Jordan knew he wanted to do something unique with his farmland.He wanted to win the local garden club’s “Yard of the Month” award.But he didn’t have the money to buy new trees，so he began by using bushes and shrubs(矮树苗) that a local nursery had thrown away—that looked dead to most people.
Because he worked days at a can factory，Jordan often tended his garden at night.Neighbors got used to seeing one little headlight as Jordan stood on a ladder，cutting and shaping his steadily growing bushes.Gradually，the shrubs took on different shapes.Jordan then began planting trees and using zip ties，coat hangers，PVC pipe，and even his wife’s old stockings to achieve the forms he wanted.“He has a way of manipulating plants to do things he wants them to do by training，bending，wiring，and clipping，” says a neighbor.“And the plants seem to bend to his will.”
Many professional gardeners are amazed by what Jordan has been able to achieve.“The garden itself was created from lack of knowledge，” says Jordan in his booming bass voice，“because I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to do this with plants.For one time in my life，ignorance paid off.”
Jordan’s attention to detail and his willingness to work hard have made him a local hero.He was the first African American to win “Yard of the Month” honor from the local garden club.And more recognition followed: articles in major newspapers and appearances on well-known TV shows.
Jordan’s garden now includes about 400 species of plants and 150 shrubs in different shapes.On his front yard，four-foot-tall letters filled with bright red begonias(秋海棠) spell Love，Peace，and Goodwill.These are the principles Jordan lives by.A box for donations can be found on the property，but giving is optional.Jordan welcomes people who can’t afford to pay.He understands; he’s been there.

The United States space agency，NASA，says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane gas on the planet.The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its 7-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell.A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level.It measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere.In addition to methane，it can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by living things.It usually comes from animal and plant life.But it can also be formed by geological(地质的) processes，such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time that Curiosity had found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere.About a year ago，NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas.This time NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past.“It’s exciting because microbial(微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth，” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.
However，Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas.“That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time，” NASA said.The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.
“The methane mystery continues，” said Ashwin Vasavada，Curiosity’s project scientist.“We’re more active in keeping measuring and putting our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Martian atmosphere.”
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。美国宇航局 NASA 称其火星探测车Curiosity最近在火星上记录到高水平的甲烷气体。这一发现令人兴奋，因为甲烷气体的存在可能支持火星上存在生命的说法。

B．There will be more methane gas on Mars.
C．There is no progress in the 7 years’ research.

答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.”可知，火星上的探索告诉了我们火星上的甲烷气体水平是不稳定的。故选D。

A．Life may exist on Mars.
B．Methane gas on Mars is increasing fast.
C．The mystery about Mars will be solved soon.

The concept of a growth mindset(成长型思维) has been researched over the past two decades，helping professionals in education understand the opportunities behind increasing achievement.For students，a growth mindset can be necessary for success.
First，it’s important to understand the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.Fixed mindsets tend to believe intelligence is a set quality that has no room for growth.Those with a fixed mindset avoid situations they aren’t confident in，focusing only on tasks that they are skilled in.However，those with a growth mindset take a different approach，believing intelligence and skills can be developed through learning from mistakes and challenging themselves with hard work and continued effort.
Many students experience setbacks(挫折) at some point，whether that be failing a test，switching majors，or wondering if college is right for them.Even though setbacks are discouraging，they can also teach students to learn and grow and，finally，turn them into opportunities for the future.For a student，a failing grade may result in them ignoring the consequences(后果) at first or hoping next time it will be better without any direct action towards ensuring better results.However，with a growth mindset，students will face their setbacks directly and analyze what differences they can make.
Encouraging a growth mindset in students is easier said than done.In fact，motivating students requires effort beyond encouragement and praise.Educators should place stress on students trying new things，learning from mistakes，and encouraging them to reach out for support.Using these methods，educators can focus on helping students recognize their setbacks and develop strategies for overcoming challenges.
Developing a growth mindset is more than just telling students to try harder.It’s a key tool in helping students succeed，especially when they face setbacks.To do so，educators must provide students with strategies for asking for help or developing a plan for handling setbacks.Additionally，conversations about the struggles students are facing are especially necessary.Promoting a growth mindset in students can’t be achieved in one day.Instead，it requires ongoing research，predictive methods，and strategic planning.
语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文，文章论述了教育工作者应该帮助学生建立成长型思维模式，使他们能够勇敢面对挑战和困难，从挫折和失败中学到东西，获得成功。
32．What may a student with a growth mindset be good at
A．Learning lessons from failures.
B．Completing tasks with confidence.
C．Finding others’ strengths and weaknesses.
D．Encouraging others to follow their lead.
答案　A
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的“...those with a growth mindset...believing intelligence and skills can be developed through learning from mistakes...”可知，拥有成长型思维的人擅长从失败中吸取教训。故选A。
33．What does the author want to express through the example of a student’s failing grade
A．Setbacks are unavoidable and normal.
B．Setbacks can be power for personal growth.
C．Students pay much attention to their test scores.
D．Long-term vision is important for students’ success.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的“Even though setbacks are discouraging，they...turn them into opportunities...students...analyze what differences they can make.”可推知，作者通过学生成绩不理想的例子想要表达挫折也能成为成长的力量。故选B。
34．What should educators especially do to help students develop a growth mindset

B．Find and praise their achievements timely.
C．Guide them to solve their problems independently.
D．Instruct them to learn to handle setbacks.

第二节　(满分25分)
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。
I live in San Francisco，where it pretty much never snows.But if you get in a car and drive too far，you’ll arrive at these beautiful，snow-covered mountains.Last week，my friend Ollie and his grandmother Abuela decided to go skiing in the mountains.
They invited me to go with them.I was so excited that I jumped up and down.However，it was colder than I’d expected.Trembling in the cold air，I was afraid to be frozen to death there.Luckily，Abuela，who is probably the kindest human on the planet，offered to let me wear her scarf.It was the softest，warmest，most awesome scarf and more importantly，Abuela had knit(编织) it herself.So moved was I that I couldn’t say anything to express my thanks.With the scarf warming me up，I enjoyed skiing in high spirits together with them.
“These old knees need a rest！” Abuela said after a couple of hours of skiing，pointing at her knees.“You two go ahead and take another run.I’ll be in the lodge，reading by the fire.”
So Ollie and I took one more ride on the ski lift up the mountain.As we looked around at the trees and watched people zipping down the slopes，I felt that one piece of yarn(纱线) on Abuela’s scarf kept tickling(使……发痒) my neck.I said to Ollie，“It’s uncomfortable.Maybe something is wrong with the scarf.”
“Oh yeah，I see it，” Ollie said.
I pulled on the end of the yarn，thinking it was just a loose piece that had separated from the scarf.But the more I pulled，the longer the piece became.
“Jeff，” Ollie said.“You’d better stop.The scarf is unravelling(散开)！”
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
When I took off the scarf to see what he meant，I was frightened.
His silly ideas weren’t making me feel better，and I decided to tell Abuela the bad news.
参考范文
When I took off the scarf to see what he meant，I was frightened.Oh no! I just turned Abuela’s special scarf into half a special scarf and half a big pile of yarn! It was a one-of-a-kind thing that I would never be able to replace! What could I do I was burning with anxiety，not knowing how to explain the whole thing to Abuela.“Um，you could say a bird suddenly flew down out of nowhere and pulled the scarf right off your neck！” Ollie suggested.How ridiculous! I gave him a dirty look.Ollie then smiled and continued，“You could throw it from this ski lift，and say you accidentally dropped it.”
His silly ideas weren’t making me feel better，and I decided to tell Abuela the bad news.After all，I believed that honesty was more important to Abuela than the scarf itself.Overwhelmed by the feelings of guilt，I started to walk towards Abuela the moment I arrived at the lodge.However，when I finally told Abuela the truth，she was really nice and understanding.She appreciated my honesty and comforted me，telling me that she could knit many more scarves with a great big basket of yarn at home.Breathing a sigh of relief，I hugged her and thanked her from the bottom of my heart.It’s an unforgettable and splendid skiing trip，one where I enjoyed both the pleasure of skiing and warmth from Abuela.单元检测卷(三)

Jordan knew he wanted to do something unique with his farmland.He wanted to win the local garden club’s “Yard of the Month” award.But he didn’t have the money to buy new trees，so he began by using bushes and shrubs(矮树苗) that a local nursery had thrown away—that looked dead to most people.
Because he worked days at a can factory，Jordan often tended his garden at night.Neighbors got used to seeing one little headlight as Jordan stood on a ladder，cutting and shaping his steadily growing bushes.Gradually，the shrubs took on different shapes.Jordan then began planting trees and using zip ties，coat hangers，PVC pipe，and even his wife’s old stockings to achieve the forms he wanted.“He has a way of manipulating plants to do things he wants them to do by training，bending，wiring，and clipping，” says a neighbor.“And the plants seem to bend to his will.”
Many professional gardeners are amazed by what Jordan has been able to achieve.“The garden itself was created from lack of knowledge，” says Jordan in his booming bass voice，“because I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to do this with plants.For one time in my life，ignorance paid off.”
Jordan’s attention to detail and his willingness to work hard have made him a local hero.He was the first African American to win “Yard of the Month” honor from the local garden club.And more recognition followed: articles in major newspapers and appearances on well-known TV shows.
Jordan’s garden now includes about 400 species of plants and 150 shrubs in different shapes.On his front yard，four-foot-tall letters filled with bright red begonias(秋海棠) spell Love，Peace，and Goodwill.These are the principles Jordan lives by.A box for donations can be found on the property，but giving is optional.Jordan welcomes people who can’t afford to pay.He understands; he’s been there.
24．What does the underlined word “manipulating” mean in paragraph 2
A．Using. B．Expecting.
C．Tending. D．Controlling.
25．Which of the following words can best describe Jordan
A．Brave and hard-working.
B．Creative and committed.
C．Passionate but careless.
D．Ambitious but ignorant.
26．What does Jordan’s experience of building the garden tell us
A．Beggars can’t be choosers.
B．A good beginning is half done.
C．Where there is a will，there is a way.
D．Hope for the best，but prepare for the worst.
27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．It is worthwhile to visit the garden.
B．Tickets are expensive for visitors.
C．Jordan comes from a poor family.
D．Jordan lives on donation from others.

The United States space agency，NASA，says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane gas on the planet.The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity vehicle recently recorded the largest level of methane ever measured during its 7-year Mars mission.
Methane has no color or smell.A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level.It measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere.In addition to methane，it can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.
Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by living things.It usually comes from animal and plant life.But it can also be formed by geological(地质的) processes，such as interactions between rocks and water.
It was not the first time that Curiosity had found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere.About a year ago，NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas.This time NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past.“It’s exciting because microbial(微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth，” NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.
However，Curiosity’s team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas.“That number was close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time，” NASA said.The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.
“The methane mystery continues，” said Ashwin Vasavada，Curiosity’s project scientist.“We’re more active in keeping measuring and putting our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Martian atmosphere.”
28．What can we know about methane gas
A．It is highly necessary for Mars.
B．It can easily be found anywhere.
C．It is mainly related to biological activity.
D．It smells more or less like carbon dioxide.
29．What does the exploration on Mars indicate
A．Humans have known much about Mars.
B．There will be more methane gas on Mars.
C．There is no progress in the 7 years’ research.
D．The level of methane gas on Mars is changeable.
30．What does the discovery mean in NASA’s view
A．Life may exist on Mars.
B．Methane gas on Mars is increasing fast.
C．The mystery about Mars will be solved soon.
D．They know where methane gas on Mars is from.
31．How do the NASA’s scientists feel about the future exploration
A．Worried. B．Confident.
C．Stressed. D．Serious.
D
The concept of a growth mindset(成长型思维) has been researched over the past two decades，helping professionals in education understand the opportunities behind increasing achievement.For students，a growth mindset can be necessary for success.
First，it’s important to understand the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset.Fixed mindsets tend to believe intelligence is a set quality that has no room for growth.Those with a fixed mindset avoid situations they aren’t confident in，focusing only on tasks that they are skilled in.However，those with a growth mindset take a different approach，believing intelligence and skills can be developed through learning from mistakes and challenging themselves with hard work and continued effort.
Many students experience setbacks(挫折) at some point，whether that be failing a test，switching majors，or wondering if college is right for them.Even though setbacks are discouraging，they can also teach students to learn and grow and，finally，turn them into opportunities for the future.For a student，a failing grade may result in them ignoring the consequences(后果) at first or hoping next time it will be better without any direct action towards ensuring better results.However，with a growth mindset，students will face their setbacks directly and analyze what differences they can make.
Encouraging a growth mindset in students is easier said than done.In fact，motivating students requires effort beyond encouragement and praise.Educators should place stress on students trying new things，learning from mistakes，and encouraging them to reach out for support.Using these methods，educators can focus on helping students recognize their setbacks and develop strategies for overcoming challenges.
Developing a growth mindset is more than just telling students to try harder.It’s a key tool in helping students succeed，especially when they face setbacks.To do so，educators must provide students with strategies for asking for help or developing a plan for handling setbacks.Additionally，conversations about the struggles students are facing are especially necessary.Promoting a growth mindset in students can’t be achieved in one day.Instead，it requires ongoing research，predictive methods，and strategic planning.
32．What may a student with a growth mindset be good at
A．Learning lessons from failures.
B．Completing tasks with confidence.
C．Finding others’ strengths and weaknesses.
D．Encouraging others to follow their lead.
33．What does the author want to express through the example of a student’s failing grade
A．Setbacks are unavoidable and normal.
B．Setbacks can be power for personal growth.
C．Students pay much attention to their test scores.
D．Long-term vision is important for students’ success.
34．What should educators especially do to help students develop a growth mindset
A．Train them to work hard and never give up.
B．Find and praise their achievements timely.
C．Guide them to solve their problems independently.
D．Instruct them to learn to handle setbacks.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Finding Success Through Learning
B．Overcoming Setbacks in Education
C．Dealing with Setbacks: The Growth Mindset
D．Student Motivation: Encouragement and Support

第二节　(满分25分)
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。
I live in San Francisco，where it pretty much never snows.But if you get in a car and drive too far，you’ll arrive at these beautiful，snow-covered mountains.Last week，my friend Ollie and his grandmother Abuela decided to go skiing in the mountains.
They invited me to go with them.I was so excited that I jumped up and down.However，it was colder than I’d expected.Trembling in the cold air，I was afraid to be frozen to death there.Luckily，Abuela，who is probably the kindest human on the planet，offered to let me wear her scarf.It was the softest，warmest，most awesome scarf and more importantly，Abuela had knit(编织) it herself.So moved was I that I couldn’t say anything to express my thanks.With the scarf warming me up，I enjoyed skiing in high spirits together with them.
“These old knees need a rest！” Abuela said after a couple of hours of skiing，pointing at her knees.“You two go ahead and take another run.I’ll be in the lodge，reading by the fire.”
So Ollie and I took one more ride on the ski lift up the mountain.As we looked around at the trees and watched people zipping down the slopes，I felt that one piece of yarn(纱线) on Abuela’s scarf kept tickling(使……发痒) my neck.I said to Ollie，“It’s uncomfortable.Maybe something is wrong with the scarf.”
“Oh yeah，I see it，” Ollie said.
I pulled on the end of the yarn，thinking it was just a loose piece that had separated from the scarf.But the more I pulled，the longer the piece became.
“Jeff，” Ollie said.“You’d better stop.The scarf is unravelling(散开)！”
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
When I took off the scarf to see what he meant，I was frightened.
His silly ideas weren’t making me feel better，and I decided to tell Abuela the bad news.
