When we moved into our home in Maui, Hawaii, 16 years ago, one good thing about this house was the huge avocado tree growing in the backyard.

This tree gave the most delicious avocados I have ever tasted. I lived on these avocados when nursing my first child. Fresh avocado was the very first food for my kids. This tree was so huge that it cast a massive shadow over our backyard. It was truly our magical tree.

Until one day, someone from the Health Department came to tell us that our avocado tree was too large and needed trimming. In New York, you get in trouble if you don’t clear the snow off your sidewalk. Here, it’s when your trees are too high. So along came the trimmer, leaving just the trunk and a few branches. I was sad. The kids were all sad. Some friends who knew it would say, “It’s going to grow back. Your next avocados will be crazy!” Yeah, whatever. The tree is gone, so stop doing that. It just didn’t work.

But a few days later, I noticed some unusual butterflies flying around the yard. And then, the sun came in the kitchen, creating this pleasant warmth once blocked by the huge tree. After about a month, I started to notice some tiny green shoots coming out of the cut branches, which eventually turned into full-on bright green leaves.

I started to feel like all was going to be fine, kind of like life. Little do we know what seems really difficult is actually life’s way of making us stronger. It’s life’s way of bringing in the butterflies, the sunshine, and the delightful flowers. We all know that saying, “It will be OK in the end. If it’s not, it’s not the end.”

24. What is mainly conveyed in paragraph 2 about the avocado tree?

A. Her kids’ love for it. B. Its fruit’s good taste.

C. Her expectation of it. D. Its benefits for her family.

25. Why did the author’s friends say the words in paragraph 3?

A. To laugh at her. B. To cheer her up.

C. To show their regret. D. To express their excitement.

26. What happened to the avocado tree in the end?

A. It had no branches. B. It blocked the sunshine.

C. It was full of life again. D. It bore more avocados.

27. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A. You harvest what you sow. B. Luck and Misfortune comes in turn.

C. Success won’t come unless you go to it. D. The important thing in life is to have a dream.

【答案】24. D25. B26. C27. B

C

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.

According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”

Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”

The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.

When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.

28. How does the author introduce the topic?

A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.

C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.

29. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things?

A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.

C. Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.

30. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to?

A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.

C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.

31. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness?

A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.

D

For thousands of years, Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city. Among them, well-known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan, in the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), composed his book, Commentary on the Water Classics, after studying the original literary version, Water Classics. He later expanded the river records to 1, 252 from the original 137.

The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University. They have been using drawing software and 3D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description. So far, they have completed research on four rivers.

“Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations,”Li said, giving the example of Qianjin’e, one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang, Henan. In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation (灌溉) in ancient Luoyang, the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest-southeast river. However, the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons. To solve that, on the northern side of the canal branch, the officials built a reservoir (水库) and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch, where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.

In Commentary on the Water Classics, a total of 2, 800 cities are recorded with details. Still, the process of recreation takes much effort. After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork, the team has gradually created the model with 3D modelling software based on repeated deductions (推论).

For Professor Li, the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1, 000 years ago, but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today’s reference.

32. What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics?

A. It has been out of date. B. It explains 3D modelling.

C. It keeps records of 137 rivers. D. It is based on previous studies.

33. What does the underlined word “converge” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Join. B. Pass. C. Cross. D. Begin.

34. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation?

A. Its major problems. B. Its detailed analysis.

C. Its complex process. D. Its successful application.

35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. 3D Technology Fuels Modern Research

B. Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research

C. An Effective Approach to Model Recreation

D. A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics

Take a Break from Social Media

Good morning, everyone!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That’s all. Thank you.

【答案】Version 1: 从“social media的弊端”角度陈述理由

Take a Break from Social Media

Good morning, everyone!

I’m so privileged to deliver a speech here. In the age of the Internet when many teenagers are addicted to social media, I think we should take a break from it.

Firstly, with much time spent on social media, students nowadays cannot concentrate on their studies, which will inevitably affect their academic performance. Besides, excessive exposure to the virtual world may create a false sense of reality and a loss of real human contact. Lastly, spending too much time on social network could also bring about mental and physical health issues such as depression and poor eyesight.

Even though social media can keep us updated, we do need to turn off our devices for a while and embrace the physical world.

That’s all. Thank you.

Version 2: 从“take a break的益处”角度陈述理由

Take a Break from Social Media

Good morning, everyone!

I’m so privileged to deliver a speech here. In the age of the Internet when many teenagers are addicted to social media, I think we should take a break from it.

Firstly, taking a break from social media allows us to have more real contact with our family and friends, which helps us establish better interpersonal relationships. Besides, when freed from social media, we will have more time for hobbies like reading and painting, through which we can enjoy our life to the fullest. Lastly, spending less time on social media makes time for doing exercise and thus helps improve both our physical and mental health.

Even though social media can keep us updated, we do need to turn off our devices for a while and embrace the physical world.

That’s all. Thank you.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Annie stood at Michael’s front door waiting excitedly for him to answer. This party sounded so fun! “Just be yourself, ”Annie’s dad had advised when he’d dropped her off. But who else could she be but herself?

Michael swung the door open, greeting Annie with a welcoming smile. But when she followed him in, she felt embarrassed. She didn’t recognize a single kid. And they were all older!

As she sat down, every kid stared at her. Her colourful new dress, she believed, was stupid compared with the other girls’ tasteful dresses in soft golden colours. The thought made her ashamed. “This is my good friend Annie,” Michael announced. “She’s the smartest, cleverest person I know! Her brain is filled with a million fantastic things you’ve never even heard of”.

After that introduction of her, Annie felt even worse as all the kids looked at her doubtfully. Could she maybe slide out of her seat when no one was looking and just hid under the table? Instead, she sat there with a frozen smile on her face, feeling anything but herself.

The kids all started to eat, chatting and joking as they stuffed their mouths. They were barely even looking at her now. Annie didn’t know whether to feel relieved or left out. Finally, she filled her plate and started eating.

“Pass me some of those strange bananas,” a girl said. “Yeah, the bananas!” somebody across the table shouted. All at once, without any warning from her own mind, Annie’s mouth opened and words came out.

“They’re not exactly bananas,” she blurted. “They’re plantains(大蕉)!” She couldn’t help herself. “They look like bananas, but they taste totally different. Some people call them the potato of the tropics.”

Now all the kids were looking at Annie again, but this time their faces were interested and friendly.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Now all the kids were looking at Annie again, but this time their faces were interested and friendly. They started asking her questions. They wanted to know about her family and her pets. A girl even complimented Annie on her dress. Someone asked her more about plantains, and she recited everything she knew about them, which was a lot. Then, at Michael’s urging, she told an old folktale about how eating a plantain saved a frog from a deadly spider bite. “You are the star of the night!" Michael said when the evening was over. Annie sighed, relaxed and happy. She wasn’t sure about being a star, but Daddy was right. She’d managed to be herself after all.
