In no particular order， here are some songs on the Music app of my phone：
On a Sunday Afternoon by Lighter Shade of Brown-A student of mine introduced this rap song to me all the way back in the early 1990s， when I was teaching Spanish at a local university． The story in the song takes place not too far from where I live in Los Angeles． It's a good "driving" song， nothing complicated or " deep"．
Say Something by A Great Big World-A more recent song about a couple losing contact with each other． The piano part is very little playing but beautiful．
American Pie by Don McLean-Another song from my youth in the 80s， very popular with almost every American of my generation． It retells some of the key events of the middle 20th century， a song of happy memories of the past and wanting to return to those better times．
The Weight by The Band-Another old song， originally made public in 1968， but one I didn't hear until I was in high school more than 10 years later． I don't understand the words to the song completely， but the feeling of the song is very comforting to me．
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers-This Los Angeles group wrote a song that I used to listen to when I first moved to LA more than 25 years ago． I didn't know anyone here when I first arrived． When I got bored， I used to drive up and down the major streets that cross the city from east to west， listening to this song about the "city of angel" being as lonely as I am． （Don' t worry! I have plenty of friends now．）

As a child， Obaida Omar fled the enemy's invasion of her native Afghanistan， walking for weeks through the mountains．
"During the day we had to hide in the villages because of the bombing，" said Omar， now a mother of three and Islamic Center of Rochester board member． "I walked on dead bodies． And up till today， it still troubles me a lot when I think back．"
Omar， who moved to the U．S． around 13， provided first-hand experience last Saturday of what it means to be a child displaced by war as the keynote speaker at the "Dinner for Peace，" hosted by the Student Association for the Development of Arab Cultural Awareness．
About 250 guests attended the dinner， the proceeds of which will go to education for children affected by the Middle Eastern refugee crisis．
"Children did not create this conflict， but they are its greatest victims，" said Alanoud Alzaid， the group's president， who gave the opening address at the dinner．
Junior Deema Abdo， co-founder of the non-profit Education for a Peaceful Middle East， helped explain the impact this dinner would have in the context of the Syrian refugee crisis．
"Tonight we have raised roughly $3，000 in profit， which means over 1，000 children can get the education they deserve，" she said． "Without you， tonight would not have been possible．"
The Yellow Jackets kicked the night off with a selection of lively songs， designed to entertain their audience．
The Sihir belly dancing group----an Arabic dance also performed， with pride and authority in their costumes of shining gold and bright coral colors．
"We've been planning this for two months now． It feels wonderful to see such an amazing turnout，" said Alzaid． "It reminds me that there is still humanity in each and every one of us．"
On the whole， the dinner was a success． The audience was also full of praise．
"It's putting faces to the things we always hear about，" sophomore Gabby Stillman said． "It brings back that human element and makes you remember that we're all the same．"
4. What still makes Omar afraid till now？ ______
A. Sheltering from enemy's bombing．
B. Having a hard life with three kids．
C. Fleeing for safety over dead bodies．
D. Walking in mountains in her childhood．
5. What does the underlined word "proceeds" in paragraph 4 refer to？ ______
A. Obtained money．
B. Donated equipment．
C. Supported action．
D. Conserved energy．
6. What can we learn from the passage？ ______
A. The outcome of the party is no better than expected．
B. The costumes of the performers help to convey Arab cultural awareness．
C. The move contributes to restoring public confidence in the US economy．
D. The children from Middle East and those in America receive the same help．
7. What is the main idea of the text？ ______
A. Night witnesses generosity and humanity among the US guests．
B. Students make joint efforts to help set up a peaceful Middle East．
C. Dinner raises money for children displaced by Middle East Conflict．
D. Children receive voluntary donations from many American charities．
For a generation now， school reform has meant what students must be taught and carried out by standardized tests．
Here's a thought experiment． Suppose that next year almost every student passed the tests． What would the reaction be from people？ Would they shake their heads in respect and say， "Damn， those teachers must be good! "？
Of course not． Such remarkable success would be used as evidence that the tests were too easy and it needs to raise standards． "High standards" really means "standards that all students will never be able to meet"． My little thought experiment uncovers a truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any group are successful． In America， success doesn't count unless it is got by only a few．
Consider widespread complaints about "grade inflation （膨胀）" in higher education． Many people don't even bother to stress that grades have risen over time． They simply point to how many students get A's right now． The goal， in other words， isn't to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well． Grades in testing should be used to announce who's beating whom． A school's final task， apparently， is not to help everyone learn but to prepare the game so that there will always be losers．
This makes no sense in any situation． Perhaps， for example， we can defend rating states or nations based on the quality of their air， health care or schools， but ranking them is foolish． School testing ranking doesn't lead to improvements in performance but tends to hold us back from doing our best． It makes productive teamwork less likely and leads all concerned to focus not on meaningful improvements but on trying to beat everyone else．
Most of all， it encourages the false belief that excellence is a zero-sum game． It would be more reasonable to rescue the spirit of the concept： Everyone may not succeed， but at least in theory all of us could．
8. What did the writer's thought experiment prove？ ______
A. Good teachers represent higher test scores．
B. American tests are usually too easy．
C. Excellence is regarded as a rare thing．
D. Students don't meet the test standards．
9. What does the writer think American schools seem to do？ ______
A. Promote teachers to teach better．
B. Remove the belief of beating others．
C. Help all students do well at school．
D. Ensure the existence of failures．
10. What is the writer's attitude towards schools testing ranking？ ______
A. Sympathetic．
B. Ambiguous．
C. Disapproving．
D. Unconcerned．
11. What is the best title for the text？ ______
A. Why Can't Everyone Get A's？
B. How Can Students Succeed？
C. What Standards Do Schools Set？
D. Who Get Best Grades at School？
Role models are powerful． No matter what stage of life you're at， it's good to have someone who encourages you to be the best version of yourself． Recent winners of national commendations mean we have a wider range of possible role models．
As part of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China （PRC）， President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree（主席令） on Sept 17 to award 42 people the Medal of the Republic， the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles， China Daily reported． Recipients come from various backgrounds， including scientists， lawmakers， educators， artists， model workers and six non-Chinese individuals． All have made big contributions to the nation's construction and development．
Chinese scientist Tu Youyou is one of the eight who were awarded the Medal of the Republic． Tu， who won the 2015 Nobel Prize for her discovery of the malaria drug artemisinin （抗疟药物青蒿素）， is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine． She has saved millions of lives worldwide． She has also made important scientific innovation in traditional Chinese medicine．
"It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits，"Tu once wrote in the science journal Nature Medicine．
Tu is not the only one who has given her life to the country's development． Nan Rendong， before his death in 2017， led the research and development of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope， the world's largest radio telescope． He worked on the project for more than 20 years． The facility he designed helps humans search for extraterrestrial civilizations （外星文明） and marked a Chinese technological milestone． His contributions to Chinese astronomy earned him the title， "the people's scientist"．
Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity． Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin， an honoree of the Friendship Medal， is an advocate of the Belt and Road Initiative． Having worked to strengthen the friendship between French and Chinese people in the past decades， he told Xinhua that he is "sincerely pleased" with the honor． "To work for this friendship is to work for peace，" Raffarin said．
Thanks to the great efforts made by these heroic figures， we can live in a prosperous and peaceful country． Hopefully these role models can also light the way for future nation buildings．
12. What's the main purpose of the article？ ______
A. To express thanks to national heroes．
B. To tell readers what makes a good role model．

二、 阅读七选五 (本大题共5小题，共10.0分)
You are reading a book or opening an envelope when， all of a sudden， there's a sharp pain on our finger． You see a little bit of blood and realize you've just gotten a paper cut．
16 ？ Dr． Hayley Goldbach， a resident dermatologist（皮肤科医生） at UCLA Health， spoke about the reasons．
He explained that one reason why paper cuts hurt so much is where they occur： primarily on the finger． We have nerve endings all over the body． 17 ， where there is refined movement and sensation， there is a high density of nerve endings． These nerve endings send signals to the brain about a break in the skin．
Another reason is that the wound is constantly getting opened． You often get paper cuts on the pad or the tip of the finger． It's hard not to use your hands because you're using them throughout the day． 18 ．
The paper itself also accounts for the pain． Paper might look and seem smooth but under a microscope the edge is actually jagged． It cuts you pretty quickly before you have the chance to realize it． This， in turn， leaves behind a cut that is jagged rather than smooth．
19 ． Paper cut happens so quickly that you don't have time to withdraw your hand． With some other injuries， you have time to react． With paper cut， we don't expect to hurt ourselves while working， and therefore the surprise of cuts leaves us in further pain． We tend to be careful with a knife because we know there's a danger， but we ignore the danger with paper．
If you do get a paper cut， Dr． Golbach recommends washing it with soap and water and putting a Band-Aid on it． 20 ．
A． How can we avoid the paper cuts
B． If it's infected， see a doctor immediately
C． Why do these shallow cuts hurt so much
D． However， in places like the lips or tips of the fingers
E． While paper creates cuts deep enough to upset the cells
F． Additionally， mental and emotional elements cause hurts， too
G． So there's constant pressure on the wound without a chance for it to heal
16. A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E
F. F
G. G
17. A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E
F. F

B. B
C. C

Working Individually or Working in a Team
There are basically two ways to get work done．One is to work individually．In this way，people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it．What's more，they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own．
People may also choose to work in a team，where they can learn from each other and help each other．Besides，they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion．
Personally，I prefer to work in a team，which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them．As the work can be divided among several people，it can be done efficiently．Teamwork is always important．

As part of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China （PRC）， President Xi Jinping signed a presidential decree（主席令） on Sept 17 to award 42 people the Medal of the Republic， the Friendship Medal and national honorary titles， China Daily reported． Recipients come from various backgrounds， including scientists， lawmakers， educators， artists， model workers and six non-Chinese individuals． All have made big contributions to the nation's construction and development．
Chinese scientist Tu Youyou is one of the eight who were awarded the Medal of the Republic． Tu， who won the 2015 Nobel Prize for her discovery of the malaria drug artemisinin （抗疟药物青蒿素）， is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine． She has saved millions of lives worldwide． She has also made important scientific innovation in traditional Chinese medicine．
"It is my dream that Chinese medicine will help us conquer life-threatening diseases worldwide and that people across the globe will enjoy its benefits，"Tu once wrote in the science journal Nature Medicine．
Tu is not the only one who has given her life to the country's development． Nan Rendong， before his death in 2017， led the research and development of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope， the world's largest radio telescope． He worked on the project for more than 20 years． The facility he designed helps humans search for extraterrestrial civilizations （外星文明） and marked a Chinese technological milestone． His contributions to Chinese astronomy earned him the title， "the people's scientist"．
Also receiving awards are six foreign friends who have lent their hands to assist with China's prosperity． Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin， an honoree of the Friendship Medal， is an advocate of the Belt and Road Initiative． Having worked to strengthen the friendship between French and Chinese people in the past decades， he told Xinhua that he is "sincerely pleased" with the honor． "To work for this friendship is to work for peace，" Raffarin said．
Thanks to the great efforts made by these heroic figures， we can live in a prosperous and peaceful country． Hopefully these role models can also light the way for future nation buildings．

You are reading a book or opening an envelope when， all of a sudden， there's a sharp pain on our finger． You see a little bit of blood and realize you've just gotten a paper cut．
16 ？ Dr． Hayley Goldbach， a resident dermatologist（皮肤科医生） at UCLA Health， spoke about the reasons．
He explained that one reason why paper cuts hurt so much is where they occur： primarily on the finger． We have nerve endings all over the body． 17 ， where there is refined movement and sensation， there is a high density of nerve endings． These nerve endings send signals to the brain about a break in the skin．
Another reason is that the wound is constantly getting opened． You often get paper cuts on the pad or the tip of the finger． It's hard not to use your hands because you're using them throughout the day． 18 ．
The paper itself also accounts for the pain． Paper might look and seem smooth but under a microscope the edge is actually jagged． It cuts you pretty quickly before you have the chance to realize it． This， in turn， leaves behind a cut that is jagged rather than smooth．
19 ． Paper cut happens so quickly that you don't have time to withdraw your hand． With some other injuries， you have time to react． With paper cut， we don't expect to hurt ourselves while working， and therefore the surprise of cuts leaves us in further pain． We tend to be careful with a knife because we know there's a danger， but we ignore the danger with paper．
If you do get a paper cut， Dr． Golbach recommends washing it with soap and water and putting a Band-Aid on it． 20 ．
A． How can we avoid the paper cuts
B． If it's infected， see a doctor immediately
C． Why do these shallow cuts hurt so much
D． However， in places like the lips or tips of the fingers
E． While paper creates cuts deep enough to upset the cells
F． Additionally， mental and emotional elements cause hurts， too
G． So there's constant pressure on the wound without a chance for it to heal

Working Individually or Working in a Team
There are basically two ways to get work done．One is to work individually．In this way，people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it．What's more，they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own．
People may also choose to work in a team，where they can learn from each other and help each other．Besides，they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion．
Personally，I prefer to work in a team，which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them．As the work can be divided among several people，it can be done efficiently．Teamwork is always important．
