In the course of life, the first step of the lead is likely to mean the final victory, so the success and failure or 1 and loss of your life may lie in whether you dare to show yourself or not.
As a student, I was most 2 to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the professor asked a question, I always 3 my head, for fear that the professor saw me.
In a foreign language class, an expert from the Commercial Bank gave a speech. The speaker always wanted someone to be in 4 with him, so he asked how many students in the classroom learned Economics, but no one replied. The expert said with a smile, “let me tell you a story first.”
“When I came to the United States to study, there are often speeches delivered in the university. Each time they invite an expert from Wall Street to make a speech.”
“ 5 the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting phenomenon (现象). The students around me always took a cardboard, wrote their names with the most eye-catching color, and then placed it on the seat. 6 , when the speaker needed the reply, he could see and call a listener’s name 7 .”
“I couldn’t understand why they did that, so I asked the student in front of me. He told me with a smile, the speakers are all very 8 people, who mean chances. When your answer is to his surprise, it is very 9 that he will give you more chances. This is a very simple reason.”
“The fact was also like that, I really saw a few students around me went to work in the first class company because of their excellent insights (洞察力), and this had a great influence on me.

On the Height by Du Fu The wind so swift, the sky so wide, apes wail and cry; Water so clear, and beach so white, birds wheel and fly.

The poem “On the Height” is a famous poem by Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty. It is included in the “Du Gongbu Collection”, a collection of poems by Du Fu.
The first four lines were the first part of the poem, which started with writing the views through wind, sky, water, beach, apes, and birds, a natural scene of autumn is vividly presented.

The second part marked a shift in focus from the landscape to the poet’s inner world. After Yan Wu died, who gave Du Fu much help, Du Fu left his hometown and lived a hard life again. Because of poverty (贫穷) and illness, he felt even sadder and lonelier when climbing alone. The last two lines show the poet’s sadness for the difficult life and his helplessness for aging, as well as the bitterness (苦涩) of having to give up drinking due to difficulties.
By describing the scene of autumn from a high altitude, the entire poem expresses the sadness of autumn and the suffering of life. It shows the poet’s complex emotions of long-term wandering, illness, and loneliness. It is generous, exciting, and touching.

I lay on the beach for a long time. When I felt stronger, I stood up and looked around. “Where am I ” I asked myself. “Is this an island or mainland Are there any people here Any dangerous wild animals ”
It was getting dark and I was still very tired.
“I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,” I thought.
① I found a big tree not far from the shore（岸）and I climbed up into the branches. It made a comfortable bed and I fell asleep at once.
The next morning the sky was blue and there was no wind. I could see the ship from my bed in the tree. I decided to swim to it.
② First of all, I went to the kitchen because I was feeling very hungry. Luckily all the bread in the cupboard was still dry.
While I was walking around the ship I thought, “The ship is going to sink. I must make a raft and take all the food back to the shore before it’s too late.”
③ I found some pieces of wood on the ship. I threw them into the water and joined them together with ropes. It took me a long time, but I was happy with the result. My raft was big and strong.
I filled it with lots of useful things from the ship: tools, guns, gunpowder, food, drink and clothes.
Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore. ④ It was a long, slow journey, but I arrived safely without losing anything.
I made two more trips to the ship that day. Then, before it got too dark, I built a small tent. I put everything inside it and went to bed.
—Adapted from Robinson Crusoe

Human beings are amazing creatures. We have walked on the moon, cured diseases, and built many structures, from ancient Great Wall to modern buildings. So what is it that makes us so special The answer is our brains. The human brain is a fantastic body part that controls everything from your breathing to your memories and imagination. Below are several more surprising facts about this natural supercomputer. The brain does not fully grown until age 25.
Scientists have discovered that while most areas of the brain finish forming before we leave high school, the areas that deal with planning and reasoning aren’t fully grown until one’s 20s. What’s more, after the age of 24, the brain actually starts going into a slow drop, making our 20s the time when our brains are truly at their top!
Three-quarters of the brain is water.
As a result, our brain is always in great need of water, which is one reason why it’s important to drink lots of water. The brain’s large water content also affects its texture (质地), which is similar to puddings.
Our brains aren’t the biggest, though being the brightest.
We often think that a bigger brain equals a better brain. And while humans do have large brains, ours aren’t the largest in the animal world. Besides, we don’t even have the largest brains among humans. Neanderthals (穴居人) —though now disappear—had brains that were actually 10 percent larger than ours. This doesn’t mean they were smarter than us, though. Brain size is important, but the brain’s structure is even more so. Indeed, the human brain deals with a lot of hard work in a small space.
Of course, these aren’t the only interesting things about the brain. In fact, our brains still have a lot of secrets for scientists to find out.
Left hemisphere (半球） The left hemisphere mainly works for abstract (抽象) thinking, while also controlling the movement of the right side of the body. And the left hemisphere helps with language processing. Right hemisphere The right hemisphere helps to understand space relationships, process pictures, and control the movement of the left side of the body. Moreover, the right hemisphere deals with your moods.
22．How does the writer begin the article
A．By comparing animals’ brains.
B．By giving an answer to a question.
C．By providing different numbers.
D．By describing a special experience.
23．What do we know about human brains according to the passage
A．They work best in the thirties.
B．They are the largest in the world.
C．They play a big role in breathing.
D．They are similar to puddings in colour.
24．What may a patient who hurt his left hemisphere have difficulty in
A．Giving directions.
B．Speaking to others.
C．Feeling happy.
D．Drawing pictures.
25．Which of the following is true about brains
A．Scientists already have a deep understanding of brains.
B．We can help our brain grow faster by doing more exercise.
C．The larger the brain size is, the brighter the animal will be.
D．To help keep our brain healthy, drinking water is necessary.

Aaron had just moved to a big city to start a new job. He’d never lived in a big city before. It didn’t take long for the stress of city life to get to Aaron.

I hope you won’t be offended (冒犯), but I was wondering … “how did you end up homeless ”
Aaron asked.
“I was in a war. I saw many of my friends 49 (die). I got badly injured (受伤的) and couldn’t find a job when I came home. While I was gone, my wife decided 50 (leave) me. I lost everything. Life hurt so much,” the man said.
“But I’m thankful for every single day that I’m alive. My life might be hard sometimes, bur when I see something as simple as a sunrise, or as touching as a young man who is facing the pain of life, I remember that even when life hurts. It is worth 51 (live).”

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
Although it happened over 10 years ago, I still remember the moment clearly, I had ordered a drink at a mall in Beijing. When it was ready, the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning“foreigner”.
It was my second day in China, and this marked the first at different places when I would be called a laowai in public. What does it feel like to be called a laowai
As someone who doesn’t like being in the spotlight (聚光灯), walking down the street and suddenly hearing someone say to their friend, “Look, a laowai”, is not a pleasant experience. It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention.
As much as I dislike being singled out, I also try to understand. China is not a nation like Australia, where I’m from. So. for many Chinese people, seeing a foreigner is still a big deal. When I’m in a place in China with few foreigners, even I sometimes can’t help but point out to my friends that there’s another foreigner nearby, I just make sure to do it carefully!
My Chinese friends also tell me that laowai is a more welcome term than waiguoren because lao adds a touch of respect and friendship. I’ve never felt it came from a place of rudeness or disrespect. The longer I live here, the more China feels like home, and the more I just want to “fit in”. And that, I think, is something beautiful.
54．What does laowai mean
55．How does the writer feel when being called laowai
56．What would you say when you see a foreigner Why

“I must look for somewhere safe to spend the night,” I thought.

The next morning the sky was blue and there was no wind. I could see the ship from my bed in the tree. I decided to swim to it.
② First of all, I went to the kitchen because I was feeling very hungry. Luckily all the bread in the cupboard was still dry.
While I was walking around the ship I thought, “The ship is going to sink. I must make a raft and take all the food back to the shore before it’s too late.”
③ I found some pieces of wood on the ship. I threw them into the water and joined them together with ropes. It took me a long time, but I was happy with the result. My raft was big and strong.
I filled it with lots of useful things from the ship: tools, guns, gunpowder, food, drink and clothes.
Finally I made a little sail for my raft and I set off for the shore. ④ It was a long, slow journey, but I arrived safely without losing anything.

Human beings are amazing creatures. We have walked on the moon, cured diseases, and built many structures, from ancient Great Wall to modern buildings. So what is it that makes us so special The answer is our brains. The human brain is a fantastic body part that controls everything from your breathing to your memories and imagination. Below are several more surprising facts about this natural supercomputer. The brain does not fully grown until age 25.
Scientists have discovered that while most areas of the brain finish forming before we leave high school, the areas that deal with planning and reasoning aren’t fully grown until one’s 20s. What’s more, after the age of 24, the brain actually starts going into a slow drop, making our 20s the time when our brains are truly at their top!
Three-quarters of the brain is water.
As a result, our brain is always in great need of water, which is one reason why it’s important to drink lots of water. The brain’s large water content also affects its texture (质地), which is similar to puddings.
Our brains aren’t the biggest, though being the brightest.
We often think that a bigger brain equals a better brain. And while humans do have large brains, ours aren’t the largest in the animal world. Besides, we don’t even have the largest brains among humans. Neanderthals (穴居人) —though now disappear—had brains that were actually 10 percent larger than ours. This doesn’t mean they were smarter than us, though. Brain size is important, but the brain’s structure is even more so. Indeed, the human brain deals with a lot of hard work in a small space.
Of course, these aren’t the only interesting things about the brain. In fact, our brains still have a lot of secrets for scientists to find out.
Left hemisphere (半球） The left hemisphere mainly works for abstract (抽象) thinking, while also controlling the movement of the right side of the body. And the left hemisphere helps with language processing. Right hemisphere The right hemisphere helps to understand space relationships, process pictures, and control the movement of the left side of the body. Moreover, the right hemisphere deals with your moods.
22．How does the writer begin the article
A．By comparing animals’ brains.
B．By giving an answer to a question.
C．By providing different numbers.
D．By describing a special experience.
23．What do we know about human brains according to the passage
A．They work best in the thirties.
B．They are the largest in the world.
C．They play a big role in breathing.
D．They are similar to puddings in colour.
24．What may a patient who hurt his left hemisphere have difficulty in
A．Giving directions.
B．Speaking to others.
C．Feeling happy.
D．Drawing pictures.
25．Which of the following is true about brains
A．Scientists already have a deep understanding of brains.
B．We can help our brain grow faster by doing more exercise.
C．The larger the brain size is, the brighter the animal will be.
D．To help keep our brain healthy, drinking water is necessary.

请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。
Although it happened over 10 years ago, I still remember the moment clearly, I had ordered a drink at a mall in Beijing. When it was ready, the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning“foreigner”.
It was my second day in China, and this marked the first at different places when I would be called a laowai in public. What does it feel like to be called a laowai
As someone who doesn’t like being in the spotlight (聚光灯), walking down the street and suddenly hearing someone say to their friend, “Look, a laowai”, is not a pleasant experience. It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention.
As much as I dislike being singled out, I also try to understand. China is not a nation like Australia, where I’m from. So. for many Chinese people, seeing a foreigner is still a big deal. When I’m in a place in China with few foreigners, even I sometimes can’t help but point out to my friends that there’s another foreigner nearby, I just make sure to do it carefully!
My Chinese friends also tell me that laowai is a more welcome term than waiguoren because lao adds a touch of respect and friendship. I’ve never felt it came from a place of rudeness or disrespect. The longer I live here, the more China feels like home, and the more I just want to “fit in”. And that, I think, is something beautiful.
54．What does laowai mean
55．How does the writer feel when being called laowai
56．What would you say when you see a foreigner Why
【答案】54．Foreigner. 55．The writer feels awkward and uncomfortable when being called laowai, as it draws unnecessary attention. 56．When I see a foreigner, I would probably say “Hello”, because I want to respect him/her and not make him/her feel uncomfortable.
【导语】本文讲述了一个外国人在中国被称为“老外”的经历和感受，以及他对这一称呼的理解和适应过程。
54．根据“...the server handed me a cup with laowai written on it, meaning ‘foreigner’”可知，老外的意思是“foreigner”，即“外国人”。故填Foreigner.
55．根据“...hearing someone say to their friend, ‘Look, a laowai’, is not a pleasant experience”以及“It just makes you feel awkward and draws unnecessary attention.”可知，作者感到尴尬和不舒服，因为这样会引来不必要的关注。故填The writer feels awkward and uncomfortable when being called laowai, as it draws unnecessary attention.
56．开放性作答，结合实际，言之有理即可。参考答案为When I see a foreigner, I would probably say “Hello”, because I want to respect him/her and not make him/her feel uncomfortable.
