I was the kid who got shouted at for trying to bring home sixty books at a time because I just couldn’t decide which world I wanted to experience that week. I remember spending my weekends， glued to a book， hungering to experience lives other than my own. Up until middle school， reading was a passion of mine. 　　Something changed after I entered high school， though. All of a sudden， reading was a task that I could not avoid fast enough. The books that I read in school bored me， and even if I enjoyed the books themselves， the repetitive， challenging homework we completed based on those books made me hate reading as a whole. 　　It actually wasn’t until recently that I rediscovered my love for reading. How， you may ask？ Audiobooks（有声书）. Last summer， I spent every morning taking long walks while listening to them， and I would find myself lost in the stories for hours. And now I’m rediscovering my passion for reading. I feel that pull again. That curiosity. 　　My love story with reading may have had a happy ending， but not everyone is as lucky as me. What went wrong？ 　　What tends to happen is that students lose their love for reading because of the way many schools try to encourage children to read. For example， when children are told to read for twenty minutes every night， they tend to read for the required amount of time and then check the task off on their list. In this way， reading has suddenly become a boring task instead of an exciting experience. 　　Making sure that kids keep their passion for reading will require us to rethink how we teach reading in schools and how we introduce books to children outside of school as well. There needs to be less of a focus on meeting reading requirements and more of a focus on creating an environment in which students are actually excited to read. （　　）4. Which word best describes the author’s love for books before high school？ A. Short-lived. B. Secret. C. Crazy. D. Conditional. （　　）5. Why did the author once hate reading？ A. She couldn’t choose her desired books. B. Reading as a task made her lose interest in it. C. She was given too many books to read. D. High school books were too difficult. （　　）6. What does the underlined word “pull” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ A. Influence. B. Responsibility. C. Confidence. D. Attraction. （　　）7. What does the author suggest people do for children in the last paragraph？ A. Create a pleasant reading environment. B. Choose suitable books for them. C. Give them after-school reading tasks. D. Set strict requirements for them. C 　　A problem has been annoying you for days—you just can’t solve it， and it’s driving you crazy. But then you go for a walk and suddenly the answer flashes right into your head！ It’s a great feeling and this link between exercise and creativity has been studied by scientists around the world. 　　Dr. Chong Chen and his team from Japan’s Yamaguchi University wanted to find out how different types of physical activity can help us solve problems and think creatively. They looked at 21 past studies from places including the US， the UK， Spain， Sweden， China， India and Japan. The studied exercise included walking， running， cycling， dance and yoga. 　　In fact， Chen and his team found that it was natural walking that almost always had a positive effect on people’s creativity—even if it was just walking inside a room or going up and down some stairs， for as little as three to four minutes. Dance is also good. Most of the studies Chen’s team looked at found that dance helped significantly with creativity—particularly among adults. However， the results for yoga were unclear. And low-intensity aerobic exercise（低强度的有氧运动） like cycling was not found to have an effect. 　　There were some advantages from right and energetic aerobic exercise， but “too much effort” exercise seemed not to have a mostly positive effect. That is to say， the hardest exercise actually didn’t give the best results. So completely tiring yourself out probably won’t help your creativity！ 　　Chen wrote that his team’s findings could be used in schools and businesses by including short periods of physical activity during the day to encourage creative thinking. It’s not even about keeping fit， Chen says—you just have to move！ 　　As he said， “Knowing that just a few minutes of walking， or other low-intensity physical activity can increase creative thinking should make getting up to move seem more worthwhile.” （　　）8. Why did Dr. Chong Chen and his team look at the past studies？ A. To know about the relation of exercise and creativity. B. To encourage people from other countries to think creatively. C. To learn if people take part in exercise in different countries. D. To explain why different types of physical activity are important. （　　）9. What can we know from their findings？ A. The harder people exercise， the better results are. B. Proper walking can help people with creativity. C. Yoga and cycling didn’t have a positive effect. D. Adults like to dance to improve their creativity. （　　）10. What advice did Chen give to people in schools and businesses？ A. They should use his findings. B. They had better keep healthy. C. They can work with each other. D. They should just begin exercises. （　　）11. What is the author’s attitude towards the finding？ A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Negative. D. Subjective. D 　　Have you ever walked into a room and completely forgotten why you came into it in the first place？ I couldn’t agree more when I read an article from Live Science that stated “There are several types of memories， and the brain has a unique way of forgetting each kind.” Memory does some funny things. While forgetting is a normal and vital part of our brain function， we have to admit that memory can be a mysterious and naughty joker. One of the most common mysteries is a short-term memory failure where people find themselves entering a room with no memory of why they did so. 　　Everyone has experienced this at least once in their lives. We call it a “senior moment”， but researchers say it’s actually okay to put the blame（责备） on our doorways and not on our ageing brains. The act of walking through a doorway sends a signal to our brains that a new scene has started and that previous memories should be put away. This is what causes our memory failure and confusion. The thoughts we had before we entered that new scene have actually been sectionalized（分区）. In an interview with Live Science， Gabriel Radvansky， a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame said， “Entering or exiting through a doorway serves as an ‘event boundary’ in the mind.” 　　I find this amazing， as I watch it happen to people all around me every day. I guess I should stop telling them they’re getting old and actually explain the cause. For me it’s not doorways that cause a problem. It’s flights of stairs. Every so often I find myself going up the stairs and forgetting why I did so just as soon as I’ve reached the landing. What’s up with that？ Now if I can only find out what that means， I’d be truly fascinated. （　　）12. What contributes to our “senior moment” according to the researchers？ A. Ageing brains. B. Doorways. C. Different moments. D. The same scenes. （　　）13. Which of the following is Radvansky likely to agree with？ A. Walking through a doorway makes us nervous in the mind. B. Sectionalized thoughts disappear when we enter a new scene. C. Too many events in life are harmful to our brain memory. D. Exiting through doorways causes short memory failures. （　　）14. What may confuse the author？ A. Whether he should explain the cause to others. B. How much he was fascinated by science. C. How many people suffer from doorway problems. D. Why going up the stairs makes him forgetful. （　　）15. Which can be a suitable title for the text？ A. Short memory failures do have scientific reasons B. Doorways affect our long-term memory C. Different types of memories and forgetting ways D. Tips to avoid forgetting why you enter a room 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What adults can learn from kids 　　For kids like me， being called childish happens a lot. When we make silly requirements or act irresponsibly， adults often describe us as childish. But look at the bigger picture： many big events were caused by adults.  　16　 Anne Frank shared her powerful story in her teens， Ruby Bridges fought against racial division in the U. S. at 6， and 7-year-old Charlie Simpson raised ￡ 120，000 for Haiti on his little bike.  　17　 .Many characteristics considered as childish are often found in adults， so we should rethink using this word to criticize irresponsible behavior. 　　Moreover， who says that some “childish” ideas aren’t what the world needs？ Adults may have grand plans but stop themselves， thinking “That’s impossible.” or “That costs too much.”.  　18　 We dream of things like a world without hunger or suffering. While we know that such dreams can be impractical， dreaming is the first step in making things happen. 　　 　19　 For example， Museum of Glass in Tacoma， Washington has a program called Kids Design Glass， where kids create their own glass art ideas. The artists have said that kids’ ideas are often the best because they don’t worry about the difficulties of blowing glass into certain shapes； they just think of good ideas. 　　Kids learn a lot from adults， but we also have valuable ideas to share. Adults should learn from kids as well. Learning should go both ways.  　20　 When adults don’t trust kids， they set limits， telling us what not to do. Kids often have little say in the rules that influence us. Adults should consider the opinions and wishes of younger people. A. Therefore， age has nothing to do with being responsible. B. At the same time， kids have done many amazing things. C. Kids often think big， without the doubts that adults have. D. What’s worse， adults often think poorly of kids’ abilities. E. But there’s a problem in the idea that kids are better than adults. F. Our courage to imagine helps push the boundaries of possibility. G. The reality， unfortunately， is a little different， mainly due to distrust. 16.  　　 　17.  　　 　18.  　　 　19.  　　 　20.  　　 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 　　My parents have a sweet neighbor， Ms Helen， a 91-year-old lady.

To me， they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way. 　　I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl，” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs！” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover， whenever there were some competitive games， no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result， I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. 　　Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake， my name was put on the list of the women’s 1，500－meter race. By the time people found the mistake， it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me， “I couldn’t run that race in your place， because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same. 　　I was dumbfounded（目瞪口呆）， 1，500 meters！ Running against the best runners from other classes！ And in front of students of the entire school！ It would be the worst nightmare（噩梦） I’d ever have！ 　　“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet，” they said. 　　My deskmate patted me on the shoulder. “Cool！ You will run for our class！ And we will train together.” “Yes， this is not just for myself， but for my class too，” I said to myself. But still， 1，500 meters to me was like Mount Qomolangma to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class， my deskmate ran beside me. 　　One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line， I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me. 　　注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1： 　　With the shot of the starting gun， I rushed out and ran as fast as I could.  　 　 Paragraph 2： As expected， I was almost the last to cross the finish line.  　 参考答案 Unit 1 Back to School素养测评 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Homestay in Sydney， Australia Linda： 　　Our large house is in Sydney， about 200 meters from Macquarie University and 400 meters from the train station.

I learned this the hard way. 　　I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl，” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs！” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover， whenever there were some competitive games， no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result， I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. 　　Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake， my name was put on the list of the women’s 1，500－meter race. By the time people found the mistake， it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me， “I couldn’t run that race in your place， because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same. 　　I was dumbfounded（目瞪口呆）， 1，500 meters！ Running against the best runners from other classes！ And in front of students of the entire school！ It would be the worst nightmare（噩梦） I’d ever have！ 　　“You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet，” they said. 　　My deskmate patted me on the shoulder. “Cool！ You will run for our class！ And we will train together.” “Yes， this is not just for myself， but for my class too，” I said to myself. But still， 1，500 meters to me was like Mount Qomolangma to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class， my deskmate ran beside me. 　　One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line， I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me. 　　注意：续写词数应为150左右。 Paragraph 1： 　　With the shot of the starting gun， I rushed out and ran as fast as I could.  　However， soon I was out of breath， my legs feeling like lead. I slowed down as other runners passed me one by one. At the sight of that， I was on the verge of giving up when I heard my classmates shouting， “Come on！ You can do it！” Later， my deskmates even ran along the track beside me， cheering for me， just like the month-long training we did together. This lively scene flooded me with energy to push myself forward.　 Paragraph 2： 　　As expected， I was almost the last to cross the finish line.  　There stood my classmates waiting for me， who exploded with warm applause and cheers！ “You made it！” they yelled， “We are so proud of you！” Someone pressed a water bottle into my palm and wiped away the sweat rolling down my cheeks. With such strong collective care embracing me， gone was the great shame weighing on my mind. Deeply touched by them， I was lost in thought： The true victory lay not in winning a race but in overcoming my fear to complete it， which would inspire me to grow together with them.　 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
