For Canaan Elementary's second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speechday , and right now it's Chris Palaez's turn. The 8﹣year﹣old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But he's nervous."I'm here to tell you today why you should …should…"Chris trips on the"﹣ld, "a pronunciation difficulty for many non﹣native English speakers. His teacher , Thomas Whaley , is next to him, whispering support."…Vote for …me …"Except for some ________, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion , Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. "It takes a lot for any student, " Whaley explains, "especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, 'I don't know, but I want to know.'"Whaley got the idea of this second﹣grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves."Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities, " Whaley says, "is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident."(1)What made Chris nervous?________A. Telling a story.B. Making a speech.C. Taking a test.D. Answering a question..(2)What does the underlined word "stumbles" in paragraph 2 refer to?________A. Improper pauses.B. Bad manners.C. Spelling mistakes.D. Silly jokes..(3)We can infer that the purpose of Whaley's project is to________.A. help students see their own strengthsB. assess students' public speaking skillsC. prepare students for their future jobsD. inspire students' love for politics.(4)Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?________A. Humorous.B. Ambitious.C. Caring.D. Demanding.3.As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though.Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiarwith. Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word "touch" four times using the smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed, with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.(1)Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?A.To reduce pressure on keys.B.To improve accuracy in typing.C.To replace the password system.D.To cut the cost of e-space protection.(2)What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?puters are much easier to operate.B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.D.Data security measures are guaranteed.(3)What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?A.It'll be environment-friendly.B.It'll reach consumers soon.C.It'll be made of plastics.D.It'll help speed up typing.(4)Where is this text most likely from?A.A diary.B.A guidebook.C.A novel.D.A magazine.4. During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), 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.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(从事)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(调查研究). "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.(1)What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?________A. Unkind.B. Lonely.C. Generous.D. Cool..(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..(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..(4)What is the best title for the text?________A. Be Nice﹣You Won't Finish LastB. The Higher the Status, the BetterC. Be the Best﹣You Can Make ItD. More Self﹣Control, Less Aggressiveness.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.5.Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to "go out and get some fresh air." (1)_______ According to recent studies,the answer is a big YES,if the air quality in your camping area is good.(2)_______ If the air you're breathing is clean﹣which it would be if you're away from the smog of cities﹣then the air is filled with life﹣giving,energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors,your body will learn to breathe more deeply,allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉)and your brain.Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈).(3)_______ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green,growing things can reduce stress,lower blood pressure,and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients Who see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.(4)_______ It gives us a great feeling of peace.(5)_______While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get enough Vitamin D﹣but still protect your skin﹣ put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.B. So what are you waiting for?C. Being in nature refreshes us.D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.6.

ACommunity(社区) service is important for many reasons.Taking part and volunteering teaches sympathy and understanding.One of my favorite things about it is that there are opportunities and choices right in your very neighborhood.When I was younger,I volunteered for a nearby animal shelter.At first I didn’t know many people there and wasn’t very ter,as I got to know the animals and staff members I learned to enjoy my time there.It was a very rewarding experience and I got to do many things I wouldn’t have had an opportunity to do otherwise.Sometimes when I was there I would see other kids taking part.Most of them were volunteering because they needed service hours for school.These kids sometimes just sat around waiting for their time to pass.But there were also others,who had apparently enjoyed their experiences,and wanted to do more afterwards.Not only is community service fun and rewarding,it also looks great on a resume(简历) or college application.Sometimes community service is even required for high school st year in my life skills class we were asked to write a paper about whether we thought requiring students at a university to complete 75 hours of community service was a good idea.I wrote,“I don’t think that is too much as long as the students are given enough time and a variety of choices.”As I move through life I will be always involved in community service,not just because it is important but also because it is something I enjoy and look forward to.So maybe it is the right time you should go out,volunteer your time and make a difference,even if your reward is only a nod or smile.1.The writer began to enjoy volunteering at the animal shelter when he .A.realized the importance of community serviceB.witnessed some students wasting their timeC.got inspired by the enthusiastic volunteersD.adjusted himself to the new environment答案 D解析推理判断题。

is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co﹣author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters ﹣Eri,a model who either won't or can′t stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn′t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around.After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world′s population,a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left.Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.(1)Who does "I" refer to in the text?A.Stephen King.B.Gillian Flynn.C.Jo Usmar.D.Roald Dahl.(2)Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A.Cosmopolitan.B.Matilda.C.After Dark.D.The Stand.(3)What kind of book is Gone Girl?A.A folk tale.B.A biography.C.A love story.D.A horror story.12.(8分)"Y ou can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it."This was an actual reply froma parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids'lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that hiskids aren't even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,"Alright.Yes,I'll do it."I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end﹣of﹣season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still,most of us volunteers breathe

This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.(1).Like the child on the diving board,you will stay undecided.(2).More than that,how should you staymotivated to achieve the goal?First,you need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires,etc.Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.(3).So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity (清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.(4).They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough.(5).You should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most unplanned.Y ou cannot overcome them withoutample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However,this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16.(30分)It's about 250 miles from the hills of west﹣central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota.During the long trip home,followinga weekend of hunting,Ehlers(1)about the small dog hehad seen (2)alongside the road.He had (3)to coax(哄)the dog to him but,frightened,it had (4).Back home,Ehlers was troubled by that (5)dog.So,four days later,he called his friend Greg,and the two drove (6).After a long and careful (7),Greg saw,across a field,the dog moving (8)away.Ehlerseventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him.Nervousness and fear were replaced with (9).It just started licking (舔)Ehlers' face.A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one (10)as lost in the local paper.The ad had a (11)number for a town in southern Michigan.Ehlers (12)the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had (13)their dog.Jeff had (14)in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog,Rosie,but the gun shots had scared the dog off.Jeff searched (15)for Rosie in the next four days.Ehlers returned to Minnesota,and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan."It's good to know there's still someone out there who (16)enough to go to that kind of (17)," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue (18)."I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as (19)to it as I am to my dogs,"says Ehlers."If it had been my dog,I'd hope that somebody would be (20)to go that extra mile."(1)A.read B.forgot C.thought D.heard(2)A.fighting B.trembling C.eating D.sleeping (3)A.tried B.agreed C.promised D.regretted(4)A.calmedB.stood up C.rolled over D.run offdow(5)A.injured B.stolen C.lost D.rescued (6)A.home B.past C.back D.onB.explanation C.test D.search (7)A.preparation(8)A.cautiously B.casually C.skillfully D.angrily (9)A.surprise B.joy C.hesitation D.anxiety (10)A.predicted B.advertised C.believed D.recorded (11)A.house B.phone C.street D.car(12)A.called B.copied C.counted D.remembered (13)A.fed B.adopted C.found D.cured (14)A.hunted B.skied C.lived D.workedB.on time C.in turn D.in vain (15)A.onpurpose(16)A.cares B.sees C.suffers D.learns (17)A.place B.trouble C.waste D.extreme (18)A.service B.plan C.effort D.team (19)A.equal B.allergic C.grateful D.close (20)A.suitable B.proud C.wise D.willing第二节(每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AMy Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series(系列)of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.MatildaRoaldDahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda's battles with her cruel me parents and the bossy headmisres,Miss Trunchbull,are equally fumy and frightening,but they're also aspirational.After DarkHarukiMurakamiIt’s about two sisters-Eri,a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping ,and Mari, a young student . In trying to connect to her sister. Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse ”night people” who are hiding secrets.Gone GirlGillianFynnThere was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story isbrilliant. There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyableThe StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world's population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those let. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.21.Who does "I" refer to in the text?A.Stephen King.B. Gillian Flynn.C Jo Usmar. D. Roald Dahl22.Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri?A.Cosmopolitan.B. Matilda.C. After Dark.D. The Stand.23.What kind of book is G one Girl?)A. A folk tale.B. A biography.C. A love story.D. A horror story.B“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading . So I try again and tug at the heartstrings . I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled witha deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit.

Basically,it's ‘I've got to produce this product and then,at the end of the year,present it to NASA.' Engineers come and really do an in﹣person review,and…it's not a very nice thing at times.It's a hard business review of your product."Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact (影响)on college admissions and practical life skills."These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back.I don't teach."And that annoying bacteria?Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem,readying a workable solution to test in space.(1)What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station?A.They are hard to get rid of.B.They lead to air pollution.C.They appear in different forms.D.They damage the instruments.(2)What is the purpose of the HUNCH program?A.To strengthen teacher﹣student relationships.B.To sharpen students' communication skills.C.To allow students to experience zero gravity.D.To link space technology with school education.(3)What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program?A.Check their product.B.Guide project designs.C.Adjust work schedules.D.Grade their homework.(4)What is the best title for the text?A.NASA:The Home of AstronautsB.Space:The Final Homework FrontierC.Nature:An Outdoor ClassroomD.HUNCH:A College Admission Reform第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:"Should I jump?" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.(1).Like the child on the diving board,you will stay undecided.(2).More than that,how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal?First,you need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires,etc.Only then should you set your goals.You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.(3).So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity (清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.(4).They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough.(5).You should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.A.This can affect your work.B.So how should you motivate yourself?C.However,this should not discourage you.D.So why should we try to set specific goals?E.They can change according to circumstances.F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.G.Without motivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.第三部分语言知识运用(共两节)第一节(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16.(30分)It's about 250 miles from the hills of west﹣central Iowa to Ehlers' home in Minnesota.During the long trip home,following a weekend of hunting,Ehlers(1)about the small dog he had seen (2)alongside the road.He had (3)to coax (哄)the dog to him but,frightened,it had (4).Back home,Ehlers was troubled by that (5)dog.So,four days later,he called his friend Greg,and the two drove (6).After a long and careful (7),Greg saw,across a field,the dog moving (8)away.Ehlers eventually succeeded in coaxing the animal to him.Nervousness and fear were replaced with (9).It just started licking (舔)Ehlers' face.A local farmer told them the dog sounded like one (10)as lost in the localpaper.The ad had a (11)number for a town in southern Michigan.Ehlers (12)the number of Jeff and Lisa to tell them he had (13)their dog.Jeff had (14)in Iowa before Thanksgiving with his dog,Rosie,but the gun shots had scared the dog off.Jeff searched (15)for Rosie in the next four days.Ehlers returned to Minnesota,and then drove 100 miles to Minneapolis to put Rosie on a flight to Michigan."It's good to know there's still someone out there who (16)enough to go to that kind of (17)," says Lisa of Ehlers' rescue (18)."I figured whoever lost the dog was probably just as (19)to it as I am to my dogs,"says Ehlers."If it had been my dog,I'd hope that somebody would be (20)to go that extra mile."(1)A.read B.forgot C.thought D.heard(2)A.fighting B.trembling C.eating D.sleeping(3)A.tried B.agreed C.promised D.regretted(4)A.calmed dow B.stood up C.rolled over D.run off(5)A.injured B.stolen C.lost D.rescued(6)A.home B.past C.back D.on(7)A.preparation B.explanation C.test D.search(8)A.cautiously B.casually C.skillfully D.angrily(9)A.surprise B.joy C.hesitation D.anxiety(10)A.predicted B.advertised C.believed D.recorded(11)A.house B.phone C.street D.car(12)A.called B.copied C.counted D.remembered(13)A.fed B.adopted C.found D.cured(14)A.hunted B.skied C.lived D.worked(15)A.on purpose B.on time C.in turn D.in vain(16)A.cares B.sees C.suffers D.learns(17)A.place B.trouble C.waste D.extreme(18)A.service B.plan C.effort D.team(19)A.equal B.allergic C.grateful D.close(20)A.suitable B.proud C.wise D.willing第二节(每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
