Here are four favorite books for young readers.
Miss Rumphius
Miss Rumphius dreams of living by the sea, traveling the world and making it a more beautiful place — and she does it in her own ways, living alone with her cat and sowing lupine (羽扇豆) seeds along the coast of Maine despite the local kids who call her “That Crazy Old Lady”. Barbara Cooney based Miss Rumphius on a real person-Maine resident Hilda Hamlin, who was known as the “Lupine Lady” for her habit of sowing seeds. (For ages 5 to 8)
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
In the light of the moon, a little egg lay on a leaf. Then it became a hungry caterpillar who went into the hearts of kids everywhere. Eric Carle’s charming story and beautiful pictures make The Very Hungry Caterpillar a classic for kids. (For ages 2 to 5)
The Napping House
It’s a soft gray rainy day and everyone is asleep in the Napping House-but unfortunately, they are all trying to pile into the same bed, with unfortunate but funny results. This book by Audrey Wood (author) and Don Wood (illustrator) will put any kid to sleep-in the best possible way. (For ages 4 to 7)
Good Dog, Carl
Little Madeleine has a pretty great babysitter: a big friendly dog named Carl. Together, they go to the store and to the zoo, to parties and daycare classes. In this book, Alexandra Day lets readers form their own ideas about what’s happening on each page. (For ages 1 to 4)

“Is this a high school or a small town?” I thought to myself scanning (浏览) my campus map. It was my first day of classes at my senior high school. I felt like an ant at that huge school.
I found my schedule and placed it next to the map. I had a biology class at 9:30 am in the BISIC building. I looked at my watch. It was 9:05 am, which gave me plenty of time, or so I thought. After walking around for 15 minutes, unable to find my way, I began to get very anxious. Just then a middle-aged woman in a bright purple dress approached (走近) me and asked me if I needed help. “Yes,” I said. “I am looking for the BISIC building.” A smile appeared on the lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, that is nearby!” She offered to direct me to my class, and I made it to my first class on time.
The strange faces around me brought a sense of loneliness. I didn’t know one person in that great big class. When my last class came to a close, the nervousness of the day finally disappeared.
It was finally time to go home. Along my walk, I recollected my classes and activities of the day and the new friends I had made. The comfort of arriving home was the best feeling that day. The day had so many things. All in all, I felt very thankful to have the chance to study in such a great high school.

【考题猜想阅读理解记叙文02】
On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable.
Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.”
Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted.
“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.”
1.What might be the reason why Emma approached Jim initially?
A.To greet him. B.To seek assistance.
C.To ask for food. D.To make friends with him.
2.What makes Emma unique according to Jim?
A.Her enormous body. B.Her feeding ability.

【考题猜想阅读理解记叙文03】
I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones. I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her.
So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and tucked them all over the city: in cafes, in libraries, and even in the subway. I blogged about those letters and promised if asked for a hand-written letter, I would write one.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters.
Today I run a global organization fueled by those trips to the mailbox. It is a miracle. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people brought up in a paperless world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in twitter.
Therefore, I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.” And a man, who had decided to take his life, slept safely with a stack of letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These stories convince me that letter-writing will never need to be about efficiency, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, the mailing.
1.Why did the author share her experience in college?
A.To show her care for her family. B.To prove her habit of writing letters.
C.To express her feelings attached to letters. D.To present her love for writing letters.
2.What caused the author to start the act?
A.She advocated the paperless lifestyle.
B.She intended to provide professional aid.
C.She tried to improve her communication skills.
D.She aimed to give emotional support with letters.
3.Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”?
A.It has magic power to melt ice. B.It inspires people to be brave.
C.It makes people’s mental diseases go away. D.It serves as a conversation starter.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Family Letters Are Priceless B.Love for Writing Never Lessens
C.World Needs More Love Letters D.Hand-written Letters Improve Efficiency

Zu Wenbao is a 23-year-old young man with autism (自闭症). It can be hard for a person with autism to find a job or make friends. The disease is not well known and there is not much support for people like Zu. He is nonverbal, which means he does not speak. But he is doing better now as he is learning music and spending time with other young people at a school called Chen’s Studio in Beijing.
Chen’s Studio started offering music lessons for people with autism when the pandemic (流行病) started.
Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, brings her son to the music school every Sunday so he can study with the teacher,

Although Zu is older than the other young people at Chen’s Studio, "they all take care of him like he’s their brother,” Zhao said.
Chen knows the young people with autism will have trouble getting jobs, so he hopes music will help them make a living. The Star Kids band has already played some concerts.
At the start, it was hard. Chen became frustrated (沮丧的) when he had trouble communicating with his students. However, it eventually became easier. He said he knows it is hard for them to communicate. But “to some degree, I think music might be their language”.

If you’re in high school like me, you’ve probably begun to wonder what you’re going to be in the coming years of your life.
The best way to plan for the future is to have an outline (草案) that is likely to change. After talking to a lot of college graduates about where they plan on going after college, you may find that those who seemed to have it all figured out (弄清楚) in high school ended up to be the most confused (困惑的). Sometimes the things you think you love don’t turn out to be as fun as you thought. So keep an open mind, and be ready to change directions. Outline for yourself, and most importantly, try new things.
I’m only a junior in high school. My idea of what my future will look like will probably be wildly different in a few years. So I can’t tell you exactly what my plans for my future are. For now, the best I can do to provide a good foundation (基础) for my future is to pay attention to the shorter-term goals. I want to keep my grades high. I want to get a high SAT score.
I’ve built this foundation of my own grades, and even my own hobbies that I am proud of. I have always loved three things: writing, math, and science. Time has gone on, and those things have gotten more specific (明确的). I’m sure as I get older those things will be more specific, but those are the things I enjoy. With these things, I’ve set a goal for myself, and I hope to achieve it.
These are just plans, anyway. These are just ideas for how I think plans should be made for my own future. I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet. Maybe in two years, when I’ve graduated I could tell you more, but for now all I have are goals.

【考题猜想阅读理解说明文03】
Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn. Students are encouraged to “think hard”, practice skills, solve problems, struggle with complex questions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in their own words through writing and discussion, rather than receive information inactively from the teacher.
Active learning is based on the Theory of Constructivism (建构主义理论), which stresses the fact that learners build their own understanding upon their existing knowledge. Researchers also believe that learning should be closely connected and within a meaningful context. Besides, learning experiences for young people should be appropriate to their level of development.
There is now a wealth of research that shows us that simply telling students what they need to know doesn’t help them to gain a deep understanding of a subject area. Instead, teachers should challenge their students’ thinking. Teachers should also keep students engaged and active in their own learning process so as to build students’ knowledge and understanding.
By giving students greater involvement and control over their learning, active learning increases students’ interest and develops their learning ability. This means that students are better able to continue learning once they have left school and college. It also prepares students better for both higher education and for the workplace because analytical (分析的) skills help them to be better at solving problems. Universities and employers value this.
Since an active learning method encourages all students to stay focused on their learning, teachers will often see students show greater interest in their studies. They also enjoy the level of academic discussion with their students which an active learning approach encourages.
1.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To advocate active learning. B.To further explain active learning.
C.To present application of active learning. D.To evidence the effects of active learning.
2.How should teachers promote active learning in students?
A.By offering ideas. B.By giving explanation.
C.By feeding information. D.By encouraging thinking.
3.What can be a benefit of active learning?
A.Higher education admission rate.
B.Better life-long learning ability.
C.Fewer complex questions while studying.
D.Greater teacher control over students’ learning.
4.Which aspect of active learning does the passage focus on?
A.Its features. B.Its rules. C.Its background. D.Its development.

Where do teens get junk food (垃圾食品)? In more than a third of the U.S. high schools, the CDC reports.
A study shows that in some states, teens find it much easier to get junk food. In Utah, for example, more than four out of five high schools sell candies and more than three out of four sell high-fat, salty snacks.
“But progress is being made,” says Howell Wechsler, director of CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health. “We see quite a few states where the number of schools selling junk food in vending machines (自动售货机) is very low.”
In a study of high schools in 25 states and nine cities, the percentage of high schools selling junk food during lunch periods dropped from 53 percent in 2016 to about 37 percent in 2018. Yet there was no change in the percentage of high schools selling junk food before and after the lunch bell rang.
Why do schools sell food that harms kids’ health? Money, Wechsler says. Sales from vending machines, and snack bars come directly to schools without strings (附带条件) by state or city school systems.
Faced with increasing financial pressures, schools are tempted (诱惑) to make deals with the junk food companies. However, the success some schools have achieved set others a good example. “In some places, schools are selling healthier choices and continuing to bring in revenue (收入),” Wechsler says. “The great progress made in these states shows that changes are possible to make.”
Wechsler also says schools that replace junk food with healthy food see a drop in revenue at first but then see revenue climb back up after a year or two.
1.When do schools make progress in selling less junk food?
A.Before lunch. B.During lunchtime. C.After lunch. D.Over dinner.
2.Why do schools sell food that harms kids’ health?
A.Students prefer junk food to healthy food. B.Students have few healthy food to choose from.
C.They make deals with the junk food companies. D.They want to make more money to run the school.
3.Schools which are selling healthy food will ______.
A.be supported by their students B.suffer a loss in revenue for the moment
C.be given some strings by the government D.not make enough money to run the school
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Schools sell junk food to teens. B.Teens prefer junk food in school.
C.Schools care more about teens health. D.Junk food is popular with teens at school.

The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia (痴呆) in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: “These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.”
For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
“However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were from Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
1.What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. B.Experimental studies on diseases.
C.Positive effects of doing exercises. D.Advantages of sport y woman over man.
2.Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise?
A.To assess their cardiovascular capacity. B.To predict their maximum heart rate.
C.To change their habits of working out. D.To detect their potential health problems.
3.What do we know about Dr Horder’s study?
A.Data collection was a lengthy process. B.It aimed to find a cure for dementia.
C.Some participants drop out of it. D.The results were far from satisfactory.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia
B.Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise
C.Biking Improves Women’s Cardiovascular Fitness
D.Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia

You’ve probably been told countless times that exercise is good for your health and fitness, and it’s tempting to assume that more is automatically better. But there comes a point of diminishing returns, and it’s possible to overdo it.
The first thing to ask yourself if you’re wondering whether you’ve exercised too much is: “Why are you exercising?” Once you get past five hours of vigorous exercise per week or so, you’re not exercising for health, you’re exercising for performance. And it’s possible to stress your body beyond what it can bounce back from, said Kristen Dieffenbach, an exercise scientist.
You work out, and your body responds by getting fitter, stronger and faster. These improvements don’t happen during the workout itself, but occur during the recovery period.
As long as your body is able to keep up with this repair work, your workouts will continue to aid your performance. But when the stress from your workouts builds up beyond your capacity to recover, you have entered the zone of too much, known in the sporting community as overtraining.
What makes things tricky is that the line between training hard and overtraining is fuzzy. The most reliable signs come from your subjective feelings of well-being. Other classic signs of overtraining include trouble sleeping, feeling run down and not being able to shake minor colds and other respiratory infections.

From London’s Trafalgar Square to major cities across Britain, tens of thousands of British people have joined Chinese communities to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.

“Now it is so different, and we are seeing local communities all over the country taking part, alongside their own Chinese populations,” he said. “It is clear to me that the celebrations will continue to grow in Britain.

Around 20 students from the University of Malta took part in a Chinese tea-tasting event on the campus on Wednesday to add a special flavor to their Chinese-language course.
For most students, it was their first time to receive an expert introduction to the rich Chinese tea culture and traditional ways of making tea, with special attention to choosing the right water temperature for Chinese tea.
The event was hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta. The master of the event was Sun Yi, a teacher at the institute. She started the event with a brief introduction to Chinese tea culture, followed by a practical demonstration of handling the different kinds of tea leaves. She described the central role of tea in the daily life of Chinese people and taught students how to pronounce “drink”, “tea” and “good” in Mandarin (普通话).
“I love Chinese tea very much,” said Lexuri Vazquez, a third-year student majoring in international relations. She said she hadn’t really appreciated the difference between black and green tea before. Thanks to the tea tasting, however, this will change, she added. She would love to go to China one day to learn about more aspects of Chinese culture in the future.
Jackie Theuma, office administrator of the Confucius Institute at the university, said she had tasted different kinds of Chinese tea, as the institute’s director, Ji Nengwen who is a Chinese, always shared his tea with her and other colleagues. Theuma has been working at the institute for 11 years, and Chinese culture and language have become a part of her life.
Sun found the success of the event inspirational. The Confucius Institute holds cultural events as part of its Chinese-language teaching program to give students an opportunity to better understand what they learn in the classroom. “I will spare no efforts to introduce more aspects of Chinese culture through more events to students, and further raise their interest in learning Chinese and understanding Chinese culture,” Sun said.

A local dog in Moundsville, West Virginia, has captured the admiration of the community by finding over 150 lost disc golf discs (高尔夫球盘) at a popular park.
Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner, Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir.

The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs.
“Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.”

【考题猜想阅读理解新闻报道02】
Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet. They carried out their own research projects, as NASA researchers watched to see whether they would develop cabin fever (幽闭烦躁症), a feeling of upset and impatience when people have been inside for too long. The mission is in the hope of better understanding life on Mars.
For the mission, surfing, fresh air and sunshine were all off the menu. During the eight months, the scientists had to live together in just 1, 300 square feet of living space, built on the side of the Mauna Loa (a volcano). Whenever they wanted to take a short walk outside their “house”, they had to put on a 40-pound spacesuit. As if to make things even tougher, showers were limited to eight minutes each week.
Perhaps it should not be overly surprising that with the six having now completed their mission, they said re-entering the outside world was “a big joy”.
One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs. The mission commander, Ms Lenio, said she learnt to play an instrument and improved her French. Another scientist, Sophie Milam, excitedly posteda model boat made out of sticks by herself.
But it wasn’t all fun. About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, “If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.”
Luckily, it did seem that the scientists had succeeded in avoiding cabin fever—Ms Lenio referred to her partners as “lovely people”.
1.Why does the author mention a trip to Hawaii in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the special mission.
B.To describe the easy life of scientists.
C.To tell us Hawaii is popular among visitors.
D.To show Hawaii is a perfect place to do research.
2.What can we learn from the scientists’ blogs?
A.Life on “Mars” was always colorful.
B.They did what they liked to kill time.
C.They were hopeless during the mission.
D.They learned something from each other.
3.What do Ms Lenio’s words in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.They wouldn’t meet the problem on Mars.
B.The result would have been more serious on Mars.
C.Ms Lenio felt lucky to survive the mission.
D.The mission was actually meaningless.
4.What may be the best title of the text?
A.Scientists prove living on Mars is possible
B.Scientists learn a lot during their trip to Mars
C.Six scientists’ trip to Hawaii simulates a mission to Mars
D.Six scientists successfully complete their mission on Mars

Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life.
After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important.
The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.
1.What does progress make us do?
A.Set lifelong goals. B.Go forward easily.
C.Think about new things. D.Live healthily and happily.
2.What does Paragraph 3 tell us?
A.We should support different people. B.Some people can push us to failure.
C.Confidence helps us make progress. D.Different schools expect the same progress.
3.What does the writer say about slow progress?
A.It often goes smoothly. B.It always gives us a clear mind.
C.It sometimes stops progress. D.It still means progress.
4.Which can be a proper title for the text?
A.Ideas about Making Progress B.Keys to Speeding up Progress
C.Meanings of Having Confidence D.Suggestions on Relationships

Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.
Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.
Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don't want her to form the perception (看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have.
Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations (局限) are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford.
Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.
Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money.
1.What do you know about Ashish Khanna?
A.Pocket money helps children develop better.
B.He can have much control of his child by money.
C.He was given too much pocket money when young.
D.He will buy something he thinks his child really needs.
2.What do Rakesh Shah and Rajiv Patel have in common?
A.They allow their children to spend money freely.
B.They want their children to learn to manage money.
C.They teach their children the difficulty of making money.
D.They ask their children to get pocket money by working.
3.According to Vikram Desai, what do children learn from earning pocket money?
A.Money is not easy to get.
B.Money can be got from trees.
C.One can get lots of money if he/she works hard.
D.Money is not so important to people nowadays.
4.Who would give his child pocket money every month?
A.Ashish Khanna.B.Sharad Sanghi. C.Rakesh Shah. D.Rajiv Patel.

Good Dog, Carl

“Is this a high school or a small town?” I thought to myself scanning (浏览) my campus map. It was my first day of classes at my senior high school. I felt like an ant at that huge school.
I found my schedule and placed it next to the map. I had a biology class at 9:30 am in the BISIC building. I looked at my watch. It was 9:05 am, which gave me plenty of time, or so I thought. After walking around for 15 minutes, unable to find my way, I began to get very anxious. Just then a middle-aged woman in a bright purple dress approached (走近) me and asked me if I needed help. “Yes,” I said. “I am looking for the BISIC building.” A smile appeared on the lady’s face. “Oh, don’t worry, that is nearby!” She offered to direct me to my class, and I made it to my first class on time.
The strange faces around me brought a sense of loneliness. I didn’t know one person in that great big class. When my last class came to a close, the nervousness of the day finally disappeared.
It was finally time to go home. Along my walk, I recollected my classes and activities of the day and the new friends I had made. The comfort of arriving home was the best feeling that day. The day had so many things. All in all, I felt very thankful to have the chance to study in such a great high school.

【考题猜想阅读理解记叙文02】
On a sunny morning in 2001, Jim, a skilled diver and ocean lover, was diving as usual around Palm Beach in the Bahamas when he spotted a giant tiger shark circling a few feet away. The shark, which he later named Emma, was clearly struggling in pain. Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. Despite the obvious risks, he managed to pull the hook out, careful not to cause any further injury to the animal. Jim has since removed four other hooks from Emma’s mouth on several occasions and sometimes freed her from fishing lines or plastic bags. The two have become inseparable.
Every time Jim goes into the water in the area of Palm Beach, Emma comes around and rubs her head against him as a sign of affection (喜爱). It’s not the kind of behavior most people would expect from tiger sharks, which could easily tear a person apart. “When you suddenly come across a huge shark, it seems like it might end your life,” Jim said. “What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.”
Emma will always recognize Jim every time he dives in her area even if he changes diving equipment. Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted.
“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient (有感情的) animal just like cats and dogs.” Jim said. “To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark.”
1.What might be the reason why Emma approached Jim initially?
A.To greet him. B.To seek assistance.
C.To ask for food. D.To make friends with him.
2.What makes Emma unique according to Jim?
A.Her enormous body. B.Her feeding ability.
C.Her high research value. D.Her pet-like character.
3.What can we learn from the text?
A.Emma can read Jim`s sign language.
B.Emma has never attacked human beings.
C.Jim once saved Emma from a deadly disease.
D.Jim has removed four hooks from Emma`s mouth.
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.A Diver and His Odd Friend
B.An Exciting Diving Experience
C.Jim: A Person Devoted to Ocean Protection
D.Palm Beach: An Ideal Base for Shark Watching
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.A
【导语】本文的体裁是记叙文。文章讲述了潜水员Jim与一只名为Emma的虎鲨之间的特殊友谊。
1.推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“Seeing Jim, Emma swam close to him seemingly quite on purpose. With great fear and curiosity, Jim checked and found a fishing hook in Emma’s mouth. (看到吉姆,艾玛似乎是故意游向他。带着极大的恐惧和好奇,吉姆检查了一下,发现艾玛嘴里叼着一个鱼钩。)”可知,Emma靠近Jim是为了寻求帮助。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“What makes Emma so special is that she’s so loving and affectionate. She’s not a mindless killer but a sentient animal just like cats and dogs. (艾玛的特别之处在于她充满爱心和深情。她不是一个没有头脑的杀手,而是像猫和狗一样有感情的动物。)”可知,Jim认为Emma的特别之处在于她像宠物一样的性格。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Over time, she has learned his hand signals — an invitation to get her head rubbed and Jim claims that she started acting like a playful dog who loves being petted. (随着时间的推移,她学会了他的手势——邀请她摸摸头的手势,吉姆说她开始表现得像一只喜欢被抚摸的顽皮的狗。)”可知,艾玛能读懂吉姆的手语。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章最后一段中的“To have a connection that lasts the entire time you`re in the water is so moving and so influential. One of the best things that have happened to me is the discovery of the affectionate aspect of this tiger shark. (你在水里的整个时间都有一种联系,这种联系是如此感人,如此有影响力。发生在我身上的最好的事情之一就是发现了这只虎鲨深情的一面。)”可知,文章讲述了潜水员Jim和虎鲨Emma之间的特殊友谊,因此“A Diver and His Odd Friend (潜水员和他的奇怪朋友)”是最佳标题。故选A。
【考题猜想阅读理解记叙文03】
I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, in Facebook, in texting or cell phones. I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her.
So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of. I wrote those same kinds of letters like my mother for strangers, and tucked them all over the city: in cafes, in libraries, and even in the subway. I blogged about those letters and promised if asked for a hand-written letter, I would write one.
Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters.
Today I run a global organization fueled by those trips to the mailbox. It is a miracle. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people brought up in a paperless world where some best conversations happen on a screen. We have learned to diary our pain onto Facebook, and we speak swiftly in twitter.
Therefore, I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.” And a man, who had decided to take his life, slept safely with a stack of letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.
These stories convince me that letter-writing will never need to be about efficiency, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, the mailing.
1.Why did the author share her experience in college?
A.To show her care for her family. B.To prove her habit of writing letters.
C.To express her feelings attached to letters. D.To present her love for writing letters.
2.What caused the author to start the act?
A.She advocated the paperless lifestyle.
B.She intended to provide professional aid.
C.She tried to improve her communication skills.
D.She aimed to give emotional support with letters.
3.Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”?
A.It has magic power to melt ice. B.It inspires people to be brave.
C.It makes people’s mental diseases go away. D.It serves as a conversation starter.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Family Letters Are Priceless B.Love for Writing Never Lessens
C.World Needs More Love Letters D.Hand-written Letters Improve Efficiency
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.D 4.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为妈妈不使用现代通讯工具而喜欢手写信,后来通过手写信给陌生人提供情感支持,并发起了“世界需要更多爱的信件”的活动。

I was literally waiting by the mailbox to get a letter with a warmest comfort from her.(我是大学里唯一一个有理由去邮箱取信的孩子,因为我母亲从来不相信电子邮件、Facebook、短信或手机。我真的是在信箱旁等着收到一封她给我最温暖的安慰的信。)”和第二段第一句“So when I moved to New York and got depressed, I did the only thing I could think of.(所以当我搬到纽约感到沮丧时,我做了我唯一能想到的事。)”可知,作者分享给她在大学时期的经历是为了表达她对信件的深刻情结。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak — a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied in Kansas, a 22-year-old immigrant, all asking me to write them and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how I initiated the act The World Needs More Love Letters.(一夜之间,我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——萨克拉门托的单身母亲,堪萨斯被欺负的女孩,一个22岁的移民,都让我给他们写信,给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由。这就是我发起“世界需要更多爱的信件”行动的原因。)”可知,作者发起这项行动是为了通过写信给予情感上的支持。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段第二句“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war, and how she left love letters throughout the house saying, “Come back to me.”(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事,她的丈夫在战争中受到了创伤,她如何在家里到处留下爱的信件,说:“回到我身边来。”)”可知,作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它可以作为谈话的开场白。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者因为妈妈不使用现代通讯工具而喜欢手写信,后来通过手写信给陌生人提供情感支持,并发起了“世界需要更多爱的信件”的活动。因此,最好的标题是C项:World Needs More Love Letters (世界需要更多情书)。故选C。

If you’re in high school like me, you’ve probably begun to wonder what you’re going to be in the coming years of your life.
The best way to plan for the future is to have an outline (草案) that is likely to change. After talking to a lot of college graduates about where they plan on going after college, you may find that those who seemed to have it all figured out (弄清楚) in high school ended up to be the most confused (困惑的). Sometimes the things you think you love don’t turn out to be as fun as you thought. So keep an open mind, and be ready to change directions. Outline for yourself, and most importantly, try new things.
I’m only a junior in high school. My idea of what my future will look like will probably be wildly different in a few years. So I can’t tell you exactly what my plans for my future are. For now, the best I can do to provide a good foundation (基础) for my future is to pay attention to the shorter-term goals. I want to keep my grades high. I want to get a high SAT score.
I’ve built this foundation of my own grades, and even my own hobbies that I am proud of. I have always loved three things: writing, math, and science. Time has gone on, and those things have gotten more specific (明确的). I’m sure as I get older those things will be more specific, but those are the things I enjoy. With these things, I’ve set a goal for myself, and I hope to achieve it.
These are just plans, anyway. These are just ideas for how I think plans should be made for my own future. I wish I could tell you more, but I haven’t lived enough life just yet. Maybe in two years, when I’ve graduated I could tell you more, but for now all I have are goals.
1.What advice does the author offer in Paragraph 2?
A.Learn from the past. B.Make full use of your time.
C.Be prepared to adapt to change. D.Have every moment of your life planned.
2.How are the author’s plans for his future?
A.They will be achieved soon. B.They make him stressed.
C.They are still unclear. D.They let him down.
3.For now, the author thinks he should not only get high scores but also ______.
A.set an example to others B.develop his hobbies
C.live a healthy life D.set a long-term goal
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A.To introduce his school life. B.To ask for help for his future.
C.To talk about college graduates’ experience. D.To share his thoughts about making plans as a junior.
【答案】1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D

Max reads more than anyone he knows. He loves to read during all of his free time. His friends laugh at him because he would rather read than play video games, but his parents and his teachers are proud of him. They say reading is important, and it will help him learn about the world around him. They also tell him it is a good habit.

The group met at Anna’s house that night to organize the information and decide what they wanted to put on the poster board. They all asked Max what he thought was most important. Then they decided together to do what Max said. The next night they met at Josh’s house to build their volcano. They used cardboard and modeling clay. First they made a volcano shape with the cardboard, and then they covered the shape in brown and red clay.

【考题猜想阅读理解说明文03】
Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn. Students are encouraged to “think hard”, practice skills, solve problems, struggle with complex questions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in their own words through writing and discussion, rather than receive information inactively from the teacher.
Active learning is based on the Theory of Constructivism (建构主义理论), which stresses the fact that learners build their own understanding upon their existing knowledge. Researchers also believe that learning should be closely connected and within a meaningful context. Besides, learning experiences for young people should be appropriate to their level of development.
There is now a wealth of research that shows us that simply telling students what they need to know doesn’t help them to gain a deep understanding of a subject area. Instead, teachers should challenge their students’ thinking. Teachers should also keep students engaged and active in their own learning process so as to build students’ knowledge and understanding.
By giving students greater involvement and control over their learning, active learning increases students’ interest and develops their learning ability. This means that students are better able to continue learning once they have left school and college. It also prepares students better for both higher education and for the workplace because analytical (分析的) skills help them to be better at solving problems. Universities and employers value this.
Since an active learning method encourages all students to stay focused on their learning, teachers will often see students show greater interest in their studies. They also enjoy the level of academic discussion with their students which an active learning approach encourages.
1.What is the purpose of paragraph 2?
A.To advocate active learning. B.To further explain active learning.
C.To present application of active learning. D.To evidence the effects of active learning.
2.How should teachers promote active learning in students?
A.By offering ideas. B.By giving explanation.
C.By feeding information. D.By encouraging thinking.
3.What can be a benefit of active learning?
A.Higher education admission rate.
B.Better life-long learning ability.
C.Fewer complex questions while studying.
D.Greater teacher control over students’ learning.
4.Which aspect of active learning does the passage focus on?
A.Its features. B.Its rules. C.Its background. D.Its development.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是主动学习的意义和特点。
1.推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn.(主动学习是一种以学生学习为中心,充分参与课堂活动的学习方法。它不仅关注内容,也关注他们学习的方式。)”可知,第一段简要讲述了什么是主动学习以及你主动学习关注的内容,结合第二段中的“Active learning is based on the Theory of Constructivism (建构主义理论), which stresses the fact that learners build their own understanding upon their existing knowledge.(主动学习是建立在建构主义理论(建构主义理论)的基础上的,它强调学习者在已有知识的基础上建立自己的理解。)”可知,第二段讲述的是主动学习的理论基础,由此可知,第二段主要进一步解释主动学习。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Instead, teachers should challenge their students’ thinking. Teachers should also keep students engaged and active in their own learning process so as to build students’ knowledge and understanding.(相反,教师应该挑战学生的思维。教师还应该让学生积极参与自己的学习过程,以建立学生的知识和理解。)”可知,教师应该挑战学生思维,让学生积极参与学习过程,建立学生的知识和理解,由此可知,教师应该通过鼓励学生积极思考,让学生积极参与学习过程。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This means that students are better able to continue learning once they have left school and college. It also prepares students better for both higher education and for the workplace because analytical (分析的) skills help them to be better at solving problems.(这意味着学生离开学校和大学后能够更好地继续学习。它还帮助学生更好地为高等教育和工作做好准备,因为分析能力帮助他们更好地解决问题。)”可知,主动学习意味着学生离开学校后能继续学习,还能为他们为高等教育和工作做好准备,由此可知,主动学习的一个好处是使学生有着更好的终身学习能力。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Active learning is a method that has students learning at its centre and fully participating in class activities. It focuses on not only the content but also the way they learn.(主动学习是一种以学生学习为中心,充分参与课堂活动的学习方法。它不仅关注内容,也关注他们学习的方式。)”可知,主动学习以学生为中心,让学生充分参与课堂学习,既关注学习内容,又关注学习方式,结合下文中的介绍的主动学习的理论基础、如何促进主动学习、主动学习的好处等可知,本文主要围绕着主动学习的特点方面进行介绍。故选A项。

A study shows that in some states, teens find it much easier to get junk food. In Utah, for example, more than four out of five high schools sell candies and more than three out of four sell high-fat, salty snacks.
“But progress is being made,” says Howell Wechsler, director of CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health. “We see quite a few states where the number of schools selling junk food in vending machines (自动售货机) is very low.”
In a study of high schools in 25 states and nine cities, the percentage of high schools selling junk food during lunch periods dropped from 53 percent in 2016 to about 37 percent in 2018. Yet there was no change in the percentage of high schools selling junk food before and after the lunch bell rang.
Why do schools sell food that harms kids’ health? Money, Wechsler says. Sales from vending machines, and snack bars come directly to schools without strings (附带条件) by state or city school systems.
Faced with increasing financial pressures, schools are tempted (诱惑) to make deals with the junk food companies. However, the success some schools have achieved set others a good example. “In some places, schools are selling healthier choices and continuing to bring in revenue (收入),” Wechsler says. “The great progress made in these states shows that changes are possible to make.”
Wechsler also says schools that replace junk food with healthy food see a drop in revenue at first but then see revenue climb back up after a year or two.
1.When do schools make progress in selling less junk food?
A.Before lunch. B.During lunchtime. C.After lunch. D.Over dinner.
2.Why do schools sell food that harms kids’ health?
A.Students prefer junk food to healthy food. B.Students have few healthy food to choose from.
C.They make deals with the junk food companies. D.They want to make more money to run the school.
3.Schools which are selling healthy food will ______.
A.be supported by their students B.suffer a loss in revenue for the moment
C.be given some strings by the government D.not make enough money to run the school
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Schools sell junk food to teens. B.Teens prefer junk food in school.
C.Schools care more about teens health. D.Junk food is popular with teens at school.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A

The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia (痴呆) in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.
Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said: “These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people’s cardiovascular (心血管的) fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.”
For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak (最大值的) cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts.
A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems.
These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness.
“However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.” She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were from Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups.
1.What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. B.Experimental studies on diseases.
C.Positive effects of doing exercises. D.Advantages of sport y woman over man.
2.Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise?
A.To assess their cardiovascular capacity. B.To predict their maximum heart rate.
C.To change their habits of working out. D.To detect their potential health problems.
3.What do we know about Dr Horder’s study?
A.Data collection was a lengthy process. B.It aimed to find a cure for dementia.
C.Some participants drop out of it. D.The results were far from satisfactory.
4.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia
B.Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise
C.Biking Improves Women’s Cardiovascular Fitness
D.Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.A 4.D

【考题猜想阅读理解说明文06】
You’ve probably been told countless times that exercise is good for your health and fitness, and it’s tempting to assume that more is automatically better. But there comes a point of diminishing returns, and it’s possible to overdo it.
The first thing to ask yourself if you’re wondering whether you’ve exercised too much is: “Why are you exercising?” Once you get past five hours of vigorous exercise per week or so, you’re not exercising for health, you’re exercising for performance. And it’s possible to stress your body beyond what it can bounce back from, said Kristen Dieffenbach, an exercise scientist.
You work out, and your body responds by getting fitter, stronger and faster. These improvements don’t happen during the workout itself, but occur during the recovery period.
As long as your body is able to keep up with this repair work, your workouts will continue to aid your performance. But when the stress from your workouts builds up beyond your capacity to recover, you have entered the zone of too much, known in the sporting community as overtraining.
What makes things tricky is that the line between training hard and overtraining is fuzzy. The most reliable signs come from your subjective feelings of well-being. Other classic signs of overtraining include trouble sleeping, feeling run down and not being able to shake minor colds and other respiratory infections.
If you find that you’re having to force yourself to do workouts you used to enjoy, or are feeling guilty about not exercising enough, those are other signs that you’ve overdone it.
1.Why should we not exercise too much?
A.Because it will make us become too thin.
B.Because it makes us have an unhealthy weight.
C.Because it will bring a lot of stress to our body.
D.Because it gets our bones weaker.
2.The underlined word “fuzzy” in Paragraph 5 probably means “______”.
A.Unclear B.Understandable C.Important D.Necessary
3.Which of the following can be seen as health exercise?
A.Run a marathon twice a day.
B.Complete those exercise beyond your ability.
C.More than 5 hours of vigorous exercise in the gym every week.
D.Walk on the treadmill (跑步机) for half an hour every day.
4.What is the text mainly talk about?
A.Countless exercise is good for your health.
B.Doing exercise with reasonable intensity (强度).
C.The way to lose weight and keep healthy.
D.The relationship between exercise and health.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了过度锻炼的危害及识别过量锻炼的迹象。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Once you get past five hours of vigorous exercise per week or so, you’re not exercising for health, you’re exercising for performance. And it’s possible to stress your body beyond what it can bounce back from, said Kristen Dieffenbach, an exercise scientist.(一旦你每周进行超过五个小时的剧烈运动,你就不是为了健康而锻炼,而是为了表现而锻炼。运动科学家克里斯汀·迪芬巴赫说,你的身体可能会承受超出其反弹范围的压力)”可知,过度锻炼会对身体带来压力和负担。故选C。
2.词义猜测题。根据第五段的“The most reliable signs come from your subjective feelings of well-being. Other classic signs of overtraining include trouble sleeping, feeling run down and not being able to shake minor colds and other respiratory infections.(目前最为可靠的判断依据,还得要看自身对于健康状态的主观感受。另外还有一些事关训练过度的典型状况,包括:失眠、精神不振,并且难以抵御和摆脱轻微感冒以及其他各类呼吸道感染的疾病)”可知,努力训练和过度训练之间的区分不是特别清楚,因人而异。所以划线单词的意思为“不清楚的”。故选A
3.推理判断题。根据第二段的“Once you get past five hours of vigorous exercise per week or so, you’re not exercising for health, you’re exercising for performance. (一旦你每周剧烈运动的时间已超过 5 小时左右,那么你已经不是为身体健康在锻炼了,而是冲着运动表现去了)”可知,以及第四段“But when the stress from your workouts builds up beyond your capacity to recover, you have entered the zone of too much, known in the sporting community as overtraining.(但是当锻炼造成的负担日益积聚,超出身体恢复能力之外时,你便已然踏入了运动过量的范畴)”可知,每周剧烈运动超过5小时属于不健康的锻炼, 超出能力之外的锻炼也属于过度锻炼。由此可推知,“每天在跑步机上步行半小时。”属于健康运动。故选D。
4.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“You’ve probably been told countless times that exercise is good for your health and fitness, and it’s tempting to assume that more is automatically better. But there comes a point of diminishing returns, and it’s possible to overdo it.(你可能已经无数次被告知,运动对你的健康和健身有好处,人们很容易认为运动越多越好。但有一个收益递减的点,而且可能会过度)”可知,文章主要讨论了合理强度的锻炼,特别是避免过度锻炼。故选B。

Around 20 students from the University of Malta took part in a Chinese tea-tasting event on the campus on Wednesday to add a special flavor to their Chinese-language course.
For most students, it was their first time to receive an expert introduction to the rich Chinese tea culture and traditional ways of making tea, with special attention to choosing the right water temperature for Chinese tea.
The event was hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta. The master of the event was Sun Yi, a teacher at the institute. She started the event with a brief introduction to Chinese tea culture, followed by a practical demonstration of handling the different kinds of tea leaves. She described the central role of tea in the daily life of Chinese people and taught students how to pronounce “drink”, “tea” and “good” in Mandarin (普通话).
“I love Chinese tea very much,” said Lexuri Vazquez, a third-year student majoring in international relations. She said she hadn’t really appreciated the difference between black and green tea before. Thanks to the tea tasting, however, this will change, she added. She would love to go to China one day to learn about more aspects of Chinese culture in the future.
Jackie Theuma, office administrator of the Confucius Institute at the university, said she had tasted different kinds of Chinese tea, as the institute’s director, Ji Nengwen who is a Chinese, always shared his tea with her and other colleagues. Theuma has been working at the institute for 11 years, and Chinese culture and language have become a part of her life.
Sun found the success of the event inspirational. The Confucius Institute holds cultural events as part of its Chinese-language teaching program to give students an opportunity to better understand what they learn in the classroom. “I will spare no efforts to introduce more aspects of Chinese culture through more events to students, and further raise their interest in learning Chinese and understanding Chinese culture,” Sun said.

A local dog in Moundsville, West Virginia, has captured the admiration of the community by finding over 150 lost disc golf discs (高尔夫球盘) at a popular park.
Dais g is a four - year - old Labrador Retriever who loves going on walks with her owner, Kelly Mason, at Grand Vue Park: Every day, they walk about five miles through the park. Sometimes, Daisy goes on her own adventure and returns with a souvenir.
“Daisy has a nose to finding discs”. Mason told VTRF. “We will be walking through the park and her most will go up. She can smell them, and she just goes off. She could go off 30 yards through the high weeds. And here she comes with a disc.”
Since she found her first disc about three years ago, Daisy has got back 155 of them with no plans of stopping anytime soon.
The park recently teamed up with Mason to create a program called Daisy’s Discs.
“Normally when park staff find them or when our park guests find them, all of them are put into the barn (仓库) area,” says Ben Bolock, the assistant general manager at Grand Vue Park. “Some discs that have names on them, so we call them. And people are able to come and pick them up. They can also make a donation to Daisy’s Discs and that money will fund the Marshall County Animal Rescue League. If discs are found and there’s no name on them and we’ve had them for a long period of time and nobody has claimed them, the park will sell them for a very low amount and that money will go back into the disc golf course.”

【考题猜想阅读理解新闻报道02】
Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet. They carried out their own research projects, as NASA researchers watched to see whether they would develop cabin fever (幽闭烦躁症), a feeling of upset and impatience when people have been inside for too long. The mission is in the hope of better understanding life on Mars.
For the mission, surfing, fresh air and sunshine were all off the menu. During the eight months, the scientists had to live together in just 1, 300 square feet of living space, built on the side of the Mauna Loa (a volcano). Whenever they wanted to take a short walk outside their “house”, they had to put on a 40-pound spacesuit. As if to make things even tougher, showers were limited to eight minutes each week.
Perhaps it should not be overly surprising that with the six having now completed their mission, they said re-entering the outside world was “a big joy”.
One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs. The mission commander, Ms Lenio, said she learnt to play an instrument and improved her French. Another scientist, Sophie Milam, excitedly posteda model boat made out of sticks by herself.
But it wasn’t all fun. About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, “If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.”
Luckily, it did seem that the scientists had succeeded in avoiding cabin fever—Ms Lenio referred to her partners as “lovely people”.
1.Why does the author mention a trip to Hawaii in Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the special mission.
B.To describe the easy life of scientists.
C.To tell us Hawaii is popular among visitors.
D.To show Hawaii is a perfect place to do research.
2.What can we learn from the scientists’ blogs?
A.Life on “Mars” was always colorful.
B.They did what they liked to kill time.
C.They were hopeless during the mission.
D.They learned something from each other.
3.What do Ms Lenio’s words in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.They wouldn’t meet the problem on Mars.
B.The result would have been more serious on Mars.
C.Ms Lenio felt lucky to survive the mission.
D.The mission was actually meaningless.
4.What may be the best title of the text?
A.Scientists prove living on Mars is possible
B.Scientists learn a lot during their trip to Mars
C.Six scientists’ trip to Hawaii simulates a mission to Mars
D.Six scientists successfully complete their mission on Mars

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是六名科学家在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山边一个与世隔绝、靠太阳能电池供电的“船舱”里生活了八个月,完成了夏威夷太空探索仿真模拟实验。
1.推理判断题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”可知,作者以六名科学家去夏威夷度过为期八个月的“假期”为话题,引出了此次在夏威夷冒纳罗亚火山边进行的模拟火星生活的实验。故选A项。
2.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One possible reason why the six survived could be found in their blogs.(这六人幸存下来的一个可能原因可以从他们的博客中找到。)”以及下文举例的两位科学家所做的事情可知,通过科学家的博客中可以了解到科学家们通过做自己爱好的事来打发时间,度过了为期八个月的“与世隔绝”的生活。故选B项。
3.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“About halfway through the mission, bad weather left them unable to use their solar-powered batteries. They had to gather closely together for warmth and limit energy use to just the important systems. Ms Lenio said, ‘If we had really been on Mars, that would have been life or death.’(大约在任务进行到一半时,恶劣的天气使他们无法使用太阳能电池。它们必须紧密地聚集在一起取暖,并将能源的使用限制在重要的系统上。莱尼奥女士说:“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”)”可知,科学家们在此次实验中遭遇了恶劣天气导致的太阳能电池电量不足且生活面临困难的事,由此可知,Ms Lenio所说的“如果我们真的在火星上,那将是生死攸关的时刻。”表明了在真实的火星环境中结果可能会更严重。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Six scientists received some good news: they were being treated to an eight-month, all free trip to Hawaii. There was just one little difficulty: they would be spending all eight months living under Mars-like conditions to simulate (模拟) a mission to the planet.(六名科学家得到了一些好消息:他们将获得为期八个月的免费夏威夷之旅。只有一个小困难:他们将在类似火星的条件下生活8个月,以模拟前往火星的任务。)”以及下文中介绍的这六位科学家在模拟火星任务重的情况介绍可知,本文主要介绍的是六位科学家在夏威夷进行的特殊任务——模拟火星生活,由此可知,C项“六名科学家的夏威夷之旅模拟了一次火星任务”与本文内容吻合,概括了本文的主题,所以是最合适的文章标题。故选C项。

Progress means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals, we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think positively, it can be useful and helpful. We need to know that problems are part of our life.
After we solve problems one after another, we can make more progress and become stronger. Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Just as the old saying goes, “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.” Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time. The actual speed isn’t important.
The road to progress is not always smooth. Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels.
1.What does progress make us do?
A.Set lifelong goals. B.Go forward easily.
C.Think about new things. D.Live healthily and happily.
2.What does Paragraph 3 tell us?
A.We should support different people. B.Some people can push us to failure.
C.Confidence helps us make progress. D.Different schools expect the same progress.

A.It often goes smoothly. B.It always gives us a clear mind.

Parents have widely different views on pocket money. Five new fathers were asked this question and this is how they answered.
Ashish Khanna: Although many argue that pocket money helps develop children's sense of value, I don’t agree. I wouldn’t give my child any pocket money. First of all, I never got pocket money when I was a child and I seem to have a good sense of value. If my child ever wants something and I feel it is necessary, I will buy it for him.
Sharad Sanghi: I wouldn’t give my child pocket money because I don't want her to form the perception (看法) of “her” money and “my” money. Besides, if I refuse to buy her something that I think is bad for her, she may buy it with her pocket money secretly. I feel it also encourages children to care more about money than anything else. I don’t want my child to start judging other children by the amount of money they have.
Rakesh Shah: I would give my child pocket money. I feel that children should learn to spend money intelligently and not go overboard on spending. They will learn what their limitations (局限) are and feel the difficulty when they have to pay for something that they can’t afford.
Rajiv Patel: I would give my child pocket money because it is important for her to learn how to manage money. I will give her a fixed amount every month and if she spends all the money before the month is over, then she will learn a lesson and not spend money so freely.
Vikram Desai: I would certainly give my child pocket money. But I would not give it to him on a weekly or monthly basis. He would have to earn it. If he helps me finish some of my jobs or helps his mother with housework, I will reward him. This helps him realize that “money does not grow on trees” and it needs hard work to earn money.
1.What do you know about Ashish Khanna?
A.Pocket money helps children develop better.
B.He can have much control of his child by money.
C.He was given too much pocket money when young.
D.He will buy something he thinks his child really needs.

A.They allow their children to spend money freely.
B.They want their children to learn to manage money.

3.According to Vikram Desai, what do children learn from earning pocket money?
A.Money is not easy to get.
B.Money can be got from trees.
C.One can get lots of money if he/she works hard.
D.Money is not so important to people nowadays.
