When tragedy strikes, some people fall into deep depression (抑郁) sometimes losing hope and even the will to carry on. They may worry continuously about the disaster and suffer nightmares. Other people, however, react differently. Instead of becoming depressedand unable to cope, they are able to deal with painful experiences and move on.Boris Cyrulnik is interested in this difference of reaction. To find out why some people are so deeply affected, while others are seemingly able to recover, he has devoted his career to the study of psychological resilience (复原力).Cyrulnik found resilience is a quality that builds through a natural process. He says that alone, a child has no resilience. We build resilience from developing relationships.Positive emotions and humour are key factors in resilience. Cyrulnik's research has shown that people who are better able to deal with life's difficulties or traumas (创伤)are able to find meaning in hardship, seeing it as a useful and inspiring experience, and even to find ways to laugh. Resilient people always remain able to see how things may turn out for the better in the future, even if the present is painful.It had previously been thought that people who show more resilience are less emotional in general, but Cyrulnik believed that the pain is no less for resilient people than it is for others; it is a matter of how they choose to use it. The pain may continue, even over a whole lifetime, but for these people it raises a challenge that they decide to meet. The challenge is to overcome what has happened, to find strength in the experience instead of letting it defeat them, and to use the strength to move forward. Given the right support, children are especially able to complete recovery from trauma. Cyrulnik has shown that the human brain is easily influenced and will recover if allowed. If a child is well supported and loved after the trauma, his brain is able to return to normal within a year.Cyrulnik thinks it important not to label (贴标) children who have suffered a trauma, misleading them to a hopeless future. Trauma consists of two things: the injury and the repeated description of that injury. Often the most damaging post-traumatic experience for children is experiencing embarrassing adult descriptions of events. Labels, he says, can be more damaging than the experience.（1）According to Cyrulnik's research, resilient people are________A patient and forgiving.B sensitive and controlling.C optimistic and humorous.D considerate and committed.（2）What's Cyrulnik's attitude towards children with traumas?A They should be treated differently.B They should be labeled as poor littleones. C They should be given the right support. D They should be helped to accept the reality.（3）What does Cyrulnik's research find?A Resilience is a person's ability to grow in the face of terrible problems.B Resilience is found in less emotional people in general.C Resilience is built either by being alone or communicating with others.D Resilience is a person's power to avoid painful experiences.（4）From which is the text probably taken?A A biology textbook.B A travel guidebook.C A psychology book.D A sports magazine.3. On the night of June seventeenth, happily unaware that I was now less than forty-eighthours from my little “date” with Bryan Smith, I sat down at our dining r oom table and listed all the questions I wanted to answer, all the points I wanted to address in my book On Writing-A Memoir of the Craft. On the eighteenth, I wrote the first four pages of the “On Writing” section. That was where my writing still stood in late July, when I decided I'd better get back to work... or at least try.My wife Tabby is the person in my life who's most likely to say I'm working too hard, it's time to slow down, stay away from that disgusting PowerBook for a little while. When I told her on that July morning that I thought I'd better go back to work, I expected a lecture. Instead, she asked me where I wanted to set up.She thought about it, and said: "I can lay a table for you in the back hall. There are plenty of plugins so you can have your laptop, the little printer, and a fan. "A couple of hours later, she had made me a wonderful little nest there: laptop and printer, my notes, pens, and reference materials...Standing on the corner of the desk was a framed picture of our younger son, which she had taken earlier that summer.“Is it all right?” she asked.“It's wonderful,” I said, and hugged her. It was wonderful. So is she.That first writing session lasted an hour and forty minutes, by far the longest period I'd spent sitting upright since being struck by Bryan Smith's car. When it was over, I was sweating and almost too tired to sit up straight in my wheelchair. And the first five hundred words were uniquely terrifying--it was as if I'd never written anything before them in my life. All my old tricks seemed to have deserted me. I stepped from one word to the next like a very old man finding his way across a stream on a winding line of wet stones. There was no inspiration that first afternoon, only a kind of stubborn determination and the hope that things would get better I kept at it.There was no breakthrough that afternoon, unless it was the ordinary miracle that comes with any attempt to create something. All I know is that the words started coming a little faster after a while, then a little faster still. My back still hurt, my leg, too, but those hurts began to seem a little farther away. I started to get on top of them. There was no sense of excitement- not that day-but there was a sense of accomplishment that was almost as good. After that,things can only get better.（1）What happened to the writer on June the nineteenth?A He had an appointment with Bryan Smith.B He listed all the questions he wanted to answer.C He wrote the first four pages of the“On Writing”section.D He was struck by a vehicle driven by Bryan Smith.（2）When did the author decide to continue his writing?A In late June.B In late July.C On June 18th.D On June 17th.（3）What does the underlined sentence"I expected a lecture."in paragraph 3 mean?A I was expecting my wife to advise me what to write about.B I thought my wife would talk a lot to discourage me from writing.C I had prepared a lecture to get myself back to work.D I was waiting for my wife to show me where to set up.（4）How did the writer feel at the end of his writing in the wheelchair that afternoon?A Greatly disappointed.B Extremely excited.C Deeply depressed.D A little satisfied.（5）What made the words start coming a little faster after a while?A All his old tricks that had come back.B His determination to createsomething. C His pains that had gone a little farther away. D His wonderful little nest made by his wife.4. So far we have focused on the textual elements of the Great Gatsby, but it's time to turn to structural concerns-the ways in which the patterns of language and imagery create the backbone of a story. I would say it's almost impossible to see these patterns in a single reading: it took me six to understand their full effects.Where did that ending,the thinking of the green light, come from? Books have endings but a do chapters. The seeds for the ending of Gatsby are Planted at the end of chapter 1 , where Nick sees Gatsby for the first time: But I didn't call to him, for he gave a sudden hint that he was content to be alone--he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could see he was trembling. I glanced seaward--and saw nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock (码头). When I looked once more for Gatsby, he had vanished (消失), and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.It's all there:the dark water, the green light, the end of a dock, the stretching,reaching and desperate struggling-as well as the mysterious character of Gatsby.Should a reader at the last chapter be expected to remember that scene in Chapter 1? Maybe. But perhaps the reader could benefit from a reminder. I found it in the novel's central scene in which Gatsby and Daisy are reunited after five years."If it wasn't for the mist we could see your home across the bay,"said Gatsby."You always have a green light that burns all night at the end of your dock."Daisy put her arm through his unexpectedly, but he seemed absorbed in what he had just said. Possibly it had occurred to him that the great significance of that light had now vanished forever....Now it was again a green light on a dock. His count of enchanted (看魔) objects had reduced by one.It is important to note the repetition of key words over significant spaces of text. The word vanished echoes (呼应)the end of chapter 1, Gatsby's vanishing act. But enchanted appears before the phrase at the end of the book,"a short enchanted moment.”It just so happened that I was visiting Long Island while I was rereading this passage, when I noticed that it fell on the central chapter. The physical,structural,virtual center of the novel. What are we to learn from this? It should remind us that a truly great work of art is beautifully and finely created. It should reveal how purposeful the strategic vision of the author is.Whatever its effect in Gatsby, it also serves as a writing lesson for the rest of us, whether we are writing fiction, nonfiction,biography, screenplays, or poetry.（1）What is this passage mainly about?A Paragraph development.B Right words.C Story structure.D Textual elements.（2）According to the passage,“the green light”is mentioned in at least________chapters in The Great Gatsby.A two.B three.C four.D six（3）Which of the following is true according to the passage?A It took the writer six hours to discover the patterns of the novel.B The description in Para 3 has no links to the character of Gatsby.C The reappearance of some key words may just be coincidence.D The ending of the novel may remind readers of Chapter 1.二、七选五5. How to Get the Sleep You NeedMary Ladd's husband could sleep through the night, but she couldn't.（1） And part of it felt out of her control. A breast cancer survivor with an elderly mother, Ladd found that her worries would come to her mind at bedtime.（2）It's not just a matter of feeling tired. Over the long run, lack of sleep can contribute to diseases like depression, obesity, heart attack, and even cancer.Unfortunately, telling patients to sleep more doesn't mean they'll be able to do it.（3）Exercise more, stick to a sleep schedule, avoid caffeine in the evening. As a result, a third of adults report that they fail to get a seven-to-nine-hour sleep a night.The good news is that science has begun figuring out sleep's mysteries and the following are some of the latest ideas to improve our bedtime.Don't Go Toward the Light.Our brains react to the blue light given off by computers, smart-phones, and even LED bulbs much as they do to daylight. If you can't avoid screens before you head to bed, try wearing light-blocking glasses.Become a Dream Weaver.People with fewer dreams are more likely to be sensitive to pain and anxious. Unfortunately, some sleeping pills can disturb REM sleep-the last and most dream-filled sleep cycle. Alcohol does too.（4）Training yourself to wake naturally takes practice, but you'll be more rested if you can do it.Don't Worry About It.（5）Such anxieties can transform lack of sleep into chronic insomnia (慢性失眠). A recent research shows you will still get through the day if you don't get enough sleep. Therefore, if you lose sleep, tell yourself that it's OK.A Often it involves relaxation training or meditation (冥想) to reduce anxiety.B Another common cause is alarm clocks,which interrupt sleep cycles.C People often think they won't be able to function if they don't have a good night.D Is there anything worse than badly needing sleep and not being able to get it?E Ask your doctor for advice intime. F Part of her problem was that she had some bad habits:too much coffee,for one. G Nor does repeating the advice they've heard a million times.三、完形填空6.

Those are mine!" Gary exclaimed，his eyes glowing with joy．（1）According to the passage，Gary thought his buying the gloves to be．A．unnecessaryB．hot﹣headedC．wiseD．adventurous（2）What can we infer about Gary？A．He is particular about food．B．He is not well off．C．He holds a pessimistic attitude towards life．D．He doesn't get along well with his neighborhood．（3）In Gary's opinion，why couldn't he recover his gloves at first？A．He was not careful enough．B．The cashier forgot to return his gloves．C． A customer took his gloves by mistake．D．Someone picked up his gloves and kept them on purpose．12．（7.5分）Role﹣Playing in Child DevelopmentPlaying is a key component in the learning process for virtually all of the children．There are various ways in which children play，but one of the most important is role﹣playing．This involves a child engaging in an activity during which he or she pretends to be another person．Experts on child development believe that role﹣playing can increase the connections in children's brains that help them learn．Language skills are some of the most important aspects of learning．When children role﹣play，they must work out steps that need to be taken to complete a task，and create plans to act out a story．These activities enable children to develop their oral language skills．They become able to organize others and to give directions．Children's social skills can also be developed．When engaged in group activities，。

"But I saw my potential in fencing," she said.Malia has already won five national titles. In 2014，when she was 16，she qualified for the Junior Olympics. A year later, she won the national champion for the juniors.While talking about her greatest victories, Malia recalled her very first tournament. She competed against just one boy-and placed second.

All roads lead to Rome.D. More breakthroughs, more achievements.CIn the last decade great changes have taken place in the way that scientists think about the brain. We now know that the origins of the decisions humans make lie in the firing patterns of neurons(神经元) in specific parts of the brain. These discoveries have led to the field known as neuroeconomics, which studies the brain's secrets to success in an economic environment that requires innovation(创新) and being able to do thingsdifferently from competitors. A brain that can do this is an iconoclastic one. Briefly, an iconoclast is a person who does something that others can't do. Neuroscientists havesuggested that iconoclastic brains are different in three ways: perception(感知), the fear response and social negligence.The best way to see things differently is to flood the brain with things it has neverexperienced before. Freshness forces the brain to make new judgments. Successfuliconoclasts have an extraordinary willingness to be exposed to what is fresh while most people avoid things that are different.The problem with freshness, however, is that it tends to set off the brain's fear system.There are many types of fear, but the two that prevent iconoclastic thinking are fear of uncertainty and fear of public ridicule (嘲笑）. These fears may not seem like something to be worried about. But the fear of public speaking, which everyone must experiencefrom time to time, troubles one-third of the population. It is simply a common feature of human nature, one which iconoclasts do not let stop their reactions.Finally, to be successful iconoclasts, individuals must sell their ideas to other people.This is where social intelligence-the ability to understand and manage people in a business setting- comes in. Neuroscience has shown which brain parts are responsible for functions like empathy (the ability to sense and understand someone else's feelings as if they were one's own) and fairness. These brain areas play key roles in whether people convince others of their ideas.Iconoclasts supply innovation and create new opportunities in every area, which are not easily achieved by others. It is important for success in any field to understand how the iconoclastic mind works.17.What is neuroeconomics?A. It is a subject about how people make decisions.B. It is a subject about how the iconoclastic brain works.C. It is a discovery about why the brain requires innovation.D. It is a discovery about why people act differently from others.18.What do we know about iconoclasts?A. They avoid familiar environment.B. They refuse to take the fresh road.C. They do things in a traditional way.D. They are ready to face new challenges.19.What does the underlined word "one" in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The brain's fear system.B. The fear of fresh things.C. The fear of public speaking.D. The feature of their reaction.20.What kind of ability should a successful iconoclast have?A. The ability to make people satisfied.B. The ability to make others convinced.C. The ability to control someone else's feelings.D. The ability to know which brain parts work well.DKids often ask questions like those that are hard or not possible to answer, and adults tend to respond with explanations that try to solve the problem. It is natural to try to comfort a kid who is feeling puzzled by the world. But simple explanations may not be what the child expects or wants. Sometimes, kids simply want to talk about their questions and thought.I'm a philosopher （哲学家）and educator who has been listening to children and talking with them about their big philosophical questions for the past 25 years. I encourage all young people to think for themselves about problems that matter to them because it's important for them to learn how to understand their own experiences.Most kids start wondering about big questions almost as soon as they learn to speak, and they continue to think about them throughout childhood. Being full of curiosity about things that most adults take for granted, children all over the world are wide open to the mysterious that AI human life. Research shows, though, that as they get older, kids ask questions less and less.While children do need adults' help and guidance, parents don't always have to act as an expert providing the answers. Thinking with children about their bigger questions can make way for more communication. Since these kinds of questions tend not to have settled and final answers, discussions about them allow parents and children to wonder together.In this way, adults feel less pressure to be the experts.Kids have few long-held beliefs about how the world works and they are open to many possibilities. In discussions about bigger questions, kids often suggest original andcreative ways of looking at them. Talking with kids about what they are thinking can help parents explore their own concerns and ideas. Especially now, as families are separated together in a time of great uncertainty, these conversations have the possibility to allow parents and children to communicate more deeply and in a traditional way.21.What is parents' usual response to their kids' question？______A. Offer kids answers.B. Praise their curiosity.C. Ignore their questions.D. Explore the puzzle together.22.What might the author suggest young people do？______A. Think independently.B. Turn to educators for help.C. Be curious about the world.D. Learn from others experience.23.What is kids' attitude towards questions when they grow up？______A. They need adults' more help.B. They are wider open to questions.C. They tend to ask questions less frequently.D. They are more interested in asking bigger questions.24.What will probably happen if parents stop being expert？______A. Kids will not follow parents' guidance.B. Parents and kids will become separated.C. Kids will have more uncertainty for their future.D. Their relationship with their kids will be deepened.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）If you have children, you know that keeping peace in your family can be difficult. One minute your children are getting along well and the next minute they're mad with each other. So taking steps to encourage healthy sibling （兄弟姐妹）relationships isnecessary.Respect each child's unique needsTreating your children the same way isn't always practical.（1）______ For example, instead of buying your children the same gifts to avoid conflict, consider buying them different gifts that reflect their individual interests.Avoid comparisonsComparing your children's abilities can make them feel hurt and insecure. （2）______ When praising one of your children, describe his or her action or accomplishment-rather than comparing it to how his or her sibling does it.（3）______Make sure your children understand what you consider acceptable and unacceptablebehavior when it comes to interacting with each other, as well as the consequences of misbehavior.

For example, if you have young children who have trouble haring, help them create a weekly sharing. （4）______Listen too your children（5）______ Allow your children to voice their bad feelings about each other. Respond by admitting their feelings If you have sibling, share stories of your own childhoodconflicts. family dinners also provide opportunities for talking and listening.Remember, all siblings fight or argue.
