They were tied with a silk ribbon and addressed to her decades ago in my father’s neat handwriting. I couldn’t imagine my serious father ever writing anything like love letters. “Would you like me to read them to you?” Mom asked with a smile. The letters were written in 1974 over the course of a month when my father traveled to Italy to care for his beloved, sick mother, leaving his wife and me, their newborn daughter, behind in Toronto, the city my parents called home after immigrating to Canada from Italy in 1956. Growing up, my father was my hero and protector, but he was also a man of few words, part of a generation of immigrant men who worked hard for a better life. I sat back while my mother read his letters to me, and thought, “Who is this guy?” My father used endearing terms I had never heard him say. He referred to my mother as “my dearest” and “my companion” who was always in his thoughts. In each letter, he enclosed a Canadian one-dollar bill for me and declared, “You and your mother are my life.” As children, we assume we know everything about our parents. But, sometimes, we find out that they were and are people with various facets. My father was proud and stubborn, and he married a woman who was his equal in that regard. During their 58-year marriage, their stubbornness often led to conflict. So it was bittersweet to hear my father’s youthful sentiments read aloud by my elderly mother with a wistful (留恋的) tone. I knew she was thinking about what could have been and what had been once upon a time. After she finished reading the letters, I held them in my hands and examined them like they were fossils. Although a man I knew as economical with his thoughts, he had filled the front and back of several pages. These letters are only part of their correspondence. My mother wrote back to my father. One day she will read those letters to me, she’s assured me. And just as with my father, they might help me discover another dimension of a parent I never knew before. 41. What kind of person did the author think her father was? A. Optimistic. B. Conservative. C. Sensitive. D. Romantic. 42. What can we know about the author’s family? A. Her mother was the family’s provider. B. She didn’t get on well with her father. C. Her parents were emigrants to Italy. D. Her parents shared similar personalities. 43. How did the author feel when she heard the words in the letters? A. Surprised. B. Awkward. C. Thrilled. D. Heartbroken. 44. What does the underlined word “facets” in paragraph 6 most probably mean? A. Interests. B. Ideas. C. Sides. D. Possibilities. 45. What did the author find out about her father through the letters? A. He was good at hiding his feelings. B. He regretted not being with his family. C. He was a loving husband and father. D. He was stubborn from the inside out. C People may use the expression “birdbrain” in English to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies. It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively, put things into categories, and make scientific discoveries. To test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample”(RMTS) tests, according to the IFL Science website. If a pair was AA, for example, then picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct. Apes and monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the University of Iowa in the US first trained two hooded crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called “identity matching-to-sample (IMTS)”, then moved onto RMTS. For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample card. The cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: One was the same as the sample (in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured), while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two worms to eat. In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles. The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports. Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is extraordinary,” he said in a news release. “Honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. But this was spontaneous.” So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently! 46. Why does the author mention the expression “birdbrain” in the opening paragraph? A. To get the reader interested in the origins of the expression. B. To urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid. C. To introduce the topic of Edward Wasserman and his experiments. D. To introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence. 47. Which of the following is TRUE about the tests on the hooded crows? A. The birds did better in RMTS than in IMTS. B. The birds were first made to do RMTS, then IMTS. C. The birds picked almost all the correct cards in RMTS. D. In the IMTS test, the birds needed to identify the sample card to get rewards. 48. In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample card with two same-sized triangles, they had to pick the test card with ________. A. two same-sized circles B. one circle and one triangle C. two different-sized circles D. two different-sized triangles 49. The underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. central B. creative C. natural D. predictable 50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Monkeys Are Clever Than Crows B. Crows Show Cleverness C. Crows Did Well in RMTS D. Don’t Look Down on Birds D Trust as explained in Wikepedia (维基百科) is the feeling of being sure someone or something can be relied upon Trust is a big topic in many people’s lives. It produces an emotional feeling that is tied to the core of a person’s very existence. Why do we want to break anyone’s trust? Why does this happen over and over again? It may arise from pride, control, dislikes, a difference of opinion and misunderstandings. Perhaps when you are living your life without self-worth and self-love then you are living your life in a continual state of negative thoughts and feelings. What you feel inside is evident by what you do and what you say. When you shift your energy within yourself and find your place of love and worth then your view of this world will change for the better. This energy shift towards the positive will shift everything that you think, say and do. Being kind to yourself projects outward to the world by being kind and good to others. This projection is the outcome of this positive energy shift. Our true self is one of love and feeling worthy of all of the goodness and happiness. We have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for content when this feeling of content can be found within ourselves. The answers to our questions about life and love are within us. Sometimes we need to give ourselves a break and to be most loving, most kind and most patient with us. Care for and love yourself to find the joy within. The love and peace of this world is in each and every one of us. Meditation (沉思) can bridge that trust that we can have in ourselves. Then we can have more trust in the world and in others. When everything around us is breaking up meditation can help to keep us centered so we can find that deep connection of love and worthiness. That is your true self wanting to shine through. We can’t control anything else but we can control what we do. When you choose to help yourself then you choose to trust yourself. Trust can lead us to a life of peace and love and fulfillment. The world has its own programs. Trust in love and peace and live your life like you mean it! 51. The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________. A. background B. comparison C. explanation D. comment 52. If you want to have a positive life attitude, you should ________. A. save your inside energy to create positive things B. find a place where you’ll be respected C. make sure what you truly want to do and say D. try to show your true self naturally and continuously 53. When you fail or feel disappointed you should ________. A. stop and adjust yourself B. continue to work even harder C. reduce the degree of your feeling of content D. try to fully recognize your own fault 54. Based on this text meditation might make us ________. A. modest when we achieve something B. move from mistrust to trust C. live a meaningful and unchangeable life D. control ourselves successfully as well as the outside world 55. By writing this text the author wants to________. A. encourage us to trust ourselves B. teach us how to deal with negative energy C explain what love and worth are D. show the importance of meditation 第II卷(共 35 分) 第三部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Most of us probably dreamed about becoming an astronaut when we were little. But how many of us actually became one, or are at least working toward it? The advice “Always follow your dreams” is something that is typically easier said than done. But still, this is the one piece of advice that Alyssa Carson wants to share with her peers. This 17-year-old girl from the US has become one of the candidates for NASA’s 2033 project to go to Mars. If everything goes well, Carson will be one of the first human beings to ever set foot on the red planet. Carson has dreamed of going to Mars since she was only three years old. Watching an astronaut-themed cartoon and learning that humans have only been to the moon but not Mars, Carson decided that she wanted to be the first one to do so. Since then she has worked hard toward this goal. At the age of 12, Carson became the first person to attend all three NASA space camps, and she sat with real astronauts in a NASA panel(座谈会) to discuss the future of Mars missions. Now 17, Carson is continuing with her space training while still taking on her high school work like a “normal” teenager, except that she studies all her subjects in four languages – English, French, Spanish and Chinese. “I don’t think there’s anything specific that makes it easier for me or makes it something that others can’t do,” Carson said in an interview with Uproxx News. “I’ve just really focused myself on what I want to accomplish.” And Carson is willing to make sacrifices for her dream. She’s fully aware of the danger of the mission and the possibility that she might never be able to come back. She also accepts the fact that she can’t get married and start a family because any loved ones left on Earth may be a distraction for her and for the mission. But Carson believes that it’s all worth it, summarizing her view with this ancient Greek proverb she once quoted, “A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they’ll never sit in.” So after all the hard work that Carson has done and all the sacrifices she’s made, everything still boils down to the simple phrase, “follow your dreams”. And while some people’s dreams may sound out of this world, in Carson’s case, they literally(毫不夸张地) are. 56. What will happen to Carson in 2033 if everything goes well? (No more than 8 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did Carson decide to be the first one to go to Mars? (No more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 58. How does Carson differ from other students for the school work?

Therefore, students appealed to our school to keep on holding the reading communication activity in future. For another, the reading communication activity was made up of reading methods, reading categories and so on. Reading methods enabled our students to reading efficiency and speed. At the same time, we understood the fact that reading should be selective because reading blindly was just a waste of time. What’s more, for the purpose of broadening our horizons, what counts was that we were supposed to read extensively, such as literature, art, history, finance, computer, etc. As a great writer said, “Books are the ladder of human progress.” I sincerely hope that you read more books in your daily life. Yours, Li jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
