As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother means a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.
I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new meaning of “cool”.
I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.
As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers (同伴) who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at.
For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.
24. What makes Tyson a typical example of “cool”
A. He has long legs and dresses fashionably. B. He pays little attention to others.
C. He always shadows his brother. D. He is really good at sports.
25. What made the author feel “cool”
A. Going to a new school all by himself. B. Accepting peers with the same interest.
C. Taking part in activities of a science team. D. Refusing to be identified as Tyson’s brother.
26. What can we learn from the story
A. Never judge a book by its cover. B. Find yourself and be yourself.
C. Life is full of possibilities. D. Skill is no burden.
C
Laughing together is an important way for people to connect and bond. And though the causes of laughter can vary widely across individuals and groups, the sound of a laugh is usually recognizable between people belonging to different cultures.
But what about animals Do they “laugh” And are the causes of animal and human laughter alike In humans, people may laugh when they hear a joke, or when they see something that they think is funny, though it’s unknown if animals’ intelligence includes what humans would call a sense of humor.
However, many animals produce sounds during play that are unique to that pleasant social interaction. Researchers consider such vocalizations to be similar to human laughter. Recently, scientists investigated play vocalization to see how common it was among animals. The team identified 65 species that “laughed” while playing — most were mammals (哺乳动物), but a few bird species demonstrated playful laughter too. Reports of playful laughter were notably absent in studies describing fish, perhaps because there is some question as to whether or not play exists at all in that animal group. This new study could help scientists to analyze the origins of human laughter.
But how can we identify play Unlike fighting, play is usually repetitive and happens independently of other social behaviors, said lead study author Sasha Winkler, a doctor of biological anthropology at the University of California. When it comes to identifying it, “you know it when you see it,” Winkler told Live Science. One sign is that primates — our closest relatives — have a “play face” that is similar to the expressions of humans who are playing.
When Winkler previously worked with rhesus macaques, she had noticed that the monkeys panted (喘气) quietly while playing. Many other primates are also known to vocalize during play, she said, so a hypothesis (laughter in humans is thought to have originated during play) supported by the play-related panting laughter of many primate species was put forward.
People now still laugh during play, but we also integrate laughter into language and non-play behaviors, using laughter in diverse ways to express a range of emotions that may be positive or negative. Human laughter notably differs from other animals’ laughter in another important way: its volume. People broadcast their laughter loudly, often as a way of establishing inclusion. By comparison, when most animals laugh, the sound is very quiet — just loud enough to be heard by the laugher’s partner.
“It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of vocalization during play,” Winkler told Live Science. “But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study."
27. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To explain causes of animal and human laughter.
B. To assess complexities regarding animal laughter.
C. To present findings on the existence of animal laughter.
D. To analyze differences between animal and human laughter.
28. What can we learn from this passage
A. Animal laughter is even noticeable in fish.
B Animal laughter is hard to recognize during play.
C. People have learned to combine play with laughter.
D. People laugh loudly because they want to involve others.
29. What is probably the focus of future study on laughter
A. Distinctive features of human laughter.
B. Different functions of animal laughter.
C. The origin and development of human laughter.
D. The relationship between animal laughter and intelligence.
第二节（共2小题；第30题2分，31题6分，共18分）
My fifth Christmas began in the middle of November on a cold, windy day. I remember the wind because Granny’s grey hair was a mess when she arrived. That was also the day Granny moved in.
After Granny moved in, she spent most of her time on the brown sofa by the fire. Sometimes she was quiet, but she seemed happy. When I wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him about the presents I wanted, Granny made an effort to help me. Her hand was slightly shaky, but she wrote “Father Christmas, the North Pole” on the envelope.
On Christmas Eve, Granny and I made sugar biscuits, stuffed the turkey I sat on her lap and sang Christmas songs. After that, Granny took a seat by the fire as we put up the Christmas tree. Before bed, Granny sat on my bed and sang softly until I fell sleep.
On the Christmas morning, Granny called me over.
“I have something special for you,” Granny whispered. “It is for all your treasures. Merry Christmas.”
After breakfast, Mum, Dad and auntie got lunch ready. We children rolled a big snowball to make a snowman. I waved to Granny and asked her to come out, but she just waved.
Lunch was late, but it was a loud and exciting affair. David, my cousin, put so much pudding in his mouth that he couldn’t swallow.
“How is the pudding ” Granny asked.
“Mmmph, mmmph, mmmph,” said David.
His mum didn’t think it funny, but the rest of us did. Granny laughed so much that her paper hat fell off.
A few weeks after that Christmas, Granny passed away. I think of her often, especially on Christmas Day. I still remember the last Christmas Granny spent with us. I remember the wind because Granny’s grey hair was a mess when she arrived. Each year I take out the music box she gave me. Now I’m the one who makes sugar biscuits each year, and I always make one in a G-shape — G for Granny.

第二节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
In the mornings, as I walked from the train station to the office, I planned my day by making a to-do list in my head: the scientific articles I would read, the data sets I would analyze, and-most urgent of all-the insights into human nature that it was my job to discover.
Each evening, I went back to the station, again going through my mental checklist but this time sizing up my performance against the expectations I’d set for myself that morning. Time and again, when comparing my to-do list with my got-done list, I felt disappointed because I had fallen short.
But one day, something very strange happened. During my trip home, without any conscious intent, my thoughts began to shift. Instead of feeling bad about my weaknesses, I said aloud very softly: I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person. I’m a nice person.
By the time I boarded my train, I was done with my little chant-until the next day when I walked home. And again, after counting my failures, I found myself saying quietly: I’m a nice person.
It turns out that there’s a technical term for this practice: values affirmation. And what it boils down to is recognizing, and strengthening, the personal values you hold most dear.
When you affirm a core personal value, you shore up your sense of self-worth. You broaden your outlook: Instead of focusing on your shortfalls, you switch to a wide-angle view that includes your resources and opportunities. And the people who do this are happier, healthier, and more hopeful.
Over time, I made progress in my research and learned a lot about what makes most successful people special, including this: Nobody has passion and determination unless what they do lines up with their values.
Try values affirmation for yourself and teach the practice to your students. Take a moment and think of a value you hold dear, whether it’s kindness, creativity, or gratitude. Whatever it is, name it. And then say to yourself: Come what may, I know who I am. Your values are your foundation and your compass, too. Trust them, and they will lead you home.

第三节：作文（20分）
【45题答案】
【答案】Dear Jim,
How is everything going
I’m a new senior secondary school student. It is the start of a new chapter in my life. My new school life is very exciting. I feel excited because this school differs in many ways from my previous one. Previously, we had fixed classrooms where students all sat in rows. In my new school, we don’t have fixed classrooms. Students sit around in groups and we often have group discussions and share our ideas or check our work together. What is also very different is that students in the same class can have different class schedules. That means we go to different classrooms for different subjects of our own choices.
In the next three years, I hope I will learn many new things. I also hope I will develop confidence in speaking English and develop competence in a variety of new skills.
All in all, I hope to have a happier, more fruitful and satisfying life in my new school. Would you like to introduce your school life to me I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
