1. Which of the following might interest a teen enthusiastic about cooking?
A. Camp Chief Ouray. B. Sur La Table 5-Day Teen Series.
C. Mountain Adventure Tours (M. A. T.). D. ID Tech Camp.
2. What do Camp Chief Ouray and Mountain Adventure Tours have in common?
A. They have a long history. B. They offer art experience.
C. They have themed camps. D. They provide outdoor activities.
3. Where is the text most probably from?

B
Having role models in life is important. Michael Jordan changed the game of basketball forever and many of the stars of the game had his poster in their bedroom growing up. Of course, there are negative role models as well that do not set the right example for us. Yet new research has now suggested that even the positive role models include good and bad ones.
There was one child who had posters of Thomas Edison on his wall and one child with posters of Albert Einstein on his wall. If everything else was equal in their life, who would do better? A new study appears to suggest that Edison is a better role model.
While Einstein may attract someone to the field of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), they struggle to stay in that field. This is because once things get tough they will look inward and decide that they don’t have the talent that Albert Einstein had and are just not cut out for a career in STEM.
What Thomas Edison did have was an unbelievable attitude. He worked extremely hard on his projects. He famously failed 10,000 times before finding a way to make the light bulb work. To this, he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The hard work of Edison had paid off and those who read the story believed it was worth giving a challenge a try, so they may not give up so easily.
Today in STEM there is a huge issue in getting people to complete degrees. It has one of the highest rates of dropout due to the level of difficulty in the courses. Governments who invest (投资) millions in their STEM universities as they want the best and brightest minds of tomorrow have a huge concern about it. It now appears that by using proper motivators (激励因素), many more may be willing to stick it out.
4. How are people affected by Thomas Edison as a role model?
A They will deal with their struggles through hard work.
B. They will doubt themselves when facing difficulties.
C. They will be more encouraged to make inventions.
D. They will perhaps become interested in STEM.
5 What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A There are few good role models for students.
B. STEM courses are too difficult for students.
C. Too many students give up STEM courses.
D. Much money is needed for STEM universities.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Good and bad role models
B. The power of famous people
C. Courses in STEM: easy or difficult?
D. Who worked hard: Einstein or Edison?

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with my brother and me. We were just six and five years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license so he had to walk down the big hill to take us to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing us. On a very cold snowy morning,when we went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats?”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride?”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.

Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了生活中拥有榜样很重要,但即使是正面榜样也有好坏之分,并以托马斯·爱迪生和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为例,说明了爱迪生作为榜样更能激励人们在面对困难时通过努力克服,同时指出在STEM领域存在学生辍学率高的问题,而合适的激励因素可能有助于更多人坚持下去。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“What Thomas Edison did have was an unbelievable attitude. He worked extremely hard on his projects. He famously failed 10,000 times before finding a way to make the light bulb work. To this, he said, ‘I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.’ The hard work of Edison had paid off and those who read the story believed it was worth giving a challenge a try, so they may not give up so easily. (托马斯·爱迪生所拥有的是一种令人难以置信的态度。他在自己的项目上非常努力。他著名的经历是在找到让灯泡发光的方法之前失败了10000次。对此,他说:‘我没有失败。我只是找到了10000种行不通的方法。’爱迪生的努力得到了回报,那些读过这个故事的人相信值得尝试挑战,所以他们可能不会那么轻易放弃)”可知,爱迪生面对困难时有着坚持不懈、努力克服的态度,那些以他为榜样的人会受到他这种精神的影响,在面对困难时通过努力去应对,而不是轻易放弃或怀疑自己。由此可知,人们受托马斯·爱迪生作为榜样的影响是通过努力工作来应对他们的困难。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Today in STEM there is a huge issue in getting people to complete degrees. It has one of the highest rates of dropout due to the level of difficulty in the courses. Governments who invest (投资) millions in their STEM universities as they want the best and brightest minds of tomorrow have a huge concern about it. (如今,在STEM领域,让人们完成学业是一个巨大的问题。由于课程的难度,STEM领域的辍学率是最高的之一。政府在STEM大学投资数百万美元,因为他们想要培养明天最优秀、最聪明的人才,他们对这个问题非常关注)”可知,在STEM领域,人们完成学业是一个大问题,由于课程难度大,辍学率很高,政府对此非常关注;it指代的前文“highest rates of dropout due to the level of difficulty in the courses”,即“太多学生放弃STEM课程”这一现象。故选C。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Having role models in life is important. Michael Jordan changed the game of basketball forever and many of the stars of the game had his poster in their bedroom growing up. Of course, there are negative role models as well that do not set the right example for us. Yet new research has now suggested that even the positive role models include good and bad ones. (在生活中有榜样是很重要的。迈克尔·乔丹永远改变了篮球比赛,许多篮球明星在成长过程中都在卧室里贴着他的海报。当然,也有负面的榜样,他们没有为我们树立正确的榜样。然而,新的研究表明,即使是正面的榜样也有好的和坏的)”以及下文内容可知,文章主要讨论了生活中拥有榜样很重要,但即使是正面榜样也有好坏之分,并以托马斯·爱迪生和阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为例进行说明,同时指出在STEM领域存在学生辍学率高的问题,而合适的激励因素可能有助于更多人坚持下去。由此可知,A项“好榜样和坏榜样”适合作为本文标题。故选A。

三、书面表达:共25分

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with my brother and me. We were just six and five years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license so he had to walk down the big hill to take us to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing us. On a very cold snowy morning,when we went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats?”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride?”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Hearing that, my dad nodded eagerly. Valerie opened her car door, and her son John grinned, shouting, “Quick! It’s warm here!” He shoved half a cookie into my brother’s hand. We squeezed into the backseat, giggling as John pretended to be a grumpy teacher. “Drink this!” Valerie said, passing us hot chocolate. Dad walked beside the car, smiling when John yelled, “We’ll build a giant snowman after school!” That afternoon, Valerie brought coats from her neighbors. “Take them,” she insisted. “Winter here is tough, but we stick together.”
Valerie’s family soon felt like ours. John dragged us outside daily, teaching us to sled on cardboard. At dinners, he stole Mom’s samosas, whispering, “Better than veggies!” When Dad got his driver’s license, John taped a silly “NEW DRIVER” sign to our car. Years later, visiting Kansas, John laughed, “Remember your frozen socks?” They didn’t just give us coats — they gave us laughter and friendship. Now, snow reminds me of them. Home isn’t just a place; it’s the people who warm your heart.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者父母和其他印度移民一起从印度来到美国,冬天的时候,天气很冷,作者家没有车和厚衣服。父亲每天都要走下山送哥哥姐姐上学,然后再走上山上大学。后来一个名叫Valerie的女人注意到了作者一家的境遇,于是主动让他们搭便车,两家人也因此成了好朋友。
