语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的萨拉作为一名模特表现出色，她父亲想让她放弃学业专心从事模特行业，但萨拉认为学业优先，不想在模特行业投入太多精力。
1．resting【解析】考查非谓语动词。spend...(in) doing sth.花费……做某事。故填resting。
2．a【解析】考查冠词。根据句意和语境可知，萨拉只是纽约众多模特中的一个，是泛指；而且model的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
3．has been told/was told【解析】考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。 tell后接双宾语，因此可判断此句用被动语态；再根据后面句子的时态可判断用现在完成时或一般过去时。主语Sarah为第三人称单数，故答案为has been told/was told。
4．who【解析】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空后面是一个定语从句，缺少关系词，代指先行词Sarah，在从句中作主语，故填who。
5．to prove【解析】考查非谓语动词。want to do sth.想要做某事，故填to prove。
6．education【解析】考查词性转换。该空前面是形容词性物主代词her，故设空处用名词形式。故填education。
7．invitations【解析】考查名词的单复数。invitation是可数名词，其前有several修饰，故用复数形式invitations。
8．in【解析】考查介词。get a degree in...是固定搭配，意为“在……方面获得学位”。故答案为in。
9．comes【解析】考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据at the moment可知这个句子应用一般现在时，而且主语是单数，故用comes。
10.certainly【解析】考查词性转换。certainly在此处修饰形容词fun。

三．阅读理解

Sure，it’s good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes，it’s good to get along well with your teacher because，in general，it’s smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
In fact，kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more，but they’re more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school issues(问题)．
Here is a question：what if you don’t get along with your teachers? In fact，teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突)，which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better，he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However，if a certain teacher isn’t your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with him or her especially .Here are some of those responsibilities：
Attend class ready to learn.
Be prepared for class with the right pencils，books，and completed assignments(作业)．

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，讲述了和老师相处融洽不但有利于学习，还可以锻炼你的社交能力。而且，本文也讲了如何与老师相处。
1D【解析】细节理解题。由第一段可知D项正确。
2C【解析】代词指代题。结合画线词所在句来看，that是指“to make the situation better”；本段讲述的是师生之间有了个性冲突后学生该如何做，由此判断出C项正确。

Parents are fighting for their children’s right to rest across the country.Twenty-three elementary schools in Orange County，Florida，have been cutting back on rest，and even canceling it to increase class time.
In a recent Orange County School Board meeting，parents demanded that rest time be carried out in all local schools for all students.Angela Browning，a parent in the area，said that schools’ rest is ranging from zero to 30 minutes per day.
“Five-year-olds not getting rest means abuse，” said Browning，whose twins in the second grade benefit from taking a break and learn better.
“The main reason for reducing the rest time is Common Core exams including math，language arts and literacy，where the students’ performance often controls teachers’ pay and sometimes teachers may lose their jobs.Many teachers are using that extra 20 minutes that would have been spent on the schools’ scores；everybody is stressful，” said Diana Moore，president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association.
The decision of reducing rest takes place，and the time is up to each school’s rule.“Florida law requires that districts provide 900 teaching hours during the school year，” Florida’s Department of Education press secretary Cheryl Etters said in a statement.“Whether rest is part of the school day is a choice made by the school board.”
Reducing rest also can take away an opportunity for children to learn social skills，according to many experts.“In society，who cares if you have straight A’s and you get a scholarship(奖学金) to Harvard if you lack social skills？” said Mallet，a mother of two children.
1．What will Angela Browning agree with?
A．Kids of five years old had better get more break time.
B．Proper rest time improves children’s learning efficiency.
C．The more rest children have，the higher grades they will get.
D．Elementary schools should limit kids’ rest time to 30 minutes.
2．What drives so many teachers to reduce students’ rest time?
A．Parents’ demand.
B．Students’ lack of social skills.
C．Students’ bad behavior.
D．The link between their pay and the schools’ scores.
3．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Social skills are more important than high scores.
B．Whether students get A’s in school is very important.
C．Graduates from Harvard can’t find good jobs.
D．Rest time has nothing to do with students’ social skills.
4．What’s the main idea of the text?
A．The government is to order schools to increase rest time.
B．Students expect to get more time to play in school.
C．Parents struggle for the rest right for their kids in school.
D．Teachers’ pay is related to their performance in teaching.
语篇解读　学校为了提高学生的分数而缩短学生的休息时间，家长们对此提出了强烈抗议。
1B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“...whose twins in the second grade benefit from taking a break and learn better.”可知，Angela Browning认为适当的休息能提高孩子的学习效率。故选B项。
2D【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“...where the students’ performance often controls teachers’ pay and sometimes teachers may lose their jobs.”可知，学生的成绩和老师的薪水挂钩，所以很多老师减少了学生的休息时间。故选D项。
3A【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In society，who cares if you have straight A’s and you get a scholarship(奖学金) to Harvard if you lack social skills？”可推知，社会技能比分数更重要。故选A项。
4C【解析】主旨大意题。本文在开头提出主题：“Parents are fighting for their children’s right to rest across the country.”，下文就这个问题进行了分析和论述。故选C项。

In a faraway area in northern Mexico，there lives a native Indian group called the Tarahumaras(塔拉乌马拉族)．Besides owning some cooking tools and farming equipment，the Tarahumaras exist much as they did before the Spanish arrived in the 1600s.They live in caves or in small houses made of stone and wood，and they eat what little they can grow on the dry land.
Ten years ago，linguist(语言学家) James Copeland entered the world of the Tarahumaras to study their language and culture.Since then，he has been visiting the Tarahumaras three or four times a year.Tarahumara is not a written language，so part of Copeland’s project was to learn to speak Tarahumara so that he could deal directly with the people.“There are no language police，” Copeland says.“Children are seldom corrected by their parents.They learn by observation of speech in conversations and by imitation.”
Copeland learned the language through his frequent exposure to it and by analyzing the grammar.His linguistic skills and mastery of German，Spanish，French，and Russian，plus a partial knowledge of some twenty other languages，also helped.Drawing on his research，Copeland plans to produce a Tarahumara grammar book in English and perhaps one in Spanish.
The idea to study the Tarahumaras came to Copeland in 1984 when he discovered that very little research had been done on their language.He got in touch with a Tarahumara Indian called Lornezo Gonzalez through a social worker who worked with the Tarahumaras in the border town of Juarez，Mexico.At first，Gonzalez was very reluctant to cooperate.He told Copeland that no amount of money could buy his language.But after Copeland explained to him what he intended to do with his research and how it would benefit the Tarahumaras，Gonzalez agreed to help and took Copeland to his village.“Over a period of a year our relationship became closer and warmer，” says Copeland.“Thanks to him，the Tarahumaras started trusting us and understood what we were doing.”

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways.When people cheat，it’s not fair to other people，like the kids who studied for the test or who the true winners of a game were.
Many people like the action of cheating.In their opinion，it makes difficult things seem easy，like getting all the right answers on the test.But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test—unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them.The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they shouldn’t get that good grade.And，if they get caught cheating，they will be in trouble at school，and maybe at home，too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying.Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating.Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating，cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before the day and couldn’t study，it would be better to talk with the teacher about this.And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice，you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together.Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.

Since his students began using Quizlet，English teacher Tristan Thorne has noticed an improvement in their ability to learn and use new words.Quizlet is a learning App，a computer program you use on your mobile phone.It can help users build and test their knowledge of English words.Quizlet has word sets for millions of subjects.And，it is quickly becoming a useful mobile tool for language learners.
Thorne teaches at Columbia University in New York City.Thanks to learning Apps，Jeff Strack，another English teacher，has also noticed improvement in his students’ ability to remember information.He teaches at Hostos Community College，also in New York.He and Thorne are part of a growing number of language educators adding mobile Apps to their classes.
Strack and Thorne seem to agree that the days when teachers would not permit the use of mobile phones are gone.When they use Apps，language learners communicate more differently than in a traditional classroom.Users act on or respond to something，instead of just listening to new information.
Thorne believes that Apps can help learners become more active in learning.For example，each week，his students are required to add vocabulary words into Quizlet for others to use.He says some Apps also make it easy for students to know their language strengths and weaknesses.
The biggest improvement Strack has seen in his students is that they are much more active in whole-class or small-group discussions.“Apps let all students take part in the activity，whether it’s a game，quiz or practice activity，” he says.
Many existing learning Apps are designed for students of all ages and levels.Some are designed for group activities.Some support independent learning.Still some are good for homework.Thorne says he especially likes Quizlet and three other Apps：QR Codes，Socrative and Evernote.
1．What do Strack and Thorne do to improve their teaching?

Ever since the University of Bologna in Italy was founded in 1088 as the first modern university, most people have associated great universities with major cities.__1__
Colleges and universities in the U.S., though, have followed a different pattern.To be sure, leading universities such as the University of Chicago and Columbia University in New York City call major urban centers home.__2__ In some cases, the university is，for all practical purposes, the whole town.
__3__ Many early colleges and universities were founded by religious (宗教的) groups that sought to educate students far from the distractions of city life.When Harvard University was founded in 1636 by Congregationalist Church ministers，Cambridge, where the university is now located, was quite separate from Boston.Moreover, when the U.S.began building a network of public universities in the 1860s to bring agricultural and technical research and know—how to the westward-spreading frontier, most were located in small towns.__4__
Given the huge diversity of U.S.higher education, the message for international students shopping for a great university is doubled.__5__ Don’t be put off if you have never heard of the city or town where a school is located.Top-rated colleges and universities located in lesser known places may amaze you in an unimaginable manner with their high quality and a significant number of their international students.
A.Bloomington is also a great college town.
B.Think the Sorbonne in Paris or Peking University.
C.Set your sights beyond the most well-known schools.
D.One reason：there were no major cities there at the time.
E.There was no better recipe for popularity than small campuses.
F.Part of the explanation for this lies in America’s distinctive history.
G.But many are located in cities and towns most people have never heard of.

Taking notes is important.You don’t need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he or she writes on the board or any special fact you think you might need for a test. 2 In this way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don’t skip school.You will be missing out on stuff. 3 However，you will have more work and you have missed lectures.Also，try not to be late for class.It’s most likely that your teacher won’t appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
4 If you have an “I don’t care about school or this class” attitude，then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems.The same goes for lazy attitude.Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students.Try not to laugh when other students make mistakes.
Always ask questions. 5 If you don’t understand，ask someone.Read your textbook and notes，and then if that fails，seek help.Ask a teacher，friend，classmate，parent，etc.Get a tutor if you need one.

语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章针对如何成为尖子生提出了几条建议。
1．C【解析】根据下文的“I cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you.”可知，怎么强调上课注意听讲的重要性都不为过。本段都是围绕着上课听老师讲课而展开的。故可知C项“注意老师说的每一句话”符合题意。
2．F【解析】根据下文的“In this way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.”可知， F选项“用自己的话来记笔记”符合题意。
3．A【解析】根据下文的“However，you will have more work and you have missed lectures.”可知，然而，你会有更多的功课要补，并且已经错过了很多的课。由“However”可知，前后两句为转折关系。所以判断出A项“确实，你能够补上功课”切题。
4．B【解析】根据下文的“If you have an ‘I don’t care about school or this class’ attitude...The same goes for lazy attitude.Have a respectful attitude to the teacher...”可知，本段的标题是“要对事情保持好的态度”。故B项切题。
5．D【解析】根据下文的“If you don’t understand，ask someone.Read your textbook and notes，and then if that fails，seek help.Ask a teacher，friend，classmate，parent，etc.Get a tutor if you need one.”可知，如果你不明白，问问别人。故D项“需要帮助并不丢脸”符合语境。

Being relaxed during class is a bad habit，and it is also bad for your grade.Being focused in class not only proves to teachers that you are a capable student but also shows that you have the ability to control yourself，which will be very important.
1 No matter how much you want to sit with your friends during the class，try your best to avoid them.Talking with friends around you is not going to give you the focus in class.This will get you into trouble.
Look at the teacher and make eye contact.Your teacher is not just standing up there talking. 2 Show the teacher that he or she has your full attention by looking them in the eye.This person should have your full attention at all times during class.
Take notes.By taking notes，you’ll be able to “get into” the lesson.Write down key points as your teacher speaks.And listen to the key phrases such as “This is important”“This is the main idea”“This will be in the test” etc. 3
Get involved in class discussions.This is a wonderful way to become a more focused，successful student.When a teacher asks a question，offer to answer it. 4 This shows the teacher that you are listening carefully during the class.
Ask a question. 5 This really shows your teacher that you want to be better，and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with.Chances are that someone else in the class has the same question (and was too afraid to ask！)．They’ll be relieved，and so will you.
A．Avoid sitting with friends.
B．This can help you listen more attentively.
C．If he or she asks for an opinion，share your own.
D．Talking with friends makes you lose interest in class.
E．He or she is trying to give you an acceptable education.
F．The more quickly you answer，the more attention you pay.
G．If you don’t understand something，never be afraid to ask.

1．A【解析】设空处为本段的主题句。从内容上看，本段主要讲课堂上尽量不要与朋友坐在一起，因为与周围的朋友交谈会分散注意力。A项(避免和朋友坐在一起)符合题意，故选A。
2．　E【解析】根据本段主题句“Look at the teacher and make eye contact.”可知，要跟老师进行眼神交流。设空处顺接上文，进一步说明课堂上老师不仅仅是在讲话，他们其实是在努力让自己的课程得到学生的接受，故选E。
3．B【解析】根据本段主题句可知本段主题为“做笔记”，再根据设空处上文可知，课堂上要记笔记，记下老师所讲的重点，设空处置于段尾，总结上文说明这样做的好处，即有利于更专心地听讲，选项B符合语境，故选B。
4．C【解析】本段主题是要加入课堂讨论，即当老师提出问题时，要主动回答。如果他或她想知道大家的观点，要敢于分享自己的想法，故选C。
5．G【解析】从内容上看，本段主要讲课堂上要敢于问问题，选项G承接主题句，引起下一句“This really shows your teacher that you want to be better，and can recognize the things you are having difficulty with.”，故选G。

Say No to Limiting Beliefs

Little by little you’ll get better.As you succeed，you’ll grow confident to be more outgoing，which will lead to more social success. 5
A．Then，you’re in a positive state of finding more friends.
B．They could improve their social skills through these ways.

4．E【解析】根据小标题“Say No to Limiting Beliefs”(对受限心理说不)，并结合前两句可知，作者认为“害怕在交流过程中犯错，害怕尝试”均为内向的人持有的错误观点，需要摒除。选项E中的“false beliefs”与小标题中的“Limiting Beliefs”相一致。故选E。
5．A【解析】根据全文及前句“As you succeed，you’ll grow confident to be more outgoing，which will lead to more social success.”可知，变得外向对社交有积极影响，然后，你就处于可以寻找更多朋友的积极状态。此处与前句为顺承关系，故选A。
