Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community (社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need.In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson,the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and,in 1981,the first woman to join the US Supreme Court.O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civil-rights movement.“The only tired I was,was tired of giving in,”said Parks.

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive.As you know,the prizes were started by Alfred Bernhard Nobel.Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm,the capital of Sweden,and lived from 1833 to 1896.
Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor.He made two important inventions,so he became very rich.Although he was rich,Nobel was not a happy man.He never married or had children.Also,he was a sick man in a large part of his life.Nobel died at the age of sixty-three.When he died,he left a fund of $9,000,000.The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics,chemistry,medicine,literature and the promotion of world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on 10 December 1901,five years after Nobel’s death.Many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.Albert Einstein was one of them.
Each prize has three parts.The first part is a gold medal.Second,a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the Prize.The third part of the prize is a large amount of money—about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person,but not always.Sometimes a prize is shared.It may be given to two or three people who have worked together.Sometimes a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievements.In 1972,for example,no Nobel Peace Prize was given.It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the prize or not.

I sat in my seat as my new classmates found theirs.At the front of the class stood our new maths teacher,watching us.“Come on.We don’t have all day.Get settled please.”
The bell rang.
“OK.Welcome to a new school year.I’m Mr Stevens and I’m sure I’ll learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out maths books.When it was done,he returned to the front of the class and looked at us.We stared back.“What are you waiting for Get started ” he said.

Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity”. 36 And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.
37
Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”,but it is also important to a child’s development.“Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills,it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.
Read with kids
Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence. 38 For parents who don’t have much time,just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way,too.
Put kids to bed early
39 Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.
Learn a second language
Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual(双语的) kids can perform better under pressure.Young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation.
Praise good effort not intelligence
Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks.Kids,who are praised on intelligence,often feel it is a fixed quality,and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning. 40
A.Play some helpful games
B.Give them enough playtime
C.And they are not afraid to fail and try again.
D.Kids still need time away from the TV to do homework.
E.Kids who read often develop earlier writing and number skills as well.
F.Everything at this time is very important to the development of a person’s brain.
G.Studies show that kids with regular bedtime are better at languages,maths and reading.

It was a small town with nice landscapes that attracted a lot of rich people to live in.Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town.But he had little money,so he rented a cheap house after he arrived.But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people.So he took up a job to sell cell phones.But his cell phones were not good in quality.
One day,Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money.Luckily,there was still a phone in his pocket to sell.Soon enough,he spotted a target— a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket.Ming came up to him and smiled politely,saying,“Hey,friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked,“What’s up ”
Ming said to him immediately,“Friend,I have a phone.I bought it at 5,000 yuan.But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away.Ming stopped him and said,“What about 2,000 yuan ” The man shouted at him,“What do you want to do with me ”
Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs,crying to him,“Oh,my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan,is it OK ” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man,after seeing this,felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket.Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
After earning 1,000 yuan,Ming felt happy.As he felt hungry,he went to a small restaurant to have lunch.Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier.The cashier stared at the banknote for quite a while,as if checking if it was a fake note,and then said to Ming,“Sorry,I could not find any change for you for the moment.Please wait a minute.” Then he went away.Staying in the restaurant without anything to do,Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV.After all,his cheap-rented house had no TV.
The TV was broadcasting a piece of news ____________________________________________

(Text 10)
W:Today,about 15% of people are left-handed.But why are people left-handed The answer has to do with the way the brain works.The brain has two halves—the right half controls the left side of the body,and the left controls the right side of the body.So,right-handed people have a strong left brain,and left-handed people have a strong right brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size.But each side controls different things.The left side controls language,math and logic.When you remember new words,or when you put things in order,you use your left side.The right side of the brain controls your love of art,colours,and music.It is also good at recognising faces.This doesn’t mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed.Some right-handers have a strong right brain,and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

33.D 段落大意题。通读第三段尤其是“Then she began organising women’s groups to promote causes that were important to women.”可知,本段主要讲述Susan Brownell Anthony为争取女权而斗争的情况。故选D项。
34.C 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“...some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote.”可知,在Susan Brownell Anthony的努力下,美国一些地区修改了法律,给了妇女投票权;结合该段第三、四句可以判断,画线词应是指代“给妇女投票权”这一决定。故选C项。
35.D 标题归纳题。本文在第一段点出主题,接着下文介绍了她为妇女争取财产权、投票权等权利所做出的努力。因此D项(为妇女权利而斗争的先锋)最适合做标题。
36~40 FBEGC
【解题导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了美国著名演说家Les Brown的人生历程,他曾经对自己不自信,但是老师的鼓励改变了他。
41.B 句意:在自我完善和目标设定方面,他也是一位思想领袖。由全文可知,该空涉及确定目标,与文末“follow his goals”呼应。故选B项。
42.A 根据后文“during his school days”可知为学生时期。故选A项。
43.C 句意:在他上学的时候,老师认为他不能“学不好”,因此,他不得不留级。故选C项。
44.C 句意同上题。repeat the grade表示“留级”。故选C项。
45.D 句意:更糟糕的是,Les有一个非常聪明有才华的孪生兄弟,所以他被同学们嘲笑。该处应与“bright”并列,表示Les的兄弟“聪明有才能”,与Les形成鲜明对比。故选D项。
46.A laugh at 嘲笑;care about 关心;knock down 打倒;look into 调查。根据前文可知,Les成绩差,却有个优秀的孪生兄弟,因此他会受到同学的嘲笑。故选A项。

54.B 根据前后文语境“...spent the rest of his life facing...setting and following his goals.”可知,Les余生面对挑战,追随自己的目标。故选B项。
55.D 根据上文Les的故事可知,只有认可自己,发现自己的伟大之处,才能坚定不移地追随自己的目标,应对挑战。故选D项。

The police car stopped before the small restaurant and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming.Ming could hardly struggled.At this moment,the cashier showed up and said to the policemen,“Yes,it is he who uses fake notes!” Ming felt shocked,saying to himself,“The man cheated me of my phone with a fake note.”

Jane Addams (1860-1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank.Addams helped the poor and worked for peace.She encouraged a sense of community (社区)by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need.In 1931,Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson,the environmental movement might not exist today.Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School,in 1952,she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman.She became an Arizona state senator (参议员) and,in 1981,the first woman to join the US Supreme Court.O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civil-rights movement.“The only tired I was,was tired of giving in,”said Parks.

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive.As you know,the prizes were started by Alfred Bernhard Nobel.Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm,the capital of Sweden,and lived from 1833 to 1896.
Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor.He made two important inventions,so he became very rich.Although he was rich,Nobel was not a happy man.He never married or had children.Also,he was a sick man in a large part of his life.Nobel died at the age of sixty-three.When he died,he left a fund of $9,000,000.The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievements in physics,chemistry,medicine,literature and the promotion of world peace.
The first Nobel Prizes were given on 10 December 1901,five years after Nobel’s death.Many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements.Albert Einstein was one of them.
Each prize has three parts.The first part is a gold medal.Second,a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the Prize.The third part of the prize is a large amount of money—about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person,but not always.Sometimes a prize is shared.It may be given to two or three people who have worked together.Sometimes a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievements.In 1972,for example,no Nobel Peace Prize was given.It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the prize or not.

I sat in my seat as my new classmates found theirs.At the front of the class stood our new maths teacher,watching us.“Come on.We don’t have all day.Get settled please.”
The bell rang.
“OK.Welcome to a new school year.I’m Mr Stevens and I’m sure I’ll learn all your names in no time.” He walked around the class handing out maths books.When it was done,he returned to the front of the class and looked at us.We stared back.“What are you waiting for Get started ” he said.
We looked at him—confused.Wasn’t he going to teach us
“Is there something wrong with your ears You’re not all deaf,are you ”
A brave boy at the back of the class asked what we all wanted to know.“Mr Stevens,aren’t you going to teach us ”
“Rubbish!” Mr Stevens replied,“You’re smart kids.Open your books and get down to it.If you have any trouble or any questions,raise your hand,and I’ll come to help you.”

Scientists often see the first ten years of a child’s life as the “window of opportunity”. 36 And studies show that the following activities can benefit their brain greatly.
37
Free playtime has always been an important part of “being a kid”,but it is also important to a child’s development.“Free play” not only helps kids develop different skills,it also helps them develop into happy healthy adults in the future.
Read with kids
Reading has long been known to improve children’s intelligence. 38 For parents who don’t have much time,just surrounding your kids with books goes a long way,too.
Put kids to bed early
39 Preschool children should get at least eleven hours of sleep and kids up to age 12 should try to get at least ten hours of sleep.
Learn a second language
Early studies in this field have shown that bilingual(双语的) kids can perform better under pressure.Young children can learn new languages with nearly perfect fluency and pronunciation.
Praise good effort not intelligence
Your kids may be smart but you should mainly praise the effort they put into tasks.Kids,who are praised on intelligence,often feel it is a fixed quality,and mistakes or failures badly hurt their self-confidence.Kids who are praised on effort often focus more on learning. 40
A.Play some helpful games
B.Give them enough playtime
C.And they are not afraid to fail and try again.
D.Kids still need time away from the TV to do homework.
E.Kids who read often develop earlier writing and number skills as well.
F.Everything at this time is very important to the development of a person’s brain.
G.Studies show that kids with regular bedtime are better at languages,maths and reading.

It was a small town with nice landscapes that attracted a lot of rich people to live in.Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots of the town.But he had little money,so he rented a cheap house after he arrived.But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people.So he took up a job to sell cell phones.But his cell phones were not good in quality.
One day,Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money.Luckily,there was still a phone in his pocket to sell.Soon enough,he spotted a target— a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket.Ming came up to him and smiled politely,saying,“Hey,friend...” But the man was very cautious and asked,“What’s up ”
Ming said to him immediately,“Friend,I have a phone.I bought it at 5,000 yuan.But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000 yuan.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away.Ming stopped him and said,“What about 2,000 yuan ” The man shouted at him,“What do you want to do with me ”
Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs,crying to him,“Oh,my dear friend! Only 1,000 yuan,is it OK ” Ming began pouring out his “sad story” as he was crying.The man,after seeing this,felt a little bit moved and put his hands into his pocket.Then he took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
After earning 1,000 yuan,Ming felt happy.As he felt hungry,he went to a small restaurant to have lunch.Ming ordered several dishes and handed over a note of 100 yuan to the cashier.The cashier stared at the banknote for quite a while,as if checking if it was a fake note,and then said to Ming,“Sorry,I could not find any change for you for the moment.Please wait a minute.” Then he went away.Staying in the restaurant without anything to do,Ming sat at a table and started to watch TV.After all,his cheap-rented house had no TV.

M:Yes,but it has everything—a cooker,a fridge,and even a dishwasher.
W:And there are lots of cupboards.
M:Let me show you the bedrooms.This is the smaller one.
W:It’s a good size,though.
M:Now come into the other bedroom.You can see the bathroom,too.
W:Yes.It is very nice,but I will have to ask my friend first.And we will come together.I understand it is $800 a month.
M:Yes,but a few blocks downtown would be much more expensive.
W:Well,thank you.I will be in touch.
(Text 10)
W:Today,about 15% of people are left-handed.But why are people left-handed The answer has to do with the way the brain works.The brain has two halves—the right half controls the left side of the body,and the left controls the right side of the body.So,right-handed people have a strong left brain,and left-handed people have a strong right brain.The two halves of the brain are about the same size.But each side controls different things.The left side controls language,math and logic.When you remember new words,or when you put things in order,you use your left side.The right side of the brain controls your love of art,colours,and music.It is also good at recognising faces.This doesn’t mean that all artists are left-handed and all lawyers are right-handed.Some right-handers have a strong right brain,and some left-handers have a strong left brain.

34.C 词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“...some parts of the United States changed their laws to give women the right to vote.”可知,在Susan Brownell Anthony的努力下,美国一些地区修改了法律,给了妇女投票权;结合该段第三、四句可以判断,画线词应是指代“给妇女投票权”这一决定。故选C项。
35.D 标题归纳题。本文在第一段点出主题,接着下文介绍了她为妇女争取财产权、投票权等权利所做出的努力。因此D项(为妇女权利而斗争的先锋)最适合做标题。

Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
