一、语法选择
The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, and 16 bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things that we do for 17 , we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway. This bottle 18 filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals for family members. Those bottles are very important. 19 we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.
However, we often forget 20 the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle. This is 21 bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. 22 your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? 23 doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know it, it is time for bed. We 24 have days like that.
This is 25 each day we have to make an effort to fill our Happiness Bottle. Most days, I fill 26 by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes 27 than when I enter. This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle was filled to top.
The challenge for each of us is to not let the day 28 by without filling our Happiness Bottle. Many of us probably need to put happiness activities into our plan. Think about 29 your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time? At the end of the day, 30 we’ve done all we can to make sure that our Happiness Bottle is filled.

Do you know Tower of Hanoi? It is a maths game which has been popular for centuries. To solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle, it needs your brain, eyes and hands to work together.
Tower of Hanoi is made up of three poles and a stack of discs(圆盘). The discs should be placed from the largest on the bottom to the smallest on the top. The way to play the game is to move the whole stack from Pole A to Pole C. There are three simple rules as follows:
◆ Only one disc can be moved at a time.
◆ You can only move the top disc of a stack.
◆ Each disc can be placed on any pole, but it can’t be placed on top of a smaller disc.
Tower of Hanoi was invented by a mathematician Frenchman called Edouard Lucas in 1883. His idea came from an ancient story: In an eastern temple with three huge poles, the god asked the priests (牧师) to move a stack of 64 golden discs from Pole One to Pole Three. Edouard found the maths problem in the story interesting and tried to work out the minimum (最小的) number of moves to solve the puzzle. Finally, he came up with the formula (公式): 2n-1, where “n” is the number of discs. According to the formula, even if the priests made one move every second, it would take 500 billion years to finish. It was an impossible task for them.
Nowadays, Tower of Hanoi is used in many fields, such as the psychological research and computer science. It has made great contributions to human’s life.
So next time you’re looking for a fun and challenging puzzle game, give Tower of Hanoi a try!

Xian Xinghai is a very famous musician in China. He has written many great pieces of music. In his short life, he wrote nearly 300 songs and an opera.
Xian was born in Panyu, Guangzhou in 1905. Because his father died before he was born, Xian had to move from place to place with his mother. He began learning to play the violin when he was 20 years old. At first, his violin was so cheap and in a poor quality that he could not play it well. His friends laughed at him. However, Xian did not stop practicing and soon showed his talent. In 1931, he became the first Chinese student who studied in a special music school in Paris.

In 1935, he got back to China and helped fight against the Japanese army. Later, he came to Yan’an to teach music at a college. Although there were no pianos in Yan’an at that time, Xian still wrote some of his most important music there, including The Yellow River Chorus, his most famous work.
In May 1940, Xian Xinghai went to the Soviet Union (苏联) to write music for movies. Life there was so hard that he got very sick. Later he died of a lung illness on October 30, 1945, aged only 40.

You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I complete agree with what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
Curves (曲线) are beautiful
“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”.
Formulas (公式) are beautiful
There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, “Math is fun!”
34. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________.
A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies
C. it looks like a human body D. it might bring people a sense of beauty
35. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion.
C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math.
36. What does a tangent curve look like?
A. B. C. D.
37. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why math is beautiful and fun. B. Why math is difficult and boring.
C. How we can learn math in a right way. D. How math helps us live a better life.
D

第二节、阅读填空(5分)
Have you ever heard the old saying, “You don’t really understand something unless you can teach it to someone else.” 41
Why it’s so useful
When children teach something to someone else, they also need to answer questions other people might have. 42
Test out the “learning by teaching” at home
You don’t need to be an expert to support your children with their learning. 43 Let them take the lead. Start by simply asking questions. If they get into trouble, encourage them to use their notes or online lessons from their teachers.
44
If you want to help your children practice telling ideas, have them create online lessons. They can practice many of the other skills, like introducing the big ideas and providing examples. To get started, you can review them together.
Ask your children’s teachers for support
For more powerful “learning by teaching” at home, make sure to connect with your children’s teachers. And ask them to provide information to best support your children’s progress. Your children’s teachers can share the learning aims with you. 45 Besides, they can send ideas of home activities to encourage your children to play the role of “teacher”.
A. Learning science shows that’s true.
B. Have your children create online lessons.
C. It helps children build long-term understanding of the knowledge.
D. And they can provide you with questions to check your children’s learning.
E. Instead, have your children teach you something they are learning in class.

The way we spend our time can be divided into three “bottles”. These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.
Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, and 16 bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks.

However, we often forget 20 the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle.

This week, I had the pleasure of taking part in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle was filled to top.
The challenge for each of us is to not let the day 28 by without filling our Happiness Bottle. Many of us probably need to put happiness activities into our plan. Think about 29 your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time?

pay付款,动词原形;paid付款,动词过去式;paying付款,动名词形式;pays付款,动词三单形式。根据“…useful things, like making money, doing housework, and…”可知,此处表示“赚钱,做家务和支付账单”,为并列关系,也应用其动名词形式作宾语。故选C。
17. 句意:这些都是我们为别人做的事情,我们可能不喜欢,但我们还是做了。
others其他的(人或物),泛指其他的人或物;another另一个的;the others其他的(人或物),特指某一范围内剩下的全部人或物。other其他的,常接名词复数形式。根据“with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals for family members”及语境可知,此处应指任务瓶是为“其他人”做事,应用others表泛指。故选A。
18. 句意:这个瓶子里装满了各种任务,比如带孩子参加活动,为家庭成员做饭。
gets变得,动词原形;will get将变得,用于一般将来时;got变得,过去式;getting变得,现在分词形式。根据“This bottle…filled with tasks”可知,此处指这个任务瓶“装满了”各种任务,“get filled with sth.”表示“充满某物”,且全文时态为一般现在时,主语“This bottle”为第三人称单数形式,应用其对应的动词三单形式作谓语。故选A。
19. 句意:如果我们每天不填满它们,我们的家庭就无法正常运转。
When当……时候;If如果;Until直到;Unless除非。根据前后句“…we don’t fill them each day”及“our family won’t run properly.”可知,此处指如果我们每天不填满任务瓶的结果是我们的家庭就无法正常运转,描述的是某种条件下的结果,应用if引导条件状语从句。故选B。
20. 句意:然而,我们常常忘记装满第三瓶——幸福瓶。
filling填满,现在分词形式;to fill填满,动词不定式;fills填满,动词三单形式;filled填满,动词过去式。结合语境可知,此处指“忘记去装满第三瓶”,应用其不定式作与之构成动词短语,“forget to do sth.”表示“忘记去做某事”。故选B。

23. 句意:在做所有必要的和自愿的任务之间,时间过得飞快,在我们意识到之前,就该睡觉了。
Between在……之间,常修饰两者或两部分之间;In在……里;Among在……之间,常修饰三者及其以上;On在……上。根据“doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks”可知,此处指做必要的事和自愿的任务这两件事“之间”。故选A。

Do you know Tower of Hanoi? It is a maths game which has been popular for centuries. To solve a Tower of Hanoi puzzle, it needs your brain, eyes and hands to work together.
Tower of Hanoi is made up of three poles and a stack of discs(圆盘). The discs should be placed from the largest on the bottom to the smallest on the top. The way to play the game is to move the whole stack from Pole A to Pole C. There are three simple rules as follows:
◆ Only one disc can be moved at a time.
◆ You can only move the top disc of a stack.
◆ Each disc can be placed on any pole, but it can’t be placed on top of a smaller disc.
Tower of Hanoi was invented by a mathematician Frenchman called Edouard Lucas in 1883. His idea came from an ancient story: In an eastern temple with three huge poles, the god asked the priests (牧师) to move a stack of 64 golden discs from Pole One to Pole Three. Edouard found the maths problem in the story interesting and tried to work out the minimum (最小的) number of moves to solve the puzzle. Finally, he came up with the formula (公式): 2n-1, where “n” is the number of discs. According to the formula, even if the priests made one move every second, it would take 500 billion years to finish. It was an impossible task for them.
Nowadays, Tower of Hanoi is used in many fields, such as the psychological research and computer science. It has made great contributions to human’s life.
So next time you’re looking for a fun and challenging puzzle game, give Tower of Hanoi a try!

Xian Xinghai is a very famous musician in China. He has written many great pieces of music. In his short life, he wrote nearly 300 songs and an opera.
Xian was born in Panyu, Guangzhou in 1905. Because his father died before he was born, Xian had to move from place to place with his mother. He began learning to play the violin when he was 20 years old. At first, his violin was so cheap and in a poor quality that he could not play it well. His friends laughed at him. However, Xian did not stop practicing and soon showed his talent. In 1931, he became the first Chinese student who studied in a special music school in Paris. Before he left, Xian became the school’s best student and won several prizes for his talent.
In 1935, he got back to China and helped fight against the Japanese army. Later, he came to Yan’an to teach music at a college. Although there were no pianos in Yan’an at that time, Xian still wrote some of his most important music there, including The Yellow River Chorus, his most famous work.
In May 1940, Xian Xinghai went to the Soviet Union (苏联) to write music for movies. Life there was so hard that he got very sick. Later he died of a lung illness on October 30, 1945, aged only 40.

You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I complete agree with what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
Curves (曲线) are beautiful
“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”.
Formulas (公式) are beautiful
There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, “Math is fun!”
34. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________.
A. it has a golden color B. it only happens in human bodies
C. it looks like a human body D. it might bring people a sense of beauty
35. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion.
C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math.
36. What does a tangent curve look like?
A. B. C. D.
37. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why math is beautiful and fun. B. Why math is difficult and boring.
C. How we can learn math in a right way. D. How math helps us live a better life.
【答案】34. D 35. B 36. C 37. A
【导语】本文详细介绍了数学中的美感和趣味性,包括数字的美感、曲线的美感和公式的美感,以及通过例子来说明这些美感,使读者能够在新的视角下看到数学的魅力。
34. 推理判断题。根据“There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies...The ratio of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”可知,如果人体的分割比例是0.618,说明这具身体是富有美感的;而在自然、音乐和绘画中,处处可见黄金比例。由此推知,如果一个事物是黄金比例,那么这个事物可以带给我们美感。故选D。
35. 细节理解题。根据“In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote...all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.”可知,作者提到李白的诗歌,是为了展示诗歌中的数字美。故选B。
36. 细节理解题。根据“‘Tangent curve’ is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, ‘dashing down three thousand feet from on high’.”可知,“切线”如瀑布,正如李白所言,“飞流直下三千尺”。结合选项的图形,C选项符合。故选C。

Have you ever heard the old saying, “You don’t really understand something unless you can teach it to someone else.” 41
Why it’s so useful
When children teach something to someone else, they also need to answer questions other people might have. 42
Test out the “learning by teaching” at home
You don’t need to be an expert to support your children with their learning. 43 Let them take the lead. Start by simply asking questions. If they get into trouble, encourage them to use their notes or online lessons from their teachers.
44
If you want to help your children practice telling ideas, have them create online lessons. They can practice many of the other skills, like introducing the big ideas and providing examples. To get started, you can review them together.
Ask your children’s teachers for support
For more powerful “learning by teaching” at home, make sure to connect with your children’s teachers. And ask them to provide information to best support your children’s progress. Your children’s teachers can share the learning aims with you. 45 Besides, they can send ideas of home activities to encourage your children to play the role of “teacher”.
A. Learning science shows that’s true.
B. Have your children create online lessons.
C. It helps children build long-term understanding of the knowledge.
D. And they can provide you with questions to check your children’s learning.

Doing housework
Last week, our class made a survey on doing housework among ourselves. Here are the results.
According to the survey, 40 per cent of our classmates often do some washing such as washing clothes, dishes and vegetables. There are 35 per cent students cleaning the house. They sweep the floor and clean the window. 12 per cent students do some shopping for their families. And about 8 per cent of them do the cooking. However, there're 5 per cent students hardly doing any housework.
I think as a member of the family, it's our responsibility to do housework. We should learn to do some simple housework. Also, it's helpful for us to learn some living skills from it.
