ALast year, I was on a plane with my friend, waiting for it to take off. The pilot’s voice was heard throughout the plane: “Sorry for the delay, ladies and gentlemen. Our engines don’t work. We are going to jump-start them. Once we get them going, we’ll get up in the air and see what happens.”That was all he said. “See what happens? Shouldn’t we have had a better plan than that?” At that point, I could only laugh nervously. One woman started crying: “Oh, no! We are going to crash!” There are sighs of desperation and anxiety, and we hadn’t even taken off yet.The pilot even seemed unhappy. He told us our one engine was working double time, and his plan was to get up in the air and see what happens! Then we did. We got up in the air, and what happened? Nothing. We arrived in Norfolk, and no sooner had the wheels touched down than applause burst out as everyone on the airplane breathed a sigh of relief.All too often, people stop achieving their goals just because they don't have a guaranteed result. But success will never be guaranteed. The best thing that you can do is to just get up in the air, and see what happens.If your aim is to build a business, then get up in the air and see what happens! Don't give yourself all the reasons why you can’t. Do not wait until you have everything you need. You never will.If your goal is to start a friendship, say “Hello”, get up in the air and see what happens! The results could be very rewarding. If your goal is to learn a new skill, get up in the air and see what happens! It might not be as difficult as you think. It could be fun!1. H ow did the author feel when the pilot said the engines didn’t work?A. DisappointedB. AnxiousC. CuriousD. Relieved2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The passengers began crying after the plane took off.B. The engines often worked double time to get started.C. The pilot tried to comfort the nervous passengers.D. The passengers reached the destination safe and sound.3. The underlined sentences in the last paragraph means “______________”.A. think carefully before you make friends.B. start to fly the plane to see what will happen.C. make an effort even if the result is uncertain.D. get up from the chair and greet somebody.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. We Will See What HappensB. I Survived an Adventurous FlightC. The Pilot Risked Our LivesD. Making Plans Is Better Than Taking ChancesBIt was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone?I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact. That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’ than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.Do you have nomophobia ?• You never turn your phone off• You obsessively (着魔地) check for texts, missed calls and emails• You always take your phone to the bathroo m with you• You never let the battery run outIt's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions(订购；订阅) would outnumber(数量上压倒) people across the world by the end of 2014.And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.Not having it with me felt strangely liberating(自由). Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.5. What does the passage talk about ?A. The history of mobiles.B. The story of meeting an old university friend.C. The addiction of playing mobile phone.D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.6. The underlined phrase “on edge”in the third paragraph probably means_______.A. nervousB. energeticC. crazyD. surprised7. Which word is used to describe old mobile phones according to the passage?A. digital phoneB. cell phoneC. bricksD. smart phone8. According to the passage who is most likely to be addicted to mobiles ?A. A successful managerB. A 21-year-old girlC. A 21-year-old boyD. A lonely middle-aged personCWhen people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife".I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self - pity. Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home？How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial adviser, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer — the love and affection of your family, their trust in you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Wouldyou along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out.9. How do people feel when they say "I'm just a housewife"？A. Satisfied．B. Proud．C. Regretful．D.

AACADEMIC ACTIVITIES AND LEARNING TRIPSNACA (Native American Community Academy) involves students in academic activities and learning trips in order to strengthen the classroom learning experience. Some examples of our commitment to academic activities include:☆ Student DemonstrationsAt the end of every school year, NACA celebrates student learning and growth through Student Demonstrations. Each student chooses a project that reflects their best work and demonstrates it publicly for family and community members. Through this process students also practice the skills of giving a proper introduction, sharing content knowledge, making a personal connection, bettering their visual and oral presentation skills and interacting with their community.☆ Student CouncilStudent Council is a group of peer-elected representatives. They serve as leaders of their grade level and promote NACA Core Values. They model positive relationships among each other and staff. Student Council will facilitate school wide events to foster school spirit.☆ Potential Leaders Development Trip to Washington DCEvery summer, about thirty 8th grade students take part in a Potential Leaders Development. A trip to Washington DC is an important opportunity that promotes youth leadership for students while engaging them on a deeper academic level. It provides an experience-based understanding of the endless opportunities that higher education can provide and encourages the pursuit of academic success. Students who attend this trip are greatly impacted, long for completing their high school education in a more focused and determined manner and begin making plans for college. The trip also creates awareness of the significance of Washington DC/US government and importance of government to government relationships.1．What’s the aim of NACA trips?A． To equip students with social experience.B． To help students strengthen what they learn in class.C． To promote the awareness of protecting nature.D． To help students with learning difficulties to catch up.2．How does NACA celebrate the end of a school year?A． By organizing trips for students to Washington DC．B． By choosing model students for their good relationships.C． By getting students to present their best work publicly.D． By making personal connections with the community.3．What does the passage say about Trip to Washington DC?A． Its participants are future leaders of all fields.B． Its teachers are all experts at presentation skills.C． It sets models for students to socialize in real life.D． It aims to inspire students for higher education.BNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alon e in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”4．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A． Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.B． It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C． It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D． Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.5．Traveling alone is challenging because ________.A． you have to make things on your ownB． it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersC． you can only depend on yourself whatever happensD． it will finally build your character6．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?A． He started traveling alone at an early age. B． He was once shot in the arm. C． He used to work as a salesman. D． His website inspires others a lot. 7．What is the best title for the passage?A． Travel Abroad B． Travel Alone C． Travel Light D． Travel Wide and FarCWhat do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed？You probably pat them on the back or shoulder，or maybe you give them a big，warm hug.We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have.But scientists have discovered that apes(猩猩)have this ability，too，according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta，US，went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos(倭黑猩猩)，which are closely related to humans.The researchers analyzed the bonobos' reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations，such as fights and losing temper，and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked，just like humans would have done.However，researchers noted that not all bonobos were capable of comforting others.In the protection centre，many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters.They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions，making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.“Orphans，who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions，are much worse at comforting others，”Professor Frans de Waal，one of the researchers，told The Telegraph.“Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly.Therefore，they pay more attention to others.”This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react.Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions—for example，the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.8．The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by________．A． making comparisons B． following time orderC． giving examples D． presenting causes and effects9．The underlined word“curb”in the 6th paragraph probablymeans“________”．A． express B． observe C． hide D． control 10．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A． Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.B． There were 370 bonobos involved in the research.C． Moms play a significant role in handling kids' emotions.D． The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings.11．What's the main purpose of this passage?A． To provide better protection for Apes. B． To inform readers of a new study. C． To uncover the mystery of Apes. D． To compare human behaviors with Apes'.DA new course on world heritage and its conservation offers a good opportunity for the young people to learn about the legacy(遗产) of humanity and gain a sense of responsibility to help protect the planet we live on.According to a world heritage education programme jointly launched by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and China's Ministry of Education, the course will first be offered at several schools in Beijing before being included as a mandatory course (必修课) for high school studentsnationwide.The new course covers photos, slide shows and documentaries on the magnificence of the world heritage sites. The class aims to tell children what world heritage is and why and how it should be protected. A total of 177 nations, including China, have signed the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Listed are 754 sites all over the world, of which 29 are in China—the third most after Spain and Italy. Currently, protection of the country's cultural and natural resources leaves much to be desired. Education is undoubtedly the best way to cultivate people's sense for protecting cultural and natural resources. The introduction of such a programme in Chinese classrooms will certainly help our young people realize the significance of common heritage, learning about world heritage sites, the history and traditions of different cultures, ecology, and the importance of protecting biological and cultural diversity.More importantly, it will help cultivate a sense of responsibility in the minds of young participants. This is critical in protecting these cultural and natural legacies, as well as our living environment and the limited resources for sustainable development.12．Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A． The world heritage education programme was jointly launched by the United States and China's Ministry of Education.B． The course will first be offered at all the schools in Beijing.C． Protection of the country's cultural and natural resources has been perfect thanks to people's efforts.D． China ranks high among the countries with 29 sites listed on the list. 13．What can you expect to learn at the class?A． What world heritage is. B． Why we should protect world heritage. C． How world heritage should be protected. D． All of the above.14．The underlined word "cultivate" in the third paragraph probably means " ".A． distribute B． exploit C． develop D． improvise15．What's the purpose of the passage?A． To inform us of the reason for protecting the heritage.B． To tell us the way to protect the heritage.C． To tell us a new course.D． To tell us heritage preservation starts with education.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。

From Shakespeare to Lady Gaga you'll meet influential figures from show business, sport, politics and even royalty.

Both have chargeable exhibitions.B. Both are on the banks of the Thames.C. Both have vast spaces and special shapes.D. Both exhibit modern and contemporary art.2. If visitors want to get a better view of London's famous landmarks, they should visit _____.A. the Tate ModernB. the British MuseumC. the National GalleryD. the Coca-Cola London Eye3. In Madame Tussauds, visitors can _____.A. enjoy Shakespeare's worksB. talk to some famous peopleC. watch Lady Gaga's performanceD. see figures of many influential peopleBNext month, about 30,000 runners will take to the streets of Boston, Massachusetts, for o ne of the world’s oldest and most famous races, the Boston Marathon. Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gi bb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.A. win a long-distance raceB. take the place of menC. complete a marathonD. compete with men5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?A. She ran back to the starting line.B. She got support from the crowd.C. She was driven away from the race.D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?A. Easy-going.B. Soft-hearted.C. Strong-willed.D. Open-minded.7. What’s probably the best title for the text?A. Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The world’s oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs —just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.“Techno logy will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that wi ll not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people's livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _____.A. people won't necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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。

AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that his buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the l ook of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food prices going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1. According to the passage, ________ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buythe product.A. the pleasing color of the packageB. the special taste of the productC. the strange shape of the packageD. the belief in the product2.

It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBLying within, the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.POSITION：Science Teacher | KS3 —5| All Science specialists welcomeDEPARTMENT：Popular & Ambitious Science DepartmentLOCATION：Borough of Southwark — Zone 2 — Inner LondonPERSON：Qualified Science Teacher requ ired —experience in UK or overseas trained START DATE：April 2016 or sooner — full time & permanent contract on offer SALARY：Inner London Pay Scale —£29,270 ～£37,862 a yearPERSON REQUIREMENT：All applicants will need to be suitably skilled, trained and qualified to be considered for this Science Teacher position.

Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape.

Swift has spent the past year on the SpeakNow World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further.According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album.

AThere are thousands of products of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging is the silent but persuading salesman .There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer, so that his buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the l ook of the package has a great effect on the “quality” of the product and on how well it sells, because “Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its package. Many products are packages and many packages are products,” as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers’ feeling for packaging, noticed.Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for example. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green” today can keep food pri ces going up.Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes are pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That’s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald’s are inviting to both young and old.This new consumer response (反应) to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.1.

It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of ________.A. vegetable dishB. healthy juiceC. iced drinkD. red vegetableBLying within, the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.POSITION：Science Teacher | KS3 —5| All Science specialists welcomeDEPARTMENT：Popular & Ambitious Science DepartmentLOCATION：Borough of Southwark — Zone 2 — Inner LondonPERSON：Qualified Science Teacher requ ired —experience in UK or overseas trained START DATE：April 2016 or sooner — full time & permanent contract on offer SALARY：Inner London Pay Scale —£29,270 ～£37,862 a yearPERSON REQUIREMENT：All applicants will need to be suitably skilled, trained and qualified to be considered for this Science Teacher position.

Until then she had been a bright, cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a puzzled way and ask, “Who are you?” I would answer, “I'm your son.” “Where do you live?” She would ask. “In California”, I would tell her. “Isn't that interesting,” she would say, “I have a son in California.”She seemed simply forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease, but later on she would go through periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life crying uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were unattended for a short time. Hoping to please her and put her mind at ease I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a child. In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn.I pictured my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some response. She shookherhead and said “ I want to go home.Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place, but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much younger, when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have gone in mind if someday I couldn’t find home and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it es with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday if and when I bee even more cloudy minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where "home" is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your guidance.41. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs?A. The author’s mother suffered with serious Alzheimer's disease.B.

Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of65.She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year afterI started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a bination of adopted and biological children. In xx, we adopted our first son.To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional.A year later came our second adopted boy.Then followed son No.3.In xx, I gave birth to another boy.You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8！Our home was a plete zoo—a joyous zoo.Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full­time.But I never gave up on the dream either.I had only one choice: to find a way.That meant taking as few as one class each semester.The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys.They often wanted me to stay home with them.There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina.It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!I am not special, just single-minded.It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal.Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day.It's a process.Remember: little steps addup to big dreams.51．When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________.A．a writer B．a teacherC．a judge D．a doctor 52．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A．She wanted to study by herself.B．She fell in love and got married.C．She suffered from a serious illness.D．She decided to look after her grandma.53．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?A．She was busy yet happy with her family life.B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.C．She wanted to remain a full­time housewife.D．She was too confused to make a correct choice.54．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?A．Failure is the mother of success.B．Little by little, one goes far.C．Every coin has two sides.D．Well begun, half done.55．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Caring and determined.B．Honest and responsible.C．Ambitious and sensitive.D．Innocent and single-minded.DDeath Valley is one of the most famous deserts in the United States, covering a wide area with its alkali sand. Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”—the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners ing across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems h ard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.56. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Bad water57.

First of all, mistakesare a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to trynew things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If younever try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simpleanswer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable yousee in your world is the result of _____________.[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn’t work.[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.[4] But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportu nities to try again in case that it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.[5] There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistake, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.1. List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you. (Please answer within 5 words for each blank.)① _______________________________________________________________② _______________________________________________________________③ _______________________________________________________________2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? (Please answer within 8 words.) _______________________________________________________________3. Fill in the blank in paragraph 1 with proper words.

On my first metro ride, I came across an incompetent thief. I stared him out, then he stopped his hand from my purse and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Somewhere in this confusing city was my hotel hidden, but the directions suddenly weren't easy to find. When I finally found the hotel, my heart was beating heavily. The wallpaper looked like it had been through a fire, the bathroom was downstairs, and the window looked out onto the brick wall of another building. Dropping down my luggage, regrets flooded over me and Ifelt terribly homesick. I had just arrived in the most romantic city in the world, yet feeling deserted. Idecided to refresh myself with a walk outside.It was in the walk that the city slowly unfolded before me.

A higher score means you have better personal credit.

Also, when you rent an apartment or buy a house, a credit score speaks for you. Its influence doesn't end there, An increasing number of employers now check. thecredit scores of applicants. You can't ignore that a credit report can be a judge of character.So how can you get a good credit score? Make your repayments on time and pay off your accounts early if you can. If you're using savings to pay off debts, make sure you keep enough cash in an easy access savings account for emergencies.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins with" Twinkle, twinkle, little star", or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks or the Three bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as " Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales. We not only learn but overlearn. The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination,but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.12. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn wordsD. Stories for children are easy to remember.13. The author explains the law of overlearning by_________.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. making a comparisonD. using examples14. According to the author. being able to use multiplication tables is _________.A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies15.What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's helpful only in a limited way.C. It's possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases students' learning interest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。

When the studio didn't want me for the film-it wanted somebody as well known as Paul-he stood up for me. I don't know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers．The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors：humorous，aggressive，and making fun of each other-but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen．We shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success，you should put something back-he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He'd been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn't talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn't need a lot of words．24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first？A. Paul Newman wanted it．B. The studio powers didn't like his agent．C. He wasn't famous enough．D. The director recommended someone else．25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship？A. They were of the same age．B. They worked in the same theater．C. They were both good actors．D. They had similar characteristics．26.What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to？A. Their belief．B. Their care for children．C. Their success．D. Their support for each other．27.What is the author's purpose in writing the test？A. To show his love of films．B. To remember a friend．C. To introduce a new movie．D. To share his acting experience．CAs you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine！Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout lifeˈs journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!28.The best title for this passage would be ________.A. The Choices in LifeB. The Key to SuccessC. Say Goodbye to the PastD. Becoming a Young Adult29.Who do the underlined words “some people” (Paragraph 4)probably mean?A. your parentsB. your classmatesC. true friendsD. your relatives30.As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are___.A. a period of complete freedomB. too hard for young people to get throughC. an important time for the young to make the right choicesD. a very important period for young students to leave their parents31.Who is the passage mainly intended for?A. Teenagers.B. Teachers.C. Young parentsD. Adults.DReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing. com BookCrossing. com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group．Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both. ”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E﹣mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the“real”and not the virtual （虚拟）. The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty﹣five countries.32.Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph？A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.33.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？A. The book.B. An adventure.C. A public place.D. The identification number.34.What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it？A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.35.What is the best title for the text？A. Online Reading：A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books：A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through Books.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。

Nearly half the competitors in the 26.2-mile race will be women. But for most of the race’s 119-year history, only men were officially allowed to compete.A woman named Roberta “Bobbi” Gibb helped change that in 1966, when she secretly ran the marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. “Word went out around the world that a woman had done the impossible,” says Gibb. “It changed the way men thought about women.”Gibb saw her first Boston Marathon in 1964, while running through her neighborhood. She was inspired to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained to build the energy and strength she’d need to finish. But when she sent in an application for the 1966 race, it was turned down.At the time, the longest official races for women were only 1.5 miles. Many people didn’t think women were physically capable of running longer distances. Running a marathon was also seen as “unladylike.”But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to let go of her dream. She came up with a plan to run the race anyway. On April 19, she showed up at the marathon wearing her brother’s shorts and a sweatshirt to hide the fact that she was a woman.Gibb hid in the bushes near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the pack. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes — faster than two thirds of the male runners.Gibb opened the door for future female long-distance runners. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still prohibited (禁止) women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women.4. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably refers to the thoughts that women couldn’t _____.A. win a long-distance raceB. take the place of menC. complete a marathonD. compete with men5. What happened to Gibb when she was found running the 1966 Boston Marathon?A. She ran back to the starting line.B. She got support from the crowd.C. She was driven away from the race.D. She took off her brother’s sweatshirt.6. Which of the following can best describe Gibb?A. Easy-going.B. Soft-hearted.C. Strong-willed.D. Open-minded.7. What’s probably the best title for the text?A. Leading a new lifeB. Running into historyC. Long-distance runnersD. The world’s oldest raceCFrom self-driving cars to carebots for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the UStechnology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs —just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research.“The growth of 20 to 40 person companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the report's co-author.“Technolog y will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudin told researchers.8. We can infer from the text that in the future _____.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people's livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces9. According to the report, _____.A. people won't necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology10. What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. Mixed.B. Worried.C. Hopeful.D. Doubtful.11. Jonathan Grudin's words in the last paragraph suggest that _____.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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。

If a teen wants to learn how to keep public organized, he/she may call .A. 4005075B. 4005077C. 4005076D. 4005079BOne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going o n the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: 揑 find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored 揼rey games? is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that 揼rey gamers? simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the 揼rey gamers may well be far better than gamers halfa century younger than them.24. The second paragraph is intended to ________.A. show the best way to exercise the brainB. stress the importance of good healthC. explain why grey gamers existD. teach how to play videogames25. What was older people’s attitude towards their using personal com puters at first?A. DoubtfulB. IndifferentC. EnthusiasticD. Supportive26. The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is ________.A. offering figuresB. giving examplesC. quoting experts’ wordsD. providing charts27. By saying 揟his couldn’t be further from the truth.? in Paragraph 5, the author means ________.A. mind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleB. children should improve their skills with practiceC. playing computer games requires analytical thinkingD. older people can perform well in some computer gamesCYounger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.It also found that nearly half of the students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bul lies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced morebullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. 揅hildren being bullied will find it hard to trust others,? Zhou said. 揟hey may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involv ed in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.28．Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?A． A 10-year-old boy from a poor familyB． A 17-year-old boy from a rich familyC． A 17-year-old girl from an ordinary schoolD． A 10-year-old girl from a key school29．Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____. A． a lack of trust in other peopleB． a drop in the sense of depressionC． a lack of ability to manage their lifeD． a drop in academic performance30．We can learn from the text that _____.A． bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the mediaB． students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-freeC． the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school D． bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder31．What can be the best title for the text?A． Negative effects on children caused by bullyingB． Is anything we can do about bullying?C． The reasons for bullying on campusD． Bullying affects half of the studentsDA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子)and a chair. The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achiever (e,g. lose weight, start a business, travel more ) –only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress ?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just needto get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you w ant to accomplish, someone you want to become ?.take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way . 32．Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A． To trick the lion.B． To show off his skill .C． To get ready for a fight.D． To entertain the audience.33．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A． They feel puzzled over choices.B． They hold on to the wrong things.C． They find it hard to make changes.D． They have to do something for show.34．What is the author’s attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3? A． TolerantB． DoubtfulC． RespectfulD． Supportive35．When the world is 搘aving a chair in your face?, you’re advised to_____. A． wait for a better chanceB． break your old habitsC． Concentrate on your goalD． ask for clear guidance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。

——————————教育资源共享步入知识海洋————————2019年高二上学期第二次月考英语试卷第I卷第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

ATears ran down from my eyes as I saw the essay my high school English teacher had just handed back. A big F was written on top. I was hopeless. I was stupid! My face burned with shame when my classmates called me stupid.“I’m the only one who doesn’t know my ABCs!” I sobbed to Mom.“I’ll help,” she promised.Every day I sat with her, but to me, cat looked like cta and red was reb. Frustrated(感到挫败的), I would return to my bedroom and draw, filling the paper with houses, restaurants and offices.“When I grow up, I want my own store,” I told Mom, pointing to my drawings.“That’s great!” she said, “but first you have to learn to read.”Later, I was diagnosed with dyslexia (失读症). So Mom took me to a learning centre, where I was given reading exercises. But I still had a hard time. Finally, I graduated, but I was afraid of my reading skills.“I’ll never get a job!” I cried to Mom later again.“Don’t focus on what you can’t do,” she comforted, “Concentrate on what you really can.”But what can I do? I wondered. Suddenly, I thought of the drawings I’d made as a child and my dream of having my own store. I enjoyed sales so much that over the next few years, I tried my hand at other businesses. Today, I watch over seven branches. We have 187 employees and $15 million in sales.While I’ll never be what my teachers might have wanted, I am a success--on my own terms. The other day a student sent me a card, reading: You gave me so much confidence. I hope to be like you when I am big. Tears of joy filled my eyes. This was my A, and I smiled.1. Why did the author feel so ashamed at school?A. His teacher ignored him in class.B. His teacher didn’t grade his essay.C. He failed to finish his essay in time.D. His classmates looked down upon him.2. Which of the following best describes the author’s feeling to his mother?A. Grateful.B. Guilty(内疚的).C. Doubtful.D. Regretful.3. Which of the following can match the text?A. No pains, no gains.B. Never too old to learn.C. Every man has his value.D. Two heads are better than one.BChinese scientists report they have made a simple printer that uses water instead of ink. The printed characters last for a day on special paper, which can then be reused.“Every time you print it’s fresh,” said Professor Zhang at Jilin University in Changchun, China. “We are using an inkjet printer(喷墨打印机). We just fill the cartridges (墨盒) with water and put it back. It’s like normal printing. The magic is in the paper.”Printing typically involves large amounts of waste paper and expensive ink to prepare documents often read only once. This new method allows the paper to be reused numerous times at possibly cheaper running costs.Zhang and his team developed a special coating(涂层) on the paper that responds to the water. So far, they have been able to print various Chinese and English characters using four colors, with water as a key that activate the dye molecule (染料分子). The next step is to combine colors to get black. The possibility of reusing paper instead of throwing it away is rousing interest, according to Kia Barton, an expert in high-performance printing technology.“Going toward greener techniques of printing is helpful,” Baton said, “For standard typing, I think it’s an interesting idea and something worth exploring.”Zhang foresees advances in printing technology that will allow users to have entire newspapers or magazines printed at home with paper that could be recycled over and over again. Based on 10 yuan per sheet of water-jet paper, Zhang estimates the cost at one-seventeenth the present price of inkjet printing.That may not be cheap enough, however.“Technology for making rewritable paper is exciting as a new approach for avoiding the problem of single-use paper,” said Norman Marsolan. “Because the present paper products are inexpensive, however, this new technology will have to be cost-competitive, even if it can be rewritten may times.”4. Compared with traditional printing, the new tech ______.A. is more paper-savingB. attracts more usersC. uses a special printerD. produces longer-lasting characters.5. The under lined word “estimates” in Paragraph 7 means ______.A. reducesB. valuesC. checksD. controls6. Marsolan is more concerned about the new tech’s ______.A. effect on human lifeB. printing performanceC. typing problemsD. cost advantage7. What can be the best title of the text?A. The Rising Cost of InkB. The Importance of Reusing PaperC. New Ink-less Tech Prints with WaterD. The Magic of PaperCI came to Rio, Brazil to work one year ago. So what have I found here?●You need to learn PortugueseI started studying Portuguese about two years ago. I didn’t end up improving my Portuguese as much as I’d hoped before I came here. While Spanish and Portuguese are structurally quite similar, there are huge differences between the two. You can’t just magically understand Brazilians if you speak Spanish.●I didn’t need to bring heelsGoing out in cities like Buenos Aires is a big deal. You get dressed up, you do your hair, and you definitely wear heels--at least if you’re going out to dance.I had no idea how wrong I was. Yes, Rio is a city, but it’s a city on the beach. Of course, there are fancy clubs that probably expect everyone to show up in dress shoes(时装鞋), but most of the places I’ve been to are fine with sneakers(运动鞋), even for dancing.●Learning about pop music is a mustWhenever I go out and a pop song comes on, every single other person there sings along to all the words. I still haven’t understood if there are only 25 songs that get played in public or if people really do just have a fantastic memory for lyrics, but either way, I wish I’d spent a bit more time practicing Brazilian pop music soI wouldn’t look like such a lost foreigner.●Airplanes are a surprisingly sensitive subjectIn Brazil, the credit for modern flight goes to Alberto Santos Dumont. Brazilians say the Wright Brothers’use of a catapult(飞机弹射器) was technically cheating and point to their man as the real pioneer of the plane. Therefore, be careful before bringing up the subject of planes in Brazil unless you’re re ady for a lecture.8. What language do Brazilians speak?A. SpanishB. PortugueseC. EnglishD. French9. What can we infer about Brazilians?A. They are fond of dancing.B. They understand Spanish.C. They are informally dressed.D. They have a good memory.10. What topic should you avoid in Rio?A. The history of planes.B. Dressing styles.C. Pop music.D. Spanish.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell us something about Portugal.B. To share her life in Rio as a foreigner.C. To give foreigners in Rio some suggestions.D. To encourage us to learn a foreign language.DA schoolgirl saved her father’s life by kicking him in the chest after he suffered a serious allergic(过敏的) reaction which stopped his heart.Izzy, nine, restarted father Colm’s heart by stamping(踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing.Izzy’s mother, Debbie, immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father, so decided to use CPR.However, she quickly discovered her arms weren’t strong enough, so she stamped on her father’s chest instead.Debbie then took over with some more conventional(常见的) chest compressions(按压) until the ambulance arrived.Izzy, who has been given a bravery award by her school, said：“I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn’t strong enough to use hands.I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.”“She’s a little star,” said Debbie. “I was really upset but Izzy just took over.I just can’t believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up. Colm had to have more treatment on the way to the hospital and we’ve got to see an expert.”Truck driver Colm, 35, suffered a mystery allergic reaction on Saturday and was taken to hospital, but was sent home only for it to happen again the next day. Thesecond attack was so serious that his airway swelled(气道肿胀), preventing him from breathing, his blood pressure dropped suddenly, and his heart stopped for a moment.He has now made a full recovery from his suffering.12. Izzy kicked her father in the chest _______.A. to express her helplessnessB. to practice CPR on himC. to keep him awakeD. to restart his heart13. What’s the right order of the events?① Izzy kicked Colm.② Debbie called 999.③ Izzy learned CPR.④ Colm’s heart stoppedA.③①②④B.④②③①C.③④②①D.④③①②14. What does Paragraph 8 mainly talk about?A. What Colm suffered.B. Colm's present condition.C. What caused Colm’s allergy.D. Symptoms of Colm’s allergic reaction.15. Why does the author write the news?A. To describe a serious accident.B. To prove the importance of CPR.C. To report a 9-year-old girl’s brave act.D. To call people’s attention to allergic reaction.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。

Sometimes you get the interview, but don't quite seem to land the job because you don't have related experience. Don't despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.★ Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.★ Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it's perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It's worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.★ When you apply for a job, be sure you match and list any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.★ Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.★ Don't be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified—if there's room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entry­level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won't be long before you're in the job you want.★ Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.★ When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.★ Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.Good luck!56．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a reason for the failing to find a job?A．The global financial crisis.

I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.60. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She went on a hot air balloon rideB.

The one-minute free fallC. The company of JayD. The beautiful cloudsCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ. A dvertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家)，encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.64. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.B. they believed disease could be spread in public bathsC. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inD. they considered bathing as the cause of skin diseaseof the following best describes Henry IV’s attitude to bathing?A. Uninterested.B. Curious.C. Afraid. D Approving.66. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A To present the change of views on dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.D. To stress the role of dirt.第二部份: 从后面所给的5个句子当选出可以填在文中空缺部份的选项,其中有一个句子是多余的If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well.
