Safety lights B For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, 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 stumbles, 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 stared 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.” 24．What made Chris nervous? A．Telling a story. B．Making a speech. 第 6 页 共 13 页 C．Taking a test. D．Answering a question. 25．What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Improper pauses. B．Bad manners. C．Spelling mistakes. D．Silly jokes. 26．We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________. A．help students see their own strengths B．assess students’ public speaking skills C．prepare students for their future jobs D．inspire students’ love for politics 27．Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher? A．Humorous. B．Ambitious. C．Caring. D．Demanding. C Andrew Grey doesn't fit most people's idea of an astronomer. He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a star system hiding in data from NASA's Kepler space telescope. Mr. Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding. For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of democratization (民主化) to science. “This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in，” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and co-founder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects. Citizen scientists can contribute to breakthroughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics. “As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project，” Lintott says. “Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial. Machine learning allows computers to do some pattern recognition. But humans, particularly amateur scientists, don't stay focused on what they're supposed to. And that's good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.” “And citizen science doesn't have to be directed by a scientist，” says Sheila Jasanoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University. “Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists，” she says. That's what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests that caused a broader investigation of lead levels. Citizen-powered research is as old as scientific inquiry. For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them. Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welcome help from everyday people. As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that we're intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.” 28．What made citizen scientists appear? 第 7 页 共 13 页 A．The high level of science projects. B．The development of technology. C．The support of the government. D．The foundation of Zooniverse. 29．What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines? A．Humans can identify patterns more swiftly. B．Humans focus their attention on data. C．Humans can observe uncommon things. D．Humans have stronger emotions. 30．What is Lintott's attitude towards citizen science? A．Favorable. B．Cautious. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful. 31．What would be the best title of the text? A．Citizen Scientists Can Be Intelligent B．Science Is Important to Everyone C．Anyone Can Be a Scientist D．Science Is Everywhere D If your preschoolers turn up their noses at carrots or celery, a small reward like a sticker(贴画) for taking even a taste may help get them to eat previously disliked foods, a UK study said. Though it might seem obvious that a reward could encourage young children to eat their vegetables, the idea is actually controversial, researchers wrote in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. That’s because some studies have shown that rewards can backfire and cause children to lose interest in foods they already liked, said Jane Wardle, a researcher at University College London who worked on the study. Verbal praise, such as “Brilliant! You’re a great vegetable taster”, did not work as well. The study found that when parents gave their small children a sticker each time they took a “tiny taste” of a disliked vegetable, it gradually changed their attitudes. The children were also willing to eat more of t he vegetables—either carrots, celery, cucumber, red pepper, cabbage or sugar snap peas—in laboratory taste tests, the study said. Researchers randomly assigned (分派) 173 families to one of these groups. In one, parents used stickers to reward their children each time they took a tiny sample of a disliked vegetable. A second group of parents used verbal praise. The third group, where Parents used no special 第 8 页 共 13 页 vegetable-promoting methods, served as a “control”. Parents in the reward groups offered their children a taste of the “target” vegetable every day for 12 days. Soon after, children in the sticker group were giving higher ratings to the vegetables—and were willing to eat more in the research lab, going from an average of 5 grams at the start to about 10 grams after the 12-day experience. The turnaround(转机) also seemed to last, with preschoolers in the sticker group still willing to eat more of the once-disliked vegetable three months later. Why didn’t the verbal praise work? Wardle said the parents’ words may have seemed “insincere” to their children. 32. The purpose of writing the passage is _______ . A. to explain why children hate to eat vegetables B. to present a proper way of verbal praise to parents C. to show the procedure of an experiment on children’s diet D. to introduce a practical method of making children eat vegetables 32. The underlined word “backfire” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”. A. produce an unexpected result B. shoot from behind the back C. make a fire in the backyard D. achieve what was planned 34. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Most children are born to dislike carrots or celery. C. Oral praise works quite well in encouraging children to eat vegetables. B. Children in the sticker group will never lose interest in eating vegetables. D. It remains a question whether rewarding is a good way to get children to eat vegetables. 35. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Children are difficult to inspire. B. Parents should give up verbal praise. C. Parents should praise their children in a sincere tone. D. Children like rewards, not verbal praise. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 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. 第 9 页 共 13 页 This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy. 36 They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. 37 Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities( 机 会 ) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams. 38 And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep. 39 Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away. 40 . Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds. A. Having interesting things to think about also helps. B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relativity, Coke or Post-it notes. D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive. F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 Dad had a green comb, which he bought when he married Mum.

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, 56 was started by the medical community with a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 57 such as overweight and heart disease — the very thing the medical community was trying to fight. Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 58 (process) the food that we eat, to recover 59 injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 60 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As a result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 61 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat 62 (go) up. Fast food is full of fat and salt; by eating more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. 63 (have) enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack( 吃 点 心 ) between meals and will improve 64 taste of your food. However, be careful not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, which is not good for the 65 (healthy). 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 假定你是李华，准备利用寒假去英国学习英语口语。网络上的这则广告引起了你的兴 趣。 Join ENGLISH SPEAKING COURSE A Course Especially DESIGNED for FUTURE PROFESSIONALS EXPERIENCED FACULTY Special Courses for School Kids, Housewives & Professionals ●Grammar ●Pronunciation ●Presentation Skills ●Group Discussions ●Vocabulary ●Personality Development ●Art Public Speaking ●Interview Skills WEEKEND BATCHES ALSO AVAILABLE CSG INSTITUTE www：csginstitute.com Ph: 9990794333 9868174220 现在请你给该机构写信询问相关情况。要点如下： 第 12 页 共 13 页 1．你感兴趣的课程； 2．所选课程的师资配备，班级规模； 3．开班时间、学费、食宿。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为 80 左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 第二节（满分 25 分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was somewhere between spring and summer, and my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then, I was 13 years old, and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one. A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing?” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn't the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It'll just be a minute,” she called back through the open windows. My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared, empty-handed. Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there?” She shook her head.“Then what did you do with the flowers?” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist.” “What?” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn't gotten any in a while.” I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name?” To this she answered instantly,“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good,which is enough of a thank you for me.” Suddenly, still thinking about Mom's deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way. Paragraph 1: We were worrying about what could be done. 第 13 页 共 13 页 ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As we drove along,a flower shop came into sight on the road. ___________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
