A notice-board in a gym.BJonathan Cranwell sat on hard bench behind the long narrow desk and watched the flies fly lazily in the sun. The drone of the younger boys reading letters and older boys reciting Latin verbs made him sleepy. Jonathan had to force his eyes to stay open. He wanted to learn something new!He looked up at the schoolmaster’s high desk in the front of the room. The new teacher was from Harvard College. Jonathan’s father had been impressed with him. The boys had already had several other teachers, but none of them seemed to inspire Jonathan. So far, there was nothing to show that this one was special, though he’d only been there two days.“It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons,” the schoolmaster said. “We’ll move outdoors for the next part of our lesson.” He led the group of boys into the schoolyard. “You younger boys, dig for grubs and beetles（幼虫和甲虫）. Count their feet. See if you can describe their shells（壳）.”Jonathan watched the teacher surrounded by laughing young students. No one had ever used the schoolyard itself for a classroom. “What next?” he thought. Soon he didn’t have time to think about the younger boys, for he was running after butterflies and dragonflies himself.Jonathan and his friends liked this new way of learning.“It will be a clear night tonight. Go outside and look at the sky,” said the schoolmaster. “Look at the stars and notice their brightness and the patterns they make. These patterns have names from Greek mythology（神话）, names like Orion, Aries, and others. Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories on them.”“How is the new schoolmaster?” asked Jonathan’s father that evening, when Jonathan announced he was going out to look at the sky.“He’s different from any schoolmaster we’ve had,” Jonathan admitted. “He seems interested in everything around him, and he wants us to be curious too. He even used the schoolyard as a classroom!”“So Mr. John Adam and his new ways make school useful to you after all,” joked Jonathan’s father.“I believe he has,” said Jonathan. “I know I won’t forget the lessons he has taught us!”41. What does the underlined word “drone” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Boring sounds.       B. Clear talk.C. Enthusiastic responses.     D. Loud noises.42. Which statement shows that the new schoolmaster understood the children?A. “Go outside and look at the sky, …”B. “See if you can describe their shells.”C. “It’s too hot to sit and memorize lessons, …”D. “Tomorrow we will learn about the ancient stories …”43. The students’ laughter in Paragraph 4 suggests that they were ______.A. silly    B. confused   C. delighted   D. easygoing44. According to Paragraph 9, we can learn that ______.A. Jonathan’s father had met the new schoolmasterB. Jonathan had previously complained about schoolC. Jonathan’s father was not satisfied with the new waysD. Jonathan had shown his father his homework45. What is the main idea of this story?A. Science is all around us.B. School provides us with the best education.C. Homework is an important part of education.D. There is more than one way to learn.CMaths anxiety may be causing a national crisis, Cambridge University researchers have said, as they find that one in ten children suffer from anxiety at the subject.Researchers surveyed 1,700 British pupils aged 8 to 13 about their feelings towards the subject. They found 10% of children suffered from maths anxiety. Other feelings caused by maths included fear and anger, while physical symptoms included a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.“The project studied students’ attitudes towards maths because of what could be called a maths crisis in the UK,” researchers said. “Many children and adults experience feelings of anxiety, fear or discomfort when they face maths. This may be leading to a low level of maths in the country.” The number of adults with functional maths skills equal to a GCSE（英国普通中等教育证书）grade C has dropped from 26% in 2003 to only 22% in 2011, according to the survey. At the same time, only 57% of the children achieved the same level in functional maths skills.Dr. Denes Szucs, a professor at Cambridge’s Centre for Neuroscience（神经科学）in Education said that there is a misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from maths anxiety. “This is a common misunderstanding that we have seen in decision makers,” he said. “They assume people are anxious about maths because they are poor achievers.” In fact, more than 77% of children with high levels of maths anxiety are normal to high achievers. Dr. Szucs went on, “Probably their maths anxiety will go unnoticed because their performance is good. But they are very worried and in the long term their performance is limited. This is a real danger here: these are children who are completely able to do maths at a normal level, but may keep away from it because they feel anxious.” The research also found that girls have higher levels of maths anxiety than boys.John’s Hillman, director of education at the Nuffield Foundation said, “Mathematical achievement is valuable, as a foundation for many other subjects and as an important predictor of future academic learning, job hunting and even health. Maths anxiety can seriously influence students’ performance in both primary and secondary schools.”46. What can we learn from the survey conducted by the Cambridge University researchers?A. High performing children are safe from maths anxiety.B. Adults suffer lower levels of maths anxiety than children.C. Children with maths anxiety suffers both physically and mentally.D. Girls’ bad performance leads to their high levels of maths anxiety.47. Why did the researchers study students’ attitudes towards maths?A. They wanted to help improve students’ academic performance.B. Maths anxiety might cause great damage to children’s development.C. They intended to correct people’s misunderstanding on maths anxiety.D. The maths anxiety shared by people of all ages caused a national crisis.48. How does the author prove there may be a national maths crisis in the UK in paragraph 3?A. Presenting data.  B. Listing reasons.  C. Giving definition. D. Providing examples.49. In paragraph 4, Dr. Denes Szucs found that ______.A. boys suffered a higher level of maths anxiety than girlsB. maths anxiety of low performing children goes unnoticedC. some of the high achievers also suffered from math anxietyD. poor achievers might have physical problem in the long term50. Which of the questions could probably be answered in the paragraph that follows?A. What should be done to improve students’ performance in maths?B. What can be done to make children comfortable with maths?C. How does maths anxiety influence people’s health?D. How can children acquire functional skills?DThere’s a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too - that’s why it made Nov. 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (1694 - 1778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty（脆弱）and error; let us pardon each other’s folly - that is the first law of nature.”Nobody’s perfect. When we’re tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first.Very often, people don’t realize that they’re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don’t put themselves in the shoes of women.It’s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we’re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn’t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there’s something wrong with them.But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them?Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That’s the reason we should be tolerant.It’s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity（永恒）; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away.”51. What’s the purpose of the UN “International Day for Tolerance”?A. To arouse people’s awareness of tolerance among people.B. To celebrate the founding of the UN.C. To solve the problem of global community.D. To change people’s opinions towards globalization.52. According to Voltaire, tolerance is ______.A. being willing to express your love to othersB. trying to overcome your imperfectionsC. giving a hand to vulnerable groups（弱势群体）D. accepting each other’s weaknesses53. Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article?A. They are used to finding faults.B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty.C. They don’t see things from the angle of others.D. They are intolerant of themselves too.54. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans learned to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.55. What’s the text mainly about?A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance.B. The meaning and importance of tolerance.C. The philosophy behind Bob Marley’s song.D. Effective ways to show tolerance.第Ⅱ卷四、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）“Mom, I don’t like you; you’re not pretty now,” my five-year-old son said to me one day. Being a mother of two kids under three has certainly kept me busy. In prioritizing（优先处理）my family’s needs, my own needs are always put on the back burner.By the end of the day, when I finally have time to think about doing something for myself, I’m too tired. I reach for a glass of wine and sink down into the sofa to watch some mindless TV entertainment. I escape. I let myself daydream.With each passing day, I lose myself just a little bit more. Long ago, I waved goodbye to the fun-loving person I once was and saw the dull version of my new self.But something changed on the day my son told me I wasn’t pretty. That night, in the mirror I noticed the light had gone out of my eyes. My kids had magical eyes. They shone with wonder, hope, and adventure. Contrarily, my eyes were dull. I once had light and a journal full of adventures.Then, I decided to bring light back to my eyes. I listed new things to try before I turned forty years old. The first thing was participating in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. I live in Minnesota and jumping into the middle of a frozen lake seems very appealing. On the morning of the Polar Plunge, I changed into my 1980s workout gear（健身装备）. My son said, “Mom, you look pretty.”But I hesitated when approaching the platform to take the leap into the frozen lake. Finally, I let go of my fear and got ready to embrace the challenge. I felt happy and proud of myself as I came up from the lake. I kept screaming, “I did it!”Everyone who participated in the Polar Plunge received a blue T-shirt. Whenever I wear that shirt, my sons stated, “Mommy, you’re great. We want to do that, too”. It makes me proud.Slowly, I am returning. I am showing my family it’s important to dream and achieve it. I reach out to my friends and family. I am rebuilding myself.56. What did the author often do at the end of a day?
