阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Poems play with sound, words, and grammar. They use colors, feelings, and experiences to paint a picture in your mind. Spring is a fine season. It lights up people’s feelings and brings hope. Read the following poems.
A Spring Morning (By Meng Haoran, China) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till the birds are crying. After one night of wind and ___________. How many are the fallen flowers ——Translated by Xu Yuanchong Spring (By Thomas Nashe, UK) Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king. Then blooms (开花) each thing, and girls dance in a ring. Cold a bit not sting (刺痛), the pretty birds do sing, Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo! (An excerpt)
The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds, and even sounds.
Thomas Nashe’s poem celebrates the coming of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.”
26. Which word may be the most suitable for the blank “____________”
A. rains B. showers C. storms D. snows
27. Which of the following do the two poems include in common
①flowers ②sky ③wind ④birds
①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④
28. In Thomas Nashe’s eyes, what is spring like
A. Boring B. Silent C. Comfortable D. Hopeful
B
When you think of a terrible hunter, lions and sharks may first come to your mind.
However, some scientists now find that humans are the most terrible hunters. Human activities even bring animals close to extinction. In the last 500 years, more than 300 types of animals have disappeared (消失). How do human activities make the wild animals in danger
On the one hand, hunting and fishing make the number of wild animals become smaller and smaller. Some people hunt animals just for food. It’s a real shame that people in some parts of the world often eat dolphin meat. What’s more, some hunt animals for fashion. Animal skin is used to make coats and bags. Still others hunt animals just for fun. They kill deer and enjoy the excitement of deer hunting.
On the other hand, building more farms or factories causes less and less space for wildlife. Many animals have no comfortable places to live, or enough food to eat. Humans also put animals in danger without going into their living areas. Because of serious pollution from ship traffic and other human activities, the number of wild animals drops greatly.
Luckily, now humans have known the importance of protecting wild animals and already taken action. Our government has made a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令) on the Yangtze River. Fishermen once fished there for a living. They had to say goodbye to their old job because of the ban. Instead, some fishermen joined a team to clean up rubbish in the Yangtze River and report where to see finless porpoises (江豚). It’s glad to see so many people act to protect animals’ living areas. Keeping on protecting wildlife can make the earth a healthy and beautiful home.
29. The underlined word “extinction” in Paragraph 1 means “____________”.
A. dying out B. going wrong C. giving up D. coming down
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The lions and sharks are the most terrible hunters.
B. Humans hunt animals for food to make a living.
C. Animals live in their living areas without danger.
D. Humans should care about wild animals and protect them.
31. What’s the structure of this passage (①-Paragraph 1)
A. B. C. D.
C
One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell screaming in fear.
But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.
He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟的) nest. In the nest were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learnt another important lesson.
Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.
He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.
Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were.
Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.
32. Why did the gray cub want to go outside
A. He wanted to hunt food by himself. B. He wanted to look for his mum.
C. He wanted to know the world outside. D. His mum asked him to do it.
33. Which is the right order of what happened to the gray cub
a. He fell down and felt quite afraid.
b. He met a squirrel and a woodpecker.
c. He was bitten in the throat and was dying.
d. He saw something pick up the ptarmigan.
e. He had a fight with the mother ptarmigan.
A. a-b-e-d-c B. b-a-e-d-c C. a-b-d-e-c D. b-c-a-d-e
34. Which chart can best describe the gray cub’s feeling in the story
B.
C. D.
35. What’s the best title for the story
A. The Ptarmigan’s Nest B. The Gray Cub’s Unusual Experience
C. The Gray Cub in Danger D. Mothers’ Fights for Children
D
Gever Tulley is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer programme for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made fantastic things since the school started. They have built a roller coaster. They have made a rope bridge from plastic shopping bags. They have made tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats.
At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and power drills. Some children have cut themselves when using a knife, or hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times.
Gever Tulley’s ideas have worked very well. A lot of children have gone to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided to create a “real” school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small ---- it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles (理念) as Tinkering School.
Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive. They have praised (表扬) the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing around” all the time.
The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher,” she told us. “But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.”
36. Which is the best description of Tinkering School
A. A school where children are taught different subjects by different teachers.
B. A school where children learn important life skills by building things together.
C. A factory where children get interested in building things by working together.
D. A factory where children learn about how to use the tools safely by following rules.
37. Which is TRUE about safety at Tinkering School
A. No safety information has been mentioned there.
B. The school isn’t safe for kids at all.
C. Children have never had an accident or injury.
D. Children have never hurt themselves badly.
38. Read the underlined sentences and infer (推断) what might Gever Tulley say to these people
A. Children also need to follow strict school rules like wearing uniforms.
B. All children will learn to build roller coasters, rope bridges and boats here.
C. Children can plan to make things and learn much by doing things in teams
D. Most articles say that children are more serious here than at many other schools.
39. What does Tina Cooper think of the life at Brightworks
A. It changes her ideas about school life.
B. It makes her feel bored from time to time.
C. It makes her love San Francisco even more.
D. It seems as normal as her school life before.
40. From the passage, children there are likely to learn the following things EXCEPT ____________.
A. We should be careful when using tools.
B. It is important in life to eat healthy food.
C. We can create plans for new things we want to build.
D. Teamwork is important in our work.

How is your memory If we can’t remember how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember ---- from where we left our car keys to how we walk. Maybe it’s not surprising that sometimes we forget things.
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds, for example, when you hear a song but can’t remember the words afterwards. The other level is long-term memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years.
There are many uses for memory. Motor-skill memory helps you remember how to ride a bike or other activities, which can be short or long term. Emotional memory makes you think of how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. They are long term.
Memories can tell you the story of yourself. Information, such as which school you go to and who your friends are, is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. It’s much easier to remember all those facts, formulas or whatever it is you’re learning if you have a good memory. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week Junior, “If I miss seeing my granny and granddad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy.”
Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things Maybe we don’t always store information in our memory effectively. When we do store information, we often make connections (联系) with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. Maybe that memories decay over time. As they have not been revisited, their biological “trace” becomes weak.
However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. That’s something worth remembering!
Introduction ____________(61) things is an important function of our brain and it’s no surprising that sometimes we are forgetful.
Thy types of memories Memory can be divided into two ____________(62). Short-term memory can hold information for a short time. Long-term memory can ____________(63) for a long time.
The importance of memories Motor-skill memory helps you remember how to do physical things. Emotional memory ____________(64) you think of how you felt about something. Memories can tell you the story of yourself. Memories can also help you manage how you ____________(65). Besides that they can make learning seem much easier.
The ____________(66) for forgetting things There is one possibility that information isn’t stored in our memory in an ____________(67) way. We cannot connect ____________(68) with other things.
Opinions on forgetting It’s not bad to forget something because it is not necessary to remember every detail of the world. Your opinion on forgetting. (Give at least one reason to support your opinion.) ____________________________________________(69)

I am a student in Beijing Foreign Studies University now and my score in the English subject was 146 on the national college entrance examination. But when I first started studying English seriously, I noticed that my grammar was a m____________(70) weak point. My writing was often full of m____________(71).

For example, I would often mix up verb tenses (动词时态). To solve this, I s____________(73) a few weeks just going over the basics. It was a little b____________(74) at first, but it made a huge difference.
One of the turning points for me was when I began k____________(75) a grammar diary. Whenever I made a mistake, I would write it down along with the correct usage myself. I remember once I kept mixing the past perfect tense w____________(76) the simple past. Writing out the differences and practising w____________(77) sentences in my diary helped me internalize (内化) the rules.
