But I want to share with you the story that shaped our family’s legacy (遗产) —a tale of gratitude that echoed (流传) through generations. It was 1955, and I was just a young girl of 12. Times were hard, and our family struggled to make ends meet. One particularly hard winter, we had nothing left but a few potatoes and a little candle. That’s when a knock on the door changed everything. Mrs. Thompson, our neighbor, stood there with a basket full of food. “I’m thankful for good neighbors,” she said simply, pressing the basket into my mother’s hands before hurrying away. That night, as we enjoyed our unexpected meal, my father declared, “When we have enough, we must remember this kindness and pass it on.” Years passed, and our fortunes improved. True to his word, my father always found ways to help others, saying it was an echo of Mrs. Thompson’ s kindness. I watched as he slipped groceries onto the porches (门廊) of struggling families, secretly paid for children’s school supplies, and volunteered at the local shelter. One day while volunteering, he met a young man named Jack —your grandfather. Jack had fallen on hard times but was determined to turn his life around. My father took him under his wing, helping him find a job and a place to live. Jack, filled with gratitude, threw himself into his work and studies. He often said, “I’m just echoing the kindness shown to me.” It was his gratitude and determination that first drew me to him. As our family grew, your grandfather and I made sure to keep the echo alive. We taught your mother, and her siblings, the importance of being thankful and paying kindness forward. Now, my dear Emma, I pass this story to you. Our family’s echo of thankfulness has touched countless lives over the years. Some we know about, like the scholarship fund your mother started, but many more we’ ll never know. Remember, gratitude is not just a feeling —it’s an action. It has the power to create ripples(涟漪) that turn into waves, touching lives far beyond our own. With all my love, Grandma 41. How did the family feel about Mrs. Thompson’s action? A. Puzzled. B. Surprised. C. Grateful. D. Skeptical. 42. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The way Grandma helped others. B. Grandma watched her father helping others. C. Over the years, my family’s life has greatly improved. D. Mrs. Thompson’s kindness had a profound effect on Grandma’s father. 43. By saying “It was his gratitude and determination that first drew me to him.” in Paragraph 4, grandma means ________. A. she fell in love with Jack B. Jack was a determined person C. Jack helped her with her work and studies D. She could feel Jack’s gratitude and determination. 44. Grandma wrote this letter was to ________. A. recall her life B. point out the importance of being thankful C. tell Emma the history of the family D. pass on a family tradition of echoing the kindness 45. What message does the letter convey? A How the family legacy is formed. B. People should learn to be grateful and echo the kindness. C. Mrs. Thompson’s kindness saved the family. D. When life is rich, we must remember the difficulties. C The baby monkey is much more developed at birth than the human baby. During the first few days of its life the baby monkey will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment, particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so, however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”— the real mother or the mother-substitute (替代物). During the first two weeks, warmth is perhaps the most important psychological (心理的) thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice of two types of mother-substitutes — one covered with cloth and one made of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Something that the Harlows called contact comfort seems to be the answer. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’ skins. Wire doesn’t “rub” as well as soft cloth does. Prolonged (长时间的) “contact comfort” with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than either warmth or milk. According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding on to its “mother.” 46. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life? A. Warmth B. Milk C. Contact D. Trust 47. After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth mother to the wire mother because the former is ________. A. larger in size B. closer to them C. less frightening and less disturbing D. more comfortable to rub against 48. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged “contact comfort”? A. Attention B. Softness C. Confidence D. Interest 49. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure, ________. A it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toys B. it spends more time screaming to get rewards C. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interesting D. it cares less about whether its mother is still around 50. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. give the reasons of the experiment B. present the findings of the experiment C. introduce the method of the experiment D. describe the process of the experiment D Nowadays, it is more common for people to express their thoughts in an e-mail or text. In fact, more and more students use technology for written communication in their lives. Even so, research shows that teaching handwriting skills has its benefits. However, are the benefits worth spending valuable classroom time in teaching handwriting skills when students could be learning more about computer keyboarding? States across the country have good reasons to require students to learn computer keyboarding skills. For one, students are learning technology that will help them communicate faster with more people and in many different forms, such as e-mails, websites, blogs, and so on. Also the better a student’s computer keyboarding skills, the greater the chance that a student has to become a better writer. Computer tools such as the grammar and spell check make correcting quick and easy, although not 100％ accurate(准确的). With these and many other tools，students gain important computer skills. Furthermore, students no longer have to worry about their writing being graded poorly by teachers. All in all, computer keyboarding skills are a step in the right direction. Still, the advantages of computer keyboarding skills may not be enough to leave handwriting instruction in the dust. Marlena Hamilton, professor of neurology at University of Pennsylvania, did an experiment with her co-workers to study what happens in students’ brains when writing. They found that many of the areas of the brain light up. These are the same areas that are used to learn to read. They then wondered if the same would be true when students looked at letters on a keyboard. “What we found, “she states, “is that brains are much less involved when we just look at letters. When we actually use our hands to make things, the brain works much harder.” Schools across the nation are looking at the evidence and deciding what to do. William McIntyre, a reading coach at Sunshine Elementary School in Albany, New York, says, “What we have learned from the research is that learning handwriting benefits students educationally. What we also know is that students need to be taught keyboarding skills. Now, it is up to each school to make a decision. 51. From the first paragraph, we can know that _______. A. students don't want to learn handwriting skills any more. B. students don't like communicating with friends in person. C. students’ communicating by technology is more and more common. D. students spend more time in playing computer games than before. 52. What does the second paragraph mainly want to show? A. The roles of computer tools. B. The advantages of computer keyboarding skills. C. The importance of communication skills. D. The necessity of developing writing skills. 53. What's the author's attitude to students’ learning keyboarding skills? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Uncaring. D. Supportive. 54. What can the result of Hamilton’s experiment show? A. Keyboarding skills are very useful. B. Handwriting is helpful for students to learn. C. Keyboarding makes our brain more active. D. Handwriting is more difficult than keyboarding. 55. What kind of decision does the author refer to in the last paragraph? A. Whether schools should offer computer classes. B. Whether schools should still teach handwriting. C. Whether students should learn keyboarding skills. D. Whether students should use the grammar and spell check. 第五部分：选词填空15% 选词填空 focus attached fascinated proof broadcast desire currently Advance account failure capable broad approach confirmed 56.

We all feel excited about it. After all, after two months’ study, we are all very tired. First, I will go for a picnic with my classmates. The weather in July is always very fine. I’m sure we’ll have great fun and relax ourselves a lot. Second, I will reflect on my study in the last two months to find my shortcomings. Then, I will set a new goal and improve my studying method in order to make greater progress in the near future. The third thing I want to do is to learn some English, because my English is not very good. But I know it is very important if I’m to succeed. Of course, I am also going to help my mother do some housework. I am looking forward to enjoying my life in the holiday. I believe it can be very wonderful. Would you like to share your summer holiday plan with me? Looking forward to your reply. Yours’ Li Jin 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
