A magazine.B. An essay.C. A report.D. A website.BThree months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005,Rebecca Sell,then 24,a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums.As she took the photo,something within her clicked."I told them I could take the ruined pictures,copy them and give them digitally restored (修复)photos," she recalls.Although a bit sceptical,the couple agreed.Rebecca took their photos home,restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home."It felt so good to be able to do that for them," says Rebecca.When her editor,Dave Ellis,saw the photo of the couple,he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people.So in January 2006,with paid time off from the paper,the two set up shop in Pass Christian.After posting a notice in the community newsletter,Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days.For each,the pair took a new digital picture,then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors.It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave's blog about the experience,and soon Operation Photo Rescue,as it came to be known,had emails from hundreds of volunteers,including photographers and restoration experts,eager to help.Though digital restoration is a painstaking process,mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster,71,who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina,never thinking the mess could be saved.But she just couldn't bear to part with a few treasured pictures,including a portrait of her father,who had passed away,and a photo of her husband as a boy.Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue."I didn't have a whole lot of hope they could fix them,but they did," Emily says."Almost every day I think about all the pictures I've lost.I'm so happy to have these two."In the five years since Katrina,Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods,hurricanes and tornadoes.Volunteers make "copy runs" to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors;operating costs are covered by donations."It's great to be able to give people some of their history back," says Rebecca."One person told me that thanks to us,her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away.Moments like that remind me why I do this."4.When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple,she decided to ______ .A. take them to their temporary homeB. help with their damaged photosC. set up shop in Pass ChristianD. cover Hurricane Katrina5.From Paragraph 2,we know that Dave and Rebecca ______ .A. quit their jobs in 2006B. inspired volunteers to join themC. spent four days mending the photosD. made their work known in their newspaper6.How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue?______A. Excited.B. Hopeless.C. Satisfied.D. Sceptical.7.What is the best title for the passage?______A. Surviving HurricanesB. An Act of GenerosityC. Saving MemoriesD. A Lucky CoupleCLike many other people who speak more than one language,I often have the sense that I'm a slightly different person in each of my languages-more confident in English,more relaxed in French,more emotional in Czech.Is it possible that,along with these differences,my moral compass (指南针)also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I'm using at the time?Psychologists who study moral judgments have become very interested in this question.The findings of several recent studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas (困境),they do indeed respond differently when considering them in a foreign language than when using their native tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa,volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the "trolley problem":imagine that a runaway trolley is moving quickly toward a group of five people standing on the tracks,unable to move.You are next to a switch that can move the trolley to a different set of tracks,therefore sparing the five people,but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks.Do you pull the switch?Most people agree that they would.But what if the only way to stop the trolley is by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path?People tend to be very hesitant to say they would do this,even though in both situations,one person is sacrificed to save five.But Costa and his colleagues found that presenting the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their stated willingness to push the sacrificial person off the footbridge,from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one?According to one explanation,such judgments involve two separate and competing ways of thinking-one of these,a quick,natural "feeling," and the other,careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number.When we use a foreign language,we unconsciously sink into the more careful way simply because the effort of operating in our non-native language signals our cognitive (认知的)system to prepare for difficult activity.An alternative explanation is that differences arise between native and foreign tongues because our childhood languages are filled with greater emotions than are those learned in more academic settings.As a result,moral judgments made in a foreign language are less filled with the emotional reactions that surface when we use a language learned in childhood.There's strong evidence that memory connects a language with the experiences and interactions through which that language was learned.For example,people who are bilingual (双语的)are more likely to recall an experience if reminded in the language in which that event occurred.Our childhood languages,learned in the middle of passionate emotion,become filled with deep feeling.By comparison,languages acquired late in life,especially if theyare learned through limited interactions in the classroom or dully delivered over computer screens and headphones,enter our minds lacking the emotionality that is present for their native speakers.8.What does "this question" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. What contributes to one's language improvements?______B. Is it necessary to learn more than one foreign language?C. Does the language one uses influence one's moral judgments?D. How do people deal with moral dilemmas in a foreign language?9.When the "trolley problem" was presented in a foreign language,volunteers were morelikely to ______ .A. care less about the five peopleB. pull the switch to the side tracksC. remain hesitant about what to doD. sacrifice the stranger on the footbridge10.The underlined word in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. considerationB. guidanceC. selectionD. arrangement11.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?______A. Bilingual people are less emotional than others.B. Native language learning involves greater emotions.C. Childhood memories limit foreign language learning.D. Academic settings promote foreign language learning.DWe talk continuously about how to make children more "resilient (有恢复力的)",but whatever we're doing,it's not working.Rates of anxiety disorders and depression are rising rapidly among teenagers.What are we doing wrong?Nassim Taleb invented the word "antifragile" and used it to describe a small but very important class of systems that gain from shocks,challenges,and disorder.The immune (免疫的)system is one of them:it requires exposure to certain kinds of bacteria and potential allergens (过敏原)in childhood in order to develop to its full ability.Children's social and emotional abilities are as antifragile as their immune systems.If we overprotect kids and keep them "safe" from unpleasant social situations and negative emotions,we deprive (剥夺)them of the challenges and opportunities for skill-building they need to grow strong.Such children are likely to suffer more when exposed later to other unpleasant but ordinary life events,such as teasing and social rejection.It's not the kids' fault.In the UK,as in the US,parents became much more fearful in the 1980s and 1990s as cable TV and later the Internet exposed everyone,more and more,to those rare occurrences of crimes and accidents that now occur less and less.Outdoor play and independent mobility went down;screen time and adult-monitored activities went up.Yet free play in which kids work out their own rules of engagement,take small risks,and learn to master small dangers turns out to be vital for the development of adult social and even physical competence.Depriving them of free play prevents their social-emotional growth.Norwegian play researchers Ellen Sandseter and Leif Kennair warned:"We may observe an increased anxiety or mental disorders in society if children are forbidden from participating in age adequate risky play."They wrote those words in 2011.Over the following few years,their prediction came true.Kids born after 1994 are suffering from much higher rates of anxiety disorders and depression than did the previous generation.Besides,there is also a rise in the rate at whichteenage girls are admitted to hospital for deliberately harming themselves.What can we do to change these trends?How can we raise kids strong enough to handle the ordinary and extraordinary challenges of life?We can't guarantee that giving primary school children more independence today will bring down the rate of teenage suicide tomorrow.The links between childhood overprotection and teenage mental illness are suggestive but not clear-cut.Yet there are good reasons to suspect that by depriving our naturally antifragile kids of the wide range of experiences they need to become strong,we are systematically preventing their growth.We should let go-and let them grow.12.Why does the author mention the immune system in Paragraph 2?______A. To stress its importance.B. To analyze the cause of anxiety.C. To question the latest discovery.D. To help understand a new word.13.Parents overprotect children because ______ .A. they are concerned about their children's safetyB. they want to keep children from being teasedC. parent-monitored activities are a mustD. children are not independent enough14.According to the author,free play can ______ .A. promote children's resilienceB. strengthen children's friendshipC. reduce children's risky behaviorD. develop children's leadership skills15.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?______A. Stop trying to perfect your child.B. It takes great courage to raise children.C. Prepare the child for the road,not the road for the child.D. While we try to teach our children all about life,our children teach us what life is allabout.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共10.0分)Today's students are surrounded by information.The ability to figure out exactly why authors write-and not accept every opinion as fact-is a key skill.(1) The following strategies teach them how to figure out why authors really write.Start with why."Why did the author write this piece?" is the key question asked to identify author's purpose.To help students expand their understanding of "why," post various types of nonfiction (an advertisement,opinion article,news article,etc.)around your classroom and have students quickly identify a purpose for each.(2)Talk about structure.Authors use different structures for different purposes.For example,one author may use time order to explain an event,while another author uses compare and contrast to put that event into context.(3) Often when authors write,they're trying to get readers to feel a certain way.Perhaps the author of an article about whale conservation wants readers to feel sad about the difficult situation of whales.Or the author of a letter may want to make the recipient feel better about a situation.After students read a text,stop and ask:How do you feel?And how did the author get you to feel this way?Connect it to students' own writing.It doesn't have to be said that writing and reading go hand in hand.(4) When students are asked to write about a topic that they think everyone should know about,to explain a procedure or to share a personal memory,they'll become moreconscious of how authors approach writing.Observe how purpose changes within a text.Author's purpose is often studied through the text as a whole,but authors have different reasons for writing within texts as well.(5) Then,they may launch into a list of facts that make the reader feel discouraged about the situation.And finally,they may conclude with an appeal.Take a short article and break it apart,identifying the different purposes so that students see how author's purpose changes as they read.A.Get to the heart.B.Identify the topic.C.The readers may get more advanced in their work with informational text.D.For example,an author may include a funny anecdote (轶事)to draw the reader in.E.In particular,they'll need to figure out author's purpose and draw their own conclusions.F.Expand students' awareness of why people write by having them write for different purposes.G.Or keep a running Author's Purpose board with a list of the various reasons that authors write.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

My favorite kind of activity is field trips. I went to Qufu in Senior One and Hangzhou in Senior Two. Both trips deepl y impressed me. The reasons why I like field trips are as follows. First, field trips offer me a good chance to broaden my horizons. As the Chinese saying goes: "It is better to tra vel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books." Not only can I learn from locals an d my own experiences, but also I can see with my own eyes our beautiful country and splen did culture. Second, field trips improve my research skills. Before we take field trips,we are always asked to prepare by searching online or in the library for useful information.Third, field trips help strengthen friendships. Since many of the field trips last several days, it is a good opportunity to bond with classmates better outside the classroom.I really hope that you can go on a field trip with us in the future.YoursLi Hua【解析】略43.【答案】第二节(20分)One possible version:Last week I participated in a school activity about making a poster entitled "40 years of China 's reform and opening-up in my eyes".On Friday evening, I was wondering what topic to choose for my poster. Many ideas pop ped into my head like "transportation", "environment", but I finally decided on "great cha nges in my home". Immediately I turned to my parents for help. Hearing that, they took out some photo albums and began their talk. Mom told me about what our home looked like twenty years ago while dad showed me some photos taken at that time. It was the first time I had seen an old-fashioned electric fan and tape recorder. Seeing my curious expression,my parents suggested a visit the next day to the exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversa ry of China's reform and opening-up.At the exhibition, we were amazed by the brilliant achievements made in the past four deca des. In the daily life area, what attracted me most was the evolution of electric appliances , especially TV sets, from the clumsy small ones to the modern high-tech ones. Dad poi nted at one TV, saying his family had a similar one when he was a kid. Considering these TVs could be used on my poster, I took some photos. With all the material collected, I g ot down to my poster, on which I wrote about the great changes in my home and also includ ed some pictures.My home is just one example. I am sure lots of Chinese families resemble mine, benefitin g from China's reform and opening-up. How proud I feel about the great changes!【解析】略。

A science magazine.This Family Keeps Their Community Warm by Cutting Firewood for Those in NeedWashington is home to lots of trees—it is the Evergreen State, after all—— andit has lots of fireplaces and wood-burning heaters too. But what if you lived there andcouldn’t cut wood or couldn’t afford to pay someone to do it? Luckily, ShaneMcDaniel and his twin sons, Harrison and Henry McDaniel, are happy to help. Thethree men cut truckloads of wood一then give it to those m need.The idea actually started as a father-son relationship project, Shane told .“I cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it, " said Shane. He wanted to pass along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer cutting. The result was a great wall of wood piled up (堆积)around their house. To buy that much it would cost about $10,000.It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves, and when the weather turned cold that November, Shane started thinking of others. He posted online: "IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF FIREWOOD AND CANNOT AFFORD IT, PLEASE PM [personal message] ME! ... If you know someone who BURNS WOOD, please help me and my boys make sure NO ONE GOES COLD IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD,The response (反应)was immediate. One man offered to donate (捐赠)a wood-burning stove. Others raced over to Shane's house with more wood. One woman, noticing the photo of the McDaniels? started to feel warm in other ways: "I don't need the wood. But I am truly happy for what you have done! ”Single mom Katelyn Ticer, 29, and her four-year-old daughter depended on a wood-burning stove as their only way of heat, so it was so good to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels. "To get that much wood brought me to tears/' she told . “ So much stress and worry is off my shoulders. I couldn't be more thankful.wShane is ready to help more people. " Giving is the reward,he said. " It has nothing to do with how well it’s received; it's about how much ifs needed.”24.What did Shane and his sons do to help their neighbors?A.They gave firewood to those in need.B.They bought wood-burning stoves.C.They raised about 10,000 dollars.D.They paid someone to cut wood.25.What happened after Shane posted messages online?A.His family received lots of presents.A,Some people quickly offered to help.B,Lots of wood piled up around their house,D.The weather suddenly turned freezing cold.26.What did Shane think of what he had done to help others?A.Being needed drives us to give.B.Love is not giving but receiving.C.Helping others is just helping ourselves.D.It?s better to help people fish than to give them fish.It Is Never Too Early to Think—and Communicate—like a Scientist Who is a scientist and what is his job? A chemist doing experiments? A geologist out studying rocks? When most people think about science, they imagine characters making discoveries or finding cures (治疗方法)for new diseases. However, these leave out an extremely important part of the scientific process: communicating一sharing the results of that work.Imagine if someone discovered something important about a disease. Other scientists need to understand the work well enough to use these new developments to make even more discoveries in the future. The public, too, needs to understand how these discoveries might influence their lives. But none of this will be possible if the work is not shared. Being a scientist goes far beyond the moment of discovery.Without clear communication, scientists would not be able to use the work that has already been done. So how do scientists tell others about the work that they have done? How do they make sure that everything that they share is as clear and correct as possible?Researchers publish their work in scientific journals (期刊).These journals can be read by other researchers around the world. It is very important for these journals, and for the scientists who read them, to make sure that the research included is as correct as possible. In order to do that, articles given to scientific journals before publication first go through a process called peer review. Other scientists who do research in areas related to the work in an article are asked to read through it. Scientists also provide feedback to the writers. They bring up new questions the writer may not have considered, recognize limitations to the results being described, and also make sure that no mistakes were made during the process.Frontiers for Young Minds is a scientific journal written for—and reviewed by young people. All of the articles in it are based on works already published in a peer reviewed scientific journal. However, while scientists are good at making sure that articles are understandable for other scientists, there are no better experts to make sure that something can be understood by young people than the young people themselves- By working together with an experts young reviewers read the article to see if any part of the article is hard to understands make it clear why the experiment was done in the way it was done) and check whether the figures (数据)clearly explain the point of the article.Basically, these young reviewers learn to think like scientists. It is never too early to start! Ask questions, learn new things, and don't forget the importance of communicating your findings.27.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.What is required to be a good scientist.B.Who should understand a scientist’s job.C.Why sharing the results of scientific work is important.D.How scientists make sure their work is clear and correct.28.From the passage we can know that .A.scientists are good at working together with othersB.young people usually enjoy reading scientific journalsC.in peer review, other scientists bring up questions to readersD.young reviewers help make articles in Frontiers for Young Minds more readable29.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To introduce how scientists do their jobs.B.To offer practical advice on how to ask scientific questions.C.To explain the effects of peer review on scientific journals.D.To encourage young people to think and excommunicate like scientists.Why Wisdom (智慧)Doesn't Work as Well as We Think It Does We relate wisdom to age. Most of us believe that gaining wisdom is like picking up stones on a path: the longer you're on the path, the more stones you'll collect.It seems a reasonable inference, then, the older you are, the more wisdom you have. Older people usually make fewer careless mistakes, and they often know the best course of action in a given situation. But I think there's another explanation at play here, which we might consider in the light of what we know about human decision-making.There are two different ways of decision-making: plans and habits. Here's an example of how these ways differ. If you5re driving somewhere for the first time, you'll need a plan. You will need to know whether to turn left or right, because you don’t already have that information stored away in your head. On the other hand, you don't need a plan when you're going somewhere familiar (熟悉的) because the order of steps that will take you there is stored as a habit. But if you find that the road is blocked by fallen trees, you’ll have to think about another way. Such a plan allows you to more easily deal with new situations, but they require a lot more attention.The use of plans and habits changes over the course of our lives. A baby can't use habits to make decisions, because any situation she5s in will be a new one. As we buildup a store of familiar situations, the more we can depend on habits. The older you are, the more likely your behavior is based on tried- and-true habits rather than fresh planning.But what does this tell us about wisdom? Well, it suggests that wisdom is interactive, not static: it is a relationship between a person and their surroundings (环境),The reason that wisdom seems to come out so effortlessly from well-seasoned minds is that they have a store of habitual information about how to act in a given situation.But it also makes a worrying prediction: if older people were put in a new situation, with which they had no familiarity, they wouldn't make better decisions than someone who is young. It is the same with mistakes. Older, seemingly wiser people make fewer mistakes because they're familiar with surroundings they often deal with. If you controlled for the familiarity of the situation, then people in different age groups would probably make the same number of mistakes. Younger people might even make fewer mistakes, because they are better at coming up with fresh plans.While wisdom gives you expertise within a particular environment, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to generalize that to new experiences. It's not that we necessarily get wiser as we get older, but we put ourselves in fewer situations where we are likely to make mistakes.30.What do we know about the two ways of decision-making according to the passage?ing plans or habits to make decisions is an ever-changing process.B.The use of plans and habits requires lots of attention and effort.C.When going somewhere familiar, we need to work out a plan.D.Younger people depend more on habits to make decisions,31.What can we learn from the passage?A.Younger people have a great advantage in becoming wiser.B.Older people are better at making careful plans before action.C.Older people seem wiser because they5ve stored more habitual information.D.Younger people make more mistakes when they're in unfamiliar surroundings.32.What does the underlined word “static” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. Uncontrolled.B. Unchanged.C. Increasing.D. Surprising.33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A.To stress the importance of gaining wisdom.B.To compare the two different ways of decision-making.C.To call on younger people to learn more from older people.D.To remind us to view the wisdom of older people reasonably.四、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
