College is an exciting time and place for young adults, but it can also be unsettling. Thankfully, there are plenty of books to help your children make a smooth transition(转变) to living independently and navigating the world of higher education.
Every Body Looking
by Candice Iloh
Going to college means that Ada will be living away from her family for the first time in her life. The distance gives her anxiety but breathing room, too. She has the opportunity to reflect on her upbringing, her family's expectations, and what she wants for herself. This National Book Award Finalist is about a young woman figuring out who she is and finding the courage to live authentically.

Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology(航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.
4. What can we know about Thessalonika from the passage?
A. She majored in science and technology.
B. She gained her master’s degree at the age of 11.
C. She started homeschooling when she was 6 years old.
D. She got her bachelor’s degree through online courses.
5. What is Thessalonika’s next plan according to the passage?
A. Majoring in aviation psychology.
B. Being active in her youth group.
C. Making inspiring speeches for leadership meetings.
D. Writing another book to help people to be geniuses.
6. Why does Thessalonika write the book Jump the Education Barrier?
A. To help people to be successful.
B. To raise concern about psychology.
C. To share her own experience with others.
D. To give students a hand to complete college.
7 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Homeschooling B. To Be a Genius
C. Three Published Books D. The Story of Thessalonika
C
Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.
New research has found that even if you give up smoking the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.
According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.
When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.
This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)----it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
8. The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .
A. introduce the topic of the passage B. give an example
C. make an argument D. show the main idea of the passage
9. Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .
A. people’s condition at birth B. environmental pollution
C. people’s bad living habit D. heart disease and cancer
10. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ .
A. the footprint B. the cement
C. the harmful effect D. the genetic change
11. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.
B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking
C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
D
Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things. From chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not, about what they're allowed to do - these are all the kinds of things that I hear teenagers and parents tell me about.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
12. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers?
A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first.
C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them.
13. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow?
A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit.
C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five.
14. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems
C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏团,马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man dropped his head, and his lips began to shake. The ticket lady again quoted the price. It was obvious that the man didn’t have enough money.
How would he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.

Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.
The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.
At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.
She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology(航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time. Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off—a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.
In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends. Her third book The Genius Race has a wider appeal. It is designed to help people to be geniuses in various areas of life.

Smoking is harmful. But as soon as you quit the habit, everything will be OK, right? Wrong.
New research has found that even if you give up smoking, the damage it has done to your genes will stay there for a much longer time. In the research, a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people. Among them, some were smokers, some used to smoke, and the rest were non-smokers. Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed--a number that is one-third of known human genes.
According to NBC News, both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes. Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.
When you stop smoking, a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.
This means your body is trying to heal (治愈) itself of the harmful effects of smoking. But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer. They can stay for as long as 30 years, It’s almost like leaving a footprint on wet cement (水泥)----it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.
Although the study results may make people unhappy, there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.
8. The function of Paragraph 1 is to_________ .
A. introduce the topic of the passage B. give an example
C. make an argument D. show the main idea of the passage
9. Most genetic changes happen because of___________ .
A people’s condition at birth B. environmental pollution
C. people’s bad living habit D. heart disease and cancer
10. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to__________ .
A. the footprint B. the cement
C. the harmful effect D. the genetic change
11. Which of the following statements is true?
A The findings are the fruit of more than three years’ research.
B. The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking
C. The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself.
D. The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】抽烟有害健康,停止抽烟就会一切好起来吗?文章给出了科学的证据陈述这是一种错误的观点。
【8题详解】
写作目的题。通读文章可知,第一段通过提出问题,下文具体阐述,故第一段的作用是介绍本文的话题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文中的句子Some people may have had the changes when they were born, but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.一些人可能出生时就有了这些基因的改变,但是大部分人是在日常生活中做类似抽烟时发生了基因的变化。故大部分人基因的改变发生在日常的坏习惯中,故选C。
【10题详解】
词义理解题。根据划线单词it所在的句子it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.它总是在那里,甚至当你走开,当水泥变干时。可知这里的it指的时上文的脚印,故选A。
【11题详解】
是非判断题。根据文章最后一句the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer risks.这些发现可以帮助科学家发明药物来治疗由抽烟造成的基因破坏,或者找到方法来辨别哪些人有心脏病或者癌症的风险。可知答案D正确。
D
Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in.
Teenagers and parents have different understanding about rules and at times they find it difficult to look into the future. So parents and teenagers will often experience conflict about many things. From chores, homework, whether teenagers speak respectfully or not, about what they're allowed to do - these are all the kinds of things that I hear teenagers and parents tell me about.
Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me”: if you don't have a positive relationship with your teenager. We need to go back and make sure there is some degree of shared respect, and some degree of positive communication and enjoyment being together. you do that first, it means that rule boundaries are a lot easier to set up.
Often we're dealing with conflict on the fly. This is not the right time to be dealing with it. We really want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. So this means we don't have rule boundaries like “Have the bathroom cleaned”. It needs to be “The floors mopped, nothing on the countertop and the mirrors cleaned by ten o'clock every Saturday”: Rule boundaries need to be written down, and set out ahead of time so the teenager knows exactly what's expected.
12. What's important to set up a rule boundary easily for teenagers?
A. Being strict from the start. B. Developing a good relationship with them first.
C. Saying"No" to their requirements. D. Avoiding close talks with them.
13. Which of the following rules are teenagers most likely to follow?
A. Doing some housework. B. Having a good reading habit.
C. Cleaning the bathroom. D. Finishing your homework by five.
14. What do the underlined words "on the fly" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. In a hurry. B. On the plane. C. By oneself. D. Another day.
15. What's the best title for the text?
A. Growing Pains B. Teenage Problems
C. Parent-Child Conflict and Solutions D. Knowing the Conflict
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Before we think about rule boundaries (界线) for teenagers, we need to make sure that we have a really good relationship base. There's no point saying “From now on, you have to listen to me” (在我们考虑青少年的规则界限之前,我们需要确保我们有一个非常好的关系基础。说“从现在开始,你必须听我的”是没有意义的)”可知,家长与孩子后期建立规则界限的关键是跟孩子有良好的关系基石。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The more detailed your rule boundaries are for teenagers, the more likely it is that they are going to follow them. (你为青少年制定的规则越详细,他们就越有可能遵守这些规则。)”可知 D选项“5点前完成作业。”规则最详细,故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后“This is not the right time to be dealing with it. Were ally want parents and teenagers to sit down and think about the kinds of things that may happen in the house before the problems come. (现在不是处理这件事的时候。我们希望父母和青少年在问题出现之前坐下来想想家里可能发生的事情。)”可推断上文意思是我们经常在匆忙中处理冲突,所以画线词意思是“匆忙地”,和In a hurry的意思最为接近。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其第一段“Conflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens for a lot of reasons. Sometimes conflict happens between teenagers and parents just because conflict happens between human beings anyway. Humans have different needs, different feelings, different opinions about what they want, and the relationship with people can be really difficult. However, teenagers can cause further conflict because of the hormonal (生理的) changes that are happening and the stage of life that they're in. (青少年和父母之间发生冲突的原因有很多。有时候青少年和父母之间会发生冲突,因为人类之间总是会发生冲突。人类有不同的需求,不同的感受,对自己想要的东西有不同的看法,与人的关系真的很困难。然而,由于正在发生的荷尔蒙变化和他们所处的人生阶段,青少年可能会引发进一步的冲突。)”可知文章主要讲述青少年和父母之间发生的冲突及解决方案。故选C。

(睡懒觉是很难改掉的习惯。事实上,它包括两件事——早睡早起。从比平时早15分钟上床睡觉开始,第二天把闹钟设置得比平时早15分钟。)”可知,这里与上文构成顺承关系,是上文提到的方法带来的结果。即通过调整重置自己的睡眠周期。所以G选择项“Gradually reset your sleep cycle until you get to your desired wake-up time.(逐渐重置你的睡眠周期,直到你达到你想要的起床时间。)”符合上下文语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】

【18题详解】
根据后文“Before going to bed, decide what you’re going to wear, work out which route you’ll take to work and what you’ll pack in your bag.(在睡觉前,决定好你要穿什么,计划好上班的路线,以及包里要装什么。)”可知,这里列举了我们睡觉前考虑的事情,包括第二天穿的衣服。所以A选项“Plan ahead(提前计划)”作为小标题,符合语境。故选A项。

【20题详解】
根据小标题“Get moving(动起来)”和后文“But if you can get yourself into the habit, exercising in the morning can give you energy to jump-start your day. (但如果你能养成这个习惯,早上锻炼可以给你力量,让你开始新的一天。)”可知,这里介绍晨练的好处。所以E选择项“Morning exercise can get you refreshed quickly. (晨练能让你很快精神焕发。)”符合上下文语境。故选E项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章中作者父亲生前种下的一棵树成为作者一家人的精神支柱,父亲种的树也陪伴了作者一家每个节日。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:50多年前,我爸爸种了一棵常青树。evergreen tree可数名词单数且evergreen是发音以元音音素开头的单词。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查可数名词复数。句意:几年后,当它长到大约3英尺高时,他在上面放了第一组圣诞灯。year是可数名词,前面有A few限定,因此要使用其复数形式,故填years。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:带着对他去世的所有情感,感恩节来了又走了。此处为动名词的复合结构,his为形容词性物主代词其后接宾语,故将 pass 改为 passing,动名词做his的宾语。故填passing。

考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:当谈到圣诞树的话题时,妈妈说:“今年不行。”the topic of the tree与bring up之间是被动关系,且由上下文可知,此处描述的是过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,主语是单数名词,be 动词用was。故填was brought。

考查时态。句意:但是我的哥哥、妹妹和我说:“爸爸一定希望这样做。”所以在接下来的周末,我们一起装饰圣诞树来纪念他。动作发生在过去,用一般过去时。故填decorated。
【41题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意:这棵树现在大约有40英尺高,我们必须用一个漂亮的升降机来打开顶部的灯。分析句子可知,“我们使用升降机”的目的是把高处的灯打开,空处可使用不定式作目的状语。故填to put。
【43题详解】

第二节 读后续写(满分15分)
57. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数60词以上。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏团,马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man dropped his head, and his lips began to shake. The ticket lady again quoted the price. It was obvious that the man didn’t have enough money.
How would he turn and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus?
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.” The man turned around and saw the money. He knew what was going on immediately. Looking straight into my dad’s eyes and taking my dad’s hands tightly, he replied, “Thank you, thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” Tears of gratitude ran down his cheeks. “Forget it, and just enjoy the circus. ” Father said with a big smile on his face. Then we went back to our car and drove home without any tickets. Although we didn’t go to the circus, we tasted the happiness of helping others.
【解析】
【分析】本文以故事的发展顺序为线索展开,讲述了作者和父亲排队买票去看马戏时遇到了一个有8个孩子的大家庭,孩子们因为即将可以看到马戏表演很兴奋,但当售票员说出票价时,孩子们的父亲沉默了,他怎么能转身告诉他的八个孩子他没有足够的钱带他们去看马戏呢?
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由续写段落首句内容“看到发生了什么,爸爸把手伸进口袋,掏出一张20美元的钞票,掉在地上。”可知,第一段可描写作者的父亲想帮助这个家庭,让他们的孩子能看到马戏表演,同时又不想让对方感到这是一种施舍。
2.续写线索:掉钱——帮助——感谢——回家——没有看马戏——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.转过身来:turned around/ turned back
②.回家:drove home /go back home/return home
情绪类
①.感谢:thank you /showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful
②.快乐:tasted the happiness/ feel happy
【点睛】[高分句型1]. He knew what was going on immediately.(由连接代词what引导的宾语从句作knew的宾语)
[高分句型2]. Although we didn’t go to the circus, we tasted the happiness of helping others.
(由连词Although引导让步状语从句)
