B An Art Class When Kelly was twelve,she started taking classes at Miss Grace's School for Art.She didn't ike it at first:the "novice artists"-the kids who hadn't really done art before-worked nostly with clay,and Kelly was a terrible sculptor(雕塑家). It wasn't until her third year that Kelly found something she was really good at-charcoal irawing ()She loved watching the lines spread unevenly across the page as she moved the oits of charcoal back and forth over the paper. One day,Sophia,the best artist in her class,sat down and set up her easel (next to Kelly.Kelly felt a sinking feeling in her stomach.She'd actually found an art form that she enjoyed-and was good at-and now Sophia was going to outshine her again?Kelly fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room. "Hello class,"Miss Grace said."We'll continue to work on the project today." What masterpiece would Sophia have come up with? Kelly looked at Sophia's easel and she couldn't believe it-it was a mess!For a brief moment,Kelly couldn't actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia's.But then she looked at Sophia,who was watching Kelly with an anxious expression. "I...I couldn't decide what to do,"Sophia said."And you're so good.Sometimes I feel like my stuff is just so bad in comparison." Kelly looked to see if Sophia was joking,but she seemed completely serious.Now Kelly was shocked."I'm not talented...Miss Grace seldom praises me.You're the best one in our class!" Sophia raised her eyebrows."I might be a really good copier of the stuff,but I have no idea what to do when it comes to making up my own images.You are so great at making new things out of the old stuff.I've loved your works." "I've loved yours,too,"Kelly said. “Well,definitely not this one,”Sophia said. Kelly smiled."Maybe not right now.But if you move these lines up..."she said,pointing her finger on Sophia's paper. Sophia was quiet for a moment"That's a great idea!"she said finally. Kelly smiled and turned back to her drawing,looking every so often at Sophia's work to see that she was taking her advice,down to the last line. 25.When Kelly started classes at the art school,she A.was often pushed by Miss Grace B.lackea contidence in drawing C.was not good at the course D.did not get along with the other kids 26.What did Kelly do in the art class?

C It Is Never Too Early to Think--and Communicate--like a Scientist Who is a scientist and what is his job?A chemist doing experiments?A geologist out studying rocks?When most people think about science,they imagine characters making discoveries or finding cures()for new diseases.However,these leave out an extremely important part of the scientific process:communicating--sharing the results of that work. Imagine if someone discovered something important about a disease.Other scientists need to understand the work well enough to use these new developments to make even more discoveries in the future.The public,too,needs to understand how these discoveries might influence their lives.But none of this will be possible if the work is not shared.Being a scientist goes far beyond the moment of discovery. Without clear communication,scientists would not be able to use the work that has already been done.So how do scientists tell others about the work that they have done?How do they make sure that everything that they share is as clear and correct as possible? Researchers publish their work in scientific joumnals().These journals can be read by other researchers around the world.It is very important for these journals,and for the scientists who read them,to make sure that the research included is as correct as possible.In order to do that,articles given to scientific joumals before publication first go through a process called peer review.Other scientists who do research in areas related to the work in an article are asked to read through it.Scientists also provide feedback to the writers.They bring up new questions the writer may not have considered,recognize limitations to the results being described,and also make sure that no mistakes were made during the process. Frontiers for Young Minds is a scientific joumal written for-and reviewed by young people.All of the articles in it are based on works already published in a peer reviewed scientific joumal.However,while scientists are good at making sure that articles are understandable for other scientists,there are no better experts to make sure that something can be understood by young people than the young people themselves--By working together with an expert,young reviewers read the article to see if any part of the article is hard to understand,make it clear why the experiment was done in the way it was done,and check whether the figures()clearly explain the point of the article. Basically,these young reviewers learn to think like scientists.It is never too early to start! Ask questions,leam new things,and don't forget the importance of communicating your findings. 28.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A.What is required to be a good scientist. B.Who should understand a scientist's job. C.Why sharing the results of scientific work is important. D.How scientists make sure their work is clear and correct. 29.From the passage we can know that A.scientists are good at working together with others B.young people usually enjoy reading scientific journals C in peer review,other scientists bring up questions to readers D.young reviewers help make articles in Frontiers for Young Minds more readable 30.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage? A.To introduce how scientists do their jobs. B.To offer practical advice on how to ask scientific questions. C.To explain the effects of peer review on scientific journals. D.To encourage young people to think and excommunicate like scientists. D We've all experienced failure.Whether we like it or not.failure is part of life.How people respond to it is of great importance both to their decisions and achievements.Some are likely to have such expectations:"If I should reach that goal,how happy would I feel?"In a recent study. we wanted to understand how such expectations may change in the face of failure.Are people able to predict their own happiness? The old saying"the grass is always greener on the other side"suggests that people spend much of their time longing for things they can't have.In other words,the harder it is to achieve, the higher the valuation.But is this a good model for how ordinary people process failure? According to the story The Fox and the Grapes,failure often leads us to drop our initial ( lan.In the story,the fox jumps with all his strength,yet he fails to reach the grapes.Finally,he walks away,concluding that the grapes were sour()anyway. So,which is it:greener grass or sour grapes?We did an experiment to determine how people react to failure. In the study,about I,200 participants(参加者)received either good or poor feedback(反馈) on the practice trial of a test.Half of them were told that they had performed in the bottom 20 percent,while the other half,in the top 20 percent.They were then asked to predict how they would feel if they earned a high score on the actual test. The research results showed that those who received poor feedback on the practice trial predicted that they would feel less happiness and less pride,compared to those who received strong feedback.However,when they received a top score on the actual test later,they were just as happy as the other half,and much happier than they had predicted before.This suggests that the initial failure made people undervalue how good it would feel to succeed in the future. The question though,is why failure makes us downplay our future happiness.According to Professor Jon Elster,people don't always know what they want,and often change their wishes to match what appears within reach.When the outcome doesn't fit the one they have of themselves, they protect themselves by devaluing the goal-rather than devaluing self.In other words,when personal failure happens,one way of protecting our positive()sense of self is to refuse to accept the emotional importance of future achievements. Detachment()from personal goals can be useful,if it helps people redirect their attention from the impossible to better and more achievable goals.However,if the sour-grape effect kicks in too early and people become fearful of failure,they could miss out on the chance to try again and realize that what once seemed impossible is now within reach. 31.What does the story The Fox and the Grapes suggest? A.The outcome valuation depends on what goal is set. B.Difficulties result in a higher achievement expectation. C.Past performance doesn't help predict future happiness. D.Initial failure makes future success appear less attractive. 32.The word "downplay"in Paragraph 6 probably means" A.undervalue B.better understand C.destroy D discover 33.What do we know from the passage? A.The participants cared more about strong feedback. B.The happier people are those who predict less happiness. C.The participants'performance failed to match their abilities. D.People devalue the goal to keep a positive view of themselves. 34.What is the writer trying to tell us? A.Failure is the mother of success. B.Detachment stops people from changing wishes. C.The seemingly impossible is worth trying sometimes D.The sour-grape effect pushes us to keep moving forward. E Humans have long gained pleasure from the smells of the natural world.For the most part, though,human beings are not their target market.For plants,fragrances are a way to interact with insects and other animals.Their attraction for people happens simply by chance. In chemical terms,most natural fragrances are made up of volatiles-so called because of their tendency to change states suddenly.Volatiles evaporate easily,drifting into noses.In plants' reproductive processes,,smelly volatiles attract pollinators（授粉昆虫).But their natural applications are much more varied.If an insect chews through the leaves of some Bursera plants, out shoots a sticky,smelly liquid to trap it.Coyote tobacco plants are even more crafty:upon sensing the smell of hungry caterpillars,they produce volatiles that attract predators to kill the pests. What is truly amazing is just how wily plants can be in using their scents for reproduction. White flowers often emit their scent at night to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths.They produce a dilute nectar(稀释的花蜜)that encourages moths to keep moving,.rather than linger at a single bloom-all the better to increase pollination.Other flowers change their fragrance after being successfully pollinated,as a signal for insects to go elsewhere. But though"Scent"is a story of plants'cleverness,it is also a tale of the human kind.People have long used fragrances for their own purposes,particularly for use in religious ceremonies: perfume recipes on the walls of an Egyptian temple in Edfu demonstrate just how long ingredients have been mixed in pursuit of the best blend.So highly prized were some scents that, to scare off competitors,Arab traders spread a legend about giant eagles that guarded cinnamon. Eventually scientists no longer needed natural sources for fragrances.In 1866 a fragrance molecule was produced for the first time.Sixteen years later,Houbigant Parfum released Fougere Royale,the first "modern fantasy perfume"that creates an imaginary scent rather than copying a natural one.Nowadays fragrance-making is dominated by man-made compounds, which can be reliably and affordably produced in large quantities. That has led to the mass production of smelly products,from toilet paper to toothpaste.Scent is accordingly big business.It is said that a world-famous fragrance and flavour manufacturer that claims people interact with its products up to 30 times a day,had sales of 3.8bn last year. 35.According to Paragraph I and 2,which would the author agree with? A.Some plants might kill the pests with their smells. B.Fragrance is a tool for plants to protect themselves. C.People interact with nature easily through fragrance. D.Fragrances are less important to humans than to animals and insects. 36.What does the underlined word"prized"in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A.Developed. B.Rewarded. C.Mixed. D.Valued. 37.What can we learn from the passage? A.Humans do not use fragrances as purposefully as plants do. B.Natural sources for fragrances will be out of date in the future. C.Plants use fragrances to both attract and send away pollinators. D.Man-made fragrances have to be produced by copying natural ones. 38.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Plants Smell,Insects Prey B.Smartness behind Fragrance C.Fragrance:To Make or Not to Make D.Fragrance Connects Human Nature 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（前3题每题2分，第4题4分，共10分） Doctors in Bristol can send patients on a free course from this month,which uses stand-up comedy to help patients who are fighting with trauma().The course was pioneered by a comedian,Angie Belcher. It's believed that comedy is in every one of us,and we are all bomn comedians.Every night we come home from work and tell our family what our days were like,but on the way home we'll work on the details,and try to make our stories funnier to amuse our families.According to Angie Belcher,professional comedy education is to give people the tools to make the stories better..The course is a combination of psychology(心理学)，comedy and storytelling and it will last six weeks. In fact,past traumas are perfect for comedy.Comedy doesn't come from the happy,perfect moments of our lives,but from our everyday life events.People who've been through big life experiences,such as the death of a close friend and poor health,often can't wait to share their stories,mostly because there's always something strangely funny about the situation.Experts say that we can accept and honor the comedy of a situation,as much as the sadness of it.It's a short period of rest from something unpleasant. Angie,who has a master's degree in psychology,says the course is for anyone who is ready to explore their trauma through comedy.It can be taken by people in recovery from mental health problems and people who've had trauma.There's lots of one-to-one help in the room too. The comedians give people a hand to write their comedy and explore some dark times from their history. While the course can't take the place of medical treatment,talking about our trauma in a funny way indeed helps.Comedy can help to build community.When we bring our stories alive for others,it makes other people feel less alone.Having our experiences mirrored back to us is hugely comforting. 39.Who pioneered the free course? 40.How long will the course last? 41.Where does comedy come from according to the passage? 42.Your friend Peter is now going through a trauma.Would you like to advise him to take the course mentioned in the passage?Why or why not? 五、文段表达(10分) 43.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。 文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 假如你是李华，你校英语公众号将推出以“科技”为主题的系列推送。请你用英文给 公众号留言，介绍一个你认为最实用的设备(device)或应用程序(app),并描述它给生活 带来的便利。 提示词语：technology,communicate,leam,convenient,.time-saving 提示问题： ● What device or app do you want to introduce?
