Here are some charming tales you can read with your loved ones to find your inner delight. Are you ready to be inspired?
Oh the Places You’ll Go
In this story, the character sailed through many adventures, conquering all the amazing highs and terrible lows. Through all the challenges, it never gave up, but kept moving forward to satisfy its thirst for exploring. It faced all the twists and turns of life with excitement. This character has no name because it is all of us. It teaches us to be tough in the face of all challenges because the only key to enjoying life is to never give up on it.
The Rainbow Fish
In the deepest of the oceans lived a fish called the Rainbow Fish. It had sparkling scales (鳞) that shone like a rainbow. Despite being so beautiful, it had no friends, for it was so selfish! Life was lonely for it. One day, it met a wise dolphin who told the fish that it’s good to be happy, but it’s better to bring happiness to others. From the following day, the fish started helping other fish and made many friends. This story shows us all the true importance of friendship.
The Giving Tree
Once upon a time, there lived a generous tree. It used to provide shade for a little boy to play and rest, and strong branches to take swings on. When the boy grew older, so did his needs. He started to take more and more from the tree. First, he took the leaves, then the branches, and one day he came to take the trunk. But the tree was happy because it had spent its life making the boy happy! This tale is heart-aching but it tells us important values of life.

My problems started after I went to a boarding (寄宿) school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends — but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union (学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”
4. What was the writer’s problem when she was first in the boarding school?
A. She didn’t like her new school. B. She didn’t like her new teacher.
C. She missed her family very much. D. She didn’t get along well with her classmates.
5. Many of the writer’s friends in her new school were ______.
A. teachers B. women C. girls D. boys
6 Why did the writer fail to join the Student Union?
A. Her teachers didn’t like her. B. Some girls didn’t choose her.
C. She was a poor student. D. She likes showing off herself.
7. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?
A. The teacher thought she was an excellent student.
B. The writer won prizes for the best science and English exams.
C. The writer was sad because she failed to join the Student Union.
D. The writer didn’t realize her friendships with boys would cause problems.
C
Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times. Janet Croft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention(CDC)in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies(僵尸).”
One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated.
Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8:30 am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP),those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock(生物钟).Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems.
The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents aren’t aware of this. In the same study,7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Owens.
Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands.”
Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too. Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don’t sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.
8. What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2?
A. The students’ brain health is worrying.
B. The students are fond of computer games.
C. The students are so used to staying up very late.
D. The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes.
9. According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by
A. increasing their course load
B. affecting their circadian clock
C. affecting their performance at school
D. disturbing their relationships with classmates
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast.
B. Physical and mental health are equally important to teens.
C. It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning.
D. Teachers should take measures to raise students’ interest in learning.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Parents are unaware of their kids’ sleep condition.
B. Being overweight is very common among American teens.
C Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead.
D. Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens’ study.
D
If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly gets worse. For example, a hobby that you haven’t done for a few years, like playing the piano. The next time you pick it up, maybe you’ve forgotten altogether!In order to prevent this, people take regularly exercise to keep their skills sharp.
Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to slow down. In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia (痴呆). However, all is not lost because these days it’s relatively easy to train your brain. Smartphones and apps have put programmes that can test, keep and even improve our memories and a number of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains sharp, right?
Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people think it is beneficial to play some online games that are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits is “weak to non-existent”. Playing a “brain game” may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing (有说服力的) result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Don’t lose heart, though. There are other ways to develop the brain. It recommends trying new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering
There’s more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do.
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a common saying and explain its meaning.
B. To show how people can prevent skill loss.
C. To discuss the history of piano playing.
D. To give advice on learning the piano.
13. What can we infer about the effectiveness of playing online brain games from paragraph 3?
A. Strong and continuous benefits have been proved.
B. The evidence of the benefits is weak to non-existent.
C. The benefits are not clear in everyday thinking abilities.
D. Both game performance and cognitive functions are greatly improved.
14. According to James Goodwin, which of the following does NOT help prevent brain decline?
A. Playing an easy game that you already know well.
B. Learning a new musical instrument that requires concentration
C. Participating in a photography course that challenges one’s creative skills.
D. Taking part in a new cooking class that teaches techniques unknown before.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Brain decline is natural and unavoidable as people age.
B. Online brain games can improve people’s cognitive abilities.
C. Doing new and difficult activities can benefit the brain.
D. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle are key to keeping the brain healthy.

My problems started after I went to a boarding (寄宿) school. I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. I often called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found that I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I had many friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends — but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boys would become a problem.
Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was staying with boys all day long in order to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students to join the Student Union (学生会). I thought I could win, for I was doing well in school. I had already won prizes for the best math and English exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn’t include me. I was sad.
Mr. Wang came to me and said, “Don’t be sad. I know you’re excellent! Maybe you are a little distant from the girls in our class. They don’t know much about you, so some of them didn’t choose you. It doesn’t matter. Do your best to get along well with everyone and I think you’ll make it next time.”

Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring. Doctors now have a solution: for better teen health, push the sleep button on school start times. Janet Croft, who studies teens and sleep at the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention(CDC)in Atlanta high schools, says, “Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes. Too many students start their day as walking zombies(僵尸).”
One report stresses the importance of sleep for teens and describes the dangers from not getting enough sleep. Studies in the past have shown over and over that teens lacking sleep face higher risks of being overweight and being frustrated.
Many teens get too little sleep because they attend middle and high schools that start earlier than 8:30 am. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP),those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock(生物钟).Too little sleep disturbs that clock and causes problems.
The study conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that nearly 6 in every 10 middle school students and 9 in 10 high school students are sleeping too little. Yet many parents aren’t aware of this. In the same study,7 of every 10 parents said they believed their kids did sleep enough. That study shows too many parents are unaware of the science on teen-sleep needs, says Owens.
Kyla Wahlstrom, a former teacher, who has spent a lot of time with teens lacking sleep, says: “An incredible number of students are either sleeping at their desks or sitting there like a lump, not asking questions or raising their hands.”
Getting enough sleep can help a teen on the inside, too. Several studies have shown that children and teenagers who don’t sleep enough are more likely to become obese, or extremely overweight. Teens lacking sleep also are more likely to suffer from anxiety, depression and mood disorders. It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.
8. What does the author want to stress by mentioning “walking zombies” in Paragraph 2?
A. The students’ brain health is worrying.
B. The students are fond of computer games.
C. The students are so used to staying up very late.
D. The students are in a bad state of learning in early classes.
9. According to AAP in Paragraph 4, early school schedules affect teens by
A. increasing their course load
B. affecting their circadian clock
C. affecting their performance at school
D. disturbing their relationships with classmates
10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The number of teens lacking sleep is growing fast.
B. Physical and mental health are equally important to teens.
C. It is really necessary to adjust school start times in the morning.
D Teachers should take measures to raise students’ interest in learning.
11. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Parents are unaware of their kids’ sleep condition.
B. Being overweight is very common among American teens.
C. Early school start times can turn teens into the walking dead.
D. Researchers have found out how sleep is related to teens’ study.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述学校早上上课时间太早会导致学生睡眠不足,从而导致一些问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。第二段中提到“Most teens are actually brain dead when they go to these early classes.(大部分青少年在去上早课时,大脑实际上是麻木的)”,所以作者提到“walking zombies(行走的僵尸)”是想强调这些学生上早课时学习状态不好。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“According to the American Academy of Pediatrics(AAP),those early start times throw off a student’s internal body rhythm, called the circadian clock(生物钟).(根据美国儿科学会,这些很早开始的课程破坏了被称作生物钟的内部身体节奏)”可知,美国儿科学会认为早课影响学生的生物钟。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段主要讲述睡眠不足的青少年更有可能变得肥胖,遭受焦虑、沮丧等情绪问题,结合最后一句“It’s time to recognize how important sleep is, particularly to teenagers.(是时候认识到睡眠是多么重要了,尤其是对青少年)”可推知,调整学校早上课程开始的时间很必要。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合文章第一句“Teens and their teachers know well that early-morning classes can be tiring.(青少年和他们的老师都清楚地知道,一大早上课很累)”可知,文章主要讲述学校太早开始上课会让学生睡眠不足,大脑处于麻木的状态,并讲述了睡眠不足导致的问题,所以C项“学校很早开始上课可以让青少年变成行尸走肉”符合题意。故选C项。

If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly gets worse. For example, a hobby that you haven’t done for a few years, like playing the piano. The next time you pick it up, maybe you’ve forgotten altogether!In order to prevent this, people take regularly exercise to keep their skills sharp.
Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to slow down. In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia (痴呆). However, all is not lost because these days it’s relatively easy to train your brain. Smartphones and apps have put programmes that can test, keep and even improve our memories and a number of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains sharp, right?
Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people think it is beneficial to play some online games that are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits is “weak to non-existent”. Playing a “brain game” may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing (有说服力的) result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Don’t lose heart, though. There are other ways to develop the brain. It recommends trying new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering
There’s more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do.
12. What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a common saying and explain its meaning.
B. To show how people can prevent skill loss.
C. To discuss the history of piano playing.
D. To give advice on learning the piano.
13. What can we infer about the effectiveness of playing online brain games from paragraph 3?
A. Strong and continuous benefits have been proved.
B. The evidence of the benefits is weak to non-existent.
C. The benefits are not clear in everyday thinking abilities.
D. Both game performance and cognitive functions are greatly improved.
14. According to James Goodwin, which of the following does NOT help prevent brain decline?
A. Playing an easy game that you already know well.
B. Learning a new musical instrument that requires concentration
C. Participating in a photography course that challenges one’s creative skills.
D. Taking part in a new cooking class that teaches techniques unknown before.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Brain decline is natural and unavoidable as people age.
B. Online brain games can improve people’s cognitive abilities.
C. Doing new and difficult activities can benefit the brain.
D. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle are key to keeping the brain healthy.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨大脑功能的维持方式,指出市面上的健脑游戏对提升日常认知能力的作用缺乏有力证据,进而提出尝试新颖、需要专注且具有社交性的活动,才是有益大脑健康的有效方式。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly gets worse (如果你不用它,就会失去它。至少,这句老话是这么说的。它指的是一种不经常使用的东西会很快变糟的观点)”可知,第一段的主要内容是介绍这句俗语并解释其含义。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people think it is beneficial to play some online games that are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits is ‘weak to non-existent’. Playing a ‘brain game’ may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing (有说服力的) result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities (根据全球大脑健康委员会的一份报告,尽管许多人认为玩一些旨在改善大脑健康的网络游戏是有益的,但这种益处的证据‘微弱到不存在’。玩‘健脑游戏’可能会提高游戏表现,但这尚未在人们的日常认知能力方面显示出令人信服的效果)”可知,在线健脑游戏对日常思维能力的益处并不明确。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are ‘new to you and require your concentrated attention’, they can provide benefits for brain health (英国老年协会首席科学家詹姆斯·古德温表示,大脑衰退并非不可避免。只要这些活动‘对你来说是全新的,并且需要你集中注意力’,它们就能为大脑健康带来益处)”可知,能预防大脑衰退的活动需要满足“新颖”和“需要专注”两个条件。选项A“玩一款你已经非常熟悉的简单游戏”,既不新颖,也不需要投入过多注意力,不符合要求。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据最后一段“As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do (只要这些活动“对你来说是新的,需要你集中注意力”,它们就可以为大脑健康带来好处。所以快点,出去试试新东西。也许是时候尝试一下你一直想做的爱好了)”可知,文章指出:尝试新颖、需要集中注意力的活动能够有益于大脑健康,延缓大脑衰退。选项C“进行新颖且有难度的活动对大脑有益”精准概括了文章的核心内容,符合主题。故选C。

46. 在接受挑战的时候,你们将有机会掌握大量的知识,并享受个人的成长。
When you________ ________the challenges, you will have the opportunity to acquire great knowledge and enjoy personal growth.
【答案】 ①. rise ②. to
【解析】
【详解】考查短语。根据中英文提示可知,空处缺少“接受”的英文表达,根据主句时态用一般将来时,可知when引导时间状语从句,用一般现在时,主语为you,第二人称,动词用原形。故填:①rise;②to。
47. 要想全面发挥自己的潜能,充分利用我们学校的资源很重要。
To fully realize your potential, it is important for you to ______ ______ ______ ______ our school resources.
【答案】 ①. make ②. the ③. most ④. of
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。空处表示“充分利用”,使用动词短语make the most of,空前的to是不定式符号,后接动词原形,不定式作真正的主语,it是形式主语。故填①make②the③most④of。
48. 在英国,课堂讨论很重要,但是我做不了多大的贡献,因为有时我无法清晰地用英语表达自己的看法。
Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not ________ ________ ________ ________ because sometimes I wasn’t able to express myself clearly in English.
【答案】 ①. make ②. a ③. great ④. contribution
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。中英文句子对比可知,空处应填“做大的贡献”,应用动词短语make a great contribution,与空前could not结合,表示“做不了多大的贡献”,情态动词could not后用动词原形。故填①make;②a;③great;④contribution。
49. 当你和父母意见相左时,花点时间让自己冷静下来,尝试从他们的角度了解状况。
When you disagree with your parents, take a minute to calm down and try to understand the situation _______ _______ _______ _______ _______.
【答案】 ①. from ②. their ③. point ④. of ⑤. view
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语。“从某人的角度”可用介词短语from one’s point of view表示,“他们的”用形容词性物主代词their。故填from their point of view。
50. 他辜负了父母的期望,感到很难过。
He was sad that he failed to ______ ______ ______ his parents’ expectations.
【答案】 ①. live ②. up ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。fail表示“未能”,故空处表示“不辜负”,使用动词短语live up to,空前的to是不定式符号,后接动词原形,故填①live②up③to。
51. 我发现自己被他欺骗之后,真的好伤心,我放弃了那份友谊。
When I found out that I was tricked by him, I was really hurt and ________ ________ ________ our friendship.
【答案】 ①. let ②. go ③. of
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。根据句意“放弃”可知,空格处涉及固定短语“let go of…”,意为“放弃……,舍弃……”,根据句意和句中“was”可知,句子陈述的是过去发生的事,为一般过去时,“let”的过去式是“let”,故空格处应填“let go of”。故填let go of。
52. 在此,友谊有双重优势--幸福有 了更大的意义,而麻烦再分担之后减半。
Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness ______ ______ a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved!
【答案】 ①. takes ②. on
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和动词短语。take on表示“承担,呈现,雇用”,take on a greater meaning 表示“有了更大的意义”,分析句子结构可知,空格处应填谓语动词,结合句意可知,应用一般现在时,且主语happiness为单数,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,所以应填takes on。故填takes on。
53. 然后她在早上的体育课上晕倒了,被迅速送往医院。
She then ______ ______ in her morning PE lesson and was rushed to hospital.
【答案】 ①. passed ②. out
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、时态。此处需要填入合适的短语来表达“晕倒”的意思,pass out为固定短语,意为“昏倒,失去知觉”,根据后面的was rushed可知句子时态为一般过去时,and连接并列的谓语动词,所以pass应用其过去式passed,故填passed;out。
54. 健康专家对这些数字表示担忧。
Health experts _______ _______ _______these figures.
【答案】 ①. are ②. concerned ③. about
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。表示“对……担忧”短语为be concerned about,陈述事实用一般现在时,主语为experts,谓语用复数。故填are concerned about。

【答案】 ①. keep ②. regular ③. hours

【答案】that
【解析】

【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我能想到很多情况,学生显然知道很多英语单词和表达,但写不出一篇好文章。该空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是cases,为抽象的地点名词,关系词指代先行词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。故填where。
