26、Young people who are hooked on reading science fiction may be on to something. Contrary to a common misunderstanding that reading science fiction is an unworthy practice, reading it may help young people cope, especially with the stress and anxiety of living while developing critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence for young readers.

Historically, parents have considered literature “good” for young people if it provides moral guidance that reflects their own values. The question is how does literature of science fiction perform its educational function? This is central to the conflict between parents and educators about what kids should read. Those who read it have been stigmatized as geeks who can't cope with reality.

A 2015 survey found that these science fiction readers were also major consumers of a wide range of other types of books. In fact, the study noted a close connection between reading varied literary forms and an ability to understand science. Rather than limiting readers' capacity to deal with reality, reading science fiction may expand their ability to engage reality.

Science fiction does not need to provide real stories about serious social and political issues. Instead, it offers a distance between them. This distance gives readers an approach to coping with complexity and use their imagination to manage real-life challenges. It is why they are powerful and where their value lies. What better way to deal with the uncertainty in life than with science fiction, which explores uncertainty and depicts young people as brave characters, survivors and shapers of their own fates?

Let them read science fiction. In it, young people can see themselves-coping, surviving and learning lessons- that may enable them to create their own strategies for life. But the critical thinking and wise habits of mind prompted by this type of literature may actually produce creativity that everyday life and reality typically do not.

【1】Why is science fiction rejected by many parents as a proper type of reading?

A．It lacks the educational functions they need.

B．It agrees with the common belief in society.

C．It seldom develops critical and creative thinking.

D．It results in too many expectations from parents.

【2】What is the author trying to convey with the findings of 2015 survey?

A．Literature has a negative effect on understanding science.

B．More other types of reading are consumed than science fiction.

C．Reading science fiction boosts the young's ability to cope with reality.

D．Science fiction reading restricts readers' capacity to deal with stress.

【3】What does the underlined word “depict” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Criticize.

B．Employ.

C．Describe.

D．Suspect.

【4】What's the best title of the passage?

A．Why science fiction is so appealing to the young readers

B．How science fiction turns into the literature mainstream

C．What stories science fiction is bringing to the young people

D．How reading science fiction helps kids tackle reality

27、   A long layover(滞留)can be absolutely annoying. What are you supposed to do if you've got six, eight, or 12 hours to kill before your next flight? Most of the time, your options are to eat an overpriced meal, or to browse an overpriced bookstore. Well, you might have more choices than you think. These are the airports with the world's coolest activities you'd never expect.

Munich Airport (MUC), Munich: Brewery(酿酒厂)tours

Where else but in Germany would you find not only a lively beer garden at an airport but also the actual brewery that supplies it? Airbräu is home to an award-winning lineup of cold ones and even offers brewery tours if you've got the time.

Los Angeles International (LAX), Los Angeles: Canine Friends

You're already anxious enough at the airport, and a long layover is bound to make it worse. Sounds like you need to take advantage of the therapy dogs at the Pets Unstressing Passengers program (PUP for short).

Incheon International (ICN), Seoul: Ice-Skating Rink

There's tons of stuff to do at Incheon International, including catching a movie or checking out a cultural museum. But what really sets it apart is the free ice-skating rink and ice forest, which opens seasonally. Don't worry: inline skating(直排轮滑) is available year-round.

Hong Kong International (HKG), Hong Kong: Golf Simulator(模拟器)

Hong Kong Airport used to be home to a real nine-hole golf course, but it was closed in 2015 due to an expansion of the airport hotel. Still, while you're waiting for your flight, you can borrow some clubs and hit the Golfzon simulator located in Terminal 2. It's probably better for air traffic control this way.

【1】If your flight from Munich to Hongkong is delayed, you may choose to________

A.walk a therapy dog

B.hit the Golfzon simulator

C.visit a beer garden

D.enjoy the beer festival

【2】What makes Incheon International better than others?

A.Visiting a cultural museum .

B.Going skating as you like.

C.Watching an interesting movie.

D.Wandering in the ice forest year-round.

【3】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A.To show must-see tourist attractions.

B.To inform tourists of the airport facilities.

C.To introduce interesting layover activities.

D.To tell passengers unique airports worldwide.

28、   What does it take to be a good neighbor? Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbors, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.

One of the most important things in being a good neighbor is to respect a person’s privacy(隐私).When someone new moves into the neighborhood it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in they may think you are going to be one of those neighbors that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.

It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighborhood. This can not only put you on good terms with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard this shows that you respect them. If you are friendly to them they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.

Another way of being a good neighbor is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster, it is good to offer your help. Even though you have never really talked to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help out a neighbor in need.

In conclusion, if you respect a person’s privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbor and anyone would be happy to have you next door!

【1】When someone moves into your neighborhood you should_______.

A. visit them frequently B. know their privacy

C. respect them always D. avoid meeting them

【2】If you are always friendly to your neighbors you can________.

A. keep your family safe B. often visit their yard

C. make friends with them D. have your own privacy

【3】In the opinion of the author, neighbors should always be_______.

A. helpful, strong and kind B. respectful, friendly and helpful

C. honest, active and friendly D. polite, honest and kind

【4】The author develops the passage based on his_______.

A. wide knowledge B. scientific experiments

C. careful research D. real experiences

29、

Researchers have used high technology methods to learn secrets about a famous painting Girl with Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer. Vermeer is considered one of the masters of art in the 1600s. The researchers’ tests haven’t discovered the identity of the mysterious girl in the painting. But they have found out important information about how Vermeer did the painting.

A careful examination of very small pieces of paint showed where some of the painting’s pigments (颜料) came from. The white that helps form the earring comes from lead from the Peak District in northern England. The blue is made from a valuable stone found in Afghanistan. The red is made from insects that live on cactus plants in Mexico and South America.

Abbie Vandivere was leader of the research project. She expressed surprise that Vermeer used so much blue in the painting, noting, “This blue pigment was more valuable than gold in the 17th century.” Vermeer, however, didn’t have to travel the world to get his materials. He most likely bought them in his hometown of Delft.

“The research findings don’t just show details about Vermeer’s materials,” said Vandivere, “but also tell us about world trade in the 17th century.” The research also uncovered the order in which Vermeer painted the girl on a piece of cloth. Infrared imaging (红外成像) showed that Vermeer began making the work using brown and black paint. He then drew the girl’s outline in black lines before working from the green background to the foreground.

A statement on the museum’s website describes the woman as imaginary. “The painting is not a portrait (肖像), but a painting of an imaginary figure,” the website says.

【1】What have the researchers found?

A.A master of art of the 17th century.

B.The way Vermeer drew the painting.

C.The identity of the girl in the painting.

D.A famous painting by Johannes Vermeer.

【2】Where was the white paint produced?

A.In England. B.In Afghanistan. C.In Mexico. D.In America.

【3】Why was Abbie surprised?

A.The painting was in good condition.

B.Vermeer bought the paints abroad.

C.The blue pigment was more valuable than gold.

D.Valuable blue pigment was used a lot in the painting.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A.High Technology Used to Test Paintings

B.Steps to Paint Girl with a Pearl Earring

C.Secrets of a Famous Painting Discovered

D.A Famous Painter Named Johannes Vermeer

33、   Whenever Michael Carl, the fashion market director at Vanity Fair, goes out to dinner with friends, he plays something called the “phone stack” game: Everyone _______ their phones in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device before the check arrives _______ the tab (账单).

Brandon Holley, the former editor of Lucky magazine, had trouble _______ her mobile phone when she got home from work. So about six months ago, she _______ putting her phone into a milk tin the moment she walked in. It remains there until after dinner. And Mare Jacobs, the fashion designer, didn’t _______ to sleep close to a buzzing gadget (小装置). So he _______ digital devices from his bedroom — a house rule he _______ with audiences during a recent screening of Disconnect, a film that shows how technology has alienated (使疏远) people from one another.

As smart phones _______ to make their way into our lives, and wearable devices like Google Glass _______ to destroy our personal space even further. Whether it’s a physical ____________ (no iPads at the dinner table) or a conceptual (精神上的) one (turn off devices by 11 p.m.), users say these disconnecting ____________ are improving their relationships.

“Disconnecting is a luxury that we all ____________,” said Lesley M. M. Blume, a New York writer who keeps her phone away from the dinner table at home. “The expectation that we must always be ____________ to employers, colleagues and family creates a real problem in trying to ____________ private time. But that private time is more important than ever.”

A popular method for disconnecting is to choose a box for your cellphone, like the milk tin that Ms. Holley uses. “____________ my phone is buzzing or lighting up, it’s still a distraction (分散注意力的事), so it ____________ in the box.” said Ms. Holley. Others choose new ____________. “No screens after 11 p.m.” said Ari. Melber, a TV host. “Now evenings are more ____________ and I am sleeping better.” he added.

Sleep is a big factor, which is why some ____________ to leave their phones out of their bedrooms. “I don’t want to sleep next to something full of photos and emails.” said Peter Som, a fashion designer, who keeps his phone plugged in in the living room overnight. “It ____________ is a head­clearer and distinguishes daytime and sleep time.”

【1】A.piles B.allocates C.arranges D.places

【2】A.picks up B.pays off C.picks on D.pays back

【3】A.examining B.ignoring C.missing D.finding

34、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

35、A: Excuse me, do you know where the chemistry lab is?

B: Yes. It’s just on the fifth floor of this b【1】.

A: How often do you do c【2】experiments there?

B: Twice a week.

A: Can you go there without a t【3】?

B: No. That’s not allowed.

A: What does the teacher often tell you to do when you are doing an e【4】?

B: He often tells us to look c【5】and follow the i【6】.

A: What will you do when you finish the experiment?

B: We must put e【7】back in the cupboards and wash our hands.

A: Right. It is very i【8】to keep the lab clean.

B: Yes, safe as well. We must turn off the e【9】before l【10】the lab.

36、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

In Congress, July 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.

We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

A third-grade class knows exactly what will brighten an older neighbor’s holiday meal-and it isn’t a roast turkey. In October, I told the eight-year-olds I taught in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money, ”I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”

I wanted the children to experience that it’s more blessed to give than to receive. I wanted them to understand that religion is more than nice theological (神学的) ideas; that people somehow have to make it come alive.

Early in Thanksgiving week, the boys and girls arrived in class with their hard-earned money and couldn’t wait to go shopping. After pacing up and down in the supermarket, we put a turkey and decorations in the shopping cart (购物车). At last we headed toward the checkout, and then someone spotted a “necessity” that sent them racing. “Flowers!”

“We have Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants. I pronounced, limited money and after all, you can’t eat flowers.”“But Mrs. Sherlock, ” the group replied, looking at me eagerly, “we want flowers.”Defeated, sighed as the children put a bunch of pink roses into the cart.

An organization had given us the name and address of Maria, a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. Soon we were bouncing along a rough road to her house. We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods. A thin woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.

My little group hurried to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept saying “Thanks”一much to the visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the pink roses on the table, the woman seemed surprised. She was wishing it was a bag of flour, I thought. Having talked for a while, we returned to the car.

Paragraph 1

As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window.

Paragraph 2

Upon seeing the moving scene, the children became quiet.
