We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches out before us in an endless vista.
Those who have never suffered the loss of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these faculties.
Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation.
I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf and I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening Nature after her winter's sleep.
On the first day, I should want to see the people whose kindness, gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.
First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher, who opened the outer world to me and accomplished the difficult task of my education with sympathetic tenderness and patience.
The third and last day would be spent in the workday world of the present, so New York City, with so many activities and conditions of men, becomes my destination.
I hurry to the top of the Empire State Building, anxious to see with my own eyes the city below me.
Always my eyes are wide open to all the sights of both happiness and suffering so that I may probe deep and add to my understanding of how people work and live.
In the evening I should run away to the theatre, to a genuinely funny play, so that I might appreciate the overtones of comedy in the human spirit.
Make the most of every sense; glory in all the pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact provided by Nature.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解。
Zero emission large passenger aircraft powered by hydrogen will be technically possible in five years, according to Airbus, but they will not enter service for at least a decade as the price of the fuel needs to come down.
The prediction comes from Glenn Llewellyn, vice president of zero emissions technology at the pan European plane maker. He said that while Airbus planned to demonstrate hydrogen powered aircraft in 2025, “over the next 10 years, hydrogen won't be more economical than the fossil fuel equivalent”．
Step Ⅴ： Homework.
For passengers to be flying genuinely emissions free aboard hydrogen powered planes—which emit only water and heat—their fuel needs to come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar, he added.
In an interview ahead of the BloombergNEF London Summit, Mr Llewellyn said, “We already see massive increases in the amount of renewable energy being produced across the world. Wind energy production has multiplied by two over the last five years and solar energy production has multiplied by four.”
A further hurdle is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft, along with other forms of transport, will need. This ranges from creating the fuel from electrolysis to split water into hydrogen and oxygen powered by renewable energy, to the actual transport of the gas and fuelling systems for it at airports.
However, Mr Llewellyn predicted that there was enough interest in the sector to make this happen. He added, “There are a number of independent institutes that have mapped out how hydrogen costs can come down over the next decades. We see a 30% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs in 2030 compared to where it is today, and a 50% reduction in renewable hydrogen costs by 2050.”
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了零排放氢动力飞机的研发现状和未来，还说明了氢动力飞机的一些特性和优点以及仍然面临的挑战。
( ) 1. What can we know about the hydrogen powered aircraft according to the passage
A. It will be an unrealistic dream.
B. The cost of its fuel keeps rising.
C. It will be accessible within a decade.
D. Renewable energy makes it environmentally friendly.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For passengers to be flying … come from hydrogen produced via renewable sources such as wind and solar, he added.”可知，氢动力飞机使用可再生能源，很环保。故选D。
D
( ) 2. What did Mr Llewellyn say about renewable energy
A. It gains growing popularity throughout the world.
B. More wind energy has been produced than solar energy.
C. Hydrogen can only be generated from wind and solar energy.
D. Hydrogen will be cheaper than fossil fuel in the coming ten years.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段Llewellyn说的话可知，世界各地可再生能源产量大幅增长。风能在过去五年增加了一倍，太阳能增加了三倍。由此可推知，可再生能源在全世界越来越受欢迎。故选A。
A
( ) 3. What does the underlined word “________” in Paragraph 5 refer to
A. Ecosystem.　 B. Challenge.　
C. Aircraft.　 D. Prediction.
【解析】 代词指代题。根据画线词上文“A further hurdle is building up the ecosystem that hydrogen aircraft, along with other forms of transport, will need.”可知，这一挑战包括以可再生能源为动力将水电解成氢和氧的氢燃料生产，运输氢燃料的交通工具以及机场的燃料补给系统。由此推知，画线词指的是“挑战”。故选B。
B
( ) 4. What is Mr Llewellyn's attitude towards the future of hydrogen powered aircraft
A. Objective.　 B. Optimistic.　
C. Doubtful.　 D. Pessimistic.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Llewellyn预计业内对氢动力飞机的浓厚兴趣将助其实现，并预测，到2030年，可再生氢燃料的成本将比现在降低30%，到2050年将降低50%。由此可推知，Llewellyn对氢动力飞机的未来持乐观态度。故选B。
B

This happened back in 1972, before the days when pool fences were compulsory.

All the workers had left that day and I saw that the swimming pool had been built and was full of water. A white toy poodle(玩具贵宾犬) was swimming around the 4 . The water level was too far below the edge of the pool for the dog to climb out. It had no 5 but to keep swimming until eventually, through complete exhaustion; it would 6 to the bottom and drown.
When it saw me, and after a few more barks from Sam, it swam towards me and I was able to 7 it out of the water. I took the toy poodle home, dried it off and noticed a collar 8 a name Midge, and an address, which was a five minute walk from my home. So I took Midge home to his very 9 owners. But that was not the end of the story.
Some three weeks later, I was walking down the road when I was 10 by two fierce Dobermans(杜宾犬). They obviously had no 11 of letting me pass. 12 ,Sam ran from a house behind me. Barking, he stood between the Dobermans and me. There he remained 13 my four legged offenders withdrew to their home.

have taken
be trained
from
1. 【解析】 考查动名词。句意：有些人为了及时送餐甚至闯红灯。risk doing sth为固定搭配，意为“冒险做某事”。故填running。
2. 【解析】 考查冠词。句意：这种粗心行为上升的原因是对外卖员的需求量大造成的，而且许多公司为了吸引新外卖员而提供高薪。demand 为可数名称，且large的发音为辅音音素，所以用a来表示泛指。a large demand for … 意为“对……巨大的需求量”。故填a。

7. 【解析】 考查副词。句意：虽然大多数公司要求外卖员遵守交通规则，但这些要求和规则是否得到严格遵守，仍然是个问题。分析句子可知，空处在句中修饰动词obey，所以用其副词形式。故填strictly。

9. 【解析】 考查虚拟语气。句意：上海要求外卖员接受交通规则和安全方面的培训。分析句子可知，本句中require表示“要求”，所接宾语从句要用虚拟语气should＋动词原形，should可省略。本句中的外卖员是被培训，要用(should) be trained。故填be trained。
10. 【解析】 考查介词。句意：现在在深圳，如果外卖员违反交通规则超两次，他或她将一整年被禁止驾驶外卖车辆。ban sb from doing sth为固定搭配，意为“禁止某人做某事”。故填from。

2. 寻求前文与续写段段首句之间的内在联系，站在作者的角度，设计并发展情节，前后时态保持一致，想象要合理，情节要连贯，并且注意前后文的续写在逻辑上要保持一致。
3. 后续情节一般为故事的高潮，是原作者声音的延续，因此要尽量符合原文的思路。
4. 续写内容要积极、健康、向上，展现事物美好的一面。
5. 平时多积累英语常用句型和地道表达，不要自己生硬地造句。以精悍短小的句子为主，长短句结合使用。短句多使用非谓语动词、介词短语和省略。长句多使用强调句型、定语从句等。
三、 经典句式
1. 常用情景对话句式。
(1) “Why don't you want to accept this wonderful opportunity？” asked the boss on the phone.
(2) “Shall we leave now？” he whispered to us and we left the room quietly.
(3) “Help! Help! I can't swim，” screamed the frightened boy.
(4) “Please don't hurt my cat，” begged Sarah as her brother picked it up by one leg.
(5) “I'd like to live in a castle of my own too，” agreed the young prince.
(6) “Yes. I bought a car and a new flat this winter，” my father replied.
(7) “Are you coming with us？” shouted Li Ming to his friends on the other side of the room.
(8) “I didn't like that meal at all，” complained the customer.
(9) “Perhaps you would like to go this way？” suggested the man shyly.
2. 适当使用介词with/without。
(1) The potential house buyer came with confidence.
(2) The man answered without hesitation.
(3) With the lights on, the elderly woman left the room.
(4) With a book in his arm, he left the room.
(5) With so much work to do, she will have a hard time.
(6) With so much work done, she felt relaxed.
3. 适当使用非谓语动词。
(1) We thanked the elderly couple and felt a sense of warmth, deeply moved.
(2) The owner smiled, saying, “Tell me why you need this house.”
(3) “May I ask why？” I asked, surprised.
4. 使用副词：此类词可以放在句首、句中或句尾，修饰动作。
(1) He gave her the child to hold. Lovingly, she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips, then stared wildly around the room, fell back—and died.
(2) His mother was sleeping when he woke up. Joyfully, he slid out of the room.
5. 使用形容词短语：形容词短语如果平常化使用，也会失去色彩，以下列举的形容词短语可以去掉be动词直接放到句首或句尾，用逗号与主句隔开，起到强调作用，烘托出主人公的心理活动及变化，作为对主语的重要补充。
(1) We had no idea where we were and it got dark. Exhausted and hungry, I wondered if we could find our way back.
(2) Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. Afraid that I might hurt the lovely creature, I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse.
6. 使用强调句型。
It is not money but love that matters.
7. 使用定语从句。
I want to give it to those who can fill it with love instead of money.

As we came down to breakfast that morning, with very shiny faces and clean aprons, we found Dad alone in the dining room.
“Happy New Year, Dad! Where is Mom？” we cried.
“A little boy came begging and said they were starving at home, so your mother went to see and—ah, here she is.”
As Dad spoke, in came Mom, looking very cold, rather sad, and very much excited.
“Children, don't begin till you hear what I have to say，” she cried and we sat staring at her, with the breakfast untouched before us.
“Not far away from here, lies a poor woman with a little newborn baby. Six children are huddled into one bed to keep from freezing, for they have no fire. There is nothing to eat over there; and the oldest boy came here to tell me they were starving this bitter cold day. My little girls, will you give them your breakfast, as a New Year's gift？”
We sat silent for a minute, and looked at the nice, hot porridge, creamy milk, and good bread and butter.
“I wish we'd eaten it up，” thought I, for I was rather a selfish child, and very hungry.
“I'm so glad you come before we begin，” said Nan, cheerfully.
“May I go and help carry it to the poor little children？” asked Beth, who had the tenderest heart.
“I can carry the last pot，” said little May, proudly giving the thing she loved best.
“And I shall take all the porridge，” I burst in, heartily ashamed of my first feeling.
“You shall put on your things and help me, and when we come back, we'll get something to eat，” said Mom, beginning to pile the bread and butter into a big basket.

With May and Beth carrying the pot and I holding the porridge, we closely trailed Mom. We plodded forward in the harsh wind and heavy snow. Then appeared a shabby house and in we popped. What greeted our eyes shocked us: at one end of the bed huddled six kids shivering with cold and the other lay a weak woman who just gave birth to a fragile child. Dirty pans and pots scattered about, with cockroaches creeping on the cracked floor.　
Seeing the house totally in a mess, we began to work immediately._______ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
May helped sweep the floor. Beth and Nan cleaned the sink. Mom and I started a fire, which immediately heated up the place. The oldest brother joined us and set the table, which was now laid with lukewarm porridge, creamy milk and yummy bread. All the work done, we sat around and enjoyed the delicious food with Mom complimenting it was the most meaningful New Year she had ever had. Meanwhile, tears of gratitude twinkled in the family's eyes as no words could convey with their appreciation toward us.

Ⅱ. 阅读理解。
Few of nature's animals are as misunderstood as bats. We at the US Fish and Wildlife Service want to set the record straight and help others understand the importance of bats. Though often feared and disliked as bad creatures of the night, bats are vital to the health of our environment and our economy.
Bats play an essential role in pest control, pollinating plants and spreading seeds. Recent studies estimate that bats eat enough pests to save more than $1 billion per year in crop damage and pesticide costs in the United States corn industry alone. While many bats eat insects, others feed on nectar and provide pollination for plants like peaches and bananas. A third bat food source is fruit, leading to another important role—seed dispersal. Fruit eating bats can account for as much as 95% of the seed dispersal, responsible for early growth in recently cleared rainforests.
Unfortunately, bats are declining across the globe. Many bats are needlessly killed because people do not understand the important role bats play in a healthy ecosystem. For bats that hibernate in caves, human activities resulting in loss of habitat and interruptions during hibernation are harmful. Making matters worse, a fungal disease called white nose syndrome has claimed the lives of more than 5 million bats since its discovery in 2006. The fungus can be transmitted from bat to bat, cave to bat and even cave to cave. Since many bats hibernate in the same caves over the winter, the fungus can kill an entire bat colony once established.
We are now working to protect bats, research treatments to stop the spread of white nose syndrome and raise awareness about just how incredible, and vulnerable(脆弱的), bats are. We complete bat surveys and use bands and transmitters to learn more about movements, habitats and lifespans. Hopefully, the more we know about them, the greater the chance they will survive.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们对蝙蝠的误解，并说明了蝙蝠对于环境和经济的重要性。

The mascot for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Bing Dwen Dwen, has enjoyed an increasing rise in popularity. It seems to have taken the gold for the most favoured prop for athlete snapshots. Such has been the surge(激增) in popularity that products with its image are difficult to get in the Winter Olympic Village. 1 Some say the mascot has become the best ambassador for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
. 2 Its shape combines the image of a panda with an ice crystal shell, inspired by the “ice ribbon” of the National Speed Skating Oval. The flowing colour lines symbolize the ice and snow sports track. The design conveys the charm of China and expresses the beauty of the Olympic Games.
There have been continual demands to increase supply and end the shortage. A toy manufacturing company, located in Qidong, Nantong, Jiangsu Province, is one of the three companies in China that participate in designing and manufacturing the mascot. 3 In the production workshop, the semi finished Bing Dwen Dwens pile upon the processing tabletop. Workers put on a transparent “coat”， install it on a fixed base, and wrap it in a special packaging box. 4 A worker, surnamed Shen, is responsible for installing the base for Bing Dwen Dwen. In order to ensure that the doll does not fall, and looks elfish(精灵般的), she must test it. 5 .

I'm originally from Orange County, California, where I had the pleasure and honor of serving as a Newport Beach ocean lifeguard for five seasons. Whenever I could, I got shifts working the Point. If you wanted to save lives, that's where you worked. The Point was known for its massive rip currents(激流)．
So, late in a shift, I was working Tower 15. Two blocks to my right was another guard named Mike, working Tower 17. I'd known Mike for a number of years. Mike had a rough upbringing. You can tell just by looking at him. He has a number of really frightening tattoos(文身), and his bald head shows the scar he got from a broken beer bottle. Maybe he wasn't the friendliest guard on the beach. I admit, I didn't really get along with Mike. But everything he lacked in friendly appearance and social skills, he more than made up for in lifesaving ability.
He called me over the phone and said, “Hey, I got a couple of kids. I gotta go and give them a warning. Keep an eye on us.”
I said, “Sure，” and hung up.
Anytime you get out of your tower, you're supposed to let somebody else know, in case a situation develops. And sure enough, as soon as he hung up the phone, a rip was snapped up under these two kids, and they're getting sucked out. Mike saw it before it's happening, and he was running full speed toward the ocean. I scanned the water. All I saw was two small noses bobbing(上下浮动) in the water.
I dropped my binos(望远镜) and I called in and said, “Double rescue 17—he's out. I'm going.” Mike was already punching through the surf line. By now, the mother of the two kids realized what was happening. She was on her feet and screaming.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Mike reached the kids—a brother and sister around eight or nine years old. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
He got to the boy first, and when he turned to the girl, he had to reach down into the water and catch her by the hair to pull her back up. Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water and started to bring them in. When I reached their mother, Mike was in waist deep water. I turned to their mother and said, “Hey, it's gonna be OK. They're safe.” I saw the terror start to drain out of her.　
Then the mother glanced back and got her first good look at Mike, as well as his tattoos.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And a crazy thing happened. I saw a new kind of panic wash over her because of the tattoos on Mike's arms. She rushed up to Mike and snatched her kids. Not even a thank you. Mike just shrugged, and jogged back to his tower. As I jogged back to my tower, I promised myself I'd never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a hero only because I don't see friendly appearance in him.

Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the avid runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again.
Indeed, although Panek had been crazy about running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too challenging. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.
Step Ⅴ： Homework.
Even so, the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from conquering a course on your own terms—eluded(躲避) him. “When you're tied to another person, it's no longer your own race，”the 48 year old said. “The independence isn't quite there.”
Then Panek found a friend—indeed, man's best friend—who would help him achieve that sense of purpose. He started running with a guide dog named Gus. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually disabled.
On March 16, 2019, Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marathon. At that moment, they both breezed into the history books. Panek, who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes, became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.
Brandishing their respective medals, Panek and Gus—who would retire after the race—shared a breathless embrace.“It's a little emotional for me because he's been there with me the whole time，” Panek said.
But Panek was quick to point out that it wasn't just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes. In all, three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line. Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early legs of the course, each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21 kilometer race.
With retirement looming, it would be the faithful yellow lab's last race. But for Panek, the road ahead remains long and bright—not only for him, but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了25年前失明的热爱跑步的Panek，在导盲犬的帮助下依然坚持跑步，并且在纽约半程马拉松比赛中，跑完全程并给那些仍希望追逐梦想的残疾人带来了希望。
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
( ) 1. When did Thomas become blind
A. When he was about 23 years old.　
B. When he was 25 years old.
C. When he was in high school.　
D. When he was 48 years old.
A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘When you're tied to another person, it's no longer your own race，’ the 48 year old said.”可知，Panek是48岁；再结合第一段中“When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago…”可知，Panek大约25年前失明的。由此可知，他应是大约23岁时失明的。故选A。
( ) 2. Why did Panek get himself the guide dog Gus
A. Because he didn't want to have another person with him.
B. Because he wanted to found Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
C. Because he wanted to help those with visual disability.
D. Because he wanted to enjoy the delight of running independently.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even so, the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from conquering a course on your own terms—eluded(躲避) him.”可知，Panek找导盲犬是为了体会跑步的真正乐趣，以自己的方式征服比赛所带来的兴奋感。故选D。
D
( ) 3. What do we learn about the dog Gus from the passage
A. It was the first dog to lead a blind runner at the Half Marathon.
B. It ran the whole course of the New York City Half Marathon.
C. It ran eight kilometers with Thomas Panek at the race.
D. It wouldn't be working as a guide dog to Thomas Panek any more.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Brandishing their respective medals, Panek and Gus—who would retire after the race—shared a breathless embrace.”和最后一段中“With retirement looming, it would be the faithful yellow lab's last race.”可推知，Gus在这次比赛结束后要退役了，再也不能作为Panek的导盲犬了。故选D。
D
( ) 4. Which of the following best shows Thomas's qualities as a runner
A. Independent and caring.　 B. Passionate and persistent.
C. Crazy and emotional.　 D. Kind and helpful.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Indeed, although Panek had been crazy about running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too challenging. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.”可知，Panek对跑步充满热情，即使失明了，也没有放弃，而是在人类向导和导盲犬的帮助下去完成自己的追求。由此可推知，他是一个有热情而又坚持不懈的人。故选B。
B
二、 分析文章中下列句子的表达形式(指出下列句子的结构，如果是简单句，划出基本成分)。
1. When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the avid runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again.
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主谓宾结构。“When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago”是时间状语从句，主句的主语是“the avid runner”，谓语doubted后是宾语从句，省略了引导词that。
2. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually disabled.
【答案】 本句为并列句，两个分句都为主谓宾结构。前一分句为倒装结构，后一分句中an organization是同位语，后接过去分词短语“dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually disabled”作定语。

【答案】 事实上，尽管潘尼克从高中开始就疯狂地跑步，但盲人跑步的想法似乎太有挑战性了。但在人类向导的帮助下，他的梦想得以实现。

【答案】 即便如此，跑步的真正乐趣——以自己的方式征服一项比赛所带来的独立的兴奋感——是他无法体会的。
3. Then Panek found a friend—indeed, man's best friend—who would help him achieve that sense of purpose. He started running with a guide dog named Gus.
【答案】 后来，潘尼克找到了一个朋友——事实上，人类最好的朋友——可以帮助他实现目标。他开始和一只叫格斯的导盲犬一起跑步。
4. Brandishing their respective medals, Panek and Gus—who would retire after the race—shared a breathless embrace.

Ⅱ. 七选五。
阅读下面短文，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。
In today's world, technology is a part of daily life. In order to keep civilization hand in hand with technological advances, and to understand the connected future they will have, children in schools have to be taught technical skills. But how can teachers integrate(使……融入)technology into their classroom Here are a couple of ways.
Teach acceptance of connected learning. In the information age, it's only right to teach kids how to jump at connected learning. 1 For example, a tablet PC could be used in art class to draw pictures or even signs for the school.
Use a video chat system to teleconference. The idea of pen pals can be strengthened by video chat systems. 2 In this situation, children will learn how to share experiences and build new relationships from a distance. Teleconferencing is a great way to teach children about teleconferencing etiquette. 3 .
Develop a class wiki or blog. In order to help get your students active in class lessons, you can use a blog or wiki to make them comment on lessons, topics and current events. Students should also be allowed to create new posts about news or their thoughts. 4 .
Create a podcast(播客) for your class. Technology is always about being seen. 5 It can also be used to be heard. With a classroom podcast, you can read passages from a textbook or a novel or schedule discussions on a certain topic that's in line with your curriculum. This will teach broadcasting skills, speaking skills and critical thinking skills.
A. This is a great way to improve creative writing.
B. You can also upload videos to a private channel.
C. However, it's wrong to think it's only about being seen.
D. This will show them how to solve complex maths problems.
E. This includes using technology as a tool or a way to learn new concepts.
F. For example, you can teach children when it's alright to connect and how to act when on camera.
G. These systems can also be used to connect with students from other classrooms that are far away.
1. 　2. 　3. 　4. 　5. .

Ⅰ. 话题拓展阅读。
During the rosy years of elementary school, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
Step Ⅴ： Homework.
Popularity is a well explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables' plays well with others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work. Then there's the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage in dangerous and risky behavior”．
In one study, Dr Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调研). “We found that the least well liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”
Dr Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research, Dr Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage，” he said.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了青少年小学与中学阶段的受欢迎类型及其影响。
一、 阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
( ) 1. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school
A. Unkind. 　 B. Lonely. 　
C. Generous. 　 D. Cool.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，作者小时候喜欢分享玩具和笑话，这让她在同学中有较高的社会地位。share是“慷慨”的表现。故选C。
C
( ) 2. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior.
【解析】 段落大意题。根据第二段内容可知，临床心理学教授对“受欢迎”进行分类：受人喜爱的人和追求地位的人。前者能与他人相处融洽的品质加强了校园友谊，激发了人际交往技能，并且在很早的时候，就被用在了生活和工作中；而后者通过权力享有地位，甚至有不光彩的行为。所以本段的中心是对“受欢迎的人”的分类。故选A。
A
( ) 3. What did Dr Prinstein's study find about the most liked kids
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“We found that the least well liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.”可知，受人喜爱的人能够进行健康的调整，而地位高的人却相反。故选B。
B
( ) 4. What is the best title for the text
A. Be Nice—You Won't Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Better
C. Be the Best—You Can Make It

A
二、 分析文章中下列句子的表达形式(指出下列句子的结构，如果是简单句，划出基本成分)。
1. During the rosy years of elementary school, I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my high social status.
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主谓宾结构。“which allowed me to keep my high social status”是非限制性定语从句。
2. Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr Prinstein's studies show unpleasant consequences.
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主谓宾结构。as引导的倒装句“Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed”作让步状语从句，“Dr Prinstein's studies”是主语，show是谓语，“unpleasant consequences”是宾语。
3. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage in dangerous and risky behavior”．
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主系表结构。两个those 是主语，第一个those后接了一个定语从句，第二个those后“least liked in elementary school”是过去分词作后置定语。
4. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.
【答案】 本句为主从复合句，主句为主谓宾结构。It是主语，that引导的宾语从句中，主句是“high status has just the opposite effect on us”， “while likability can lead to healthy adjustment”是让步状语从句。
三、 翻译文章中的下列句子。
1. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.
【答案】 他们不是因为与人为善而名声大噪，而是由于抽烟、违纪、捉弄他人等恶习。很快，我也随波逐流，成了他们中的一份子。
2. The likables' plays well with others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work.
【答案】 受人喜爱的人与他人相处融洽的特质可以加强校园友谊，提升了人际交往能力，而且，这种品质如果发掘得早，会在日后的生活和工作中终身受用。
3. In one study, Dr Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys.
【答案】 在一项研究中，普林斯坦博士对235名青少年进行了两种受欢迎度的细致分析，并基于学生研究对最不受欢迎者、最受欢迎者和地位最高者进行了评分。
4. Dr Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date—sharing, kindness, openness—carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
【答案】 普林斯坦博士还发现，那些让邻居们想和你一起玩的品质——分享、友善、开放——会延续到以后的岁月，让你更好地与他人相处和联系。

How did music begin Did our early ancestors first start by beating things together to create rhythm 1 Has music always been important in human society, and if so, why These are some questions explored in a recent article published in Frontiers in Sociology. The answers reveal that the story of music is, in many ways, the story of humans.
So, what is music This is difficult to answer, as everyone has their own idea. Jeremy Montagu, author of the article, says, “ 2 ” A mother humming(哼唱) to calm her baby would probably count as music.
Another important component of music is rhythm. Our early ancestors may have created rhythmic music by clapping their hands. 3 At that time somebody realized that smacking stones or sticks together doesn't hurt your hands as much. Many of these instruments are likely to have been made from soft materials like wood, and so haven't survived. What have survived are bone pipes.
So, we know that music is old, and may have been with us from when humans first evolved. 4 There are many possible functions for music. One is dancing. It is unknown if the first dancers created a musical accompaniment, or if music led to people moving rhythmically. Another obvious reason for music is entertainment, which can be personal or communal. Music can also be used for communication, often over large distances, using instruments such as drums or horns.
“Music leads to bonding, such as bonding between mother and child or bonding between groups，” explains Montagu. “Music keeps workers happy when doing repetitive and otherwise boring work, and helps everyone to move together.” He concludes: “It has even been suggested that music, in causing such bonding, created not only the family but society itself.”
A. Sound that conveys emotion.
B. Were they the earliest forms of music
C. What types of instruments did they use
D. But why did it arise and why has it persisted
E. More importantly, music brings people together.
F. This may be linked to the earliest musical instruments.
G. It is a strong regular repeated pattern of sounds and movements.

4. 【解析】 根据下文“There are many possible functions for music.”可知，本段主要解释了音乐出现并得以延续的原因。D项符合语境。故选D。
5. 【解析】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Music leads to bonding, such as bonding between mother and child or bonding between groups”及“created not only the family but society itself”可知，本段主要讲述的是音乐把人们联系在一起。E项符合语境。故选E。

The produce dries out or goes bad, which has led scientists to develop ways of coating or sealing the food to keep it fresher for longer. Now research at Rice University reveals there might be a better way.
Scientists discovered that dipping produce like strawberries and bananas into an egg based wash is remarkably good for preserving it. The coating is extremely thick, and made from a mixture of powdered egg whites and yolks(70%), and some wood sourced cellulose to act as a barrier preventing water loss.
What the scientists found was that the egg wash made a significant difference in helping produce stay fresh over a two week observation period. The appearance of the coated fruits and vegetables didn't change much, while the uncoated produce ripened and even rotted within the same time frame. The egg based coating, as it turned out, reduced each fruit's chance to get exposed to oxygen.
The non poisonous coating was found to be flexible and tests showed that it was just as tough as other products, including synthetic films, used in produce packaging. For anyone with an egg allergy, the coating can be removed by thorough washing in water and is tasteless.
The scientists hope this could be a breakthrough in the fight against food waste. “Reducing food shortages in ways that are not related to genetic modification, uneatable coatings or chemical additives is important for better sustainable living，” said materials scientist and study author Pulickel Ajayan.
What's great about this discovery is that it fights food waste in more than one way: even the coating was made from eggs that would otherwise have been discarded because they weren't fit for consumption. The researchers said roughly 200 million of US produced eggs go to waste annually. So if this were scaled up, it could be a win win situation all around.

words: overwhelmingly; longing; wayward; anguish; shiver; rim; abyss; union; saint; Pythagorean; sway; flux; echo; torture; oppressor; mockery; clarity; prologue; pacifist; compassionate; gynaecology; obstetrics; magnet
phrases: come as no surprise; speak out against; to the extent; to this day
sentence patterns:
These passions, like great winds, have blown me in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very edge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings delight—delight so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.
And I have tried to understand the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens.
I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.
British philosopher, mathematician and writer Bertrand Russell(1872—1970) has had a major influence on Western philosophy.
His works, beautifully written with clarity of thought, are generally regarded as modern classics.
Russell regarded these passions as worthy beliefs and pursued them all his life.
Russell's first passion, the longing for love, played a powerful motivating role in his life.
It is the ultimate emotional experience that people could share with each other.
Russell's acknowledgement of the importance of seeking knowledge at every opportunity, whether to better understand our fellow man or the world in which we live, comes as no surprise.
Widely acknowledged as an expert in many fields, Russell actively followed his second passion.
Human suffering is, unfortunately, universal, inevitable and inescapable, of which Russell was all too aware.
Pity for the suffering of mankind became his third passion, which led him to dedicate much of his life to easing the pain of others through political and social activism.
He was also an active participant in improving the rights of women.
Russell is outstanding to the extent that his contributions and achievements still remain relevant to this day.
