Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings, attitudes (态度), and rights(权利), in a way that doesn’t infringe (侵犯) the rights of others.

Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don’t like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.

Why is assertiveness important?

If you don’t know how to be assertive, you might experience:

Depression—Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life.

Resentment—Anger at others for taking advantage of you.

Frustration —Why did I allow that to happen?

Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It’s a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others！

But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response (积极的回应)，some people might react differently.

How to be effectively (有效地) assertive:

Use “I” statements. Keep the focus on the problem you’re having. “I’d like to be able to tell my stories without interruption (打断).’ instead of “You’re always interrupting my stories!”

Use facts, not opinions (观点). “Did you know that shirt has a hole?” instead of “You’re not going out looking like THAT, are you?”

Express ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. “I get angry when he breaks his promises.” instead of “He makes me angry.”

Make clear and direct requirements. Don’t invite the person to say no. “Will you please?” instead of “Would you mind…?” or “Why don’t you…?”

Keep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don’t try to explain yourself.

54. The writer probably agrees that _______.

A. assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings

B. you should be assertive if you want to get good marks

C. assertiveness is the ability to infringe others’ rights

D. you should consider others’ response before you act assertively

55. The expression “hold your ground” probably means “_______”.

A. insist (坚持) on your point

B. keep your promise

C. reach an agreement

D. keep on fighting

56. Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?

A. Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.

B. Making requirements directly and clearly.

C. Using your opinions instead of facts.

D. Expressing ownership of others’ thoughts.

C

Fiona is a taxi driver in London. She tells us about her work and some of her experiences.

Q: When did you start?

I’ve been a taxi driver for about five years. Before that I was a bus driver in London, and I enjoyed it, but I wanted more freedom so I changed and started driving my taxi.

Q: Have you ever had any famous passengers?

Oh yes. I’ve had film stars, politicians, you know, lots of famous people. About a year ago, a really famous actor got in my taxi. I took him to the airport. We were stuck on the way and it took a long time to get there, so he missed his plane and failed to meet his fans. It wasn’t my fault but when he got out of the taxi, he shouted at me angrily! I said to him, “Next time, take a bus!”

Q: Have passengers ever left anything in your taxi?

Oh yes! People have left all kinds of things — a suitcase, a hat, mobile phones, of course, even a dog once! Years ago, a woman left a pair of shoes on the seat. And one time a passenger left his teeth

here! Not real teeth, of course— false teeth.

And people have asked me to do some strange jobs. Once a doctor stopped me outside a hospital and asked me to take a skeleton to another hospital. Professors usually use skeletons to teach medical

students, you know. And I did. But I asked him to pay first — the skeleton couldn’t pay, after all!

Q:

Good question. I’ve always enjoyed being a taxi driver and I don’t want to change. But of course,

sometimes, it’s not great. I don’t like driving around without a passenger, but it’s better than just waiting at the airport or at a railway station. I think that’s the worst part — waiting.

57. Fiona thinks being a taxi driver is more _______ than being a bus driver.

A. independent

B. exciting

C. comfortable

D. satisfying

58. The famous actor missed his plane because ________.

A. Fiona didn’t drive well

C. there was too much traffic

D. there were too many fans

59. Passengers left the following things EXCEPT ________ on Fiona’s taxi.

A. suitcases

B. mobile phones

C. umbrellas

D. false teeth

60. Which of the following questions best fits blank?

A. What do you think of the future of a taxi driver?

B. What do you think is the worst part of your job?

C. What do you do when there are no passengers?

D. What do you do when you’re waiting for passengers?

D

James Gray started a no-homework policy at Hamilton Elementary School four years ago when he was the head teacher of the public school.

“My attitude (态度) changed a lot after I had my own kids,” said Gray, whose two oldest children still study in Hamilton. He remembered a time when his daughter and wife were arguing(争吵)about piano practice, which made him think of the family fights over homework time. While his daughter wasn’t forced to play the piano, many students are forced to do their homework.

“It made me think a lot about what schools do to families,” he said. “I heard from parents over the years about this big fight that happens at night. It leads to this poor relationship between parents and children. It didn’t seem worth it for what schools are trying to get out of homework,” Gray added.

After researching and finding little evidence(证据) that students get much from homework, Gray

decided to do away with homework at Hamilton in 2014. At first the policy was only for Grades 1 and 2. Then it spread through fourth grade and remains in place at the school, even though Gray left at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.

“Kids can become unhappy with school easily,” Gray said, explaining the family time at night is actually better for young students. “Learning happens all the time at home, whether you’re cooking a meal, playing a game or reading a book,” he said.

“This policy was well-received,” he said. While he was expecting different opinions, he heard none. “Parents would tell me, ‘We played a game last night, and it was so nice to sit down for an hour.’ or ‘My child sat down and read a book on his own.’”

Gray said he heard from parents and educators in other schools in the city and across the country wanting to develop their own no- homework policies.

61. What can be learned about Gray’s kids?

A. They often fight during homework time. B. They all learn to play the piano.

C. They don’t like doing their homework. D. They argue with their parents sometimes.

62. What does Gray think of homework?

A. It is quite necessary.

B. Children need teachers’ help with it.

C. It does students much good.

D. It hurts the parent-child relationship.

63. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. The evidence.

B. The policy.

C. The school.

D. The research.

64. What did Gray expect when he first made the no-homework policy?

A. Some parents would be against it.

B. Students would get out of control.

C. Students would act better in school.

D. Other schools would have the same policy.

65. What is the best title for the text?

A. A School’s Beautiful Future

B. A Head Teacher’s Difficult Years

C. A Successful No-Homework Policy

D. A Poor Kid-Parent Relationship

VIII. 阅读理解。（共15小题，每小题2分，计30分）

阅读A、B、C、D四篇材料，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry.” This phrase has become such a common response（反应）that it has taken on a lot of meanings.

Saying “Sorry” means to apologize（道歉）. This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.

But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man knocks into the woman. Who should say sorry? Naturally, the man should say sorry because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize.

It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy fight. So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other.

Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter, “Sorry, but can I order another drink?” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean exactly what you think.

21. The example in the third paragraph is used to _________.

A. describe a situation that people should avoid

B. explain why people should say sorry to each other

C. describe how “sorry” has another meaning in Britain

D. show how polite British people are

22. The restaurant example shows that “sorry” can be used to _________.

A. apologize B. calm a situation down

C. explain what you’re thinking about D. ask a waiter to bring something

23. What might be a good title for this story?

A. Traditional British manners. B. “I’m sorry” is more than just an apology.

C. How to best catch others’ attention D. Finding a way out of a difficult situation.

B

Every night in Jinan University in Guangzhou, a group of students plays diabolo（空竹）as a crowd watches on in amazement.

Chen Zhelun 25, a Malaysian-Chinese started the diabolo club, which helps to increase the popularity of this traditional Chinese game. He is one of many student： expressing their interest in the country’s cultural heritage（遗产）by starting clubs.

The diabolo, which came from China, is popular among Chinese living in Malaysia “We played diabolo from primary school. I thought I could find someone to play with in China, but only a few students knew about it. So I started a club to develop it,” says Chen.

To Chen’s surprise, the old game has interested a huge crowd—more than 1,000 students have joined the club.

“It keeps your body strong and it’s fun,” says Chen.

But some prefer quieter activities. Every weekend, one classroom in Shenzhen University is always crowded, but it’s unusually silent. The members of Lanting Calligraphy Club are writing Chinese characters（汉字）with traditional brushes.

Fan Dongling, 21, a student in Shenzhen University, says it’s a shame that young people no longer enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters.

Although her club is quiet, Fan says it keeps members healthy, mentally（精神上）and physically. “Some students think traditional things are outdated. They like celebrating Western festivals like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but they seldom pay attention to traditional ones,” says Kong Yanquan, 21, a student in Guangxi University.

As head of the traditional Chinese local operas club, Kong plans to put something modern into traditional culture to get students to join his club.

“I think it’s everyone’s duty to save and develop China’s traditional culture among young people, he says.

24. The passage is organized by giving three _________.

A. examples B. tasks C. lessons D. speeches

25. It can be learned from the passage that Fan Dongling _________.

A. comes from Malaysia B. is good at local operas

C. loves quiet activities D. is interested in sports

26. Kong Yanquan advises young people to _________.

A. practice writing Chinese characters B. celebrate Western festivals

C. pay attention to traditional culture D. make friends with the elders

C

Dear Ms. Roberts,

I am writing to let you know that I ran over your dog on Friday afternoon.

The accident happened at the crossing of Ocean Drive and Bridge Street, directly in front of the RSL Club.

You must allow me to pay for his medical care. I would be thankful if you could make a list of all costs resulting from this accident. I plan to visit and offer my apologies（歉意）in person.

Again, I truly regret the harm caused by this accident and send my best wishes to little Snowy.

During the 1980s, artist Wilder created a song in about 30 minutes. That song, Break My Stride, has been played in films and TV shows over the years and turned him into a one-hit wonder.

Now, nearly forty years later, the song is being listened to by people who weren’t even born when it was created, thanks to its popularity on the social media（社交媒体）TikTok.

On TikTok, users usually share very short, usually 15-second, videos of themselves dancing, singing or doing something funny, most often set to music. Break My Stride became popular on TikTok earlier this year and has been used in over 800,000 videos. School students have posted videos of themselves dancing to the song. The pop song has the magic to make people feel like dancing. In one TikTok video that was liked 3.5 million times, the creator took a video of his mom sleeping and then photoshopped her into different backgrounds related to the words of the song, such as traveling across the sea to China in the row boat.

“Now with the coming of TikTok, it’s like having a hit record all over again with a whole new generation（一代人）,” Wilder, 67, told CNN. Break My Stride recently has been on Apple Music’s Top 100 songs in over 20 countries.

Break My Stride isn’t alone. A number of other artists have seen their songs become popular on TikTok. The success of Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road depends heavily on its popularity on TikTok, where the song has been used in 7.5 million videos. The song finished 2019 in the UK as “Song of the Year”.

The success of these songs, both old and new, highlights the influence that social media have on arts and culture. TikTok is changing how musicians create and publicize their work.

Several cars waited at the top of a slope （斜坡）. As the whistle （口哨）blew, the cars sped down the slope. Spectators （现众）cheered and clapped. But this was not a usual car race. The cars were made out of food.

Students at Ore field Middle School in Pennsylvania, US. held the race early last month. They spent several weeks making their cars. The race was part of the school's STEMM class. STEMM stands for science, technology, engineering, math and medicine.

The rules of the race were strict. The only non-food things allowed were toothpicks and popsicle sticks （冰棍棒）. Some students used round bread or cookies for wheels. Some used a steak （牛排）roll for the body.

For some students, the most difficult part was not making the car, but trying not to eat the delicious food. "If you ate any of it, you got out. " James Cipolla said.

Cipolla worked with three other students on their car. They put a marshmallow（棉花糖） at the bottom of their car to help it move easily. But it melted during the race and didn't make it to the finals.

"We still had fun anyway," said a 14-year-old girl. "We learned about engineering and the basic parts of a car. "

49. What made the race special?

A. The cars were made out of food.   B. Lots of people came to watch.

C. The cars flew down a slope.    D. The race was part of STEMM class.

50. What was the hardest part for some students according to Paragraph 4?

A. The students had to use food to make their cars.

B. The only non-food things allowed were toothpicks and popsicle sticks.

C The students couldn't eat the food they used to make their cars.

D. The marshmallows they used melted during the race.

51. What is the story mainly about?

A. What STEMM stands for.    B. A creative car race.

C. What cars are made out of.    D. How students felt about the race.

"What's the name of our neighbour? 1 can't remember right now." Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think older people's memories become bad because their brains get weak, but a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a different idea.

"The human brain works slower in old age," said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, "but only because they have stored more information over time."

The findings are based on a series of computer simulations（模拟）of learning and memory. Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer "reads" only so much, its performance on cognitive（认知）tests is similar to that of a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might have over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.

Often it was slower because increased "experience" had caused the computer's database（数据库）to grow, giving it more data to process-which takes time. This is similar to old people. Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?

The basic idea is that "The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word." Benedict Carey, a science reporter, wrote in an article about the study.

52. Why does the writer mention the poor memory of elderly people in Paragraph 1?

A. To express his or her care for the elderly.

B To draw attention to elderly people.

C. To describe how elderly people live.

D. To introduce a point for discussion.

53. Why do elderly people have poor memories?

A. Their brains get weak.      B. Their hearing gets damaged.

C. Their brains store too much information.  D. Their eyesight gets weak.

54. When computers learn too many "experiences",________________________.

A. they need more time to process the data   B. their processing capacity declines

C. they learn to process the data faster   D. their databases get to full

55. The story is written mainly to ___________________.

A. show how computers process data

B. give some tips on how to improve your memory

C. find ways to help old people remember things more easily

D. explain why old people have poor memories

D

The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education.

Like many Chinese students, her parents had big dreams for her. She felt the weight of her parents' sacrifices （牺牲）on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud. Persevering was not easy, though. Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 am. and study late into the night. "But whenever I got tired or discouraged, I would remember something my mother always told me. She said, “A good education is something that no one can take away from you. ”

Mrs. Obama also encouraged Chinese students to study abroad to broaden their horizons （开阔眼界）in her speech at Peking University. "As the Chinese saying goes: "It is better to travel 10,000 miles than lo read 10. 000 books. " she said. It's not enough to get good grades in school. It's also important to have real experience with languages, cultures and societies different from your own, she noted. Studying overseas could also benefit （有益于）future international relations. It can help young people from different countries work together to deal with shared problems such as climate change, Mrs. Obama said.
