The Fitting-in of Suzy Khan
The first time I saw Suzy Khan, I knew I had to help her. She was really small for her age of 12. The boys in my class often 31 about her and laughed their heads off. She would open a book, pretending to read, with tears dropping on the open page.
All I knew was that she was an orphan (孤儿) from Africa. She had just been adopted by a family in town who 32 that the best way for her to learn American ways of life was to be with American kids. I looked down at this 33 girl and promised myself that somehow I would help her.

One day, when I went into the classroom, I saw that Suzy had 36 her geography book to a picture of a train, and in her notebook, she had made a(n) 37 copy.
I was surprised and thought that she could do something in the coming 38 show. So, I took her to see the art teacher, Miss Parker, and showed her what Suzy had 39 . “why, it’s wonderful!” said Miss Parker, who then showed us a poster she had painted 40 the talent show. “I need more of these, but I just don’t have enough 41 .

Mr. Brown thanked her for all the wonderful posters and gave her a professional artist’s set. “Thank you.” she cried.
I 48 , at that time when I was looking at her excited face, she’d probably never 49 anything in her whole life.

Do you think cookies can tell stories Jasmine Cho, 35, does.
A baker, artist, entrepreneur and activist, Cho tries to spread knowledge about social justice issues and diversity through the delicious medium of cookies.
It was in high school that she discovered her love of baking. At a sleepover a friend taught her how to make a dessert, “sort of demystifying baking and that whole process”.
Later, Cho realized her second passion: learning more about her Asian-American culture. An elective in college that taught Asian-American immigrant experiences brought an emotional moment for her. “So many emotions came up that I just couldn’t articulate. It was like this mix of anger, of relief, empowerment, sadness...” Cho said.
Cho realized she could combine these two passions to educate others about influential Asian American people and showcase matters that were important to her. With her online bakery, she designed cookie portraits about people she admired and posted the images on Instagram. “I don’t think I ever really knew how to communicate these stories until I found cookies,” Cho said. “Cookies are just so disarming. Who doesn’t like cookies ”
One cookie that Cho has identified with deeply is one she made of George Helm, a Hawaiian activist in the 1970s.
“It’s the amount of injustice that the native Hawaiian population has faced as well through the whole annexation (吞并) of the kingdom. There were so many horrific stories that I heard about nuclear testing and the fallout ( 核爆炸后的沉降物) impacting native Hawaiian populations in all of this.” Cho said, “George Helm was one of those activists who really represented the spirituality of the native Hawaiians and the connection to their land, to nature.”
Among her amazing cookie art are other political figures such as Larry Itliong, a Filipino-American labor organizer, and pop culture figures such as Keanu Reeves, a Canadian actor.
Cho hopes her cookie art continues to inspire people to be creative and think positively.
“Instead of trying to think of something new and original, just look inward and see, maybe there’s already a passion or a love that you have.” Cho said. “Use that for something that will serve the world in a better way.”
56. What inspired Cho to take an interest in Asian-American culture
A. One of her sleepover experiences.
B. The process of learning baking from her friend.
C. One elective course she took at college.
D. A book she read about Asian-American immigrant experiences.
57. The underlined word “articulate” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ________.
A. get rid of B. express in words C. put up with D. stay focused
58. Why does Cho think cookies are a useful tool to promote Asian-American culture
A. Cookies are liked by many people. B. Cookies are easier to make.
C. Cookies have different images. D. Cookies don’t cost much.
59. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning George Helm in the passage
A. To inform the reader of Helm’s contributions to Hawaii.
B. To introduce the spirituality of native Hawaiians.
C. To show what knowledge Cho focuses on with her cookies.
D. To explain why Cho is interested in political activists.
60. What can best summarize the message contained in the passage
A. Think outside the box to break new ground.
B. Spread something original to one’s heart content.
C. Hold your horses for a better self.
D. Throw yourself into your inner world for a better one.
C
People who grow up outside of cities are better at finding their way around than urbanites, a large study on navigation suggests. The results, described online on March 30 in Nature, hint that learning to handle environmental complexity as a child strengthens mental muscles for spatial (空间的) skills.
Nearly 400,000 people from 38 countries around the world played a video game called Sea Hero Quest, designed by scientists and game developers as a fun way to collect data about people’s brains. Players piloted a boat in search of various targets.
On average, people who said they had grown up outside of cities, where they would have probably encountered lots of complicated paths, were better at finding the targets than people who were raised in cities.
What’s more, the difference between city residents and outsiders was most obvious in countries where cities tend to have simple layouts (布局), such as Chicago with its streets laid out at 90-degree angles. The simpler the cities, the bigger the advantage for people from more rural areas, cognitive (认知的) scientist Antoine Coutrot of CNRS and his colleagues report.
Still, from these video game data, scientists can’t definitively say that the childhood environment is behind the differences in navigation. But it’s possible. “As a kid, if you are exposed to a complex environment, you learn to find your way, and you develop the right cognitive processes to do so.” Coutrot says.
Other factors have been linked to navigational performance, including age, gender, education and even a superior sense of smell. Figuring out these details will give doctors a more precise baseline (基准) of a person’s navigational abilities. That, in turn, might help reveal when these skills weaken, as they do in early Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症), for instance.
61. What does the underlined word “urbanites” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. Those who live close to urban areas. B. Those who are from rural areas.
C. Those who long for urban life. D. Those who are raised in cities.
62. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By gathering data from the video game. B. By playing a game called Sea Hero Quest.
C. By recording electrical activities in brains. D. By comparing various targets of the game.
63. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 and 4
A. City outsiders performed no better than city residents in the study.
B. Cities’ simple layouts gave city residents an advantage in the game.
C. There was no significant difference between city residents and outsiders.
D. The players’ performance had something to do with their earlier experience.
64. Which of the following may Coutrot agree with
A. Gender and education are key to developing navigational abilities.
B. Childhood surroundings might affect people’s navigational abilities.
C. A superior sense of smell bears no relation to navigational abilities.
D. The study of navigational abilities can help cure Alzheimer’s disease.
65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How environment impacts early childhood development
B. Why is early childhood education important for our future
C. Where you grew up may shape your navigational skills
D. When is the best time to obtain your navigational skills
D
The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放) by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2026. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own—though extremely important—is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.
The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率), which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.
Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything, explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher, “consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design.” In other words, old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.
Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information, it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈) facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors, could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.
Social science research has added a further dimension (方面), suggesting that individuals’ behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted—whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器), for example.
Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.
66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of ________.
A. zero-carbon homes B. sustainable building design
C. the behaviour of building users D. the reduction of carbon emissions
67. The underlined word “which” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. existing efforts B. their homes C. developments D. the ways
68. What are Katy Janda’s words mainly about
A. The variety of consumption patterns of building users.
B. The importance of changing building users’ habits.
C. The necessity of making a careful building design.
D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.
69. The information gap in energy use
A. brings about problems for smart meters
B. affects the study on energy monitors
C. can be bridged by feedback facilities
D. will be caused by building users’ old habits
70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest
A. The social science research is to be furthered.
B. The education programme is under discussion.
C. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.
D. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.

It was a tough situation. At 8,700 meters above sea level, Zhang Hong and his team members faced a difficult decision. Based on the oxygen they had consumed, they might not have enough to reach the summit of Qomolangma. Should they press on or turn back
Zhang’s guide Chen Tao made a quick decision that he and the two photographers with the group should immediately withdraw and leave their oxygen tanks to Zhang to let him finish the climb to the summit of the mountain.
The wind was strong, and Zhang was terrified. The three Sherpa guides didn’t speak Chinese and their English instructions to Zhang were muffled by the high wind. And there was additional difficulty for Zhang — he can’t see.
To walk on a path was often hard for the Chinese mountaineer. And there was no actual path on the mountain. Zhang had to follow the guides’ directions precisely on every single step. The guides told him in which direction to go and the length of each step. But one mistake could cost Zhang’s life.
At first, Zhang didn’t want to continue. But Chen told Zhang “if you don’t continue, this may be the last chance you have to reach the top of Qomolangma, while I will still have more chances”. There was no time left for 46-year-old Zhang to argue with Chen and Chen gave Zhang a gentle nudge to hurry him on.
Zhang continued his climb with one guide in front of him and two behind. After several more hours’ climbing, the guide leading the way told Zhang that he was standing at the top of the mountain. Zhang was the first visually impaired person from Asia ever to conquer the world’s highest peak.
On the rock face of the mountain, Zhang etched his name alongside that of Erik Weihenmayer and Andy Holzer, who completed the feat in 2001 and 2017 respectively. They are the only three blind mountaineers to have climbed Qomolangma.
81. Why did Chen decide to withdraw while letting Zhang finish the climb (no more than 10 words)
82. How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 3 (no more than 10 words)
83. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5 (no more than 10 words)
84. What made Zhang different from other mountaineers who reached the summit of Qomolangma (no more than 10 words)
85. What’s your attitude towards the “mountain” in your life Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

My Favorite Sport
Of all the sports I play, I love cycling most. I go cycling nearly every day after school, and obtain great fun from it.
Cycling, first of all, provides me with the most convenient means of transportation from home to school. Also, it satisfies my love of being surrounded by nature as much as possible. What’s more, I read from many trustworthy magazines that regular cycling is not only good for my cardiovascular fitness, but can also have a positive effect on my sense of wellbeing, which makes me love the exercise even more.
Hopefully, more and more people can join me and have cycling as their favorite sport.
