Loving Life in Moosonee
Born in Moose Factory Island, located about 12 miles inland from the James Bay coastline in northern Ontario, I spent my early childhood years in nearby Moose River Crossing. Our family returned to Moose Factory later, so my siblings and I could continue our education, 21． the local school had been closed down.
Moose River Crossing is situated along the only railroad track in Canada that reaches all the way up to the northern community of Moosonee, Ont., which later22． (become) — and still is — my true hometown.

Even after having lived in Moosonee for 26 years, I had never experienced and learned so much on the land and the mighty Moose River, 27． the sunsets are breathtakingly beautiful, as I did in the relatively short time I’ve known my husband.
I am so thankful and proud 28． (give) the opportunity to lead this kind of lifestyle, which someday will be passed on to my grandchildren.
Today, I continue to trace my roots and try to live my life according to them. I have also been back to Moose River Crossing after being away for many years. My older sister and only brother, both hunters, along with a few nephews and nieces, continue to carry on the traditions of our ancestors in Moose River Crossing.
Every year, our family gathers for a spring hunt, mainly geese and ducks. In summertime, we go fishing and, in the fall, we head out hunting. In addition to 29． (add) to our foods for the year, these excursions are 30． our family stories and recollections are shared the most.

Making a Mistake Can Put Your Brain on ‘Pause’
Mistakes can be learning opportunities, but the brain needs time for lessons to sink in.
When facing fast decisions, even the 31． distraction of noting an error can decrease accuracy on the next choice, researchers report in the March 15 Journal of Neuroscience.
“We have a brain region that monitors and says ‘you messed up’ so that we can correct our behavior,” says psychologist George Buzzell, now at the University of Maryland in College Park. But sometimes, that monitoring system can backfire, 32． us from the task at hand and causing us to make another error.
“There does seem to be a little bit of time for people, after mistakes, where you’re sort of 33．,” says Jason Moser, a psychologist at Michigan State University, who wasn’t part of the study.
To test people’s 34． to making mistakes, Buzzell and colleagues at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., monitored 23 participants’ brain activity while they worked through a challenging task. Concentric（同心的）circles 35． briefly on a screen, and participants had to respond with one hand if the two circles were the same color and the other hand if the circles were slightly different shades.
After making a mistake, participants generally answered the next question correctly if they had a second or so to recover. But when the next challenge came very quickly after an error, as little as 0.2 seconds, accuracy 36． by about 10 percent. Electrical activity recorded from the 37． cortex（大脑皮层）showed that participants paid less attention to the next experiment if they had just made a mistake than if they had responded 38．.
The cognitive demand of noting and 39． the error seems to divert attention that would otherwise be devoted to the task, Buzzell says.
In real life, people usually have time — even if just a few seconds — to reflect on a mistake before having to make another decision. But in some activities such as driving a car or playing a musical instrument, people must rebound from errors quickly while continuing to correctly carry out the rest of the task. Those actions might push the 40． of error processing.

Robots’ Intelligence
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly complicated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat. This danger can be 41 , according to computer science professor Stuart Russell if we figure out how to turn human 42 into a programmable code.
Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks, it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language. 43 , if a robot does chores around the house, you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the 44 children. “You would want that robot 45 with a good set of values,” said Russell.
Some robots are already programmed with basic human values. For example, mobile robots have been programmed to keep a 46 distance from humans. Obviously there are cultural differences, but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space, you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a 47 brought-up person would do.
It will be possible to 48 more complicated moral machines, if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules. Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior. They are dangerous only if programmers are 49 .
The biggest 50 with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to do sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will 51 some kind of taboo(禁忌). One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with a(n) 52 situation.
If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave, it has the opportunity to stop, send out beeps, and ask for 53 from a human. If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision, we go and ask somebody else.
The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in 54 , and how to create a set of ethical(伦理的)rules. But if we 55 an answer, robots could be good for humanity.
41．A．avoided B．revised C．increased D．rejected
42．A．personalities B．behaviors C．intentions D．values
43．A．Instead B．For example C．After all D．As a result
44．A．special B．demanding C．bright D．starving
45．A．preloaded B．downloaded C．uploaded D．upgraded

七、阅读理解
Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop,because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule -no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
56．Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with____________.
A．the course materials B．the author’s class regulations
C．discussion topics D．others’ misuse of technology
57．Which of the following statements is true?
A．The author made the rule in that he was against technology.
B．The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
C．The author’s history class received low assessment.
D．The students think highly of the author’s history class.
58．According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ___________.
A．allow students to get on well with each other
B．improve teaching and offer more help
C．help students to better understand complex themes
D．prohibit students being involved in class
59．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The author will carry on the success in the future.
B．Some students will be punished according to the rule.
C．More and more students will be absent in history class.
D．The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.

There is plenty of complaints about how social media-texting in particular — may be harming children’s social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging (IM’ing) and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those who are introverted (内向的).
British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of the participants were “regular” or “extensive” IM’ers. In the U. S., two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.
The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IM'ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distress — not enough to completely eliminate it, but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.
“Our findings suggest that IM'ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provide emotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being,” the authors write, noting that prior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face, implying a strengthening of their bond.
Why would digital communication do better than human contact? The reasons are complex, but may have something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and other emotions via IM without revealing emotional elements like tears that some may consider as embarrassing or sources of discomfort. Studies also show that the anonymity (匿名) of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may cause people to feel more comfortable in sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings. Prior research has shown that expressive writing itself can “vent” emotions and provide a sense of relief — and doing so, knowing that your words are reaching a sympathetic friend, may provide even more comfort and potentially be therapeutic. Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did. Susan Cain, author of Quiet wrote recently for TIME: Introverts are often brimming over with thoughts and care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues. But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass from socializing or talking on the phone. This is what the Internet offers: the chance to connect—but in measured doses and from behind a screen.
63．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Teens are more likely to send instant messages when feeling distressed.
B．Instant messaging can help completely remove teens’ negative emotions.
C．Chat via instant messaging services makes participants feel good or calm.
D．Constant instant messaging can help teens control their negative emotions.
64．The underlined word “vent” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.
A．control B．maintain
C．release D．conceal
65．What does the digital communication enable users to do?
A．Find more sympathetic friends.
B．Share and discuss more information.
C．Produce more expressive writings.
D．Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.
66．What can be concluded from the new study by British researchers?
A．Instant messaging will prevent children’s social and intellectual development.
B．Introverted teens may benefit from constant instant messaging.
C．Teens feeling bad often feel closer to real-life friends than to the net friends.
D．American teens aged 14 to 18 are extensive instant messaging users.

八、六选四
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
An 18-year-girl Kayla Perkins explains what is in her bedroom, “I throw something on the floor and I know right where it is.” However, her parents, Steve and Deborah Perkins, of Mckinney, Texas, haven’t caught on. Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess.
Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill. 67． Dirty clothes pile up; dirty dishes get lost in the mess and smell bad; homework is lost; and valuable things are ruined.
Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they don’t. 68．
Mrs. Perkins says they picked up all the clothes on Kayla’s floor and hid them. They cleaned everything up. When Kayla came back to a bare bedroom, there was screaming and shouting, “How can I live without my clothes?” Mrs. Perkins asked Kayla to earn her clothes back by doing housework. These days, she keeps her room clean.
69．For example, since Jessica, the 14-year-old daughter wasn’t bothered by the dirty clothes all over her floor, the whole family started using her room as a place to store dirty clothes. Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and cleaned up her room a few days later, even she was laughing.
70．Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you would want to be treated by your boss at work—with respect and high expectations.
A.There are many ways for parents to deal with the problems.
B.The mess can disturb the whole household.
C.Parents are all angry at it.
D.Humor can help, too.
E.Parenting experts also recommend that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit.
F.What doesn’t work, parenting experts say, is constant lectures, verbal threats or getting very angry.


九、概要写作
71．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.
Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is. So in that way poetry calms our anxiety.
There are many different kinds of poems. They are not all calming. Some poems make me anxious, angry, scared, and sad, which is why I value them. As a reader, I want a full meal, not just dessert. I want the sweet and the bitter. Often, I read poetry when I’m already relaxed. In fact, I read more when I'm not stressed out.
Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry, as far as I can tell. Metrical poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually this is done by setting up a rhythm and then breaking it or almost breaking it, and then returning to it again. This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries.
Poetry plays with language and often puts words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way that food can be, when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do.
Many poems are dense. Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines. This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over, always finding new things in it.
And, of course, there’s the subject matter. It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay. Not all poems interest me in this way, but then not all stories and essays do, either.

Many people think New York is a noisy city. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi, you hear the voice of a well-known opera singer, sports announcer or Broadway actress giving instructions. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message: "Cats have nine lives, but you have only one, so fasten your seat belt." Other voices say things such as "Don't forget to collect all your belongings." People often leave handbags, umbrellas in taxis.
There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 taxis in New York, and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident, people who don't wear seat belts may easily get hurt. Every year about 11,000 people are injured in this way.
Many people are annoyed by the voices. Taxi drivers in particular dislike the message. "I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy," says Tom. "I am a 45-year-old taxi driver. But if I don't play the messages, I get fined $100." A lot of passengers complain too. They think it is too noisy.

Thank you all for coming today to hear about the new recycling program on campus. Right now all recycling is voluntary, but in the near future, it will most likely be compulsory. The recycling we planned is a really 3-part program: sorting, collecting and delivering. The first part, sorting, is the hardest to get people to do. Most people don't like to take the time to separate their rubbish. This is usually where most recycling programs fail. However we are determined to make ours work. Instead of seeing the usual brown rubbish cans all over the campus, from now on you will see four different colors of rubbish cans. Pink rubbish cans are for paper; green cans are for glass; purple ones are for metal and white ones are for all other wastes. Just remember, pink, paper; green, glass; purple, metal and white, waste. After the rubbish is sorted, it needs to be collected and then delivered to the correct recycling facilities. That's where all of you come in. Since this program is still a volunteer program, we are asking students to give a little of their time to the project, probably no more than 6 hours per person each week. And again your job will be to collect the sorted rubbish and take it to the different centers for each type of rubbish. If you are willing to help us with the program by giving 6 hours a week, please write your names and phone numbers on this note pad.

56．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule -no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.”可知，因为我想让学生们在课堂上深入地学习材料，交流思想，所以我制定了一个规定——课堂上不准携带笔记本电脑、平板、手机等科技产品，当学生们在上课前被告知我的规定时，他们中的一些人并不高兴，由此可知，一些学生对作者的课堂规定不高兴，故B项正确。
57．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.”可知，多年来，我一直用这种方式教我的历史课，评估结果反映了学生对我所创造的环境的满意度，学生们意识到，随着交流的深入和挑战的深化，他们的学习就会达到这样一个水平，能帮助他们获得超出课堂以外的知识，由此判断出，学生们对作者的历史课评价很高，故D项正确。
58．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas.

【详解】
1 要点摘录
①Why do we read poetry? First obvious one: because we enjoy it. The only other reason is for academic purposes, and that's not why this is here.
②Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost, and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is.
③Metrical poems are about setting up rules and then bending them. Usually this is done by setting up a rhythm and then breaking it or almost breaking it, and then returning to it again.
④Poetry plays with language and often puts words together in surprising ways, which is thrilling the way that food can be.
⑤And, of course, there’s the subject matter.
2.缜密构思 将第1个要点进行总说，将第2、3、4、5要点进行整合。
3.遣词造句
