I had never even considered being a stay-at-home dad. I worked as a broadcaster for 20 years, and to an extent, I felt defined by my job. I was also never close to my own father. After my parents divorced, my dad and I stopped speaking when I was 15, and we would never speak to each other again. I found out he died almost by chance.
Yet here I was, with no real road map on how to be a father. My wife and I read all the books and talked to friends with kids. Then our son Finn arrived and from the moment we saw him, we both finally knew what love was. With parental leave finishing, we went back to work. We tried daycare. Our son was always sick and we felt sick inside from being apart from him. We decided that one of us would have to stay at home with him. So I quit working. I am grateful every day that I did.
Staying at home with my son changed me. It takes patience to be with a child all day, and I found I had more of it than I thought. His excitement at each new discovery was infectious. Inspired by his openness and creativity, I found myself having adventures and building Lego spaceships together with him.
My son has made me a better person, and I came to realize that being a parent was also going to make me better at my job. Even though I once never thought I’d be a stay-at-home dad, now I know I was born to do it. Being a father is the great honor of my life. Finn and I are deeply close, and I feel sad for fathers like my own, who never get to know this kind of intimacy. I had to leave work to build this relationship, and it was worth it. The experience of staying home has increased my value as an employee and a person.
24. Why did the author know little about being a father
A. He didn’t have a model to follow.
B. His friends didn’t talk about it with him.
C. His wife seldom needed him for parenting.
D. He disliked reading books about parenting.
25. Why did the author give up his job
A. He made enough money. B. He wanted to rest for some time.
C. He was not satisfied with his job. D. He wanted to take care of his son.
26. What does the underlined word “intimacy” mean in paragraph 4
A. disappointment. B. closeness. C. excitement. D. surprise.
27. What does the author express in the last paragraph
A. He intends to forgive his father.
B. He actually wants to return to work.
C. He becomes good at balancing his work and life.
D. He benefits a lot from the valuable experience.

Hunger is a very real problem around the globe. This year, almost 7 million people have died of hunger already. Why do people still die of hunger when there’s more than enough food in the world
Well, considering that there are places in the world where basic needs like housing and clean, drinkable water are not met, then it doesn’t come as a surprise that food is just not available to them. The food exists—it just doesn’t get to where it needs to be.
Nigerian farmer Samson Ogbole decided to go ahead and cultivate (培育) fruit and vegetables in a different way. Ogbole’s farming process is mainly about two concepts: soilless farming and aeroponics (气雾栽培). To put it simply—he’s growing food in the air.
As Ogbole explained during a TED talk, aeroponics is the future of agriculture because it offers many benefits. For example, it is cheaper than traditional farming because there is no need to hire as many workers since everything is done with a “click”. Also, this kind of farming is more environmentally friendly since farmers don’t use pesticides. At the same time, there are no space limitations-planting in the air means you can plant as many layers as you like. The sky is the limit literally!
So, the young farmer has been practicing aeroponics for more than five years with impressive results. His work was recently praised on social media this summer when he was featured in a network post. In the post, Ogbole’s farming method was mentioned, and Internet users had the chance to see pictures of the farmer’ s produce.
Many viewers think southern Nigeria needs this method to grow crops. This will help in bringing down the price and avoiding future food blockades (封锁)from the north. It seems that people are already realizing that this method will change the way people grow food. And, most importantly, it will help solve some of the issues related to hunger around the world.
28. What does the figure in paragraph 1 show
A. The seriousness of hunger. B. The number of hungry people.
C. The necessity of growing food in the air. D. The existing population problem.
29. Why do people still starve to death in the world according to the text
A. There is not enough food supply. B. Their basic needs are not met.
C. They have no scientific planting methods. D. Food is not equally shared.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The theory of aeroponics. B. The advantages of aeroponics.
C. How to grow food in the air. D. The downsides of traditional farming.
31. What’s viewers’ attitude towards Ogbole’s farming method
A. doubt. B. disapproving. C. positive. D. indifferent.
D
Any foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how hard it is to master the tones required to speak and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.
Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills depend on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调).
One of the study’s authors, Nina Kraus, said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes(调整) our sensory system”. This means that schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs, Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.
Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages, pitch plays a central role. A single syllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is pronounced.
For this study, the researchers looked at 20 non Chinese speaking volunteers, half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six years.
As they were shown a movie, the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings: squint (眯), bewilder (迷) and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.
The lead author of the study, Patrick C.M.Wong, said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.
32. When learning Chinese, a foreigner will find .
A. he has a difficult time learning music at the same time
B. he has an easier time learning music at the same time
C. it is hard to master the tones required to speak and understand
D. it is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch
33. Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training
A. Because there is the same difficulty in learning Chinese and music.
B. Because skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.
C. Because music training might help people with language study.
D. Because people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.
34. How did the researchers do the research for the study
A. They chose 20 non-Chinese speaking volunteers with no musical background.
B. 20 volunteers were shown a movie about the Mandarin word “mi”.
C. They only heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi”.
D. They studied how well 20 volunteers were processing the Chinese sounds they heard.
35. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Mandarin Speakers Are Smarter than English Speakers
B. Skilled Ear for Music May Help Language Study
C. Pitch Plays a Central Role in Chinese Learning
D. Schools Need to Develop Music Programs

Do you usually feel you’re working hard but still can’t reach your study goals Here are some quick tips to help you study better.
◆ Study with a partner or in groups
Rather than living in a cave with your nose in the books all day, grab a friend from your class and study with him. ___36___ Actively engaging the information with someone else not only helps you to learn, but makes studying more enjoyable.
◆ Step into your teacher’s shoes
Ask yourself “If I were the teacher, what would I put on the test ” ___37___ Learn from them for the next test. Remember, teachers don’t expect you to memorize every single detail, just the ones they feel are important. It’s your job to figure out what that is.

Try this exercise: memorize these numbers in order 6...2...9...1...3...8...4...0...5.
Now try to memorize these numbers 629....138....405
The bottom is easier right It is the same order of numbers, but put into the context of bigger numbers. Creating context gives information meaning and also turns learning into an experience rather than simple absorption.
◆ ___39___
A hungry brain is an ineffective one. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep it going. Because of this, what you eat and drink also plays a huge role in how sharp your brain is. Healthy foods provide nutrients to your brain cells to keep them energized.
◆ Take breaks to relax your brain
Your brain is like a muscle. ___40___ But it can also tire if you overwork it. If you divide studying into 15 to 30 minutes blocks with quick breaks in between, your brain will feel refreshed, grateful and ready for the next challenge you throw at it.
A. Feed your brain.
B. It needs exercise to make it stronger.
C. Relax your brain by eating and drinking.

67. 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。
I was excited as I walked into the classroom. Today was my birthday! I set down the box of treats I had brought for the class. Birthdays were a big deal in our classroom. The birthday person brought treats for the class, and he or she got to choose someone our teacher called “the birthday helper” to pass them out. My friends, Andrea, Crystal and I had talked about choosing each other on our birthdays. I still hadn’t decided which of my two best friends I was going to choose. I knew both of them were expecting me to pick them, but I just couldn't decide. I didn’t want either one of them to be mad at me.
A loud shout stopped my thoughts. “Hi, April!” shouted Lisa.
No one liked Lisa. She had dirty hair that looked like it always needed to be washed. The kids made fun of her a lot. She annoyed me sometimes, too, but I tried to be nice to her.
“Did you bring treats today ”
“Yes,” I answered, “Today is my birthday!”
Lisa’s parents were divorced(离婚的)，and her dad gave her and her mom lots of problems. Lisa once told me that I was the only friend she had. At times I felt embarrassed to hang out with her, but she never seemed to notice when I didn't want her around.
The bell rang, and we quickly went to our seats. Our teacher, Mrs. Doughty, started class, and I pushed aside my thoughts. The rest of the morning flew by, and soon it was time for the lunch break.
Mrs. Doughty announced that today was my birthday. I forced a smile, but my stomach turned over. I retrieved(取回) my cupcakes at the back of the room and slowly went to stand beside Mrs. Doughty. I didn’t know what to do! Should I choose Andrea or Crystal
Then Lisa caught my attention.
“No one ever chooses me on their birthday!” she said loudly. Her face looked so sad. I saw the hurt she felt from the rejection(嫌弃) she constantly faced from our classmates.
注意：1.续写词数应150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, I knew my decision.

No one is sure why everyone in Hilden is so tall, but we’re going to find out. Stay with us, won’t you This is going to be interesting.
