Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information. Every student must join at least one book club this summer. Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life. Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life. Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound. Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people. However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections. To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading. If students want to get some advice on the choice of books from professional authors, please click the Pro link for more information. 1. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A school textbook.

Winnie was diagnosed (诊断) with vitiligo (白瘢风) when she was just four years old. Being disliked really worried her and after she was forced to change schools several times, she eventually dropped out of high school. Everything started to change for Winnie when American supermodel and TV personality Tyra Banks discovered her on Instagram. Tyra instantly recognized Winnie’s model qualities. What’s more, she was able to see what all those childhood classmates could not — Winnie’s unique skin colour set her apart in a good way. Tyra asked Winnie to become the first Canadian competitor on “America’s Next Top Model.” The show built up Winnie’s confidence and she grew more comfortable with her different look. “You just might not be aware of that uniqueness if you’re too busy being self-critical. I had to relearn how to love myself by forgetting the opinions of everyone else and focusing on my opinion of myself,” Winnie said. Today, you can find Winnie performing on the runway at London Fashion Week, showing confidence from head to toe, and on the pages of the top fashion magazines. She’s also a public speaker. She advocates all that makes people unique, inspiring others to recognize that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. What she said in an interview reflected her psychology. “If fate (命运) wanted me to be black, I’d be black. If fate wanted me to be white, I’d be white. But fate chose me to be both and original. So I guess that’s the way I’m supposed to be.” 4. What do we know about Winnie’s early life? A. Her family moved a couple of times. B. She was unfairly treated by her classmates. C. Her health issues often kept her away from school. D. She went to hospital for the first time at the age of four. 5. What role did Tyra Banks play in Winnie’s career? A. She introduced Winnie to fashion design. B. She provided Winnie with medical treatment. C. She encouraged Winnie to become a TV host. D. She discovered Winnie’s potential as a model. 6. What does the underlined word “advocates” mean in paragraph 4? A. Looks into. B. Stands up for. C. Argues against. D. Throws doubt on. 7. What advice would Winnie give to people who are anxious about being different? A. Hide their differences. B. Accept themselves as they are. C. Try to become a model. D. Change opinions from others. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了患有白癜风的Winnie Harlow是如何成为模特以及对于美的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Being disliked really worried her and after she was forced to change schools several times, she eventually dropped out of high school.(不受欢迎真的让她很担心，在被迫转学几次后，她最终从高中辍学了)”可知，温妮早期受到了同学们的不公平对待。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tyra instantly recognized Winnie’s model qualities. What’s more, she was able to see what all those childhood classmates could not — Winnie’s unique skin colour set her apart in a good way.(泰拉立刻认出了温妮的模特气质。更重要的是，她能够看到所有童年同学都看不到的东西——温妮独特的肤色使她在一个很好的方面与众不同)”可知，泰拉·班克斯发现了温妮作为模特的潜力。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Today, you can find Winnie performing on the runway at London Fashion Week, showing confidence from head to toe, and on the pages of the top fashion magazines. She’s also a public speaker.(今天，你可以看到温妮在伦敦时装周的t台上表演，从头到脚展示自信，登上顶级时尚杂志的页面。她也是一位公众演说家)”和后文“makes people unique, inspiring others to recognize that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors(让人与众不同的事物，鼓励别人认识到美丽来自各种形状、大小和颜色)”可知，温妮鼓励别人认识到美丽来自各种形状、大小和颜色，说明作为公众演说家她支持让人们与众不同的事物。故划线词意思是“支持”。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““You just might not be aware of that uniqueness if you’re too busy being self-critical. I had to relearn how to love myself by forgetting the opinions of everyone else and focusing on my opinion of myself,” Winnie said.(“如果你太忙于自我批评，你可能不会意识到自己的独特性。我必须重新学习如何爱自己，忘记别人的看法，专注于我对自己的看法，”温妮说)”可知，温妮建议那些担心自己与众不同的人接受本来的自己。故选B。 C You hear a song while you read. You hear it while you’re taking a test. You even hear it while you’re trying to go to sleep. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, a memory of a song! Earworm is common and there are a few theories (理论) behind it. The brain is very sensitive to music, according to neurologist Oliver Sacks, who says music affects us whether we pay attention to it or not. Sacks wonders if there are earworms today because we’re surrounded by music all the time in our everyday lives. Research on the auditory cortex supports Sacks’s ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that deals with sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory (sound) information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time. James Kellaris (“Dr. Earworm,” as some people call him) is a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. He thinks that only certain types of songs become earworms. These songs have certain characteristics that other songs do not. The characteristics are repetitiveness, simplicity, and incongruity. Your brain pays a lot of attention to a song which are repetitive, simple and incongruous — something unexpected such as uneven (不均匀的) beats, Kellaris says. Because of this, a song which is repeated and unusual stays longer in the auditory cortex. No wonder, advertisers often use jingles — short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: Replace the earworm song with another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in your head! 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing rules. B. By drawing conclusions. C. By telling stories. D. By describing experiences. 9. Why is “auditory cortex” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show what earworms are like. B. To discuss how earworms affect us. C. To explain why we get earworms. D. To tell where earworms come from. 10. Which of the following is most likely to become an earworm? A. A soft ring from the speaker in the classroom. B. A slow song that makes you think in a bookshop. C. A piece of music you hear for a short time in the cinema. D. A unique jingle that plays over and over in a supermarket. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Earworms — the typical jingles B. Earworms — the power of music C. Earworms — the songs in your head D. Earworms — the music of everyday life 【答案】8 D 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了什么是“耳虫”，并介绍了“耳虫”的原因和解决办法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“You hear a song while you read. You hear it while you’re taking a test. You even hear it while you’re trying to go to sleep. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, a memory of a song! (你边读边听一首歌。你在考试时听到它。你甚至在试图入睡时听到它。你不能让它停下来，它快把你逼疯了！这发生在你身上吗？也许你患有耳虫，一首歌的记忆！)”可知，为了引出“耳虫”现象，作者列举了一些生活中的经历，例如你边读边听一首歌，你甚至在试图入睡时听它等，这些都是“耳虫”现象，由此可知，作者通过描述经历引出话题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Sacks wonders if there are earworms today because we’re surrounded by music all the time in our everyday lives. Research on the auditory cortex supports Sacks’s ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that deals with sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory (sound) information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time. (萨克斯想知道今天是否有耳虫，因为我们在日常生活中一直被音乐包围着。对听觉皮层的研究支持萨克斯的观点。听觉皮层是大脑中处理声音的部分。这是一个用于存储少量听觉（声音）信息的短期存储系统。其中一些听觉信息被遗忘，而另一些则进入长期记忆。然而，歌曲似乎在听觉皮层中停留了很长时间。)”可知，“听觉皮层”解释了“耳虫”现象的原因，听觉皮层是大脑中处理声音的部分，歌曲在听觉皮层中停留的时间很长，所以出现了“耳虫”现象，由此可知，在第2段提到“听觉皮层”是为了解释我们为什么会得“耳虫”。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“The characteristics are repetitiveness, simplicity, and incongruity. (其特点是重复性、简单性和不协调性。)”和“No wonder, advertisers often use jingles—short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. (难怪广告商经常使用广告歌曲——易于记忆的短歌来促进销售。)”可知，“耳虫”歌曲的特点是重复性、简单性和不协调性，例如易于记忆的广告歌曲，由此可知，一首在超市里反复播放的独特广告歌最有可能成为“耳虫”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“You hear a song while you read. You hear it while you’re taking a test. You even hear it while you’re trying to go to sleep. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, a memory of a song! (你边读边听一首歌。你在考试时听到它。你甚至在试图入睡时听到它。你不能让它停下来，它快把你逼疯了！这发生在你身上吗？也许你患有耳虫，一首歌的记忆！)”可知，本文主要介绍了什么是“耳虫”，即一首歌曲在你脑海中反复出现，并介绍了“耳虫”的原因和解决办法，“Earworms—the songs in your head”意为“耳虫——你脑海中的歌曲”，能够概括文章主要内容，为最佳标题。故选C项。 D Altruists (利他主义者) in the workplace are more likely to help fellow workers, more satisfied with and less likely to leave their job, new research by UW-Madison’s La Follette School of Public Affairs shows. And these workplace altruists enjoy a pretty important benefit themselves — they are happier than other workers. “More and more research shows the power of altruism,” says La Follette professor Donald Moynihan, “but many people hold the view that we behave altruistically because of hidden self-interest, such as the desire to improve how others see us.” “Our findings make a simple but important point about altruism: helping others makes us happier. Altruism is not a form of self-sacrifice (自我牺牲) out of self-interest, but functions for many as part of a healthy psychological reward (心理奖励) system,” Moynihan explains. Previous research suggests that volunteering makes people happier, but this new study offers new findings — showing altruism in the work environment also increases happiness. Funded by the UW-Madison Center for Demography of Health and Aging, the study tested the relationship between altruism in the workplace and happiness in two ways. First, using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study of more than 10, 000 Wisconsin high school graduates in 1957, the authors found that individuals in their mid-30s who rated helping others in their work as important said they were happier with their life when surveyed again almost 30 years later. Then the authors tested the same model using the General Social Survey and found similar connections among the desire to help others and happiness. “The new research adds to the growing study on happiness. In line with earlier research, public service workers reported a higher desire to help others, but the effect of altruism on happiness was the same for both public and private workers,” Moynihan notes. 12. What can we learn about altruists according to the new research? A. They are likely to stay longer in the company. B. They have more chances to be promoted. C. They care more about others than themselves. D. They tend to make other workers happier. 13. Many people mistake altruism as _______. A. something leading to job satisfaction B. something driven by individual benefits C. something connected with self-reflection D. something centering around others’ happiness 14. How was the research carried out? A. By doing two follow-up surveys. B. By studying figures from experiments. C. By having interviews with workers. D. By revising previous research results. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Altruists undoubtedly feel happy in helping others. B. Public workers are as happy as private workers. C. There’s growing concern on the effect of altruism. D. The new research has gained a different result. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于利他主义者的研究，解释了研究开展的过程以及研究发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“ Altruists (利他主义者) in the workplace are more likely to help fellow workers, more satisfied with and less likely to leave their job, new research by UW-Madison’s La Follette School of Public Affairs shows.(威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校拉福莱特公共事务学院的一项新研究显示，工作场所的利他主义者更有可能帮助同事，对自己的工作更满意，也更不可能离职)”可知，利他主义者可能会在公司待更长的时间。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““More and more research shows the power of altruism,” says La Follette professor Donald Moynihan, “but many people hold the view that we behave altruistically because of hidden self-interest, such as the desire to improve how others see us.”(“越来越多的研究显示了利他主义的力量，”拉福莱特教授唐纳德·莫伊尼汉说，“但许多人认为，我们的利他行为是出于隐藏的自利，比如想要改善别人对我们的看法。”)”可知，许多人误以为利他主义是由个人利益驱动的。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Funded by the UW-Madison Center for Demography of Health and Aging, the study tested the relationship between altruism in the workplace and happiness in two ways. First, using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study of more than 10, 000 Wisconsin high school graduates in 1957, the authors found that individuals in their mid-30s who rated helping others in their work as important said they were happier with their life when surveyed again almost 30 years later. Then the authors tested the same model using the General Social Survey and found similar connections among the desire to help others and happiness.(这项研究由威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校健康与老龄化人口统计中心资助，从两方面测试了工作场所的利他主义与幸福感之间的关系。首先，在1957年对1万多名威斯康星高中毕业生进行的威斯康星纵向研究中，作者发现，在30年后再次接受调查时，认为在工作中帮助他人很重要的35岁左右的人表示，他们对自己的生活更快乐。然后，作者使用综合社会调查测试了相同的模型，发现帮助他人的愿望和幸福之间存在类似的联系)”可知，这项研究通过做两次后续调查进行。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The new research adds to the growing study on happiness. In line with earlier research, public service workers reported a higher desire to help others, but the effect of altruism on happiness was the same for both public and private workers,” Moynihan notes.(这项新的研究增加了对幸福的研究。莫伊尼汉指出：“与早期的研究一致，公共服务工作者报告说，他们有更高的帮助他人的愿望，但利他主义对幸福感的影响对公共和私人工作者都是一样的。”)”可知，毫无疑问，利他主义者在帮助别人的过程中感到快乐。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，共12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In life, everyone wants to have friends who he or she can trust forever. ___16___ It is scary because in most cases you have to get out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there.

Only I will win, no one else will win!” shouted Jim. “Jim, you may be right but talent without hard work is not good at all. This laziness of yours will cost you greatly,” his mother warned him. Jim just laughed and shrugged (耸肩) his shoulders. He was so confident that he would win the prize as no one else in his class was as fast as he was.

Brown High School has an independent reading program every summer. Our goals for independent reading include knowing oneself as a reader, understanding how to find what one loves to read for fun, and learning how to connect with others around books and reading. To that end, we offer you our summer reading program. You can see the introductions to reading clubs on this page and click different links to see more detailed information. Every student must join at least one book club this summer. Club 1: For students who like reading books in which famous people write about their own life. Club 2: For students who like reading long written stories in which the characters and events are not usually in real life. Club 3: For students who like reading pieces of writing that express emotions, experiences, and ideas, especially in short lines using words that have the same last sound. Club 4: For students who like reading news reports describing real events and people. However, we strongly recommend that one of the books you choose be an “unlikely choice”. An “unlikely choice” will be a type of book that you-wouldn't normally pick. This helps readers to walk outside their comfort zones or usual selections. To discover your “unlikely choice”, explore the Peer page in which your classmates will recommend their favorite books and the Senior page in which teachers will pick their favorite books for students. Parents/ caregivers may want to explore the Staff page to learn more about how to support their children's independent reading.

Winnie was diagnosed (诊断) with vitiligo (白瘢风) when she was just four years old. Being disliked really worried her and after she was forced to change schools several times, she eventually dropped out of high school. Everything started to change for Winnie when American supermodel and TV personality Tyra Banks discovered her on Instagram. Tyra instantly recognized Winnie’s model qualities. What’s more, she was able to see what all those childhood classmates could not — Winnie’s unique skin colour set her apart in a good way. Tyra asked Winnie to become the first Canadian competitor on “America’s Next Top Model.” The show built up Winnie’s confidence and she grew more comfortable with her different look. “You just might not be aware of that uniqueness if you’re too busy being self-critical. I had to relearn how to love myself by forgetting the opinions of everyone else and focusing on my opinion of myself,” Winnie said. Today, you can find Winnie performing on the runway at London Fashion Week, showing confidence from head to toe, and on the pages of the top fashion magazines. She’s also a public speaker. She advocates all that makes people unique, inspiring others to recognize that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. What she said in an interview reflected her psychology. “If fate (命运) wanted me to be black, I’d be black. If fate wanted me to be white, I’d be white. But fate chose me to be both and original. So I guess that’s the way I’m supposed to be.” 4. What do we know about Winnie’s early life? A. Her family moved a couple of times. B. She was unfairly treated by her classmates. C. Her health issues often kept her away from school. D. She went to hospital for the first time at the age of four. 5. What role did Tyra Banks play in Winnie’s career? A. She introduced Winnie to fashion design. B. She provided Winnie with medical treatment. C. She encouraged Winnie to become a TV host. D. She discovered Winnie’s potential as a model. 6. What does the underlined word “advocates” mean in paragraph 4? A. Looks into. B. Stands up for. C. Argues against. D. Throws doubt on. 7. What advice would Winnie give to people who are anxious about being different? A. Hide their differences. B. Accept themselves as they are. C. Try to become a model. D. Change opinions from others. C You hear a song while you read. You hear it while you’re taking a test. You even hear it while you’re trying to go to sleep. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, a memory of a song! Earworm is common and there are a few theories (理论) behind it. The brain is very sensitive to music, according to neurologist Oliver Sacks, who says music affects us whether we pay attention to it or not. Sacks wonders if there are earworms today because we’re surrounded by music all the time in our everyday lives. Research on the auditory cortex supports Sacks’s ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that deals with sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory (sound) information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time. James Kellaris (“Dr. Earworm,” as some people call him) is a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati. He thinks that only certain types of songs become earworms. These songs have certain characteristics that other songs do not. The characteristics are repetitiveness, simplicity, and incongruity. Your brain pays a lot of attention to a song which are repetitive, simple and incongruous — something unexpected such as uneven (不均匀的) beats, Kellaris says. Because of this, a song which is repeated and unusual stays longer in the auditory cortex. No wonder, advertisers often use jingles — short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: Replace the earworm song with another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in your head! 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By listing rules. B. By drawing conclusions. C By telling stories. D. By describing experiences. 9. Why is “auditory cortex” mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To show what earworms are like. B. To discuss how earworms affect us. C. To explain why we get earworms. D. To tell where earworms come from. 10. Which of the following is most likely to become an earworm? A. A soft ring from the speaker in the classroom. B. A slow song that makes you think in a bookshop. C. A piece of music you hear for a short time in the cinema. D. A unique jingle that plays over and over in a supermarket. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. Earworms — the typical jingles B. Earworms — the power of music C. Earworms — the songs in your head D. Earworms — the music of everyday life D Altruists (利他主义者) in the workplace are more likely to help fellow workers, more satisfied with and less likely to leave their job, new research by UW-Madison’s La Follette School of Public Affairs shows. And these workplace altruists enjoy a pretty important benefit themselves — they are happier than other workers. “More and more research shows the power of altruism,” says La Follette professor Donald Moynihan, “but many people hold the view that we behave altruistically because of hidden self-interest, such as the desire to improve how others see us.” “Our findings make a simple but important point about altruism: helping others makes us happier. Altruism is not a form of self-sacrifice (自我牺牲) out of self-interest, but functions for many as part of a healthy psychological reward (心理奖励) system,” Moynihan explains. Previous research suggests that volunteering makes people happier, but this new study offers new findings — showing altruism in the work environment also increases happiness. Funded by the UW-Madison Center for Demography of Health and Aging, the study tested the relationship between altruism in the workplace and happiness in two ways. First, using the Wisconsin Longitudinal Study of more than 10, 000 Wisconsin high school graduates in 1957, the authors found that individuals in their mid-30s who rated helping others in their work as important said they were happier with their life when surveyed again almost 30 years later. Then the authors tested the same model using the General Social Survey and found similar connections among the desire to help others and happiness. “The new research adds to the growing study on happiness.
