Frequent goodbyes to her family come hand-in-hand with Wang Yaping’s intensive training. This time, however, her goodbye has sparked joy in her 5-year-old daughter’s eyes as she is “shooting for the stars.”
Known for broadcasting a 40-minute live lesson during her first space trip, she is very likely to draw global attention again during her second space mission.
Wang was born in 1980 to a rural family in Shandong Province. “When I was young, my world was small,” Wang recalled. “My dream was much simpler: to go beyond the village and to pay back all that my parents had given me.”
Her space dream started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. “I watched the bright rocket flame on TV, and an idea flashed through my mind: China now has a male taikonaut, when will there be a female one?” Wang said. After racking up safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a strong candidate (候选人) for China’s first flight by a female taikonaut. However, she did not pass her final tests. Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder. She always ran three laps more than others in physical courses; she volunteered to be held to the same standards as her male partners during desert survival training, and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. “You can’t catch a break simply for being a woman,” she said.
Her efforts were not in vain. Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013. And more notably, she earned the title of China’s first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth’s surface.
Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, said Wang’s lesson was like a “brush,” which painted a space world for children that is different from Earth.
4. What do we know about Wang Yaping?
A. She is the first Chinese woman to enter space.
B. She went to space just for a lecture in 2013.
C. She is the first Chinese to give a lesson in space.
D. She dreamed to pay back her hometown as a child.
5. How did Wang Yaping react in the face of failure?
A. She was puzzled about her future for a period.
B. She felt down completely under great pressure.
C. She volunteered for heavier tasks than men.
D. She strengthened herself through hard practice.
6. Which of the following can best describe Wang Yaping according to the text?
A. Learned and generous. B. Wise and cooperative.
C. Honest and ambitious. D. Determined and hard-working.
7. Why does the author mention Liu Cixin in the last paragraph?
A. To compare Wang Yaping with him.
B. To show his opinion on Wang’s space lesson.
C. To explain how Wang became famous.
D. To describe his award-winning novels.
C
Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control. Self-confidence is obtained from skills and competencies, experiences, treatment by others and the nature and frequency(频率) of successes and failures. But, self-confidence is also affected by something as simple as how your kids carry themselves as they go about their daily lives. If kids behave more self-confidently, they feel more self-confident. Here are some direct instructions parents can give their kids to help them make it.
To start with, have your kids stand tall and straight with their shoulders back. This is particularly important for teenage girls. It is not unusual for girls to draw their shoulders inward as a way of avoiding dealing with the changes of their bodies. They will need help balance being confident in their bodies.
Self-confident people stand and walk with their hands out and to the side of the body. Some research has provided evidence that placing your hands on your hips(髋部) results in greater decisiveness in business situations. This is sometimes referred to as the super hero stance. Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips. It can feel kind of silly but will make a difference in their attitude and behaviour.
Finally, your kids need to be aware of how they actually walk. Self-confident people walk with big steps. They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
With a little time and some direct instruction, you can help your teen appear more self-confident which will actually help them feel more self-confident. You are the perfect person for them to practise on. One thing though. It is probably better to address this in private.
8. What will kids fail to gain with more self-confidence?
A. Better marks on the exam. B. Better relationship with others.
C. Greater self-control. D. The strongest bones.
9. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Standing like a super hero. B. Engaging in an activity.
C. Making eyes focused on a certain thing. D. Holding heads high.
10. What can we know from paragraphs 2-4?
A. Teen girls always stand tall and straight with their shoulders back.
B. Self-confident persons aren’t afraid of straight eye contact.
C. It’s impolite to put your hands on your hips when you talk with others.
D. You should mind your steps when you walk, being careful and slow.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Self-confidence and Body Language B. Self-confidence and Teen Girls
C Self-confidence and Parents D. Self-confidence and Good Quality
D
Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6?
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15. What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example?
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C. To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.

Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. ___20___ You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.

B. Make a list of negative associations.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was studying for a huge science test when my little brother and sister burst into the kitchen, singing at the top of their lungs: Squirrels in the garden, Squirrels in the tree, I’m a happy squirrel, Look at me…Then, just as soon as they finished, they started singing all over again.
“Wow! That’s a pretty catchy song,” I said after the third time around. But I asked them to stop singing as I was trying to study.
“Sorry, Zona,” said Indi. “But we really do need to keep singing it. Our music teacher said so!”“Yeah,” said Tex. “Our class is putting on a squirrel play for Parents Night, and we have to memorize every single word by Friday!” Indi added that they had to make their own tails and ears and dumped out a bag full of furry costume parts. “Can you help us?”
“Maybe in a little while,” I said. “Right now, I need to read my book.”
Tex and Indi sang that song while they were making their costumes, while they were doing their chores, and even while they were brushing their teeth!
Since Tex and Indi squeaked(吱吱叫)and sang every day that week, I wasn’t as prepared as I wanted to be for my test on Friday. And in the middle of taking my test, the squirrel song started playing over and over in my head. It was almost impossible for me to focus on the last few questions.
When I got home that afternoon, all I wanted to do was collapse on the couch. The only thing was, Tex and Indi had beaten me to it.
“Can you please let me sit too?” I grumbled. “I had a rotten day!”“We had a rotten day too!” said Tex. “Yeah,” said Indi. “A bunch of kids in our class got sick, so tonight’s play is canceled!”
We were just three miserable lumps sitting in silence for a really long time. Even though I had been complaining about their singing, it broke my heart to see them disappointed. They had been so excited about the show.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I said after a while, “I can’t let all of your practicing go to waste.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After everything was ready, I arranged for our parents to attend the performance.

Frequent goodbyes to her family come hand-in-hand with Wang Yaping’s intensive training. This time, however, her goodbye has sparked joy in her 5-year-old daughter’s eyes as she is “shooting for the stars.”
Known for broadcasting a 40-minute live lesson during her first space trip, she is very likely to draw global attention again during her second space mission.
Wang was born in 1980 to a rural family in Shandong Province. “When I was young, my world was small,” Wang recalled. “My dream was much simpler: to go beyond the village and to pay back all that my parents had given me.”
Her space dream started in 2003 when China sent Yang Liwei into space. “I watched the bright rocket flame on TV, and an idea flashed through my mind: China now has a male taikonaut, when will there be a female one?” Wang said. After racking up safe flights for 1,600 hours over nine years, Wang became a strong candidate (候选人) for China’s first flight by a female taikonaut. However, she did not pass her final tests. Wang did not lose heart but pushed forward even harder. She always ran three laps more than others in physical courses; she volunteered to be held to the same standards as her male partners during desert survival training, and she asked to train in the pressure chamber for an extra 30 minutes each time. “You can’t catch a break simply for being a woman,” she said.
Her efforts were not in vain. Wang became a crew member of the Shenzhou-10 space mission in 2013. And more notably, she earned the title of China’s first space teacher after giving a lecture to students from an orbit more than 300 km above the Earth’s surface.
Liu Cixin, China’s famous sci-fi writer and Hugo Award winner, said Wang’s lesson was like a “brush,” which painted a space world for children that is different from Earth.
4. What do we know about Wang Yaping?
A. She is the first Chinese woman to enter space.
B. She went to space just for a lecture in 2013.
C. She is the first Chinese to give a lesson in space.
D. She dreamed to pay back her hometown as a child.
5. How did Wang Yaping react in the face of failure?
A. She was puzzled about her future for a period.
B. She felt down completely under great pressure.
C. She volunteered for heavier tasks than men.
D. She strengthened herself through hard practice.
6. Which of the following can best describe Wang Yaping according to the text?
A. Learned and generous. B. Wise and cooperative.
C. Honest and ambitious. D. Determined and hard-working.
7. Why does the author mention Liu Cixin in the last paragraph?
A. To compare Wang Yaping with him.
B. To show his opinion on Wang’s space lesson.
C. To explain how Wang became famous.
D. To describe his award-winning novels.

Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control. Self-confidence is obtained from skills and competencies, experiences, treatment by others and the nature and frequency(频率) of successes and failures. But, self-confidence is also affected by something as simple as how your kids carry themselves as they go about their daily lives. If kids behave more self-confidently, they feel more self-confident. Here are some direct instructions parents can give their kids to help them make it.
To start with, have your kids stand tall and straight with their shoulders back. This is particularly important for teenage girls. It is not unusual for girls to draw their shoulders inward as a way of avoiding dealing with the changes of their bodies. They will need help balance being confident in their bodies.
Self-confident people stand and walk with their hands out and to the side of the body. Some research has provided evidence that placing your hands on your hips(髋部) results in greater decisiveness in business situations. This is sometimes referred to as the super hero stance. Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required, have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips. It can feel kind of silly but will make a difference in their attitude and behaviour.
Finally, your kids need to be aware of how they actually walk. Self-confident people walk with big steps. They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
With a little time and some direct instruction, you can help your teen appear more self-confident which will actually help them feel more self-confident. You are the perfect person for them to practise on. One thing though. It is probably better to address this in private.
8. What will kids fail to gain with more self-confidence?
A. Better marks on the exam. B. Better relationship with others.
C. Greater self-control. D. The strongest bones.
9. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Standing like a super hero. B. Engaging in an activity.
C. Making eyes focused on a certain thing. D. Holding heads high.
10. What can we know from paragraphs 2-4?
A. Teen girls always stand tall and straight with their shoulders back.
B. Self-confident persons aren’t afraid of straight eye contact.
C. It’s impolite to put your hands on your hips when you talk with others.
D. You should mind your steps when you walk, being careful and slow.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Self-confidence and Body Language B. Self-confidence and Teen Girls
C. Self-confidence and Parents D. Self-confidence and Good Quality
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了自信的好处,并通过不同的肢体语言介绍如何让十多岁的孩子们增强自信。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Self-confidence is an important quality to develop in your kid. It is associated with better grades, more satisfying personal relationships, better decision making, and greater self-control.(自信是培养孩子的重要品质。它与更好的成绩、更令人满意的人际关系、更好的决策和更好的自制力有关。)”可知,孩子么变得自信之后,就可以拥有好的成绩、良好的人际关系和自制力等。“最强壮的骨头”在文中并未提及。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Before your kids are about to engage in an activity where self-confidence is required, have them stand like a super hero with their heads held high, their eyes focused on the horizon and their hands on their hips(在你的孩子即将参加一项需要自信的活动之前,像超人一样站着,仰起头,平视前方,双手叉腰)”可知,it代指前面的提到的“have them stand like a super hero”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“They take solid steps with their head up, looking where they are going and making direct eye contact with people they encounter.
(他们昂首迈出坚实的步伐,看看自己要去的地方,并与遇到的人进行直接的眼神交流。)”可知,自信的人会与他们所遇到的人直接进行眼神交流。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了自信的好处,并通过不同的肢体语言介绍如何让十多岁的孩子们增强自信,作者提出了三种让孩子提高自信的方法,全部都是在肢体语言上的表现,A项“Self-confidence and Body Language(自信与肢体语言)”最能概括本文的主题,是最合适的标题。故选A项。

Mickey Mouse welcomed visitors to his new home in China on June 16, 2016 as Disney opened its first theme park in the country.
The park, located in the city of Shanghai, opened with fireworks.
Joe Schott, president and general manager of Shanghai Disney Resort, said, “I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”
Tens of thousands streamed into Shanghai Disneyland for its debut(问世), an event that was nearly two decades in the making. The $ 5.5 billion resort(度假胜地) covers 963 acres, but Disney has already begun expansion.
Company officials said they tried to reflect Chinese preferences in the new park.
“We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.
There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.
In the castle, guests not only walk through, as they do in other Disney parks, they can also eat and shop. When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses. Parks in California and France are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
“The visitors can learn the princesses over time, and this gives them an opportunity to have an introduction to all of the princess stories,” said executive producer Ali Rubinstein.
However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.
12. What’s Joe Schott’s attitude to Shanghai Disney Resort?
A. Disappointed. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Confident.
13. What can be learned from what Bob said in paragraph 6?
A. They build the theme park in China.
B. The theme park belongs to China.
C. The theme park has Chinese elements.
D. The theme park has a long Chinese history.
14. Why does China’s Disneyland have all kinds of princesses?
A. Chinese people have no certain favourite Disney princess.
B. Chinese people don’t know any princess characters in Disney movies.
C. Chinese people believe “the more, the better”.
D. Parks in other countries are based on the Sleeping Beauty story.
15. What is the purpose of giving the Mulan example?
A. To show the Chinese character of Disneyland.
B. To show Mulan is an important part of Chinese culture.
C. To show China’s Disneyland has not reflected enough Chinese culture.
D. To show Disneyland has too few Chinese character films.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了中国上海的迪士尼乐园。设计者在里面融入了大量的中国元素。当然也提到了一些遗憾的地方,对中国元素还是有一些没有做到位的地方。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I can promise you that there is still so much left to be revealed, and I cannot wait to share it all with you in the months and years to come.”(我可以向你保证,还有很多事情要透露,我迫不及待地想在未来的岁月里与大家分享这一切。)可知,Joe Schott对上海迪士尼乐园的态度是充满信心的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段““We didn’t build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” said Bob Iger, Disney’s chairman.”(迪士尼董事长鲍勃·伊格尔表示:“我们不是在中国建造迪士尼乐园,而是建造了中国的迪士尼。”)和第七段“There’s a traditional Chinese tea house featuring local food. The Lion King performed in Mandarin for the first time, features the Monkey King and characters dressed in Chinese opera garb(服装)to appeal to an Asian audience.”(有一家传统的中国茶馆,以当地食物为特色。《狮子王》首次以普通话演出,主角是孙悟空和身着中国戏曲服装的角色(服装)吸引亚洲观众。)可知,接下来提到的中国茶社、当地食物、中国戏曲服装、美猴王等都在说上海的迪士尼是融入了中国当地文化的迪士尼乐园。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“When it was discovered that Chinese people didn’t have a favourite Disney princess, the company decided that the castle would feature all the princesses.”(当发现中国人没有最喜欢的迪斯尼公主时,该公司决定将所有公主都放在城堡里。) 可知,因为中国人没有特定的最受喜爱的迪士尼公主,所以在中国迪士尼乐园有迪士尼电影中所有的公主。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, China’s Disneyland sometimes are not closely related to China. Disney’s only animated film based on a Chinese story, Mulan, which tells the tale of a Chinese warrior woman, got neither its own ride nor stage show. The character appears only as a statue and afloat in the parade.”(然而,中国的迪斯尼乐园有时与中国没有密切联系。迪士尼唯一一部基于中国故事的动画片《花木兰》,讲述了一位中国女战士的故事,既没有自己的骑乘节目,也没有舞台剧。这个角色只是一尊雕像,漂浮在游行队伍中。)可知,文中提到花木兰主要是指花木兰电影是迪士尼拍过的唯一以中国故事为背景的动画电影,而这个角色却在中国迪士尼只是一个雕塑,没有进一步挖掘成舞台剧等。表明中国的迪士尼乐园没有充分反映中国文化。故选C。

Difficult goals can rarely be achieved alone; you’re likely to need some help and guidance. Look at the list you made and see what you already have in your life that could help you on your path.
Track your progress.
Measure your progress each day. Use old fashioned paper and pencil or take advantage of the latest smartphone app. ___20___ You can only adjust your approach if you know how you’re doing. Consider making a chart if that’s applicable to your goal.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was studying for a huge science test when my little brother and sister burst into the kitchen, singing at the top of their lungs: Squirrels in the garden, Squirrels in the tree, I’m a happy squirrel, Look at me…Then, just as soon as they finished, they started singing all over again.
“Wow! That’s a pretty catchy song,” I said after the third time around. But I asked them to stop singing as I was trying to study.
“Sorry, Zona,” said Indi. “But we really do need to keep singing it. Our music teacher said so!”“Yeah,” said Tex. “Our class is putting on a squirrel play for Parents Night, and we have to memorize every single word by Friday!” Indi added that they had to make their own tails and ears and dumped out a bag full of furry costume parts. “Can you help us?”
“Maybe in a little while,” I said. “Right now, I need to read my book.”
Tex and Indi sang that song while they were making their costumes, while they were doing their chores, and even while they were brushing their teeth!
Since Tex and Indi squeaked(吱吱叫)and sang every day that week, I wasn’t as prepared as I wanted to be for my test on Friday. And in the middle of taking my test, the squirrel song started playing over and over in my head. It was almost impossible for me to focus on the last few questions.
When I got home that afternoon, all I wanted to do was collapse on the couch. The only thing was, Tex and Indi had beaten me to it.
“Can you please let me sit too?” I grumbled. “I had a rotten day!”“We had a rotten day too!” said Tex. “Yeah,” said Indi. “A bunch of kids in our class got sick, so tonight’s play is canceled!”
We were just three miserable lumps sitting in silence for a really long time. Even though I had been complaining about their singing, it broke my heart to see them disappointed. They had been so excited about the show.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

After everything was ready, I arranged for our parents to attend the performance.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I said after a while, “I can’t let all of your practicing go to waste.”“We don’t want to waste it, either, but what can we do?”Indi asked helplessly. “We can hold the Parents’ Night by ourselves that can be arranged in our own house.” Hearing my words, Tex and Indi jumped up from the couch excitedly with eyes flashing, “Yes, Zona, you’re right. We can put on the squirrel play for our parents who can be our audience! I believe they will like it!” Indi agreed, turning around cheerfully. In the next few hours, we began to make preparations respectively. Tex and Indi continued to practice the song while making up and I was in charge of setting up the performance hall for the night.
After everything was ready, I arranged for our parents to attend the performance. As the lights went up, two cute little squirrels scampered into the middle of the stage. “Squirrels in the garden, Squirrels in the tree, I’m a happy squirrel, Look at me…Then, just as soon as they finished, they started singing all over again.”While singing at the top of their lungs, Tex and Indi put on a vivid and perfect performance. As the music stopped, our parents stood up in excitement and kept clapping loudly, “What a wonderful permance!Thank you, babies!You’re so great!”Mom praised, “Zona helped us, Mom. It was our joint effort that made us do it.” Indi said, holding my hand happily. “Oh, my dear, you’re the best, I’m proud of you all.” Mom hugged us slightly and gently. The squirrel song started to play over and over in my head again. What a pleasant night!
