Papa, as a son of a poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn. Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way,” he said. He was determined that none of his children would be denied education.
Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing every day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa’s requests. We would talk about the news of the day at dinner time: no matter how unimportant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comments, always to the point.
Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning. “Felice, tell me what you have learned today,” he said.
“I have learned that the population of Nepal is ...” Silence.
Papa was thinking about what was said and then he said, “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” Then the whole family went on a search for Nepal.
By looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value and giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestioningly our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of his most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—keeping learning all the time. His educational way has served me well all my life.

As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced(平衡的) decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent(独立的). But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.
It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens. This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.
You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!

To many web-building spiders, most of whom are nearly blind, the web is their essential window on the world: their means of communicating, capturing prey (猎物), meeting mates and protecting themselves. A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death.
So important is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the hungry spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets thinner, it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider.
The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In the following studies, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day’s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down.
Scientists are impressed by the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another.
32. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.
B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.
C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry.
D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.
33. A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when _______.
A. it is 16 days old B. it has fewer strands
C. it is getting weaker D. it hunts for food
34. A spider’s ability to finish an incomplete web proves that _______.
A. it uses web protein to reproduce silk
B. it has a highly preprogrammed brain
C. the web is almost everything for a spider
D. it is able to rebuild a completely destroyed web
35. What is probably the best title for the passage
A. Keys to Spiders’ Adaptability B. Web-building Spiders’ Life Secrets
C. Importance of Webs to Spiders D. Spiders’ Highly Preprogrammed Brain
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 36 So challenge the following limits:
Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.
If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 37 But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”
38
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.
Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
39 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers-try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. 40
A. You should do it continuously.
B. Someone may hang up on you.
C. You don’t need to go to the gym.
D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.
E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
F. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop.
G You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “ 41 my job. Family to Feed.”

In the store, I asked each of my kids to 44 something they thought our “friend” there would 45 . They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a 46 . I thought about it. We were 47 on cash ourselves, but... well, sometimes 48 from our need instead of our abundance is 49 what we need to do! All the kids declare something they could do away with for the week.
When we handed him the bag of food, he 50 up and thanked us with watery eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for 51 his family might need, he burst into tears.
This has been a wonderful 52 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 53 ! Things would have played out differently so if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have 54 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in need, it also gave my kids the 55 taste of helping others. It’ll go a long way with them.

The Meredith family lived in a small community. As the economy was in decline (下降), some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges.
Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them.
One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Bernard — had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us Well, we can make popcorn (爆米花), and put it into paper bags, and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”
注意:

六、应用文写作:
Dear Jim,
I’m happy to receive your letter and know you’re coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze, the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilization. You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots. That’s why I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.
Hope that you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
七、读后续写:
When Mrs. Meredith heard of John's idea, she thought it a good one, too. So she said, “It is a great idea, but you have to do what you said.” “Of course, I will!” replied John firmly. These children were divided into two groups. One group were busy popping the corn, and the other took charge of buying paper bags and putting popcorn into them. When they finished all the work, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help them.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. At first, he was a little nervous for he didn’t know how to sell the popcorn, but he got up the courage. What was out of his expectation was that neighbours were all friendly to him and his basket emptied in a short time. He earned 50 cents totally that day. He was so delighted that he could hardly speak, and then he ran home to take the money to his mother happily. All of this was because of John’s bright idea, and the way he carried it out.

M: Have you ever seen a small, red beetle(甲虫) with black dots on its back These little insects, called ladybugs, are harmless to humans. A ladybug does not bite or sting humans. Ladybugs are also harmless to plants, and they do not carry diseases. But how did the ladybug get its name There are many stories. One of these stories came from the Middle Ages. The crops were being eaten, and the villagers began praying. The red beetles with black dots came and ate the harmful insects. These beetles were named “the Beetles of Our Lady.” The name was shortened to lady beetles or ladybugs.
Since then, the ladybug has been known to bring good luck. There are many beliefs about ladybugs from all over the world. It has been said that if a ladybug lands on a maiden’s hand, she will marry soon. In England, it has been said that if a farmer sees a ladybug, he will have a good harvest. Some people believe that the number of spots you see on a ladybug’s back will present the number of children you will have.
Ladybugs today can still bring good fortune. If you have ladybugs in your garden, then you do not need to use insect poison to get rid of aphids(蚜虫). Aphids are tiny insects that are harmful to many plants. They suck the juice from the leaves of the plant. A ladybug can eat as many as 50 aphids in a day. Some people buy ladybugs to fight the aphids.
