A
You know that classics like Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird started as novels. But you probably didn't know that these other famous movies also came from books.
Hidden Figures
This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s. It was actually based on a 2016 nonfiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
Forrest Gump
The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks. Although the movie's critical and box-office success gave the book a huge boost, it's the film that made its mark on pop culture history.
The Girl on the Train
Paula Hawkin's psychological thriller, about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window, was a huge success. But unlike the fast-paced, can't-be-put-down quality of the novel, the movie was boring.
Field of Dreams
It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie: Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield, and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams, childhood heroes, and healing the pain of the past. The 1989 movie adherest W. P. Kinsella's 1982 original, Shoeless Joe, but cuts out some extra characters.
1. Which is the best choice for a person who loves math
A. Hidden Figures. B. Forrest Gump.
C. The Girl on the Train. D. Field of Dreams.
2. Who has won the Academy Award for Best Actor according to the text

C. It shows all the figures in Shoeless Joe. D. It was released in 1982 for the first time.
【答案】1. A 2. A 3. B

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Forrest Gump中“The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks. (这部1994年根据温斯顿·格鲁姆的小说改编的电影获得了六项奥斯卡奖，包括最佳影片和影星汤姆·汉克斯的最佳男演员奖。)”可知，Tom Hanks赢得了奥斯卡最佳男主角。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie: Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield, and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams, childhood heroes, and healing the pain of the past.( 这部电影的情节很难描述: Ray Kinsella听到一个声音告诉他要在爱荷华州的玉米田里建造一个棒球场，接下来发生的事情探讨了失落的梦想、童年英雄和治愈过去痛苦的主题。)可知，电影 Field of Dreams探讨了失落的梦想、童年英雄和治愈过去痛苦的主题，由此可知，这部电影有好几个主题。故选B。

Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive! It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
8. What does the underlined word"aversion"in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Interest B. Responsibility.
C. Dislike D. Misunderstanding.
9. What first made the author look forward to math class
A. Mr. A’s attitude. B. He interest in math.
C Her friends’ encouragement. D. The top achievers in her class.
10. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A
A. It was straight. B. It was awkward.
C. It was challenging. D. It was impressive.
11. How did the author change in math
A. She made slow progress.
B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight-A math student.
D. She became comfortable with difficult math questions.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者从前数学学得不好，上大学后作者在老师的帮助下数学成绩得到了提高。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student”（在高中，课程变得越来越难，我离数学老师的理想学生甚至更远了）可知，作者数学学得不好，因此就讨厌数学，因此aversion的意思是“不喜欢”，故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。第三段说“Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student”（A先生每天都以同样的微笑迎接我们。他鼓励每一个学生，从成绩最好的学生到“我不能”的学生），第四段第一句话说“I found myself looking forward to math class”（我发现自己很期待数学课）可知，A老师的态度首先让作者对数学课充满了期待，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A”（和a先生一起吃午饭聊天变得很“酷”）可知，作者认为作者与A先生共进午餐时的谈话给人留下了深刻印象，故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb”（虽然我的故事不是一个一夜成名的故事，我也没有成为数学尖子生，但我的努力确实开始有了回报，我的成绩开始慢慢攀升）可知，她在数学方面的变化是她取得了缓慢的进步，故选A。
D
When it comes to higher education in the United States, one of the biggest issues of discussion and concern in recent years has been the cost. Data from the U.S. Department of Education suggests the average cost of college doubled between 1989 and 2016.
James Kvaal is the director of The Institute for College Access and Success. He told VOA that one of the main reasons for the cost increase is reduced government support for colleges and universities. This, in turn, has led schools to raise their prices.
Earlier this year, the Center for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State University published a report on state spending on higher education. The report found a 5% overall increase in proposed spending throughout the country. But Kvaal argues this is still nowhere near the level it was 30 years ago or where it needs to be now. He notes that a lot of students still depend on loans to help pay for their education. To date, about 10% of student borrowers are in default. In other words, they are failing to make the necessary payments toward their debts.
Last November, Georgetown University published a study on return on investment in American higher education. Students who attended private colleges and universities made an average of about $73,000 more over 40 years than those who attended public schools. Although the immediate costs to attend a private U.S. university might be higher, the increased cost might be worth it, notes Professor Martin, associate director of the Georgetown Center.
One reason these schools have a better return on investment is their reputation. The selectiveness that makes these schools so well-known and well respected, however, creates its own form of inequality. These colleges pay off well if you can afford to go there and if you can get in. But the fact is, the vast majority of people can't do either: They can't afford it.
12. Why did the American universities increase their fees
A. They followed the rules of the market.
B. They required more pay for teachers.
C. They improved their quality of higher education.
D. They received less support from the government.
13. What is the possible result of the higher cost of education
A. More uneducated people. B. More unpaid debts of students.
C. A larger gap between universities. D. An effect on the government's reputation.
14. What is Professor Martin’s attitude toward the higher costs of private colleges
A Positive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
15. Where does this text probably come from
A. A speech. B. A guidebook.
C. A business magazine. D. An education report.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国高等教育学费持续增长带来的问题，并不是所有人都能承担得起这么高的学费。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“He told VOA that one of the main reasons for the cost increase is reduced government support for colleges and universities. This, in turn, has led schools to raise their prices. (他对美国之音表示，费用增加的主要原因之一是政府减少了对高校的支持。这反过来又导致学校提高了学费。)”可知，美国大学之所以要提高学费是因为他们从政府那里得到的支持减少了。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“He notes that a lot of students still depend on loans to help pay for their education. To date, about 10% of student borrowers are in default. In other words, they are failing to make the necessary payments toward their debts. (他指出，许多学生仍然依靠贷款来支付他们的教育费用。到目前为止，大约10%的学生借款人违约。换句话说，他们没有支付必要的债务。)”可以推知，教育费用增加会导致更多的学生未能偿还债务。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Although the immediate costs to attend a private U.S. university might be higher, the increased cost might be worth it, notes Professor Martin, associate director of the Georgetown Center. (乔治敦中心副主任Martin教授指出，尽管就读美国私立大学的直接费用可能更高，但增加的费用可能是值得的。)”可以推知，Martin教授对私立大学学费上涨持肯定态度。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When it comes to higher education in the United States, one of the biggest issues of discussion and concern in recent years has been the cost. Data from the U.S. Department of Education suggests the average cost of college doubled between 1989 and 2016. (说到美国的高等教育，近年来讨论和关注的最大问题之一就是费用。美国教育部的数据显示，1989年至2016年期间，大学的平均费用翻了一番。)”可知，本文主要介绍了高等教育学费提高带来的问题，故而推知，本文来源于一份教育报告。故选D项。

Hidden Figures
This film told the story of real-life Katherine Johnson and other female African-American mathematicians who helped drive the United States into space in the 1960s. It was actually based on a 2016 nonfiction book and the movie did boost sales of the book.
Forrest Gump
The 1994 movie which was based on the book by Winston Groom won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor for the star Tom Hanks. Although the movie's critical and box-office success gave the book a huge boost, it's the film that made its mark on pop culture history.
The Girl on the Train
Paula Hawkin's psychological thriller, about a woman on a train who thinks she sees something strange out of the window, was a huge success. But unlike the fast-paced, can't-be-put-down quality of the novel, the movie was boring.
Field of Dreams
It’s hard to describe the plot of this movie: Ray Kinsella hears a voice telling him to build a baseball field in his Iowa cornfield, and what happens next explores the themes of lost dreams, childhood heroes, and healing the pain of the past. The 1989 movie adherest W. P. Kinsella's 1982 original, Shoeless Joe, but cuts out some extra characters.

Girls can easily get sad. If your friend is feeling blue and calls you, what will you do Here are some tips on how you can make her smile again.
Listen to her. When people feel sad, they often have the feeling of needing to be heard. So, listen carefully to what she is saying and do nothing else. Your friend will surely thank you for being the shoulder she can cry on.
Once you are done with listening, you can offer some advice or remain silent and let her feel everything and let it all out by crying. As a friend, you might think you should give her some advice. But if you have no idea about what to say, just remain silent and be there for her.
In order to be able to help your friend in need, don't be sad yourself. How can you help your friend when you are also feeling down.
A hug can make a difference in the world. It makes you feel warm and special. A hug makes you feel safe. So give your friend a hug when she needs it the most.
Spend more time with your friend who wants to be happy. Do things together like washing dishes, cleaning, or going out for fun. The more time you spend together, the stronger your friendship will become.
Sometimes, it is much better that you avoid a crying friend in your life. But by doing so, you are also keeping your friend at a distance and will make her wonder if you are her true friend. If you are there when she needs you, your friendship will be much stronger.

Math had never been something I was good at since middle school. Classes became harder in high school, and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student. So at the start of my freshman year, I had an aversion to math. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well, but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well. “I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related (有关的) to math.
However, I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr. A’s class.
Mr. A always greeted (迎接) us with open arms as he said, “Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive! It was clear that Mr. A had a true passion (热情) not only for math but for teaching. If Mr. A ever experienced bad days in life, he never showed it. Mr. A greeted us with that same smile every day. He encouraged each student, from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class, although I still hated the subject itself. Being in Mr. A’s presence made me feel good, as if I had the chance to succeed. As the year progressed, I spent increasingly more time on my homework, and I met with Mr. A weekly. My classmates began to do the same, and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr. A. We didn’t know it at the time, but he was changing our attitudes (态度).
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student, my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb. There were hard times, of course. Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down, but Mr. A kept reminding (提醒) me, “Kate, smile! It’s a great day to be alive!”
8. What does the underlined word"aversion"in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Interest B. Responsibility.
C. Dislike D. Misunderstanding.
9. What first made the author look forward to math class
A. Mr. A’s attitude. B. He interest in math.
C. Her friends’ encouragement. D. The top achievers in her class.
10. How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr. A
A. It was straight. B. It was awkward.
C. It was challenging. D. It was impressive.
11. How did the author change in math
A. She made slow progress.
B. She fell in love with math.
C. She became a straight-A math student.
D. She became comfortable with difficult math questions.
D
When it comes to higher education in the United States, one of the biggest issues of discussion and concern in recent years has been the cost. Data from the U.S. Department of Education suggests the average cost of college doubled between 1989 and 2016.
James Kvaal is the director of The Institute for College Access and Success. He told VOA that one of the main reasons for the cost increase is reduced government support for colleges and universities. This, in turn, has led schools to raise their prices.
Earlier this year, the Center for the Study of Education Policy at Illinois State University published a report on state spending on higher education. The report found a 5% overall increase in proposed spending throughout the country. But Kvaal argues this is still nowhere near the level it was 30 years ago or where it needs to be now. He notes that a lot of students still depend on loans to help pay for their education. To date, about 10% of student borrowers are in default. In other words, they are failing to make the necessary payments toward their debts.
Last November, Georgetown University published a study on return on investment in American higher education. Students who attended private colleges and universities made an average of about $73,000 more over 40 years than those who attended public schools. Although the immediate costs to attend a private U.S. university might be higher, the increased cost might be worth it, notes Professor Martin, associate director of the Georgetown Center.
One reason these schools have a better return on investment is their reputation. The selectiveness that makes these schools so well-known and well respected, however, creates its own form of inequality. These colleges pay off well if you can afford to go there and if you can get in. But the fact is, the vast majority of people can't do either: They can't afford it.
12. Why did the American universities increase their fees
A. They followed the rules of the market.
B. They required more pay for teachers.
C. They improved their quality of higher education.
