When Tyra Damm lost her hushand, Steve Damm, to brain cancer in 2009, her heart broke for herself and her kids. And that first year, one day stood out: his birthday. Almost out of desperation, she hatched a plan for Steve’s next birthday. She would use it to help people she’d never met.
On November 4, 2011, Tyra asked friends in her Texas community to perform random acts of kindness in Steve’s honor. A movement — and the hashtag (话题标签) #dammkind — was born. In the years since, #dammkind has been moving many people Tyra has never met to do good deeds: buying coffee or ice cream for a person in line behind them, baking cookies for Meals on Wheels, and so on.
Doing good in her husband’s hashtagged name is a natural extension of who he was. Steve was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2007. He began chemotherapy (化疗) while still working as an administrator at a medical clinic for poor children.
Tyra uses her blog not only to record the #dammkind deeds but also to spread the word about Steve. The website contains a card that people can print and give away as they perform an act of cindness. It reads, “This gift is given in memory of Steve Damm. His life was cut short by brain cancer, but his legacy continues. He loved kindness and he loved life. I’m happy to share some of that life with you.”
Tyra estimates that #dammkind followers completed at least 400-acs of kindness in 2017. After Steve died in 2009, Tyra says, she was overwhelmed by the way her neighbors in Frisco, Texas, came together to help her family with rides, meals, babysitting, and more. Repaying their support — for her and especially for her kids — helped fuel her mission.
The movement has helped the children — Cooper, now 16, and Katie, 12 — make positive connections as they think of their father. “They don’t have the same memories as I do,” Tyra says. “It’s a way for them to see what was important to Steve is still important to us.”
4. Why did Tyra start #dammkind movement?
A. To promote her blog. B. To repay her neighbors’ help.
C. To honor her late husband. D. To raise money for people in need.
5. What kind of person is Steve according to the text?
A. Ambitious and brave. B. Generous and honest.
C Creative and responsible. D. Kind and life-loving.
6. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Moved. B. Surprised. C. Excited. D. Delighted.
7. What effect does the movement have on Tyra’s children?
A. They are not sad for their father's death anymore.
B. They remember well what their father looked like.
C. They realize they can spread kindness like their father.
D. They are glad to see more people knowing their father.
C
When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激) to do so.”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author. Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
8. What is the new finding about bees?
A. They are fond of having fun. B. They are faithful to the queen.
C. They are adaptable to changes D. They are skilled at rolling balls.
9. How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks. B. By rewarding bees with food.
C. By making bees feel at home. D. By building new homes for bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
A. The forms of bees’ interaction. B. The complexity of bees’ minds.
C. The examples of mammals’ play. D. The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
11. What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?
A. It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B. It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
C. It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
D. It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.
D
“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math achievement over time.
Parents who make comments connecting their children’s performance with personal qualities like IQ are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who connect their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were divided into two groups across a year to measure their math achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their IQ or other personal qualities. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give both responses. While responses focused on strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement results, children who receive more responses about their personal qualities — especially, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, show higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses mean poor math change in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to encourage children.
12. Which of the following is an example of process response?
A. What works well for your study? B. Running is in your DNA.
C. You are a lucky dog. D. Why are you such a math talent?
13. What can be learned from the study results?
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
14. What do researchers advise parents to do?
A. Ignore children’s math problems. B. Protect their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance. D. Limit person responses.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Strategy Children Use to Learn Math Helps
B. Responses to improve Children’s Math Performance
C. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math

When Tyra Damm lost her hushand, Steve Damm, to brain cancer in 2009, her heart broke for herself and her kids. And that first year, one day stood out: his birthday. Almost out of desperation, she hatched a plan for Steve’s next birthday. She would use it to help people she’d never met.
On November 4, 2011, Tyra asked friends in her Texas community to perform random acts of kindness in Steve’s honor. A movement — and the hashtag (话题标签) #dammkind — was born. In the years since, #dammkind has been moving many people Tyra has never met to do good deeds: buying coffee or ice cream for a person in line behind them, baking cookies for Meals on Wheels, and so on.
Doing good in her husband’s hashtagged name is a natural extension of who he was. Steve was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2007. He began chemotherapy (化疗) while still working as an administrator at a medical clinic for poor children.
Tyra uses her blog not only to record the #dammkind deeds but also to spread the word about Steve. The website contains a card that people can print and give away as they perform an act of cindness. It reads, “This gift is given in memory of Steve Damm. His life was cut short by brain cancer, but his legacy continues. He loved kindness and he loved life. I’m happy to share some of that life with you.”
Tyra estimates that #dammkind followers completed at least 400-acs of kindness in 2017. After Steve died in 2009, Tyra says, she was overwhelmed by the way her neighbors in Frisco, Texas, came together to help her family with rides, meals, babysitting, and more. Repaying their support — for her and especially for her kids — helped fuel her mission.
The movement has helped the children — Cooper, now 16, and Katie, 12 — make positive connections as they think of their father. “They don’t have the same memories as I do,” Tyra says. “It’s a way for them to see what was important to Steve is still important to us.”
4. Why did Tyra start #dammkind movement?
A. To promote her blog. B. To repay her neighbors’ help.
C. To honor her late husband. D. To raise money for people in need.
5. What kind of person is Steve according to the text?
A. Ambitious and brave. B. Generous and honest.
C. Creative and responsible. D. Kind and life-loving.
6. What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” mean in Paragraph 5?
A. Moved. B. Surprised. C. Excited. D. Delighted.
7. What effect does the movement have on Tyra’s children?
A. They are not sad for their father's death anymore.
B. They remember well what their father looked like.
C. They realize they can spread kindness like their father.
D. They are glad to see more people knowing their father.

When put to tests, bees have long proved that they’ve got a lot more to offer than pollinating (授粉), making honey and being loyal to a queen. The hard-working insects can change their behavior when things seem difficult, and now some scientists find there is proof that they also like to play.
Scientists from Queen Mary University of London performed an experiment, in which they set up a container that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with some small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees “went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly, despite no apparent incentive (刺激) to do so.”
Earlier studies have shown that the black and yellow bugs are willing to learn new tricks in exchange for food or other rewards. In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact with objects as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seem to be more playful than adult bees. “This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds,” said Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary University of London, who led the study.
The study’s first author. Samadi Galpay, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, states that it is more evident that bees may be capable of experiencing feelings. “They may actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger animals do. This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more,” she says.
8. What is the new finding about bees?
A. They are fond of having fun. B. They are faithful to the queen.
C. They are adaptable to changes D. They are skilled at rolling balls.
9. How did scientists remove external influences in the experiment?
A. By teaching bees new tricks. B. By rewarding bees with food.
C. By making bees feel at home. D. By building new homes for bees
10. What are Lars Chittka’s words mainly about?
A. The forms of bees’ interaction. B. The complexity of bees’ minds.
C. The examples of mammals’ play. D. The purpose of mammals’ enjoyment.
11. What does Samadi Galpay say about the study result?
A. It backs up prior understanding of insects.
B. It reveals reasons for bees’ positive feelings.
C. It drives research on animals’ emotional state.
D. It contributes to wildlife conservation on Earth.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In this case, to get rid of external factors, scientists made sure the bees had adapted to their new home and that their environment was stress-free.(在这种情况下,为了消除外部因素,科学家们确保蜜蜂已经适应了它们的新家,并且它们的环境没有压力)”可知,科学家通过让蜜蜂有家的感觉从而在实验中消除外部影响。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Lars Chittka说的“This research provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more complicated than we imagine. There are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds(这项研究有力地表明,昆虫的思维远比我们想象的复杂。有很多动物只是为了享乐而玩耍,但大多数例子来自于年轻的哺乳动物和鸟类)”可知,Lars Chittka的话表明了昆虫的思维非常复杂。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This finding has effects on our understanding of the sense and welfare of insects, which, consequently, encourages us to respect and protect wildlife on Earth ever more(这一发现影响了我们对昆虫感知和福利的理解,从而鼓励我们更加尊重和保护地球上的野生动物)”可知,该研究结果有助于保护地球上的野生动物。故选D项。

“You’re so smart!” This encouraging response to children’s math performance is commonly heard. Recently, a new study, conducted by the University of Georgia, found that encouraging children with responses related to their personal characteristics or inborn abilities might weaken their math achievement over time.
Parents who make comments connecting their children’s performance with personal qualities like IQ are using what’s referred to as person responses. In contrast, parents who connect their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.
For the study, researchers asked more than 500 parents to report on how they responded to their children’s math performance and their math beliefs and goals. Children were divided into two groups across a year to measure their math achievement.
The results show that parents who view math ability as changeable are more likely to give process responses focused on their children’s strategy use and efforts rather than their IQ or other personal qualities. In contrast, parents who believe math ability is unchangeable and that math failure can’t be constructive give more person responses. Parents with high expectations for their children give both responses. While responses focused on strategy and efforts are not related to any achievement results, children who receive more responses about their personal qualities — especially, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, show higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.
Because person responses mean poor math change in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home. Another recommendation for parents is to think about their own beliefs and goals for their kids and examine how these might lead them to respond in person or process ways. Simply telling parents to avoid talking about math ability may not be enough. Focusing less on how children perform and more on their strategy and enjoyment of math might be a more effective way to encourage children.
12. Which of the following is an example of process response?
A. What works well for your study? B. Running is in your DNA.
C. You are a lucky dog. D. Why are you such a math talent?
13. What can be learned from the study results?
A. Parents prefer to give more process responses.
B. Person responses can discourage children from learning math.
C. Process responses help with children’s math achievement.
D. Children are more likely to be affected by math anxiety.
14. What do researchers advise parents to do?
A. Ignore children’s math problems. B. Protect their own beliefs.
C. Stress children’s performance. D. Limit person responses.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Strategy Children Use to Learn Math Helps
B. Responses to improve Children’s Math Performance
C. The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters
D. Suggestions for Parents to Teach Their Children Math
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应,会对孩子产生不同的作用;用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子,可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩,所以建议家长在家里限制这种类型的反应。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In contrast, parents who connect their children’s actions, such as efforts or strategy use, to their performance are using process responses.(相比之下,将孩子的行为,如努力或策略使用,与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应)”可知,将孩子的行为与他们的表现联系起来的父母使用的是过程反应,分析四个选项,A项“What works well for your study?(什么对你的学习有效?)”将孩子的行为与表现联系起来,符合语境,属于“过程反应”,故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“children who receive more responses about their personal qualities — especially, related to failure — are more likely to avoid harder math problems, show higher levels of math anxiety, and score lower on math achievement tests.(那些对自己的个人品质,尤其是与失败有关的品质,得到更多回应的孩子,更有可能避免更难的数学问题,表现出更高的数学焦虑水平,并且在数学成绩测试中得分更低)”可推理出,个人反应会阻碍孩子学习数学,故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Because person responses mean poor math change in children over time, researchers suggest parents limit this type of responses at home.(由于对人的反应意味着随着时间的推移,孩子的数学变化很差,研究人员建议父母在家里限制这种反应)”可知,专家建议父母限制个人反应,故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章主要内容是说父母对孩子的数学学习做出不同的反应,会对孩子产生不同的作用;用与个人特征或天生能力相关的反应来鼓励孩子,可能会削弱他们的数学动机和成绩,所以建议家长在家里限制这种类型的反应。所以B项“The Way Parents Talk to Children on Math Matters(父母与孩子谈论数学的方式很重要)”作为本文的题目与文章主题相符合。故选C项。

Karie double-checked the words on her spelling test .If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’ First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand new dictionary.
Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-1-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She had spelled honesty, not honestly. She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
Ms. McCormack graded the test papers at the break. Meanwhile, Karie sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then, Ms. McCormack walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat, “Congratulations. Karie! You did it!” she announced.
The whole class burst into applause! Ms McCormack presented Karie with her prize. Karie grinned as she read the label on the box: To Karie Carter; for her perfect first-quarter score in spelling.
“Everything OK?” Mom asked as Karie burst through the front door after school. Karie didn’t answer. As if by magic, she took out her spelling test paper and prize and showed them to her mother, Mom hugged her, asking her to put the test paper on the fridge so that Dad could see it when he got home.
Karie took another look at the test paper before putting it on the fridge. Her hands stopped in the midair. She just couldn’t believe her own eyes. Honesly? YES! H-O-N-E-S-L-Y.
Mom sensed something unusual and asked why. Karie stuffed the test paper into her backpack and explained that she was just too excited. Mom brought her some tea. Yes, a “t” was exactly what she needed.
After drinking a little, Karie plodded(重步走) down the hall, lost in thought How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all?

【答案】Later Dad came in with excitement. “Where's your spelling test, Jane?” Dad asked eagerly. Jane looked away from her father. Anyhow, she reluctantly went to her room and pulled out the test paper. Dad fixed his eyes on the paper, a pleasant smile lifting the corner of his mouth. “I'm proud of you, sweetie. We need to celebrate it tonight.” Jane pretended to be smiling all the time. Meanwhile a sense of guilt rose inside her. Feeling she didn't deserve the prize, she had a sleepless night for the first time in her life.
The next morning, Jane went to school earlier than usual. Ms. McCormack was unlocking the classroom. “You're an early bird.” Ms. McCormack said. Jane's hands trembled. She handed her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can't keep this. I misspelled 'honestly' and you didn't catch it.” For a moment, Ms. McCormack stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then picking up her pen, she crossed out the word “perfect” and wrote “honest” before returning the dictionary to Jane. “Keep this. But for honesty.”
【解析】
