I must tell here an experience of mine with a newspaper boy. I recount this story because it gives so good an example of that “rude kindness” of Americans, which is perhaps their most puzzling character to one newly arrived to their land.

It was immediately after I had boarded a train. I had just got off the ship that had brought me from England to America and I was told that I looked like a m an at death’s door, so much had the 3-month-long journey shaken me.

I sat at the end of the train carriage, and as the lock of the carriage door was broken, I had to hold the carriage door closed with my leg. This was the only way to stop the cold air blowing into the train, which I feared would make my illness even worse. In this position my leg blocked the newspaper boy from his box of papers. I quickly let him pass when I noticed that he was coming; but I was busy with a book, and so once or twice he came upon me unexpectedly. On these

occasions he rudely kicked my foot aside; and though I myself apologised, he never said a word. I became angrier and angrier, and I feared the next time it would lead to an argument.

Then, close to half-way through my train trip, I felt a touch upon my shoulder, and a large juicy pear was put into my hand. It was the newspaper boy, who had seen that I was looking ill, and so made me this present out of kindness. For the rest of the journey he comforted me like I was a sick child; he lent me newspapers, thus losing the money that would come from their sale, and came repeatedly to sit by me and cheer me up.

45. What do we know about the writer from the passage?

A. He did not speak the local language.

B. He had only recently returned to America.

C. He thought Americans were extremely polite.

D. He considered the character of the local people confusing.

46. What had caused the writer to be so ill?

A. A lack of food.

B. The long train trip.

C. His voyage from England.

D. The poor conditions in America.

47. Why did the writer have his feet on the door?

A. To prevent anyone entering.

B. To stop the door opening.

C. To block the boy’s way.

D. To help him relax.

48. How did the writer feel about the boy’s actions in the final paragraph?

A. Surprised and grateful.

B. Proud and amazed.

C. Disappointed and angry.

D. Ashamed and regretful.

The bell rang outside of Julia Cavalho’s tenth-grade English class. The sound was still echoing in the hall when Ms. Cavalho started her lesson.

“Today,” she began, “you will become thieves. Worse than thieves. Thieves steal only your money or your property. You --- (she looked around the class and paused for emphasis) --- will steal something far more valuable. You will steal an author’s style. An author builds his or her style, word by word, sentence by sentence, over many years. Stealing an author’s style is like stealing a boat that someone built by hand. It’s despicable, but you’re going to do it.”

During her speech the students sat in silent attention.

“To whom are you going to do this dirty deed? Hemingway, of course.Hemingway of the short, sharp sentence.Hemingway of the almost excessive attention to physical detail. You’ve read The Old Man and the Sea. You’ve read parts o f The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls.” “Today you will become Hemingway. You will steal his words, his pace, his similes, his metaphors, and put them to work in your own story.”

Ms. Cavalho had students review elements of Hemingway’s style, w hich the class had studied before.

“Everyone, think for a moment. How would Hemingway describe an old woman going up the stairs at the end of a long day’s work? Mai, what do you think?”

Mai gave her short description of the old woman.

“Sounds great to me. I like your use of very short sentences and physical description. Any other ideas? Kevin?”

Ms. Cavalho let several students give Hemingway-style descriptions, using them as opportunities to strengthen her main points.

“In a moment,” she said, “you’re going to get your chance to become Ernest Hemingway. As usual, you’ll be working in your writing groups. Before we start, however, let’s review our rules about effective group work. Who can tell me what they are?”

The students volunteered several rules: respect others, explain your ideas, be sure everyone participates, stand up for your opinion, keep voices low.

“All right,” said Ms. Cavalho. “When I say begin, I’d like you to move your desks together and start planning your compositions. Ready? Begin.”

49. Why did Ms. Cavalho ask her students to act like thieves?

A. To persuade them to be dishonest.

B. To raise their interest in the lesson.

C. To teach them how to copy from others.

D. To encourage them to build their own style.

50. What does the un derlined word “despicable” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Very violent.

B. Quite foolish.

C. Almost impossible.

D. Extremely unpleasant.

51. What do we know about the students?

A. They liked Hemingway’s novels best of all.

B. They had read most of Hemingway’s novels.

C. They were familiar with Hemingway’s writing style.

D. They’d already written in Hemingway’s writing style.

52. What will the students do next?

A. Discuss in groups.

B. Write their compositions.

C. Plan their writing individually.

D. Listen to the teacher attentively.

D

The next time your brain refuses to recall (回忆) a simple fact or name, be thankful. It could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.

There are many studies on how the brain stores information. However, it is only lately that scientists have begun paying attention to forgetting. That’s because like us all, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a failure in the brain.

But in 2013 a research team led by Paul Frankland discovered that as new neurons (神经元) are created in the part of the brain that controls learning and remembering, they overwrite old memories, making them harder to recall.

The scientists believe that the brain is removing old information in order to make itself more efficient. For evidence, they cite a study by different scientists who taught a group of mice to pass through a maze (迷宫). The scientists then erased the memory of some of these mice with drugs. When the mice went through a different version of the maze, those with erased memories were able to find their way through more quickly than those who still had their memories. Additionally, Frankland claims that remembering too much detail may stop people from making good decisions. “We admire the person who can remember all the a nswers in a quiz, but in fact our brains have developed not to win a quiz, but to make intelligent decisions,” he says. “And when you look at what’s needed to make intelligent decisions, I think that it’s healthy to forget some things. It helps us to stay focused.”

So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, don’t be hard on yourself. It may just be that your brain is “spring cleaning” to make room for information that can contribute to making you smarter! Remember, even Albert Einstein was absent-minded!

53. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Forgetting may make you smarter.

B. How to improve your memory.

C. Forget all you once knew.

D. No need to learn anymore.

54. What is the function of Paragraph 3?

A. To describe previous brain research.

B. To explain how the brain works.

C. To summarize a research finding.

D. To introduce members of a research team.

55. The underlined word “those” in Paragraph 4 refers to _______.

A. mazes

B. mice

C. scientists

D. memories

56. Which statement would Paul Frankland agree with?

A. The smartest people have the best memories.

B. People learn too much unnecessary information.

C. Most of a person’s memories will eventually be overwritten.

D. Too many unnecessary facts can stop people making the best decision.

第二节阅读填空（共4小题，每小题2分，满分8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。选项中有两项为多余选项。At the age of 23, Amelia Earhart took a ten-minute plane ride at a 1920 air show that changed her life — she knew she had to learn to fly. 57 She also became a vice president in the airline industry. As a spokeswoman, she wrote and lectured about a time when flying would not be just for a few but would become an accepted part of everyday life.

Earhart was not only greatly admired by pilots, she broke down walls for women. 58And that was just one of the many records she set throughout her career. Among her many achievements was being the first person to fly from Hawaii to California. She also became the first person to make solo flights across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 59

In 1937, Earhart attempted the first around-the-world flight at the equator. While attempting the stretch between two Pacific islands, Earhart and her navigator disappeared. They were nearly two-thirds finished with the journey.

No one ever found their bodies or the cause of their deaths. 60 It is believed to match a piece that was used to repair Earhart’s plane.

Though Earhart died young, her legacy of freedom, determination, and living out your dreams has lived on.

A. Getting the chance to learn to fly was difficult at the time, especially for women.

B. Inspired by that day’s event, she went on to become a world-famous pilot.

C. Recently, a piece of metal has been found on a small Pacific island.

D. She was the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean.

E. Since then, many people have tried to solve the mystery.

F. All of these successes opened opportunities for women in the airline industry.

第三节短文写作

Dear friends, welcome to our English Reading Club. Reading benefits us in many different ways. It can broaden our horizons, exposing us to ideas and places we never knew before. It’s also a window into history, helping us to understand important events and great minds from the past. Additionally, reading is a great way to entertain ourselves and relax in a way that improves our minds.

These are just a few reasons why we should read regularly. I hope that this new reading club will inspire you to read more.

Because I want to improve my English, I plan to read three English novels this term. I’ll set aside half an hour’s reading time each day to read at least 10 pages. I’m in no hurry. As they say, “slow and steady wins the race”.

Thanks for listening!
