The teacher told each student to bring a plastic (塑料) bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. Therefore, the number of potatoes would be different depending (取决于) on how many people each student disliked. The next day, all of the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them wherever they went for one week. Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain (抱怨) because their potatoes began to go bad and smell terrible. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were. One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?” The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what it’s like to carry hatred (憎恨) in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can’t stand carrying those potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate (仇恨) in your heart for an entire (整个的) lifetime?” It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. It’s like carrying a heavy bag all day long. So, forgive (原谅) others and move on with your own life. 4．How many potatoes were the students asked to carry to school? A．They had to carry as many potatoes as they could. B．They could choose to carry two to six potatoes. C．It depended on the number of people they hated. 5．The students started to complain after several days because ________. A．carrying potatoes around made them look strange B．their bags full of potatoes were heavy and smelly C．the potatoes often fell out of their bags 6．The underlined word “exhausting” in the last paragraph refers to ________. A．tiring B．sad C．angry 7．According to the writer, which is the best way to deal with hate? A．Try to stand it as long as you can. B．Try your best to be good with the people you hate. C．Try to be kind and don’t care too much about others’ mistakes. 【答案】4．C 5．B 6．A 7．C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。通过一个小学老师让学生携带土豆的游戏，比喻心怀仇恨的沉重负担，最终传递“原谅他人，继续生活”的道理。 4．细节理解题。根据“the number of potatoes would be different depending (取决于) on how many people each student disliked.”可知，土豆数量与憎恨的人数相关。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据“Some of the students started to complain (抱怨) because their potatoes began to go bad and smell terrible. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were.”可知，学生抱怨的原因是袋子又重又臭。故选B。 6．词句猜测题。根据“It’s like carrying a heavy bag all day long.”可知，心怀仇恨一生与整天背着沉重的袋子一样会令人疲惫。“exhausting”意为“令人疲惫的”，与选项A意思相近。故选A。 7．细节理解题。根据“So, forgive (原谅) others and move on with your own life.”可知，解决憎恨的最佳方式是宽容对待他人的错误，即试着善良一点，不要太在意别人的错误。故选C。 C Everyone knows that sleep is important for our health, but do you know that it can also help us learn a new language? A study found that brain (大脑) activity during sleep can improve our memories. In the study, 35 English speakers learnt a language called Mini Pinyin. This language is based on (以……为基础) Chinese, but it has similar grammar (语法) to that of English. About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake (醒着) and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep. They were tested the next morning. The researchers found that the people who slept after learning remembered much more than those who just stayed awake. When we sleep, our brain goes through different stages. One of these is called REM sleep. It usually first happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream. Another sleep stage is non-REM sleep, when brain activity is much lower. But during this time, our brain sorts and saves new information. This is thanks to two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short- term memory part of the brain to the long-term memory part. Scott Cousens worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep plays a key role in remembering information, such as a new language. “Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. It’s an important time for the brain to change and grow,” he said. So, if you want to improve your English skills, the secret might be going to bed! 8．Which is TRUE about the 35 people in the study? A．Some learnt Chinese while others learnt English. B．Some went to bed before being tested but others didn’t. C．Some learnt in the morning while others learnt at noon. 9．What do we know about REM sleep? A．It is the last stage of our sleep. B．It happens just after we fall asleep. C．Many people dream during the stage. 10．What does the underlined word “They” refer to (指的是)? A．Brain waves. B．Brain activities. C．Different parts of the brain. 11．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Scott’s suggestions for English speakers. B．Scott’s idea about the importance of sleep. C．The reason why Scott worked on the study. 【答案】8．B 9．C 10．A 11．B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了睡眠有助于学习新语言，并通过研究说明睡眠对大脑记忆的重要作用。 8．文章第二段“About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep. They were tested the next morning.”指出，研究中的有些人在测试前睡觉，有些人没有睡觉。 9．文章第三段第四句“During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream.”指出，人们在快速眼动睡眠阶段经常做梦。 10．文章第四段第三、四句“This is thanks to two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short-term memory part of the brain to the long-term memory part.”中，前一句提到两种脑电波，后一句用They承接，因此They指代的是“脑电波”。 11．第五段主要介绍了研究人员Scott Cousens关于睡眠对记忆和语言学习的重要作用的观点，解释了睡眠对大脑成长与改变的重要意义，因此第五段的核心是讲解睡眠的重要性。 D Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles? One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend. Is it possible for us to slow down our thoughts or even stop them completely? It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of two states-we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die. “The brain never actually stops thinking in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background (后台) without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes. You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it. Some researchers have referred to this as “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that come in and out of our mind very quickly at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer. Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter. 12．What happens to you when “your thoughts are going around in circles”? A．You cannot stop thinking about past events. B．You are thinking about one thing repeatedly. C．You are thinking about one thing after another. 13．What does Paragraph 4 try to prove (证明)? A．Human brains are thinking all the time. B．Computer can think like a human brain. C．Human brains work faster than computers. 14．What do we know about thought-chatter? A．It can make us smarter. B．Meditation can make it less. C．It refers to the background noises we hear. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．How to think actively. B．Busy working human brains C．Differences between human brains and computers. 【答案】12．C 13．A 14．B 15．B 【解析】本文主要讲述了人类大脑无时无刻不在思考的特点，介绍了“思绪乱转”“思维絮语”等相关概念，并说明了冥想对梳理思绪的作用。 12．第一段指出“Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles? One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend.”，当“思绪绕圈”时，你会一件事接着一件事地想，思绪不停切换。 13．第四段用电脑后台运行作类比，说明“Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly ‘thinking’, even if you’re not actively using it.”，核心是证明人类大脑始终在思考，哪怕我们没有主动使用它。 14．最后一段指出“But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter.”，冥想可以帮助减少思维絮语。 15．全文围绕“人类大脑无时无刻不在思考”展开，介绍了大脑的后台思维、思维絮语等内容，核心是说明人类大脑始终处于忙碌工作的状态。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you find yourself in this situation—not much money but a lot of needs?

Thomas J. Scheuer from the US studies at Tsinghua University. He is also a table tennis player. China has many talented table tennis players who train really hard. Scheuer also heard that another reason is that there are a large number of ping pong fans for the sport in China. Almost everyone can play a little. To see whether it’s true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out. The active scene surprised him. At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing table tennis. A man said that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He plays for two hours every day. He was even named one of the “Beijing Masters” when he was 70. “I’ve noticed that I’m the youngest player here in the park,” said Scheuer. Then Scheuer visited a table tennis club. There, many kids were practicing. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said ① . The visit made Scheuer truly admire (钦佩) the great interest that Chinese people have in table tennis. As China’s national sport, table tennis is as popular as soccer and basketball here.

And it’s everyone’s duty to do something for his or her family. I used to think I only needed to study hard, but later I learned to help my parents with housework.

They usually go to the sports field to exercise and reduce stress. And they also go to the library to enjoy reading, to study and to improve themselves. As for the museum, they say that they can learn more in different fields. Which is the most meaningful place to visit for students? Why do students think going to the library is meaningful? ●can feel relaxed when reading ●can learn a lot about different subjects ●can improve themselves ●can be inspired to think deeply 1．How many students think the zoo is the most meaningful place to visit? A．14. B．70. C．110. 2．Students choose to go to the library because they can ① make themselves better    ② think deeply ③ enjoy reading        ④ exercise ⑤ learn more in different fields A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③⑤ 3．In which part of a school newspaper can we read the text? A．History & Art. B．After-class Life. C．Travel & Sports. B A primary school teacher decided to have her class play a game. The teacher told each student to bring a plastic (塑料) bag with a few potatoes in it to school. Each student would “name” their potatoes after people they did not like. Therefore, the number of potatoes would be different depending (取决于) on how many people each student disliked. The next day, all of the students brought their potatoes to school. Some kids had just one or two potatoes, while others had as many as five or six. The teacher then told the children that they would have to carry their potatoes with them wherever they went for one week. Several days passed by. Some of the students started to complain (抱怨) because their potatoes began to go bad and smell terrible. The students who carried more potatoes also complained about how heavy their bags were. One week later, the game was over. The teacher asked, “How did you feel about carrying around your potatoes for a week?” The students complained once again. The teacher simply smiled and said, “This is what it’s like to carry hatred (憎恨) in your heart. You have to carry it with you wherever you go. If you can’t stand carrying those potatoes for one week, can you imagine having hate (仇恨) in your heart for an entire (整个的) lifetime?” It can be exhausting to carry hate in your heart for a whole lifetime. It’s like carrying a heavy bag all day long. So, forgive (原谅) others and move on with your own life. 4．How many potatoes were the students asked to carry to school? A．They had to carry as many potatoes as they could. B．They could choose to carry two to six potatoes. C．It depended on the number of people they hated. 5．The students started to complain after several days because ________. A．carrying potatoes around made them look strange B．their bags full of potatoes were heavy and smelly C．the potatoes often fell out of their bags 6．The underlined word “exhausting” in the last paragraph refers to ________. A．tiring B．sad C．angry 7．According to the writer, which is the best way to deal with hate? A．Try to stand it as long as you can. B．Try your best to be good with the people you hate. C．Try to be kind and don’t care too much about others’ mistakes. C Everyone knows that sleep is important for our health, but do you know that it can also help us learn a new language? A study found that brain (大脑) activity during sleep can improve our memories. In the study, 35 English speakers learnt a language called Mini Pinyin. This language is based on (以……为基础) Chinese, but it has similar grammar (语法) to that of English. About half of those people learnt the language in the morning. They stayed awake (醒着) and had a test later that day. The others learnt in the evening and then went to sleep. They were tested the next morning. The researchers found that the people who slept after learning remembered much more than those who just stayed awake. When we sleep, our brain goes through different stages. One of these is called REM sleep. It usually first happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. During this time, brain activity is very high and we often dream. Another sleep stage is non-REM sleep, when brain activity is much lower. But during this time, our brain sorts and saves new information. This is thanks to two kinds of brain waves. They can move new information from the short- term memory part of the brain to the long-term memory part. Scott Cousens worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep plays a key role in remembering information, such as a new language. “Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. It’s an important time for the brain to change and grow,” he said. So, if you want to improve your English skills, the secret might be going to bed! 8．Which is TRUE about the 35 people in the study? A．Some learnt Chinese while others learnt English. B．Some went to bed before being tested but others didn’t. C．Some learnt in the morning while others learnt at noon. 9．What do we know about REM sleep? A．It is the last stage of our sleep. B．It happens just after we fall asleep. C．Many people dream during the stage. 10．What does the underlined word “They” refer to (指的是)? A．Brain waves. B．Brain activities. C．Different parts of the brain. 11．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about? A．Scott’s suggestions for English speakers. B．Scott’s idea about the importance of sleep. C．The reason why Scott worked on the study. D Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going around in circles? One minute, you’re thinking about your homework. The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend. Is it possible for us to slow down our thoughts or even stop them completely? It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of two states-we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die. “The brain never actually stops thinking in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background (后台) without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes. You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it. Some researchers have referred to this as “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that come in and out of our mind very quickly at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer. Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter. 12．What happens to you when “your thoughts are going around in circles”? A．You cannot stop thinking about past events. B．You are thinking about one thing repeatedly. C．You are thinking about one thing after another. 13．What does Paragraph 4 try to prove (证明)? A．Human brains are thinking all the time. B．Computer can think like a human brain. C．Human brains work faster than computers. 14．What do we know about thought-chatter? A．It can make us smarter. B．Meditation can make it less. C．It refers to the background noises we hear. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．How to think actively. B．Busy working human brains C．Differences between human brains and computers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you find yourself in this situation—not much money but a lot of needs? Don’t worry. 16 Here is some useful advice to help you spend money wisely. Write down what you buy. Every time you spend money, record it in a notebook. For example, you might write, “Tuesday: 5 yuan—a pen.” This simple habit helps you see where your money goes. 17 Use the 24-hour rule. Before buying something expensive, wait one day. Ask yourself, “Do I really need this?” 18 If you forget about it, you can save that money for something more important. 19 Before going to the store, make a list of what you really need. If you go to a store just to look around, you may buy things you don’t need. Stick to your list, and you’ll spend less and still get what you really need. 20 It takes time and practice, but every small step helps. Keep learning, and soon you’ll feel more confident about your financial (财务的) future! A．Shop with a list. B．Spending all your money in one day is crazy. C．Good money habits don’t happen in a day.

Thomas J. Scheuer from the US studies at Tsinghua University. He is also a table tennis player. China has many talented table tennis players who train really hard. Scheuer also heard that another reason is that there are a large number of ping pong fans for the sport in China. Almost everyone can play a little. To see whether it’s true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out. The active scene surprised him. At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing table tennis. A man said that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He plays for two hours every day. He was even named one of the “Beijing Masters” when he was 70. “I’ve noticed that I’m the youngest player here in the park,” said Scheuer. Then Scheuer visited a table tennis club. There, many kids were practicing. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said ① . The visit made Scheuer truly admire (钦佩) the great interest that Chinese people have in table tennis. As China’s national sport, table tennis is as popular as soccer and basketball here. Scheuer was also impressed (印象深刻的) to find that Chinese people of all age groups take part in the sport not just to win, but also to have fun, to make friends, and to have a healthy lifestyle. Such a spirit touched him. 41．Where is Thomas J. Scheuer from? 42．Where did he see many old people playing table tennis? 43．Who is Ma Long? 44．What sport do you like to play after class?

They can move new information from the short- term memory part of the brain to the long-term memory part. Scott Cousens worked on the study. He said the results showed sleep plays a key role in remembering information, such as a new language. “Sleep is not just for us to have a rest. It’s an important time for the brain to change and grow,” he said. So, if you want to improve your English skills, the secret might be going to bed! 8．Which is TRUE about the 35 people in the study?

The next minute, you’re thinking about your plans for the weekend. Is it possible for us to slow down our thoughts or even stop them completely? It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, US. We basically go through each day in one of two states-we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die. “The brain never actually stops thinking in a broader sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background (后台) without us noticing them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off.” Halassa said. Human brains can unconsciously process (无意识地处理) about 11 million pieces of information per second, according to Forbes. You can compare this to how a computer works. Even when you aren’t using your computer while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is constantly “thinking”, even if you’re not actively using it. Some researchers have referred to this as “thought-chatter”. It describes the random (胡乱的) thoughts that come in and out of our mind very quickly at different times during the day, according to Steve Taylor, a psychology lecturer. Some thought-chatter can be enjoyable, such as daydreaming. Albert Einstein came up with his famous theory of relativity (相对论) while daydreaming at work. But too much thought-chatter can make us feel too anxious or worried, Taylor said. Meditation (冥想) can help us clean up some of this thought-chatter. 12．What happens to you when “your thoughts are going around in circles”? A．You cannot stop thinking about past events. B．You are thinking about one thing repeatedly. C．You are thinking about one thing after another. 13．What does Paragraph 4 try to prove (证明)? A．Human brains are thinking all the time. B．Computer can think like a human brain. C．Human brains work faster than computers. 14．What do we know about thought-chatter? A．It can make us smarter. B．Meditation can make it less. C．It refers to the background noises we hear. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A．How to think actively. B．Busy working human brains C．Differences between human brains and computers. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Do you find yourself in this situation—not much money but a lot of needs?
