AOn Feb.4,Mohammad Hasher,a17-year-old who lives in Michigan,woke up to find his 6-year-old sister,Noor,sitting on the couch wearing a fancy outfit(全套服装).It was8a.m.,and she wasn’t in her nightclothes but instead wore dress.The first-grader also looked upset.“I asked her,‘Noor,what on earth are you doing?’”Mohammad told Huffington Post.Noor told her brother that there was a big father-daughter dance at her school that night,and she wanted to go,but couldn’t.Mohammad told the newspaper that their parents got divorced in November,and their father hasn’t spoken to them since then.His absence has been really rough on the family,especially for Noor,who decided she was going to wear a dress that day anyway,even if she couldn’t go to the dance.Mohammad made an immediate decision.”I told her I’d take her,”he said.“And her face lit up!It was so cute.”later that afternoon,Mohammad took Noor shopping to make sure she looked very best that night.He bought her a new dress,socks and shoes and brought her to a salon to get hair done.That night they went to the dance and had great fun.Noor even got a box of candy when Mohammad won the title of“Best Dad”at the dance.“The night was awesome,”he said,“It filled my heart with happiness seeing her dance with so much joy and have fun with all of her friends.”Mohammad said her sister thanked him with a huge hug at the end of the night.Touched by the experience,he posted pictures of their sweet party on Twitter(推特)：“I got to take my baby sister to her first daddy-daughter dance the other night,”he tweeted.“Sorry you don’t have a dad but I’ll always be there for you.”The post soon spread widely with over104,000likes and25,000retweets.21.Why was Noor unhappy that morning?A.She did not have a dress.B.Her father didn’t speak to her.C.She couldn’t go to the dance.D.Her parents had recently divorced.22.How did the brother and sister prepare for the dance?A.They got a box of candy.B.They cleaned their shoesD.They bought a new outfit D.They posted the event on Twitter.23.Which of the following words best describe Mohammad?A.Confident and ambitious.B.Generous and open-minded.C.Smart and determined.D.Caring and considerate.China has been drinking tea since the time of Shennong,5,000years ago.Britain’s relationship with tea is much shorter,but tea enjoys the pride as the UK’s national drink.According to the UK Tea Council,British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of165million cups every day.With figures like these,it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain.A recent survey found that24minutes a day are lost to making,buying and drinking tea and coffee.That is,?400a year is lost in working hours per employee,or190days over a lifetime.So,should employers be worried about this lost working time,or does the tea break make up in other ways?One argument is that caffeine(咖啡因)improves mental state:a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work.Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees.After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that.“Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,”he says.“But if they’re often drinking it and then go without,they’ll feel tired and won’t perform well.”Occupational Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in sedentary (久坐的)office life,and in building social relationships.“We need to make people more active and see other people.The tea break is one way of doing this,”says Cooper.And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink:“We warm our hands on them on a cold day;they’re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life.Whatever the caffeine’s doing,I’d say these24minutes aren’t wasted.”24.How many minutes in a week does a British people spend on tea and coffee?A.24.B.168.C.400.D.1330.25.According to Peter Rogers,what happens when regular coffee drinkers stop drinking coffee?A.Their wakefulness will be improved.B.They will stop wasting their work time.C.They will be less awake and productive.D.They perform as well as their colleagues.26.Why might tea breaks be a problem for workplaces?A.Workers might feel tired and be inactive.B.Mental performance might be held back.C.They waste time that could be spent working.D.Business have to pay more for tea and coffee.27.What’s Coopers’attitude towards tea break?A.Supportive.B.Cautious.C.Doubtful.D.Concerned.Every morning,Claire Buckley was rushing to catch the bus.She left for Barrington High School in Illinois at6a.m..She would come home very tired.Kids like Clair Buckley are suffering form lack of sleep.Less sleep causes stress.Stress is when someone is under a lot of pressure.Not sleeping is just one reason experts say more students feel nervous at school.Local schools in Illinois are trying new way to fix it,wishing kids to feel healthy and happy.Some schools are changing their calendar(日历).They are giving tests before school breaks. This way students do not have to worry about studying when they are away from school.Some places changed their after-school activities.Coaches can only organize one practice a day. Teachers now cannot give homework during certain holiday breaks.But some kids want very much to do well on tests.They think it will get them into good colleges,which causes them stress.A study showed different things stress different students out.Students were not able to see their grades online.This stress some students.Other students said seeing their grades made them more stressed.Some say parents are causing stress.They try to make their kids do not fail.They want their kids to not be disappointed.Children need to fail,says Dr.Carol Weitzman,a doctor for children.When kids learn to fail,they learn to get back on their feet.This is an important skills for life,she says.Various ways are adopted to reduce stress.Students at John Hersey High School drop by Dr. Brigette Muck’s office looking for stress relief.She has aromatherapy(芳香疗法)products.The smells make you fell relaxed.She also has stress balls and coloring books to help work out nervous feelings.Other schools use mentorship(导师制)program,sports and yoga classes to help students feel better.28.Why does Claire Buckley feel exhausted from school every day?A.She rushes to catch the early bus.B.She has to face academic pressure.C.She doesn’t have enough sleep.D.She can’t adapt to the new calendar.29.It can be learned from the text that___________.A.Bad habits lead to students’pressureB.Homework is not allowed in IllinoisC.Online grades make parents sleeplessD.Exercise can relieve students’stress30.What’s the main idea of the text?A.Schools are taking actions to ease students’stress.ck of sleep is the main reason for students’stress.C.Parents are putting their kids under a lot of pressure.D.learning to fail is a very important skill for students.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。

D Moonlight Cinema.BIt's been said that honesty is the best policy．It sounds like th e simplest thing in the world，but being truly honest with others and with yourself can be a r eal challenge．Most of us learned to be dishonest as children．Remember that dishonesty is rooted in fear ，so you must look for and face those fears．By listing areas w here you have a problem，and then working to deal with them，you can battle these ha bits．If you find yourself lying because you fear disapproval fr om someone，for example，perhaps you need to learn how to stop being a people pleaser and be yourself．Most importantly，admit your errors so that you can forgive yourself and use tho se experiences to reinforce your determination to do better．If you feel guilty for having been dishonest in the past，apologize to the person you lied to or find a creative way to m ake things right．If you've lied to a person who plays an impo rtant role in your life （a significant other，relative，or friend），the best （but most difficult） thing to do is to come clean．Think honestly．This may sound silly，but if you don't think honestly，you won't be honest．If you're pushed into a corner and don't know how to respond ，you have the right to remain silent or say "Can we talk about t his another time? "or" I really don't feel comfortable talking ab out this．"Don't say "I don't know"Practice being honest on the simple things．Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cen ts that did not belong to him，hence the nickname" Honest Abe"．By applying honesty to th e little things，you will get in the habit of being honest in general．5．What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest? A．Optimistic．B．Pessimistic．C．Skeptical．D．Unconce rned．6．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 1 mean?A．show B．strengthen C．express D．weak 7．What's the author's main purpose of writing the text? A．To encourage people to be honest．B．To arouse readers 'interest in being famous．C．To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln．D．To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to．8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Challenge YourselfB．No Need to Lie to OthersC．Honesty is the Best PolicyD．Little Things Can Make a BigDifference．CA great invention by an 18-year-old high school student grew out of a simple problem most tee nagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cell phone and my cell phone bat tery always dies，so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,”Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across the super capacitor.”The teenager who came from California, and graduated from high school last week，won a $50，000 prize on May 17，2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair fo r creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds.“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of ener gy,” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one strand of hair.”Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cell phone yet ，but she used it to power a light-emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cell phones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to juice it up in a matter of seconds. The t echnology isn't available to consumers yet，and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix，Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award，taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1, 600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been approa ched by several companies to continue her research, but she is now focused on attending in autumn.“Right now, just my education，but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said a bout her plans. “I have a lot of interests，so we'll see what I do in the future.”9. The passage starts with ________．A．what problem most teenagers meet with in lifeB．how Khare helped others with their problemsC．why Khare decided to make the inventionD．how teenagers make use of their cell phones10. According to the passage, Khare ________．A．was most probably born in 1995B．will graduate from high schoolC．will donate much of her prizeD．is the first teenager to win such a big prize11. The super capacitor ________．A．is as thin as a hairB．can produce enough energy soonC．has been popular on the marketD．has not been put in use in daily lifeDClimate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequ ences, according to a study.The annual voyage of some species, which fly north insearch of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as m uch as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marat hon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in an d the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds li ke the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added dista nce is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitat s change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement. Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousa nds of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to t wice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly bir ds that cross the . Some birds travel the Sahara and the Medi terranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in north ern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatur es are cooler.A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by sp ending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exception al, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration dista nce of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 an d 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer i ncreases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.12. Whatdoes traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly.D. Bigger threat to life.13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.A. have a break in the SaharaB. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organsD. fly at night to avoid the heat14. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate c hange.15. What’s the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did.

About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。

概要写作 A possible version: Physical exercise can contribute to health, as well as refresh minds. However, in some western countries, people lack exercise due to tiredness from work and passive sitting at work. Besides, driving to and from work consumes too much time, and makes people too stressed to exercise. People have noticed the consequent health problems, but it takes time and determination to change the old habits. (71 wds)

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Hele n Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The s eeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them.
