Judy Wright and her husband decided to move closer to their son, Chris, who lived in Georgia. About a month after the move, Judy fell ill, suffering from her ongoing battle against Parkinson’s disease.
Her condition worsened rapidly and she required medical care at home. The family hired a nursing aid who canceled at the last minute. Instead, a woman named TunDe Hector showed up in her place.
One day, TunDe shared a story with Judy and her family. She remembered a particularly difficult day in 2014, when a stranger had helped her with a kind gesture. She had run out of gas, and with only $5 in her pocket, was walking to a gas station, gas can in hand. A man saw her walking and turned his car around. He paid for her gas and gave her all the cash left in his wallet. Upon hearing the story, Judy’s son, Chris, took off his hat and said, “That was me!” He was the stranger that had helped TunDe on that difficult day.
During the care of Judy, the Wright family learned about TunDe’s family and her own dream. The nursing aid, TunDe hoped that one day she could become an OB-GYN nurse. Her tuition was past due (逾期) and she had a family to care for, but she was determined to achieve that goal for herself and her family.
Judy died on July 9, 2017. Instead of flowers, her family asked mourners (悼念者) to donate to TunDe’s education, to assist her in paying for her nursing school. In less than a week, they raised more than $8,000 and presented her with the surprise check.
24. Why did Judy’s family choose TunDe in the end?
A. To help her with a kind gesture.
B. To replace another nursing aid.
C. To look after Judy in the hospital.
D. To give Judy the best medical care.

26. How did the Wright family help TunDe after Judy’s death?
A. They paid for her education.
B. They helped care for her family.
C. They helped her realize her dream.
D. They bought her a surprise present.

C. The truth never fears investigation.
D. Constant dropping wears stone.
C
A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important. These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion (万亿）connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.
Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern “A-B-B”. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the “A-B-B” pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.
Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. “Position is key to language,” she says. “If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: ‘John caught the bear.’ is very different from ‘The bear caught John.’”
Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies －regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio－learned nothing.
28. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?
A. Having a higher IQ
B. Experiencing new information
C. The baby’ early age
D. The connection with other babies
29. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?
A. Babies identify different sound patterns.
B. Word order is relevant to meaning.
C. Babies can well understand different words.
D. A certain brain region processes language.
30. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Words have different sounds.
B. Different languages have different grammar.
C. Grammar is important in learning languages.
D. Different word orders have different meanings.
31. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?
A. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.
B. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.
C. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.
D. Social communication improves babies’ brain development.
D
On average, Americans spend about 10 hours a day in front of a computer or other electronic devices and less than 30 minutes a day outdoors. That is a claim made by David Strayer, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah. In his 2017 TED Talk, Strayer explained that all this time spent with technology is making our brains tired.
Using an electronic device to answer emails, listen to the news and look at Facebook puts a lot of pressure on the front of the brain, which, Strayer explains, is important for critical (有判断力的) thinking , problem-solving and decision-making.
So, it is important to give the brain a rest. And being in nature, Strayer claims, helps get a tired brain away from too much technology. More than 15,000 campers from around the world attended an international camping festival in September. That is when friends and family take time off and escape to nature for several days. They take walks, climb, explore, swim, sleep, eat and play. Camping may be just what a tired brain needs.
Take Carl for example. He lives in West Virginia and enjoys camping. He says that staying outdoors makes him feel at ease. It also prepares him for the work he must do. Kate Somers is another example who also lives in West Virginia. She says she enjoys camping with her husband and two children. She calls it a “regenerative” experience. At the University of Utah, David Strayer has studied both short-term and long-term exposure to nature. He found that spending short amounts of time in nature without technology does calm the brain and helps it to remember better. However, he found, it is the long-term contact with nature that does the most good. He and his research team found that spending three days in nature without any technology is enough time for the brain to fully relax and reset itself.
32. What is David Strayer’s opinion?
A. Americans dislike outdoor activities.
B. Electronic equipment should be quitted.
C. New technologies are a double-edged sword.
D. Electronic equipment brings great convenience.
33. Why does Strayer insist we go outdoors?
A. To try another lifestyle
B. To refresh our brain
C. To make better decisions
D. To play with our family and friends
34. What does the underlined word “regenerative” mean?
A. Reborn B. Memorable C. Remarkable D. Tiring
35. Which is the proper title for the passage?
A. Tips on Using New Technologies
B. Good Rest Develops Good Memory
C. Electronic Equipment Harms the Brain
D. Being in Nature Is Good for the Brain

1.G【解析】根据下文介绍,可知大学的奖学金是给那些懂得尽力去争取的学生的,G项符合此意
2.E【解析】根据本段后一句的“ the football player”,可知这些都是属于运动员( athlete)的范畴。
3.F【解析】上文讲到要参与社区义务工作,因为有效的社会义务工作会让你在大学里高人一筹,F项符合此意4.B【解析】本段主要讲要通过各种方法和奖学金评选活动成员保持联络,以增加获选的可能性。
5.C【解析】本段最后一句的含义是“尽早的申请会带来更多的申请机会,申请了100种奖学金的人比起只申请10种奖学金的人更有机会获得成功”,这说明申请奖学金其实也是一种“数字游戏( numbers game)”。
1. what2. called3. later4. explorer5. that/ which6. from7. was declared8. valuable9. named10. mountains
1. what【解析】考查连词。what引导的是宾语从句,在句中充当主语,并代指“地方”。
2. called【解析】考查非谓语动词。call和 bridge在逻辑上构成了动宾关系,因此用过去分词形式来充当后置定语。3. later【解析】考查副词。late作副词用时,意为“晚,最近”,而 later作副词用时,意为“后来,以后”。根据上下文,可知用 later表示“以后”符合文义。
4. explorer【解析】考查名词。 Francisco Vazquez de Coronado是个人名,充当前词的同位语。由此可知设空处应该填名词, explorer符合要求。5. that/ which【解析】考查定语从句。定语从句的先行词是指代物,且从句中缺少主语,故用that或 which引导。6. from【解析】考查介词。 independence经常后面跟from连用,属于是固定搭配。7. was declared【解析】考查语态。 declare后面可以跟双宾语连用,句意为“在1912年,新墨西哥州被宣布成为美国的第47个州”,由此可知此处应该用一般过去时的被动语态。
8. valuable【解析】考查形容词。as+ad+as是常见结构,而 value的形容词形式就是 valuable。
9. named【解析】考查时态。本句是在回顾新墨西哥州州名的由来,所以谓语动词用一般过去时。
10. mountains【解析】考查名词单复数。 mountain是可数名词,再根据后文的“ forests and deserts”可知答案。
短文改错：
1.in-on【解析】考查介词。装牛奶的壶应该是放在头上,而不是头里。
2.Walked- Walking【解析】考查非谓语动词。句子的主语是she,和walk构成了逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作伴随状语。
3.before- after【解析】考查连词。句意应该是“她开始在打算在她卖了牛奶之后,她可以去买些什么东西”。所以这里用after引导时间状语从句。
4.her- herself【解析】考查代词。当句子的主语和宾语是同一人的时候,宾语应该用反身代词。
5.man-men【解析】考查名词单复数。根据上文中的all,可知舞会上的男性应该不止一个,所以man用复数。
6.shakes- shook【解析】考查时态。文章是在讲一个发生在过去的故事,所以用一般过去时来表述。
7.在milk前面加the【解析】考查冠词。女孩洒在地上的牛奶就是她准备拿到市场上去卖的牛奶,所以用定冠词来表示特指。
8.去掉went后面的to【解析】考查介词。 go back是常见用法,意为“回去”,此处back是副词。
9.sadly-sad【解析】考查形容词。feel是感官类系动词,后面常跟形容词作表语。
10.hatching- hatched【解析】考查语态。 hatch意为“孵化”,和小鸡之间是被动关系,所以这里用过去分词形式构成被动语态。
六、书面表达
Mobile phones bring us much convenience and have become part of our life. However,
more and more phubbers, especially young people, would like to stare at their screen anytime
and anywhere, whether they are riding on a bus, eating at dinner tables or walking across the
street. They never care about what happens around.
As far as I am concerned, the habit of phubbing has many disadvantages. First, it does
harm to people’s health, especially their eyes. Besides, phubbing is also dangerous while
people are crossing the street. What’s more, on some occasions, such as at dinner table,
phubbing seems impolite to others.
In a word, people should make good use of mobile phones instead of becoming addicted
to phubbing
