In 2013, I realised that I needed a break from the office work, so I set out travelling. But I had no idea how much the decision would change me for the rest of my life!
Before travelling, I was always worried about what other people think of me. How I looked and dressed was really important to me. I was always worried about putting on weight, getting darker, wondering if I was good-looking enough to socialise and be one of the people I used to hang out with. It doesn't matter now. I'm more confident with my colour, my weight, and how I dress.
I used to compete a lot even when I was still a kid. I always wanted to impress people with how smart I was, how I could handle any task ... But now, why should I feel like I need to compete I only need to impress myself. My life is already complete; I just have to make sure that whatever I do will be positive (积极的) and make me a better person.
I was a 24-year-old Filipina with a successful career (事业) and had all of the things I could buy. But when I started travelling, I was no one. I have to learn a lot of things when travelling and I love it!
I thought the only skills I needed to improve were Microsoft Office and networking. Well I can now proudly say that I know how to fix beds in a hotel style, how to cook breakfast for a lot of guests, and how to work in a restaurant!
Besides the skills I've learned volunteering, I have completed several certifications (资格证) to start making money to support my new lifestyle. I am now a yoga teacher, an Ayurveda massage therapist (按摩师) and an English teacher. Now, with the new skills and certifications, I can work wherever I want!

Some people are unable to describe the face of someone they have just met. Some cannot even recognize their own children in a group photograph. Such people have a condition of the brain called “face blindness” or “developmental prosopagnosia (DP).”
Face blindness was once thought to be rare. But recent studies have shown that it might be more common than experts had thought.
The latest study on face blindness came from Dartmouth College. The researchers studied how people recognize and process faces. They compared 22 patients with DP to 25 other people, showing all the subjects videos of faces, bodies, physical objects and other things.
One test dealt with famous faces. When shown famous faces, one subject, Dacia Reid, drew nothing with actor George Clooney.
“Eh! I don't know.”
... and former President George Bush.
“Ah, I don't know.”
However, she could recognize actor John Travolta.
“Um, John Travolta. Yeah, that chin (下巴)! You can't deny (否认) the chin.”
Reid suffered (遭受) brain damage as a child. She has mostly recovered (康复) from her injuries. But now, she suffers from face blindness.
Bradley Duchaine, the lead researcher of the study, says that studying face blindness may help researchers understand how the brain works. “My main interest is trying to understand the organization of the normal brain, and we use these brains that have undergone brain damage to study the way the normal brain operates.”
To see if the brain recognized people and things in the same way, the researchers tested how well people with face blindness could recognize common objects.
They found that people with DP may not have been able to remember faces, but they could recognize objects, scenes and bodies.
The researchers say that suggests that faces are processed differently in the brain.
Duchaine says this study on face blindness will not directly lead to any treatments. However, he said it could lead to a deeper understanding of how we all remember the world around us.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To report a serious problem.
B. To give practical suggestions.
C. To express the main idea of the text.
D. To provide background information.
29. Why was Reid able to recognize the picture of John Travolta
A. He has a special face.
B. She is a big fan of him.
C. She had seen the picture before.
D. He was wearing special clothes.
30. What is one of Duchaine's purposes of doing the study
A. To find medical treatments for DP.
B. To see how DP affects people's lives.
C. To understand how the human brain operates.
D. To study how people develop face blindness.
31. What did the Dartmouth College study find
A. Brain damage is the main cause of DP.
B. DP differs greatly from patient to patient.
C. Face blindness is more common than people thought.
D. Human brains work differently in recognizing faces and things.
D
Everything, no matter how great it is, will always have its problems. If you ever find yourself in an argument about renewable (可再生的) energy with someone who needs to receive more education, do your part for the environment by giving the following facts.
Argument one: renewable energy is expensive. This argument is only a surface truth. For a large house or small business, to start using renewable energy can be expensive at first. There's a lot of equipment to buy. However, in the following 10 or 20 years, you'll never see another power bill again. If you make lots of energy, you might even be able to sell it back to the power company.
Argument two: renewable energy takes up a lot of space. If you have a small yard, people might have told you that you'll never be able to fit solar (太阳能的) energy equipment in there. Even if you can't, look at land for sale close to your place. If your neighbors are interested in going green, you might be able to go in together to buy a piece of land and build a large solar farm you can share. Many houses can benefit from one solar farm. Not everyone needs a big yard.
Argument three: renewable energy isn't necessary. Renewable energy allows us to power our lives without using up anything. We don't need to do much — we can just make receptacles (容器) for the free, renewable energy that already surrounds us. When you think about it, it's almost like wasting energy if we don't collect it.
Argument four: renewable energy isn't as efficient (效率高的). A UK based study on renewable energy actually found that it was a lot more efficient than traditional energy sources. Since it produces almost no waste heat, while most other energy sources can produce more than half of their production in waste heat, it's safe to say that using the energy we already have in our daily life can be more than twice as efficient.
32. Why did the author write the text
A. To develop arguments against renewable energy.
B. To explain why renewable energy should be used.
C. To teach people to make full use of renewable energy.
D. To show the importance of protecting the environment.
33. What's the weak point of using renewable energy
A. It's mostly for small businesses.
B. It can be used for 20 years at most.
C. It takes up lots of money at the beginning.
D. It's sometimes not enough for daily use.
34. What does the author suggest when your yard is too small
A. Make your solar farm to a smaller size.
B. Raise money with other people to buy land.
C. Move your family to a place with a bigger yard.
D. Put the solar energy equipment in your neighbor's yard.
35. In what way is renewable energy efficient
A. Almost all of its production is usable.
B. It can produce heat in a very short time.
C. It produces more power than power companies.
D. Its waste heat is a bit less than traditional energy's.

When you prepare to go mountain biking, there are a few things to keep in mind. 36 Work out whether you plan on taking exciting trips far off the beaten path or riding on more standard trails (小道), and whether you want to complete long-distance mountain journeys or shorter ones.
The next step is to make sure you have a good understanding of the International Mountain Bicycling Association's Rules of the Trail. 37
First, make sure to only ride on open trails. This means staying away from private areas, closed roads, and especially wilderness areas. Be considerate of others who are using the same paths as you, be they mountain bikers, horseback riders, or mountain climbers.
The third step is to make sure you have a bike that is suitable for the type of riding you plan to do. 38 Don't be afraid to shop around quite a bit — after all, this is something you'll be spending quite some time on, and a bad fit can make for a lot of suffering down the trail.
Finally, get gear (装备) together for your trip and choose some trails. Always make sure you are entirely self-sufficient (自给自足的) on the trail. 39 It is also important to carry a good helmet (头盔), and the tools or supplies you'll need to do quick repairs or changes if the weather turns. 40
A. Be careful of animals on the path.
B. Make sure to carry enough water and food.
C. Test ride different bikes to find the right one for you.
D. Choose short runs that can help you get used to the sport.
E. The first step is to decide what sort of riding you plan to do.
F. In a word, don't get yourself in trouble and cause trouble to others.
G. Make sure you look after your environment and get on with others along the way.

选做题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I often imagined discussing school choices with my son, but I did not expect to be having such a conversation with him at thirteen years of age.
Earlier this year, he expressed his wish to go to one of the biggest public high schools in our small city. He told me that he wanted to go there because several of his longtime friends were also going.
I fought back the thought to roll my eyes. I told him that if he went to this school, he would be going from a class size of 18 to being one of several hundred in the freshman class. He wouldn't be able to receive the special attention of his teachers anymore. He would be going to school for six hours a day, and then have to do homework at night ...
He was undeterred, however, so I made him a deal. He would need to come up with a list of valid (合理的) reasons. Then, we would sit down and have a talk about it.
Later that night, as promised, we had a discussion. He gave a strong argument with a list of reasons. First, he explained that he would have more choices in courses and after-school activities. Besides, attending this school would better prepare him for college because he would learn what it was like on a big campus (校园).
He added that he would learn to manage his time and take ownership of his schoolwork. He also promised that he would make use of the drop-in tutoring the school offered if he should ever run into trouble.
I sat back and listened, impressed at the thought and research that he had prepared. Honestly, I could have put my foot down and said “no,” or “just wait another year,” but I would have been doing that for me, not for him.
At last, we let our son have the final say on choosing a high school. I knew if my kid put forth the same effort as he did in persuading (说服) us, he would be perfectly fine in high school.
1. How did the author feel when her son suggested attending a big public school
A. It met her expectation.
B. It was a difficult choice.
C. It might not be a wise decision.
D. It was unexpected but wonderful.
2. What does the underlined part “He was undeterred” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. He did not change his mind.
B. He had no idea what to do next.
C. He lost interest in what I was saying.
D. He felt uncomfortable with my words.
3. Why did the author's son want to study in a public school
A. It would help him get into a good college.
B. It would help him become more independent.
C. Public schools provided a drop-in tutoring service.
D. He could make more friends in a large-sized class.
4. What was the author's final decision
A. She turned down her son.
B. She let her son decide by himself.
C. She asked her son to do more research.
D. She asked her son to wait one more year.
B
Theatre audiences usually rise to their feet only during breaks or when the curtain comes down. For a special production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, however, getting up and moving around is required if you want to catch all of the action.
The production is staged in the James J. Hill House in St. Paul, Minnesota. The action takes place in several rooms on several levels of the 36,000-square-foot building.
This is not the first time that the Wayward Theatre Company has chosen a special place to stage a theatrical production. Co-founder and director Sarah Nargang said that the group prefers to perform (表演) in untraditional spaces. She noted, “It allows people to communicate with these spaces, as well as the text, in new and interesting ways.”
Besides the James J. Hill House, the group has performed at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in hotel rooms, and in the back of a brewery (酒厂).
“We usually choose a play and then find a place for it,” Nargang said. “But we try to choose historic places as much as we can.”
The James J. Hill House was built for a railroad businessman of the same name. The five-story mansion (豪宅) sits on a large area of land overlooking the city of St. Paul and the Mississippi pleted in 1891, in what was known as the Gilded Age, it is now owned by the Minnesota Historical Society.
“The James J. Hill House allowed us to stage Hamlet during the Gilded Age and show much of rich people's lives of that time,” Nargang said.
Performing Hamlet in a mansion affected the way the production was choreographed (为……编舞). “Entering and exiting are more difficult because you don't have many choices of where you can go,” said Tim McVean, who plays the role of Hamlet.
“There's a lot more running around,” added actor Tim Perfect, who plays Claudius, the ruler who marries Hamlet's mother. “But there's no way any stage could compete with this place for beauty.”
5. What is special about the production of Hamlet in the James J. Hill House
A. It is performed by very famous actors.
B. It has attracted the largest audience ever.
C. It is produced in a new and humorous way.
D. The audience must move around to watch it.
6. The Wayward Theatre Company prefers to perform in _____.
A. open areas
B. traditional spaces
C. historic places
D. high-rise buildings
7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. The Gilded Age.
B. The city of St. Paul.
C. The Mississippi River.
D. The James J. Hill House.
8. What does Tim Perfect think of performing in a mansion
A. Difficult but enjoyable.
B. Traditional but interesting.
C. Comfortable and exciting.
D. Relaxing and helpful.

One possible version：
Dear Tom,
Glad to get in touch with you. I'm writing to tell you something about our school.
I'm sure you still remember our school where you studied five years ago. At that time, there were only three buildings in all. We had no indoor stadium so we couldn't have PE classes whenever it rained. However, great changes have taken place in the past five years. Now we've ten buildings and the number of students is over three thousand. We also have a new indoor stadium, which is very convenient. If you could come to visit our school, you will surely notice many other changes.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua

第一节
主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是议论文。该不该允许学生在学校嚼口香糖呢？
41. A。42. C。43. A。根据distracting可知，本段中老师的观点是不赞成学生在校嚼口香糖。他们认为嚼口香糖是世界上“最不良的（worst）”习惯。“影响（affect）”学习，而且很“吵（noisy）”。
44. B。45. D。干了的口香糖“结果（ends up）”是要不粘在桌子下，要不在地板上，所以老师们认为口香糖不“属于（belong）”学校。
46. A。47. B。由本句中的as long as it doesn't affect ... students' ability to concentrate可知，一些老师“允许（allow）”学生嚼口香糖，只要嚼口香糖不影响他们“教学（teach）”、不分散其他同学的注意力。
48. C。由If a student sticks gum under his desk, they make him remove it可知，老师们的原则是：不要有噪音、不要“乱七八糟（mess）”。
49. D。由下文的描述可知，嚼口香糖有许多“益处（advantages）”。
50. C。下文提到嚼口香糖能让学生变得更聪明，故此处指“记住（remember）”名字。
51. C。根据下文中的It will help the brain work better可知，嚼口香糖让孩子们变得“更聪明（smarter）”。
52. A。这里是比较嚼口香糖和“通常（usually）”不嚼口香糖的区别。
53. D。根据下文中的Mental tasks are done 20% faster while chewing gum可知，嚼口香糖可“增强（increases）”注意力。
54. B。上文的tests是提示。
55. C。56. D。根据gum chewing can calm students' minds可知，学生考试时嚼口香糖会发挥得更好，“因为（because）”嚼口香糖可以消除“紧张（nervousness）”。
57. C。上文中的whiten teeth是提示。
58. A。尽管嚼口香糖有诸多好处，但有些人会“说（say）”口香糖会污染环境。
59. B。文末中的hide是提示。
60. B。如果允许学生在校嚼口香糖，他们就不会因为“害怕（fear）”被老师逮住而把口香糖粘在桌子下面了。

主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是说明文。文章介绍了迪拜的摩天大楼——哈利法塔。
61. came。考查一般过去时。由in 2003可知，设空处表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填came。
62. difficulties。考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“难事”，由设空处前的many可知，此处应用其复数形式，故填difficulties。
63. its。考查代词。设空处作定语修饰weight，表示“它的”，故填形容词性物主代词its。
64. be considered。考查被动语态。 设空处意为“也得考虑迪拜的高温天气”，heat与consider之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。因为设空处前有情态动词had to，故填be considered。
65. and。考查连词。both ... and ... 意为“既……又……”。
66. to use。考查不定式作定语的用法。 way后常跟动词不定式作定语，表示“……的方式”。
67. how。考查疑问词。设空处所在句意为“另一个问题是如何能安全快速地让人们上下摩天楼”，故填how。
68. working。考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，因为engineers与work之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填working。
69. which。考查关系代词。each of与设空处引导定语从句补充说明elevators，且在从句中作主语，设空处指代elevators，故填which。
70. For。考查介词。For example 意为“例如”。

In 2013, I realised that I needed a break from the office work, so I set out travelling. But I had no idea how much the decision would change me for the rest of my life!
Before travelling, I was always worried about what other people think of me. How I looked and dressed was really important to me. I was always worried about putting on weight, getting darker, wondering if I was good-looking enough to socialise and be one of the people I used to hang out with. It doesn't matter now. I'm more confident with my colour, my weight, and how I dress.
I used to compete a lot even when I was still a kid. I always wanted to impress people with how smart I was, how I could handle any task ... But now, why should I feel like I need to compete I only need to impress myself. My life is already complete; I just have to make sure that whatever I do will be positive (积极的) and make me a better person.
I was a 24-year-old Filipina with a successful career (事业) and had all of the things I could buy. But when I started travelling, I was no one. I have to learn a lot of things when travelling and I love it!
I thought the only skills I needed to improve were Microsoft Office and networking. Well I can now proudly say that I know how to fix beds in a hotel style, how to cook breakfast for a lot of guests, and how to work in a restaurant!
Besides the skills I've learned volunteering, I have completed several certifications (资格证) to start making money to support my new lifestyle. I am now a yoga teacher, an Ayurveda massage therapist (按摩师) and an English teacher. Now, with the new skills and certifications, I can work wherever I want!

Some people are unable to describe the face of someone they have just met. Some cannot even recognize their own children in a group photograph. Such people have a condition of the brain called “face blindness” or “developmental prosopagnosia (DP).”
Face blindness was once thought to be rare. But recent studies have shown that it might be more common than experts had thought.
The latest study on face blindness came from Dartmouth College. The researchers studied how people recognize and process faces. They compared 22 patients with DP to 25 other people, showing all the subjects videos of faces, bodies, physical objects and other things.
One test dealt with famous faces. When shown famous faces, one subject, Dacia Reid, drew nothing with actor George Clooney.
“Eh! I don't know.”
... and former President George Bush.
“Ah, I don't know.”
However, she could recognize actor John Travolta.
“Um, John Travolta. Yeah, that chin (下巴)! You can't deny (否认) the chin.”
Reid suffered (遭受) brain damage as a child. She has mostly recovered (康复) from her injuries. But now, she suffers from face blindness.
Bradley Duchaine, the lead researcher of the study, says that studying face blindness may help researchers understand how the brain works. “My main interest is trying to understand the organization of the normal brain, and we use these brains that have undergone brain damage to study the way the normal brain operates.”
To see if the brain recognized people and things in the same way, the researchers tested how well people with face blindness could recognize common objects.
They found that people with DP may not have been able to remember faces, but they could recognize objects, scenes and bodies.
The researchers say that suggests that faces are processed differently in the brain.
Duchaine says this study on face blindness will not directly lead to any treatments. However, he said it could lead to a deeper understanding of how we all remember the world around us.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To report a serious problem.
B. To give practical suggestions.
C. To express the main idea of the text.
D. To provide background information.
29. Why was Reid able to recognize the picture of John Travolta
A. He has a special face.
B. She is a big fan of him.
C. She had seen the picture before.
D. He was wearing special clothes.
30. What is one of Duchaine's purposes of doing the study
A. To find medical treatments for DP.
B. To see how DP affects people's lives.
C. To understand how the human brain operates.
D. To study how people develop face blindness.
31. What did the Dartmouth College study find
A. Brain damage is the main cause of DP.
B. DP differs greatly from patient to patient.
C. Face blindness is more common than people thought.
D. Human brains work differently in recognizing faces and things.
D
Everything, no matter how great it is, will always have its problems. If you ever find yourself in an argument about renewable (可再生的) energy with someone who needs to receive more education, do your part for the environment by giving the following facts.
Argument one: renewable energy is expensive. This argument is only a surface truth. For a large house or small business, to start using renewable energy can be expensive at first. There's a lot of equipment to buy. However, in the following 10 or 20 years, you'll never see another power bill again. If you make lots of energy, you might even be able to sell it back to the power company.
Argument two: renewable energy takes up a lot of space. If you have a small yard, people might have told you that you'll never be able to fit solar (太阳能的) energy equipment in there. Even if you can't, look at land for sale close to your place. If your neighbors are interested in going green, you might be able to go in together to buy a piece of land and build a large solar farm you can share. Many houses can benefit from one solar farm. Not everyone needs a big yard.
Argument three: renewable energy isn't necessary. Renewable energy allows us to power our lives without using up anything. We don't need to do much — we can just make receptacles (容器) for the free, renewable energy that already surrounds us. When you think about it, it's almost like wasting energy if we don't collect it.
Argument four: renewable energy isn't as efficient (效率高的). A UK based study on renewable energy actually found that it was a lot more efficient than traditional energy sources. Since it produces almost no waste heat, while most other energy sources can produce more than half of their production in waste heat, it's safe to say that using the energy we already have in our daily life can be more than twice as efficient.
32. Why did the author write the text
A. To develop arguments against renewable energy.
B. To explain why renewable energy should be used.
C. To teach people to make full use of renewable energy.
D. To show the importance of protecting the environment.
33. What's the weak point of using renewable energy
A. It's mostly for small businesses.
B. It can be used for 20 years at most.
C. It takes up lots of money at the beginning.
D. It's sometimes not enough for daily use.
34. What does the author suggest when your yard is too small
A. Make your solar farm to a smaller size.
B. Raise money with other people to buy land.
C. Move your family to a place with a bigger yard.
D. Put the solar energy equipment in your neighbor's yard.
35. In what way is renewable energy efficient
A. Almost all of its production is usable.
B. It can produce heat in a very short time.
C. It produces more power than power companies.
D. Its waste heat is a bit less than traditional energy's.

When you prepare to go mountain biking, there are a few things to keep in mind. 36 Work out whether you plan on taking exciting trips far off the beaten path or riding on more standard trails (小道), and whether you want to complete long-distance mountain journeys or shorter ones.
The next step is to make sure you have a good understanding of the International Mountain Bicycling Association's Rules of the Trail. 37
First, make sure to only ride on open trails. This means staying away from private areas, closed roads, and especially wilderness areas. Be considerate of others who are using the same paths as you, be they mountain bikers, horseback riders, or mountain climbers.
The third step is to make sure you have a bike that is suitable for the type of riding you plan to do. 38 Don't be afraid to shop around quite a bit — after all, this is something you'll be spending quite some time on, and a bad fit can make for a lot of suffering down the trail.
Finally, get gear (装备) together for your trip and choose some trails. Always make sure you are entirely self-sufficient (自给自足的) on the trail. 39 It is also important to carry a good helmet (头盔), and the tools or supplies you'll need to do quick repairs or changes if the weather turns. 40
A. Be careful of animals on the path.
B. Make sure to carry enough water and food.
C. Test ride different bikes to find the right one for you.
D. Choose short runs that can help you get used to the sport.
E. The first step is to decide what sort of riding you plan to do.
F. In a word, don't get yourself in trouble and cause trouble to others.
G. Make sure you look after your environment and get on with others along the way.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I often imagined discussing school choices with my son, but I did not expect to be having such a conversation with him at thirteen years of age.
Earlier this year, he expressed his wish to go to one of the biggest public high schools in our small city. He told me that he wanted to go there because several of his longtime friends were also going.
I fought back the thought to roll my eyes. I told him that if he went to this school, he would be going from a class size of 18 to being one of several hundred in the freshman class. He wouldn't be able to receive the special attention of his teachers anymore. He would be going to school for six hours a day, and then have to do homework at night ...
He was undeterred, however, so I made him a deal. He would need to come up with a list of valid (合理的) reasons. Then, we would sit down and have a talk about it.
Later that night, as promised, we had a discussion. He gave a strong argument with a list of reasons. First, he explained that he would have more choices in courses and after-school activities. Besides, attending this school would better prepare him for college because he would learn what it was like on a big campus (校园).
He added that he would learn to manage his time and take ownership of his schoolwork. He also promised that he would make use of the drop-in tutoring the school offered if he should ever run into trouble.
I sat back and listened, impressed at the thought and research that he had prepared. Honestly, I could have put my foot down and said “no,” or “just wait another year,” but I would have been doing that for me, not for him.
At last, we let our son have the final say on choosing a high school. I knew if my kid put forth the same effort as he did in persuading (说服) us, he would be perfectly fine in high school.
1. How did the author feel when her son suggested attending a big public school
A. It met her expectation.
B. It was a difficult choice.
C. It might not be a wise decision.
D. It was unexpected but wonderful.
2. What does the underlined part “He was undeterred” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. He did not change his mind.
B. He had no idea what to do next.
C. He lost interest in what I was saying.
D. He felt uncomfortable with my words.
3. Why did the author's son want to study in a public school
A. It would help him get into a good college.
B. It would help him become more independent.
C. Public schools provided a drop-in tutoring service.
D. He could make more friends in a large-sized class.
4. What was the author's final decision
A. She turned down her son.
B. She let her son decide by himself.
C. She asked her son to do more research.
D. She asked her son to wait one more year.
B
Theatre audiences usually rise to their feet only during breaks or when the curtain comes down. For a special production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, however, getting up and moving around is required if you want to catch all of the action.
The production is staged in the James J. Hill House in St. Paul, Minnesota. The action takes place in several rooms on several levels of the 36,000-square-foot building.
This is not the first time that the Wayward Theatre Company has chosen a special place to stage a theatrical production. Co-founder and director Sarah Nargang said that the group prefers to perform (表演) in untraditional spaces. She noted, “It allows people to communicate with these spaces, as well as the text, in new and interesting ways.”
Besides the James J. Hill House, the group has performed at the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in hotel rooms, and in the back of a brewery (酒厂).
“We usually choose a play and then find a place for it,” Nargang said. “But we try to choose historic places as much as we can.”
The James J. Hill House was built for a railroad businessman of the same name. The five-story mansion (豪宅) sits on a large area of land overlooking the city of St. Paul and the Mississippi pleted in 1891, in what was known as the Gilded Age, it is now owned by the Minnesota Historical Society.
“The James J. Hill House allowed us to stage Hamlet during the Gilded Age and show much of rich people's lives of that time,” Nargang said.
Performing Hamlet in a mansion affected the way the production was choreographed (为……编舞). “Entering and exiting are more difficult because you don't have many choices of where you can go,” said Tim McVean, who plays the role of Hamlet.
“There's a lot more running around,” added actor Tim Perfect, who plays Claudius, the ruler who marries Hamlet's mother. “But there's no way any stage could compete with this place for beauty.”
5. What is special about the production of Hamlet in the James J. Hill House
A. It is performed by very famous actors.
B. It has attracted the largest audience ever.
C. It is produced in a new and humorous way.
D. The audience must move around to watch it.
6. The Wayward Theatre Company prefers to perform in _____.
A. open areas
B. traditional spaces
C. historic places
D. high-rise buildings
7. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to
A. The Gilded Age.
B. The city of St. Paul.
C. The Mississippi River.
D. The James J. Hill House.
8. What does Tim Perfect think of performing in a mansion
A. Difficult but enjoyable.
B. Traditional but interesting.
C. Comfortable and exciting.
D. Relaxing and helpful.

One possible version：
Dear Tom,
Glad to get in touch with you. I'm writing to tell you something about our school.
I'm sure you still remember our school where you studied five years ago. At that time, there were only three buildings in all. We had no indoor stadium so we couldn't have PE classes whenever it rained. However, great changes have taken place in the past five years. Now we've ten buildings and the number of students is over three thousand. We also have a new indoor stadium, which is very convenient. If you could come to visit our school, you will surely notice many other changes.
Looking forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua

本文是议论文。该不该允许学生在学校嚼口香糖呢？
41. A。42. C。43. A。根据distracting可知，本段中老师的观点是不赞成学生在校嚼口香糖。他们认为嚼口香糖是世界上“最不良的（worst）”习惯。“影响（affect）”学习，而且很“吵（noisy）”。
44. B。45. D。干了的口香糖“结果（ends up）”是要不粘在桌子下，要不在地板上，所以老师们认为口香糖不“属于（belong）”学校。
46. A。47. B。由本句中的as long as it doesn't affect ... students' ability to concentrate可知，一些老师“允许（allow）”学生嚼口香糖，只要嚼口香糖不影响他们“教学（teach）”、不分散其他同学的注意力。
48. C。由If a student sticks gum under his desk, they make him remove it可知，老师们的原则是：不要有噪音、不要“乱七八糟（mess）”。
49. D。由下文的描述可知，嚼口香糖有许多“益处（advantages）”。

51. C。根据下文中的It will help the brain work better可知，嚼口香糖让孩子们变得“更聪明（smarter）”。
52. A。这里是比较嚼口香糖和“通常（usually）”不嚼口香糖的区别。

54. B。上文的tests是提示。
55. C。56. D。根据gum chewing can calm students' minds可知，学生考试时嚼口香糖会发挥得更好，“因为（because）”嚼口香糖可以消除“紧张（nervousness）”。
57. C。上文中的whiten teeth是提示。
58. A。尽管嚼口香糖有诸多好处，但有些人会“说（say）”口香糖会污染环境。

第二节
主题语境：人与社会——社会
本文是说明文。文章介绍了迪拜的摩天大楼——哈利法塔。
61. came。考查一般过去时。由in 2003可知，设空处表示的动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，故填came。
62. difficulties。考查名词复数。设空处作宾语，表示“难事”，由设空处前的many可知，此处应用其复数形式，故填difficulties。
63. its。考查代词。设空处作定语修饰weight，表示“它的”，故填形容词性物主代词its。
64. be considered。考查被动语态。 设空处意为“也得考虑迪拜的高温天气”，heat与consider之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。因为设空处前有情态动词had to，故填be considered。
65. and。考查连词。both ... and ... 意为“既……又……”。
66. to use。考查不定式作定语的用法。 way后常跟动词不定式作定语，表示“……的方式”。
67. how。考查疑问词。设空处所在句意为“另一个问题是如何能安全快速地让人们上下摩天楼”，故填how。
68. working。考查动词-ing形式作定语的用法。设空处作后置定语，因为engineers与work之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填working。
69. which。考查关系代词。each of与设空处引导定语从句补充说明elevators，且在从句中作主语，设空处指代elevators，故填which。
70. For。考查介词。For example 意为“例如”。

主题语境：人与自我——生活与学习
本文是记叙文。作者的孩子想要选择一所大的公立学校读高中，作者对此忧心忡忡。但最终，孩子用强有力的理由说服了作者。
1. C。推理判断题。第三段中作者列举了诸多事实，向她的孩子说明与他目前所上的学校相比，公立学校有许多不便之处，包括班级人数众多、无法得到老师的特别关注、上课时间变长、晚上写作业等，因此可推断，作者得知孩子想要上公立学校时，认为这不是个明智的决定。
2. A。推理判断题。第三段作者列举事实希望打消孩子上公立学校的念头，但由第四段中的however和He would need to come up with a list of valid reasons可知，孩子仍然坚持想上公立学校。因此推断，划线部分内容表示孩子并没有气馁，即他没有改变主意。
3. B。推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的He added that he would learn to manage his time and take ownership of his schoolwork可知，他提供的理由之一是，他将学会自己管理时间并安排学业，即他将会变得更加独立。
