A
My first year of college was a fairy tale that took place studying abroad in the historic and enriched city of Valencia, Spain. Recently I came across the Spanish expression merecer la pena, or to be worth it. Looking back on my time in Valencia, I can safely and firmly say that the hard work truly mereció la pena.
Departing to any new place requires adaptation and my move to Spain was no exception. Becoming comfortable with the Spanish culture did take tine and learning Spanish has required every ounce of my patience.
In the rare chance that time travel would ever exist and I could go back in time, I would without a doubt choose to study abroad in Spain again. Granted, there are a few chapters in my fairy tale that I would tweak, but my only true regret is not being able to converse fluently and flawlessly in Spanish after having spent eleven months in Spain. That being said, I did improve my Spanish-speaking skills. However, I was hoping for a dramatic improvement, which sadly never occurred. Therefore, if I were permitted any do-overs, I would immerse myself more in the Spanish culture and language than I did.
Although I did make many Spanish acquaintances while in Valencia, the trouble with these Spanish friends of mine was their eagerness to practice their English, thus hindering my aim to improve my Spanish. Further aggravating was the fact that their English ability was already far greater than the knowledge that I had of Spanish, which not only occasionally embarrassed me over my mistakes and lack of vocabulary, but also forced English to be the language for our conversations if we ever had serious matters to discuss.
Yet, beyond that, I bloomed and changed in more ways than I'd thought possible. Overall my experience in Spain could be described like no other: sweeter than a Valencian orange.
1. What did the author regret about her study abroad
A. That she didn't achieve Spanish fluency. B. That she didn't improve her oral Spanish.
C. That she didn't make any Spanish friends. D. That she didn't experience the Spanish culture.
2. Why did the Spanish communicate with the author in English
A. To avoid serious discussions. B. To test the author's vocabulary.
C. To reduce embarrassing mistakes. D. To sharpen their speaking skills.
3. What did the author think of her experience in Spain
A Strange B. Frustrating.
C. Carefree. D. Rewarding.
B
What is the secret to the world's most creative minds — the minds of resourceful inventors, innovative scientists and inspired artists Are they simply lucky to be born with the right genes Most studies suggest that only about ten percent of creativity is determined by a person's genes.
So what are the requirements for creativity First of all, creativity takes time. We tend to think of breakthroughs as coming in a sudden flash of brilliance, but this is rarely the case. Ideas often develop and form over a long period. In fact, many of history's most creative people have a reputation as daydreamers or procrastinators. Martin Luther King, Jr, reportedly wrote his "I Have a Dream" speech at ten o'clock the night before he delivered it, but it had gone through a long period of "preparation and incubation" in his mind before that.
In a surprising twist, creativity may also be sparked by suffering. We can see this in the lives of many great creative geniuses. Artist Paul Klee suffered great pain for much of his life as did many other artists, and composer Johann Sebastian Bach lost both his parents when he was only nine years old.
Those investigating the sources of creativity have noted that some creative geniuses do not always fit in well with social norms. They don't seem able to suppress the fountain of ideas that bubble up in their minds, some of which may seem inappropriate to others. Creative people are also curious. They seem wired to seek novelty and take risks. As children, creative people are often unable to sit still, unable to focus on their lessons, instead, always looking for something new and interesting to capture their attention.
The search for the source of creativity continues. Most researchers agree that the answer will be complex and that there is probably no single characteristic which can explain the world's most creative minds.
4. Martin Luther King's speech is mentioned to show__________.
A. creative people magic up ideas B. the creative process requires time
C. right genes contribute to creativity D. the last-minute pressure brings breakthroughs
5. How does the author prove his point in the 3rd paragraph
A. By quoting sayings. B. By making comparisons.
C. By providing examples. D. By analyzing a phenomenon.
6. Which of the following signs do creative kids probably exhibit
A. Lack of curiosity. B. High activity level.
C. Distraction-free mode. D. Good adaptation skills.
7. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To reveal the secrets of brilliant inventions.
B. To present the sufferings of artistic geniuses.
C. To explore the characteristics of creative minds.
D. To introduce the achievements of innovative scientists
C
Imagine this scenario: In 2050, you find an envelope, inside which is an old CD marked with the date 1998, your great-grandfather's name, and the words "all overseas bank accounts".
If this were to happen, you would be very excited, at least at first. Your excitement would be quickly followed by frustration because it would be difficult for you to retrieve the information on the disk. Even if the record was still in good condition, it would be hard to find a device that could read it.
Computers and digital technology have vastly expanded our capacity to store all kinds of information, but how long will our access to this stored information last This is a problem that began to worry technology experts. They became concerned that, without better ways of preserving information, future generations might look back on our times as the "digital dark ages". They may not have access to the digital record of our lives and our world.
Vint Cerf, a vice president at Google, argues that this could happen if we do not quickly take steps to address the issue. He uses the term "bit rot" to describe how our digital records may slowly but surely become inaccessible. Most softwares and apps that were used to create documents and websites ten or twenty years ago are already out of date, and in another fifty years they may not even be available. We can read letters from long ago, but will we be able to read a Twitter feed or access a Snapchat exchange a hundred years from now
Computer scientist Mahadev Satyanarayanan of Carnegie Mellon University has found a way to store everything—all together in the Cloud. Using his state-of-the-art approach, Satyanarayanan has been able to recover and preserve digital records that might otherwise have been lost forever.
Both Cerf and Satyanarayanan stress the importance of deliberate preservation. Important records shall be transferred to new forms of storage technology as they appear. Otherwise, they may disappear into the digital dark ages.
8. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the 2nd paragraph
A. The find of a CD. B. A travel to the future.
C. The recovery of bank accounts. D. An encounter with your great-grandfather.
9. How do Cerf and Satyanarayanan suggest we handle important data
A. Post on Twitter. B. Store via new technology.
C. Upload to the Cloud. D. Record in traditional letters.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. E-Waste: Dark Side of Digital Age B. Are We Living in the Digital Dark Ages
C. What Can the Digital Dark Ages Teach Us D. Google's Vint Cerf warns of Dark Technologies

What's the Mere Exposure Effect
Has it ever occurred to you that you started liking that song you used to hate because you had listened to it repeatedly Have you ever noticed how the more time you spend with a person, the more pleasant he/she becomes ___11___ Also known as the familiarity principle, this effect explains why, by repeatedly exposing ourselves to a new stimulus, our response to it becomes more positive.
Robert Zajonc is one of the authors who studied this particular psychological effect. He proved the presence of this preference in the face of stimuli of a very diverse nature. Words, sounds, photographs of faces… ___12___
Researchers conducted a study to test the influence of this effect on the liking for certain foods. For this, they gave a group of students several juices they didn't know until that moment. ___13___ When asked which ones they liked best, there was a clear tendency to judge those they drank the most as more positive.
Fechner, a German psychologist, the father of some current psychophysical theories, offers an explanation for this effect. ___14___ But this "newness phobia" fades away as you repeatedly expose yourself to the no-longer-new stimuli.
However, you must keep in mind that you can get bored if repeated exposure to the stimulus becomes excessive. ___15___ And if you watch the same movie every day, it'll lose its charm.
This principle of familiarity is the foundation of many of your preferences, regardless of your greater or lesser taste for adventure and risk. The products you buy, the places you frequent, and the people you like can all be affected by this principle. Therefore, it's convenient to be aware of its influence on your mind.
A. This is what the mere-exposure effect is about.
B. The reason for the mere exposure effect is uncertain.
C. Some tried them five times, others 10, and others 15
D. People tend to react with fear or anxiety to new elements.
E. If you eat the same thing every day, you'll end up hating it.
F. In all cases, people seem to favor those most familiar to them.
G. The effect happens due to their fear of new challenges and threats.

My father could have ___23___ us anything pizza, Burger King ice cream — but we would ___24___ MREs. Then we faced a ___25___ decision. It wasn't just about the entree (主菜) which was printed on the front of the pack: Menu No.12: Meatloaf; Menu No.17: Beef. It was also about the ___26___ that weren't mentioned on the outside of the package: the dry cake or the brownie; the cookies or the peanut butter…My first experience of ___27___ came when I had to choose which one I wanted. ___28___ the packages lying on our counter. I had my heart in my mouth. My hands were ___29___ before grabbing one.
___30___ beat eating dinner from those brown plastic bags, and that's why, when I saw MREs for ___31___ on Amazon, I bought some for $15 a piece. I ___32___ a picture on social media, and my former military friends laughed. But as I opened the shipment, it felt ___33___ I'd unearthed a box filled with childhood memorabilia. During my father's 24-year Army career, my family lived in ___34___ houses in five states. While I never had a hometown, the ___35___ was — still is — home to me, and MREs are a part of that.

Isabel sat carefully inserting papers into a folder. She had been at the Gateway Nature Center's office all morning and was weary of filing. She wanted desperately to work with the animals, especially the birds in the center. But her mom, who was the assistant director of the center, said Isabel was too young.
"I've been a weekend volunteer this whole school year. I know more about birds than almost anyone else here," she said to herself, recalling as evidence the extensive research she had done reading books and web sites on natural history. Then she sighed. She had never been good at speaking up for herself.
Suddenly, the quiet was shattered by Amy Jensen bursting in and letting the door slam. Isabel felt herself shrink. Amy, who had been a volunteer a bit longer than Isabel, walked around as if she were in charge of the place. "Hey, Isabel." she barked, planting a hand on Isabel's shoulder. Isabel willed herself to remain still, though she would have loved to brush Amy's hand off
Just then, Isabel's mother rushed into the room with Mr. Garza, the custodian (管理员). "The hurricane is entering the Gulf," she reported. "The Gulf Shore Preserve needs help preparing for the storm. I've got to go down there. You should be okay up here, but I need you girls to help Mr. Garza get the storm shutters down in the aviary (鸟舍). Stay inside with Mr. Garza after you get the storm shutters down." Isabel leaped to her feet, excited to have an opportunity to help the birds.
Mr. Garza and the girls worked quickly and were soon back inside, listening to the wind batter and rattle the shutters. When Mr. Garza found an emergency weather report on the computer, a concerned expression crossed his face. "A storm is heading our way," he announced. Amy's eyes widened in horror.

46【答案】Dear Peter,
Knowing that you are a member of designers of your school’s Chinese Culture Festivals, I am more than glad to give you some tips on the performances.
First, it will be very attractive to prepare specialty dishes of China. You can invite the cooks of your school to do them. Besides, I think if it is possible, students and teachers dressed in their traditional costumes may also be a wonderful sight. What’s the most important is that you’d better spare some areas for our Intangible Cultural Heritage, such as paper-cutting, flying kites, which must be amazing to all people present.
Hope everything goes well!
Yours,
Li Hua
47【答案】“The aviary is to be flooded.” Isabel though to herself. She was restless because she knew the birds too well and she was worried that the aviary would be flooded, which would scare the birds. She couldn't wait to tell Mr. Garza that they should protect the chicken aviary from being flooded. But Mr. Garza said it was too dangerous for them to go outside. Isabel ignored Mr. Garza's warning and she rushed out of the office to the aviary. Quickly she got a ladder and plastic sheets and climbed up the ladder to cover one aviary after another with plastic sheets, after which she came back to the office, as wet as a drowned rat.
After several hours, Isabel's mom returned to the center. When she entered the office, she saw Isabel, who was drenched. She was concerned about her daughter. Mr. Garza told her what had happened. She was very moved. She was proud of her daughter's brave behavior. At this time, she believed that Isabel was very suitable to work with the animals. What she could do was not just help sort out documents.
