It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Inslead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying?” 1. What problem did the author meet when he was in class? A. He didn’t like the teacher. B. He was not fond of literature. C. The classroom was too noisy. D. He couldn’t focus his attention in class. 2. What can we learn about Louis Braile from the passage? A. He managed to cure his blundness. B. He got a good education at schold. C. He made an invention which helped the blind. D. He couldn’t see and read for the whole life. 3. What’s Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author in the classroom? A. She encouraged him. B. She looked down on him. C. She sympathized (同情) him. D. She was angry with him. 4. What does the author intend to tell us from the passage? A. Practice makes perfect B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. It’s never too old to learn. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文为记叙文。作者患有一种注意力障碍的病症，不能集中精力于所做的事情，当他想放弃时，受Louise Braile故事和Smith老师的激励，终于克服困难很好地完成论文并得到老师的认可。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the claos was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t.(13岁时，我被诊断出患有某种注意力障碍。这让我在学校很困难。当班上的其他人都在专注于任务时，我却不能)”可知，作者患有一种注意力障碍的病症，他在课堂上无法集中注意力。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Inslead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind.( 相反，他发明了一个凸点阅读系统，为盲人打开了一个全新的知识世界)”可知，Louise Braile发明了盲文来帮助盲人。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an ‘A’ on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, ‘See what you can do when you keep trying?’ (当我把论文交给Smith老师的时候，我并没有想到会有什么收获。所以，当我第二天收到她给我的论文时，我感到非常惊讶，因为论文上有一个‘A’。下面有这样一句话：‘看看当你不断尝试的时候你能做什么？’)”可知，Smith老师给了作者一个“A”，并且附上留言，可见Smith老师对他是鼓励的，故选A。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，本文讲述了作者受Louise Braile故事的激励战胜自己的疾病，完成论文并得到老师的认可的故事，根据文章第五段“If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up?(如果Louis能找到解决问题的方法，我为什么要放弃？)”和第六段“At the bottom of the paper were these words, ‘See what you can do when you keep trying?’(在论文的下面有这样一句话：‘看看当你不断尝试的时候你能做什么？’)”可知，本文告诉我们，一直持续努力，你会成功的。所以B项Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)符合本文主旨。故选B项。 B Birds Can “Read” Human Gaze We all know that people sometimes change their behavior when someone is looking their way. Now a new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology shows that jackdaws (寒鸦) — birds related to crows with eyes that appear similar to human eyes — can do the same. “Jackdaws seem to recognize the eye’s role in visual perception (视觉), or at the very least they are extremely sensitive to the way that human eyes are directed,” said Auguste von Bayern, formerly of the University of Cambridge and now at the University of Oxford. When presented with a preferred food, hand-raised jackdaws took longer to get the reward when a person was directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away, according to the research team led by Nathan Emery of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. The birds hesitated only when the person was not known to them and thus potentially threatening. In addition, the birds were able to understand human communicative gestures, such as stare change and pointing, to help them find hidden food, they found. The birds were unsuccessful in using unmoving signals, including eye stare or head direction. Unlike most birds, jackdaws’ eyes have a dark pupil (瞳孔) surrounded by a silvery white iris (虹膜). The researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because, as in humans, eyes are an important means of communication for them. The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than wild jackdaws at attending to human stare and responding to the gestures of the people who have raised them. The findings are particularly notable given that most other species examined so far, including our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and “man’s best friend,” the dog, are not particularly sensitive to eye direction and eye stare, von Bayern said. Rather, she continued, chimps and dogs seem to rely on other signals such as head or body direction in determining the looking direction of others. The results suggest that birds may deserve more respect for their mental abilities. “We may have understated the psychological world of birds,” von Bayern said. “Jackdaws, among many other birds, form pair ties for life and need to have much in common and work together with their partner, which requires an efficient way of communicating and sensitivity to their partner’s viewpoint.” 5. A hand-raised jackdaw hesitates to take a preferred food when the feeder ______. A. is unfamiliar to the bird B. is looking away from the food C. holds the food in his hand D. is looking at the food 6. According to the researchers, jackdaws can notice human eye direction probably because ______. A. their eyes also have a dark pupil B. they are far more intelligent than other birds C. they are mostly hand-raised by humans D. like humans, they also use eyes to communicate 7. Why does the author refer to chimpanzees and dogs? A. To suggest that they are much better at understanding stare change. B. To make clear that they rely on other means in determining people’s intention. C. To show that they communicate more frequently with humans than jackdaws. D. To reflect how unique jackdaws are in being able to notice stare direction. 8 What does the research finding suggest? A. We know embarrassingly less about birds than we assume. B. Not all jackdaws are good at attending to human stare. C. We may have understated jackdaws’ mental abilities. D. The closer we communicate with animals, the better we understand them. 【答案】5. A 6. D 7. D 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了实验发现鸟类可以“读懂”人类的凝视，科学家们推测也许鸟类也是用眼睛交流的，人类一直以来都忽视了鸟类的心理世界。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When presented with a preferred food, hand-raised jackdaws took longer to get the reward when a person was directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away, according to the research team led by Nathan Emery of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. The birds hesitated only when the person was not known to them and thus potentially threatening. (根据剑桥大学和伦敦玛丽皇后大学的内森·埃默里领导的研究小组的研究，当人们给了它们喜欢的食物时，当人们把目光转向食物时，人工饲养的jackdaw比把目光移开时获得奖励的时间要长。只有当这些鸟不认识这个人，因此有潜在的威胁时，它们才会犹豫。)”可知当喂食人是不熟悉的人时，鸟类在面对喜欢的食物是犹豫之后才吃，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Unlike most birds, jackdaws’ eyes have a dark pupil (瞳孔) surrounded by a silvery white iris (虹膜). The researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because, as in humans, eyes are an important means of communication for them. (与大多数鸟类不同，寒鸦的眼睛有一个黑色的瞳孔，周围是银白色的虹膜。研究人员说，他们认为寒鸦可能对人类的眼睛很敏感，因为和人类一样，眼睛是它们重要的交流手段。)”可知寒鸦可以看到人眼定位可能是因为像人类一样他们也用眼睛交流，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The findings are particularly notable given that most other species examined so far, including our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and “man’s best friend,” the dog, are not particularly sensitive to eye direction and eye stare, von Bayern said. Rather, she continued, chimps and dogs seem to rely on other signals such as head or body direction in determining the looking direction of others. The results suggest that birds may deserve more respect for their mental abilities. (冯·巴伐利亚说，考虑到迄今为止研究的大多数其他物种，包括我们的近亲黑猩猩和“人类最好的朋友”狗，对眼睛的方向和凝视并不特别敏感，这一发现尤其值得注意。相反，她继续说，黑猩猩和狗似乎依靠其他信号，如头部或身体的方向，来确定其他动物的视线方向。研究结果表明，鸟类的智力应该得到更多的尊重。)”可知狗和黑猩猩对眼睛的方向和凝视并不特别敏感，而鸟类不一样，故推知作者提到黑猩猩和狗是为了反映了独特的寒鸦是能够注意注视方向，故选D。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““We may have understated the psychological world of birds,” von Bayern said. “Jackdaws, among many other birds, form pair ties for life and need to have much in common and work together with their partner, which requires an efficient way of communicating and sensitivity to their partner’s viewpoint.” (“我们可能低估了鸟类的心理世界，”冯·拜仁说。“在许多其他鸟类中，寒鸦是终生的伴侣关系，需要有很多共同点，并与伴侣一起工作，这需要一种有效的沟通方式，并对伴侣的观点敏感。”)”可知研究结果表明了我们可能低估了鸟类的心理世界，故选C。 C Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain, by immersing(沉浸)people in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reports, a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people’s sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain. According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working. Dr Sam Hughes, the first author on the paper, said "Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain. To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shock. In the first trial, participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from 'no pain' to 'worst pain possible' )while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset, or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor. Under the same conditions, they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful. The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment. They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems. 9. How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers? A. By making their pain-fighting systems function. B. By drawing their attention to fighting pain. C. By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity. D. By slowing down their brains' reaction to pain. 10. Which step comes first in their theory testing? A. Making a capsaicin cream. B. Putting on virtual reality headsets. C. Applying capsaicin cream to the skin. D. Looking at pictures on a computer screen. 11. What conclusion can be drawn from the trial? A. Still images helped to ease people's pain. B. VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction. C. Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers. D. Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus. 12. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The team feels confident about future VR treatment. B. The researchers will work on the side effect of VR. C. VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields. D. The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patients. 【答案】9. A 10. C 11. B 12. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。伦敦帝国理工学院的科学家发现，使用虚拟现实(VR)耳机可以让人沉浸在冰冷的北极景色中，从而降低对疼痛的敏感度。虽然目前的研究不够完善，但研究团队认为VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working.(研究人员表示，这一发现进一步证明了VR技术在帮助长期疼痛患者方面的潜力。除了这种分散注意力的效果，他们认为VR实际上可能会导致人体自身内置的止痛系统开始工作。)”可知VR可能会导致人体自身内置的止痛系统开始工作，由此可推知VR是通过让止痛系统发挥作用来帮助长期疼痛患者。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. (为了验证他们的理论，研究人员对15名健康志愿者使用了一种含有辣椒素的乳霜——辣椒素是一种会让你的嘴巴变得不舒服的化学物质。)”可知在理论验证过程中的第一步是在皮肤上涂抹辣椒素霜。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment.(研究小组发现，沉浸VR后持续的疼痛减少了，对疼痛刺激的敏感性也降低了。然而，同样的效果在观看静止的极地环境图片的人身上没有看到。)”可知VR沉浸感比观看普通的静止环境图片减轻疼痛的效果更为明显，由此可推知VR沉浸感是减轻疼痛的关键因素。故选B项。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems.(他们解释说，尽管开始时的发现令人鼓舞，但该研究受到健康参与者的限制，且没有长期痛苦。 但是，研究人员认为，VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景。)”可知研究人员认为VR可以为治疗长期疼痛且内置止痛系统不佳的患者带来光明的前景，由此可知本段内容表明该团队对未来VR治疗充满信心。故选A项。 D It was a crowded flight and a beautiful lady aged around 40 years boarded the flight as the passenger. She searched for her seat and found her seat was next to a black man. She showed that she wasn’t in a hurry to take her seat as she found it too hard and awkward to sit next to a black man. Feeling disgusted, the beautiful lady called the air hostess and asked her to change her seat. The airhostess was shocked to hear these hard words from the one who looked so dignified (庄重的) and composed. The airhostess went in search an empty seat for the lady. The airhostess told the lady, “I’m afraid Madam, there is no vacant seat in the economy class and the flight is almost full! However, we do follow the policy to fulfil the desires of our passengers to the maximum extent possible. So, give me a minute. I will check with my captain and get back to you.” The lady waited for a couple of minutes and the airhostess came. The latter replied, “Madam, sorry for this inconvenience. We don’t want to make your journey unpleasant by making you sit next to someone with whom you aren’t comfortable. There is one seat available in the first class. Although we don’t allow any passenger to move from economy class to first class, to make you a happy customer, we are doing this for the first time in our company’s history. Our captain agreed to shift from economy class to first class!” Just before the lady said any word as a reply, the air hostess humbly requested the black man and told him, “Dear sir, would you please shift your seat to first class? Please retrieve all your personal items from your seat and our captain would like to move you to first class as we don’t really want to have an uncomfortable journey sitting next to an unpleasant person, with an ugly mind!” The lady was quiet and frozen! A few of the fellow passengers were happy and gave huge applause for the flight crew! 13. Why didn’t the woman hurry to take his seat? A. Because the seat itself made her feel sick. B. Because she wanted to have a seat in the first class. C. Because there’s a long time before the plane took off. D. Because she disliked to sit with a black man beside her at all. 14. What does the underlined word “composed” in the third paragraph mean? A. Upset. B. Calm. C. Angry. D. Happy. 15. What can we infer according to the passage? A. The lady’s behavior annoyed the passengers. B. The captain knew the black passengers well. C. The problem was solved as the lady expected. D. The lady was invited to move to the first class. 【答案】13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位女士在飞机上因为不愿意和座位旁边的黑人坐在一起，要求空姐给她换座位，最后空姐把这位黑人的座位从经济舱换到了头等舱。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She showed that she wasn’t in a hurry to take her seat as she found it too hard and awkward to sit next to a black man. (她表现出不急着坐下来，因为她觉得坐在黑人旁边太困难、太让人尴尬了)”可知，这位女士不急于坐座位上，是因为她根本不喜欢和一个黑人坐在一起。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“She showed that she wasn’t in a hurry to take her seat as she found it too hard and awkward to sit next to a black man. Feeling disgusted, the beautiful lady called the air hostess and asked her to change her seat. (她表现出她并不急于就座，因为她觉得坐在黑人旁边太困难、太让人尴尬了。这位美丽的女士感到厌恶，于是叫来空姐，让她换个座位)”以及第三段“The airhostess was shocked to hear these hard words from the one who looked so dignified (庄重的) and composed. (空姐听到那位看上去那么端庄composed的人说的这些刻薄的话感到震惊) ”可知，这位女士厌恶黑人，叫来空姐给她换座位，空姐听到这些刻薄的话，再看看说话的女士，这位女士起来端庄又composed，不应该是说出这样话的人，composed的意思和“端庄”的并列，结合选项，应该是“沉着的；冷静的”，意思是这样一位端庄又沉稳的人说出这样刻薄的话，让人很震惊，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Just before the lady said any word as a reply, the air hostess humbly requested the black man and told him, “Dear sir, would you please shift your seat to first class? Please retrieve all your personal items from your seat and our captain would like to move you to first class as we don’t really want to have an uncomfortable journey sitting next to an unpleasant person, with an ugly mind!” (就在那位女士没有回答之前，空中小姐谦恭地请求那位黑人男子并告诉他:“亲爱的先生，您能把您的座位移到头等舱吗？请把你的个人物品从座位上拿起来，我们的机长想把你调到头等舱，因为我们真的不想你和一个讨厌的、思想丑陋的人坐在一起，度过一个不舒服的旅程 ”)”最后一段中“A few of the fellow passengers were happy and gave huge applause for the flight crew! (一些乘客很高兴，给机组人员热烈的掌声)”可知，空姐让这位黑人而不是让这位讨厌黑人的女士坐到头等舱，这让乘客很高兴，为机组人员鼓掌，所以说明乘客是支持机组人员的做法，不喜欢这位女士的行为，也就是这位女士的行为让乘客很生气，故选A。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) How to Be Strong-minded Most successful people have one characteristic in common: they are strong-minded.

Someone with a strong mind is mentally tough but they aren’t too stubborn to grow and adapt to new situations, either. You can achieve it with some work and patience, just like you would train your body in a gym.(大多数成功人士都有一个共同的特点：他们意志坚强。意志坚强的人在精神上很坚强，但他们也不会因为太固执而无法成长和适应新环境。你可以通过一些努力和耐心来实现它，就像你在健身房锻炼身体一样)”可知，上文提到了意志坚强的特点，结合后文主要论述了建立坚强品质的建议。故C选项“如果你想要一个更强大的头脑，试试下面的建议”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Quiet your mind. Practice letting go of unnecessary worries and distractions, so you can focus on more important things. If you want to regain focus in the moment, you can try writing down what keeps popping up in your head. When you get these thoughts out of your head, you’ll be able to focus better.(让你的大脑安静下来。练习放下不必要的担忧和干扰，这样你就可以把注意力集中在更重要的事情上。如果你想重新集中注意力，你可以试着写下你脑海中不断出现的东西。当你把这些想法从脑子里赶出去时，你就能更好地集中注意力)”可知，上文提到了写下你脑海中不断出现的东西，以及为了集中注意力把这些想法从脑子里赶出去，本句为本段最后一句，故说明应该如何处理这些想法，E选项中thoughts or ideas对应上文thoughts。故E选项“稍后花些时间来关注这些想法或创意”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Also, ask people who you’re close to about yourself.(另外，问问你亲近的人关于你自己的事情)”以及后文“This can be a powerful tool in self-discovery.(这是自我发现的有力工具)”可知，本句主要是在说明让亲近的人问关于你的什么样的问题，从而让你进行自我发现，F选项中them指代上文people who you’re close to。故F选项“问他们你最快乐的时候有什么特点”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Think about what drives you to achieve in your day-to-day life. If you often find yourself just trying to get through the day, ask yourself what you would do with your time if you didn’t have to worry about basic concerns like money.(想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力。如果你经常发现自己只是在努力度过一天，问问自己，如果你不必担心像钱这样的基本问题，你会如何利用你的时间)”可知，后文提到了想想你在日常生活中取得成就的动力，即寻找自己的动力所在，A选项中motivates对应后文drives。故A选项“找出你的动力”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Create actionable short-term goals. Now that you have a general understanding of where you want to go, break those long-term goals down.(制定可行的短期目标。既然你对自己的目标有了大致的了解，那么就把这些长期目标分解一下)”可知，上文提到了分解长期目标，故本句承接上文说明这么做的意义：让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨。故G选项“这可以让你避免不知所措，帮助你保持正轨”符合语境，故选G。 第三节完形填空(共15小题.每小题1分，满分15分) Once upon a time, there was a small village hidden deep in the mountains.

They wanted a home of their own, with a sunny room for Mother and Father and Baby. They wanted a small room close by for the little sister, and a big, airy room for Brother Tom. They wanted a cozy (温暖舒适的) room for the cooking and eating. What’s more, they wanted a room that Grandmother might call her own when she came to see them. One day, the father came in with a smiling face and called the family to him. “Now, what do we all want more than anything else in the world?” he said. “A home!” said the family members together. “Well,” said the father, “I think we shall have our home, if each one of us will help. I must go away to the forest. All winter long I must cut trees down. Then I shall be paid in lumber (木材), which will help in the building of the home. While I am away, Mother will have to fill my place, and her own, too.” Brother Tom asked eagerly, “What can I do?” “You will work for the carpenter (木匠), and all the while be learning to saw (锯) and hammer. You will be ready in the spring to help build the home,” answered the father. “Now, who will take care of the baby?” said the father. “I will, I will,” cried Polly, running to kiss the baby. So it was all arranged that they would have their home. When the wood cutters went to the forest, the father was ready to go with them. White snow was on the ground, and the wind was blowing in the forest. But the father kept his heart cheery. Nobody’s ax (斧头) was sharper than his or cut so many trees. No one was gladder than he when spring came and the logs were pulled to the sawmills, where they were sawed into lumber to build houses. Then the father hurried home. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When he came there, he found that the mother had baked, and washed, and sewed, and taken care of the children, as only such a precious mother could have done. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So the home was built, with a sunny room for Father and Mother and Baby. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When he came there, he found that the mother had baked, and washed, and sewed, and taken care of the children, as only such a precious mother could have done.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I couldn’t. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person Louis Braile. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Inslead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of. knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up? I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying?” 1. What problem did the author meet when he was in class? A. He didn’t like the teacher. B. He was not fond of literature. C. The classroom was too noisy. D. He couldn’t focus his attention in class. 2. What can we learn about Louis Braile from the passage? A. He managed to cure his blundness. B. He got a good education at schold. C He made an invention which helped the blind. D. He couldn’t see and read for the whole life. 3. What’s Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author in the classroom? A. She encouraged him. B. She looked down on him. C. She sympathized (同情) him. D. She was angry with him. 4. What does the author intend to tell us from the passage? A. Practice makes perfect B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Don’t judge a book by its cover. D. It’s never too old to learn. B Birds Can “Read” Human Gaze We all know that people sometimes change their behavior when someone is looking their way. Now, a new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology shows that jackdaws (寒鸦) — birds related to crows with eyes that appear similar to human eyes — can do the same. “Jackdaws seem to recognize the eye’s role in visual perception (视觉), or at the very least they are extremely sensitive to the way that human eyes are directed,” said Auguste von Bayern, formerly of the University of Cambridge and now at the University of Oxford. When presented with a preferred food, hand-raised jackdaws took longer to get the reward when a person was directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away, according to the research team led by Nathan Emery of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. The birds hesitated only when the person was not known to them and thus potentially threatening. In addition, the birds were able to understand human communicative gestures, such as stare change and pointing, to help them find hidden food, they found. The birds were unsuccessful in using unmoving signals, including eye stare or head direction. Unlike most birds, jackdaws’ eyes have a dark pupil (瞳孔) surrounded by a silvery white iris (虹膜). The researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because, as in humans, eyes are an important means of communication for them. The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than wild jackdaws at attending to human stare and responding to the gestures of the people who have raised them. The findings are particularly notable given that most other species examined so far, including our closest relatives, the chimpanzee and “man’s best friend,” the dog, are not particularly sensitive to eye direction and eye stare, von Bayern said. Rather, she continued, chimps and dogs seem to rely on other signals such as head or body direction in determining the looking direction of others. The results suggest that birds may deserve more respect for their mental abilities. “We may have understated the psychological world of birds,” von Bayern said. “Jackdaws, among many other birds, form pair ties for life and need to have much in common and work together with their partner, which requires an efficient way of communicating and sensitivity to their partner’s viewpoint.” 5. A hand-raised jackdaw hesitates to take a preferred food when the feeder ______. A. is unfamiliar to the bird B. is looking away from the food C holds the food in his hand D. is looking at the food 6. According to the researchers, jackdaws can notice human eye direction probably because ______. A. their eyes also have a dark pupil B. they are far more intelligent than other birds C. they are mostly hand-raised by humans D. like humans, they also use eyes to communicate 7. Why does the author refer to chimpanzees and dogs? A. To suggest that they are much better at understanding stare change. B. To make clear that they rely on other means in determining people’s intention. C. To show that they communicate more frequently with humans than jackdaws. D. To reflect how unique jackdaws are in being able to notice stare direction. 8. What does the research finding suggest? A. We know embarrassingly less about birds than we assume. B. Not all jackdaws are good at attending to human stare. C. We may have understated jackdaws’ mental abilities. D. The closer we communicate with animals the better we understand them. C Scientists from Imperial College London have found that using virtual reality(VR)headsets can reduce sensitivity to pain, by immersing(沉浸)people in icy Arctic scenery. In a study published in Pain Reports, a team from Imperial used VR video to reduce people’s sensitivity to ongoing pain and sharp shooting pain. According to the researchers, the findings add to the growing evidence for the potential of VR technology to help patients with long-term pain. Beyond the distracting effect, they think VR may actually cause the body’s own inbuilt pain-fighting systems to start working. Dr Sam Hughes, the first author on the paper, said "Our work suggests that VR may be getting involved in processes in the key parts of our inbuilt pain-fighting systems and are helpful in regulating the spread of increased sensitivity to pain. To test their theory, researchers applied a cream containing capsaicin(辣椒素)-the chemical that makes your mouth bum-to 15 healthy volunteers. The capsaicin makes the skin more sensitive to painful stimuli(刺激)like a very small electric shock. In the first trial, participants were then asked to rate the pain caused by the capsaicin cream on a scale of 0-100 (from 'no pain' to 'worst pain possible' )while either watching a VR scene of Arctic exploration through a headset, or looking at a still image of an Arctic scene on a monitor. Under the same conditions, they were also asked to say when a stimulus applied directly to the skin area is considered as painful. The team found that ongoing pain was reduced following VR immersion, and that sensitivity to painful stimuli was also reduced. However, the same effect was not seen in people who looked at still images of the polar environment. They explain that while the findings made at the beginning are encouraging, the study is limited by the small number of healthy participants, without long-term pain. However, the researchers believe VR could hold a bright future to treat patients with long-term pain who have poor inbuilt pain fighting systems. 9. How can VR possibly help long-term pain sufferers? A. By making their pain-fighting systems function. B. By drawing their attention to fighting pain. C. By controlling the spread of pain sensitivity. D. By slowing down their brains' reaction to pain. 10. Which step comes first in their theory testing? A. Making a capsaicin cream. B. Putting on virtual reality headsets. C. Applying capsaicin cream to the skin. D. Looking at pictures on a computer screen. 11. What conclusion can be drawn from the trial? A. Still images helped to ease people's pain. B. VR immersion was the key factor in pain reduction. C. Healthy people were less sensitive to VR than pain sufferers. D. Capsaicin cream brought people more pain than electronic stimulus. 12. What does the last paragraph imply? A. The team feels confident about future VR treatment. B. The researchers will work on the side effect of VR. C. VR treatment can be applied in other medical fields. D. The trial only has an effect on short-term pain patients. D It was a crowded flight and a beautiful lady aged around 40 years boarded the flight as the passenger. She searched for her seat and found her seat was next to a black man. She showed that she wasn’t in a hurry to take her seat as she found it too hard and awkward to sit next to a black man. Feeling disgusted, the beautiful lady called the air hostess and asked her to change her seat. The airhostess was shocked to hear these hard words from the one who looked so dignified (庄重的) and composed. The airhostess went in search an empty seat for the lady. The airhostess told the lady, “I’m afraid Madam, there is no vacant seat in the economy class and the flight is almost full! However, we do follow the policy to fulfil the desires of our passengers to the maximum extent possible. So, give me a minute. I will check with my captain and get back to you.” The lady waited for a couple of minutes and the airhostess came. The latter replied, “Madam, sorry for this inconvenience. We don’t want to make your journey unpleasant by making you sit next to someone with whom you aren’t comfortable. There is one seat available in the first class. Although we don’t allow any passenger to move from economy class to first class, to make you a happy customer, we are doing this for the first time in our company’s history. Our captain agreed to shift from economy class to first class!” Just before the lady said any word as a reply, the air hostess humbly requested the black man and told him, “Dear sir, would you please shift your seat to first class? Please retrieve all your personal items from your seat and our captain would like to move you to first class as we don’t really want to have an uncomfortable journey sitting next to an unpleasant person, with an ugly mind!” The lady was quiet and frozen! A few of the fellow passengers were happy and gave huge applause for the flight crew! 13 Why didn’t the woman hurry to take his seat? A. Because the seat itself made her feel sick. B. Because she wanted to have a seat in the first class. C. Because there’s a long time before the plane took off. D. Because she disliked to sit with a black man beside her at all. 14. What does the underlined word “composed” in the third paragraph mean? A. Upset. B. Calm. C. Angry. D. Happy. 15. What can we infer according to the passage? A. The lady’s behavior annoyed the passengers. B. The captain knew the black passengers well. C. The problem was solved as the lady expected. D. The lady was invited to move to the first class. 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) How to Be Strong-minded Most successful people have one characteristic in common: they are strong-minded.
