The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.One Saturday in 2014, Ms. Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.Ms. Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms. Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. “It is important to promote this art t o Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make this art more popular. ”Woo said.From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life.

During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety.Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its earlystages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isn’t thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation s hould be a part of every student’s school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.1．Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?A．To control students’ working memory.B．To reduce students’ stress and anxiety.C．To increase students’ attendance rates.D．To research students’ thoughts and feelings.2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.B．Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.C．Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.D．Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.3．The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_____”.A．challenges B．complaints C．advantages D．influences4．The writer probably agrees that ______.A．further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness trainingB．students will become more talented with mindfulness trainingC．doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness trainingD．mindfulness training decides students’ mental and physical healthC15、Last month, the BBC made a list of the greatest icons(偶像)of the 20th century. Among the 28 figures, 11of them are women. Let’s meet some of these great women.Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013)Politics is typically a man's world. But Margaret Thatcher had a big influence on politics herself. ServingBritainhad started to go downhill following World War II. Thatcher started a series of policies(政策)toAlthough many people disliked her, she stuck to her policies and was successful in the end. Her toughnessearned he r the nickname “The Iron Lady".Tu Youyou(1930-present)Tu is a chemist who studies traditional Chinese medicine. She started to look for a cure(治疗方法)formalaria(疟疾)in the 1960s.At that time, almost half of the world's population was at risk of suffering from thedisease, according to the BBC．Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, Tu found artemisinin(青蒿素)in a plant in 1971 that could curemalaria.In 2015, Tu received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She is the first Chinese woman to win aNobel Prize.Billie Holiday(1915-1959)Billie Holiday is often described as a genius. Her voice not only moved audiences, but also shookAmerican society.During her time, American society was still segregated(种族隔离的).As an African-American, Holidaylived a hard life. But her life experience also inspired her singing.Holiday worked with white bands in the 1930s,which was ground-breaking(开拓性的)at that time. Holiday taught Americans to question their segregated society.Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)Virginia Woolf was one of the most important writers of the 20th century. Her stream-of-consciousness (意识流)writing style deeply influenced modern writing.Stream-of-consciousness focuses on the"flow”of thoughts and inner feelings of a particular character. Thiswas very different from most writing at the time.Woolf once wrote a short novel called The Mark on the Wall(<墙上的斑点>).The novel focuses entirelyon what the main character is thinking about after seeing a mark on a wall.1．Why did Margaret Thatcher get the nickname “The Iron Lady”?A．Because she was strong enough to live a long life.B．Because she was the first female prime minister in Britain.C．Because she used tough policies to restore the country.D．Because she liked to use the things made of iron.2．How old was Tu Y ouyou when she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine?A．35 B．41 C．75 D．853．Which one of the following quotations(录)was probably from Billie Holiday!A．"He that comes first to the hill, may sit where he will."B．"If I'm going to sing like someone else, then I don't need to sing at all."C．"Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world."D．"Do not all you can; spend not all you have, believe not all you hear; and tell not all you know."4．What does the underlined word"This"refer to?A．Woolf's writing style B．modern writingC．the character's thoughts D．the character's inner feelings5．The passage is aboutA．female Nobel Prize winnersB．an introduction of “The Iron Lady"C．the greatest icons of the 20th centuryD．women who made a difference in the 20th centuryD16、It is reported that some developed countries have shipped (运往) broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth.Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year, from which it makes 75 million yuan. But it comes at a cost.Many of the poisons in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.Luckily, the Chinese government wants to change the situation (情况) . This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.1．The e-waste found in Hong Kong last month was from _____.A．France B．Japan C．Germany D．Australia2．The underlined word “buried” probably means ____in the passage.A．焚烧B．降解C．回收D．掩埋3．The town of Guiyu in Guangdong Province_____.A．is the e-capital of the world B．has serious e-waste pollutionC．deals with the e-waste safely D．spends much money on e-waste4．This year, the Chinese government _____.A．closed some computer companies B．asked people to hand in old computersC．made a new environmental protection law D．tried to change people’s life5．The passage is mainly about _____.A．the e-waste problem in China B．the cost of burning e-wasteC．the ways to deal with e-waste D．the need to pass a law against e-wasteE17、Y ou must have heard of many European cities like Paris, London, Berlin and Rome. What about Copenhagen? It is the capital of Denmark. But do you know another name of it? It is also called " Europe's bicycle capital". In the city, people enjoy a large network of bike paths. Of course, this is a nice, green life.However, this has caused an unusual problem—bike jams ! And they are becoming regular on some city streets. So, recently, Copenhagen has decided to build bicycle highways !Then, what will a bicycle highway look like? It is a road with a bike path on either side. The road itself is built for buses and cars only. But each bike path will be built four meters wide! And traffic lights will let bicycles go first. In the future, bike highways will be with bike stops. At the stops, the persons who ride bikes can take a rest and mend bikes. Besides, some bicycle highways willlinkthe suburbs(郊区) with the center of Copenhagen. So, people can travel across Copenhagen by bike quickly and safely.You may say that the idea of bicycle highways sounds like a dream. But just as a writer once said, "If you will do it, it is no dream. "根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填人题前括号内。
