Soon after that, the 17-year-old marked another milestone(里程碑): receiving his degree from Harvard University.Moral's parents got him admitted to the world-famous university when he was just 11. "My parents noticed I was bored in school and needed something to encourage growth, so they ended up finding the Harvard Extension School," he said."Most courses can be taken online, but Extension School students also must earn 16 credit(学分) hours in person in the school in Cambridge, Massachusetts," said Moral.Studying for both high school and Harvard at the same time wasn't easy. But officials in his high school took a lot of the work off, allowing Moral to spend a few hours each day working on Harvard's coursework.Moral has always been drawn to law and politics, and he's now hoping to go to law school. "I am, of course, excited to end this stage of my life and hungry to begin the next," he said.Moral's older sister, Brittney Jo Seger, told reporters that her brother has always been gifted(有天赋的). "When he was little, his vocabulary was amazing" she said. "Something my mom, sister and I noticed early on was his memory. That's one of the things that make him unbelievable. He can look at anything or read anything, and he will immediately remember it forever."Moral's book, Harvard in the Heartland, is also coming out, which is about his experience as "a gifted boy from a small farming town".21.What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?A.Moral spent 17 years studying for a Harvard degree.B.Moral studied for his Harvard degree completely online.C.Moral performed poorly and caused problems in school.D.Moral studied for his Harvard degree while in high school.22.What's Moral's high school officials' attitude towards his Harvard coursework?A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.C.Negative. D.Worried23.Which of the following is an important reason for Moral's success?A.Enjoying drawing. B.Having gifted memory.C.Being hungry for degrees. D.Writing about his experience.BSpain’s Literary GeniusFour centuries ago, the author of one of the greatest comedic characters in world literature took his last breath. Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), the author of Don Quixote, is to the Spanish what Shakespeare is to the English and Dante is to Italians — a national literary icon.Cervantes’ book is still appreciated today, hundreds of years after its publication, because it’s a wonderfully truthful comedy. Don Quixote, like human beings generally, has great difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Readers may laugh at his strange behavior, but we laugh, we laugh with recognition.The book records the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an older Spanish gentleman who loves romance novels. In truth, he reads far too many romances, and they have affected his mind. Quijano is so mixed up that he decides that he must become a knight himself. Imagine a comic book fan who decides to dress up as a superhero to fight crime, and I’ll get the picture.Setting the sceneAlonso Quijano reinvents himself as “Don Quixote de La Mancha”, an aristocratic (贵族的) name that suits his ambition of being a knight. Next, since every knight needs a horse, he finds himself an old one named Rocinante. But Rocinante is not exactly cut out for lite as a knight’s horse. He’s tired from years of farm work. He’s unlikely to be of much help in any fight against an enemy.The heroes in the romances Quijano reads all had a lady to love. They were highborn, like the knights themselves. Quijano chooses Aldonze Lorenzo, a farmer’s daughter, to be his beloved. She becomes “Dulcinea del Toboso”, or “the sweet woman of Toboso”. How does Aldonza feel about Quijano’s attentions? She doesn’t feel much at all, actually. Aldonza is yet another byproduct of Quijano’s imagination, like so many things.Finding a sidekickNow comes Cervantes’ second great creation: Sancho Panza. Once servant in Qiujano’s house, Panza is promoted to the role of squire (随从), because every self-respecting knight needs a squire. Panza has a sensible head on his shoulders, and he is a foil (衬托) to his foolish master.The pair faces many adventures, but none are as heroic as a knight’s should be. We laugh, rather than cry, as we read. Quijano tries to act on behalf of justice, but he doesn’t often succeed.Cervantes’ novel inspired a word that sums up Qiujano’s romantic nature: “quixotic”. In English we use the word to describe someone who is idealistic but foolish in pursuit of his ideals. It is a mark of Cervantes’ genius that he was able to identify this trait and personify it using such a great comedic character. We should appreciate him for it on this significant occasion.24.On what occasion did the author write this review?A.The 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.B.An Italian Poet, Dante’s 800th birth anniversary.C.An English genius, William Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary.D.Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.25.Which role is Alonso Quijano most likely to identify with?A.Miguel de Cervantes. B.Don Quixote de La Mancha.C.Dulcinea del Toboso. D.Sancho Panza.26.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Don Quixote’s failure to distinguish reality from imagination amuses the readers.B.Quijano manages to bring justice to the world by means of force.C.Quijano is a Spanish aristocrat with great ambition.D.Reading romance novel will make people behave in a foolish way.27.According to the author, readers admire Cervantes and his masterpiece because ________A.Cervantes is equal to Shakespeare and Dante as a national literary iconB.Quijano’s adventure is romantic and heroicC.Cervantes’ has a genius for personifying Quijano’s quixotic nature in a truthful comedyD.Quijano’s vivid imagination has brought other minor characters to life.CDo you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?28.What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?A. Lacking in money B. Full of curiosityC. Willing to help others D. Unsatisfied with their life29.Who may be against the sharing economy?A. A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B. A priest in the church near Kings CrossC. A traveller who needs accomodiation D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel30.Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?A. They can gain huge profits B. They needn’t pay any feeC. There are few rules to limit them D. The new business has no risks31.Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?A. Creative and developed B. Competitive but unpracticalC. Effective and worrying D. Traditional and acceptableDThe kindly “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” wearing Han Chinese clothing and holding a fortune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas. The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition against “Santa Claus”, according to a report byGuangming Daily.Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights, Christmas songs, Christmas trees, and the images of “Santa Claus”in recent days. As a matter of fact, foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people, particularly the youth. “Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings, ”said noted writer Feng Jicai. More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas. However, many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines (小糖人), and have never heard suona music. Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared. Under such circumstances, even the “Chinese Fortune Grandpa” is unlikely to defeat “Santa Claus”.However, it is not a bad thing to some extent. It constantly reminds people to restore the “true face” of traditional festivals. China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays, which brings more paid leaves to the public, and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals.In modern society, festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largely depends on their understandings and usages by people. Compared with foreign festivals, traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior (次于) in cultural meanings, but lack of fashion sought by modern people. If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals, and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important, the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance (继承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off.32.The second paragraph implies that ________.A.traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivalsB.all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near futureC.western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivalsD.the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals33.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayedB.the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional cultureC.many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivalsD.the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival34.Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think ________.A.traditional festivals are out of fashion nowB.the historical culture is more difficult to understandC.western festivals contain more cultural meaningsD.the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals35.What would be the best title of the passage?A.Gone are Chinese Traditional FestivalsB.True Face of Chinese Traditional CultureC.Foreign Festivals Popular with ChineseD.Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS Santa Claus第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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项。Boosting(促进) your Brain PowerWho hasn’t wished that they were just a little smarter?

Here are some ways you can go about boosting your brainpower.Sleep is one of the easiest things to do, yet one of the ones that most of us don’t do. We live in a busy age and often it seems that we don’t have enough time to get everything done. So many of us sacrifice our hours of sleep to accomplish our daily tasks. 37.Read a book. Being smarter is not only about thinking but knowledge plays a big part in it, too. Reading helps your brain stay active.38.

There is nothing like trying to break something down into simpler terms for others to help you understand it better than you did before.Work on a puzzle. It can be anything from the newspaper crossword or the new Sudoku puzzle. Puzzles help you use your brain to figure out the answers.40.
