A
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep ”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you ”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really—at night, when you’re asleep ”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay ”
1. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy design
2. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. He liked to help his teacher.
B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class.
D. He was imaginative.
3. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.
D. To find out about their ways of thinking.

When I read a post about taking someone to the movies, I was reminded of something that happened a couple of years ago.
I used to drink Cokes and they had a competition where there was a code inside the bottle cap. You went to a website and entered the code and maybe you won something. I won some free Cokes. But then I won the Grand Prize! I was surprised and pleased.
The Grand Prize was free movies for a year. They pointed out that one movie a week was what free movies for a year meant. All of the tickets had a deadline(截止日期)later than a year from the day I received them. So I must use them in the following year. I used quite a few taking friends to movies we all wanted to see.
But the best thing I did with them was that I donated 22 tickets (all I had left by that time) to the local Women's Transition House, a place where women and their children could go when avoiding a bad situation in general and get help to make a new start.
My workplace team had decided to help people in need, so we collected donations for that particular New Year's Day. I knew that the Women's Transition House provided some childcare for the women so they could go for job interviews and things like that.
I put those tickets in a box and wrote a note on the outside, asking the Women's Transition House staff to give movie tickets to women there over the holidays to have something fun to do, with or without their children. It made me really happy to do this.
4. How did the author get the tickets
A. By visiting a website by chance.
B. By using some Cokes to get them.
C. By attending a knowledge competition.
D. By winning the prize lor drinking Cokes.
5. How many tickets did the author and his friends use
A. About 22. B. About 30.
C. About 52. D. About 365.
6. Which of the following best describes the author
A. Lucky and caring. B. Creative and careful.
C. Responsible and cheerful. D. Thankful and generous.
7. What does the Women's Transition House offer
A. Jobs to women in need.
B. Help to women in trouble.
C. Free movie tickets to women.
D. Skills of job interviews to women.

When talking about humor, people often refer to famous humorists such as Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by the pen-name Mark Twain.
Samuel Langhorne Clemens, America’s famous writer, journalist and humorist, was born in Florida on November 30, 1835. He was the sixth of the seven children in the family. As a child, Samuel was often kept indoors because of his poor health.
When Samuel was 12, his father died of a deadly disease and at the age of 13, Samuel had to leave school to make a living. He became a printer's apprentice(学徒). A year later, he became skilled at printing by working and studying hard. Samuel was then employed as a printer with pay. After two years, he became an editorial assistant. It was then that young Samuel became aware of his fondness for writing.
When he was 17 years old, Samuel left Hannibal for a printer’s job in St.Louis. While staying in St.Louis, Samuel became a river pilot in 1858. His pen-name, Mark Twain, came from his days as a river pilot. It is a river term meaning “safe to sail”.
Because the river trade was brought to a stop by the Civil War in 1861, Samuel began working as a newspaper reporter for several newspapers all over the United States. Samuel’s career took off and he became famous when his story The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Country appeared in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. Samuel's first book, The Innocents Abroad was published in 1896. The two novels The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (in 1876) and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (in 1885) brought him worldwide popularity. He wrote 28 books and numerous humor stories, letters and plays.
Mark Twain passed away on April 21, 1910. To remember him, his childhood home was open to the public as a museum in Hannibal.
8.What do we know about Samuel Langhorne Clemens
A.He was an unknown American writer.
B.He had 7 sisters and brothers altogether.
C.He was weak when he was young.

9.When did Samuel Langhorne Clemens realize his interest in writing
A.When he studied at school.
B.When he went to St.Louis.
C.When he worked on a ship.
D.When he was sixteen years old.
10.Samuel got his pen-name from the job as a(n) _________.
A.printer
B.editorial assistant
C.river pilot
D.newspaper reporter
11.Which made Mark Twain become famous

Meghan Howey, an archaeologist at the University of New Hampshire says, “ Humans have lived near the coast for thousands of years. In that time, they created and left behind many cultural relics that hold pieces of the past. These are famous places such as Rapa Nui in the southeastern Pacific Ocean and the canal city of Venice in Italy. But they also include many smaller and less known places. If rising seas destroy these places, we’re going to lose those people’s stories too.”
David Anderson, an archaeologist at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and other researchers recently used online information to look at the dangers created by rising seas. They found that a one-meter rise in sea level could destroy more than 13, 000 of the cultural relics in the southeastern United States. He says, “ Climate change is under way, so now it is the time to start thinking how we are going to protect the important places. We need to know what’s out there and what’s caused or else it may become too late to save at least some of these places.
Efforts to control the worst influences from climate change, including the sea level rise, will require cutting greenhouse-gas emissions(排放物)or taking steps to control flooding in important areas. Another method might be to move cultural treasures. But it’s unlikely that the capital to do that will be saved or collected to pay for every site. And some treasures simply can’t be moved.
If researchers used only traditional methods to map those places, most would be gone before you got to them. Satellites with cameras and other tools, however, can more quickly and easily find and map many of these places.
“ Scanning(扫描)and imaging tools can help ," says Mark D. McCoy, an archaeologist at Southern Methodist University. “ High-resolution digital photography can make detailed puter technologies also can create 3-D virtual(虚拟的)reality models.”
12. What will happen to the cultural relics according to Meghan Howey
A. They will be harmed by rising seas.
B. They will lose people's attention.
C. They will become more crowded.
D. Their old stories will not survive.
13. What does David Anderson encourage people to do
A. Take immediate action to save the cultural relics.
B. Collect information about the cultural relics.
C. Find out the real cause of climate change.
D. Move the cultural relics to safe places.
14. What can replace the underlined word “capital” in the third paragraph
A. Time. B. Advice.
C. Fund. D. Effort.
15. What can be helpful to deal with the problem
A. Machine tools. B. Advanced technology.
C. Scientific research. D. Traditional methods.

In spite of so many years of education behind us, can we confidently say we understand what it feels like to be a teacher
The biggest misunderstanding about teaching jobs is that anyone can be a teacher. In fact, the truth is far from it. 1 They also know the teaching theory well. They should know how things should be taught and how one can be inspired to learn. Also, they need to have an idea about classroom management and students’ psychology (心理学).
Now it can be really annoying for a teacher if someone says teaching is one of the easiest jobs around, because everyone just needs to be taught for a few hours a day. 2 However, teachers work longer to come up with ways to make the knowledge appear more interesting to students and help them learn better.
3 And this is a big reason why more people decide to choose teaching as a career. However, good teachers choose to make good use of the break, by enrolling (注册) themselves for workshops on teaching, classroom management, and related things.
All teachers are not the same, as against what is widely believed. 4 Every teacher is different and has a different approach(方法)to teaching.
5 A teacher has meetings to attend, and is responsible for(对……负责)organizing school events. An important duty of a teacher is to prepare the progress report of each student and discuss it with his or her parents.
In a word, teachers ought to be respected for what they do, and we should never forget their great contribution to our success in life.
A. A teacher has many things to do rather than just teach.
B. It is true that teachers get a lot more holidays than others.
C. A good teacher is one who motivates students to overcome challenges.
D. To begin with, teachers are people who perform well in their fields of study.
E. A statement that is true for one teacher is not necessarily true for the others.
F. And common people even believe teachers are probably overpaid when their days end at 3 pm.
G. These teachers give all they can to create an ideal learning environment for their students.

第二节 概要写作(25分)
Recently, a professor of philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the things he asks his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often see what they really value in life.
He says our relationship with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesn't. This person may say that he has a certain feeling, but if it is not carried out in the money world, there is something less real about it.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Answer: The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I don't know much. All I am is rich.
People just have an idea of making more and more money, but what is it for How much do I need for any given purposes in my life In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than the end. Money plays an important role in the material world, but expecting money to give happiness may be missing the meaning of life.

How to Protect Traditional Chinese Culture
In order to encourage us students to protect traditional Chinese culture, a heated discussion was held in the lecture hall of our school on April 10th.
When it comes to how to protect traditional Chinese culture, the students hold different points of view.Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence.Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional culture so that we can have fun during traditional Chinese festivals.Still others consider all kinds of competitions should be held from time to time, which can provide more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practise calligraphy.
Personally, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect traditional Chinese culture, or we will regret one day.
第二节
参考范文:
A US professor has found out the relationship between money and the meaning of life. Some people think friendship and good relationship depend on whether you have money and whether you are generous. Money is generally considered very important, but a millionaire doesn't feel he is very important, because he thinks he is nothing except that he has money. The professor's findings reveal that money is a tool rather than the goal, and money is not equal to happiness.
