Many families have them for breakfast. The following is the instructions of Golden Oats from America. Cooking Ways Oat Snacks Servings (份) Golden Oats Water Oatmeal Cookies 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 cup flour 1 egg 1 spoon milk 1/4 tablespoon salt 1/2 cup Golden Oats 6 2 cups 6 cups 3 1 cup 3 cups 1 1/3 cup 1 cup Stove Boil the water.

A. cook the oats before adding water B. cook the oats for at least 4 minutes C. choose the microwave to cook the oats D. add fruits to the oats when cooking them B As a child, whenever you have a problem, you are most likely to turn to your family members or friends. But as you grow up, you should learn how to do things by yourself, because a part of being an adult is to master some basic life skills. However, it seems that many kids, even adults are gradually(渐渐地) losing these skills. Whether they are learning to ride a bike or swim, they all have a bit of trouble in mastering some certain important life skills. Nowadays, some children don’t know what to do with the trouble they meet. When they are in trouble, they ask their parents for help right away. In this way, they can’t improve their own independence(独立). Why do children lose their ability of independence? One reason is that parents care about them too much. In fact, many parents often care more about children’s study, while they easily forget the importance of children’s independence. They try every way to help them and even don’t let them do any housework. Once these children leave the family, they won’t have the ability to take care of themselves. American researcher Tuimeng has spent more than 30 years researching 1,500 children and he found that excellent children have independent ability and persistent spirit(坚持不懈的精神) and they also have the desire (欲望) to tackle any difficulty by themselves. In fact, every child has a strong sense of independence. When they can finish something independently, they will be very proud and happy. So parents should give their children support and encouragement(鼓励). And schools can provide more chances for students to attend competitions, social activities or volunteer jobs. Parents and schools can also teach them some basic life skills according to their age, like cooking, washing and cleaning. Children are members of the family, and they should take the responsibility(责任) to do some housework. This can not only develop their independence, but also improve the sense of belonging(归属感). 54. What is a part of being an adult? A. To learn how to manage time. B. To have a clear plan about future. C. To know how to ask for help. D. To master some basic life skills. 55. According to the writer, why do children lose their ability of independence? A. They can’t take care of themselves. B. They spend much time on study. C. Their parents help them too much. D. Their parents don’t teach them life skills. 56. What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean? A. Prepare. B. Solve. C. Ask. D. Believe. 57. What is the passage mainly about? A. The experts’ opinions on independence. B. The ways of dealing with difficulties. C. The results of a research about children. D. The importance of independence for children. C They say music is universal（全球的）, and it seems to be true since wherever we go, we see people listening, playing or dancing to it. We tend to think that music is larger than our cultural differences and shows the deeper connections between us. But according to a recent study published in the Current Biology, music doesn’t speak to everyone. There is a condition, the researchers argue, called “musical anhedonia（音乐快感缺乏症）”. They say that those who have this condition may have few abilities to experience pleasure from music. For the study, 30 people listened to the same, mostly classical music pieces. They were then asked to complete a questionnaire on how they felt about the music. At the same time, the researchers measured their heart rate and skin reaction（反应）, which are considered physiological（生理的） measures of feelings. According to the researchers, most of the people in the study got pleasure from the music. They had a quicker heartbeat and sweated（出汗）more. However, a small number of them had very little and even no pleasant feeling while they were listening to the music. These people had none or very few of the physical signs which the others in the study experienced. The researchers say that this means people have different abilities to enjoy music and that “there are people who specifically can’t enjoy music at all” To study the condition more deeply, another group of scientists, at Columbia University, US, researched brain activities. They found that the key is the blood flow to the reward system in the brain. People who got less pleasure from music had comparatively lower blood flow to areas involved in the reward system of the brain when they were listening to music. The lower blood flow makes it more likely that the brain’s “reward system” will be inactive. And it will produce less of the “pleasure chemical” dopamine（多巴胺）. As a result, people get less pleasure from music. If the research is correct, according to National Public Radio, there are simply people who just don’t get music. They may get pleasure from many things, but a good tune isn’t one of them. 58. The people who is called musical anhedonia _________________. A. avoid listening to music B. like to listen to certain types of music. C. can’t feel the pleasure that music brings to others. D. believe cultural differences are larger than music. 59. What was the purpose of the study mentioned in Current Biology? A. To learn what music people love the most. B. To learn how music influences people’s feelings. C. To understand the relationship between music and the body. D. To see whether music works in the same way for all people. 60. What happened in the study when people listened to music? A. All of them had faster heartbeat and sweated more. B. Those who enjoyed music had slower blood flow. C. They showed different physical signs as the music changed. D. Those who enjoyed music had more dopamine produced. 61. Which part of a magazine may the article appear in? A. Science. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Fashion. D People believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online. First Dictionary writers read the important books of that period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, the words and the uses of each word were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. As the cards were collected (A—Z). ______________. Then, to define（定义） a word, threw away some, read the rest again, he wrote the definitions, following the hard﹣and﹣fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him. So, the writing of a dictionary could last for years. It was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian. As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new inventions, and new feelings. 62. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?　 　 A. ①③④② B. ①②④③ C. ③④②① D. ③①④② 63. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?　 　 A. It should be done by historians. B. It was a task of inventing and recording. C. It was long﹣time hard work. D. It had to use the law﹣making rules. 64. Which sentence is the best for " 　 　" in Paragraph 2? A. When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word. B. There are many types of cards, such as paper﹣based cards and electronic cards. C. However, if dictionary writers use them in a wrong way, the cards can't help them. D. Cards as tools can help the learners to develop their language skills. 65. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication? 　 　 A. Be open to the new uses of words. B. Follow the dictionary strictly. C. Use online dictionaries instead. D. Try to create new words. 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每空一词，每题1分，计10分） 66. You can pay a visit to Nanjing Museum ___________ (除了) Monday. 67.

I wanted to be sure that the Turkish captain wasn’t following us. When I thought we were safe, I sailed the boat towards the shore. It was early evening. The wild animals weren’t there in the morning, so Xury went to look for some water. He came back with water and a small animal for us to eat. While he was cooking our dinner, I started to think about the long journey in front of us. I know that we needed to travel south towards the Cape Verde islands. They weren’t far from the coast. We sailed for many days. Once we saw some people on the shore. They didn’t have any guns, but I was too afraid to leave the boat and talk to them. I made a sign to show them that we were hungry and thirsty. They understood and left some water and food for us on the beach. I was sorry that I didn’t have anything to give them. But very soon I had a chance to thank them. While we were preparing to leave, two large leopards(豹) ran out of the trees and into the water. I quickly loaded my gun and shot one of them. We continued sailing south along the coast. We saw a lot of wild animals, but we didn’t see any more people. Finally one morning Xury shouted excitedly, “A sail, master!” It was a Portuguese ship, but it was very far away. It couldn’t see us. Then I remembered my gun. It made a lot of smoke when I fired it. I loaded it and ...BANG! Xury and I watched and waited. After several minutes the ship slowly started to turn around and come towards us. The sailors pulled us on board. They only spoke Portuguese, but luckily there was a man from Scotland on the ship. With his help, I discovered that we were going to Brazil. We arrived in Brazil three week later. “Thank you for bringing us here.” I thanked the Portuguese captain. —Taken from Robinson Crusoe 76. Who wanted to catch Robinson and Xury? 77. According to the passage, which direction do you think Robinson was sailing? 78. How did Robinson help the people on the shore? 79. Why did Robinson think the Portuguese captain was a nice man? 80.
