As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.
Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
8. As far as the author is concerned, teenage years are _________.
A. a period of complete freedom
B. too hard for young people to get through
C. an important time for the young to make the right choices
D. a very important period for young students to leave their parents
9. The underlined words “some people” in paragraph 4 probably refer to “_________”.
A. your parents. B. your classmates. C. your teachers D. your relatives.
10. The best title for this passage would be “_________”.
A. The Choices in Life B. The Key to Success
C. Say Goodbye to the Past D. Becoming a Young Adult
11. Who is the passage mainly intended for?
A. Teenagers. B. Teachers. C. Young parents. D. Adults.
D
Loss of slow-wave sleep as you age may increase your risk of developing dementia (痴呆), according to a new study.
“We found that aging was associated with a decline in the amount of the deepest stages of sleep, known as slow-wave sleep. We then found that people with greater declines in slow-wave sleep over time had a higher risk of getting dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up,” said Matthew Pase, senior author of the study.
Slow-wave sleep is the third and fourth stages of sleep which is important for brain health. During this stage, the body removes unwanted or harmful materials from the brain. “For the brain, this deep sleep is thought to be the most restorative,” said Dr Richard Isaacson, who wasn’t involved in the study.
The researchers wanted to know whether chronic (慢性的) reductions in slow-wave sleep over time are linked to dementia risk in humans and whether dementia-related processes in the brain may contribute to getting less of this type of sleep. They studied 346 people with an average age of 69 and completed two overnight sleep studies—one between 1995 and 1998 and the second between 1998 and 2001—during which their sleep was monitored. The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17 years after they completed the sleep studies. By that time, 52 participants had been diagnosed with dementia. Each percentage decrease in slow-wave sleep per year was linked to a 27 percent increased risk of developing dementia. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss accelerated (加速) from age 60, peaked from ages 75 to 80and slowed afterwards.
“This is an important study yet again showing the impact of quality of sleep on a person’s risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” Isaacson said. “It’s important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible.”
12. What can we learn from the new study?
A. The older you are, the less sleep you will have.
B. Slow-wave sleep has been linked to the risk of dementia.
C. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss keeps going up with age.
D. The amount of sleep has an impact on the risk of dementia.
13. How did researchers get what they wanted?
A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing a concept.
C. By referring to another study. D. By making a survey.
14. What did Dr Richard Isaacson suggest?
A. Sleep quality needs more attention.
B. We should have enough sleep.
C. The elderly should sleep more than the young.
D. The amount of sleep is more important than sleep quality.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Sports. B. Health. C. Education. D. Environment.

The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.
注意:续写词数应为150左右
It was late in the evening when she got home.

As I walked into the primary school, I looked down at my new black shoes. I stood at Mrs. Blackstone’s door. Before I tried the great escape, the door opened. “We’ve been waiting for you!” Mrs. Blackstone, my new fifth grade teacher, said loudly. With a smile my mom walked away and I was left taking center stage in front of a group of students.
Over the next few days, Mrs. Blackstone made it her job to find me a new best friend. During history lessons, when I didn’t want to speak in front of the class, she’d not only call on me but have me stand up to address my classmates.
One spring afternoon, Mrs. Blackstone asked me to stay after class. “I’d like to speak with you, Amanda.” My mind raced. Had I got a bad grade? Had I hurt anyone’s feelings? “Are you enjoying your new school?” She sat comfortably behind her desk. “I want to tell you something, between you and me, not to be shared with anyone else.” She continued, “I see something special in you. The way you communicate with others, and the kindness you show — I think you have great potential (潜力) to be something important.” I listened carefully to every word. “I have been a teacher for over twenty-five years; I can see it. But you must believe in yourself. That’s very important. Remember that and you’ll go far,” she said.
Her voice was music to my ears that day. I walked out of her office, not staring at my shoes, but looking straight ahead with my head high. My teacher saw something special in me! Years later, her words still remain inside of me.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!

Loss of slow-wave sleep as you age may increase your risk of developing dementia (痴呆), according to a new study.
“We found that aging was associated with a decline in the amount of the deepest stages of sleep, known as slow-wave sleep. We then found that people with greater declines in slow-wave sleep over time had a higher risk of getting dementia over the next 17 years of follow-up,” said Matthew Pase, senior author of the study.
Slow-wave sleep is the third and fourth stages of sleep, which is important for brain health. During this stage, the body removes unwanted or harmful materials from the brain. “For the brain, this deep sleep is thought to be the most restorative,” said Dr Richard Isaacson, who wasn’t involved in the study.
The researchers wanted to know whether chronic (慢性的) reductions in slow-wave sleep over time are linked to dementia risk in humans and whether dementia-related processes in the brain may contribute to getting less of this type of sleep. They studied 346 people with an average age of 69 and completed two overnight sleep studies—one between 1995 and 1998 and the second between 1998 and 2001—during which their sleep was monitored. The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17 years after they completed the sleep studies. By that time, 52 participants had been diagnosed with dementia. Each percentage decrease in slow-wave sleep per year was linked to a 27 percent increased risk of developing dementia. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss accelerated (加速) from age 60, peaked from ages 75 to 80and slowed afterwards.
“This is an important study yet again showing the impact of quality of sleep on a person’s risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” Isaacson said. “It’s important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible.”
12. What can we learn from the new study?
A. The older you are, the less sleep you will have.
B. Slow-wave sleep has been linked to the risk of dementia.
C. The rate of slow-wave sleep loss keeps going up with age.
D. The amount of sleep has an impact on the risk of dementia.
13. How did researchers get what they wanted?
A. By making a comparison. B. By introducing a concept.
C. By referring to another study. D. By making a survey.
14. What did Dr Richard Isaacson suggest?
A. Sleep quality needs more attention.
B. We should have enough sleep.
C. The elderly should sleep more than the young.
D. The amount of sleep is more important than sleep quality.
15. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Sports. B. Health. C. Education. D. Environment.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B

The researchers also investigated whether any change in the amount of slow-wave sleep that participants got was associated with developing dementia up to 17 years after they completed the sleep studies.(研究人员调查了平均年龄69岁的346个人,并且分别在1995年至1998年间以及1998年至2001年间完成了两项夜间睡眠研究,在这期间对他们的睡眠进行了监测。研究人员还调查了参与者慢波睡眠时间的任何变化是否与完成睡眠研究17年后患痴呆症有关)”可知,研究人员是通过做调查的方式得到他们想要的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““This is an important study yet again showing the impact of quality of sleep on a person’s risk of cognitive decline and dementia,” Isaacson said. “It’s important to not only pay attention to the total amount of sleep a person gets each night, but also monitor sleep quality as best as possible.”(“这项重要研究再次表明了睡眠质量对于一个人患上认知衰退和痴呆症风险的影响。”艾萨克森表示:“我们不光要注意一个人每夜睡眠的总时长,也要尽可能监测睡眠质量。”)”可知,Richard Isaacson的建议是要多关注睡眠质量。故选A。
【15题详解】

【16题详解】
根据上文“It’s easy for us to get caught up in our own little worlds and hide what we’re feeling from other people.(我们很容易陷入自己的小世界,对别人隐瞒自己的感受)”可知,有时候我们会在不知不觉中隐瞒自己的感受,使自己处于戒备状态。G项“有时候,我们甚至没有意识到自己在被保护或隐藏自己的感情”符合题意,选项中的“hiding our feelings”呼应上文的“hide what we’re feeling from other people”。故选G。

【18题详解】
空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“This process will make you more self-aware.(这个过程会让你更加有自我意识)”可知,下文应继续陈述给自己的情绪命名的好处。E项“它还将帮助你表达你的感受”符合题意,also表明上下文为顺承关系,“help”呼应上文的“make you more self-aware”。故选E。

(每天,写下一两段关于你的一天以及它带给你的感觉)”可知,上文提出可以通过写日记来帮助自己在情感上向他人敞开心扉,下文提到了怎么做。由此推知,空处应陈述这样做的目的。F项“把它当作一个让你敞开心扉,坦诚相待的特殊空间”承接自然,选项中的“it”指代上文的“keep a daily journal”。故选F。

根据上文“Dedicate one night a week to go out and grab dinner with your family.(每周抽出一个晚上和家人一起出去吃饭)”以及下文“or go on a 20-minute walk every day.(或者每天步行20分钟)”可知,上下文都在列举一些和他人一起进行的活动。由此推知,空处也应列举某种活动。C项“和你的搭档一起上烹饪课”符合题意,故选C。

考查冠词。句意:传统上唯一不用于制作纸灯笼的颜色是白色;在许多亚洲文化中,它经常被用来纪念死者。此处是“the+形容词”的用法,表示一类人,the dead“死者”,故填the。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意:纸灯笼有各种形状和大小。空处应填形容词作定语,修饰名词短语“shapes and sizes”,various/varied“各种各样的”,形容词,故填various/varied。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一种常见的设计是球形或球形设计,通过在竹条上拉伸来保持其形状。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“the ball or globe design”,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which,故填which。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今天,除非使用的纸是防火的,否则很难看到装蜡烛的纸灯笼。动词use和paper之间是动宾关系,应用过去分词作后置定语,故填used。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:所以在现代,为了安全起见,人们经常使用小电灯而不是蜡烛来避免可能发生的火灾。结合句意可知,此处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to avoid。

【答案】Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to apply to be a volunteer for the Chinese Painting Exhibition which will be held in your art gallery. I think I am qualified for this job, because I have learned Chinese painting since childhood. Besides, I am fluent in both Chinese and English, which is beneficial for introducing Chinese paintings. If I am lucky enough to be chosen as a volunteer, I can show visitors around the gallery and get them to know more about Chinese painting.
I would be very grateful if you could offer me the opportunity. I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.
注意:续写词数应为150左右

【答案】One possible answer
It was late in the evening when she got home. The whole family was waiting for her. It was still snowing hard outside. Seeing the white frost on his stepmother’s face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently. Dinner was ready and Abe’s brothers and sisters went to lay the table. But Mrs. Lincoln was not in a hurry. She carefully took out a package from her bag and started to unwrap it.
Abe’s eyes became very wide. He fixed his eyes upon the package and watched eagerly. As Mrs. Lincoln tore the package open, a book suddenly came into sight. Little Abe couldn’t help crying out in joy! He ran to get it and found it was an old story book. He couldn’t wait one more minute and began to read it. Soon, he was so absorbed in reading the book that he totally forgot the meal on the table.
