“I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.
Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”
Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.
Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.
While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the aftereffects of major surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grownups alike in how to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for.

When I got home after dropping out of college in my junior year because of depression, I didn’t want to get out of bed every day. But my parents wanted me to, so I just removed myself from the living room to the couch. Sometimes I would turn on the TV and watch marathons, but mostly I just sat there, lost in thought.
One day when I was lying on the couch, not knowing what to do, I thought since I had been out of school for a long time, I had better do something productive in my life. I looked at what I could do. I could attend online college classes, go to in-person events just to get out of the house, or take up a hobby. But none of these things made me happy, and my depression seemed to follow me inseparably.
However, there was something that was my thing. No matter what kind of day I’m having now, the mere mention of start-ups still cheers me up. I have been doing business in some kinds of forms ever since I was a kid, and despite everything, this enthusiasm has always been in my heart.
So I started thinking of ideas, seeing which one could become practical. I spent my days being glued to a wide purple notebook and a pen in hand, sometimes moving from the couch to the table on our back porch (门廊) in the mornings. If I got up early enough, I’d watch the sun come up. It was there, in the still mornings, that I learned about life and started to look back on mine.
With time going on, the depression started to lift. I was making more progress in my recovery, and the good days were more frequent than the bad. I started a couple of different businesses, eventually settling on a web design business, and did a lot of experiments, which changed my ideas. After a period of time, things started to work.

According to political Hannah Arendt, “If we do not know our own history, we are doomed (注定) to live it as though it were our private fate (命运).” Historians proudly claim that their subject has played a role in sweeping social and political movements, and I agree. But more than that, I believe that the study of history holds the power to help people understand themselves.
I’m a history professor. At a course on women’s history, one of my students, angry about the reduced funds available for men’s wrestling, announced the topic of his research paper: a criticism of the laws guaranteeing women equal access to sports. Later, I told the class about my recent junior high school reunion. A former classmate said her daughters asked about her own sports’ history, “Were you on the basketball team, Mom ” When told that there were no such teams for girls at that time, they asked, “Well, what did you do ” She replied, shamefully, “We cheered for the boys.”
The angry student told me after the class that the realities and impact of the old days of unequal access to sports had never occurred to him. Through an understanding of the past, he saw women’s sports—in fact women’s rights and women in general-in a new and far more favorable light.
History can offer personal freedom. My female students are ashamed of their doubt about their appearance. They know they shouldn’t starve themselves, and shouldn’t force themselves to look like the models in the magazines. The study of history shows that they have these wrong thoughts not because they are weak individuals, but because, like the generations of women and men before them, they are the targets of powerful social practices.
They send me notes, “I’m not treating myself unkindly anymore.” “This class changed my life.” “I understand my wife better now.” Every day I see the power of history to transform lives.
9．Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with
A．Learning history makes people powerful.
B．Learning history can change our private fate.
C．Learning history is part of social movements.
D．Learning history helps to keep our society stable.
10．According to Paragraph 2, what is the student’s attitude towards women’s right
A．Ashamed. B．Favorable. C．Defensive. D．Prejudiced.
11．Why did the mother feel shameful
A．She didn’t cheer for the boys. B．She failed to answer the question.
C．She was unable to play basketball. D．She didn’t receive equal treatment.
12．What is the purpose of the passage
A．To show the importance of history.
B．To explain how to learn history well.
C．To persuade people to learn knowledge.
D．To discuss about women’s rights in history.

The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,”says Bradshaw with pride —and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land —as well as Natural England, which manages it —sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost E10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.
“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”
13．What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants
A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease.
C．Collecting their data. D．Directing farmers to grow plants.
14．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale
A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund.
C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep
15．What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph
A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work.
C．Youthful at heart,regardless of age, D．Advance what the forerunners began.
16．Which might be a suitable title for the text
A．Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C．Bradshaw:A97-Year-Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, and he and his father reached an agreement, and von Neumann went to study chemistry. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D．in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and in 1933 he became one of the 6 full-time professors in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).
World War Ⅱ (1931 — 1945) hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. After 1940, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in machines and made several fundamental computing contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He is remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really is a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”

Having grown up in northern Arizona with the immortal Grand Canyon and the iron red plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Towering mountain titans, a cozy valley and an infinite blue sky promised fantastic potential for exploration. For me, no newly discovered sights or foreign landscapes can compare with its beauty.
That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. There is no substitute for seeing with one’s own eyes. I will attempt to do so.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens. Local elders still practice weaving with artful wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren.
My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, and in the mornings, Dad would cook us a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. I sat in a small boat in the middle of the lake, with fishing pole moving slowly in my impatient hands, and held my bored tongue while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had the opportunity to paddle on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst (喀斯特) mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing.
I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home.

D．To suggest that his trip in Guizhou takes him back to his childhood.
24．What does the author think of his life in Guizhou
A．Inevitable. B．Favorable.
C．Demanding. D．Astonishing.

As of Sunday, Palo Alto High School and 19 other student-led teams have been on an eight-day, 1, 400-mile trip for the 30th annual Solar Car Challenge. Students from across the country built roadworthy solar cars and are driving them on freeways from the starting point in Fort Worth, Texas, to Palmdale, California.
The Palo Alto team, made up of 13 juniors, spent six months building their car, which they’ve named “The Beast”. At the end of each school day, students would meet at an off-campus workshop to work. The work typically involved late nights to problem-solve.
The Beast has three wheels on an ATV system that the students fixed to an open metal frame. Its flat roof is completely covered with solar panels. The car’s electric motor can go up to 50 mph, but the team is driving it at about 20 to 30 mph. The Solar Car Challenge is not a race. The winning team is the one that shows the most strategy and efficiency by covering the most total miles.
“The world sort of caught up to us,” said Lehman Marks, founder of the Solar Car Challenge, and also a retired physics teacher. He started the challenge in 1993 to develop students’ interest in science and engineering. At that time, electric cars were rare. But they have since become more efficient and affordable. With help from government green energy initiatives (倡议), electric vehicles are even projected to outsell gasoline-powered cars by 2050.
Marks’ program has grown as well. The Solar Car Challenge now includes 261 teams in 39 states, in addition to Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Spain and Singapore. “Though with no cash prizes, we’re spinning (编织) dreams for these kids,” he said.
This year, he expects 200, 000 people will come out to watch the high schoolers drive their solar vehicles across the southwestern US.
25．Which can best describe the work of designing “The Beast”
A．Painstaking. B．Conventional.
C．Money-consuming. D．Highly-competitive.
26．What feature does the winning car of the team have
A．The fastest speed. B．The least gas consumption.
C．The strongest motor power. D．The longest efficient driving miles.
27．What is the original aim of the Solar Car Challenge
A．To catch up to the global tendency. B．To encourage the use of clean energy.
C．To pick out talents with creative thinking. D．To inspire love for science and engineering.
28．What can we know about the Solar Car Challenge
A．It offers cash rewards. B．It lasts a week.
C．It is an international project. D．It was founded by the government.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”

There once lived a woman who had been blind for decades. Then one day, she found a doctor who treated the woman with a new device she had invented called the Laserphaco Probe. For the first time in over 30 years, the woman could regain her eyesight. The doctor responsible for this life-changing surgery was called Dr. Patricia E. Bath.
Dr. Bath was an American ophthalmologist (眼科医生), researcher, and an advocate for the prevention, treatment, and cure of blindness. She had an interest in science and medicine from a young age, which she said was first evoked by a chemistry kit her mother had bought for her when she was young.
During a fellowship at Columbia University, Dr. Bath realized that African Americans were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other patients she attended to. This observation led to her development of a community ophthalmology system, which increased the amount of eye care given to underserved communities. This allowed thousands of people to get early preventative care for conditions that would have otherwise been untreated, saving the eyesight of many.
Dr. Bath also invented a new technique to remove cataracts (白内障) by the Laserphaco Probe. This technique is still used around the world, and it has allowed doctors to restore patients eyesight in a more precise, and less painful manner than techniques before it.
Cataracts develop as people age. They form when the proteins in the lens (晶状体) of the eye break down, making the lens cloudy. This can significantly affect vision. Traditional cataract surgery involved removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. However, this surgery was not always successful, and could be quite painful. Dr. Bath succeeded in solving the problem.
Dr. Bath made innovative contributions to the field of medicine which had long-lasting impacts on the communities she served.
33．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “evoked” in paragraph 2
A．Displayed. B．Decreased. C．Stimulated. D．Maintained.
34．Why did Dr. Bath create a community ophthalmology system
A．To offer eye care treatment to the poor.
B．To help the blind regain their eyesight.
C．To provide eye surgery for African Americans.
D．To give real care to blind people.
35．What can we say about Dr. Bath’s device
A．It prevents proteins in the lens breaking down.
B．It needs to be advertised around the world.
C．It helps patients avoid getting cataracts.
D．It makes cataract surgery better than before.
36．What would be the main idea for the text
A．A woman improved vision for millions.
B．An inventor changed the face of science.
C．A doctor had various medical skills.
D．A researcher advocated the well-being of the poor.

In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a camp site for the programme.
But on the first day of camp, despite my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their tennis rackets. Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to persuade even one to open a book. Mylea told me they would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home than learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.
That evening, tired as I was, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To stress praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.
In the following days, these children, once in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story and playing tennis.
One day, Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight ” Looking up at her eager face, I couldn’t help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It’s all yours!” I overjoyed.

A．The author was a teacher of a high school.
B．Volunteers from local schools donated a lot of money.
C．Local schools invited the author to plan a reading camp.
D．The author made good preparations for the programme.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow (影子) , his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex(复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of (摆脱) this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
41．Where does Simon Beck create art
A．On maps. B．On canvas. C．On soccer fields. D．On snowfields.
42．Why did Beck create his first drawing
A．To have fun. B．To prove his talent.
C．To entertain the skiers. D．To develop a new hobby.
43．How did Beck feel about his first artwork
A．Surprised. B．Unsatisfied. C．Annoyed. D．Indifferent.
44．What contributed to Beck’s art creation
A．His passion for skiing. B．His competitive nature.
C．His dream to be an artist. D．His experience of making maps.

A quick walk onto a frozen pond (池塘) could have been a disaster for these two boys.
Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree more. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.
First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Believing the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound and no crack”, he told the reporter. “I just fell through immediately.”

Nyota had just arrived at the school’s track and put on her volunteer name tag when her best friend, Lily, came up. “I’m sorry that you can’t participate in the track meet today,” said Lily.
“I am, too,” Nyota replied, looking at the track in front of her. Nyota had fallen and fractured her wrist the previous week while training for the long jump, so she was volunteering to sell refreshments instead of competing along with her teammates.
Nyota wished Lily good luck and watched her friend run over to the track as spectators started to arrive. Nyota knew she should head over to the stand, but she kept staring at the place where she had fallen. “What’s the point of being here ” Nyota thought to herself.
Just then, she heard a friendly voice behind her say, “Hello, Nyota! Can you help me find a seat ” It was Mrs. Ogaz, Lily’s grandmother, whom Nyota knew well. “I want to sit up high so I can see, but I need help going up the stairs.”
“I would love to help you, Mrs. Ogaz,” replied Nyota.
Mrs. Ogaz leaned on Nyota’s good arm as they carefully climbed up the bleachers to a spot with a great view of the finish line. “Thank you so much! You’re very helpful.” Mrs. Ogaz’s comment lifted Nyota’s spirits.
Nyota hurried over to the stand and started selling soft drinks. Before she knew it, the track meet was over. After the last winner had accepted his ribbon, the principal made an announcement to thank all of the student volunteers who had helped out at the meet.

When White met the pit bull puppy in 2018, Darby was young, playful, strong as an ox. Then, in the summer of 2019, came Darby’s date with destiny.
White was fishing in Northern Caledonia’s Bodega Bay. He left Darby, then a year old and 100 pounds, in the parked car with windows down, while he cast his line a few yards away. The fish weren’t biting, White recall, until, suddenly, they were.
At first, White thought he had hooked a stingray. But as he reeled (绕线) it in, he realized it was a sevengill shark, about 6 feet long. Not uncommon but still dangerous He brought it close and carefully unhooked it, expecting it to swim away. It didn’t. The shark bit his ankle.
“All of a sudden there was blood everywhere,” says White. He yelled for help, hoping the fishermen down the beach could hear. But they didn’t seem to know what was going on. Fortunately, Darby did. He jumped out of the car and ran toward the water. He ran right up to the shark and sank his teeth into its gills (鱼鳃).
“That just made the shark bite down harder,” White says. Darby backed off, then regrouped and attacked the shark’s tail. The shark released its grip (紧抓), and White managed to push it into shallow water, where it swam off. “The whole thing took less than a minute,” White says, “but it left plenty of damage.” White was able to stop the bleeding and get to a hospital, where he learned that the wound was very severe.

I’m a recovering addict. I was addicted to YouTube.
My addiction started several years ago. My first experience was on the recommendation of a friend to check out Susan Boyle’s amazing singing on Britain’s Got Talent. I didn’t think much about it and got on with my life.
But soon I found myself spending a lot of time staring at the screen and discovered onscreen offerings were truly endless. From one YouTuber I learned how to plant my own vegetable garden. Someone else gave wise sayings from philosophers. Down the rabbit hole I went, for hours and hours, watching other people living their lives and giving me advice on how to live mine.
As the months rolled by, checking in every day with people who were talking to me personally (or so it seemed) became an addiction. I subscribed to (订阅) many channels and waited anxiously for new weekly offerings. I found all this calming and therapeutic.
At some point, though, I got annoyed by these artistic and seemingly perfect lives. Who are filming them Do they happen to live in a meadow (草地) The questions started to disturb me while forcing comparisons with my own somewhat more ordinary existence.
Regardless of my growing anxiety, I continued to click on the YouTube icon on my phone whenever I had a spare five minutes. I compared my life constantly with the images onscreen. I started to hate the endless rules presented for good health, financial stability and mental contentment. In a moment of clarity (清晰), I realized that I had a full and happy life myself, which suited me perfectly although it wouldn’t win awards for perfection onscreen. I put my phone away and started paying attention to my own life, instead of watching other people live theirs. I still like checking in once in a while for some entertainment and inspiration, but I’ve limited my exposure. I am content in the knowledge that my addiction to life onscreen has been replaced by life itself.

A few years ago, I moved to a window office and sent an email letting everyone know. In the email, I jokingly invited everyone to come by for a “tour” of the new space.
I was in a meeting that morning and when I got back to my office, I saw a box on my desk. There was a note on it, saying, “Happy new office!” The person didn’t sign it. I was so happy with that. I didn’t feel like I should help anyone or that someone was trying to get something from me. In fact, I found myself thanking everyone in the office. It was completely different from what I did on the beach the other day.
The water was coming in. Two nice chairs were about to be taken out by the waves. The owners were nowhere to be seen, so I moved the chairs again and again as the waves rose. When the couple who owned the chairs showed up. I couldn’t help myself. I went over, pointed to the waves, and said. “A couple of hours ago, your chairs were out there.”
“Oh, thanks so much for pulling them in,” said the guy. “We just realized they were out here and thought they had probably gotten washed away.”
“Don’t worry about it,” I said, as I walked away. Then these words came to my mind, “You have your reward.”
Then I realized when I went over to the couple, I was looking for something. If they hadn’t shown anything after I told what I had done, it would have upset me. In our life, people who show their good deeds are always looking for a reward and they resent those who don’t celebrate their generosity.
However, when we experience the pleasure of giving without letting the other know, we do more than show kindness. We’re just giving to communicate an invaluable message, “You’re loved. You’re important to someone and it has nothing to do with what you can give in return.”
61．How did the author feel when she saw the box
A．Nervous and thankful. B．Bored and painful.

D．She didn’t think the couple liked the chairs.
63．Which word can replace the underlined word “resent” in paragraph 6
A．Avoid. B．Hate. C．Love D．Persuade.
64．What does the author advise us to do through the text
A．Do what we can to help more people.
B．Show love to someone important to you.
C．Show kindness to those who dislike you.
D．Give without expecting anything in return.

When I was a little girl, a couple in our community went through a tragedy. They lost a young child and were in deep despair. Shortly afterward, my mother ran into the father at the local supermarket. He turned to my mother and said, “Your husband saved our life. He was the one more than anyone else who helped us get through this incredible loss.”
My mother wanted to know what message of solace was given to lift them from the depths of despair. So back at home, she asked my father about their conversation numerous times, but my father insisted that he had said nothing.
A few weeks later the couple came over to our home. After sitting down for a few minutes, my mother gently said, “You told me that my husband helped you the most when you went through your awful sadness. What did he say ”
The man paused. He then gave the secret of my father’s consolation (慰藉).
“Rebbetzin, your husband did not say one word. He just came over to our home and walked over to me without saying anything. And then he reached over to me, took my hands into his and hugged me. I looked up and saw tears falling from his eyes. You cannot imagine what that felt like. Your husband felt my pain. I was not sitting alone with my suffering.”
My mother was quiet, absorbing the message this man was giving.
“No, your husband did not speak. I didn’t need him to give me words. I needed his heart and soul.”
When I recall this story, I realize the truth.
When having someone in our lives who is going through difficulty, we are often at a loss. What do we say How do we make it all better What is the greatest gift we can give to our loved ones
We tend to think that we must fill space with words. But when you want to give of yourself, give a listening heart. Sometimes a person in pain needs you to stay silent. Just show that you are there for them. Perhaps you can’t fix anything or take away the pain, but you can feel it. With the silence comes sympathy, understanding and empathy (共鸣). And you share the load.

The most valuable thing I ever lost was a pair of diamond earrings I bought many years ago at a charity auction (拍卖会). Though very beautiful, they were heavy and turned out to be painful to wear. I wrote about the lost earrings in my new children’s book, The Christmas Pig. When they reach the Land of the Lost, where the hero must go to rescue his most beloved toy, my earrings are angry that they aren’t treated with the respect they think they deserve. They soon find out that being made of diamonds counts for very little in the strange world where human-made objects go when lost, because a thing’s importance there depends on how much it’s truly loved.
The Christmas Pig explores a deep attachment to an old object. It’s about the journey of a boy, Jack, who is a little lost himself but discovers his bravery and ability to love in a strange world. Of all the books I’ve written, this is the one that made me cry the most, because I was dealing with emotions that run deep in all of us. Loss and change are hard for children, and acceptance of these unavoidable parts of life isn’t much easier for adults. The Christmas Pig shows how human beings-even small, lost ones-are capable of wonderful, heroic acts.
A very strange thing happened on the day I finished editing The Christmas Pig. After emailing the final version to my editor, I set about clearing out a cupboard. The last object I picked up was a small box. I opened it. There were my long-lost diamond earrings. I’ve decided to sell them and give the money to a charity. I think it will be a nice ending for my earrings’ story to have them do some good for children in the Land of the Living.

“I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.
Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”
Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.
Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.
While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the aftereffects of major surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grownups alike in how to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph l refer to

D．That he would be discharged from the hospital.
2．Why did Jake Ryan write Dear Diary Franklin
A．To share a personal journey of recovery.
B．To provide support for parents after surgery.
C．To explore the challenges of post-surgery life.
D．To offer guidance for children with sick parents.
3．What can we learn about Hannah Brody from the text
A．She terrifies her friends away. B．She buys what is told to her.
C．She changes her father’s routine. D．She suffers lots of hardships.
4．What is the text
A．A news report. B．A child’s diary.
C．An advertisement. D．A book review.
1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过讲述Jake Ryan自己的经历来讲述Dear Diary Franklin这本书诞生的原因以及具体内容以及意义。
1．词句猜测题。根据后文“After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.(在他的心脏直视手术后，他即将进入一段不同的、艰难的身体和情感恢复之路)”可知，it代指后文提到的他会经历一段艰难的康复期。故选C项。
2．细节理解题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.(我记得我当时在想，我多么希望包裹里有一本书能指导我如何在手术后成为一名父亲。没有，但正是出于这个想法，这本书诞生了)”可知，Ryan写这本是为了为术后父母提供支持。故选B项。
3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but.

Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.(通过她的日记，读者可以听到汉娜在应对父亲手术带来的愤怒、恐惧和困惑时的感受和挫折。他们对我隐瞒了什么 为什么 她反复听到“一切都会好起来的”这句老生常谈，以至于她什么都不想。她自己的翻译是：“正常结束了。”虽然她的父亲尽他最大的努力让一切尽可能正常，但你可以想象，他的恢复是缓慢的，他的日常生活也发生了变化。与此同时，学校的问题和汉娜的位置对一些人来说是一个可怕的社会宇宙——她几乎没有朋友)”可知，汉娜在应对父亲手术时，有愤怒、恐惧和困惑时的感受和挫折，以及在学校时她几乎没有朋友，所以她受了很多苦。故选D项。
4．推理判断题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.(我记得我当时在想，我多么希望包裹里有一本书能指导我如何在手术后成为一名父亲。没有，但正是出于这个想法，这本书诞生了)”以及第三段“Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.(Dear Diary Franklin是一部以11岁的汉娜·布罗迪(Hannah Brody)的声音写成的小说，她的父亲突然瘫倒在健身房的地板上，需要紧急治疗。这本书以日记的形式写成，让读者深入到年轻女主角的头脑和内心)”可知，本段主要介绍了Dear Diary Franklin这本书，所以推知应是一篇书评。故选D项。

When I got home after dropping out of college in my junior year because of depression, I didn’t want to get out of bed every day. But my parents wanted me to, so I just removed myself from the living room to the couch. Sometimes I would turn on the TV and watch marathons, but mostly I just sat there, lost in thought.
One day when I was lying on the couch, not knowing what to do, I thought since I had been out of school for a long time, I had better do something productive in my life. I looked at what I could do. I could attend online college classes, go to in-person events just to get out of the house, or take up a hobby. But none of these things made me happy, and my depression seemed to follow me inseparably.
However, there was something that was my thing. No matter what kind of day I’m having now, the mere mention of start-ups still cheers me up. I have been doing business in some kinds of forms ever since I was a kid, and despite everything, this enthusiasm has always been in my heart.
So I started thinking of ideas, seeing which one could become practical. I spent my days being glued to a wide purple notebook and a pen in hand, sometimes moving from the couch to the table on our back porch (门廊) in the mornings. If I got up early enough, I’d watch the sun come up. It was there, in the still mornings, that I learned about life and started to look back on mine.
With time going on, the depression started to lift. I was making more progress in my recovery, and the good days were more frequent than the bad. I started a couple of different businesses, eventually settling on a web design business, and did a lot of experiments, which changed my ideas. After a period of time, things started to work.

According to political Hannah Arendt, “If we do not know our own history, we are doomed (注定) to live it as though it were our private fate (命运).” Historians proudly claim that their subject has played a role in sweeping social and political movements, and I agree. But more than that, I believe that the study of history holds the power to help people understand themselves.
I’m a history professor. At a course on women’s history, one of my students, angry about the reduced funds available for men’s wrestling, announced the topic of his research paper: a criticism of the laws guaranteeing women equal access to sports. Later, I told the class about my recent junior high school reunion. A former classmate said her daughters asked about her own sports’ history, “Were you on the basketball team, Mom ” When told that there were no such teams for girls at that time, they asked, “Well, what did you do ” She replied, shamefully, “We cheered for the boys.”
The angry student told me after the class that the realities and impact of the old days of unequal access to sports had never occurred to him. Through an understanding of the past, he saw women’s sports—in fact women’s rights and women in general-in a new and far more favorable light.
History can offer personal freedom. My female students are ashamed of their doubt about their appearance. They know they shouldn’t starve themselves, and shouldn’t force themselves to look like the models in the magazines. The study of history shows that they have these wrong thoughts not because they are weak individuals, but because, like the generations of women and men before them, they are the targets of powerful social practices.
They send me notes, “I’m not treating myself unkindly anymore.” “This class changed my life.” “I understand my wife better now.” Every day I see the power of history to transform lives.

The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,”says Bradshaw with pride —and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.
The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land —as well as Natural England, which manages it —sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.
At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost E10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.
“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”
“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”
13．What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants
A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease.
C．Collecting their data. D．Directing farmers to grow plants.
14．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale
A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund.
C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep
15．What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph
A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work.
C．Youthful at heart,regardless of age, D．Advance what the forerunners began.
16．Which might be a suitable title for the text
A．Teesdale:Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers
C．Bradshaw:A97-Year-Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。
13．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.”（布拉德肖从20世纪50年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物，并见证了它们的大幅减少。她的数据是第一个证明这一点的人，也证明了对此采取措施的必要性。）可知，布拉德肖在珍稀植物方面的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C项。
14．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000,as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow.”（这些植物减少的主要原因是一个不寻常的原因。到2000年，提斯代尔的羊数量减少了一半，因为人们普遍认为高地上羊太多了。布拉德肖说，虽然羊在一些高地地区被猎杀，但在提斯代尔减少放牧是具有破坏性的。较长的草遮住了娇弱的花朵，带走了它们生长所需的光。）可推知，没有足够的羊导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A项。
15．推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可推知，从最后一段布拉德肖的话中我们能了解到，她希望推进先行者开创这个事业。故选D项。
16．主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“我意识到我年纪越来越大了，我一直在努力让更多的人接手并做记录。他们不相信我不会永远在这里，”布拉德肖说。尽管布拉德肖守护着这片土地，她为拯救这片土地付出了爱和精力，但这里的未来仍是未知的。她书中的最后几句话讲述了这种无尽的失落。“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可知，文章主要讲的是97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。故文章最好的标题是“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”。故选B项。

John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and solving problems stood out early. At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he might lead a poor life being a mathematician, and he and his father reached an agreement, and von Neumann went to study chemistry. In 1926, at 23, he received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D．in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.
In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1930, the Institute for Advanced Study was formed, and in 1933 he became one of the 6 full-time professors in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).
World War Ⅱ (1931 — 1945) hugely changed von Neumann’s areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure mathematician. After 1940, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematical theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in machines and made several fundamental computing contributions. After the war, von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died of cancer in 1957.
Von Neumann made several great contributions and any one of them would have been enough to earn him a firm place in history. He is remembered as one of the greatest minds of the 20th century.
Von Neumann really is a legend in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of his legend. He reported one accident this way: “I was driving down the road. The trees on the right were passing me in an orderly fashion at 60 miles per hour. Suddenly one of them stepped in my path.”
17．What did von Neumann’s father believe according to the text
A．A mathematician couldn’t earn a lot of money.
B．A mathematician needed a good memory.
C．Von Neumann had the ability to learn two subjects at the same time.
D．Von Neumann had the gift for solving problems at a high speed.

Having grown up in northern Arizona with the immortal Grand Canyon and the iron red plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. Towering mountain titans, a cozy valley and an infinite blue sky promised fantastic potential for exploration. For me, no newly discovered sights or foreign landscapes can compare with its beauty.
That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. There is no substitute for seeing with one’s own eyes. I will attempt to do so.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artwork of the Bouyei ethnic group. They use dyes produced from local plants to make clothing of striking blues and greens. Local elders still practice weaving with artful wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren.
My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. We would compete to catch the largest fish, and in the mornings, Dad would cook us a basic breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast. I sat in a small boat in the middle of the lake, with fishing pole moving slowly in my impatient hands, and held my bored tongue while my father attempted to share with me the whispers of the wind, a fish dancing on the surface of the lake or the majesty of a hawk hunting for prey overhead. On my trip to Guizhou I had the opportunity to paddle on Wanfeng lake. At one point I rested, floating at the center of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and taking in the surrounding karst (喀斯特) mountains. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing.
I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home.
21．What do we know about the author’s hometown
A．Situated in the north of US, it is home to Grand Canyon.
B．It has varied landscapes, ranging from plateau to valley.
C．Apparently, there’s no comparison in terms of beauty.
D．The author spent his childhood and adulthood in his hometown.
22．What does the underlined word “substitute” probably mean in paragraph 2
A．Experience. B．Replacement.
C．Objection. D．Agreement.
23．What is the purpose of paragraph 4
A．To express his regret not listening to his father attentively.
B．To recall the most unforgettable experience with his family.
C．To compare the trip on Wangfeng lake with his former fishing trips.
D．To suggest that his trip in Guizhou takes him back to his childhood.
24．What does the author think of his life in Guizhou
A．Inevitable. B．Favorable.
C．Demanding. D．Astonishing.
21．B 22．B 23．D 24．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。 文章讲述一个美国人对中国山水和人文的依恋。
21．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Having grown up in northern Arizona with the immortal Grand Canyon and the iron red plateaus of Sedona in my backyard, I believed that the southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscapes on the planet. (我在亚利桑那州北部长大，在我的后院有不朽的大峡谷和铁红色的塞多纳高原，我相信这个西南部的州是地球上最美丽的风景的家园。)”可知，作者的家乡拥有从高原到山谷的各种景观。故选B。
22．词句猜测题。根据前文“That is, until I was invited to explore Guizhou province by the China Storyteller Partnerships Tour. Had someone vividly described how beautiful Guizhou can be in poetic detail, they would not have done it exactly. ( 直到“中国故事共创会活动”带我走进贵州，贵州之行让我仿佛回到故乡。贵州的美曾在诗句中有所体现。)”可知，作者在去贵州之前知道贵州的美曾在诗句中体现，直到他去了贵州，才体会到去了贵州就如同回到了自己美丽的家乡，因此推断划线句句意：没有亲身体会是无法感知到的，也就是说没有什么可替代。划线词与B项“代替”意思相近。故选B。
23．推理判断题。第四段第一句“My father used to drag my brothers and me on yearly fishing trips around Arizona. ( 我父亲过去每年都会拉着我和兄弟们去亚利桑那州钓鱼。)”提到了作者的父亲带作者去钓鱼，接下来描述了当时与父亲在一起钓鱼的经历和作者贵州之行的经历，结合最后一句“I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father while fishing. (我想起了我的童年，真希望我在钓鱼的时候能更仔细地听父亲的话。)”可推断，本段的目的是表明贵州之行让作者回忆起自己的童年时光。故选D。
24．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I’ve lived away from Arizona for 10 long years, carving my own destiny in China. I’ve managed to build myself a family, a career, a livelihood, and various projects. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt home. (离开亚利桑那州10 年之久，我来到中国重塑新生，建立了自己的家庭和事业，参与过各种活动，似乎已经拥有了我所需要的一切。徜徉在贵州的那一刻，我仿佛回到故乡，重温往日美好。)”可推断，对于在贵州的生活，作者是称赞的。故选B。

As of Sunday, Palo Alto High School and 19 other student-led teams have been on an eight-day, 1, 400-mile trip for the 30th annual Solar Car Challenge. Students from across the country built roadworthy solar cars and are driving them on freeways from the starting point in Fort Worth, Texas, to Palmdale, California.
The Palo Alto team, made up of 13 juniors, spent six months building their car, which they’ve named “The Beast”. At the end of each school day, students would meet at an off-campus workshop to work. The work typically involved late nights to problem-solve.
The Beast has three wheels on an ATV system that the students fixed to an open metal frame. Its flat roof is completely covered with solar panels. The car’s electric motor can go up to 50 mph, but the team is driving it at about 20 to 30 mph. The Solar Car Challenge is not a race. The winning team is the one that shows the most strategy and efficiency by covering the most total miles.
“The world sort of caught up to us,” said Lehman Marks, founder of the Solar Car Challenge, and also a retired physics teacher. He started the challenge in 1993 to develop students’ interest in science and engineering. At that time, electric cars were rare. But they have since become more efficient and affordable. With help from government green energy initiatives (倡议), electric vehicles are even projected to outsell gasoline-powered cars by 2050.
Marks’ program has grown as well. The Solar Car Challenge now includes 261 teams in 39 states, in addition to Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, the Bahamas, Spain and Singapore. “Though with no cash prizes, we’re spinning (编织) dreams for these kids,” he said.
This year, he expects 200, 000 people will come out to watch the high schoolers drive their solar vehicles across the southwestern US.
25．Which can best describe the work of designing “The Beast”
A．Painstaking. B．Conventional.
C．Money-consuming. D．Highly-competitive.
26．What feature does the winning car of the team have
A．The fastest speed. B．The least gas consumption.
C．The strongest motor power. D．The longest efficient driving miles.
27．What is the original aim of the Solar Car Challenge
A．To catch up to the global tendency. B．To encourage the use of clean energy.
C．To pick out talents with creative thinking. D．To inspire love for science and engineering.
28．What can we know about the Solar Car Challenge
A．It offers cash rewards. B．It lasts a week.
C．It is an international project. D．It was founded by the government.

As a child, there was nothing I liked better than Sunday afternoons at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and field provided endless hours of fun for a city kid like me.
Since my first visit to the farm, I had wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls surrounding the houses. My parents would never agree because the walls were so old that some stones were loose and falling. However, my idea to climb across those walls grew so strong that finally I had all my courage to enter the living room, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want to climb the stone walls.” I said. “Heavens, no! You’ll hurt yourself!” The response was just as I’d expected. But before I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”
“Go,” he said to me, “and come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those old walls—and had the time of my life. Later I met with my grandfather to tell him about my adventures. I’ll never forget what he said. “Fred,” he said, smiling, “you made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you, and I like you exactly as you are.”
Many years have passed since then, and today I host the television program Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, seen by millions of children throughout America. There have been changes over the years, but one thing remains the same: my message to children at the end of almost every visit. “There’s only one person in this whole world like you,” the kids will hear me say, “and people can like you exactly as you are.”
29．Why did the writer enjoy his visits to the farm
A．He missed his grandfather. B．There were old stone houses.
C．He could experience new fun there. D．He was allowed to climb the stone walls.
30．What can we learn from the passage
A．The writer didn’t know the possible danger of the stone walls.
B．The writer’s grandfather backed him up to follow his own heart.
C．The writer became a TV program host due to his grandfather’s influence.
D．The writer didn’t expect his parents’ disagreement with his climbing the walls.
31．Which word can be used to describe the grandfather
A．Adventurous. B．Open-minded. C．Tricky. D．Humorous.

There once lived a woman who had been blind for decades. Then one day, she found a doctor who treated the woman with a new device she had invented called the Laserphaco Probe. For the first time in over 30 years, the woman could regain her eyesight. The doctor responsible for this life-changing surgery was called Dr. Patricia E. Bath.
Dr. Bath was an American ophthalmologist (眼科医生), researcher, and an advocate for the prevention, treatment, and cure of blindness. She had an interest in science and medicine from a young age, which she said was first evoked by a chemistry kit her mother had bought for her when she was young.
During a fellowship at Columbia University, Dr. Bath realized that African Americans were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other patients she attended to. This observation led to her development of a community ophthalmology system, which increased the amount of eye care given to underserved communities. This allowed thousands of people to get early preventative care for conditions that would have otherwise been untreated, saving the eyesight of many.
Dr. Bath also invented a new technique to remove cataracts (白内障) by the Laserphaco Probe. This technique is still used around the world, and it has allowed doctors to restore patients eyesight in a more precise, and less painful manner than techniques before it.
Cataracts develop as people age. They form when the proteins in the lens (晶状体) of the eye break down, making the lens cloudy. This can significantly affect vision. Traditional cataract surgery involved removing the cloudy lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. However, this surgery was not always successful, and could be quite painful. Dr. Bath succeeded in solving the problem.
Dr. Bath made innovative contributions to the field of medicine which had long-lasting impacts on the communities she served.
33．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “evoked” in paragraph 2

A．To offer eye care treatment to the poor.
B．To help the blind regain their eyesight.
C．To provide eye surgery for African Americans.
D．To give real care to blind people.
35．What can we say about Dr. Bath’s device
A．It prevents proteins in the lens breaking down.
B．It needs to be advertised around the world.
C．It helps patients avoid getting cataracts.
D．It makes cataract surgery better than before.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国眼科医生 Patricia E.Bath的生平以及她在眼科领域的巨大贡献。
33．词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词前“She had an interest in science and medicine from a young age,...(她从小就对科学和医学产生了兴趣……)”和划线词后“... a chemistry kit her mother had bought for her when she was young. (……母亲在她小的时候给她买的一个化学试剂盒)”可知，这一兴趣最初是被她母亲买给她的一个化学试剂盒激发的，可推测“evoked”一在句中的含义为与C项“激发”意思相近。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段“During a fellowship at Columbia University, Dr. Bath realized that African Americans were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other patients she attended to. This observation led to her development of a community ophthalmology system, which increased the amount of eye care given to underserved communities. (在哥伦比亚大学担任研究员期间，Bath博士意识到，非裔美国人患失明的可能性是她治疗过的其他病人的两倍。这一观察促使她发展了一个社区眼科系统，增加了对服务不足社区的眼科护理)”可知Bath博士建立社区眼科系统的原因是非裔美国人患失明的可能性更高，且他们居住的社区眼科护理不足，即他们生活条件比较贫苦，所以A选项“To offer eye care treatment to the poor. (为穷人提供眼部护理)”是她的原因。故选A。
35．推理判断题。根据第四段“This technique is still used around the world, and it has allowed doctors to restore patients eyesight in a more precise, and less painful manner than techniques before it. (这项技术至今仍在世界各地使用，它使医生能够以比以前的技术更精确、更少痛苦的方式恢复病人的视力)”和第五段“Dr. Bath succeeded in solving the problem. (Bath博士成功地解决了这个问题)”可知，Bath博士的发明使得去除白内障的技术更准确，更能减少痛苦。故选D。
36．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了美国的 Patricia E.Bath在眼科领域的巨大贡献，她建立了社区眼科系统，发明了去除白内障的技术，改善了数百万人的视力。所以A项“A woman improved vision for millions. (一名女士改善了数百万人视力)”为文章主旨。故选A。

In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a camp site for the programme.
But on the first day of camp, despite my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their tennis rackets. Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during the reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to persuade even one to open a book. Mylea told me they would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home than learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.
That evening, tired as I was, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To stress praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.
In the following days, these children, once in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story and playing tennis.
One day, Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight ” Looking up at her eager face, I couldn’t help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It’s all yours!” I overjoyed.

For the creatively minded, snow represents a large blank canvas (空白画布) for art. But often, it’s limited to snowmen or other snow statues. Simon Beck had a different idea, and over the course of a decade he has carved a path for himself in the snow art world. He creates large land art by walking across soccer-field-sized areas covered in untouched bined with light and shadow (影子) , his artistic designs can only be fully appreciated when viewed from above.
Beck, 59, a former map maker turned into a snow artist, thanks to his decision late in life to pursue his hobby.
“It started just as a joke one day really,” Beck explained. “After skiing one day, I decided to make a drawing on snow to seek pleasure...”
“I really had no idea how good it would look when I made that first drawing, but it really went beyond my expectation,” he said of his first ever creation that he looked down on from a ski lift.
To create this work, Beck stepped his way through the snow using only snowshoes and a ski pole for measurement with nothing else but the image of a design idea in his head. It was not challenging at all due to his previous work experience. But as his designs developed and became more complex(复杂的), Beck said he began to start drawing them on paper first.
Beck’s paintings have become a huge hit since his work was first shared.
“Most of the time I had been doing failed careers, and people around me are asking what's the quickest way of getting rid of (摆脱) this person,” Beck said. “And for the first time, I felt people actually wanted me. I felt like a more valued member of society.”
41．Where does Simon Beck create art
A．On maps. B．On canvas. C．On soccer fields. D．On snowfields.
42．Why did Beck create his first drawing
A．To have fun. B．To prove his talent.
C．To entertain the skiers. D．To develop a new hobby.
43．How did Beck feel about his first artwork
A．Surprised. B．Unsatisfied. C．Annoyed. D．Indifferent.
44．What contributed to Beck’s art creation
A．His passion for skiing. B．His competitive nature.
C．His dream to be an artist. D．His experience of making maps.

A quick walk onto a frozen pond (池塘) could have been a disaster for these two boys.
Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree more. Were the birds out on the ice ducks or geese There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening last year, the two friends walked onto the frozen pond near their homes to get a better look.
First, they threw a rock onto the ice to test it. Believing the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, and then he crashed through the seemingly frozen surface. “There was no sound and no crack”, he told the reporter. “I just fell through immediately.”

Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he took a nearby buoy (浮标), kicked off his shoes, and ran into the water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and drew them back to land. They were taken to hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.
Luckily, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still a little awestruck (敬畏的) by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Cruz, “if he hadn’t been there, I could have died.”

Nyota had just arrived at the school’s track and put on her volunteer name tag when her best friend, Lily, came up. “I’m sorry that you can’t participate in the track meet today,” said Lily.
“I am, too,” Nyota replied, looking at the track in front of her. Nyota had fallen and fractured her wrist the previous week while training for the long jump, so she was volunteering to sell refreshments instead of competing along with her teammates.
Nyota wished Lily good luck and watched her friend run over to the track as spectators started to arrive. Nyota knew she should head over to the stand, but she kept staring at the place where she had fallen. “What’s the point of being here ” Nyota thought to herself.

“I would love to help you, Mrs. Ogaz,” replied Nyota.
Mrs. Ogaz leaned on Nyota’s good arm as they carefully climbed up the bleachers to a spot with a great view of the finish line. “Thank you so much! You’re very helpful.” Mrs. Ogaz’s comment lifted Nyota’s spirits.

“That just made the shark bite down harder,” White says. Darby backed off, then regrouped and attacked the shark’s tail. The shark released its grip (紧抓), and White managed to push it into shallow water, where it swam off. “The whole thing took less than a minute,” White says, “but it left plenty of damage.” White was able to stop the bleeding and get to a hospital, where he learned that the wound was very severe.
