　　The student arrived early,sat front and centre,and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communication class.He eagerly jumped into class discussions,with his humour and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives,as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day,I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then,he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
“Sure”,I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
“No problem”,he said.
Soon there he was again,back at his old desk,jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is,willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa,a 25-year-old junior.Afterward,I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree,but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college,so he had a long way to go.
There is something unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace,he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He has found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单).But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways,it counts.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个关于“活到老,学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生,尽管年龄很大,但他对学习仍然充满热情。

(　　)25.According to the author,why did Valencia continue to attend classes

　　Ancient Chinese poetry was the heart and soul of ancient Chinese literature.Poems and songs have been the means of entertainment of man from the earliest times onwards.Records of ancient Chinese poetry have largely been found,from which a large amount of knowledge of ancient poetry of China can be obtained.Ancient Chinese poetry was primarily written to be chanted or sung.
The poetic persona (表面形象) is a feature of classical Chinese poetry.The persona appears when the poem is written from the viewpoint of other people.Some poems are comments on the contemporary society and life.Images and symbolism are deeply associated with ancient Chinese poetry.Ancient Chinese poems,although apparently simple in the first reading,have deeper and greater meanings when read intensively.
The earliest ancient Chinese poetry begins with The Book of Songs,which is a collection of about 300 poems.It was the first comprehensive compilation (辑) of ancient Chinese poems.
Each poem in The Book of Songs was set to music and could be sung.Folk songs made up the most part of the book.Confucius,the great ancient philosopher,was fond of this book.It was also the accepted textbook of the Confucian school.
Chinese poetic history is extremely long and colourful.The Tang Dynasty,the golden age of ancient Chinese poetry,produced many famous poems.Three Hundred Poems of the Tang Dynasty,was compiled by Heng Tang Tui Shi of the Qing Dynasty.This was used for very many years to teach primary students.
Almost everything is the subject of ancient Chinese poetry,including marriage,agriculture,
courtship(求爱),sorrow and joy,romance,heroic deeds and so on.Generally,each poem is usually composed of lines of four,five or seven syllables.Translations of ancient Chinese poems are available in books and also online.Now these beautiful poems have attracted readers all over the world.

　　In the competition of Olympic weightlifting,the athletes try to lift the heaviest weight they can.There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete:body weight,height and strength.
The Olympic weightlifting competition mainly tests the limit of explosive strength (爆发力).There are not many weightlifters who really like the competition and the explanation is very simple:They are short of explosive strength.
The weights used for the Olympic weightlifting competition change by the kilogram.The order in which the athletes enter the competition is not general,but set depending on the event.
Usually the athlete with the lightest weight begins.If he/she is not successful,he/she can try again later.There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.
For many years the Olympic weightlifting competition was only for men.However,now women also take part in the competition.It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organised professional environment.For women,the competition is more difficult because of their different body structure.However,strength training techniques are widely and successfully used by women,too.
Lots of athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power.However,the demarcation line (界线) is still not very clear between power training and competitions.This is why so many weightlifters have got into the Olympic weightlifting competition,even if their purpose was different in the beginning.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了奥运会举重项目的相关内容。
(　　)32.What do athletes need in the competition of Olympic weightlifting

(　　)33.How many more times can a weightlifter try if he/she fails for the first time

[C] Three. [D] Four.
(　　)34.What can we learn from Paragraph 4
[A] Men often do better than women in weightlifting.
[B] Women need to use different training techniques from men.
[C] Men can learn the training techniques better than women.
[D] Women used not to be allowed to compete in Olympic weightlifting competitions.
开放。也就是说,过去不允许女子参加奥运会举重比赛。故选D。
(　　)35.According to the passage,why did many weightlifters practise strength training at first
[A] Because they wanted to take part in the Olympics.
[B] Because they wanted to get an award in the competition.
[C] Because they wanted to strengthen their body power.
[D] Because they wanted to test the limit of their explosive strength.

　　Poems are beautiful.36.　　　 When a poet uses beautiful language to describe things of beauty within our world,the reader may suddenly be made aware of things perhaps seen before,but never fully appreciated.When beauty and truth are revealed to us through a poem,we experience the joy of gained insight.
Poems are memorable.Good poetry is beautiful by design,and thus memorable by design.
There is nothing more practical in the end than the preservation of beauty.37.　　 　 We remember what is beautiful.By gathering up wisdom,knowledge,insight and all that is noble within beautiful language,they are given an enduring quality.We are inspired by it.38.　　　
Poems develop language skills.Good writers learn their craft in part by reading good literature.And the crown of literature is poetry.The patterns of language we call “literary devices”,also known as “poetic devices”,are the tools of the trade for writers.39.　　　 What was it that made you enjoy them More than likely,the skillful use of literary devices to add a pleasing sound to the words and add effect to the message was a key reason why the poem was memorable.Reading good poetry helps readers absorb the manner in which literary devices can be used to improve language and communication skills.
40.　　　 Poetry can inspire and influence us in a number of ways.A well known causal chain is that thoughts and feelings become actions,actions become habits,habits become character,and character becomes destiny.Good poetry provides just that.One of the great responsibilities of poetry is to move to right action through influence on the feelings.
A.Poems inspire.
B.We are moved to preserve it.
C.Think about your favourite poems.
D.Poems expose readers to new ideas.
E.Remember poetic language is rewarding.
F.Good poetry can reveal hidden yet familiar beauty.
G.This is because beauty has an enduring quality in the minds of man.

短文。
　　Snow began to fall across Italy’s Apennine Mountains in January and lasted for days.
From his home in Rome,Matt watched the weather with concern.He and his wife,Nora,had planned to stay at a hotel,but now he wondered whether they should go.After phoning the hotel,they decided to make the trip.By the time they neared the hotel six hours later,they were caught in a snowstorm.When they finally arrived,they were both cold and exhausted.They checked into their room and went to bed early.
When they awoke the next day,they found the snow had continued overnight.The cars in the parking lot were hidden under the snow.While they were having breakfast,the hotel began to shake.An earthquake with a magnitude (震级) of 5.7 had struck the mountain.“Let’s get out of here!” Matt shouted to his wife.They made their way to the parking lot,where others were digging out their cars.
With most cars freed by noon,the guests set off down the driveway.But when they reached the main road,the path was blocked by a two-metre-high wall of snow.Matt climbed out of his car to check.There was no road in sight.“We’re trapped!” he told his wife.With no other choices,they made their way back to the hotel.
They managed to get back to the hotel before dark.That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide.They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it.The avalanche gathered speed,grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way as it flowed down the mountain,tearing the hotel from its foundation.When the avalanche came to a stop,those trapped inside the hotel were buried in the icy ruins.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Matt came to himself,he found himself stuck in the darkness.
Paragraph 2:
It was not until the next morning that the rescuers finally arrived. 核心素养提升(Unit 4)

M:Good afternoon.I’m calling because I really need some help.I was moving furniture the other day and I hurt my shoulder.I feel pain when I move my arm backwards.It has been like this for several days already.I took some medicine already,but that didn’t help.I think I need to see a doctor.
W:That’s too bad.You said it’s a shoulder problem,right
M:Yes,that’s it.I also have a little back pain sometimes.I am not worried about that.
W:OK,would tomorrow morning or afternoon work better for you We have openings at 9:00 a.m.,11:00 a.m.,and 4:00 p.m.
M:The earlier,the better.
(Text 7)
M:What did you think about the guest speaker today
W:He was great.I am glad we had the chance to learn something fresh and exciting today.
M:I still think last week’s speaker was better.That scientist really opened my eyes to climate change.
W:Well,I guess it depends on what you’re interested in.I’m taking computer science,so it is very useful to me.You probably just didn’t understand what he was talking about.
M:Actually,I did.But after a while,I lost interest.I kept looking at my watch to see how much time was left.Who is coming next week
W:I heard it’s some guy who came up with an idea for solar -powered products.The week after that,we’ll get a visit from a famous basketball player.
M:That’s more like it!
(Text 8)
W:Welcome to Joan’s department store.Can I help you
M:Yes,I’m looking for a birthday present for my wife.
W:Do you have something specific in mind
M:I don’t know.She’s very particular.Any suggestions
W:We have some new woolen sweaters that just arrived.
M:Oh,that might be just the thing.My wife just loves soft sweaters,and she’s always liked that material for that exact reason.Do you have anything in blue
W:Unfortunately,we only have these sweaters in black and light brown.We do have some woolen scarves and gloves in different colours.Let me see if we have one in blue.
M:Great.Thanks.
W:I found a blue scarf here.What do you think
M:It looks perfect.I’ll take it.
(Text 9)
W:Billy,we need to talk.I noticed you haven’t been paying as much attention as usual in class lately.Your writing has gotten worse,too.What’s going on
M:Oh,it’s nothing.
W:Nothing Billy,I know you too well for that.So,what’s really going on
M:All right.I heard my parents talking recently.They thought I was asleep,but I wasn’t.They were talking about moving because of my father’s work.The company wants him to manage an office in another city.So,I’ve been worried about that.I don’t want to have to start over in another place with a new school,new friends,and new teachers.
W:I understand.
M:I guess I just feel anxious about what might happen.I haven’t talked with my parents yet,but I don’t know why.
W:Well,I can see how that could be a cause for concern.You are clever,friendly,and hard-working when you put your mind to it.You will have nothing to worry about if you do move to a new school.And if you stay,you need to keep your grades up.Look,whatever happens,I’m sure that you will be just fine.
M:I hope so.
W:But for now,if I were you,I would have an honest conversation with my parents.Also,I want you to know that you can talk with me more about this when you need to.

Throughout history,a great number of inventions were made by accident.One delicious example of this is potato chips.Have you ever stopped to wonder about the history of these tasty treats The year is 1853,and at a restaurant in Saratoga,New York,the USA,a customer who was unsatisfied with his thick-cut French fries sent them back to the kitchen.The chef,George Crum,made a new plate of thinner fries.The customer sent them back a second time,complaining they were still too thick.The chef,annoyed by the customer’s demands,made a new plate of fries that were too thin to eat with a fork.He was certain that the customer would not like these extra thin fries.However,to the chef’s surprise,the customer was delighted!And so,potato chips were born.George called these Saratoga chips.
He started packaging the chips and selling them in shops throughout New York State.He later opened his own restaurant.Eventually,potato chips became a popular snack in other parts of America.The next time you have some,you can thank a particular customer and an angry chef for this delicious invention.

　　The student arrived early,sat front and centre,and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one.I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communication class.He eagerly jumped into class discussions,with his humour and wisdom of experience.And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives,as if each of them were a teacher.Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day,I spotted Valencia on campus.He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year.By then,he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order.He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
“Sure”,I said.But he wouldn’t get any credit.
“No problem”,he said.
Soon there he was again,back at his old desk,jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework.“Here he is,willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,” says Jessica Espinosa,a 25-year-old junior.Afterward,I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree,but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college,so he had a long way to go.
There is something unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s.At his current pace,he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall.But that doesn’t seem especially relevant.He has found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating.Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts (成绩单).But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways,it counts.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。文章讲述了一个关于“活到老,学到老”的故事。杰里·瓦伦西亚是一个63岁的大三学生,尽管年龄很大,但他对学习仍然充满热情。

　　In the competition of Olympic weightlifting,the athletes try to lift the heaviest weight they can.There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete:body weight,height and strength.
The Olympic weightlifting competition mainly tests the limit of explosive strength (爆发力).There are not many weightlifters who really like the competition and the explanation is very simple:They are short of explosive strength.
The weights used for the Olympic weightlifting competition change by the kilogram.The order in which the athletes enter the competition is not general,but set depending on the event.
Usually the athlete with the lightest weight begins.If he/she is not successful,he/she can try again later.There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.
For many years the Olympic weightlifting competition was only for men.However,now women also take part in the competition.It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organised professional environment.For women,the competition is more difficult because of their different body structure.However,strength training techniques are widely and successfully used by women,too.
Lots of athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power.However,the demarcation line (界线) is still not very clear between power training and competitions.This is why so many weightlifters have got into the Olympic weightlifting competition,even if their purpose was different in the beginning.

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
　　Poems are beautiful.36.　　　 When a poet uses beautiful language to describe things of beauty within our world,the reader may suddenly be made aware of things perhaps seen before,but never fully appreciated.When beauty and truth are revealed to us through a poem,we experience the joy of gained insight.
Poems are memorable.Good poetry is beautiful by design,and thus memorable by design.
There is nothing more practical in the end than the preservation of beauty.37.　　 　 We remember what is beautiful.By gathering up wisdom,knowledge,insight and all that is noble within beautiful language,they are given an enduring quality.We are inspired by it.38.　　　
Poems develop language skills.Good writers learn their craft in part by reading good literature.And the crown of literature is poetry.The patterns of language we call “literary devices”,also known as “poetic devices”,are the tools of the trade for writers.39.　　　 What was it that made you enjoy them More than likely,the skillful use of literary devices to add a pleasing sound to the words and add effect to the message was a key reason why the poem was memorable.Reading good poetry helps readers absorb the manner in which literary devices can be used to improve language and communication skills.
40.　　　 Poetry can inspire and influence us in a number of ways.A well known causal chain is that thoughts and feelings become actions,actions become habits,habits become character,and character becomes destiny.Good poetry provides just that.One of the great responsibilities of poetry is to move to right action through influence on the feelings.
A.Poems inspire.
B.We are moved to preserve it.
C.Think about your favourite poems.
D.Poems expose readers to new ideas.
E.Remember poetic language is rewarding.
F.Good poetry can reveal hidden yet familiar beauty.
G.This is because beauty has an enduring quality in the minds of man.

40.【答案】 A
【解析】 这是本段的段首句。根据下文“诗歌可以在许多方面激励和影响我们。一条众所周知的因果链是:思想和感情变成行动,行动变成习惯,习惯变成性格,性格变成命运。好的诗歌恰恰提供了这一点。诗歌的重要责任之一就是通过对情感的影响,引导人们采取正确的行动。”可知,A项能概括本段内容。故选A。

The School Chinese & English Poetry Festival
Aiming to arouse teenagers’ interest in poetry and improve our level of appreciating poetry,our school held a Chinese and English Poetry Festival last Sunday.
During the festival,a variety of activities were organised,including reciting Chinese and English poems,answering questions about them and making the right guesses of the poems according to the given paintings.Additionally,the participants could talk about poetry freely to learn from each other.
This festival achieved great success,which not only enriched the life of high school students,but also helped to promote our literature level.

　　Snow began to fall across Italy’s Apennine Mountains in January and lasted for days.
From his home in Rome,Matt watched the weather with concern.He and his wife,Nora,had planned to stay at a hotel,but now he wondered whether they should go.After phoning the hotel,they decided to make the trip.By the time they neared the hotel six hours later,they were caught in a snowstorm.When they finally arrived,they were both cold and exhausted.They checked into their room and went to bed early.
When they awoke the next day,they found the snow had continued overnight.The cars in the parking lot were hidden under the snow.While they were having breakfast,the hotel began to shake.An earthquake with a magnitude (震级) of 5.7 had struck the mountain.“Let’s get out of here!” Matt shouted to his wife.They made their way to the parking lot,where others were digging out their cars.
With most cars freed by noon,the guests set off down the driveway.But when they reached the main road,the path was blocked by a two-metre-high wall of snow.Matt climbed out of his car to check.There was no road in sight.“We’re trapped!” he told his wife.With no other choices,they made their way back to the hotel.
They managed to get back to the hotel before dark.That was when the snow on the mountain began to slide.They heard the avalanche (雪崩) before they saw it.The avalanche gathered speed,grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way as it flowed down the mountain,tearing the hotel from its foundation.When the avalanche came to a stop,those trapped inside the hotel were buried in the icy ruins.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
When Matt came to himself,he found himself stuck in the darkness.

Nora!”he called,but there was no response.In fact,he could hear nothing at all.The whole world was dead silent.Despair washed over himHe asked himself again and again,“Who is going to save me ”
