Instead, they came up with interesting games to play. ★ Stone balls During the Qing Dynasty kicking a stone ball around was a popular sport in the northern part of China, and it was often played in the winter to protect kids from the cold. Stones were carved into small balls and kicked along with feet. In 1999, the sport was included in the 6th National Ethnic Group Traditional Sports Meeting held in Beijing. ★ Flying kites Kites have quite a long history. The earliest kites were made of wood, instead of paper. Nowadays, the four most famous kites are the Beijing kite, Tianjin kite, Weifang kite and Nantong kite, of which each has distinctive features. The kite which resembles a swallow is a well-known Beijing style. ★ Hide-and-seek Hide-and-seek is a traditional game for children, popular around the nation. There are two ways to play: covering a child’s eyes while other kids run around to tease(戏弄) him or, more commonly, participants hide and one child must try to find them. ★ Playing diabolos A diabolo is always made of wood or bamboo and has empty space in the center. By juggling(边抛边接) the diabolo on the rope, the high-speed spinning diabolos will make a sound like a whistle. Playing diabolos is an interesting folk game, especially popular in North China. Playing diabolos was also included in the first group of national intangible cultural heritage. 1. Why did ancient children often play stone balls in the winter? A. To practice their feet B. To warm themselves C. To train their skills D. To relax themselves. 2. Which kites are swallow-shaped? A. Weifang kites. B. Tianjin kites. C. Beijing kites. D. Nantong kites. 3. According to the passage, which one is a national intangible cultural heritage? A. Stone balls. B. Flying kites. C. Hide-and-seek. D. Playing diabolos B You have everything you think you need for your dream job, but could something else be holding you back? You possess hard skills for the job, but you may lack soft skills. Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical. A master’s degree in business is a hard skill. The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill. Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills, such as years of work experience or proficiency (精通) with particular computer programs. On the other hand, soft skills are harder to define. And they can’t be defined. And they can’t be measured. Soft skills covers a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common — and most necessary for success — include being a good listener and speaker, a wise leader, a problem solver, a strong communicator or a team player. It’s also helpful if you can accept feedback, settle conflicts with others, deal with difficult people or be flexible. These soft skills are what many employers desire. Soft skills benefit you in many ways. Being a good listener, for example, is very helpful if you’re a doctor. Being flexible, a team player and a problem solver help you succeed when dealing with deadlines. Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to success. Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you’ll love, or being more successful in the job you already have. They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their Job and someone who is outstanding, the person you always want on your team. In general, soft skills make you more likable and more competent. Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews, but soft skills don’t come naturally. 4. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Hard Skills Differ from Soft Skills B. Soft skills Can Be Learnt at School C. Soft Skills Needed in Workplace D. Soft Skills Matter to Your Success at Work 5. Which of the following belongs to hard skills? A. Having a good command of English. B. Communicating with others efficiently. C. Being good at expressing oneself. D. Being able to solve problems. 6. Which of the following is TRUE about soft skills? A. They are measurable and technical. B. They are taught in many universities. C. They are desired by many employers. D. They are specific job qualifications. 7. What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph? A. Why soft skills are important. B. How soft skills are developed. C. Where soft skills are applied. D. What the key soft skills are. C Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 8. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old. C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates. 9. What can we know about Pat’s family? A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges. C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other. 10. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow. 11. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Passion gives life power. C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn. D A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes. The new app is called MyShake, which is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Smartphones are equipped with accelerometers （加速器）.MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic （地震的）activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several warnings from one area it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then judges the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record 5. 0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less. MyShake uses very little power according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface like a table. The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the US Geological Survey. That US agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System also known as the EEW. The EEW has used sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection（发现）. The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it. The developers say they hope to add a feature that will warn people about a possible tsunami（海啸）after an earthquake. 12. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. What seismic activity is, B. What MyShake is and how it works. C. When accelerometers record earthquakes. D. MyShake plays an important role in reporting earthquakes. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. Only when smart phones are placed on a flat surface can it work. B. The smart phone can warn its owner when it senses an earthquake. C. MyShake can quickly send seismic information to the app's developers. D. MyShake can sense the difference between normal activities and earthquakes every time. 14. What probably will the app developers hope to do next? A. To better the EEW. B. To combine the EEW and MyShake. C. To add its function to warn the possible damage after an earthquake. D. To use the information by the U.S. Geological Survey to better MyShake. 15. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. MyShake will Be Used in Earthquakes B. MyShake Is on the Way to Predict Earthquakes C. MyShake Has Been Developed to Predict Earthquakes D. MyShake Makes Earthquake Prediction More Accurate 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Evaluating Sources of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.

Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 8. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old. C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates. 9. What can we know about Pat’s family? A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges. C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other. 10. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow. 11. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Passion gives life power. C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.(但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业的同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”可知，梅洛迪的毕业典礼很特别因为她祖母和她一起毕业。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired.( 虽然她偶尔会在UTC上一门课，但她说，她的家人继续鼓励她回去完成学位，特别是在她退休后。)”可推知，Pat的家人互相支持和鼓励。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.( 但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”和上文““We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor.( UTC校长史蒂文说:“我们很自豪能有像梅洛迪和她的祖母帕特·奥蒙德这样的2020届UTC毕业生。”)”可知，此处表示“他们共同体现了我们鼓励每一位UTC毕业生终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。” Personify意为“体现了”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。由此可知，D项：It’s never too late to learn.(活到老，学到老。)符合故事的主旨。故选D。 D A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes. The new app is called MyShake, which is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. Smartphones are equipped with accelerometers （加速器）.MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic （地震的）activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive several warnings from one area it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then judges the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record 5. 0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less. MyShake uses very little power according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network. The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface like a table. The developers hope that MyShake can add to information collected by the US Geological Survey That US agency has created the Earthquake Early Warning System also known as the EEW. The EEW has used sensors for measuring quakes in many areas. In places where no such equipment exists MyShake may be the only method of early quake detection（发现）. The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it. The developers say they hope to add a feature that will warn people about a possible tsunami（海啸）after an earthquake. 12. What's the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. What seismic activity is, B. What MyShake is and how it works. C. When accelerometers record earthquakes. D. MyShake plays an important role in reporting earthquakes. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A. Only when smart phones are placed on a flat surface can it work. B. The smart phone can warn its owner when it senses an earthquake. C. MyShake can quickly send seismic information to the app's developers. D. MyShake can sense the difference between normal activities and earthquakes every time. 14. What probably will the app developers hope to do next? A. To better the EEW. B. To combine the EEW and MyShake. C. To add its function to warn the possible damage after an earthquake. D. To use the information by the U.S. Geological Survey to better MyShake. 15. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? A. MyShake will Be Used in Earthquakes B. MyShake Is on the Way to Predict Earthquakes C. MyShake Has Been Developed to Predict Earthquakes D. MyShake Makes Earthquake Prediction More Accurate 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款叫做MyShake的手机应用程序，使用智能手机的震动来警告人们地震。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes. The new app is called MyShake…”（一款新的手机应用程序使用智能手机的震动来警告人们地震。这款新应用叫做 MyShake……）可知，第一段介绍了什么是MyShake；根据第二段中“Smartphones are equipped with accelerometers （加速器）.MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic （地震的）activity.”（ 智能手机配备了加速计。MyShake 使用手机加速计来测量地震活动。）等内容可知，第二段是介绍MyShake是如何工作的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“A smartphone sends seismic information to the app developers.”（智能手机向应用程序开发者发送地震信息。）可以推断，智能手机能够快速地向应用程序开发者发送地震信息。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The developers say they hope to add a feature that will warn people about a possible tsunami（海啸）after an earthquake.”（开发者表示，他们希望增加一个功能，警告人们地震后可能发生的海啸。）可知，开发者下一步可能希望增加它的功能，以警告地震后可能发生的损害。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据文章开头“A new phone app uses shaking from smartphones to warn people about earthquakes.”（一款新的手机应用程序使用智能手机的震动来警告人们地震。）以及倒数第二段最后一句“The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.”（开发人员说，随着越来越多的人使用它，它将变得更加有效。）可知本文主要介绍了一款叫做MyShake的新的手机应用程序，使用智能手机的震动来警告人们地震，并且它将变得更加有效。选项D“MyShake使地震预测更加准确”紧贴文章主题，突出了MyShake应用程序的功能和效果，适合作标题。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Evaluating Sources of health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation.
