I am astonished at the way God knows when to send a special gift of encouragement at just the right time! It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we’d forgotten about.
My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People knew everyone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.
Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting …She would make sandwiches and we’d have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts
for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble ( 顶针) she would place on her finger while doing her
needlework.
A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven,
I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her
91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from
Grandma. She’d never forgotten my birthday!
On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened and made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow；it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (缝) that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble!
How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing k had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing h into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff (抖松), to place on my bedspread (床罩) that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others Id collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow. I heated the kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and then enjoyed my tea and Grandma’s thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!
24. In the author’s memory, what would
her grandmother do? A. She would make
sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.
B. She would wear a thimble for
needlework every day.
C. She would make beautiful quilts for money.
D. She would look after the flowers in the garden.
25. What does the underlined word “it”
in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The modern
world’s fast-changing life.
B. The fact that the
grandmother had passed away.
C. The author’s missing her
grandmother.
D. The love the author got from her grandmother.
26. How did the author feel when she found the thimble?
A. Surprised.
B. Regretful.
C. Guilty.
D. Lonely.
27. Which of the following might be the
best title for the passage? A. Grandma’s
Thimble
B. Grandma’s Life Story
C. The Joy of Finding Something Lost
D. The Importance of Putting Things Away
C
More and more comments sections are being shut down online.
Autumn Phillips had had enough. On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, , and saw a
story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the reade rs’comments sections at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of comments—a racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police …So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections.
Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced k too was closing its online comments sections. The decisions don’t mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences
are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed
that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.
In early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, that’s not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today.
“S ince we made the announcement, I’ve received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “I’ve heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. I’ve heard from people who said they wouldn’t send in letters to the editor because they were attacked so fiercely by comments, and wasn’t worth it.”
28. Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections?
A. They were put to wrong use.
B. Her website was
attacked heavily.
C. They exposed
many illegal
issues.
D. She was angry about reade rs’ comments.
29. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3
indicate about comments? A. They were out of date.
B. They had gone against
their original intentions. C.
They were full of sensitive
information.
D. They couldn’t interest the audience.
30. What was the welcome change in the
early digital journalism? A. Readers,
having more access to news.
B. Readers’making less
negative comments. C.
Readers’freedom to
express their thoughts.
D. Reade rs’active involvement in the news industry.
31. How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips, move according to the last paragraph?
A. Cautious.
B. Hopeful.
C. Surprised.
D. Supportive.
D
Every country may have to consider what, if anything, to do about “global warmi ng”. We should understand that the oft-repeated claim that nearly all scientists demand that something dramatic be done to stop global warming is not true.
Perhaps the most inconvenient fact is the lack of global warming for well over 10 years now. This is known to the warming establishment, as one can see from the 2009 “Climategate” email of climate scientist Kevin Trenberth: “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is an irony that we can’t.”But the warming is only missing if one believes computer models where so-called feedback involving water vapor and clouds greatly amplifies the small effect of CO2. The fact is that CO2 is not a pollutant and it is a
key component of the biosphere (生物圈)’s life cycle. Plants get better growth with more of it and part of the
increase of agricultural yields in the past century certainly came from additional CO2 in the atmosphere.
Although the number of the scientists who are publicly opposed to the claim is growing, many young scientists secretly say that while they also have serious doubts about the global-warming message, they are afraid to speak up for fear of not being promoted or worse.
Why is there so much passion about global warming? There are several reasons, but a good place to start is
the old question “Cui bono?”, or the modern update, “F ollow the money”. Alarmism (危言耸听) over climate is of great benefit to many, providing government funding for academic research, and thus those people who benefit from this fiercely defended
their dogma (信条) and the privileges it brought them.
Every country should support rational (合理的) measures to protect and improve our environment, but it
makes no sense at all to back expensive programs that turn away resources from real needs and are based on alarming but shaky claims of “incontrovertible”evidence.
32. What can we infer about the author’s
opinion on global warming? A. Global warming
hasn’t happened in the latest 10 years.
B. Global warming has become an urgent
problem these years. C. Global warming
has worsened a little bit in the recent
years.
D. Global warming has never happened since
measures were taken.
33. Which of the following statements about CO2 does the
writer probably agree with? A. CO2 greatly affects the
global warming.
B. CO2 makes crops
more productive.
C. CO2 involves
water vapor and
clouds.
D. CO2 is the most important
part of the biosphere.
34. Why is there so much passion
for global warming?
A. Because t is a good chance for young
scientists to be promoted. B. Because the
scientists want to have an insight into the
problem. C. Because the government values
the problem and tries to solve it.
D. Because some people can greatly benefit
from the research about it.
35. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the programs to protect
and improve our environment? A. To support all the programs as long
as they are beneficial.
B. To support cheap programs instead
of expensive ones. C.To support the
programs that are necessary and
reliable.
D. To support those programs that use less money and resources. 第二节

When you got sick, did your parents and doctors make you drink a “terrible s oup”?

Humans should follow the natural rules to stay healthy. Old Greece and Egypt created western medicine. 38 . Western doctors check people’s height, weight, blood pressure and body temperature.
39 . “Bringing together western medicine and TCM can use collective knowledge, rather than create competition between them. It can develop the great effects of both of them,”said Bernhard Schwartlander, a World Health Organization representative in China.
On Dec 6, a government document reported that 86 countries and regions are now developing TCM together with China. In 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize. 40 . Today, with more and people paying attention to TCM, it will definitely have a bright future.

To whom it may concern,
I’m Li Hua, a middle school student from China. Having seen the notice posted
on the Internet, I’m writing to apply for the summer vacation camp to be held in
Australia by the United Nations.
I believe that I’m fairly qualified in English. In my daily life, I never give
up an opportunity to practice both oral and written English, such as joining in
my school’s English corner or communicating with foreign pen pals. I also placed
first in the last two annual English speaking contests my school has held. On top
of my English abilities, I am a friendly person who is easy to get on with. I love
working through assignments as part of a team, and I’m also passionate and
optimistic in whatever I’m dealing with.
If I were chosen to take part in this summer camp, it would be a great chance
to share the beauty of Chinese
culture with others, as well as to get to learn about other countries and cultures.
I hope you will consider me for
this amazing opportunity, and I would appreciate it if you could keep me informed
of your decision. I look forward to your reply.
