Eva sat in a quiet corner in the library. With her textbook open in front of her, she tried to make sense of all the practice questions for the ____11____ test. For example, “In what year did England defeat (击败) the Spanish Armada?” It’s... It’s... She didn’t know! How she wished that the test were on poetry (诗歌)! Eva ____12____ poetry and its rhyming expressions.
She dropped her head to the book and buried her face in the pages. “Impossible!”
“Hi, Eva! Do you want to ____13____ together?” Anne from her class asked while sitting with dozens of index cards (索引卡) and some coloured pencils in front of her.

“This is ____14____ I study,” Anne said. “I like art, and the doodles (涂鸦) help me recall ____15____. Sometimes memorization isn’t enough, and I have to get ____16____. But right now, I’m having ____17____ with this question ‘What would you call someone who lives in Flanders?’.” She pointed to a question she’d written on the front of an index card.
After ____18____ the answer “Fleming” to the question, an idea came into Eva’s head. If Annie could use her artistic skills to ____19____, then why couldn’t she use her own love of poetry? She said aloud, “See the flamingo (火烈鸟) home to Flanders!” Annie ____20____ at her. “Flamingo? What does a flamingo have to do with it?” She paused for a moment and said, “See the flamingo home ... See the Fleming go home to Flanders. Yes! It’s ____21____. A Fleming lives in Flanders.” “Bingo!” Annie used a pink coloured pencil to draw a flamingo on the back of the index card. “Hey, that was pretty cool.”
“Thanks,” Eva smiled. She looked down and repeated the ____22____ “In what year did England defeat the Spanish Armada?”.
“It was 1588,” Annie answered, reading from the book faster than Eva this time. “But how can I even draw that? ____23____ are hard to show by drawing.”
Eva excitedly wrote something down, and then ____24____ it to Annie, “1588 made England celebrate. And we could show that with steak and cake.”
“Wow, it sounds like a ____25____!” said Annie.
Suddenly, studying didn't seem so impossible.

Sometimes, when we’re not quite awake but not fully asleep either, our brains might be really good at coming up with new ideas. A study found that people who have a light sleep would be better at solving problems later.
Researchers read stories about some scientists solving difficult problems after a light and short sleep. It is said that the famous inventor Thomas Edison used to look for the twilight (朦胧的) moments between wakefulness and sleep. He used to sit in a chair and hold two balls. As he started to fall asleep, the balls fell down and made a noise that woke him up. This way, he could write down his ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them.
To see if Edison’s idea could work for other people, researchers asked 103 healthy people to come to their lab. They had to try to solve a difficult Maths problem. After that, they got a 20-minute break in a quiet and dark room. They sat in chairs and held a light bottle in one hand, just like the way Edison did. The researchers told them to close their eyes and rest or even sleep if they wanted to. After the break, they went back to the Maths problem.
While they were resting, the researchers checked their brainwaves. They found that more than half of the people didn’t fall asleep. But 24 people did fall asleep and had a light sleep called N1. Another 14 people went into a deeper sleep called N2.
The researchers saw a great difference between the groups. The people who had a light sleep, the N1 stage, were about 2.7 times more likely to solve it than people who stayed awake. And they were about 5.9 times more likely to solve it than those who went into the deeper N2 sleep.
However, more work is needed to find out the relation between N1 and creativity. The results are interesting because they suggest that maybe we can learn how to get into this light sleep stage on purpose.
It seems that Edison knew something about how being a bit sleepy can help us be more creative. But don’t think that you should copy his habits completely. He also thought that sleeping was a waste of time.
29. Why does the writer mention Thomas Edison in Paragraph 2?
A. To tell the importance of sleep. B. To explain why Edison slept well.
C. To introduce Edison’s inventions. D. To show how researchers got their idea.
30. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. why the study was designed B. how the study was carried out
C. what result the study showed D. what the future study may focus on
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Holding a ball while sleeping helps people come up with new ideas.
B. People can learn some skills after reaching the twilight stage of sleep.
C. A light sleep may make people creative and be better problem solvers.
D. Staying awake for a long time will make people forget things easily.
32. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to sleep less in the daytime. B. To discuss the importance of a deep sleep.
C. To compare different kinds of sleep. D. To prove the value of a light sleep.
C
Ann wanted to play in the Community Orchestra (管弦乐队), but she was nervous. She thought the music might be too difficult. Before her first rehearsal (排练) she was so nervous that she could hardly tune (调音) her instrument. The only orchestra she had ever played in was the one at school. After a few rehearsals (排练), she was comfortably playing along with everyone else. She realized that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.
During rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny, who sat next to her. Danny was always helpful. Ann liked to ask him questions about music. Danny’s parents were musicians. They had started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn’t imagine playing the violin at that age. Danny told her that many famous musicians and composers started studying music at a very young age.
Another orchestra member who became a friend of Ann’s was Marie. Marie played the clarinet(单簧管). After rehearsals, she would tell Ann funny stories. Marie said that when she played the clarinet at home as a child, it squeaked so much that she got the nickname “Squeaky”. That was a long time ago. Now Marie could play the clarinet beautifully. Sometimes, just to make Ann laugh, Marie would make her clarinet squeak. Even though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.
The orchestra was rehearsing music for the spring concert. Ann liked all the composers, but Mozart was her favourite. Some of her friends didn’t understand why she liked Mozart. But they promised to come to the spring concert anyway. Ann’s family was also planning to attend the concert. They didn’t know any of these composers. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert. The concert would be cancelled if it rained.
On the night of the spring concert, Ann was excited. She had never played for so many people before. Both Danny and Marie told her that the spring concert was always fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor (指挥), who usually seemed quite calm, was nervous. Ann was surprised at it because she knew that he had been in big concerts all over the world for at least 40years. After the concert, the conductor seemed pleased. He praised the members of the orchestra for their fine performance.
33. Which best describes Ann at the beginning of the passage?
A. She was excited to make new friends. B. She was afraid she would make a mess.
C. She was willing to try something new. D. She was not interested in playing music.
34. Which of the following is true about Ann’s friends?
A. Not all her friends loved Mozart’s music. B. Danny often asked Ann a lot about music.
C. Her friends would learn to play the violin. D. Marie could play the clarinet well as a child.
35. Ann hoped it wouldn’t rain on the night of the concert most probably because ________ .
A. Ann’s friends didn’t like the rain B. the concert was going to be held outside
C. the rain might make the conductor nervous D. Ann couldn’t walk to the concert in the rain
36. What would happen later in the passage?
A. Ann would decide to be a conductor. B. Ann would play in many more concerts.
C. Ann and Marie would teach children music. D. Ann and Danny would join another orchestra.
D
You can put a postage stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the U. S. mail. No, it’s not an envelope or a package. It s the amazing coconut! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People drink the juice and eat the flesh (果肉), they use coconut oil as a lotion (护肤液), and they use the for the container (容器). People in some island nations have even used the coconut in place of money. It is possible that humans have been using coconuts in many of these different ways for thousands of years. Even today, people are still finding new uses for the coconut.
One of the most exciting uses of the coconut is as a source of energy in place of petroleum (石油). Scientists around the world are working on using coconuts for energy because coconuts are cheap, clean, and renewable things. Already, coconut-rich countries such as Papua New Guinea and the Philippines, are using coconut oil for this reason. Engineers from these countries have made an effective biofuel out of coconut oil and alcohol. The fuel can power cars, trucks, ships, and even electric-power plants. In addition, the South Pacific islands of Tokelau are using coconut oil along with solar energy as their primary energy source. The two together can produce 100 percent of the electricity the islands need.
Researchers at Baylor University in Texas have studied the coconut husk. The result shows that coconut husks can take in water very well. Mixing coconut husks with dry soil helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. They are also finding that the fibres can replace plastic in some cases. For example, the researchers are looking into using coconut husk fibres instead of plastic in parts of the interior of a car. If this is possible, it will help to make vehicles more environmentally friendly.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from being damaged. When the coconut falls on the ground or into water the husk protects it. Its strong husk is the reason why the U. S. Postal Service allows people to send the coconut without any extra packaging anywhere in the country. All that is necessary is to stick some stamps right onto the coconut. Each year, tourists on the Hawaiian island of Molokai post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and regular rainfall. No extra care is needed. Every year, these 80 countries produce about 61 million tons of coconuts. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find multiple uses for the coconut. Because they’re an easy-to-grow resource, coconuts really are more than just great souvenirs to bring home after a trip to the tropics.
37. In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined part “this reason” refer to?
A. Coconuts are not only cheap and clean, but also renewable things.
B. An effective biofuel is made out of coconut oil and alcohol.
C. People in coconut-rich countries use coconuts a lot in daily lives.
D. Coconuts husks produce a source of energy in place of petroleum.
38. What feature of the husk makes it so useful for planting?
A. The husk can take in water well. B. The husk can be used instead of plastic.
C. The husk can be quickly mixed with soil. D. The husk can help protect the environment.
39. In the last paragraph, the writer proves that coconuts are an easy-to-grow resource by ________.
A. listing the facts B. showing the results C. expressing the opinions D. comparing the numbers
40. Which is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. A perfect package B. A fruit with rich uses C. A source of energy D. An easy-to-grow resource

One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.
One officer looked at the mushrooms carefully and then said, “They look nice, but I heard that some mushrooms might be poisonous (有毒的). Let’s get Jimmy to examine a piece for us.” Jimmy was the dog they kept. They brought it in, and fed it one piece. The dog quickly ate it, and seemed to enjoy the mushroom. Fifteen minutes later, Jimmy was still alive and kicking without showing any discomfort. The officers were relieved (放心的) and began to eat their meal, saying that the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.
However, an hour later, the gardener rushed into the room and reported in a sad voice that the dog was dead. The officers were astonished (吃惊的) and their faces turned white out of fear.Immediately, they jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. The doctors and nurses used a stomach pump (洗胃泵) to help them get rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs. Everyone had a hard time.
When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the poisonous mushrooms. Each man explained the pain he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. “The poor dog must have died painfully,” said one officer. “Let’s ask the gardener how it died.”
So they called the gardener in and asked him more details about Jimmy’s death. The gardener sighed and said, “Jimmy was a good dog. It is said that a car hit it in the middle of the road. But I guess it didn’t suffer much. It died the moment it was hit.”

Sometimes, when we’re not quite awake but not fully asleep either, our brains might be really good at coming up with new ideas. A study found that people who have a light sleep would be better at solving problems later.
Researchers read stories about some scientists solving difficult problems after a light and short sleep. It is said that the famous inventor Thomas Edison used to look for the twilight (朦胧的) moments between wakefulness and sleep. He used to sit in a chair and hold two balls. As he started to fall asleep, the balls fell down and made a noise that woke him up. This way, he could write down his ideas before he fell into a deep sleep and forgot them.
To see if Edison’s idea could work for other people, researchers asked 103 healthy people to come to their lab. They had to try to solve a difficult Maths problem. After that, they got a 20-minute break in a quiet and dark room. They sat in chairs and held a light bottle in one hand, just like the way Edison did. The researchers told them to close their eyes and rest or even sleep if they wanted to. After the break, they went back to the Maths problem.
While they were resting, the researchers checked their brainwaves. They found that more than half of the people didn’t fall asleep. But 24 people did fall asleep and had a light sleep called N1. Another 14 people went into a deeper sleep called N2.
The researchers saw a great difference between the groups. The people who had a light sleep, the N1 stage, were about 2.7 times more likely to solve it than people who stayed awake. And they were about 5.9 times more likely to solve it than those who went into the deeper N2 sleep.
However more work is needed to find out the relation between N1 and creativity. The results are interesting because they suggest that maybe we can learn how to get into this light sleep stage on purpose.
It seems that Edison knew something about how being a bit sleepy can help us be more creative. But don’t think that you should copy his habits completely. He also thought that sleeping was a waste of time.
29. Why does the writer mention Thomas Edison in Paragraph 2?
A. To tell the importance of sleep. B. To explain why Edison slept well.
C. To introduce Edison’s inventions. D. To show how researchers got their idea.
30. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A. why the study was designed B. how the study was carried out
C. what result the study showed D. what the future study may focus on
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Holding a ball while sleeping helps people come up with new ideas.
B. People can learn some skills after reaching the twilight stage of sleep.
C. A light sleep may make people creative and be better problem solvers.
D. Staying awake for a long time will make people forget things easily.
32. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to sleep less in the daytime. B. To discuss the importance of a deep sleep.
C. To compare different kinds of sleep. D. To prove the value of a light sleep.

Ann wanted to play in the Community Orchestra (管弦乐队), but she was nervous. She thought the music might be too difficult. Before her first rehearsal (排练) she was so nervous that she could hardly tune (调音) her instrument. The only orchestra she had ever played in was the one at school. After a few rehearsals (排练), she was comfortably playing along with everyone else. She realized that there was no reason to be nervous and began to enjoy herself.
During rehearsals, Ann became friends with Danny, who sat next to her. Danny was always helpful. Ann liked to ask him questions about music. Danny’s parents were musicians. They had started teaching Danny music when he was only five years old. Ann couldn’t imagine playing the violin at that age. Danny told her that many famous musicians and composers started studying music at a very young age.
Another orchestra member who became a friend of Ann’s was Marie. Marie played the clarinet(单簧管). After rehearsals, she would tell Ann funny stories. Marie said that when she played the clarinet at home as a child, it squeaked so much that she got the nickname “Squeaky”. That was a long time ago. Now Marie could play the clarinet beautifully. Sometimes, just to make Ann laugh, Marie would make her clarinet squeak. Even though Marie was much older than Ann, the two became good friends.
The orchestra was rehearsing music for the spring concert. Ann liked all the composers, but Mozart was her favourite. Some of her friends didn’t understand why she liked Mozart. But they promised to come to the spring concert anyway. Ann’s family was also planning to attend the concert. They didn’t know any of these composers. Ann looked forward to the event, and she hoped it would not rain on the night of the concert. The concert would be cancelled if it rained.
On the night of the spring concert, Ann was excited. She had never played for so many people before. Both Danny and Marie told her that the spring concert was always fun. Ann knew that she would enjoy it. The conductor (指挥), who usually seemed quite calm, was nervous. Ann was surprised at it because she knew that he had been in big concerts all over the world for at least 40years. After the concert, the conductor seemed pleased. He praised the members of the orchestra for their fine performance.
33. Which best describes Ann at the beginning of the passage?
A. She was excited to make new friends. B. She was afraid she would make a mess.
C. She was willing to try something new. D. She was not interested in playing music.
34. Which of the following is true about Ann’s friends?
A. Not all her friends loved Mozart’s music. B. Danny often asked Ann a lot about music.
C. Her friends would learn to play the violin. D. Marie could play the clarinet well as a child.
35. Ann hoped it wouldn’t rain on the night of the concert most probably because ________ .
A. Ann’s friends didn’t like the rain B. the concert was going to be held outside
C. the rain might make the conductor nervous D. Ann couldn’t walk to the concert in the rain
36. What would happen later in the passage?
A. Ann would decide to be a conductor. B. Ann would play in many more concerts.
C. Ann and Marie would teach children music. D. Ann and Danny would join another orchestra.

You can put a postage stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the U. S. mail. No, it’s not an envelope or a package. It s the amazing coconut! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People drink the juice and eat the flesh (果肉), they use coconut oil as a lotion (护肤液), and they use the for the container (容器). People in some island nations have even used the coconut in place of money. It is possible that humans have been using coconuts in many of these different ways for thousands of years. Even today, people are still finding new uses for the coconut.
One of the most exciting uses of the coconut is as a source of energy in place of petroleum (石油). Scientists around the world are working on using coconuts for energy because coconuts are cheap, clean, and renewable things. Already, coconut-rich countries such as Papua New Guinea and the Philippines, are using coconut oil for this reason. Engineers from these countries have made an effective biofuel out of coconut oil and alcohol. The fuel can power cars, trucks, ships, and even electric-power plants. In addition, the South Pacific islands of Tokelau are using coconut oil along with solar energy as their primary energy source. The two together can produce 100 percent of the electricity the islands need.
Researchers at Baylor University in Texas have studied the coconut husk. The result shows that coconut husks can take in water very well. Mixing coconut husks with dry soil helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. They are also finding that the fibres can replace plastic in some cases. For example, the researchers are looking into using coconut husk fibres instead of plastic in parts of the interior of a car. If this is possible, it will help to make vehicles more environmentally friendly.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from being damaged. When the coconut falls on the ground or into water, the husk protects it. Its strong husk is the reason why the U. S. Postal Service allows people to send the coconut without any extra packaging anywhere in the country. All that is necessary is to stick some stamps right onto the coconut. Each year, tourists on the Hawaiian island of Molokai post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and regular rainfall. No extra care is needed. Every year, these 80 countries produce about 61 million tons of coconuts. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find multiple uses for the coconut. Because they’re an easy-to-grow resource, coconuts really are more than just great souvenirs to bring home after a trip to the tropics.
37. In Paragraph 2, what does the underlined part “this reason” refer to?
A. Coconuts are not only cheap and clean, but also renewable things.
B. An effective biofuel is made out of coconut oil and alcohol.
C. People in coconut-rich countries use coconuts a lot in daily lives.
D. Coconuts husks produce a source of energy in place of petroleum.
38. What feature of the husk makes it so useful for planting?
A. The husk can take in water well. B. The husk can be used instead of plastic.
C The husk can be quickly mixed with soil. D. The husk can help protect the environment.
39. In the last paragraph, the writer proves that coconuts are an easy-to-grow resource by ________.
A. listing the facts B. showing the results C. expressing the opinions D. comparing the numbers
40. Which is the most suitable title for this passage?
A. A perfect package B. A fruit with rich uses C. A source of energy D. An easy-to-grow resource
【答案】37. A 38. A 39. A 40. B

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者因为在超市帮助一个陌生人停车,给无家可归的人捐钱而收到了一个陌生人给的礼物。
【46题详解】
句意:我发现的第一个停车位很方便,但我注意到一个开蓝色汽车的女人已经绕着找了一会儿了。根据“but I noticed a woman in a blue car... for a while”可知,此处强调注意到女人正在进行绕圈找车位这个动作。notice sb. doing sth.为固定短语,意为“注意到某人正在做某事”,circle的现在分词形式为circling。故填circling。
【47题详解】
句意:超市里人太多了,所以我穿过人群,很快就回到了新鲜空气中。根据“so I made my way through it and was back in the fresh air...”可知,此处需要一个副词来修饰动词短语“was back”。quick是形容词,其副词形式为quickly,意为“快速地”,符合语境。故填quickly。
【48题详解】
句意:心情很好,我把零钱包里的钱都倒在了一个无家可归的人的手里,还帮助一位老妇人倒车。根据“emptied my change purse into the hands of a... man”以及常识可知,通常是把钱给需要帮助的人,结合所给单词home,其形容词形式homeless表示“无家可归的”,修饰man符合语境。故填homeless。
【49题详解】
句意:她给了我一个奇怪的表情——一半惊讶,一半热切。根据“She was giving me a strange look— half..., half intent(热切的).”可知,此处描述表情的状态,用half surprised, half intent作后置定语修饰look。surprise是动词,其形容词形式surprised表示“感到惊讶的”,用来描述人的感受,符合语境。故填surprised。
【50题详解】
句意:我微笑着祝她有愉快的一天。根据“I smiled and wished her a... day.”可知,此处需要一个形容词修饰名词day。please是动词,其形容词形式pleasant表示“令人愉快的”,符合语境。故填pleasant。
【51题详解】
句意:这听起来可能很疯狂,但我正要去慈善箱扔掉我妈妈的一些东西。根据“This might sound crazy but I was on my way to the charity bins... some of my mother’s things off.”可知,去慈善箱的目的是扔掉妈妈的东西,“to drop some of my mother's things off”是动词不定式短语作目的状语。故填to drop。
【52题详解】
句意:你和她太像了。根据“You are just like... so much.”可知,like在此处是介词,意为“像”,后面跟人称代词的宾格形式。she是主格,其宾格形式为her。故填her。
【53题详解】
句意:她意味深长地看着我,然后从车窗递给我一个盒子。根据“She looked at me meaningfully and... a box in through the window.”可知,and连接两个并列的动作,looked是过去式,所以pass也应用过去式passed,描述过去发生的动作。故填passed。
【54题详解】
句意:这是我收到过的最好的礼物,而且它来自一个完全陌生的人。根据“it was from a complete stranger”以及“I had ever received”可知,在“我”收到过的所有礼物中,这个是最好的,应用nice的最高级形式nicest。故填nicest。
【55题详解】
句意:项链挂在我的脖子上,温暖地提醒着我善良的存在。根据“The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of...”可知,空前的of是介词,后面接名词,kind是形容词,其名词形式kindness表示“善良”,符合语境。故填kindness。

Each man explained the pain he had felt and they agreed that it had grown worse on their way to the hospital. “The poor dog must have died painfully,” said one officer. “Let’s ask the gardener how it died.”

【答案】例文
Dear fellow students,
How time flies! We are going to graduate soon. As we all know, good habits play an important part in our life. Now let me share something about how to develop good habits in our senior high school life with you.
A healthy and happy life starts with good living habits. Firstly, we should have good eating habits. It’s good for us to have three meals which include different kinds of healthy food on time. Secondly, we should have a good sleeping habit — get up early and go to bed early.
Besides good living habits, we should also form good learning habits. It’s important for high school students to make full use of time. In class we should listen to teachers carefully and take some notes if necessary. If you have any problems, don’t forget to ask your teachers or classmates for help. After class, we’d better make a plan for our study, and then follow it strictly.
I hope you will form good habits and enjoy your new school life.
Yours,
Li Hua
