Five years ago, I was sent to a better middle school. For me, everything there was new and strange. After I have been there for two months, there was an important test in the middle of the term. It covered all my courses. In that test, I didn’t get a good grades, but most of my classmates got an A or A.
It made me upset for a long time. I felt everything in the world was changing. I thought my classmates were all better than me. During those days I was very unhappy.
One day, my aunt, after talking about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future. I was shocked by her words. I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. I thought I should work harder.
After that, I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes, and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something. I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems. Most of all, I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class. As a result, I did better in some tests.
About three months later, the most important test came at the end of the term. This time, I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade. From then on, I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something, I should work hard for it.
4. Why did the writer fall behind in the new middle school?.
A. Because the teachers did not treat him well enough.
B. Because the subjects were becoming more difficult.
C. Because he hated the life in the new school.
D. Because he didn’t put his heart into study.
5. What did the writer’s aunt do to help him out?
A. She punished him for not working hard.
B. She helped him find out the reasons for his poor performance.
C. She forced him to work harder.
D. She asked his teachers to talk with him about his problems.
6. Which of the following learning methods helped the writer most?
A. Making notes in class.
B. Working deep into the night every day.
C. Asking teachers for help when in difficulty.
D. Listening to every word his teachers said.
7. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. The writer failed again in the exam.
B. The writer became the cleverest in the class.
C. The writer did very well in the exam.
D. The writer was very proud of his progress.
C
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become cleverer since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
8. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. findings that language learning can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
9. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
10. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A. a person who can speak two languages
B. a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C. a researcher on language learning
D an active language learner
11. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
D
When we talk to our friends online,typing can become a little boring.More often than not,we turn to memes(表情包)to make our conversations more fun. But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can mean trouble.
At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive memes in a private Facebook group, the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.In fact, this was not the first time Harvard had dealt with a case like this. Instead of regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly places, joking about Orthodox Jews, the Holocaust and Mexican children,” reported CNN.
At first,the group was meant for would-be Harvard freshmen to get to know each other before they began university.But later,some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers.
The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world.
“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about.” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended.”
However, others believe the university overstepped the boundaries. “It sounds like Harvard is intruding too deeply into the private lives of students, ”Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian, “It may affect them for life.”
The university didn’t explain the decision to withdraw the offers,saying it doesn’t comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.But one of Harvard’s own policies says it has the right to withdraw offers of acceptance if “an admitted student engages in behavior that brings into question his or her honesty,maturity,or moral character”, according to the Harvard Crimson.
12. From the text we can know that .
A. people send memes to make fun of friends during conversations
B. some Harvard students set up a group to get familiar with university courses
C. Harvard University had never dealt with similar cases before
D. Alan Dershowitz thinks it wrong to take back these students’ offers
13. Harvard withdrew the students’ offers probably because .
A. they sent memes online
B. their moral characters were questionable
C. their behavior affected their private lives
D. they joked about Harvard’s policy.
14. What is the writer’s attitude toward the decision?
A. Supportive.
B Objective.
C. Subjective.
D. Indifferent.
15. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Harvard Hopefuls Pay Tough Price
B. Harvard Freshmen Face Charges
C. Harvard Draws the Public’s Attention
D. Harvard Focuses on Students’ Privacy

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。
Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.
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。
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me.

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become cleverer since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes gray matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is. A team led by Dr Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learned a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that gray matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
8. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of learning a second language
C. findings that language learning can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
9. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ________.
A. say language is also a kind of physical labor
B. prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language
C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D. make people believe language learning helps gray matter work well
10. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means ________.
A. a person who can speak two languages
B. a person who is good at learning foreign languages
C. a researcher on language learning
D. an active language learner
11. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that ________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
【答案】8 C 9. D 10. A 11. B

When we talk to our friends online,typing can become a little boring.More often than not,we turn to memes(表情包)to make our conversations more fun. But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can mean trouble.
At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive memes in a private Facebook group, the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.In fact, this was not the first time Harvard had dealt with a case like this. Instead of regular jokes, the memes “went to truly dark and ugly places, joking about Orthodox Jews, the Holocaust and Mexican children,” reported CNN.
At first,the group was meant for would-be Harvard freshmen to get to know each other before they began university.But later,some students set up another group where they traded several offensive memes.When Harvard University found out about the group, it took back the students’ offers.
The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world.
“I appreciate humor, but there are so many topics that just should not be joked about.” incoming freshman Jessica Zhang told the Harvard Crimson. “I do not know how those offensive images could be defended.”
However, others believe the university overstepped the boundaries. “It sounds like Harvard is intruding too deeply into the private lives of students, ”Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian, “It may affect them for life.”
The university didn’t explain the decision to withdraw the offers,saying it doesn’t comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.But one of Harvard’s own policies says it has the right to withdraw offers of acceptance if “an admitted student engages in behavior that brings into question his or her honesty,maturity,or moral character”, according to the Harvard Crimson.
12. From the text we can know that .
A. people send memes to make fun of friends during conversations
B. some Harvard students set up a group to get familiar with university courses
C. Harvard University had never dealt with similar cases before
D. Alan Dershowitz thinks it wrong to take back these students’ offers
13. Harvard withdrew the students’ offers probably because .
A. they sent memes online
B. their moral characters were questionable
C. their behavior affected their private lives
D. they joked about Harvard’s policy.
14. What is the writer’s attitude toward the decision?
A. Supportive.
B. Objective.
C. Subjective.
D. Indifferent.
15. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Harvard Hopefuls Pay Tough Price
B. Harvard Freshmen Face Charges
C. Harvard Draws the Public’s Attention
D. Harvard Focuses on Students’ Privacy
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一群准哈佛学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性表情包,而被校方撤回了录取通知,此事在全世界引发了各方的热议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的““It sounds like Harvard is intruding too deeply into the private lives of students, ” Alan Dershowitz, a retired Harvard Law School professor, told The Guardian. “It may affect them for life.”可知,Alan Dershowitz认为哈佛对学生的私生活干涉得太深了,这个决定可能会影响他们的一生。由此推知,Alan Dershowitz认为校方撤回这些学生的录取通知书是错误的。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But one of Harvard’s own policies says it has the right to withdraw offers of acceptance if an “admitted student engages in behavior that brings into question his or her honesty, maturity, or moral character”, according to the Harvard Crimson.”可知,哈佛大学的一条政策解释到:如果被录取的学生从事的行为使他或她的诚实,成熟或道德品格受到质疑,哈佛大学有权撤回录取通知。由此可知,哈佛大学撤回录取通知书可能是因为这些学生的道德品质是有问题的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“The incident has caused fierce debates, both in the university and around the world.”可知,这一事件在大学和全世界引起了激烈的争论;倒数第三段列举了即将入学的大一新生Jessica Zhang的观点:有很多话题不应该被开玩笑;倒数第二段列举了哈佛大学法学院退休教授Alan Dershowitz的观点:哈佛对学生的私生活干涉得太深了,这个决定可能会影响他们的一生;最后一段中的“The university didn’t explain the decision to withdraw the offers, saying it doesn’t comment publicly on the admission of individual applicants.”提到哈佛大学没有解释撤回录取通知的决定。由此可知,文章中提到了该事件引发的反应及各方对这件事的态度,作者没有发表自己的看法,可知作者是在客观地描述这件事及各方的反应。故选B。
【15题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第一、二段中的“But sometimes, sending the wrong meme can mean trouble.”和“At least 10 students who were admitted to Harvard University lost their chance to study there after posting offensive memes in a private Facebook group, the university’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, reported on June 5.”可知,有时候,发送错误的表情包意味着麻烦。至少10名准哈佛学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性的表情包,而被校方撤回了录取通知。即本文主要介绍了有望进入哈佛大学的学生因在社交媒体上发布攻击性的表情包从而付出了沉重的代价,因此A项适合作为文章的标题。故选A。

考查非谓语动词。句意:与你成长的收获相比,成长的烦恼算不了什么。句中谓语是are,空格处用非谓语动词,the growing pains和compare之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,位于句首的单词首字母大写,故填Compared。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:首先,上课时你要认真听讲,把老师讲的都记下来。空格处用副词修饰动词listen,attentive的副词是attentively,意为“聚精会神地”。故填attentively。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:首先,上课时你要认真听讲,把老师讲的都记下来。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少宾语,先行词是不定代词all,关系代词只能用that不能用which,故填that。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:下课后,你应该充分利用每一分钟来完成作业。make full use of是固定短语,意为“充分利用”,因此空格处用介词of,故填of。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:此外,强烈建议你积极参加课堂活动。sb. be advised to do sth.是固定短语,意为“某人被建议做某事”,因此空格处用不定式to take。故填to take。
【44题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:你越积极,你对英语课就越不感到累。“the+比较级,the+比较级”是固定句型,意为“越……越……”,因此空格处用定冠词the,故填the。
【45题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:俗话说:世上无难事,只怕有心人。as an old saying goes是固定句型,意为“俗话说”,因此空格处是goes,故填goes。

Everyone’s first job is special, because you gain useful experience that you can use in other positions in future. It also teaches you about the value of money.
When I was about sixteen years old, I wanted to buy albums of my favourite band, but I did not have any money. This was because the money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I had to find a part-time job in order to purchase the music I wanted.
Luckily, I found that there were many old people who needed help in my neighbourhood. And I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. She answered that indeed she needed help in her garden.
My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one in her front yard and backyard. Finishing this tiring and boring task, I mowed her lawn front and back. That was the first day of my job, and it took me about two hours. After that, I was paid ten dollars for my work. It was less than I thought, but at least I had earned my first money.
After getting that ten dollars, I intended to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I chose a nice morning to do it because I knew it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts. But on the way to supermarket, I happened to see my mom “working” on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before, I just knew she was a saleswoman.

【答案】范文
Under the burning sun, my mom was distributing leaflets (分发传单) to passers-by, sweating all over. Once a man or woman passed by, my mom would give a piece of paper to him or her. Someone refused by slightly waving his hand and someone just ignored her without looking at her. Of course, there was someone who accepted the paper from my mom but would then throw it into a garbage can not far away. Seeing the scene, I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Tears welling up in my eyes, I murmured, “It’s so hard for mom to earn money.”
Then I continued making my way to the supermarket, and suddenly a good idea occurred to me. I bought a portable electric fan for mom instead of an album for myself. After that, I returned to the place where my mom worked. She mistook me for a passer-by and gave me a piece of paper. I took it and gave her the electric fan. Surprised to find out it was me, she mildly scolded me for my wasting money. I told her I bought it with the money I earned. She accepted it with a big smile on her face. It was then that I came to understand the value of money.
