Natalie Doan, a teenager in America, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, the ocean turned extremely terrible. That night, Hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. The next day, Natalie and her family found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and people were having the most difficult time, especially the elderly.
To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped (困住) in powerless high buildings. Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick got a new collection. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed things to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. She was later invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the streets are clear and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie says, “Because of everyone’s efforts in making a better home, Rockaway will be even stronger than before.”

32. The phrase “in ruins” Paragraph 2 means the neighborhood was ________.

【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 34. A 35. A

You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? March 14 is International Day of Math. Teenagers interviewed Li Xing, a math professor (教授) at NingXia University. We asked if math can be beautiful and fun. Here’s what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length (长度) from your head to your belly button (肚脐) 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 (黄金比例), which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems (诗歌), we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day (千里江陵一日还)”, “My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away (轻舟已过万重山)”. “A thousand miles in one day”, “ten thousand mountains”—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Numbers give us freedom (自由) to imagine.
Formulas (公式) are beautiful
There are many amazing formulas. For example, in a right-angled triangle (直角三角形), the square (平方) of the longest side is equal (等于) to the sum (和) of the squares of the other two sides. How neat (简洁的)! Just as the Chinese-American mathematician (数学家) Shiing-shen Chern said, “Math is fun!”
36. How much is the golden ratio?
A. 0.618. B. 0.681. C. 6.18. D. 0.168.
37. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________.
A. it has a golden color B. it will look like a human body
C. it is as long as a person’s leg D. it can bring us a sense (感觉) of beauty
38. Why does the writer mention Li Bai’s poem in the passage?
A. To tell Li Bai is good at math. B. To tell us Li Bai loved travelling fast.
C. To show the beauty of numbers in poems. D. To show Li Bai is a good poet.
39. Which formula did the underlined sentence describe in the last paragraph?
A. a2-b2=(a+b)(a-b) B. a2+b2=c2
C. (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2 D. (a-b)2=a2-2ab+b2
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Math is hard and important. B. The life of a math professor.
C. Math is beautiful and fun. D. The International Day of Math.
【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. B 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,通过数学教授李星的访谈,从黄金比例、诗歌中的数字美和公式简洁性三个方面,阐述了数学的趣味性与美学价值。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The ratio of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio...”可知,黄金比例的数值为0.618。故选A。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据小标题“Numbers are beautiful”和根据第二段“The ratio of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio...”可知,0.618是黄金比例,这个比例富有美感,由此可推知拥有黄金比例的事物能带来美感。故选D。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In Chinese poems…we can also see the beauty of numbers”及后文对李白诗句中数字的赏析,说明引用目的是展示数字在诗歌中的美感。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后段划线句“in a right-angled triangle…the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides”可知,直角三角形斜边平方等于两直角边平方和,对应a²+b²=c²。故选B。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。全文通过黄金比例(美)、诗歌数字(趣味)和公式简洁性(fun)多角度说明数学的趣味与美学,末段直接引用数学家陈省身观点“Math is fun!”点题。故选C。
四、信息还原(每题2分,共10分)

Four habits to live a happier life
Having a happier life is something we all always struggle (争取) for, and being happy includes so many aspects—mental, physical (身体的) and spiritual (精神的) — of our lives. One of the key principles (原则) of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. ____41____
Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.
Praise others.
Be kind to others, like praising them. ____42____ Don’t be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome (令人惊叹的) their smile is. It’ll do them good, and do you good too!
Focus on the present moment.
Take some time every day to focus on the present moment. ____43____ Try not to think about negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You’ll soon find that even the slightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.
Learn to control your emotions (情感).
____44____ And it’s definitely (明确地) not worth the emotions. Don’t compromise (违背) on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight (战斗). Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.

Most children love to get dirty. Gardening is a good reason to let them touch the soft earth and enjoy the sunshine outside. It can make them stronger.
Gardening can make children learn about their favorite plants at an early age. It helps them know where their food comes from. Children can also understand why it’s important not to waste food.

Children always have questions. Gardening can help them develop their curiosity (好奇心). A few minutes in a garden, kids will start asking questions. Feel free to let them guide the conversation. Make sure to take the chance to learn together about anything you can’t answer.

Natalie Doan, a teenager in America, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.
On October 29, 2012, the ocean turned extremely terrible. That night, Hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. The next day, Natalie and her family found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and people were having the most difficult time, especially the elderly.
To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped (困住) in powerless high buildings. Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something.
“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick got a new collection. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed things to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. She was later invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the streets are clear and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie says, “Because of everyone’s efforts in making a better home, Rockaway will be even stronger than before.”
31. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found ________.
A. some friends had lost their lives B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn D. the elderly were free from suffering
32. The phrase “in ruins” Paragraph 2 means the neighborhood was ________.
A. clean and tidy B. in a mess
C. just the same as usual D. even better than before
33. How did Natalie help the people in need?
A. She gave her toys to other kids. B. She took care of younger children.
C. She called on the White House to help. D. She built an information sharing website.
34. According to Paragraph 3, who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild.
B. The people trapped in high-rise buildings.
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors.
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.

You may feel that math is hard and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? March 14 is International Day of Math. Teenagers interviewed Li Xing, a math professor (教授) at NingXia University. We asked if math can be beautiful and fun. Here’s what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. But there is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (测量) the length (长度) from your head to your belly button (肚脐) 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 (黄金比例), which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems (诗歌), we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day (千里江陵一日还)”, “My skiff has left ten thousand mountains far away (轻舟已过万重山)”. “A thousand miles in one day”, “ten thousand mountains”—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
