Learning outside of a classroom may still be a new thing for many people but not for Kamer ·Meli·Veseli, who’s completing his final year of high school that way. His family moved from Kosovo to Switzerland, so he’s doing his coursework remotely and will take a big test with all of his teachers at the end of the year. It’s the ideal arrangement for Meli since it allows him to manage his own schedule and pursue other interests in his free time. That’s where Spark and online learning come in.
Meli has always been a serious gamer, but he’s not just looking to have fun. He likes examining the technology behind his favorite games and is curious to understand how developers create the graphics, textures, and special effects. He really wanted to make his own games and actually did develop a couple on Android but wasn’t satisfied with the results.
Searching for online courses that could take his game to the next level, he found Spark, and it was “one of the happiest days of my life.”
But gaming isn’t the extent of Meli’s interests. He’s also a hopeful singer who’d always lacked the confidence to sing in public. Then he took courses on Spark and discovered exercises that could help him loosen and relax his throat and release his voice “10 times better in 10 minutes.” Now he plans for Switzerland’s version of the TV show “The Voice” in 2016! With Spark courses, Meli’s also brushing up on his drawing skills, which he picked up in his childhood. He finally created a perfect portrait of his older brother.
Wherever Meli’s dreams take him, he knows he’ll be able to find relevant courses on Spark: “The variety is unlimited — so many languages, all kinds of software, even things like meditation and cultural lessons. Whatever you want to learn, you’ll find it on Spark.”
56.According to the first paragraph, how does Spark influence Meli’s life (no more than 10 words)
________________
57.When did Meli find Spark (no more than 15 words)
________________
58.What does the underlined phrase mean in paragraph 3 (no more than 1 word)
________________
59.What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about (no more than 15 words)
________________
60.What do you think of online learning Give your reason. (no more than 20 words)

When I was eight or nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and began to cry. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful poem!”
Shyly, proud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She poured out her praise. Why, this poem was nothing short of genius! I glowed.
I spent the best part of that afternoon preparing for the arrival of my father. But he did not return until an hour late for dinner. “Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,” my mother began. “Buddy has written his first poem! And it’s beautiful, absolutely amazing.”
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
That poem was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. I could hear my father breathing. “I think it’s lousy,” my father said.
“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”
They quarreled over it. I couldn’t stand it another second. I ran from the dinning room bawling.
Up in my room I threw myself on the bed and sobbed.
A few years later I took a second look at that first poem; it was a pretty lousy poem. But it wasn’t until years later that the true meaning of that painful “first poem” experience dawned on me. As I became a professional writer, it became clearer and clearer to me how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “Buddy, did you really write this I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head no and drove me to tears with “I think it’s lousy.” A writer — in fact every one of us in life — needs that loving-mother force from which all creation flows; and yet alone it is incomplete, even misleading, finally destructive, without the father force to caution, “Watch. Listen. Review. Improve.”
56.How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 2 (no more than 8 words )
_________________________________________________________________
57.Why did the writer’s parents quarrel at dinner (no more than 10 words )
_________________________________________________________________
58.What did the writer think of his first poem when he grew older (no more than 8 words )

59.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about (no more than 15 words )

60.What kind of parents do you need in life (no more than 20 words )

When I was a boy growing up, I could not once ever remember either my mom or my grandmother wasting food. Anything we didn’t eat at one meal was saved, stored, and served as leftovers (剩饭剩菜) later on. I can remember my grandmother making a huge pot of brown beans with a large cake of cornbread. We would all eat until we were stuffed but there was always about half of the beans left over. A few days later my grandmother would take those beans out of the refrigerator, boil pasta, add parsley and mix them all together into her delicious Pasta Fasule. And I also remember when I watched my mom fry bacon for us in the mornings, she would always take the grease (油脂) and carefully pour it into a container. Then she later would use it to flavor up so many other dishes. I was an adult before I realized that green beans didn’t actually taste like bacon.
I learned their lessons well and after I grew up I tried never to waste food by myself. I always planned the week’s meals ahead of time and only bought what was on my shopping list so nothing went to waste. Every meal went into my stomach and any leftovers were later eaten by either myself, my boys, or my dogs. To me throwing food in the trash was just wrong. All the work it took to grow it, harvest it, and prepare it needed to be honored, not wasted.
I learned something else over the years, however: when it comes to living there are no leftovers. Each moment that you don’t live is lost forever. Life cannot be saved. Life cannot be stored. Life has to be lived, TODAY!
Live each moment of your life to the fullest then. Make every day a feast of love with no leftovers. Leo Buscaglia once said: “Each day is a fresh beginning, a little life unto itself.” Don’t let any of these little lives go to waste. Live your life with a full belly and a full heart.
56.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 1 probably mean (1 word)
____________________________________________________________
57.How could the beans the author ate as a child taste like bacon (no more than 10 words)

58.What did the author do to avoid wasting food (no more than 15 words)

59.What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about (no more than 20 words)

60.How do you live your life to the fullest Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

阅读下面短文,按照要求用英语回答问题。
In life, once on a path, we tend to follow it, for better or worse. What’s sad is that even if it’s the latter, we often follow a certain path anyway because we are used to the way things are that we don’t even recognize that they could be different. Psychologists call this phenomenon functional fixedness.
This classic experiment will give you an idea of how it works—and a sense of whether you may have fallen into the same trap:
People are given a box of tacks (大头钉) and some matches and asked to find a way to attach a candle to a wall so that it bums properly. Typically the subjects try tacking the candle to the wall or lighting it to fix it with melted wax (石蜡). The tacks are too short, and the candle doesn’t fasten to the wall. So how can you accomplish the task The successful technique is to use the tack box as a candle holder. You empty it, tack it to the wall, and stand the candle inside it.
To think of that, you have to look beyond the box’s usual role as a container just for tacks and reimagine it serving an entirely new purpose. That is difficult because we all suffer—to one degree or another—from functional fixedness. The inability to think in new ways affects people in every comer of society. The political theorist Hannah Arendt coined the phrase “frozen thoughts” to describe deeply held ideas that we no longer question but should. In Arendt’s eyes, the complacent reliance on such accepted “truths” also made people blind to ideas that didn’t fit their worldview, even when there was enough evidence for them. Frozen thinking has nothing to do with intelligence, she said, “It can be found in highly intelligent people ”
Another context in which frozen thinking can turn truly dangerous is medicine. If you land in the hospital, it’s natural to want to be treated by the most experienced physicians on staff. But according to a 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), you’d be better off being treated by the relative novices (新手).

57. How can the candle be attached to the wall properly (no more than 15 words)

第一节:阅读表达(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Rock climbing requires not only physical strength, but also complete mental concentration.
So it is not an easy sport. But this may not be true for 20-year-old Sasha DiGuilian. This fearless
girl who has been dominating the sport ever since she entered this field is just getting warmed up.
The youngster who is also studying for a creative writing degree at Columbia University says
that she began climbing even before she could walk. As a baby, she constantly escaped from her
bed and led her friends to the nearest rocks or hills. Then at the age of seven she attended
brother’s birthday party at a local rock climbing gym and found her gift for it.
Soon after, she joined the local center in her hometown of Alexandria, Virginia and began
climbing — first once a week, then twice and soon, almost every day. At the age of nine, she won
her first climbing competition by participating in an event that she hadn’t even been aware of,
until she went to the gym for her normal climbing routine. Her competitive nature and love for the
sport immediately reached the peak and she began training seriously, but this time outside the
gym — climbing real mountains.
As a youngster, she won the Junior Continental Championships from 2004 to 2010. Then she
went on to catch the Pan American Championship and the US National Championship as soon as
she was old enough. And in 2011, at just 18 years old, she was crowned Female Overall World
Champion in Arco, Italy at her first attempt.
Sasha DiGuilian is also the youngest woman who has completed the 5.14d graded climb in
which climbers must climb rocks that are vertical. The 5.14d graded climb is regarded as the most
difficult climb and it is something that even the most experienced climbers are a little afraid to
take on, because a small slip could result in a severe injury or even death.
56. What does the underlined word “dominating” in Paragraph 1 mean (1 word)
57. When did Sasha DiGuilian find she had the talent for rock climbing (no more than 12
words)
58. What made Sasha DiGuilian begin training seriously to climb real mountains (no more
than 10 words)
59. Why is the 5.14d graded climb considered the most difficult climb (no more than 7 words)
60. How are you inspired by Sasha DiGuilian Please explain. (no more than25 words)
