一、完型填空

    Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, having enough experience and knowledge, we regard these failures as    1    important part of learning.

My student Jeremy was in Grade Three. His worry about failure kept him away from classroom games which    2    children enjoyed. He seldom answered my questions in class, because he was afraid of    3    mistakes. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But    4    changed until midterm, when a new teacher Mary came. She was    5    smart and pretty that everyone in our school loved her. Jeremy    6    to her as well.

One day, students were doing math problems at the blackboard. Jeremy copied problems    7   . But he missed the fourth problem    8    was quite easy and began to cry.

I didn’t know what to do. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Mary’s face. From the desk she got a box which was    9    pencils. “Look at these, Jeremy.” she continued, “They are    10   . See how the erasers are won（磨损的）?That’s because I make mistakes too.    11    I make a mistake, I always erase it and try again. That’s what you must    12    to do, too.”

She tapped him on the shoulder and    13   up. “Here,” she said, “I will leave one of these pencils on your desk    14    everybody makes mistakes, even teachers.” Jeremy smiled.

The pencil became Jeremy’s prize. It made him    15    the meaning of making mistakes—it’s all right to make mistakes, as long as you erase them and try.

    Do you really know how to eat fruit in a healthy way? We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit,    16    it into pieces and putting them into our plates. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat fruit.

Fruit should be eaten on a(n)    17    stomach. If you eat fruit like that, it will go straight through the stomach into the body. It will be good for your health and provide you with plenty of    18    for life activities. But when you eat two pieces of bread and then some fruit, the situation will be different. Do you know the reason? You have probably heard people saying “Every time I eat pineapple, I have an ache in my stomach.” When the fruit is    19    with other food, it produces gas. That’s why you will feel    20    . Actually, we will not check if we eat the fruit reasonably.

Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. When you    21    want to drink fruit juice, drink only    22    fruit juice, not from the bottles or cans. Don’t drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruit because you can’t get a lot of vitamins or minerals. You mainly get the    23    .

If you understand the    24    way of eating fruit, you’ll have the    25    of beauty, health, energy.

17．A．full B．empty C．sick D．healthy

18．A．energy B．harm C．pleasure D．spirit

19．A．sold B．filled C．mixed D．joined

20．A．unhappy B．excited C．relaxed D．uncomfortable

21．A．totally B．hardly C．clearly D．really

22．A．expensive B．colorful C．fresh D．small

23．A．taste B．feel C．shape D．smell

24．A．easy B．right C．unusual D．special

25．A．memory B．theory C．meaning D．secret

    Today we can do everything with apps — pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and healthcare

Let’s start with the ways to get healthcare. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor on line and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.

In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.

A whole new age of medical care seems likely to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-healthcare?

Firstly, we should think about the healthcare experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist, who can see and tell how a patient is doing. This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.

Next, sharing the details of one’s life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in healthcare.

Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there’s room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds — and also great worry.

So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it. There is medical equipment that can be used at home to send important signs and heart sounds through telemedicine. It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.

But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need someone to listen to — and care about — their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let’s not allow our humanity to be one of them.

29．According to the passage, how does technology help healthcare?

A．It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites.

B．It offers a patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis.

C．It improves relations between doctors and patients.

D．It provides an opportunity to build a medical team.

30．The underlined word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.

A．an ability to understand B．an interesting action

C．a chance to win D．a fair decision

31．What do you know about techno-healthcare from the passage?

A．Patient websites require trust from doctors.

B．Talented companies can give medical advice.

C．Flagged results may cause worry for patients.

D．Medical equipment collects patients’ stories.

32．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．technology can deal with unexpected effects

B．telemedicine can take the place of usual healthcare

C．it is easy for patients to adapt to the new technology age

D．techno-healthcare should take humanity into consideration

    Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He would suddenly fall ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.

He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He worked with the seriously sick children. He would talk, play and do arts with them.

One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralysed（使瘫痪）her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started to visit her in her room, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “you can do anything you set your mind to.” At the end of the day, the girl began to paint using her mouth.

Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill again.Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, the little girl came in. But this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read, “Thank you for helping me walk.”

My dad would cry every time he told us this story, and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than a doctor. And my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

33．How did the writer’s father help the paralysed little girl?

A．He helped her practise walking.

B．He visited her and took a photo of her.

C．He showed her she could still do things.

D．He painted special pictures for her.

34．According to Paragraph 4, the paralysed girl ________.

A．gradually recovered and walked

B．became a painter in the end

C．was sent home and never seen again

D．brought a picture painted with her mouth

35．In what order did the following events of the writer’s dad take place?

a. He saw the girl run and received a picture that she had done with her hands.

b. He began to face a serious heart condition.

c. He told the story of the girl and cried.

d. He brought paints, brushes and paper to the girl.

e. He decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital.

A．e﹣b﹣d﹣a﹣c B．b﹣e﹣d﹣c﹣a

C．e﹣b﹣c﹣d﹣a D．b﹣e﹣d﹣a﹣c

36．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A．The writer’s father was a great man.

B．Love can sometimes bring great results.

C．Volunteering is a meaningful career.

D．A sick person should forget his disease

    Imagine this. There’s an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力) is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

Here is a famous experiment in the book The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖), if they waited fifteen minutes, they’d be given a second one (and then they could eat both).

So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, he got in touch with the children, who, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who’d shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

Willpower is like a muscle(肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

So, if you do daily “self-control exercises”, such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your “willpower muscle” can get tired. If you have to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat. In that way, you’ll build up your willpower again.

And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!

37．In Paragraphs 2 & 3, the famous experiment explains ________.

A．more kids have strong willpower B．willpower influences people’s lives greatly

C．how people train children’s willpower D．marshmallows can help improve willpower

38．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Health. B．Foot. C．Willpower. D．Strength.

39．The writer probably agrees that ________.

A．all the language learners have strong willpower

B．willpower can’t be improved by doing some daily things

C．young kids don’t need to practise willpower like grown-ups

D．people with strong willpower can achieve their goals more easily

40．According to the passage, people who ________ might have strong willpower.

A．do regular piano practice every day B．give up morning running halfway

C．eat as much junk food as they like D．usually get up late on the cold morning

三、阅读还原5选5

    We’ve heard about several“poor students”in the past year. Cui Qingtao, a student from Yunnan, was working with his parents on a building site when he got an admission letter（录取通知书）41． She is a student from Hebei. She was doing her part-time job in another city when her family got her admission letter from Peking University.

42． For example, they are all strong and optimistic（乐观的）. Li Enhui said in an interview,“ there are no problems that cannot be solved, and many people don’t have my experiences. 43． Such an idea makes many adults feel embarrassed. He refused to accept money that was given by others and decided to make money by himself. This is also the common thing that “poor students”have.

Such personalities（品格）are important for growth. 44． Not everything goes well all the time. A man can go through difficulties only when he is strong and optimistic. In fact, living in poor families doesn’t promise such good personalities, and living happily doesn’t mean optimistic attitudes（态度）45． That’s why they are highly praised. Every one of us should learn from them.

A．Life is full of ups and downs .

B．A girl named Wang Xinyi is another example.

C．And these experiences made me grow and become better.

D．Born in poor families, these students have a lot in common.

E.However, all of them can choose their attitudes towards life.

Recently, researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. This study lasted for 15 years. About one fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found it was n48． for adults to do energetic exercise for at least 150 minutes a week. In fact, the runners were l49． likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease and usually lived three years longer.

To stay healthy, doctors s50． that adults should run for good health and pay no attention to how far or how fast they run. As advertisements for the running shoes say, “Just do it.”

Dear mum and dad,

  How time flies and this term is going to end soon. I have gained a lot of things this term. I had good study habits, so I improved my English. I helped my classmates with their study. We became good friends. Besides I also worked as a volunteer to help people in need.

This winter holiday, I’m going to travel. I plan to go to different places to enjoy delicious food. I think it relaxes me. I also plan to read more books in order to understand Chinese and foreign cultures. In addition, I plan to develop a hobby, such as drawing, playing chess and so on.

 Yours,

Li
