Cassandra Warren, a babysitter, was in a rush and feeling a little overcome with work and planning her 200 person wedding. As she was extending invitations for her wedding in the mail one day last year, she hurriedly addressed one to her aunt and uncle in Oregon.
A week later, the invitation came back, with a handwritten note on the return envelope: “I wish I knew you. Congratulations! I've been married for 40 years—it gets better with age.” A $20 bill was inside.
Cassandra was at a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day. In fact, she nearly broke down，telling her husband to be, Jesse Jones, about her depression just as she opened the misdirected envelope. And the magic envelope wasn' t finished with its surprises. Cassandra looked closer and saw that on the envelope were “Live long and prosper”，a nod to the space based film Star Trek(《星际迷航》)．
Cassandra and Jesse had no idea who the anonymous note writer was. But they figured the Star Trek reference was because the person noticed the “fandom” corner of their invitation, which had both a Star Wars light saber (光剑) and a Harry Potter wand (魔杖)．“She assumed we'd understand her message，” Cassandra said. “Which we did.”
The following night Cassandra and Jesse went out to dinner with a friend who was going overseas with the military. They happily put the $ 20 toward their bill. Then Cassandra stopped by a store and bought another card—a thank you card. She wrote her aunt and uncle's incorrect address on the envelope again to “Kind Stranger”. Inside, she wrote, “Thank you for the note and taking the time to send it. Not many people would have done that. It was a big blessing after the day I was having. I am thankful for people like you still being in the world.”

Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said，“Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention，” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率) ，” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software to block their employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online，” side Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.
28．What does the University of Melbourne study mainly show
A．People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B．Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C．The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D．Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
29．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities
A．Watching videos. B．Reading online news.
C．Reading online novels. D．Playing online games.
30The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”．
A．stop B．organize
C．protect D．separate
31．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
B．Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
C．Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D．People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
D
Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U. S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.
It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
“Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite，” Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. “What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's actually colour, and it's actually digital.”
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same，” says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music，” says Moran. “For me, it's the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion (情感) lie Are we, as humans, gaining any insight on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context，” says Moran，“so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”
32．Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day
A．To remember the birth of jazz. B．To protect cultural diversity.
C．To encourage people to study music. D．To recognize the value of jazz.
33．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Jazz becoming more accessible. B．The production of jazz growing faster.
C．Jazz being less popular with the young. D．The jazz audience becoming larger.
34．What can we infer about Moran's opinion on jazz
A．It will disappear gradually. B．It remains black and white.
C．It should keep up with the times. D．It changes every 50 years.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Exploring the Future of Jazz B．The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C．The Story of a Jazz Musician D．Celebrating the Jazz Day

A Simple Thank
I have been in the teaching profession more than thirty years, and one of the best teachers I have ever known was Mr. Rowe. I was lucky enough to co teach fourth grade with him.
Mr. Rowe had infinite patience and understanding and I learned so much from him. He could perform miracles, like the one he performed with Steven, one of the unhappiest kids I ever saw. Steven couldn't stand school. He didn't like being picked last for kickball. He didn't like the kids who raised their hands and knew all the answers, and most importantly, he didn't like himself.
The first day he walked into Mr. Rowe's classroom, he ignored the other students, looking angry and annoyed, and slid into his chair, knocking a couple of textbooks onto the floor.
Mr. Rowe walked over to him and touched Steven's shoulder, but Steven pulled away. Nevertheless, Mr. Rowe welcomed him: “Hi, Steven. I'm happy you are in my class. We are going to have a great year.” Steven looked around the room as if Mr. Rowe must be mistaken. No teacher in his right mind would want Steven to be part of his classroom.
So, while Mr. Rowe seemed cheerful and relaxed that day of school, it seemed like Steven was angry and confused.
That day after classes, Mr. Rowe chose Steven to pitch the kickball at recess. “Hey, Steven，” Mr. Rowe commented, “You are good at pitching. Let me show you my secret trick.”Mr. Rowe taught Steven one of the tricks that not a single kid could perform. Steven learned fast and did quite well! Everyone cheered for him!
After the kickball, Steven sat as close to Mr. Rowe in class as he could. When a question was asked, Steven lit up; he knew the answer! He raised his hands. When he answered the question, his voice shook. However, he got the answer right! He said, with Mr. Rowe, his days of the fourth grade promised wonderful.
That is not to say that every day went smoothly, but it was evident that Steven grew to love Mr. Rowe more and more with each passing day.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

第一节
A
【语篇解读】　本文是应用文，介绍了美国马萨诸塞州的一所私立高中 Phillips Academy。
21．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段的．..best prepares the students in grades 9～12 for college可知，本文的写作对象是想上大学的学生。
22．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据文章Application部分的TOEFL or IELTS for all applicants for whom English is not the native language...可知，中国学生的母语不是英语，所以应该参加托福或雅思考试。
23．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。根据Students部分的The total number of students; 1,150以及Teachers部分的Student—teacher rate；5?1可知，Phillips Academy有230名教师。
B
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Cassandra寄错了婚礼邀请信却意外地收到了回复和祝福。
24．答案与解析：D　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Cassandra因为心情很糟而寄错了婚礼邀请信，却意外地收到了回复和祝福，所以文章标题一定要体现出“寄错的”和“婚礼邀请信”，因此D项作标题最能概括出文章内容。
25．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第三段首句Cassandra was at a professional crossroads and had been having a tough day.可知，Cassandra正处于职业生涯的十字路口，这一天过得很艰难，由此可知，Cassandra寄错婚礼邀请信是因为心情很糟。
26．答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。上文说Cassandra因为心情很糟而寄错了婚礼邀请信，对方并不认识她，回信自然是没有署名，再结合最后一段的“Kind Stranger”可知，这封回信是匿名的，由此可知画线词词义为“匿名的”。
27．答案与解析：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第四句She wrote her aunt and uncle's incorrect address on the envelope again to “Kind Stranger”．可知，Cassandra又把姨妈和姨父的错误地址写在信封上给那个好心的陌生人寄去，由此可知，第二封信是故意写错地址的。
C
【语篇解读】　一项研究表明，员工上班时间适度上网娱乐可以提高生产效率。
28．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知在上班时间适度上网娱乐可以提高生产效率。
29．答案与解析：C　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知C项未提到。
30．答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。文章讲到员工上班期间上网娱乐一下，有助于他们恢复注意力和提高生产效率。还提到有些公司花钱来阻止其员工在网上看录像、使用社交网络、网购等，但这并不是一个好主意。block“阻止”。
31．答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，如果一个人在上班期间花费太多时间上网的话，他的工作效率就会降低。
D
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了国际爵士乐日的设立以及爵士乐现在面临的问题，探讨了爵士乐的未来。
32．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying voice across cultures.”可知，设立国际爵士乐日是为了提高人们对爵士乐的认识，故选D项“认可爵士乐的价值”。
33．答案与解析：C　代词指代题。第二段提到在美国爵士乐的听众数量正在减少，爵士乐未能受到年轻一代的欢迎，第三段首句提到Jason Moran的工作就是要帮助改变这一现象，由此可知that指代“爵士乐不受年轻人欢迎”这一现象，故选C项。
34．答案与解析：C　推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段的“The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same...”可知，Jason Moran指出，今天的爵士乐不能再以1908年或1958年那种方式呈现了。它必须改变，要不断地前进。这就暗示出爵士乐应该跟上时代的步伐。
35．答案与解析：A　标题归纳题。文章介绍了国际爵士乐日的设立，讨论了爵士乐现在面临的问题，即未受到年轻一代的关注，且其娱乐方面的属性已经丢失，故A项“探索爵士乐的未来”作为标题最合适。
第二节
【语篇解读】　提及技术，成年人将无法跟上他们的孩子。本文论述的是数字世界里的青少年大脑。
36．答案与解析：B　根据上文“but it took only 20 years for the phone to reach the same number, and 13 years for the television. In contrast, it took Facebook 3.6 years.”由此可知，B项(Twitter only needed 88 days.推特只需要88天。)与之匹配。
37．答案与解析：F　根据上句：他们的大脑似乎有非凡的能力去适应周围的世界。以及下文的“enabling teenagers to keep up with the increasing pace of digital technology”可知，此处说的是青少年的大脑可以适应新技术。故答案为F。
38．答案与解析：G　根据上句：在美国，青少年平均每天花8.5小时在电脑、手机和其他设备上学习、互动和玩耍。G项指出，如果你把所有的多任务处理都包括在内，这就增加到11.5小时，承接上句。
39．答案与解析：D　根据下文：视频网站表示，全世界的青少年都在观看同样的片段，并因为同一个笑话而哈哈大笑，这表明他们比过去的青少年更具有全球意识。可知，数字趋势的增长是有优势的。故选D。
40．答案与解析：A　根据下句：到30岁时，我们的大脑将会变得僵化，让我们更难适应和应对新技术。可知此空的意思是：适应新技术也不是无限制的，有一个截止。此空位于句首，和上文内容是一个转折关系。故选A。
第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】　本文主要讲的是研究表明，控制饮食有助于保持良好的记忆力。
41．答案与解析：C　根据常识及上下文联系可知，人老了就开始忘事情。
42．答案与解析：B　他们年纪越大，忘记的事情就越多。
43．答案与解析：A　此处是举的例子，“忘记了”即“想不起来”。
44．答案与解析：D　“忘记了一些事情”相当于说“失去了一些记忆”。
45．答案与解析：B　根据第三段可知，研究者发现，这些研究对象记住了比以前多的单词，也就是说，她们的记忆力提高了，即，限制热量的摄取有助于改善人们的记忆力。
46．答案与解析：D　根据第二段第一句可知，研究者限制了这些动物的热量摄取，这会使它们产生饥饿感。
47．答案与解析：A　此处意为“这些饥饿的动物似乎更健康”。
48．答案与解析：C　但是还不清楚是否人类也是这样。Whether表示“是否”。
49．答案与解析：C　根据第三段的叙述可知，科学家们在进行研究。
50．答案与解析：B　科学家们让五十个老年妇女“减少”卡路里的摄入。
51．答案与解析：A　根据上下文逻辑可知，此处应该填进行研究的人，即，研究者。
52．答案与解析：D　根据上文“...scientists asked 50 elderly women to__50__the number of calories they consumed by a third. After three months, ...”可推知，减少热量的摄入，三个月后必然会变瘦。
53．答案与解析：B　根据下文“... they remembered more words than ever.”可知，她们更擅长记单词了。
54．答案与解析：A　under control表示“被控制”。
55．答案与解析：C　根据上下文可知，全文都在讲控制热量摄入量可以帮助提高记忆力，也就是说控制热量摄取可以帮助保持大脑健康。
第二节
【语篇解读】　本文为记叙文。作者讲述了自己和大猩猩的近距离接触。尽管大猩猩表现得很凶猛，但它们并非是好斗的动物。
56．答案与解析：who　此处表示“我不确定谁更感到害怕”。本题考查宾语从句。“________ is more frightened”为宾语从句，该从句缺少主语，故填who。
57．答案与解析：the　句意：出乎意料的是，我正与那只大猩猩面对面，它开始声嘶力竭地尖叫。本题考查冠词。at the top of one's lungs意为“声嘶力竭地”。
58．答案与解析：loudest　句意：它尖叫的声音最大。本题考查副词最高级。根据句意及本句中的“of all”可知设空处填副词最高级，故填loudest。
59．答案与解析：looking　句意：我迅速弯下身，低下头以避免直视它的眼睛以便它不会感到受到挑战。本题考查非谓语动词作宾语。动词avoid后须用动名词形式作宾语且look与主语I为逻辑上的主动关系，故填动名词looking。
60．答案与解析：challenged　本题考查非谓语动词作表语。主语he与challenge(挑战)为逻辑上的被动关系，故填过去分词形式challenged。
61．答案与解析：scientist　句意：我是研究猿和猴子等动物的科学家。本题考查名词。设空处作表语，说明主语的身份；根据提示词science可知填scientist。
62．答案与解析：for　句意：我正在搜寻这三只我一直在观察的西部低地大猩猩。本题考查动词短语。search for为动词短语，意为“搜寻”。
63．答案与解析：them　本题考查代词。设空处指代从句中的the gorillas，以避免重复，故填them。
64．答案与解析：meant　句意：大猩猩确实有不好斗的本性，那只巨大的动物并不是真的要伤害我。本题考查时态。根据上下文可知，本空用一般过去时，故填meant。
65．答案与解析：to stay　句意：一旦它的信息传递了，它就允许我待在那里观察(它们)。本题考查非谓语动词作宾补。allow后须加不定式作宾补；又因为宾语me与stay为逻辑上的主动关系，故填to stay。

第二节
One possible version：
Time passed quickly that year, and before we all knew it, it was the last day of school.Our school had a very special tradition on the last day. All the teachers filled the sidewalk, waving goodbye to the kids as the buses piled out with their horns honking. But on that particular day, Steven walked slowly to the bus, his head down, tears in his eyes. He boarded the bus reluctantly, hesitated, and then ran back off the bus to hug Mr. Rowe. “I don't want to leave you.” He sobbed. With red rimmed eyes, Mr. Rowe comforted him, “I will miss you, too.”
Many years later, Mr. Rowe and I were surprised when a handsome young man walked into our classroom, dressed in the Marine Corps (海军陆战队) uniform. The young man stood tall and proud. It was Steven! Mr. Rowe and I couldn't believe our eyes. He saluted and hugged Mr. Rowe tightly! “I have come back to school today just to say thanks to you！” It is my hope that every teacher is blessed with such an experience of a former student coming back to say, simply to say a very simple THANKS.
