A
Rosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(校园欺凌). She posted the lesson on Facebook, where it's been shared more than 160,000 times.
Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with
two red apples. What the kids didn't know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect.
“I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.”Some of the children looked at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.
Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was show ered with words like: “Your skin is beautiful,” and “ what a beautiful colour you have.”
Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “there was no change, and both apples still looked the same.”
Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple—the one they'd treated poorly —was bruised（瘀伤的) beneath its skin.
“I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bulli ed, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.”
Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying.
“Let's create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”
21.What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?
A.She had introduced it to the kids.
B.She had coloured it brightly.
C.She had made it look perfect.
D.She had damaged it purposely.
22.What does the underlined part “calling it names” (Para. 3) mean?
A.Shouting at it.
B.Making fun of it.
C.Cheering for it.
D.Saying rude things.
23.What did the teacher tell the kids to do with the second apple?
A.Drop it.
B.Praise it.
C.Ignore it.
D.Respect it.
24.What's the purpose of the teacher's using two apples in class?
A.To draw the kids' attention.
B.To explain her personal preferences.
C.To help the kids understand the results of bullying.
D.To make a comparison between them.
B
I can’t think of a better way of appreciating a new culture than by taking part in one of its festivals. You’ll find that some festivals are celebrated by an entire country, while others may be known only to a single city or region, but either way festivals play an important role in a certain culture. Just enjoy them!
★ Tomatina — Bunol, Spain
Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is filled with tons of tomatoes in the world’s biggest food flight. Many people wear goggles during this hour of great fun, as the town becomes a red river.
★ Boryeong Mud Festival — Boryeong, South Korea
For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as a way to help sell the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a festive party with music and fireworks. The mud is usually only available in cosmetic products (化妆品), but here you can cake yourself in grey as you want. ★ Holi — India
Holi, the Festival of Colors, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s
most important holidays. During the day of the last full moon of the lunar month, usually late February or early March, the air is full of brightly colored powder (粉末). The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country, with bonfires and music, but the cheerful spirit is common among Hindu people around the world. ★ International Pillow Fight Day — Worldwide
Tens of thousands of people took part in the 4th annual International Pillow Fight Day on April 2,2013. From London to Vancouver to many other cities, the festival is held in more than 100 countries. So just bring a soft pillow in early April, and watch feathers fly.
25.According to the author, ________.
A. there should be festivals celebrated by the whole world
B. festivals give people the best chances to experience a culture
C. it’s usually hard for people to accept a different culture
D. festivals in a certain culture often change with time
26.We learn from the passage that ________.
A. the town of Bunol in Spain is on a river
B. cosmetic products sell well on Boryeong Mud Festival
C. International Pillow Fight Day has a short history
D. Holi is the greatest festival for Indian people
27.The passage is most likely to be found in ________.
A. a personal diary
B. a technical report
C. a geography book
D. a travel magazine
C
Finding the Real You
Psychometric testing — personality testing — has been very popular nowadays as studies show their results to be three times more accurate in predicting your job performance. These tests are now included in almost all graduate recruitment (招聘) and are widely used in the selection of managers.
The most popular of these personality tests is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). It is based on the theory that we are born with a tendency to one personality type
which stays more or less fixed throughout life. You answer 88 questions and are then given your “type”, such as Outgoing or Quiet, Feeling or Thinking.
Critics of personality testing raise doubts about “social engineering”. Psychologist Dr. Colin Gill warns that the “popular” personality traits (特性) have their disadvantages. “People who are extremely open to new experiences can be butterflies, going from one idea to the next without mastering any of them.” However, the psychometric test is here to stay, which may be why a whole sub-industry on cheating personality tests has sprung up. “It’s possible to cheat,” admits Gill, “but having to pretend to be the person you are at work will be tiring and unhappy and probably short-lived.”
So can we change our personality? “Your basic personality is fixed by the time you’re 21,” says Gill, “but it can be affected by motivation and intelligence. If you didn’t have the personality type to be a doctor but desperately wanted to be one and were intelligent enough to master the skills, you could still go ahead. But trying to go too much against type for too long requires much energy and is actually to be suffered for long. I think it’s why we’re seeing this trend for downshifting —too many people trying to fit in to a type that they aren’t really suited for.”Our interest in personality now exists in every part of our lives. If you ask an expert for advice on anything, you’ll probably be quizzed about your personality. But if personality tests have any value to us, perhaps it is to free us from the idea that all of us are full of potential, and remind us of what we are. As they say in one test when they ask for your age: pick the one you are, not the one you wish you were.
28.The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the belief that __________.
A. personality is largely decided from birth
B. certain personality traits are common
C. some personality types are better than others
D. personality traits are various from time to time
29.According to Dr. Gill, what is the problem with personality tests?
A. The results could be opposite to what employers want.
B. People can easily lie about their true abilities.
C. Employers often find the results unclear.
D. They may have a negative effect on takers.
30.In Dr. Gill’s view, how easy is it to change your personality?
A. It’s possible in your adult life.
B. It’s easy if you have great motivation.
C. It’s unlikely because it requires much energy.
D. It’s difficult before the age of 21.
31.What final conclusion does the author reach about the value of personality tests?
A. They are of doubtful value to employers.
B. They are not really worth doing.
C. They can strengthen the idea we have of our abilities.
D. They may encourage greater realism.
D
Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging (抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes' color or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn't drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk, and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way. You can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli, “it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.”
The Internet is one example. What will be the next?
32.We can learn from the text that in the future ___________.
A.people will never get old
B.everyone will look the same
C.red will be the most popular color
D.clothes will be able to change their pattern
33.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
k will be harmful to health.
B.More drinks will be available for sale.
C.Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.
k in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.
34.Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A.Cars will be able to drive automatically.
B.Fridges will know what people need.
C.Nothing can replace the Internet.
D.Jacked sleeves can be used as a guide.
35What is the text mainly about?
A.Food and clothing in 2035.
B.Future technology in everyday life.
C.Medical treatments of the future.
D.The reason for the success of new technology.

72.One possible version：
Nowadays, it seems that the Moments section of Wechat has become a popular part of the social networking platform. But do you think parents should be allowed to see their children's Moments? According to the newly- conducted survey above, the results are as follows:
40% of the students surveyed think parents should be allowed.Firstly,welcoming parents to their Moments will promote understanding and strengthen mutual communication.Besides,teenagers are easily misled by the complicated society.If they give their parents a place in their online world, they can be protected. However, 60% of the participants think otherwise. First and foremost, everyone needs some privacy and has their own secrets and lifestyles. Moreover, the generation gap is always a big problem.A lot of misunderstandings may arise if parents are enabled to see the posts.
Anyway, in my opinion, I believe blocking our parents in Moments is not a bad idea, as no social media can replace face-to-face communication.。
