Immersing themselves in the amazing, unparalleled New York theater scene, students will explore and analyze the craft, including creating an original piece and meeting professionals in the field. Throughout the term, students will use both classroom work and site visits around the downtown to examine and complete the creative process of taking an initial idea to production, gaining technical expertise (专业知识) and fluency in theater. Students will also explore different areas of professional skill development, including playwriting structure and techniques, acting methods that help bring a play to life, scene structure. The course is open to all students－from those who are curious about the field but have no prior experience to those who already have one (or more!) plays, waiting to be developed. Course Highlights ● Complete a hands-on experience in playwriting, acting and production, learning about the real processes the industry uses to create theater productions. ● Brainstorm, develop a concept, write and workshop a draft of a short play or scene, and bring it to stage with input and feedback from instructors and peers. ● Get a close-up view of the often-opaque (不透明的) business of theater, focusing on impacts to the profession brought about by social movements and current events.

He learned that the population of this particular bird was in decline. Will decided to raise money to support conservation efforts. As he was brainstorming ideas, he looked down at his feet, and suddenly he had an idea. Feet, he thought, blue feet! He decided to sell bright blue socks and donate the money to environmental organizations trying to help the birds. His younger brother Matty joined him in his effort as his partner. The boys started the Blue Feet Foundation (BFF) in 2016. In the beginning, it was a challenge for the boys to gather support for their cause. They decided to ask a better-known conservation organization to sponsor them. However, none were willing to do so. “They didn’t agree to it because we were just kids,” says Will. Although this was discouraging, the two persevered. Finally, they came across an organization they hadn’t heard of before: the Galapagos Conservancy (GC). Its mission was to support conservation in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are home to about half of the world’s blue-footed boobies. They offered to highlight the foundation in the protection’s newsletter. It boosted the BFF’s credibility. Four years later, their hard work paid off. They amassed over 18,000 Instagram followers and 10,000 Facebook followers. They sold 18,000 pairs of socks, sending them all across the globe. Orders have come from 50 different countries. If you visit the picture gallery on their website, you’ll also see blue socks being modeled by a few famous people, including members of the Blue Man Group and a Boston Bruins hockey player. Although the population of these birds in the Galapagos has declined significantly over the past 20 years, we have seen some hopeful signs. These include an increase in young birds. However, there is still work to be done. Although the decline in population is slowing, it’s not reversing. Elderly birds are dying faster than chicks are being born. 4. Which of the following can best define the boys? A. Ambitious daydreamers. B. Active bird researchers. C. Good problem solvers. D. Passionate science fans. 5. What contributed to Conservancy’s decision to help the boys? A. Their consistent goals. B. Their accidental meet. C. Their equal credibility. D. Their financial strength. 6. What’s the purpose of listing the numbers in Paragraph 4? A. To promote the fame of the Foundation. B. To show the popularity of the boys’ socks. C. To highlight the impact of the Foundation. D. To demonstrate the diversity of the customer base. 7. What can be learned about the bird population from the last paragraph? A. It remains stable. B. It remains declining. C. It is increasing shockingly. D. It is undergoing ups and downs. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Will Gladstone和他弟弟Matty创立了基金会，通过销售蓝色袜子来支持蓝脚鲣鸟的保护。尽管面临初期挑战，他们最终与加拉帕戈斯保护协会合作，提高了基金会的知名度，取得了成功。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He learned that the population of this particular bird was in decline. Will decided to raise money to support conservation efforts. As he was brainstorming ideas, he looked down at his feet, and suddenly he had an idea. Feet, he thought, blue feet! He decided to sell bright blue socks and donate the money to environmental organizations trying to help the birds. His younger brother Matty joined him in his effort as his partner. The boys started the Blue Feet Foundation (BFF) in 2016. (他了解到这种鸟的数量正在下降。Will决定筹集资金来支持保护工作。当他正在集思广益时，他低头看了看自己的脚，突然他有了一个主意。脚，他想，蓝色的脚！他决定出售亮蓝色的袜子，并把钱捐给环保组织，以帮助这些鸟类。他的弟弟Matty作为他的伙伴加入了他的努力。2016年，男孩们成立了蓝脚基金会(BFF)。)”可知，Will了解到这种鸟的数量正在下降后，就开始着手想要提供帮助，并最终想到出售袜子，成立基金会的解决方法，Matty也加入其中。由此可知，这两个男孩是很好的问题解决者。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He learned that the population of this particular bird was in decline. Will decided to raise money to support conservation efforts. (他了解到这种鸟的数量正在下降。Will决定筹集资金来支持保护工作。)”和第三段中“Finally, they came across an organization they hadn’t heard of before: the Galapagos Conservancy (GC). Its mission was to support conservation in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are home to about half of the world’s blue-footed boobies. (最后，他们遇到了一个他们以前从未听说过的组织：加拉帕戈斯保护协会(GC)。它的使命是支持加拉帕戈斯群岛的保护。这些岛屿是世界上大约一半蓝脚鲣鸟的家园。)”可知，男孩们的目标是筹集资金来支持蓝脚鲣鸟的保护工作，该协会的目标是支持大约一半蓝脚鲣鸟的家园的加拉帕戈斯群岛的保护。由此推知，他们一致的目标促使保护协会决定帮助男孩们。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“They amassed over 18,000 Instagram followers and 10,000 Facebook followers. They sold 18,000 pairs of socks, sending them all across the globe. Orders have come from 50 different countries. (他们在Instagram上有18000多名粉丝，在Facebook上有10000多名粉丝。他们卖出了18000双袜子，并将它们送到了全球各地。订单来自50个不同的国家。)”可知，这些数字表明基金会有很多支持的粉丝，袜子的销量大，且覆盖的范围广。由此推知，列出这些数字是为了突出基金会的影响。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Although the decline in population is slowing, it’s not reversing. Elderly birds are dying faster than chicks are being born. (尽管种群数量的下降正在放缓，但并没有逆转。老鸟死亡的速度比雏鸟出生的速度快。)”可知，这种鸟类的种群数量仍在下降。故选B项。 C Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understand the content. Chances are, you don’t pay much attention to the way the information is presented- particularly the font (字体) choice. That’s because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics. Although typography(排印) is missed by most of us, it’s essential in making texts legible, readable and appealing for audiences. Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font’s impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in. Perhaps surprisingly, hard-to-read fonts such as Bodoni, Comic Sans, or Monotype Corsiva are better for memorizing information than fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, according to some studies. “Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort,” says Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors, “Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text.” Font characteristics such as style, size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well, says Stephen Banham, a typography lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Experiments have proved a U-shape relationship between font size and memory: Large-font items may predict higher recall regardless of style, but very small font sizes can also introduce a desirable difficulty. A document’s specific method of formatting information also makes an impact. Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That’s because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages. 8. Why do readers often ignore the font choice? A. They lack aesthetic knowledge. B. They aim to understand the meaning. C. Their brains are not sensitive to the font. D. Fonts are of little significance in reading. 9. What does Daniel Oppenheimer say about hard-to-read fonts? A. They can lead to desirable challenges. B. They may distract readers from the text. C. The meaning of the text may be mistaken. D. They will affect reading performance negatively. 10. What can improve people’s information retention or recall? A. Using fonts of medium size. B. Choosing bright font colors. C. Putting the words in italic type D. Making the whole passage bold. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. What Fonts Make Reading Easy B. What Fonts Make Memory Lasting C. Why Fonts Impact Retention and Recall D. How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了字体选择在阅读理解、记忆和信息提取过程中的重要性。研究表明，一些难以阅读的字体对于记忆信息比Arial或Times New Roman等字体更有效。此外，字体的特征如字体大小、样式和颜色也会对信息的记忆和提取产生影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“That’s because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics.( 这是因为你的主要目标是阅读理解，而不是审美。)”可知，读者经常忽视字体，是因为读者们目标是在理解字的意思而非是字体的美学。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort,”(“难度可以作为一个警报信号，让读者意识到这项任务是具有挑战性的，需要付出精神努力。”)”以及本段中“Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text.(此外，放慢阅读速度来处理不流畅可能会增加在文本中发现错误的可能性。)”可知，Daniel Oppenheimer认为难以阅读的字体能够作为一个警报信号，让读者意识到当前阅读的这项任务是具有挑战性的，同时带来的缓慢阅读会让读者发现文本中可能出现的错误，由此推断Daniel Oppenheimer认为难以阅读的字体能够带来一些“有利的困难”。A选项“They can lead to desirable challenges.( 它们可以带来有利的挑战。)”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That’s because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer.(使用粗体或斜体等字体样式来表示重要性也可以提高记忆力。奥本海默说，这是因为人们能够更好地记住他们认为重要的信息。)”可知，通过使用粗体或斜体等字体样式来表示重要性可以提高读者对信息的保持和回忆。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“ Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font’s impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in.(除了视觉方面，研究表明，字体在我们阅读时的心理理解过程中起着重要作用。字体对你学习和记忆信息的影响可能很难有意识地注意到，但你的大脑肯定会注意到。)”以及通读全文，文章主要讲述的是字体选择在阅读理解、记忆和信息提取过程中的重要性以及产生的影响。D选项“How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory(字体如何影响学习和记忆)”概括全文，符合文章标题。故选D。 D Taking a picture of Mars is not easy. Once light bounces off the planet, it can take between 3 to 22 minutes to travel to Earth - so there aren’t truly “live” images of Mars. But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first “livestream” of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency’s Mars Express orbiter (轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday. “During Friday’s one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes,” James Godfrey, the spacecraft operations manager at the ESA’s mission control center, said in a statement. “That’s 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground. ” “Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I’m excited to see Mars as it is now - as close to a Martian(火星人) ‘now’ as we can possibly get!’ In 50-second intervals, the camera shoots across Mars, showing a side of the planet entering night, as well as some clouds billowing out on the comer. The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water. It’s with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we’ll get ”live“ images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it’s a one-hour livestream from Mars but don’t expect a detailed view of the Red Planet! 12. What can we learn from this text? A. Watching the MarsLIVE, people will have a completely real-time view of the Mars. B. The audience can watch the MarsLIVE thanks to the camera on the Mars C. About 20 years ago, the ESA launched an orbiter to search for Martians. D. The MarsLIVE is to celebrate the launch of the Mars Express mission in 2003. 13. What does the underlined word ”configuration“ in paragraph 3 mean? A. Equipment. B. Orbit. C. Planet. D. Spacecraft. 14. What is the text mainly about? A. The live images taken from orbit around Mars. B. The 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission. C. The first ”livestream“ of Mars to be shown on YouTube. D. A rare and almost real-time look into space on YouTube. 15. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The camera was originally used to shoot the Mars. B. We can get truly live Mars images in the first MarsLIVE. C. Detailed images about the Mars can’t be ensured. D. The unique MarsLIVE will live up to viewers’ expectation. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。主要报道了欧洲空间局即将在YouTube上直播火星的实时画面，虽然并非真正的“直播”，但每50秒更新一次的图像将提供近乎实时的火星观测体验。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water.(直播庆祝火星快车任务20周年，该任务于2003年发射，旨在更好地了解火星，并寻找水的痕迹)”可知，火星直播是为了庆祝2003年火星快车任务的发射。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground.(通过地面上的电线和服务器大约需要1分钟)”可知，此处是在讲述火星上的图像通过不同设备发回地球的时间，推知configuration应是“设备”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first “livestream” of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency’s Mars Express orbiter (轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday.(但在周五下午，欧洲航天局将提供最接近的东西：火星的第一次“直播”——在YouTube上罕见的、几乎是实时的太空观察，每50秒就会发布一张火星的照片，这些照片直接从该机构的火星快车轨道器上的摄像头传回。我们可以在星期五亲眼看看火星)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述了欧洲空间局即将在YouTube上直播火星的实时画面。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we’ll get ”live“ images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it’s a one-hour livestream from Mars but don’t expect a detailed view of the Red Planet!(这台相机最初是用于工程目的，我们将在周五晚上18:00在第一次火星直播中获得“实时”图像。这个视频的独特之处在于，它是一小时的火星直播，但别指望能看到这颗红色星球的详细景象!)”可知，别指望能看到这颗红色星球的详细景象，也就是暗示了关于火星的详细图像无法保证。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s up to parents and coaches to help kids draw out life lessons from sports. Sometimes we think kids will simply absorb the lessons that are obvious to us as adults. ____16____ Here’s a parent’s guide to watching the Olympics with your kids. ____17____If you see poor sportsmanship, you might ask, “What would you have done differently there?” On the more positive side, we often see Olympians thanking the officials after a competition. It can be a wonderful time to remind our kids to thank people who often go under-appreciated, such as food servers, bus drivers, and teachers. We often see Olympians picking up their teammates and perhaps even an opponent after a loss or disappointing performance. Talk with your kids about times when their classmates, friends and/or teammates are down and what they can specifically do to pick them up. ____18____ Also keep a close eye on the medal ceremonies. ____19____ For example, if a sorely disappointed Silver medalist can overcome narrowly missing Gold and share sincere congratulations that is an opportunity to talk with kids about times they were disappointed with an outcome. One last thing to keep in mind is the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” But why is this not “Fastest, Highest, Strongest?” ____20____ This is a huge lesson for our kids. In life, our focus should be on giving our own best personal performance — comparing ourselves to ourselves, not just to those around us. A. But that is not often the case. B. Kids will learn a lot from the Olympics. C. Keep your eye out for both positive and negative life lessons. D. This might be in the middle of a performance or just after it’s over. E. The reason is that the Olympic spirit calls on athletes to achieve excellence. F. Use the sports you watch on the Olympics to encourage your child to get fit. G. That’s when you’ll see the opportunity for life lessons in winning and losing gracefully. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章指导家长如何通过和孩子观看奥运会的契机教孩子一些人生道理。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes we think kids will simply absorb the lessons that are obvious to us as adults.(有时我们认为孩子们会很容易地吸取我们作为成年人看来很明显的经验教训)”和“It’s up to parents and coaches to help kids draw out life lessons from sports.(父母和教练应该帮助孩子们从体育中汲取人生的教训)”可知，孩子们不会像我们所认为的那样自己从体育中汲取人生的教训，而是需要父母和教练的指导帮助。所以选项A“但这种情况并不常见。”切合文意，前后构成转折关系，对应转折词but。因为孩子们自己能从体育中汲取人生的教训的情况并不常见，所以需要父母学习如何进行帮助，对应后文“Here’s a parent’s guide to watching the Olympics with your kids.(这是一本家长指南，教你和孩子一起看奥运会)”。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“On the more positive side, we often see Olympians thanking the officials after a competition.(更积极的一面是，我们经常看到奥运会选手在比赛结束后感谢官员)”和“We often see Olympians picking up their teammates and perhaps even an opponent after a loss or disappointing performance.(我们经常看到奥运选手在输球或令人失望的表现后，鼓励队友，甚至鼓励对手)”可知，此处是指要同时关注积极和消极两方面，所以选项C“留意积极和消极的人生教训。”切合文意。故选C。 【18题详解】 选项D中的this是指前文“We often see Olympians picking up their teammates and perhaps even an opponent after a loss or disappointing performance.(我们经常看到奥运选手在输球或令人失望的表现后，鼓励队友，甚至鼓励对手)”中提到的奥运选手在输球或令人失望的表现后，鼓励队友，甚至鼓励对手，这通常是在中场部分或刚结束时。所以选项D“这可能是在表演中或表演结束后。”切合文意。故选D。 【19题详解】 根据后文“For example, if a sorely disappointed Silver medalist can overcome narrowly missing Gold and share sincere congratulations that is an opportunity to talk with kids about times they were disappointed with an outcome.(举个例子，如果一个极度失望的银牌得主能够战胜以毫厘之差失去的金牌，并分享真诚的祝贺，那就是一个和孩子们谈论他们对结果失望的时候机会)”可知，此处是指用在颁奖典礼上看到的运动员的表现来教育孩子对得失都要学会得体应对，所以选项G“这时你会看到人生的机会，学会如何得失得体。”切合文意。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据前文“But why is this not “Fastest, Highest, Strongest?”(但为什么这不是“最快，最高，最强？”)”可知，前文提出了为什么，所以空格处应是回答原因，对应选项E中的The reason，根据后文“In life, our focus should be on giving our own best personal performance — comparing ourselves to ourselves, not just to those around us.(在生活中，我们的注意力应该放在给自己最好的个人表现上，而不仅仅是和周围的人比较)”可知，此处是指要不断变得更加优秀，所以选项E“原因是奥林匹克精神号召运动员追求卓越。”切合文意。故选E。 第二部分 语言运用(共三节，满分50分) 第一节 完形填空(共30小题;每小题1分，满分30分) A 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Juleus Ghunta is an award-winning children’s author, but growing up, he could barely ____21____.

He decided to sell bright blue socks and donate the money to environmental organizations trying to help the birds. His younger brother Matty joined him in his effort as his partner. The boys started the Blue Feet Foundation (BFF) in 2016. In the beginning, it was a challenge for the boys to gather support for their cause. They decided to ask a better-known conservation organization to sponsor them. However, none were willing to do so. “They didn’t agree to it because we were just kids,” says Will. Although this was discouraging, the two persevered. Finally, they came across an organization they hadn’t heard of before: the Galapagos Conservancy (GC). Its mission was to support conservation in the Galapagos Islands. These islands are home to about half of the world’s blue-footed boobies. They offered to highlight the foundation in the protection’s newsletter. It boosted the BFF’s credibility. Four years later, their hard work paid off. They amassed over 18,000 Instagram followers and 10,000 Facebook followers. They sold 18,000 pairs of socks, sending them all across the globe. Orders have come from 50 different countries. If you visit the picture gallery on their website, you’ll also see blue socks being modeled by a few famous people, including members of the Blue Man Group and a Boston Bruins hockey player. Although the population of these birds in the Galapagos has declined significantly over the past 20 years, we have seen some hopeful signs. These include an increase in young birds. However, there is still work to be done. Although the decline in population is slowing, it’s not reversing. Elderly birds are dying faster than chicks are being born. 4. Which of the following can best define the boys? A. Ambitious daydreamers. B. Active bird researchers. C. Good problem solvers. D. Passionate science fans. 5. What contributed to Conservancy’s decision to help the boys? A. Their consistent goals. B. Their accidental meet. C. Their equal credibility. D. Their financial strength. 6. What’s the purpose of listing the numbers in Paragraph 4? A. To promote the fame of the Foundation. B. To show the popularity of the boys’ socks. C. To highlight the impact of the Foundation. D. To demonstrate the diversity of the customer base. 7. What can be learned about the bird population from the last paragraph? A. It remains stable. B. It remains declining. C. It is increasing shockingly. D. It is undergoing ups and downs. C Whenever you read text, your brain processes the visual stimuli (刺激物) to create meaning and understand the content. Chances are, you don’t pay much attention to the way the information is presented- particularly the font (字体) choice. That’s because your main target is reading comprehension, not aesthetics. Although typography(排印) is missed by most of us, it’s essential in making texts legible, readable and appealing for audiences. Beyond the visual aspect, research shows that fonts play a significant role in the mental processes of understanding that happen while we read. A font’s impact on the way you learn and memorize information might be hard to notice consciously, but your brain is certainly tuned in. Perhaps surprisingly, hard-to-read fonts such as Bodoni, Comic Sans, or Monotype Corsiva are better for memorizing information than fonts like Arial or Times New Roman, according to some studies. “Difficulty can function as an alarm signal, giving the reader a sense that the task is challenging and will require mental effort,” says Daniel Oppenheimer, a professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and one of a 2010 study authors, “Additionally, slowing down the reading speed to deal with the disfluency may increase the probability of spotting errors in a text.” Font characteristics such as style, size and color play a role in information retention memory or recall as well, says Stephen Banham, a typography lecturer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Experiments have proved a U-shape relationship between font size and memory: Large-font items may predict higher recall regardless of style, but very small font sizes can also introduce a desirable difficulty. A document’s specific method of formatting information also makes an impact. Using font styles like bold or italics to indicate significance can also improve memory. That’s because people are better able to remember information they consider important, says Oppenheimer. Researchers found that bolded text has a higher recall than text in italic or regular styles, regardless of the font size. However, if an entire document is bolded, the emphasis is lost, and readers can no longer spot vital passages. 8. Why do readers often ignore the font choice? A. They lack aesthetic knowledge. B. They aim to understand the meaning. C. Their brains are not sensitive to the font. D. Fonts are of little significance in reading. 9 What does Daniel Oppenheimer say about hard-to-read fonts? A. They can lead to desirable challenges. B. They may distract readers from the text. C. The meaning of the text may be mistaken. D. They will affect reading performance negatively. 10. What can improve people’s information retention or recall? A. Using fonts of medium size. B. Choosing bright font colors. C Putting the words in italic type D. Making the whole passage bold. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. What Fonts Make Reading Easy B. What Fonts Make Memory Lasting C. Why Fonts Impact Retention and Recall D. How Fonts Affect Learning and Memory D Taking a picture of Mars is not easy. Once light bounces off the planet, it can take between 3 to 22 minutes to travel to Earth - so there aren’t truly “live” images of Mars. But on Friday afternoon, the European Space Agency will offer the closest thing: the first “livestream” of Mars a rare, almost real-time look into space on YouTube, which posts pictures of the planet every 50 seconds as they beam down directly from the camera mounted (安装) on the agency’s Mars Express orbiter (轨道飞行器). We can get a firsthand look at Mars on Friday. “During Friday’s one-hour livestream, the time between the images being taken from orbit around Mars and appearing on your screen will be about 18 minutes,” James Godfrey, the spacecraft operations manager at the ESA’s mission control center, said in a statement. “That’s 17 minutes for light to travel from Mars to Earth in their current configuration, and about one minute to pass through the wires and servers on the ground. ” “Normally, we see images from Mars and know that they were taken days before. I’m excited to see Mars as it is now - as close to a Martian(火星人) ‘now’ as we can possibly get!’ In 50-second intervals, the camera shoots across Mars, showing a side of the planet entering night, as well as some clouds billowing out on the comer. The livestream celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission which was launched in 2003 to better understand the planet, as well as search for traces of water. It’s with this camera, originally meant for engineering purposes, that we’ll get ”live“ images on Friday evening from 18:00 CEST in the first MarsLIVE. What makes this unique, is that it’s a one-hour livestream from Mars but don’t expect a detailed view of the Red Planet! 12. What can we learn from this text? A. Watching the MarsLIVE, people will have a completely real-time view of the Mars. B. The audience can watch the MarsLIVE thanks to the camera on the Mars C. About 20 years ago, the ESA launched an orbiter to search for Martians. D. The MarsLIVE is to celebrate the launch of the Mars Express mission in 2003. 13. What does the underlined word ”configuration“ in paragraph 3 mean? A. Equipment. B. Orbit. C. Planet. D. Spacecraft. 14. What is the text mainly about? A. The live images taken from orbit around Mars. B. The 20th anniversary of the Mars Express mission. C. The first ”livestream“ of Mars to be shown on YouTube. D. A rare and almost real-time look into space on YouTube. 15. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The camera was originally used to shoot the Mars. B. We can get truly live Mars images in the first MarsLIVE. C. Detailed images about the Mars can’t be ensured. D. The unique MarsLIVE will live up to viewers’ expectation. 第二节(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s up to parents and coaches to help kids draw out life lessons from sports. Sometimes we think kids will simply absorb the lessons that are obvious to us as adults. ____16____ Here’s a parent’s guide to watching the Olympics with your kids. ____17____If you see poor sportsmanship, you might ask, “What would you have done differently there?” On the more positive side, we often see Olympians thanking the officials after a competition. It can be a wonderful time to remind our kids to thank people who often go under-appreciated, such as food servers, bus drivers, and teachers. We often see Olympians picking up their teammates and perhaps even an opponent after a loss or disappointing performance. Talk with your kids about times when their classmates, friends and/or teammates are down and what they can specifically do to pick them up. ____18____ Also keep a close eye on the medal ceremonies. ____19____ For example, if a sorely disappointed Silver medalist can overcome narrowly missing Gold and share sincere congratulations that is an opportunity to talk with kids about times they were disappointed with an outcome. One last thing to keep in mind is the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” But why is this not “Fastest, Highest, Strongest?” ____20____ This is a huge lesson for our kids. In life, our focus should be on giving our own best personal performance — comparing ourselves to ourselves, not just to those around us. A. But that is not often the case. B. Kids will learn a lot from the Olympics. C. Keep your eye out for both positive and negative life lessons. D. This might be in the middle of a performance or just after it’s over. E.

That’s when you’ll see the opportunity for life lessons in winning and losing gracefully. 第二部分 语言运用(共三节，满分50分) 第一节 完形填空(共30小题;每小题1分，满分30分) A 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Juleus Ghunta is an award-winning children’s author, but growing up, he could barely ____21____.
