In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ — he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan. ♦The most viewed video game-unboxing video Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase — especially if it's something they can't get themselves. Maybe that's why more than 25 million people have watched YouTube HD. What's really cool about Evan is that he actually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular YouTube channel to draw people's attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor. ♦The youngest drummer The rules of Guinness World Records say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications. ♦The fastest assembly (组装) of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease. The group put together 10,000 Lego pieces in just three hours, breaking the old one by five hours. They also set the record for the longest Lego chain, which ended up at 947 meters, beating the old record by 40. 21. Who is devoted to charity? A. Oratilwe A J Hongwane. B. Evan. C. DJ Arch Jnr. D. Julian Pavone. 22. What do we know about the youngest drummer ? A. He has recorded 20 real songs. B. He gave at least 20 concerts at five. C. He must earn a lot of money by recording. D. He was qualified for the Guiness World Reords at four. 23. Why did the school kids set the world record? A. To help a sick schoolmate. B. To inspire team spirit. C. To prevent a rare disease. D. To make their school famous. B On a Saturday afternoon, Tasi Lama had just finished lunch and was going to wash his hands when the ground under his feet started shaking violently. Objects began to fall down from overhead and rising above the crashes, he could hear terrified screams all around him. Several months later, the painter from Nepal's Kathmandu Valley remembers that day more vividly than his wedding day or the birth of his son. It was on April 25, 2015 that an earthquake hit Nepal, the former Himalayan kingdom out of sight between its giant neighbors China and India, 81 years after a similar disaster. This killer quake and aftershocks that continued for more than a month afterward killed over 8,000 people, destroyed thousands of houses, and ruined an economy already damaged by many other reasons. It was also of consequence for the ancient art style Nepali painters such as Lama have been practicing for generations. “We left our homes and lived in the open fields outside the city, under tarpaulins（防水油布）for a month," Lama said. Many of the houses, built of mud and bricks, were in ruins and the aftershocks continued, though less frequently. One day, I went to my showroom to get some of the paintings out and the Earth started shaking again. I dropped everything and ran out for my life. ” Dinesh Lama, a 32-year-old artist from Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, said his Boudha Stupa Thangka Center, which functions as his showroom as well as his studio, has remained shut since the earthquake, as his artisans(工匠）are too traumatized （心理受到创伤的）to take up the brush again. “We lived in temporary tents for more than a month," he said. “When they try to sit inside the studio and paint, fear makes their hands shake. Luckily, we have got a lot of aid from China. I believe we will come back to our home soon. ” 24. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A.The April 25 earthquake made Nepal disappear for long. B.This quake caused more deaths than the one 81 years ago. C.Nepal also suffered a serious disaster due to the 1934 quake. D.The earthquake is the only reason for Nepal being backward. 25.What can we know according to Tasi Lama's words? A.Many Nepali painters lost their lives in the quake. B.Only the houses built of mud and bricks broke down. C.His showroom fell into ruins after the quake. D.He had no choice but to stop working for long. 26.What made Dinesh Lama worried most? A. That his showroom had been totally destroyed. B. That his artisans were incapable of working. C. That he couldn't sell his works as usual. D. That he would never pick up his brush to draw. 27.Which of the following is the proper title for the text? A. Earthquake Brings Damage to Ancient Art B. Earthquake Causes Many Artists Out of Job C. China Gives a Timely Hand to Nepal D. Nepal Suffers from Two Nonstop Quakes C Australian experts have expressed concerns that too many millennials(千禧一代）are hoping to use their social media accounts to build their careers. Their concerns follow the sudden rise in "insta-celebrities" who make money by posting sponsored photos online. For the lucky few who are not only talented photographers but also good-looking and business-savvy( 有 商 业 头 脑 的 ) ， making money off social media isn't impossible. Instagram is flooded with social media professionals paid to promote products and services. However, social scientist Dr Lauren Rosewarne, from the University of Melbourne, says that in reality, there are far fewer people making money off the platforms than one may think. She said many young Australians were getting sucked in by the appeal of making money on platforms like Instagram, describing it as "totally unrealistic" and extremely difficult to do. "Young people are hoping to be famous in numbers that were simply not there 20 years ago," Rosewarne told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation(ABC) on Saturday. "There are some people who can make fortunes out of monetizing(使具有货币性质)their Instagram posts, but that is not the norm." She said it was up to parents and schools to discourage students from seeking Insta-fame, as many believe it is a possible career choice. "There's the warning for parents; this is not a normal or even common occurrence that you can monetize your Instagram account." Meanwhile Toni Eager from Australian National University said social problems could arise from spending too much time with social media. "Where do the insta-celebrities go ... to separate the life people see on Instagram from their actual normal life?" Eager said. "All of a sudden, people own your private life." 28.Why is there a sudden rise in "insta-celebrities"? A. Many young people want to be photographers. B. Many people see it as a shortcut to making money. C. People want to socialize by sharing photos online. D. Instagram offers young people more career choices. 29. The underlined phrase "getting sucked in" in Paragraph 4 probably means"______". A. benefiting from somethingB. becoming involved in something C. taking advantage of something D. being satisfied with something 30. What message does the author convey by quoting Dr Lauren Rosewarne? A. Young people today are more business-savvy than ever. B. Young people are becoming less interested in Internet fame. C. Instagram is not a good platform to promote new products. D. It's a bad idea for young people to try earning money on Instagram. 31. What problem does Toni Eager think overuse of social media could cause? A. An over-reliance on Instagram. B. A loss of personal privacy. C. Less interaction with people in real life. D. The desire to monetize one's Instagram account. D If you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when they're young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of economics. It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a person's career, while another comes later. The research supports previous work by the authors that found similar patterns in the arts and other sciences. "We believe what we found in this study isn't limited to economics, but could apply to creativity more generally," said Bruce Weinberg, lead author of the study and professor of economics at The Ohio State University. "Many people believe that creativity is exclusively associated with youth,but it really depends on what kind of creativity you're talking about." In the study, those who did their most groundbreaking work early in their careers tended to be "conceptual" innovators(创新者). These type of innovators "think outside the box", challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new ideas. Conceptual innovators are not yet immersed(沉浸于)in the accepted theories of their field, Weinberg said. But there is another kind of creativity, he said, which is found among "experimental" innovators. These innovators accumulate knowledge through their careers and find new ways to understand it. The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later in a Nobel laureate's(荣誉获得者的)career. "Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach," Weinberg said. The researchers took a novel, empirical(经验主义的)approach to the study, which involved 31 laureates. They arranged the laureates on a list from the most experimental to most conceptual. This ranking was based on the laureates' most important work, classifying them into "conceptual" or "experimental". After classifying the laureates, the researchers determined the age at which each laureate made his most important contribution to economics and could be considered at his creative peak. They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their mid-50s. "Our research suggests that when you're most creative is more about how you approach your work." 32. What did the study published in De Economist find? A. Creativity comes at any age, young or old. B. Creativity tends to decrease as people get older. C. Economists, artists and other scientists have much in common. D. Economists are more creative than artists and other scientists. 33. What does the underlined phrase "think outside the box" mean? A. Follow rules strictly. B. Experiment on boxes. C. Break old thought patterns. D. Figure out how to escape from a box. 34. What do we know about "experimental" innovators?A. They usually come up with new ideas all of a sudden. B. They make discoveries through constant trial and error. C. The majority of them reach their creative peak in their twenties. D. They make more contributions than "conceptual" innovators. 35. What do the researchers believe determines someone's creative peak? A. One's personality type. B. What kind of job one takes. C. How one handles their work. D. One's attitude toward their work. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Students deal with many problems in their lives and because of all of the competing things for their attention, it's hard to concentrate on studying. 36 The key to effective studying isn't cramming(死记硬背) or studying longer, but studying smarter. 37 Too many people look at studying as a necessary task, not an enjoyment or opportunity to learn. That's fine, but researchers have found that how you approach something matters almost as much as what you do. Sometimes you can't “force” yourself to be in the right state of mind. Aim to think positively when you study, and remind yourself of your skills and abilities. 38 Instead of thinking, “I'm a mess. I'll never have enough time to study for this exam", look at it like, “I may be a little late to study as much as I'd like, but I'll get most of it done.” Memory games are methods for remembering pieces of information using a simple connection of common words. Most often people get words to form a nonsense sentence that is easy to remember. Memory games are helpful because you use more of your brain to remember visual and active images than you do to remember just a list of items. 39 A lot of people make the mistake of studying in a place that really isn't helpful to concentrating. 40 The library, a corner in a study hall, or a quiet coffee house are good places to check out. Make sure to choose the quiet areas in these places, not the loud, central gathering areas. Finding an ideal study place is important, because it's the one you can reliably count on for the next few years. A. Avoid terrible thinking. B. Avoid comparing yourself with others.C.A noisy place makes for a poor study area. D. Using more of your brain means better memory. E. Having a right attitude is important to study smarter. F. You need more effective study habits for better grades. G. Every person is unique in their way of effective learning. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分 45 分) 第一节 (共 20 小题；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。 Madagascar was not the paradise I expected.

Only with combined efforts can we make our life better.

It was a Saturday morning in 1937. I was five years old. My father took me to the cinema that very afternoon. The size of it amazed me, and I loved the atmosphere immediately. In those days there was a girl who showed you to your seats in the dark if you arrived after the film had started — and she was there with her boxes of sweets and ice cream in the breaks. My mother had given me some money before we left home, so I queued up and bought myself some chocolate. But the film itself was the most important thing. When the curtains opened and the lights went down, I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were sudden changes of scenes that took my breath away, and action that was shown from many different angles. Obviously audiences are used to all that now — these days film scenes only last a few seconds and are filled with special effects. In those days one scene could last for several minutes. And of course the sets were very basic, if you compare them to today’s. But the performances the actors gave were wonderful.
