【原文】
In British Columbia, Canada, a local program was set up, which has benefited both elderly people and students.
Linda Jones, who used to be a nurse, is 99 years old now. She felt lonely because her daughter and son couldn’t keep her company. Recently, she signed up for a local program which aims to connect elderly people with young people. Linda and17-year-old Jessy Brown formed a pair because Jessy brown is also interested in the nursing work. Linda spent much of her life teaching and living in other parts of the world helping people in need. The stories are inspiring Brown, who also wants to become a nurse.
For the high school students who take part in the program, the time spent with elderly people can be used toward volunteer work which is needed for graduation. They are supposed to speak for 30 minutes with elderly people each week, but many go far beyond that. Students love and look forward to talking to elderly people every week.
The program has been a good fortune to both elderly people and high school students. Due to various reasons, elderly people can’t meet their families and students are having trouble getting their volunteer hours. Therefore, there has been a huge positive response from students who participate in the program.
(Listen again, please)
Questions:
11.Why did Jones and Jessy Brown form a pair?
12.How do the high school students help elderly people?
13.What can be learned about the program?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 
14．A．He has accumulated know-how.

C．To become a fireman. D．To be the team leader.
16．A．Because he is eager to continue his role as a fireman.
B．Because he is the go-to guy who always gets called to put out fires.
C．Because he brings more technical know-know to each project.
D．Because he is the one who gets called to kick-start troubled projects.
【答案】14．B    15．A    16．D
【原文】     During the seven years that I’ve been working with the aircraft parts marketing team, I’ve accumulated know-how with each new project assignment. I think it’s fair to say that I contribute a lot more value today than I did about seven years ago.
     One reason is that, with each technical project, I bring more technical know-how than I did before. I make a conscious effort to learn from past mistakes and successes and to make sure that each new project benefits from the lessons that I have learned in the previous ones.
     Another factor is leadership–the ability to lead troubled projects to success. When our Brazilian passenger aircraft project was in trouble last year, I stepped in. When distribution service projects in Germany and Canada nearly fell through this year, I stepped in. I think you’re familiar with my nickname, “the fireman.” I’m the “go-to” guy who gets called in to put out fires and get troubled projects going again. I’m eager to continue in this role, and I think you’ll agree that I’m contributing more value now than when I was a newcomer.
     I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Business today is about creating value at all levels. And I’m all about value. Clients can tell the difference between the treatment they get from a company that values them and one that doesn’t. It’s easy to see the difference in the results. But it’s not so easy to be the one who produces those results. That’s where I come in.
    So, that’s my pitch. I think you’ll agree that I’m due for a raise. Thank you.
Now listen again, please.

14. According to the speaker, what is his greatest strength?
15. What is the main purpose of this speech?

D．The computer cannot control the speed.
18．A．The cost is covered by insurance.
B．The man has to pay more than $75
C．The cost for labour is the highest.
D．Part replacing comes at an extra cost.
19．A．On the morning of November 23nd. B．On the afternoon of December 8th.
C．On the afternoon of November 23nd. D．On the morning of December 8th
20．A．Inquiry about the repair of a product.
B．Complain to the manager about a problem.
C．Negotiation about the service fees.
D．Making a purchase of an LCD screen.
【答案】17．B    18．D    19．C    20．A
【原文】W: Thank you for calling Service Center. May I help you?
M: I bought an exercise bike from your store last year, and I am having problems with it. I need to have it repaired.
W: What seems to be the problem?
M: I am not very sure, but I think there is a problem with the bike’s computer panel because the LCD screen does not display the different features, like the current speed and the level of training.
W: Nothing was on when you pushed the Start button?
M: No, nothing.
W: What is your bike model?
M: It is a 126 Upright Ford Bike.
W: I can send a technician out to take a look at your bike. It will cost $75.00 for labor. Also, if we have to replace any parts, that will be extra.
M: That is expensive. Isn’t the repair cost covered by the insurance?
W: When exactly did you purchase your bike?
M: About fifteen months ago.
W: I am sorry. The standard insurance only covers a year. Did you buy extra insurance coverage at the time of purchase?
M: No, I did not. Are there any other options besides paying $75.00 for repair labor?
W: No, I am afraid not.
M: I guess I just have to pay for the repair. When can you send a technician?
W: I have next Thursday November the twenty third at 2:00PM available. Otherwise, the next date has to be Tuesday December the eighth at 10:00AM.
M: I take this coming Thursday. Will you send out a reminder?
W: Somebody will give you a call the evening before to confirm the appointment.

Section A
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
The three-day torch relay for the Beijing Olympics, shortened considerably because of concerns about the coronavirus, started Wednesday with ____21____ 80-year-old former speed-skater carrying the flame.
The relay opened at the Olympics Foreign Park. Luo Zhihuan, the country’s first internationally competitive speed-skater, ____22____ (run) the first leg.
The torch will be carried through the three Olympics zones, starting with downtown Beijing ____23____ heading to Yangqing district and finally Zhangjiakou in neighboring Hebei Province.
The Beijing Games have already been impacted on a scale similar to that experienced by Tokyo during last year’s Summer Olympics. China says only selected spectators will be allowed to attend events, and Olympic athletes, officials, staff and journalists are required to stay within a bubble that keeps them from contact with the general public.
____24____ Beijing, with its 20 million residents, has experienced only a handful of COVID-19 cases and reported just two new ones on Wednesday, in keeping with China’s “zero tolerance” approach to the pandemic, strict rules require lock-downs and mass testing when any real or suspected case ____25____ (discover).
The truncated program seemed to have little effect on Luo, who after receiving the torch from Vice Premier Han Zheng said it was the realization of decades-long aspiration.
“I’ve never participated in the Winter Olympics, so I had hoped our country ____26____ host the Winter Olympics and I had the dream for nearly 60 years,” said Luo, wearing a red and white jacket ____27____ (mark) with No. 1. “Today my dream has come true ... How happy I am!”
The opening of the Beijing Games comes only days after the start of the Lunar New Year holiday, China’s biggest annual celebration ____28____ millions traditionally travel to their hometowns for family reunions. For the second straight year, the government has advised ____29____ living away from home to stay put, and train and plane travel has been curtailed.
Participants in the torch relay have undergone health screenings and have been carefully monitored, ____30____ (start) from two weeks before the event.
【答案】
21．an    22．ran    23．then    24．Although/Though/While    
25．is discovered    26．would    27．marked    28．when    29．those    30．starting
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在疫情期间，北京冬奥会火炬传递及开幕式情况。
21．考查冠词。句意：由于担心新冠肺炎疫情，北京奥运会为期三天的火炬接力大大缩短。周三，一名80岁的前速滑运动员开始传递火炬。根据设空处名词“80-year-old former speed-skater carrying the flame(一名80岁的前速滑运动员)”可知，此处需要冠词，表示泛指一位运动员，因80（eighty）为元音开头，所以需要使用冠词an。故填an。
22．考查谓语动词。句意：罗致焕，我国第一位具有国际竞争力的速度滑冰运动员，跑第一段。根据句子结构可知，run为谓语动词，根据上文句子谓语“opened”可知，句子的时态为一般过去时，因此需要使用动词的一般过去式。故填ran。
23．考查副词。句意：火炬将经过三个奥运区，从北京市中心开始，然后前往阳清区，最后到临近的河北省张家口。根据句意及starting with(首先)，finally(最后)可知，此处为递进关系，需使用then意为“然后”。故填then。
24．考查让步状语从句。句意：北京拥有2000万居民，尽管只有少量新冠肺炎病例，周三报告的新冠肺炎病例只有两例，但是基于中国对新冠肺炎疫情的“零容忍”政策，当发现任何真实或疑似病例时，则严格要求封锁和大规模检测。根据句子结构分析可知，此处需要连词引导从句，分析前后句可知属于让步关系，单词位于句首，首字母大写，故填Although/Though/While。
25．考查时态和语态。句意：但是基于中国对新冠肺炎疫情的“零容忍”政策，当发现任何真实或疑似病例时，则严格要求封锁和大规模检测。根据上文句子谓语“require”可知，此处为一般现在时。因为主语case与discover是被动关系，因此需使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是单数，故填is discovered。
26．考查过去将来时。句意：我一直希望我们国家能举办冬奥会。根据hope可知，此处为希望以后发生的事情，主句时态为had hoped，因此需使用过去将来时。故填would。
27．考查非谓语动词。句意：穿着印有1号的红白相间的夹克。根据句子结构分析可知，此处mark为非谓语动词作定语，修饰先行词jacket。因与jacket是被动关系，因此需使用过去分词形式，故填marked。
28．考查定语从句。句意：春节假期是中国最盛大的年度庆祝活动，按照传统，这时候会有数百万人回家与家人团聚。根据句子结构分析可知，此处为连词引导定语从句修饰先行词Lunar New Year holiday，从句中缺少状语，因此需使用关系副词when，故填when。
29．考查代词。句意：政府连续两年建议远离家乡的人待在家里，火车和飞机出行已经被缩减。根据短语advise sb to do sth.可知，此处缺少代词作宾语，“living away from home”意为“离家在外的人”为非谓语作定语修饰设空处代词，为复数概念，所以需使用those。故填those。
30．考查非谓语动词。句意：从火炬传递前两周开始，参加火炬传递的人都经过了健康检查和仔细监测。根据句子结构分析可知，此处start为非谓语动词作状语，因与前面整个句子是逻辑主谓关系，因此需使用现在分词表主动。故填starting。
Section B
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.

One Medical
On Thursday, Amazon announced its first major acquisition (收购) under Mr. Jassy’s occupation as C．E.O., spending $3.9 billion for One Medical, a chain of primary care clinics around the country. The deal is a sign of Amazon’s health care ambitions. As the company has ___31___ from one business to another — including books, CDs, electronics, dog food and clothes — it has had to look in less obvious spots to find opportunities that can provide meaningful ___32___.
Health care has been ___33___ to Amazon executives who believe it is an extremely large market, filled with inefficiencies and generally lacking the kind of ___34___ approach that Amazon tries to take with its businesses. “We think health care is high on the list of experiences that need ___35___,” Neil Lindsay, the senior vice president of Amazon Health Services, said in a statement announcing the deal. He also listed some of the ___36___ of modern health care: booking appointments, sitting in waiting rooms, even finding a parking spot.
Amazon wants to be the “front door” through which customers ___37___ health care. That One Medical sees about five times as many virtual visits as ___38___ appointments most likely made it attractive to Amazon. The company also has something Amazon values ___39___: data. One Medical built its own electronic medical records system, and it has 15 years’ worth of medical and health-system data. While individual patient records are generally protected under federal health privacy laws, the big data skill that has ____40____ Amazon’s success can be powerful in health care — for predicting costs, targeting interventions and developing products and treatments.
【答案】
31．I    32．F    33．C    34．D    35．J    36．B    37．A    38．H    39．E    40．
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了亚马逊斥巨资收购全国各地的初级保健连锁诊所One Medical一事，该交易表明了亚马逊进军医疗领域的动作。
31．考查动词。句意：亚马逊从一个业务进军到另一个业务，现已覆盖书籍、CD、电子产品、狗粮和衣服等多种产品。为了寻求新的机会，该公司只能把目标投向此前发力较少的领域，让业务线真正实现拓宽。根据句意可知，此处指亚马逊从一个业务进军到另一个业务，应用动词“march进军”，且空前为has，此处为现在完成时has done形式，应填marched，故选I。
32．考查名词。句意：同上。此处意为“实现真正的业务拓展”，应用名词“expansion拓展，扩大”作宾语，故选F。
33．考查动词。句意：医疗一直是亚马逊高管们梦寐以求的一个领域，他们认为，医疗产业拥有庞大的市场，但目前行业内普遍服务效率低下，而且在提供以客户为中心的服务方面也有所欠缺，而这正是亚马逊尝试发力的一点。此处意为“医疗一直都吸引着亚马逊的高管们”，应用动词“appeal吸引”，且此处为现在完成进行时has been doing结构，表示动作的持续发生，应填appealing，故选C。
34．考查形容词。句意：同上。此处意为“以顾客为中心的服务”，应用形容词“customer-focused以顾客为中心的”作定语，修饰approach，应填customer-focused，故选D。
35．考查动词。句意：“我认为，医疗是被列在需要改造的清单的顶端，”亚马逊健康服务的高级副总裁Neil Lindsay说道。根据句意可知，此处意为“需要被改造”，应用动词“reinvent重新改造”，且空前为need，固定搭配sth. needs doing“某事需要被做”的结构，应填reinventing，故选J。
36．考查名词。句意：他同样也列出了现在医疗的烦恼：预约、等候室等待，甚至是找停车位的烦恼。此处意为“令人烦恼的事”，应用名词“annoyance烦恼，令人烦恼的人/事”，且后文列举了几件事，应用其复数形式annoyances，故选B。
37．考查动词。句意：亚马逊想要成为顾客接受医疗服务的一个“入口”。此处意为“接触，获得机会”，故应用动词“access接触，进入”，此处customers为主语，为复数，与动词access为主动关系，根据前文的wants可知，此处应用一般现在时，应填access，故选A。
38．考查形容词。句意：One Medical的线上就医次数大概是线下的五倍，这很有可能就是她对于亚马逊的吸引力所在。根据句意可知，此处意为“线下的就医”，也就是“亲自的，现场的就医”，应用形容词“in-person亲自的，现场的”作定语，修饰appointments，应填in-person，故选H。
39．考查副词。句意：此外，这家公司还有一样东西是亚马逊极为看重的，那就是数据。根据句子分析可知，此处应用副词“enormously极其，极大程度上地”修饰动词value，应填enormously，故选E。
40．考查动词。句意：尽管单个病人的记录都被联邦健康法所保护着，但是加速亚马逊成功的数据技能在医疗方面是很有影响力的，它可以预测成本，干预目标以及发展产品和治疗。此处意为“加速亚马逊的成功”，应用动词“fuel刺激，加剧”，空前为has，此处为现在完成时has done形式，应填fueled，故选G。
III Reading Comprehension(满分 45 分)
Section A (共 15 题，每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
During the initial stages of instructed L2 (the second language) acquisition students learn a couple thousand, mainly high frequency words. Functional language proficiency, however, ___41___mastery of a considerably large number of words. It is therefore ___42___ at the intermediate and advanced stages of language acquisition to learn a large vocabulary in a short period of time. There is not enough time to ___43___the natural (largely incidental) L1 (the first language) word acquisition process. Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point, ___44___, on account of their low frequency, they do not ___45___often enough in the L2 learning material.
Acquisition of new words from authentic L2 reading texts by means of strategies such as contextual deduction (演绎) is also not a ___46___for a number of reasons. There appears to be no ___47___to intentional learning of a great many new words in a relatively short period of time. The words to be learned may be ___48___in isolation or in context. Presentation in bilingual (双语的) word lists seems an ___49___shortcut because it takes less time than contextual presentation and yields excellent short term results. Long term memory, ____50____, is often disappointing so contextual presentation seems advisable.
Any suggestions on how to use this in educational contexts should be based on a systematic ____51____ of the two most important aspects of the L2 word learning problem, this is to say,  selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditions for the acquisition process. This article sets out to ____52____a computer assisted word acquisition programme (CAVOCA) which tries to do exactly this: the programme operationalises current theoretical thinking about word acquisition, and its ____53____ are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group. To ____54____its frequency, the programme was ____55____ in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words. The experimental results suggest that an approach combining the two methods is most advisable.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了在语言学习的中、高级阶段的单词学习法。
41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，功能性语言的熟练，需要掌握相当多的单词。A. inquires询问；B. requires需要；C. receives接受；D. inspires激励。根据上文“During the initial stages of instructed L2 ( the second language) acquisition students learn a couple thousand, mainly high frequency words.”可知，语言学习初始阶段要学习几千个高频词汇，结合句中“Functional language proficiency”和“a considerably large number of words”可推知，要达到功能性语言的熟练需要更多的单词。故选B项。
42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：因此，在语言习得的中级和高级阶段，有必要在短时间内掌握大量词汇。A. difficult困难的；B. easy容易的；C. possible可能的；D. necessary必要的。根据上文可知，要达到功能性语言的熟练需要更多的单词，所以结合常识和句中“at the intermediate and advanced stages of language acquisition”可推知，在语言学习的中、高级阶段，在短时间内掌握大量词汇是必要的。故选D项。
43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：没有足够的时间来复制偶然的(主要是偶然的)L1(第一语言)单词习得过程。A. copy复制；B. focus集中；C. find找到；D. clean清理。根据下文“Incidental acquisition of the words is only possible up to a point”可知，在语言学习初始阶段的“单词偶然习得”在中、高级阶段的学生中行不通了，所以无法复制这一过程。故选A项。
44．考查副词和连接词词义辨析。句意：偶然习得这些单词只在一定程度上是可能的，因为它们的频率很低，在第二语言学习材料中出现的频率不够高。A. however然而；B. moreover而且；C. because因为；D. nevertheless然而。上文说偶然习得单词只在一定程度上是可能的，下文“on account of their low frequency, they do not　　5　　often enough in the L2 learning material.”解释了原因，应用从属连词because引导原因状语从句。故选C项。
45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：偶然习得这些单词只在一定程度上是可能的，因为它们的频率很低，在第二语言学习材料中出现的频率不够高。A. disturb打扰；B. seem似乎；C. occur出现；D. disappear消失。根据句中“low frequency”可知，出现频率不够高。故选C项。
46．考查名词词义辨析。句意：通过上下文推理等策略从真实的第二语言阅读文本中习得新词也不是一个解决方案，原因有很多。A. solution解决办法；B. approach靠近；C. problem问题；D. wonder惊讶。上文说到在语言学习的中、高级阶段，不能通过复制初始阶段的“单词偶然习得”法来增加词汇，结合句中“also not a”可推知，本段介绍了另一个解决这一问题的办法。故选A项。
47．考查名词词义辨析。句意：除了在相对较短的时间内有意识地学习大量的新单词之外，似乎没有其他选择。A. official官员；B. annual年刊；C. objective目的；D. alternative替代物。上文分别否定了“单词偶然习得”和“上下文推理”这两种习得新词的方法，所以句中“There appears to be no...”作出总结，要在相对较短的时间学习大量新词，没有其它替代办法，只能有意识地去学习。故选D项。
48．考查动词词义辨析。句意：要学的单词可以是孤立展示的，也可以是在语境中展示的。A. predicted预测；B. presented呈现；C. postponed延期；D. preferred更喜爱。根据下文“Presentation in bilingual (双语的) word lists”和“contextual presentation”可知，这里说的是单词的两种呈现方式。故选B项。
49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：用双语单词表呈现似乎是一种很有吸引力的捷径，因为它比上下文呈现花费的时间更少，而且短期内效果很好。A. available可用的；B. outstanding杰出的；C. attractive吸引人的；D. evident清楚的。根据句中“it takes less time than contextual presentation”可知，“双语单词表呈现”比“上下文呈现”花的时间少，所以似乎更有吸引力。故选C项。
50．考查介词短语和副词词义辨析。句意：然而，长期记忆往往令人失望，所以上下文呈现似乎是可取的。A. by means of借助于；B. moreover此外；C. in spite of尽管；D. however然而。根据句中“contextual presentation seems advisable”可知，上下文有转折关系，有连接副词however。故选D项。
51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：任何关于如何在教育环境中使用这个方法的建议都应该基于对第二语言词汇学习问题的两个最重要方面的系统分析，也就是说，选择相关的词汇（哪些词以及多少词）和为习得过程创造最佳条件。A. focus重点；B. analysis分析；C. object物体；D. target目标。根据句中“this is to say,   selecting the relevant vocabulary (which and how many words) and creating the best conditions for the acquisition process”可知，这是对第二语言词汇学习问题的分析。故选B项。
52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这篇文章描述了一个计算机辅助词汇学习程序(CAVOCA)，它试图做到这一点：该程序将当前关于词汇学习的理论思想付诸实践，其内容基于与目标群体相关的系统性词汇列表。A. describe描述；B. grasp抓牢；C. link连接；D. force强迫。根据句中“This article”可知，下文是文章描述的内容。故选A项。
53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这篇文章描述了一个计算机辅助词汇学习程序(CAVOCA)，它试图做到这一点：该程序将当前关于词汇学习的理论思想付诸实践，其内容基于与目标群体相关的系统性词汇列表。A. conclusions结论；B. appointments约定；C. aspects方面；D. contents内容。根据句中“are based on a systematic list of the vocabulary relevant for the target group”可知，这里说的是文章内容的基础。故选D项。
54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了确定它的频率，该程序在一些实验环境中与学习新单词的配对相关方法进行了对比。A. react反应；B. establish确定；C. memorize记住；D. leave离开。根据下文“the programme was　　54　　in a number of experimental settings with a paired associated method of learning new words. The experimental results suggest that an approach combining the two methods is most advisable.”可推知，在一些实验环境中与学习新单词的配对相关方法进行了对比是为了确定单词的使用频率。故选B项。
55．考查动词词义辨析。句意：为了确定它的频率，该程序在一些实验环境中与学习新单词的配对相关方法进行了对比。A. enhanced提高；B. invented发明；C. contrasted比较；D. behaved举止。根据句中“with a paired associated method”可推知，该程序与学习新单词的配对相关方法进行了对比。故选C项。

Hot Air Balloon Sydney For 2, Weekend Flight
INCLUDES FULL GOURMET BREAKFAST

Item: HO12955TA
Location: Windsor Sydney
Our Price: $ 299
(per person for groups of 2)
·Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2(there will be others in the balloon basket with you)
·NOTHING MORE TO PAY ON THE DAY! YOUR FULL GOURMET BREAKFAST IS INCLUDED IN THE PRICE
·Travel with the Tourism Award winners with over 20 years of experience
·Float over beautiful Hawkesbury Valley

Experience the wonder of a Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 people. Rising before dawn, you can join the crew in unpacking and preparing the balloon for flight-which is a spectacle in itselft. After an exciting launch, you’ll drift with the wind silently over the parklands, homes and hills of the Hawkesbury region of Sydney.
Hot Air Ballooning begins in the cool, still hours of the early morning, when the air is more stable. The launch site, determined by the weather on the morning, will be in or around the beautiful Hawkesbury Valley. The adventure begins by inflating the balloon using a giant portable fan. Once the balloon starts to take shape the burner is lit, heating the air inside. The hot air inside is lighter than the cool air outside and this is what creates the lift and why it is called a Hot Air Balloon. Passengers are welcome to assist the pilot and crew with inflating the hot air balloon at the launch site, which only takes about 20 minutes.
The Hot Air Balloon Flight for 2 is both picturesque and peaceful. You hear very little sound from the awakening world below. The silence is only broken with blasts from the propane burner heating the air in your balloon to keep you cruising across the skies. Watch as the sun bursts from the horizon and paints the sky pink in a spectacular morning sunrise.
To top off the morning you’ll celebrate with a full gourmet breakfast. This adventure is for 2people. There will be other people in the balloon basket with you.
Hot Air Balloon flights take place at sunrise. The exact time of your Hot Air Balloon flight experience will vary based upon the time of year and will be sent to you upon booking.

The “reading wars,” one of the most confusing and disabling conflicts in the history of education, went on heatedly in the 1980s and then peace came. Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature).
Recent events suggest the conflict of complicated concepts is far from over. Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word “phonics.”
Lucy M. Calkins, a professor at Columbia University’s Teachers College and a much-respected expert on how to teach reading, has drawn attention with an eight-page essay. Here is part of her argument: “The important thing is to teach kids that they needn’t freeze when they come to a hard word, nor skip past it. The important thing is to teach them that they have resources to draw upon, and to use those resources to develop endurance.”
To Calkins’s critics, it is cruel and wasteful to encourage 6-year-olds to look for clues if they don’t immediately know the correct sounds. They should work on decoding — knowing the pronunciation of every letter group — until they master it, say the critics, backed by much research.
Calkins’s approach “is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,” Mark S. Seidenberg, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, said in a blog post. “Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem — like solving a puzzle. She is committed to the educational principle that children learn best by discovering how systems work rather than being told.”
Many others share his view. “Children should learn to decode — i.e., go from print on the page to words in the mind — not by clever guesswork and inference, but by learning to decode,” Daniel Willingham, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, told me. He said the inferences Calkins applauds are “cognitively (认知地) demanding, and readers don’t have much endurance for it. … It disturbs the flow of what you’re reading, and doing a lot of it gets frustrating.”
Yet a recent survey found that only 22 percent of 670 early-reading teachers are using the approach of phonics and what they mean by phonics is often no more than marking up a worksheet.
Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.
Calkins said in her essay: “Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,” but it would be a mistake to teach phonics “at the expense of reading and writing.”
The two sides appear to agree with her on that.
59．Critics of phonics hold the opinion that ________.
A．children should be taught to use context
B．teaching phonics is both boring and useless
C．kids acquire vocabulary in hearing letter groups
D．pronunciation has nothing to do with meaning of words
60．Which of the following statements is Mark S. Seidenberg most likely to agree with?
A．Tell me and I will forget; show me and I will remember.
B．Skilled reading is fast and automatic but not deliberative.
C．Word recognition skill should be developed in problem reasoning.
D．Learning to make reasonable inferences is also a way of decoding.
61．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．phonics approach has been proved to be successful
B．children don’t shy away from difficulties in reading
C．the two reading approaches might integrate with each other
D．reading and writing are much more important than phonics
62．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．An everlasting reading war among critics
B．From print on the page to words in the mind
C．A battle restarts between phonics, whole language
D．Decoding and inferring confuse early-reading teachers
【答案】59．A    60．B    61．C    62．C
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讨论了自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的一场战争。
59．细节理解题。根据第一段“Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature).”（自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习，似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习，并接触许多好的文学作品）可知，反对自然拼读的人们认为要通过语境来来学习。故选A。
60．推理判断题。根据第五段Mark S. Seidenberg所说的话“Calkins’s approach “is a slow, unreliable way to read words and an inefficient way to develop word recognition skill,” ”（Calkins的方法“是一种缓慢、不可靠的读词方式，也是一种发展单词识别技能的低效方式”。）以及“Dr. Calkins treats word recognition as a reasoning problem—like solving a puzzle.”（Calkins博士将单词识别视为一个推理问题，就像解决一个难题一样。）可推知，Mark S. Seidenberg会倾向于同意熟练的阅读是快速和自动的，而不是深思熟虑的。故选B。
61．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Both sides agree that children need to acquire the vocabulary and background information that gives meaning to words. But first, they have to pronounce them correctly to connect the words they have learned to speak.”（双方都同意，孩子们需要掌握赋予单词意义的词汇和背景信息。但首先，他们必须正确发音，以便将所学单词连接起来。）以及倒数第二段“Calkins said in her essay: “Much of what the phonics people are saying is praiseworthy,” but it would be a mistake to teach phonics “at the expense of reading and writing.””（Calkins在她的文章中说：“人们所说的很多语音知识都是值得称赞的”，但“以阅读和写作为代价”教授语音知识将是一个错误）和最后一段“双方似乎都同意她的观点。”可推知，这两种阅读方法可以相互融合。故选C。
62．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Advocates of phonics (learning by being taught the sound of each letter group) seemed to defeat advocates of whole language (learning by using cues like context and being exposed to much good literature).”（自然拼读法的倡导者——通过学习每个字母组的发音来学习，似乎击败了整体语言法的倡议者——通过使用上下文等线索来学习，并接触许多好的文学作品）和第二段“Teachers, parents and experts appear to agree that phonics is crucial, but what is going on in classrooms is not in agreement with what research studies say is required, which has aroused a national debate over the meaning of the word “phonics.””（教师、家长和专家似乎都同意语音至关重要，但课堂上发生的事情与研究报告所说的不一致，这引发了全国范围内对“语音”一词含义的争论）可知，本文是有关自然拼读法和整体语言法之间的讨论。故选C。
C
People with a rare genetic disorder known as Prader-Willi syndrome never feel full, and this excess hunger can lead to life-threatening obesity (肥胖症). Scientists studying the problem have now found that the fist-shaped structure known as the cerebellum (小脑) — which had not previously been linked to hunger — is key to regulating satiation (饱食) in those with this condition.
This finding is the latest in a series of discoveries revealing that the cerebellum, long thought to be primarily involved in movement harmony, also plays a broad role in cognition, emotion and behavior. “We’ve opened up a whole field of cerebellar control of food intake,” says Albert Chen, a neuroscientist at the Scintillon Institute in California.
The project began with an accidental observation: Chen and his team noticed they could make mice stop eating by activating small pockets of neurons (神经元) in regions known as the anterior deep cerebellar nuclei (aDCN), within the cerebellum. Fascinated, the researchers gathered data using functional MRI to compare brain activity in 14 people who had Prader-Willi syndrome with activity in 14 unaffected people while each testee viewed images of food -- either immediately following a meal or after fasting (禁食) for at least four hours.
New analysis of these scans revealed that activity in the same regions Chen’s group had accurately pointed out in mice, the aDCN, appeared to be significantly disturbed in humans with Prader-Willi syndrome. In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. The result suggested that the aDCN were involved in controlling hunger. Further experiments on mice, conducted by researchers from several different institutions, demonstrated that activating the animals’ aDCN neurons dramatically reduced food intake by weakening how the brain’s pleasure center responds to food.
For years neuroscientists studying appetite focused mainly either on the hypothalamus, a brain area involved in regulating energy balance, or on reward-processing centers such as the nucleus accumbens (伏隔核). But this group has identified a new feeding center in the brain, says Elanor Hinton, a neuroscientist at the University of Bristol in England who was not involved with the study. “I’ve been working in appetite research for the past 15 years or so, and the cerebellum has just not been a target,” Hinton says. “I think this is going to be important both for Prader-Willi syndrome and, much more widely, to address obesity in the general population.”
63．Before the recent study, scientists had assumed that the cerebellum ________.
A．helps control everyday food intake
B．plays a minor role in movement harmony
C．has nothing to do with appetite regulation
D．has a direct link to behavioral development
64．According to the project conducted by the researchers, ________.
A．the healthy testees were more likely to overeat after fasting
B．food images increased the appetite of the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome
C．the aDCN in the healthy testees responded to food images more actively after fasting
D．the aDCN in the testees with Prader-Willi syndrome made no response to food images
65．What does Elanor Hinton imply about future appetite research?
A．It may help in the early diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome.
B．It will have broader implications for the treatment of obesity.
C．The potential feeding center in human brain remains to be discovered.
D．More studies are needed to understand the link between appetite and reward-processing.
66．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．How our brain controls overeating.
B．How the aDCN works up our appetite.
C．How Prader-Willi syndrome can be prevented.
D．How lowering food intake benefits our overall health.
【答案】63．C    64．C    65．B    66．A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，揭示了被认为主要参与运动协调的小脑，可以控制食物的摄入。
63．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Scientists studying the problem have now found that the fist-shaped structure known as the cerebellum (小脑) — which had not previously been linked to hunger — is key to regulating satiation (饱食) in those with this condition.( 研究这一问题的科学家现在发现，被称为小脑的拳头状结构——此前从未与饥饿联系在一起——是调节这种疾病患者饱腹感的关键。)”可知，之前小脑从未和饥饿联系到一起，也就是没有和胃口联系到一起，故推断科学家们之前认为小脑与食欲调节无关。故选C。
64．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“ In healthy individuals, the aDCN were more active in response to food images while fasting than just after a meal, but no such difference was identifiable in participants with the disorder. (在健康个体中，与饭后相比，禁食时aDCN对食物图像的反应更为积极，但在患有这种疾病的参与者中没有发现这种差异。)”可知，健康受试者的aDCN在禁食后对食物图像的反应更积极。故选C。
65．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I think this is going to be important both for Prader-Willi syndrome and, much more widely, to address obesity in the general population.（我认为这对Prader-Willi综合征以及更广泛地解决普通人群的肥胖问题都很重要。）”可知，这将对肥胖症的治疗产生更广泛的影响。故选B。
66．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists studying the problem have now found that the fist-shaped structure known as the cerebellum (小脑) -- which had not previously been linked to hunger -- is key to regulating satiation (饱食) in those with this condition.( 研究这一问题的科学家现在发现，被称为小脑的拳头状结构——此前从未与饥饿联系在一起——是调节这种疾病患者饱腹感的关键。)”及后文内容可知，文章主要讲大脑可以调节饱腹感，从而控制过度饮食。故选A。

Day of the Dead
Here’s one thing we know: Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is not a Mexican version of Halloween.
_____67_____ Whereas Halloween embraces terror and mischief on the last night of October, Day of the Dead festivities unfold over the first two days of November in an explosion of color and life-affirming joy. Sure, the theme is death, but the point is to demonstrate love and respect for deceased family members. In towns and cities throughout Mexico, revelers(狂欢者) don(穿上) funky makeup and costumes, hold parades and parties, sing and dance, and make offerings to lost loved ones.
Day of the Dead originated several thousand years ago with the Aztec, Toltec, and other Nahua people, who considered mourning the dead disrespectful. _____68_____ The dead were still members of the community, kept alive in memory and spirit—and during Día de los Muertos, they temporarily returned to Earth.
Today’s Día de los Muertos celebration is a mash-up(混聚) of pre-Hispanic religious rites and Christian feasts. It takes place on November 1 and 2—All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day on the Catholic calendar—around the time of the fall maize harvest.
Cultural heritage is not just monuments and collections of objects. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) says that cultural heritage also includes living expressions of culture—traditions—passed down from generation to generation. _____69_____ Today Mexicans from all religious and ethnic backgrounds celebrate Día de los Muertos, but at its core, the holiday is a reaffirmation of Indigenous(本土的) life.
Day of the Dead is an extremely social holiday that spills into streets and public squares at all hours of the day and night. Dressing up as skeletons is part of the fun. People of all ages have their faces artfully painted to resemble skulls, and, mimicking the Calavera Catrina, they don suits and fancy dresses. _____70_____
A．In 2008, UNESCO recognized the importance of Día de los Muertos by adding the holiday to its list of Intangible(无形的) Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
B．Some families place their dead loved one’s favorite meal on the altar(祭坛).
C．Though related, the two annual events differ greatly in traditions and tone.
D．Many revelers wear shells or other noisemakers to fuel the excitement—and also possibly to rouse the dead and keep them close during the fun.
E．Today, the calavera Catrina, or elegant skull, is the Day of the Dead’s most ubiquitous symbol.
F．For these pre-Hispanic(前西班牙时期的) cultures, death was a natural phase in life’s long continuum.

Why Laughter Yoga Makes You Smile
“Friends, I must tell you, laughter yoga is not a comedy.” Dr Madan Kataria, the creator of laughter yoga, an exercise programme involving prolonged laughter, said. Laughter yoga, a combination of breathing exercises and deliberate (故意的) laughter, came from humble beginnings, but has mushroomed into a global movement. Hundreds of clubs, usually free to attend, have now been established across Asia, Europe and North America.
“I had read so much about the benefits of laughter, and how acting out emotions, especially through facial expressions, can create them,” Kataria tells me. But he realised he wouldn’t often see people laughing in Mumbai. “The idea struck me: why not start a laughter club? Laughter reduces stress,” Kataria goes on, following some yogic postures, “it makes your immune (免疫) system stronger and keeps your mind positive!” Five people attended Katana’s first meet-up in Mumbai in 1995. He initially asked participants to tell jokes to force laughter, but as attendances grew Kataria learned that laughing for no reason at all was the best method. “We started just faking laughter,” he says. “And then people started laughing for real. It was infectious; we couldn’t stop.”
Laughter yoga addresses a deep-seated need to laugh that is being stifled (遏制).Young children can laugh hundreds of times a day. But as we get older, the fun begins to stop —our brains learn how to adapt our emotions in tune with the needs of others. We develop empathy (同理心). But so are we told to stop laughing and be serious about life. There’s often a sense that if you’re laughing, you’re not properly learning, or working, or focusing, or paying respect. Sometimes this is justified, but not always. Perhaps that is the recipe for the growing popularity of laughter yoga.

【参考范文】    
  At present, the General Office of the Ministry of Education has issued a notice on strengthening the management of mobile phones for primary and secondary school students. The notice makes it clear that students are not allowed to bring their mobile phones into the campus. If they do need to bring their mobile phones into the campus, they must apply in writing with the consent of their parents. Once the application is approved, students should leave their mobile phones in the custody of the school and are not allowed to take them into class.
     The promulgation of this notice reflects that primary and secondary school students’s addiction to the mobile phones are so strong that it is high time that the government and the school should take effective measures to restrict or stop their use of mobile phones. The students spend too much time on the mobile phones playing games or chatting with their friends on social medium platforms, which has a bad effect on their study. Parents appeal to the government to take action to stop this phenomenon.
     I think this rule can have a very positive effect on students. Without mobile phones, they are more focused on their studies, which can improve their grades. In the case of less Internet access, the negative news in the society will greatly reduce their impact, which is beneficial to their forming a positive attitude towards life, as well as their personality and the development of the whole society.
