Profession: writer, official
Lived: 1037–1101, during the Song Dynasty
Birthplace: Meishan, Sichuan
Famous works: Tune: Prelude of Water Melody 《水调歌头》, Tune: Calming the Waves 《定风波》
Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. This year marks the 920th anniversary of his death.
Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talent, but also for his optimistic (乐观的) attitude toward life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial examinations (科举考试) and earned the degree of Jinshi (进士). After that, he became an official.
Sadly, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in remote (偏远的) areas because of false accusations (诬陷). But he was not too discouraged.
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There, he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called “Dongpo (东坡)”. This is why people call him “Dongpo”. It’s said that he also invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his best poems were written there, too, including Tune: Calming the Waves (《定风波》). Its line “Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will (归去！也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude.
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot, wet weather. He also couldn’t understand the dialect (方言). Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along very well with the locals. Many people traveled from afar to visit him.
Su was “an incorrigible (无可救药的) optimist, a friend of the people, a prose master …” writer Lin Yutang said in his book about Su.

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, __________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.
33. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______.
A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies
C. show the importance of a good study habit D. express the writer’s worry about their friendship
34. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4
A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them
C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage
A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful
B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
36. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Are you studying the “right” way B. How can you improve your study habits
C. Is it possible for friends to study well together D. What are the advantages of different study setting
D

But it may learn to do new things in the future.
SparkSpark is a new drone(无人驾驶飞机) made by a Chinese company in Shenzhen. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made. When folded, it is as small as a Coke can. The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures.

Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. This year marks the 920th anniversary of his death.
Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talent, but also for his optimistic (乐观的) attitude toward life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial examinations (科举考试) and earned the degree of Jinshi (进士). After that, he became an official.
Sadly, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in remote (偏远的) areas because of false accusations (诬陷). But he was not too discouraged.
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There, he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called “Dongpo (东坡)”. This is why people call him “Dongpo”. It’s said that he also invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his best poems were written there, too, including Tune: Calming the Waves (《定风波》). Its line “Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will (归去！也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude.
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot, wet weather. He also couldn’t understand the dialect (方言). Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along very well with the locals. Many people traveled from afar to visit him.
Su was “an incorrigible (无可救药的) optimist, a friend of the people, a prose master …” writer Lin Yutang said in his book about Su.
26. Being sent to faraway places, Su Shi was _____.
A. thankful B. optimistic C. hopeless D. discouraged
27. Paragraphs 5-6 are written to _____.
A. show Su Shi’s influence on poetry B. show how other people see Su Shi

A. We should work hard to avoid ups and downs.
B. We should try our best to help others.
C. We should ask friends for help when we are down.
D. We should stay optimistic when facing difficulties.

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common. They love doing things together, such as going to movies and concerts, shopping, or just sitting at a small cafe. Since they take a lot of the same school subjects, they would love to study together, but they find this impossible. Their working styles are so completely different that they can’t be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room, but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often gets all her homework done in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she’s on the move.
You might be asking yourself: which way of studying gets better results Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go, __________. Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So, if you’re a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center, don’t worry about it. If you work in total silence, that’s OK; too. Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.
33. Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to______.
A. discuss two different study habits B. compare the differences in their hobbies
C. show the importance of a good study habit D. express the writer’s worry about their friendship
34. Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4
A. and they have difficulty in study B. and it can be true for most of them
C. but that doesn’t seem necessarily true D. but nobody does research on this question
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage
A. Students who like to study in silence will be more successful
B. Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C. Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D. Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
36. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Are you studying the “right” way B. How can you improve your study habits
C. Is it possible for friends to study well together D. What are the advantages of different study setting
【答案】33. A 34. C 35. B 36. A
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。每个人的学习方式各不相同，通过实例证明，研究适合你的方式就是最好的学习方式。
33.细节理解题。通读全文可知，凯莉和玛丽亚有各自不同的学习方式，但他们都在学校表现优异，而且都在规定的时间内完成了学业，所以作为这篇文章中的例子，是为了讨论两种不同的学习习惯。故选A。
34.推理判断题。根据前句“Many people believe that a silent, tidy setting(环境) is the way to go,”后句“Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus(聚焦) their attention, because it makes them form a “wall” in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.”的语境可推测出，空处应是表示转折，说安静整洁的环境不一定是学习的好方法。故选C。
35.推理判断题。根据文中“Judging from Kelly’s and Maria’s study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work within the required time as well.”可推理出，这两种学习习惯都可以帮助学生在学习上取得进步。故选B。
36.最佳标题。每个人的学习方式各不相同，通过实例证明，研究适合你的方式就是最好的学习方式。故文章的最佳标题应是“你在研究‘正确’的方法吗”。故选A。
