It was first published in the year 1904, authored by Lucy Maud Montgomery, but it still connects to today’s world where we forget to live in the present.It tells of the adventures of Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan (孤儿)girl who is mistakenly sent to Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a middle-aged brother and sister who had intended to adopt a boy to help them on their farm in the fictional town of Avonlea. The novel describes how Anne makes her way with the Cuthberts, in school, and within the town.The book teaches me a lot of things, the most important being — to be who you are. Why do we need to pretend to be somebody else and project a false image of ourselves to look better? We need to realize that we are all different in our own way and accept ourselves first. As is described in the book, Anne is a colorful and ever-growing character. She “has as many shades as a rainbow and every shade is the prettiest while it lasts.” Each aspect of her personality is beautiful, which makes her unique and interesting.Another important concept that is illustrated remarkably well is the importance of taking joy in the world around us. Anne’s obvious wonder-struck appreciation of life made me truly appreciate the small things. Here is my favourite quote (引言) from Chapter 19:I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.Anne’s influence has deeply shaped who I am today. This classic novel truly highlights the importance of self-love and gratitude. With its uplifting and refreshing story, it is a wonderful read for people of all ages seeking a joyful and enriching literary journey.24．What do we know about Anne of Green Gables?A．It is a recent release.B．It covers real events.C．It is a timeless classic.D．It features world history.25．What can we learn about Anne from paragraph 3?A．She is true to herself.B．She achieves her goal.C．She is talented in drawing.D．She cares about others.26．Which of the following best matches the quote from Chapter 19?A．Time waits for no man.B．Do one thing at a time.C．Fortune favours the brave.D．Stop and smell the roses.27．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To tell a story.B．To remember a writer.C．To teach a lesson.D．To recommend a book.Theo works days, nights, and weekends in the tulip (郁金香) fields in the Netherlands and never complains about tired muscles. How is this possible? Theo, named after a retired farmer, is a high-tech robot in the battle to root out disease from the fields.The robot rolls along rows of yellow and red tulips, checking each plant and, when necessary, killing diseased bulbs (鳞茎) to prevent the spread of the tulip-breaking virus (病毒). The virus weakens the bulb, leaving them unable to flower. The dead bulbs are removed from healthy ones in a sorting center after they have been harvested. There are 45 robots like Theo working in the tulip fields of the Netherlands. Their job becomes important as the winter turns to spring and peak season nears, when people come from around the world to admire the colorful flowers.In the past, this work was carried out by knowledgeable farmers. Allan Visser is a third-generation tulip farmer who is using the robot. “You could buy a very nice sports car for the price of the robot,” Visser said. The robot costs 185,000 euros. “It’s a lot slower than a sports car, rolling on caterpillar tracks through fields,” he added. “But I choose the robot because a sports car doesn’t see the sick tulips. Now there are fewer and fewer people who can really do that.”The robots have been trained to detect sick plants. They have cameras and take thousands of photos of the tulips. Their AI model examines the photos, hunting out signs on sick plants, and decides which ones need to be killed. The engineer explains the robots use GPS to be sure they are destroying the correct tulips. The heart of the machine is the knowledge put into the AI model, which comes from experienced tulip farmers like Theo van der Voort, who gave his name to the robot.Van der Voort retired after 52 years of looking for sick flowers in his fields. “It’s fantastic,” he said. “It sees just as much as I see.”28．What does the robot do?A．Plant new tulips.B．Clear troubled bulbs.C．Kill deadly virus.D．Harvest grown flowers.29．What can we infer from Visser’s words?A．He dreams of a sports car.B．Tulip fields are low in production.C．The robot is worth the cost.D．Farmers lack technical knowledge. 30．What is the key to making the robots work effectively?A．GPS systems.B．High-tech cameras.C．Daily training.D．Human knowledge.31．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Theo’s Watch: An Advance in Tulip FarmingB．Al Robots: A Replacement for Aging FarmersC．Tulip Seasons: An Attraction of the NetherlandsD．Visser’s Practice: A Tradition in Tulip BusinessesParents of teenagers often view their children’s friends with distrust, worrying that their children will be pushed by their peers (同龄人) into doing something foolish or even dangerous. Their worries hold water. In a previous study, psychologist Laurence Steinberg found that a teenage driver with a same-age passenger in the car is at higher risk of traffic accidents than one driving alone or with an adult.In the following years, Steinberg examined why teens were more likely to take risks in the company of other teenagers. In a later study, by scanning (扫描) the brains of 40 teens and adults, Steinberg found the brains of teenagers, but not adults, showed greater activity in two regions associated with rewards when they were being observed by same-age peers. The reward systems of the brain are activated whenever people experience something rewarding, like eating a nice-tasting food, which make them feel satisfied. In this case, rewards are greater for teens, which motivates them to seek higher-risk experiences.But Steinberg thought peer pressure might also have its positive side. In the latest study, Steinberg’s team used a card game to research how peers affect the way young people gather and apply information. It involved 101 teenage boys who played either alone or with three peers. They chose cards from four decks (牌堆): two decks had “good” cards, and two “bad” ones. Players with peers were more willing to take risks, trying to figure out which decks could help them towin. The results showed that teens playing with their peers engage in more exploratory behavior, learn faster and achieve better performance on the task than those playing alone.Now some experts are proposing that we should take advantage of the teens’ keen sensitivity (敏感) to the presence of friends to improve education. “Risk taking in an educational context is a vital skill that enables progress and creativity,” wrote Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a professor at University College London.32．What do the underlined words “hold water” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Make sense.B．Face doubts.C．Bring relief.D．Start debates.33．What is the reason behind teens’ dangerous behavior?A．Inability to tell right from wrong.B．A sense of satisfaction.C．Eagerness to follow their friends.D．Lack of social experience.34．How does risk-taking affect teens in the latest study?A．It starts fights between them.B．It inspires them to question.C．It weakens their independence.D．It helps them to learn better.35．What would Blakemore suggest teachers do in the classroom?A．Conduct group discussion.B．Improve time management.C．Encourage personal opinions.D．Develop decision-making skills.Standing at the top of a staircase in the Louvre in Paris, the Nike, or the Winged Victory (胜利女神), looks down over her admiring crowds. This statue is one of the most famous artworks of Greek art. 36 Later it was brought to Paris and has been on display in the Louvre since 1866.The Nike consists of two parts: a large ship’s front part, and a standing statue with a totalheight of more than eighteen feet. It looks like the Winged Victory has just flown down from the sky. 37 The wind blows her dress across her body, gathering it in heavy folds, and streaming behind her. When viewers look at her, they can almost feel the wind from the sea.38The statue, as it stands today in the Louvre, has been partly repaired. The right wing is a modern copy, but the missing feet, arms, and head have not been recovered, giving viewers much to imagine. For instance, did the Nike hold objects in her hands? In fact, people found her right hand in 1950, whose fingers are spread out. 39 She must have simply raised her right arm in greeting. Her head may have looked straight ahead, and viewers can only guess about the features of her face.40 As one of the few existing examples of original Greek sculpture, it will continue to attract viewers, just as it undoubtedly did before.A．This means that she cannot have held any object.B．The Nike is in charge of victory in ancient Greek stories.C．It was found on a Greek island in the Aegean sea in 1863.D．This statue was made by artists who left no names in history.E．It’s hard for them to believe such a lifelike statue is made of stone.F．Landing on top of the ship, she celebrates the victory of an ancient battle.G．Despite its incomplete survival, the Winged Victory is truly a masterpiece.三、完形填空Jason Smith is a published children’s author and award-winning poet. But growing up, he could 41 read.Jason and his three sisters were raised by a single mother, and she often had to make 42 choices about how to use their limited resources—including a 43 to send his oldest sister to school, and to keep Jason at home.Years later, when Jason finally went to school, he couldn’t spell his name and 44 to read simple words, which made him feel 45 .

Mine came recently when my wife and I visited our son in Los Angeles.“Dad, don’t leave the water running when you brush your teeth,” Nathaniel admonished on our first night. All right, I figured, this is California, where drought (干旱) is a concern. But then more followed. Not to leave my awkward walking shoes sitting out, and did I even need such ugly footwear? Don’t wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning — it will warm up when we get to the park. And do you have to take a shower before we drive to Topanga?At the beginning, I wondered how I raised such a bossy child. But I recalled my own words when he was young: “Someday, you’ll have your own home and can live however you want. Until then, do as we say.” Now, it was payback time.I remembered being angry at my own father’s commands growing up, how he always tidied my desk or came into my room at dusk to close the windows. And so I smilingly followed Nathaniel’s nagging (唠叨).On our last afternoon, we were walking along ElMatador Beach and hit an extended patch of rocks — clearly the end of the line, I thought. Nathaniel wouldn’t hear of it and encouraged me to walk across one largest one to the next, patiently telling me where to place my arthritic (关节炎的) feet and hands as ocean waves came close. I was terrified, but after a couple hundred yards we eventually reached a fresh sandy beach.“You did it! I’m really proud,” he said, smiling, as if I’d just learned to ride a bike. It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.4．What does the underlined word “admonished” in paragraph 2mean?A．Warned gently but firmly B．Explained loudly but lovingly.C．Announced officially and clearly.D．Inspired deeply and indirectly.5．Why did the author refer to his father?A．For memory.B．For reference.C．For encouragement.D．For comparison. 6．What was the writer’s attitude towards his son at last?A．Annoyed.B．Regretful.C．Appreciative.D．Disapproving. 7．What might be the best tile of the passage?A．The Role Switch: Parent to PupilB．The Bossy Son: Nathaniel’s TakeoverC．The Beach Challenge: Crossing the RocksD．The Power of Words: Nagging to ChangeThere are millions — possibly billions — of ponds (池塘).Yet for a century or so, they are poorly understood and scientists have paid them very little attention. This neglect (忽视) might not have mattered if it were not for increasing evidence that ponds are extremely important habitats for wildlife.Ponds are being shown more bio-diverse than rivers or lakes. Interestingly, this seems to be partly due to the small size of ponds, which allows them to have a wide range of conditions. The community in a pond with clear water will be very different to that in a nearby seasonal pond made cloudy by farm animals. Ponds show far greater variation than rivers and streams, as flowing water tends to equalize water chemistry.So why have we ignored such a vital part of the natural world? A key reason appears to be the bias (偏见) we humans have where we assume that if something is small, it can’t be all that important. Rather than study ponds, scientists in the past typically headed for the largest lake or river they could find.Most of us also devalue ponds because we assume they are artificial habitats: we look at the human-made examples around us and don’t realize that these waters have a deeply ancient origin. In our new book Ponds, Pools and Puddles, we show that ponds have clearly existed on Earth as long as there has been land and water and the geological record shows they have been a constantpresence.Now, views are taking on new shapes. Last year, the Ramsar Convention, an international agreement, introduced a proposal on small wetlands, including ponds, giving crucial recognition to them. And the European Union-funded PONDER FUL project is gathering data on Europe’s ponds.In a world where freshwater faces big challenges, creating and protecting ponds provides a ray of hope: a piece of natural ecological (生态的) engineering we can easily achieve to help support one of the most threatened bits of the environment.8．What may contribute to the biodiversity of ponds?A．The nearby animals.B．The constant temperature water.C．Their diverse conditions.D．Their regularly changing conditions. 9．What caused ponds to be neglected?A．People’s love for nature.B．Insufficient ponds for research.C．People’s mistaken belief of ponds.D．Lacking scientific research methods. 10．Why is “PONDERFUL project” mentioned?A．To promote the Ramsar Convention.B．To prepare for the research on pondsC．To highlight the importance of small wetlands.D．To show the changing attitudes towards ponds.11．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A．Penny wise, pound foolish.B．A small key opens a big door.C．Small streams make great rivers D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.We all know how it feels to get lost in a great book. Sometimes the characters and emotions can seem as real as those of our everyday lives, But what’s happening in our brains as we dive into those pages?A team led by Leila Wehbe and Tom Mitchell of Carnegie Mellon University’s machine learning department has provided answers to the question.The researchers gathered a group of 8 volunteers, and recorded their brain activity in an fMRI scanner(扫描仪) as they read Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for 45minutes. Then, they put the volunteers’ fMRI data into a computer program they’d written. They’d designed the program to look for patterns of brain activity that appeared when the volunteers read certain words, particular characters’ names and other features of the story—a total of 195 different “story features”.When the researchers used all the 195 story features, the program was able to guess which passage was being read with an accuracy of 74 percent. Finally, the researchers repeated the test at every brain region, which allowed them to figure out which brain regions are processing which types of information.They find that our brains run individual words through the first round of processing in the visual cortex—the brain area that processes all visual input—and through higher-level processing areas like the left inferior frontal gyrus (左侧额下回). When the volunteers read descriptions of physical movement in the story, the descriptions adjusted the activity into the regions involved in sensing real-world movement. A variety of characters, meanwhile, were correlated with the activity patterns in the right posterior superior region (脑右后上区域). This all confirm the existence of what researchers call the “protagonist’s perspective(主人公视角)interpreter network(PPIN)”, a network of brain regions that enable us to “become” the protagonist of the story we’re reading.“We maybe not only toward a more accurate rate neural(神经的)model of language processing, but also toward a clearer understanding of how and why it can go wrong,” We h be said. Someday it may help us design individually tailored neurological treatments for reading disorders. And many people may in the future find it easier to get lost in the pages of a good book. 12．How was the study carried out?A．By using an fMRI scanner.B．By reading the book and telling feelings.C．By tracking the brain’s response to a story.D．By processing the book with a program.13．Why did the researchers repeat the test at every brain region?A．To test its effect.B．To improve the program prediction.C．To confirm “story features”.D．To identify brain’s processing regions. 14．What can we know about the findings of the study in paragraph 5?A．Readers can experience the story through PPIN.B．Higher-level processing areas are for storing words.C．Physical movements are processed in the inferior frontal gyrus.D．Characters are associated with the left posterior superior region.15．What is a possible application of the study?A．Promoting good reading standards.B．Improving humans intelligence.C．Curing people’s reading disorders.D．Mastering learning skills easier.Unaided, we can’t do anything without our feet. So why, when our quality of life is directly related to being active, do many of us ignore these two vital parts of our body?16 In 2021, a study over arise in foot tissues and how poor foot health affects everything from physical activity to the overall health of able-bodied people was conducted. “Foot problems can reduce quality of life, lead to loss of balance, make it difficult to put on shoes and increase the risk of falling,” the authors wrote in the journal Scientific Reports. Meanwhile, a 2017 study, also in Spain, of able-bodied university students confirmed this too. 17 It increased their risk of being socially cutoff.If foot pain limits your activity a and lasts more than a week, says Paul Langer, a sports-medicine podiatrist (足疗医生), it’s time to see a doctor for foot treatment. 18 They’re like the base of the Tower of Pisa. When they’re off, the tower leans (倾斜).Therefore, keeping our foot happy is rather critical. 19 Experts say every move we make creates a chain reaction in our muscles, and joints.The foot is the driver of all movement. 20 If afoot doesn’t work normally, it can drive everything up the chain to be of disfunction, too. The key to a healthy foot is strength and mobility through the hips (臀部). Therefore our feet need help from their friends above to keep them working properly.A．Spanish scientists expressed concern.B．All of this can affect activities of daily living.C．In fact, seeking help from experts is the best way.D．Poor foot health prevented them from being physically active.E．Taking care of your feet sometimes begins elsewhere in your body.F．When the foot hits the ground, everything else in the body changes.G．If the feet aren’t performing properly, they throw everything else off.二、完形填空It was one of my favourite parts of the day, when I walked my husky, Max, around our neighbourhood.Though wolf-like in 21 , he was a teddy bear at heart.

My grandmother entered the dining room with the mail and placed it by my mother, who 1 the thin envelope rather cautiously, paused and then tossed it into the wastepaper basket.“You can at least open it,” my grandmother said.“I don’t want to see one more 2 letter. Period!” my mother answered.“Poor Mommy,” I said. “Don’t feel bad. You’re a good writer.” But the words of a ten-year-old, while appreciated, were lost in the thick air of adult 3 that filled the room.Ignoring my mother’s response, my grandmother turned the basket over and pulled out the envelope. She 4 open the letter and read it silently. My heart was racing with expectation as she suddenly straightened up and charged at her daughter, pushing the letter under my mother’s nose. “There! There!”“Please, Mother,” my mother said sadly as she pushed the letter away.“Read it!” my grandmother pushed it back. “It’s an 5 !”My mother stopped. She looked first at me, then at my grandmother. Slowly, she read the words: “We are 6 to inform you...”I watched her face turn from 7 to joy. She jumped up and hugged my grandmother, whose face was now shining as if saying 8 I knew you would succeed.Now, years later, whenever I am hesitant to open my own letters in fear of rejection (拒绝), I can feel my mother and grandmother reach for the basket, 9 me to open them. And I also have my son to cheer me up. “Don’t worry, Mommy. You’re a good writer.” I know it no longer matters whether the mail holds an acceptance or a rejection, for I have learned about the power of 10 support.1．A．eyed B．handed C．opened D．received 2．A．invitation B．rejection C．explanation D．recommendation 3．A．anger B．concern C．confusion D．tension4．A．cut B．tore C．forced D．broke5．A．award B．apology C．acceptance D．advertisement 6．A．relieved B．regretful C．happy D．sad 7．A．disbelief B．dissatisfaction C．disagreement D．disappointment 8．A．calmly B．gratefully C．patiently D．proudly 9．A．encouraging B．allowing C．reminding D．instructing 10．A．unchangeable B．unconditional C．unforgettable D．unintentional二、语法填空阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。

They call this their “Qomolangma selfie”. To get it, more than a few people have risked everything and tragically, many have died during the climb, with their precious images still locked in their cameras.But as a professional climber who’s spent the past. two decades pursuing summits(顶峰) all over the world, I had refused the idea of an expedition(探险) to Mount Qomolangma. The mountain seemed to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing.The first mountain I attempted to climb was just a 500-foot cliff. I, together with a friend managed to make our way a couple hundred feet up the nearly vertical(垂直) wall to the. safety of a small ledge. Sitting side by side, we watched the sun dip toward the horizon, amazed by what we had done and wondered how we were going to get down. The thrill of doing something most people wouldn’t consider, the discovery of the view at the top and the bond my friend and I shared all came to define the meaning of what I have been seeking in the mountain s ever since.I would have never changed my mind, were it not for an old friend and his devotion to one of mountaineering’s greatest mysteries—whether Mallory, a legendary British climber, might have reached the top in 1924—nearly 30 years before Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay. The camera he likely carried had never been found. That’s how I found myself searching for a long-lost climber and, just maybe, history’s first highest point selfie.My expedition didn’t find the camera, but it did cause me to reconsider Mount Qomolangma. As I packed for Xizang, I expected that our state-of-the-art equipment and bottled oxygen would make the climb manageable, perhaps easy. Actually, when the top photo was taken,I was more exhausted than I’d ever been on any expedition. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory, but to anyone who had the drive to push themselves up this route. 4．What are most climbers’ understanding of “Oomolangma selfie”?A．It comes at a big cost.B．It shows their respect for nature.C．It is inspired by passion.D．It brings a sense of achievement.5．Why did the author mention his first climbing experience?A．To stress the difficulty in climbing the cliff.B．To explain his focus on mountain climbing.C．To express his thoughts on “Oomolangma selfie”.D．To meet his desire to climb Mount Qomolangma.6．Which word can best describe the author’s expedition to Mount Qomolangma?A．Respectable.B．Challenging.C．Enjoyable.D．Charming. 7．What does the author seem to convey in the text?A．Not all expeditions are worth the effort.B．The meaning of climbing varies greatly.C．Perseverance lies behind “Qomolangma selfie”.D．Think twice before climbing Mount Qomolangma.I think it all started with microwaves. A typical microwave can cook an entire chicken in 16minutes. That’s 3 times faster than the best convection oven (对流烤箱). We still stand in front of microwaves, impatiently tapping our feet, waiting for popcorn to pop.Modern consumer technology and the Internet have only amplified that convenience impatience. We have emails that literally travel around the world in seconds, and yet we still ask the recipient: Did you get it? Where is it? It should be there. A file that takes more than 10 seconds to download is considered a crime.And we’re suddenly faced with a digital queue. The system can’t serve us all at once and asks us to wait. But waiting is a chain in our DNA that is breaking up. This leads to the toe tapping, fingers pianoing on the desk, pen chewing, and eventually hair-pulling as if the thought of waiting a few minutes will drive us mad.Millennials and Gen Z are products of an instant-response childhood. They’ve long lived ina world where their every thought is met with instant response in texts and social media. In real life, these same people have no idea how to wait for a response. The assumption (设想) is that real world works exactly the same as digital. But the system in a company or government doesn’t move at anything near digital speed. In fact, it often moves as slowly as it did in the pre-Internet age. There’s a disconnect between these waits and most of our lives lived through technology.We are biology living in a digital space, enjoying the benefits of instant answers and access, but unable to change our own programming to match its speed. Operating at digital and Internet speed is a great benefit, but we forget that somewhere in the instant access path is often a comparatively slow-moving and slow-thinking human, who can only do so much, and only at a certain pace.When people say slow down, take a breath, they usually mean that you should step back from a busy moment. But this should also include stepping back from your instant-access existence to see that not everything can happen right away. Most of the time, it just doesn’t need to.8．What does the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Balanced.B．Worsened.C．Maintained.D．Weakened. 9．What is people’s reaction towards a digital queue?A．They lose patience to wait.B．They get embarrassed.C．They enjoy waiting to be served.D．They consider it as normal.10．What do we know about Millennials and Gen Z?A．They are lacking in social experience.B．They desire for immediate responses.C．They are deeply influenced by the social media.D．They have a good understanding of the real word.11．What can be concluded from the text?A．Accept things happen at their own pace.B．Go for instant response at any time.C．Make sure everything happens right away.D．Step back to see what has happened.Over the years, many scientists have attempted to explain why spending time in green spaces can reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, from their supposed ability to clean the air to theirmysterious effects on our brains.The most common saying I tend to hear is that plants, particularly houseplants, clean the air. The latest research now suggests that in indoor spaces you would need a lot of them before you see any noticeable benefit. How many? Well, several hundred per square meter of living space to achieve the same benefit of simply opening a window.What we do know, however, is that there is something unusual about the color green that seems to affect how our brains function. Researchers investigating the effect of exercise on psychological well-being have found that seeing views of the natural world on screens had additional benefits over and above the workout alone. However, when they changed the screens to show the same views in black and white or in shades of red, the effect was markedly reduced compared to the original green. This may mean that having evergreen species in your garden or even something as simple as painting your fence green might contribute to its effect.Similarly, designing your garden to require higher maintenance (维护) so that it is not simply somewhere to sunbathe in summer may improve the beneficial effect by encouraging gentle workouts. Low-impact, prolonged exercise, such as gardening, can burn more calories (卡路里) than a hard-hitting gym session, despite feeling easier. It is a way of being active that may appeal to far more people.Gardening is also a classic form of practicing mindfulness, which can help to focus our thoughts on the here and now, distracting us from any worries or stresses. Mindfulness exercises are well-documented to have a positive impact on psychological well-being. So act now, embrace (接受) the power of greenery and turn your garden into a welcoming space.12．Which factor determines houseplants’ effect on cleaning the air?A．Their quantity.B．Their colors.C．Their varieties.D．Their placement.13．What is a benefit of seeing the color green during exercise?A．Promoting sports technique.B．Burning more calories.C．Increasing intelligence level.D．Improving mental health.14．What contributes to the popularity of gardening?A．It is accessible and effective.B．It is affordable and appealing.C．It requires higher maintenance.D．It offers a connection with nature.15．Why is gardening a form of mindfulness?A．It helps develop a sense of success.B．It frees us from our daily matters.C．It directs our attention to the present.D．It encourages learning and creativity.Creativity is the skill of thinking up new and different ideas and solutions. 16 It comes out in the way we do all sorts of-things, such as solving riddles, playing games or dreaming up new ideas.Neuroscientists describe creativity as the brain’s way of coming up with an idea that is original, new or different. Some people make art, music or paintings. 17 You can be creative in anything you enjoy, such as baking, inventing games or playing with numbers. “The best thing about creativity is that there’s no right or wrong way to do it — it’s about finding ways to have fun,” says Rakhee Jasani, a writer who helps people discover their creativity.18 It can relieve stress, give you energy and help you feel calm. “It’s like taking a deep breath when we’re feeling stressed,”Jasani explains. “Doing something creative that we enjoy is sometimes just for ourselves — it helps us to express how we’re feeling so that we feel stronger and prouder. ”Exercising can make your body strong. 19 Think of a time when you’ve solved a problem, finished a jigsaw puzzle — this is your creative brain at work.Neuroscientists say that being creative means your brain has to mix up different “mental representations” in order to come up with something new or different. Mental representations are the images your mind creates — like when you dream of flying or imagine yourself travelling somewhere you’ve never actually been. We can all be creative in our own way. You can’t be bad at it. 20A．Every single one of us has a creative. side.B．But that’s not the only way to be creative.C．Similarly, being creative helps to exercise your brain.D．You can make use of creativity to achieve your goals.E．Creativity has lots of benefits for your brain, body and mind.F．It’s just about exploring things and sharing them with others.G．Creativity is the way you use your imagination to express yourself.二、完形填空What can you see if you walk around the Rahway Trail in the South Mountain Reservation of Millburn?

Small houses are 23 in the tree trunks and branches — a surprisingly sweet 24 in an otherwise normal-looking forest.The fairy homes were built by volunteers.

AImagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about T om, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.T om loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, T om was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go asSuperm an,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume，but finally she agreed.The next day T om appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And T om, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. W e all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it , “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time when you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream. 16．What do we know about T om?A．He was seriously ill. B．He was a dishonest boy. C．Hewas crazy about magic. D．He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.17．What can be inferred about T om’s mother?A．She was a rich lady. B．She refused T om’s request.C．She wanted T om to be a superhero. D．She wanted to get T om through the pain.18．When T om went for the third operation, he .A．pretended to be painful B．acted like a superheroC．appeared in poor spirits D．argued with his mother19．In the last paragraph, you are advised .A．to go through some difficult testsB．to wake up from your wild dreamsC．to become a powerful person in your mindD．to wear expensive clothes for job interviews20．What is the purpose of the passage?A．T o tell us an interesting story.

D．T o encourage us to use our imagination.BSongs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday．They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications．“W e have a pretty impressive effect,” said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore．“Blood vessel diameter improv ed,” he said．“The vessel opened up pretty significantly．Y ou can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise.”A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins．When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. “W e are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart healt h,”said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans．Miller’s team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite music．They spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made themfeel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function．Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful music．Listening to music they disliked — in most cases in this group — blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said．Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. “I asked myself what other things make us feel really good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course．Music came to mind. It makes me feel really go od,” he said．Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual．21．The underlined word “dilat e “ (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning t o “”．A．widen B．move C．change D．increase22．According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?A．T aking exercise．B．Listening to unpleasant music．C．Bursting into laughter．D．T aking drugs like statins．23．It can be inferred from the passage that．A．blood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokesB．music is better than chocolate for your healthC．the style of music has different effects on different peopleD．a person’s overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets24．What is the passage possibly taken out from?A．A scientific journal．B．A school textbook．C．A medical brochure．D．A local newspaper．25．What’s the best title of the passage?A．Pleasant Music Cures B．Research into Blood V esselC．Music and Heart Attack D．Music and HappinessCHe is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the country’s top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College —still recovering from its failure — back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle. However, I watched him matured into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall — still fit at 46 — for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Succes s. “That was always the question — when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take careof things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.Congratulations, Ray, you made it.
