”he said. “This seemed like a huge waste.”Cress started asking restaurants in Burlington, Vermont, where he lived at the time, to stop providing straws automatically to customers and make them optional instead. Many agreed and his request had an effect nationwide.The anti-straw campaign has crossed borders into the UK, where straws have been included in a government plan to ban all plastic waste by 2042.Offering alternatives or making plastic straws optional, rather than banning them completely, is a common characteristic among these campaigns. “We do not want to make people feel bad for needing or even wanting to use a straw in their drink,” said Jackie Nunez, founder of The Last Plastic Straw. “There are many other practical alternatives to single-use plastic drinking straws that are less harmful to the environment, wildlife and humans.” she said.Some people use straws to reduce the damage of sugary or acidic drinks to their teeth, or due to special requirements. By not regarding the straw as an evil, Cress says, “I am not out to ban straws. I think it's much more effective to encourage people to make the choice not to use them. V oluntary participation encourages people to spread the word. Forcing people to do things is not always the most effective way to make a change.”8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Plastic straws are not worth recycling.B. Small plastic straws are a serious problem.C. Eight million tons of plastic are recycled from straws.D. Americans like to transport plastic straws in school buses.9. Which one of the following statements about Milo Cress is true?A. He founded Be Straw Free to ban plastic straws.B. He expected England to ban all plastic waste by 2042.C. He asked American restaurants to stop providing straws.D. He may be the first to launch activities for using less straws.10. What’s Jackie’s attitude toward banning straws totally?A. Tolerant.B. Sympathetic.C. Approving.D. Opposed.11. What can we learn from Cress’s words in the last paragraph?A. Straws are healthy to our teeth.B. It is a better goal to forbid using plastic straws.C. Whether plastic straws are used depends on customers.D. People need to be forced to give up using plastic straws.DEven the calm assessment of the UN’s latest annual world “water development report” has a taste of desperation. Already, it notes, 1.9bn people, with 73% of them in Asia, live in areas where water is potentially severely limited. The number facing shortages almost doubles if you count those at risk at least one month a year. And they will not just be in poor countries. Australia, Italy, Spain and even America will also suffer severe water shortage.Three main things will drive the continued growth in demand: population, climate change and agriculture. In 2050 the number of people in the world is expected to increase to between 9.4bn and 10.2bn, from just under 8bn now. People will be leading more water-consuming lifestyles and move into cities, many of them in places at great risk of water shortage.The impact of climate change, in the words of Henk Ovink, a Dutch government’s official on water matters, will be “Wet places will become wetter and dry places drier”. The world’s water distribution is already highly unequal. Climate change will worsen this inequity.Measurements of sea temperatures down to 2,000 metres show a steady rise since the 1950s, to new records. The rising temperatures are accompanied by rising sea levels—at a rate of about 3mm a year—as the warmer water expands, and as ice at both poles melts. And warmer air temperatures mean the atmosphere can hold more water that eventually falls as rain.The bigger problem from climate change, however, will not be too much water but too little. As a report by the World Bank puts it: “The impacts of water shortage may be even greater, causing long-term harm in ways that are poorly understood and inadequately documented.” Of course, a lot depends on how much the climate changes and how fast.12. What may be the number of the people who face water shortage for at least one month a year?A. About 1.9bnB. About 1.4bnC. About 3.7bnD. About 5.5bn13. What can we infer about the year 2050?A. The problem of water shortage will no longer exist.B. The world population will increase to between 9bn and 10bn.C. Almost all the developed countries will suffer severe water shortage.D. Many people will have to reduce their water consumption.14. What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. Climate change brings too much water.B. Sea temperatures have been rising steadily recently.C. The problem of water shortage is greater due to climate change.D. Rising sea levels and more rain mean no more water shortage.15. The next paragraph in this passage might discuss __________.A. How to solve the problem of water shortage.B. How agriculture influences water demand.C. What damage water shortage has caused.D. Why it is important to control population growth.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She was known around theworld for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in theblack community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skillwas more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert atthe language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is calledBronzeville. It was A Street in Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945.

Its main ideas about the difficult life of many w omen a re popular among f emale writers today.In some of her poems, Gwendolyn Brooks described how what people see in life is affected by who they are. One example is this poem, Corners on the Curing Sky.By the end of the 1960s, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.24.What does the text mainly talk about?A. The life of Gwendolyn Brooks.B. The understanding about black culture.C.

Luckily, this coffee-brewing alarm clock could make those few strugglingminutes practically disappear.An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists, and you can buy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never bethe same.Here’s how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water andpour ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker?Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin tobrew your coffee. And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm ringsand you open your eyes. You won’t even have to leave your bed.London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over $500,000 through donations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order onthe website now, paying just $300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores andpay $420.Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says “seize the day” quite like waking up to a pot of freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn’t limited to making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hotcup of coffee waiting for you.28. Why does the author mention the struggle?A. To show making coffee is challenging.B. To show coffee can make us feel better.C. To show the coffee-brewing alarm clock is great.D. To show it is difficult to get up early in the morning.29.

To recommend a special kind of alarm clock.D. To compare traditional alarm clocks and new ones.DAsk any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you’ll likely get a detailed explanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might evensound like they’re talking about a person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group read the novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, researchers found the readers’ brains showed heightened connectivity (连通性) in some a reas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movement and emotions of the character they read about inthe book. Even though the participants were then asked not to read the novel, they keptthis heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”, a lmost like a muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for sometime afterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的), because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve their interpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction,but felt a high level of “emotional transportation” while reading --- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for people because empathy ispositively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand thatothers have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities,reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- a reduced understanding of othersand weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many r eaders believe that reading a novel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kiddof the New School study said, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience;it is a social experience.” 32. What is implied in the Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels is just a waste of time.B. Reading novels can help people become happy.C. Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.33. What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?A. They tend to be emotional in social experiences.B. They understand the emotions of people better.C. They like to talk about their favorite characters.D. They are more sensitive to everything.34. What’s the effect of watching TV or movies?A. It distinguishes your views from those of others.B. It contributes to your cognitive development.C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot.D. It changes your overall mental states.35. What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?A. Preference.B. Authority.C. Exposure.D. Evaluation.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth centre Kidpreneur.In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that centre. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood – a low –income area in Sydney’s western suburbs – and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences – Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot – dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneur(创业) story with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all- time high.The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot – dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase potential customer base.All of his would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisoralso helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.4.What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?A.To improve their test scores. B.To create a hot- dog business.C.To teach in low-income areas. D.To be beneficial to the local area. 5.How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?A.Scared. B.ConfidentC.Touched. D.Grateful.6.What does the underlined word “ kindle” probably mean?A.Inspire B.Share.C.Continue. D.Express.7.Which can be a suitable title for the text?A.On the Road to RecoveryB.Turning Failure into Success.C.Growing Wealthy through Hard Work.D.From Hopeless Youth to Business LeaderA woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. Astudy recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have; a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland. " Yet a lot of people do‑ and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more valid than another.

A.uncover the truthB.play a negative roleC.accumulate evidenceD.cause many complaints11.Which of the following may Linda Butler support?A.Catering to visitors.B.Reducing admission prices.C.Reserving judgement in public.D.Banning social media and photography.Most autonomous vehicles test-driving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3-D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimeter-level accuracy. But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed anew navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps. This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光感应器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road. Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smart phone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights. Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, test-drove a car equipped with this navigation system on a one-way road. It slowly traveled one kilometer without any human assistance.This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover in-road obstacles (障碍), says Ort. The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on streets, so that the car can drive on two-way roads. "Self-driving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different co nditions,” Alexander Wyglinski, and electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. "Since laser sensors don’t work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather. "12.What may be a problem for most driverless cars?A.They fail in test-driving.B.Their maps are out-dated.C.They run in limited areas.D.Their guides are unreliable.13.What can we infer about the MIT navigation system?A.It includes accurate maps.B.It removes in-road obstacles.C.It works by detecting the road.D.It features a smart phone app.14.What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?A.To confirm the test-drive results.B.To indicate further research areas.C.To recognize scientists’ achievements.D.To show the creativity of driverless cars.15.What is the main idea of the text?A.Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.B.Navigating self-driving cars may work in different conditions.C.Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of self-driving cars.D.A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive remote roads.二、完形填空My family is big on baseball. Grandpa 16 coached his team to two national games. Father played for three different colleges and was 17 asked to try out for the Los Angeles Angels, one of the top teams in the US. Minutes before I was born, my 18were watching a live baseball match on TV You could say I was 19 to play the game, but frankly, all through. elementary school, I hated it.I spent most days of my summer at the baseball park in my neighborhood. I really should have been 20 at baseball, for I practiced almost every day, but I was not. I wouldn’t hit the ball hard or throw it 21 . When my dad or grandpa asked me if I wanted to22 , my answer was always no. Finally they stopped giving me a 23 but just making me play whether I liked it or not.This same old 24 continued for years. My dad and grandpa would make me practice and I would put no 25 in, until around Grade 10. I was older and 26 than my 12-year-old self. I finally 27 their true motive: it wasn’t because they wanted me to improve, but because they wanted to 28 time with me. They were just trying to share a 29 part of their life with me and 30 me in something that had been in the family forever. 31 I got this, I stopped treating it as work and 32 it as a bonding experience.Now, I often 33 to play baseball with my dad or grandpa.

Facts and figures don’t stic k in our minds at all. But stories create "sticky" memories by attaching emotions to things that happen. 36.. Here is how to use story-telling to your benefit.Start with a messageEvery story-telling exercise should begin by asking: Who is my audience and what is the message I want to share with them? 37.. For instance, if you are trying to convince senior leaders to take a risk by supporting your project, you can tell them that most companies are built on taking smart chances.38.The best story-tellers look to their own life details and memories for ways to draw attention to their message. There may be a tendency not to want to share personal events at work, but experiences that indicate how they overcome their struggle are what make leaders appear authentic.Keep it simpleSome of the most successful and memorable stories are relatively simple and straightforward. Don’t tell your audience what shoes you were wearing if it doesn’t better the story. 39., such as your feelings and the humble beginnings of a now-great company. They can attract your listeners and-get your main message across.Don’t make yourself the heroYou can be a central figure in a story, but the final focus should be on people you know, lessons you’ve learned, or events you’ve witnessed. When you talk about how great you are, the audience shuts down. 40.A.Show good humorB.Provide vital detailsC.Use personal experiencesD.Each decision about your story should flow from those questionsE.Leaders always tell stories to persuade others to support a project or to face challengesF.The more you make yourself a star, the less likely your audience will buy your message G.That means leaders who can create and share good stories gain a great advantage over四、语法填空阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women. But her skill was more than herability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many back people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was A Streetin Bronzeville that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions of the black experience during the time.

Luckily, this coffee-brewing alarm clock could make those few struggling minutes practically disappear.An alarm clock that brews a fresh pot of coffee as soon as you wake up actually exists, and you canbuy it right now. Thanks to the Barisieur, your morning time will never be the same.Here’s how it works: Before you go to bed, fill the glass container with water and pour ground coffee into the filter (过滤器). Not a black coffee drinker?Not to worry --- special drawers keep your cream cold and store your sugar, too.Then, just set your alarm and go to sleep. This machine will take care of the rest.A few minutes before your alarm goes off next morning, the Barisieur will begin to brew your coffee.And voila! A hot cup of coffee is waiting for you when your alarm rings and you open your eyes. Youwon’t even have to leave your bed.London designer Joshua Renouf designed this invention himself, raising over $500,000 throughdonations on IndieGoGo. Coffee lovers should act fast and put in a pre-order on the website now, payingjust $300. Otherwise, you have to wait until it hits stores and pay $420.Owning one of these clocks will be totally worth it. Nothing says “seize the day” quite lik to a pot o f freshly brewed coffee, after all. Also, the machine isn’t limited to making coffee only in the morning. You can go out and return home with a hot cup of coffee waiting for you.28. Why does the author mention the struggle?A. T o show making coffee is challenging.B.

To compare traditional alarm clocks and new ones.DAsk any readers who their favorite fictional character in a novel is and you’ll likely get a detailedexplanation about the beloved character that they admire. It might even sound like they’re tal person they know.In a study, researchers looked at the brains of a group of people over nine days. Half of the group readbrains showedthe novel Pompeii, and half didn’t. After examining, researchers found the readers’ heightened connectivity (连通性) in some areas. This is likely because the brain imagines the movementand emotions of the character they read about in the book. Even though the participants were then asked not, almost like ato read the novel, they kept this heightened connectivity. We call that a “shadow activity”muscle memory. So even after you’ve finished a book, your brain keeps those benefits for some timeafterwards.It has been suggested that people who read a lot of fiction become more empathic (移情作用的),because fiction is a simulation (模仿) of social experiences, in which people practice and improve theirinterpersonal skills. The people who not only read fiction, but felt a high level of “emotionalwhile reading--- as compared to people who weren’t taken by the story or who read transportation” non-fiction---displayed higher levels of empathy when tested. Increase of empathy is important for peoplebecause empathy is positively related to creativity, performance at work and cooperative behaviors.Besides, reading improves “Theory of Mind”. It is “the ability to understand that others have mental states that are different from one’s own.” Of various activities, reading novels has been found to improve this ability, while watching television programs or movies has been found to do just the opposite --- areduced understanding of others and weaker cognitive (认知的) development overall.Maybe we should put more of a priority on novel-reading. And many readers believe that reading anovel is far better and more meaningful than watching any movie. As David Kidd of the New School studysaid, “Fiction is not just a simulator of a social experience; it is a social experience.” 32. What is implied in the Paragraph 2?A. Reading novels is just a waste of time.B. Reading novels can help people become happy.C. Reading novels increases connectivity in our brain.D. Reading novels helps enhance our memory greatly.33. What do we know about novel readers from Paragraph 3?A. They tend to be emotional in social experiences.B. They understand the emotions of people better.C. They like to talk about their favorite characters.D. They are more sensitive to everything.34. What’s the effect of watching TV or movies?A. It distinguishes your views from those of ot hers.B. It contributes to your cognitive development.C. It reduces your empathy for others a lot.D. It changes your overall mental states.35. What does the underlined word “priority” in the last paragraph mean?A. Preference.B. Authority.C. Exposure.D. Evaluation.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AGet Involved! Make a Donation!So what is rewilding?Imagine our natural homes growing instead of shrinking. Imagine species diversifying instead of declining. That‘s rewilding. Rewilding is ecological restoration. Rewilding offers hope for wildlife, humans and the planet.Why is rewilding important and necessary?●Our natural ecology is broken. The places where you would expect wildlife to exist havebeen reduced to wet deserts. The seabed has been destroyed and there have been no living creatures any more.●Our wildlife is disappearing. Many wonderful species have declined over the past century. We‘ve lost more of our large animals than any European country.●We need keystone species. These vital species, including top predators (食肉动物), drive ecological processes. Their loss has worsened our living systems.●Nature looks after us. Good natural ecology can provide us with clean air and water, prevent flooding and store carbon. Rewilding can leave the world in a better state than it is today.What are challenges?As a long-term project, our ―rewilding britain‖ has its challenges. Many people are not interested, because we have got used to the lack of native forests. Many farmers oppose the idea. They thought it a crazy idea to bring back predators because they would start killing farm animals. It takes time to educate them. Above all, we need money! So we need your help!Make a donation.Help us bring back living systems and restore wild nature!With your help we can...●Open up new chances for rewilding and push for change.●Develop tools to educate, influence and spread the word.Thanks for your support.21.Which of the following is the result of rewilding?A. Species become various.B. A lot of animals disappear.C. Environments are destroyed.D. Natural disasters happen regularly.22.According to the passage, one of the challenges at present is .A. people‘s doubtsB. a lack of volunteersC. a shortage of timeD. farmers‘ disagreement23.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce a new project.B.To call on people to give money.C.To warn people of the natural ecology.D.To convince people to change their mind.BThe morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn‘t wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She‘d been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession (衰退). My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child‘s language de lay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.I returned that afternoon with the same feeling with the little girl I loved when I left. Walking slowly toward the school‘s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.―You should have seen her today!‖ His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn‘tinterrupt. ―See that climber. ‖ He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. ―Well, every day since she started school, she‘s tried and failed to make it to the top. ‖ He took a breath. ―And today she did it!‖He expressed his joy just as he‘d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! ―She cheered and celebrated! I wish I‘d recorded it!‖ His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn‘t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I saw a Hero.Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness. We encourage you to click these brief accounts and invite you to share your own story.24.Why did the author rush her daughter to school?A.Because she was busy with her work as a doctor.B.Because she had a fight with her daughter last night.C.Because she broke down when dealing with her daughter.D.Because she had to sell their house due to Great Recession.25.Which of the following best describes the author‘s feeling to her daughter on the way to school?A. Delighted.B. Concerned.C. Annoyed.D. Disappointed.26.Why did the little girl‘s preschool teacher feel excited?A.She succeeded in standing on Mount Everest.B.She managed to climb up the wooden equipment.C.She got the first place in the school sports meet.D.She began to communicate with others normally.27.From which is the text most probably taken?A. The radio.B. A magazine.C. A newspaper.D. The Internet.CAny foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch.One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music―actually tunes our sensory system‖. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话) speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asianlanguages, pitch plays a central role. A single•syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non•Chinese speaking volunteers ,half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word ―m i‖ in three of its meanings: squint,bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study, Patrick C.M.Wong,said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.28.What will a foreigner probably find difficult to learn when studying Chinese according to thepassage?A.Learning how to write characters.B.Learning violin in a Chinese way.C.Mastering the tones required to speak and understand.D.Discovering changes in pitch.29.Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?A.Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.B.Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.C.Because music training might help people with language study.D.Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.30.What does the underlined word ―intoned‖ mean in the fourth paragraph?A. Created.B. Spelled.C. Formed.D. Pronounced.31.What would be the best title for this passage?A.Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English SpeakersB.Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language StudyC.Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese LearningD.Schools Need to Develop Music ProgramsD.Dolphins, African gray parrots and some other animals understand the idea of ―zero,‖ but researchers were surprised to find that honeybees also comprehend this abstract concept, considering the insects‘ tiny brains, according to a new study. Honeybees have fewer than one million neurons ( 神经元), compared with the 86 billion neurons in humans—and yet, they grasp a concept that humans, by some measures, don‘t start to understand before preschool.The researchers set up two cards, each of which had a set of symbols on them, like triangles or circles. Then, they trained a group of the bees to fly to the card with the lower number of symbols. The bees quickly learned what the humans wanted them to do to get their delicious, sweet rewards. The trained bees were then shown a card that was empty and one that had symbols on it. There is no need for the bees to be trained to fly more often to the empty card—thus showing that they understood that ―zero‖ was a number less than the others.Although they flew more often to an empty card than to one that had one symbol on it, it became easier for them to distinguish when the symbols on the card increased in number. For example, they more often flew to the zero when the other card had four symbols than when it had one.Perhaps these findings will explain the brain mechanism ( 机制) behind what allows us to understand the concept of ―nothi ng,‖ Adrian Dyer, a researcher said. This understanding, in turn, could help in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) that also understands this concept. ―If bees can understand ‗zero‘ with a brain of less than a million neurons, it suggests there are simple, efficient ways to teach AI new tricks,‖ Dyer said in the statement.32.Why are the researchers surprised at the findings?A.Because many animals also comprehend the meaning of ―zero‖.B.Because the number of neurons of honeybees is much smaller.C.Because honeybees can understand ―zero‖ with their tiny brains.D.Because humans fail to recognize abstract ideas before preschool.33.What can the bees do without further training?A.Fly directly to the card with more symbols on it.B.Fly less often to the card with fewer symbols on it.C.Fly quite slowly to the card without anything on it.D.Fly more often to the card without any symbol on it.34.Which of the following may these findings bring about?A.They offer inspiration to the development of AI.B.They enable people to understand more abstract concepts.C.They suggest ways to teach humans some complex tricks.D.They allow people to set a new type of brain mechanism.35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.We are probably unclear why we know the concept of ―zero‖.B.Honeybees can understand much as humans do about ―nothing‖.C.Honeybees will help to improve AI in the future.D.We have known the easy way to teach robots new skills.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold.I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidew alk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.24. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Lucky and hopeful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.25.

The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy(等级) of responsibility and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best frien d. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps”(王牌) friend.28. What does t he underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Differ.B. Prevent.C. Benefit.D. Change.29. What do we know from the text?A. The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C. The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D. Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.30. How does the author mainly prove his statements?A. By listing data.B. By giving explanations.C. By quoting sayings.D. By making examples.31. What is the best title for the text?A. How to be a good mother and daughter?B. Who is a mother’s best friend?C. Mother or friend?D. Can a mother be a daughter’s best friend?DBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity(长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows and widowers(鳏夫) were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you (the conditions are not favourable), marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological mechanisms (机制). For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to liveto 100. The best social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”32. Which one of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The married men live seven years longer than the unmarried.B. Marriage can help make up for ill health.C. The unmarried are more likely to have heart disease than the married old men.D. Unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life.33. According to the context, what does t he “flip side” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The disadvantages of being married.B. The emotional problems arising from marriage.C. T he responsibility of taking care of one’s f amily.D. The consequence of a broken marriage.34. What does the author say about social networks?A. They contribute a great deal to longevity.B. They help develop people’s community spirit.C. They provide timely support for those in need.D. The y help relieve people of their life’s burden.35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It’s important that we develop a social network when young.B. To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D. We should share our social networks with each other.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分;满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

1拿到试卷:熟悉试卷刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张,建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页,有多少道题,了解试卷结构,通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出,后面易题没时间做”的有效措施,也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。

2答题顺序:从卷首依次开始一般来讲,全卷大致是先易后难的排列。

所以,正确的做法是从卷首开始依次做题,先易后难,最后攻坚。

但也不是坚决地“依次”做题,虽然考卷大致是先易后难,但试卷前部特别是中间出现难题也是常见的,执着程度适当,才能绕过难题,先做好有保证的题,才能尽量多得分。

3答题策略答题策略一共有三点: 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。

先做简单的、熟悉的题,再做综合题、难题。

2. 先小后大。

先做容易拿分的小题,再做耗时又复杂的大题。

3. 先局部后整体。

把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤,一步一步的解决,每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。

4学会分段得分会做的题目要特别注意表达准确、书写规范、语言科学,防止被“分段扣点分”。

不会做的题目我们可以先承认中间结论,往后推,看能否得到结论。

如果不能,说明这个途径不对,立即改变方向;如果能得出预期结论,就回过头来,集中力量攻克这一“卡壳处”。

如果题目有多个问题,也可以跳步作答,先回答自己会的问题。

5立足中下题目,力争高水平考试时,因为时间和个别题目的难度,多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目,所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。

中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上,是试题的主要构成,学生能拿下这些题目,实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理,对攻克高档题会更放得开。

6确保运算正确,立足一次性成功在答卷时,要在以快为上的前提下,稳扎稳打,步步准确,尽量一次性成功。

不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度,甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。

试题做完后要认真做好解后检查,看是否有空题,答卷是否准确,格式是否规范。

7要学会“挤”分考试试题大多分步给分,所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置,文科尽量把要点写清晰,作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。

考试时,每一道题都认真思考,能做几步就做几步,对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分,这是考试中最好的策略。

8检查后的涂改方式要讲究发现错误后要划掉重新写,忌原地用涂黑的方式改,这会使阅卷老师看不清。

如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写,要先写出正确的,再划去错误的。

有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了,写新题解的时间又不够,本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。

考试期间遇到这些事,莫慌乱!不管是大型考试还是平时的检测,或多或少会存在一些突发情况。

遇到这些意外情况应该怎么办?为防患于未然,老师家长们应该在考前给孩子讲清楚应急措施,告诉孩子遇事不慌乱,沉重冷静,必要时可以向监考老师寻求帮助。
