Three very strong women—my mother, my grandmother and Melinda—deserve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kindly teacher and librarian I’ve never written about publicly before, also had a huge influence on me.
Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she passed away, I had an opportunity to thank her for the important role she played in my life, arousing my passion for learning at a time when I easily could have gotten turned off by school.
When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big defects (缺陷), like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a comically messy desk. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read—something that was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wing and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read ” and “What are you interested in ” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the book ” she would ask. “Why What did you learn ” She genuinely listened to what I had to say. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.
Teachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve assigned. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much more knowledge to share. I just needed to ask. Up through high school and beyond, I would often ask my teachers about the books they liked, read those books when I had some free time, and offer my thoughts.
Looking back on it now, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give some credit to the dedicated teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
56. Which of the following best describes the author when he was a fourth grader
A. He tried to escape the attention of others.
B. He developed great passion for reading.
C. He wanted to share his hobby with girls.
D. He built a good relationship with Mrs. Caffier.
57. What does “She pulled me out of my shell” in paragraph 4 mean
A. She forced me to read many books.
B. She taught me how to overcome my defects.
C. She turned me into a person who loves reading.
D. She encouraged me not to hide my love of reading.
58. The author formed a close relationship with Mrs. Caffiere because ______.
A. Mrs. Caffiere encouraged him to write biographies
B. Mrs. Caffiere protected him and inspired him to read
C. he was never rushed into anything by Mrs. Caffiere
D. he listened carefully to Mrs. Caffiere during conversation
59. What do we know from the passage about Mrs. Caffiere
A. Her own experience inspired students to overcome their defects.
B. Her elegance and dedication made her popular among students.
C. She saved the author from losing interest and confidence in learning.
D. She helped the author to hide the fact that he had learning disability.
60. Where is the text probably taken from
A. An interview. B. A book review.
C. A news report. D. An autobiography.
C
Pretty soon not even your dreams may be private anymore. Japanese scientists have learned how to interpret what you’re dreaming about by measuring your brain activity while you sleep. This data can then be connected to an algorithm (算法）that reconstructs your dream so that it can be played back for you when you’re awake, according to the journal Science. In other words, scientists have invented a sort of dream-reading machine. Before long, you may never have to worry about forgetting what you dreamed about ever again. You’ll be able to simply play your dreams back after you wake up in the morning.
The remarkable breakthrough makes use of a fairly straightforward idea: that when we visualize certain types of objects in our minds, our brains generate consistent neural (神经的） patterns that can then be correlated（相关）with what is being visualized. For instance, when you imagine a chair, your brain fires in a pattern that occurs whenever a chair is visualized. An algorithm can then be used to tie the data from a brain scan to the appropriate correlated images. In this way your dream can be reconstructed. So far the research is still fairly basic—researchers only claim to get the dream right about 60 percent of the time—but it’s still an extraordinary turn for the science of the mind.
Here’s how the study worked. Subjects were first asked to hook themselves up to an electroencephalography (EEG) machine, then to fall asleep within an fMRI machine. Scientists used the EEG readings to identify when the subjects began to enter a dreaming phase. The subjects were then promptly woken up and asked to recall what they were dreaming about. This process was repeated nearly 200 times for each subject.
Later, the scientists processed this data and discovered that certain common types of objects from the subjects’ dreams could be correlated with brain patterns as recorded by the fMRI scans. They then used an Internet search engine to look for images that roughly matched the objects from the subjects’ dreams, and entered all of this information into a learning algorithm that improved the model even further. That algorithm was then able to use the data from the dreamers, fMRI scans to assemble videos from the Internet images, basically creating a primitive movie for each dream.
Again, the research is still in a basic phase. So far these videos only represent rough approximations (近似值）of the images from the subjects’ dreams, but researchers claim that the machined predictions were still better than chance. Over time, the technology will improve as the algorithm learns. The research could eventually revolutionize how dreams are interpreted and understood. Scientists may even find out valuable clues about what the mysterious fun_ction of dreaming is in the first place.
61. Which of the following statements is true about dream-reading machine
A. It can make your dream come true.
B. It can rebuild your dream while you sleep.
C. It can help you remember your dream.
D. It can record your dream when you are awake.
62. What does the author mainly want to tell us in paragraph 2
A. How our dream can be rebuilt during sleep.
B. Patterns generated in our brain can be visualized.
C. Images can be visualized in our minds.
D. The data from a brain scan can build images.
63. What does the underlined word “subjects” refer to in paragraph 3
A. Main feature of a talk in the research.
B. People who were tested in an experiment.
C. Topics which happened in a conversation.
D. Courses that were studied in the process.
64. In the experiment, the scientists used a learning algorithm to ______.
A. analyze how our brains generate consistent neural patterns
B. discover when the subjects began to enter a dreaming phase
C. visualize the common types of objects from the subjects’ dreams
D. make the images matching the objects from dreams into videos
65. What’s the author’s attitude towards the machine’s predictions
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Optimistic. D. Tolerant.
D
The Hidden Dangers of Automatic-paying Apps
To get a sense of how spending in my generation is different from that of my parents’, just consider one simple transaction: a utility bill (水电气账单). When my parents paid their utility bill, they had to take out their checkbook (支票簿), put pen to paper, write a check, and then record it in their checkbook. If they did not know how much their utility bill was, they had to be purposefully ignorant.
My utility bill is paid automatically from my banking app. For me to know how much my utility bill is, I have to be purposefully diligent. And the truth is, I’m not in most cases.
Of course, I’m not just talking about utility bills here. As with most millennials （千禧一代）, technology has simplified the payment of bills to such an extent that we tend to take it for granted and hardly have to think about it anymore. And that is the problem: By streamlining our personal finances, technology has also made it so much easier to ignore the costs. However, in doing so, it has broken the connection between the things we buy and the cost of having them. And it is precisely (确实）that connection that keeps our financial lives on track— making sure that we save enough and spend our money on the things that really matter.
The question now is: How do we get that connection back, without giving up the convenience that technology has brought us
The good news is that whatever is given can be taken back. Much of the battle is simply to recognize what we have lost. After all, we do not miss what we do not know we are missing. The first thing is thus to be aware of how much we are spending by using personal-finance apps.
These apps can categorize（将……分类）purchases and send you a spending report. They can detect—and warn you—if a repeated payment is going to get you in trouble. And they can send you a notification（通知）when each automatic payment is being made. These real-time tools, used together, are probably better practice than balancing a checkbook on a Saturday morning.
The fact, however, is that all of these tools require the user to make a conscious effort to sign up for these services, and to actually use them. And that is where the “stop me before I do something foolish” process must begin. If we millennials want to be smart about our money, it seems to me we have no choice: We need to bridge that gap between what we spend and how we pay. We need to feel the connection between the value of our purchases and the effort it takes to make them.
67. The example mentioned in the first two paragraphs suggests that ______.
A. spending habits vary from generation to generation
B. banking apps have quickly developed in recent years
C. the younger generation are much lazier than their parents
D. the payment process has greatly changed over the past decades
67. What can we infer from the question in paragraph 4
A. Automatic payment is so convenient that we cannot live without it.
B. Problems coming from automatic payment accompany its convenience.
C. We enjoy the benefits technology brings us at the cost of our safety.
D. People must have second thoughts before we make payments online.
68. The underlined word “streamlining” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. get...handled B. leaving...exposed
C. keeping...safe D. making...efficient
69. According to the article, which of the following best describes the financial problems most millennials are facing today
A. Out of sight, out of mind. B. The devil is in the details.
C. Rome wasn’t built in a day. D. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
70. According to the author, millennials will be able to take back control over their personal finances by ______.
A. stopping the use of automatic-paying apps
B. setting aside a regular time to pay their bills
C. making the best use of personal-finance apps
D. thinking twice before making expensive purchases
卷II主观题（共35分）
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Most of the time, I tended to feel upset in PE classes at high school. When playing basketball in PE classes, we boys all lined up. The best players were chosen first. For lack of flexibility, I usually ended up to be the last boy chosen. That meant I was often the benchwarmer（候补队员）, a substitute who seldom plays the match.
So I always thought if I could be a gym teacher, I would make sure that kids like me weren’t excluded. However, I became an engineer after graduation to earn my living. But every day after work, I would go running, and later also started to play basketball with neighbors. During years of playing basketball, my skills never really improved. But my body became more flexible.
Several years ago, I retired at 62. I still fantasized about pursuing my dream of working with kids who were athletically challenged. I had seen what sports had done for me. If I could take up a sport, anyone could. In order to gain experience in coaching, I took a basketball class at a college. I learned how to shoot the basketball, pass it to the teammate, prevent it from being taken away, etc. And later in another college I learned how to teach basketball as a coach.
Then I went further to chase my dream. I headed up to a local basketball league and found the organizer Randy. “Teach basketball to the athletically challenged ” Randy doubted when I told him my idea. Joyfully, he agreed later and I joined the league as a coach. Initially, only one eight-year-old girl signed up. Days later, the number of kids who signed up increased. Just looking at those kids, I could tell they had more enthusiasm than talent.
Through my training, they became happier and more confident and their body ended up with flexibility. “This program saved my son’s life,” one mom told me. When I saw my students, change, I felt a great sense of achievement.
71. Why did the author often feel upset in PE classes at high school (no more than 10 words)
72. What does the underlined words “athletically challenged” mean in paragraph 2 (no more
than 5 words)
73. What did the author learn at colleges after retirement (no more than 10 words)
74. How did the author change the kids’ life (no more than 15 words)
75. What did the author do that impresses you most (no more than 20 words)
