Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer sacrificed (牺牲) to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. "Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers," she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family — and that's pretty powerful.
1.What did Jennifer do after high school
A.She helped her dad with his work. B.She ran the family farm on her own.
C.She supported herself through college. D.She taught her sisters and brothers at home.
2.Why did Jennifer choose the program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield
A.To take care of her kids easily. B.To learn from the best nurses.
C.To save money for her parents. D.To find a well-paid job there.
3.What did Jennifer sacrifice to achieve her goal
A.Her health. B.Her time with family.
C.Her reputation. D.Her chance of promotion.
4.What can we learn from Jennifer's story
A.Time is money. B.Love breaks down barriers.
C.Hard work pays off. D.Education is the key to success.

Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch (音调).
One of the study's authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music "actually tunes our sensory system". This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programmes, Dr Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin(普通话) speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding (编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single-syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.
For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word "mi" in three of its meanings: squint, bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study, Patrick C. M. Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
1.When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find __________.
A.it difficult to learn music at the same time
B.it not difficult to learn music at the same time
C.it hard to master the tones required to speak and understand
D.it easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch
2.Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training
A.Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B.Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C.Because music training might help people with language study.
D.Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
3.The underlined word "intoned" in the fourth paragraph can be replaced by the word "__________".
A.created B.spelled C.seemed D.pronounced
4.What would be the best title of this passage
A.Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers
B.Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C.Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D.Schools Need to Develop Music Programmes
D
When we talk about English, we often think of it as a single language but like most languages, English has evolved through years of speakers, going through major changes over time. By looking at these changes, we can have a deeper understanding of the language, from the present day back to its ancient roots.
While modern English shares many similar words with romance languages(罗曼斯语), like French and Spanish, most of those words were not originally part of it. Instead, they started coming into the language with the Norman invasion of England in 1066. When the French-speaking Normans conquered(征服) England and became its ruling class, they brought their speech with them, adding a large number of French and Latin words to the English language formerly spoken there. The English used in Beowulf(《贝奥武夫》) probably doesn't look very familiar, but it might be more recognizable if you know some German. That's because Old English belongs to the Germanic language family, first brought to the British Isles(不列颠群岛) in the 5th and 6th centuries by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. The language they spoke would become known as Anglo-Saxon. Viking invaders(维京侵略者) in the 8th to 11th centuries added more borrowings from Old Norse(古斯堪的那维亚语) into the mix.
It may be hard to see the roots of modern English underneath all the words borrowed from French, Latin, Old Norse and other languages. But the amazing fact is that nearly 3 billion people around the world, many of whom cannot understand each other, are speaking the same words shaped by 6000 years of history.
1.What's the passage mainly about
A.The introduction of modem English. B.The study of Old English.
C.The origin of modem English. D.The discussion of the usage of English words.
2.Why does English share many similar words with French
A.The words were part of English at first and then were borrowed into French.
B.The Normans brought those words to the English language.
C.The words were brought to the British Isles in the 5th and 6th centuries.
D.Viking invaders added those words to English.
3.What do the underlined words "has evolved" probably mean
A.has been passed down
B.has been invented
C.has gradually developed
D.has changed completely
4.Which of the following is correct according to the passage
A.English is a single language.
B.English has its only root in romance languages.
C.English is actually a mixture of several languages.
D.There are 3 billion English speakers in the world.

六、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
It was a rough week. The price of oil skyrocketed as the temperature dropped sharply in Maine. I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yogurt, but I didn't have the extra three dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard in the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wasted a parent's money and made me hate advertising.
I felt guilty as a parent when the big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, "It's just yogurt. What's the big deal " So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yogurt.
On the way driving back from the grocery store, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people stay away from him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. My son didn't seem to care much, either. I looked at the man closely then—bare hands grasping a piece of cardboard, snot(鼻涕) frozen to his face, a worn-out jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil and groceries. But I decided to help him. I pulled over to the man and handed him a five-dollar bill.
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised.

On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done.

二、答案：BFDCA
解析：本文为说明文。主题语境为人与自我,主题语境内容为如何接受自我。文章介绍了接受自我的四种具体做法。本文有助于学生学会认识自我、丰富自我、完善自我。
①过渡句。由设空处前一句(但有时它似乎太困难, 太遥不可及。)以及后一句(下面是一些可以让你找到正确的方向的方法。)可知,B项"Where do you start (你从哪里开始呢 )"从问题过渡到下文解决问题的办法,符合逻辑。故选B项。

⑨考查固定搭配。句意: 所以美国东南部山区的人用几乎和西北地区的相同的方言讲话。the same...as...和......相同的......, 为固定搭配。故填as。
⑩考查名词复数。句意: 尽管很多美国人频繁搬迁, 他们还是能识别并理解对方的方言。根据many判断, 此处用名词复数形式, 故填Americans。
五、答案：
I'd like to share my story of studying English with you. At first, it was difficult for me to study English. I felt very sad, and the differences between Chinese and Western culture made me very puzzled.
But I knew that English was very important, so I worked hard. First, I listened to the teacher and took notes carefully and revised them after class. Second, I often read English newspapers or magazines in order to enrich my knowledge of English culture.
You do these and make the most of various media to learn about culture differences, and you will make great progress soon.
六、答案：
Seeing this, my son became confused and surprised. "Mum, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yogurt " I explained that if we were blind to the poor man's situation, he would be freezing. He didn't have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare $5 even if we were financially stressed. Finally, my son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yogurt.
On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldn't have done. He looked at his yogurt and handed it to the man outside his window. It was just a matter of a few spoonfuls of yogurt, but it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it more than he wanted it. He showed me that I was doing well as a mother. There is always kindness if we open our eyes, and we always have the opportunity to pass kindness to someone else.
