Zhang Kui first learned he could perfectly mimic (模仿) the sounds of animals when he was a child. He grew up in a poor family in Qiyang, Hunan province, who is a full-time performer of Kouji now.
Zhang was 15 when his father died in 2003. He dropped out of school and joined his uncle's theater. Zhang bought CDs to study how to mimic the sounds of musical instruments and animals. He performed shortly afterward at a small theater. "Although I wasn't that skilled, I got a lot applause. It was my first time on the stage. And then more and more audiences came to watch my performances," he said.
He moved to Guilin in 2004, where he found work as a waiter at a karaoke bar. In 2005, Zhang went to Guangdong province and performed outside supermarkets to sell shampoo. "They paid me less, so I had to perform at bars at night," said Zhang. He also worked as a construction worker. In 2007, he went to Beijing to learn from Niu Yuliang, a Beijing Kouji master. He worked as a gatekeeper to pay his way. He went to Niu on weekends and during the holidays to learn.
Zhang's skills improved and he has since performed on more than 20 television programs. In September 2013, he was invited to Switzerland. In 2014, he performed in Africa, Europe and North America.
Later, he made a short film about the art and hoped to draw more attention to the art. He also planned to give lectures on this traditional art at universities.

A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern (模式) and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out everyone else, even if the person knows the password. What's more, this equipment needs no batteries. It collects all the energy it needs from your actions of typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.
The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires (纳米线) on their surfaces, increasing the effective contact areas between the plastics and fingers. This guarantees that there's enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.
Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of equipment. "It could also be applied to a touch screen, for example," Dai says. "Then smart phones and notepads could collect energy from someone's actions of typing or drawing."
"Future work might make the keyboard even more useful," Dai adds. "A later design might build tiny capacitors onto the nanowires," he says. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charge. Those might then be LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.
Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. "If a company decides to fund this production, this keyboard could be in stores soon," says Wang.
1.How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner
A.By matching the typing pattern to the right user.
B.By sending alerts to a computer program.
C.By checking the right user's password.
D.By just recording information about the typing pattern.
2.Why are there many nanowires on the surfaces of the keys
A.To keep the keyboard free of damage. B.To improve the speed of typing.
C.To make the keys smooth. D.To help produce power.
3.What's Dai's attitude to the new keyboard
A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Critical.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.A New Keyboard Made of Nanowires B.A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by You
C.A New Keyboard's Future D.A New Keyboard Powered by Typing
D
Bai Ye, director of the China Contemporary Literature Study Association, had a dialogue with a famous Canadian critic at an event in Beijing on cultural translation and studies. As they discussed Canadian literature, Bai gave examples of several authors that he liked. The Canadian critic, on the other hand, could not think of any Chinese writer whose works she had read.
"She told me to wait and she would think of one that she really loved. She didn't think of the name until we dined together later. It was Li Bai," he says. That almost hit Bai like a blow, because the poet Li lived in the Tang Dynasty (618 -907). "I study only Chinese literature, but I read a lot of foreign literary works. Obviously, foreign readers know nothing about Chinese literature. And I think it's time for us to change that situation," Bai says.
The major purpose of the event hosted at Beijing Language and Culture University was to discuss how to translate and introduce excellent contemporary Chinese literary works to overseas readers.
In China, more than 7,000 writers have registered (登记) with the China Writers Association, creating more than 3, 000 novels each year. But only some 200-plus Chinese writers have been introduced overseas.
Mai Jia, author of "Decoded" and "In the Dark", is the only contemporary Chinese writer whose works have been translated into 27 languages, says Xu Baofeng, another participant at the event. Xu says there should have been more Chinese writers whose works could be read by overseas readers, since they create really great works.
Bai says foreign readers now tend to read stories about modem urban life in China rather than tales set in rural areas in old times, such as Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum". "We promote overseas what we think are excellent works, but many foreign readers want to read the historical progress in the last 40 years since the reform and opening-up started... However, we don't have such novels. So I think we should first create some excellent works on topics such as migrant workers," says Bai.
Lu Min, vice-chairman of the writers association in Jiangsu province, dismisses such writings. "Can literature be custom-made (定做的) like other products " she asked. " Foreign readers want to learn about Chinese society through literature, which should be the function of the media," she says.
1.What does the underlined sentence mean
A.That made Bai feel unable to help. B.That made Bai feel shocked.
C.That made Bai feel much admiration. D.That made Bai feel annoyed.
2.What can we learn from the passage
A.Xu Baofeng translated "Decoded" for overseas readers.
B.Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum" has a lot to do with modern life.
C.Contemporary works on migrant workers may arouse the interest of overseas readers.
D.Most contemporary Chinese writers' works have enjoyed great popularity among overseas readers.
3.Which could be Lu Min's opinion on literature
A.It is the media's duty to spread it.
B.It tells more about a society than the media.
C.It needs to include topics such as migrant workers.
D.It shouldn't be created based on foreign readers' favor.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.What topics being popular among foreign readers.
B.Foreign readers' impression of Chinese literature.
C.Promoting contemporary literature studies in China.
D.Introducing excellent contemporary Chinese literature overseas.

Reducing Test Anxiety
Test anxiety is when a student excessively worries about doing badly in a test. This can become a major hindrance (造成妨碍的事物) on test performance and cause extreme nervousness and memory problems among other symptoms. ①________
Think positively. Scientific research has shown that our expectations can affect our performance. ②________ However, if you expect that you'll do poorly, studying may not be enough to help you perform well. Therefore, it is a wise choice to think positively.
③________ Fear releases adrenaline(肾上腺素), preparing the body to deal with danger. Your heart rate and breathing speed up and you may feel shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. Anything you can do to reduce these physical reactions will help you think more clearly and feel more confident.
Eat before the test. Don't skip breakfast to study. ④________ Choose protein-filled snacks and avoid sugar, which can give you quick energy that may run out in the middle of the test. Eat something even if you feel sick—try biscuits or bread to settle your stomach. Avoid caffeine and energy drinks, which can increase anxiety.
Get a good night's sleep before the test. Studies have shown that you will do well in a test if you get enough sleep. ⑤________ If the test is later in the day or the evening, or if you just couldn't get a full night's sleep, take a nap. Research has shown that a short nap — less than an hour — can improve alertness, memory, creativity, productivity, and moods, and can decrease stress.
A. Calm your body.
B. Build up your body.
C. The following are tips on reducing test anxiety.
D. If you expect to do well in the test, you still need to study hard.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I travel a lot. We had a horse, a wonderful horse called Dusty. We were out of town when a one-hundred-mile horse race went right past the road in front of my house. My horse wanted to compete in the race, so she jumped over the fence and left quickly.
The next day my husband and I came back home. We found a note on the front door from the police. It said that my horse had gone back to a bam(牲口棚) on the other side of town. She had been born there eighteen years before. So we drove there. It was a lovely old farm and it was owned then by people I didn't know.
The new owners were a man, his wife and their children, two little girls aged seven and five. We saw Dusty was in the bam. "When the little girls got up that morning, they started screaming (尖叫)," their father said. That was because at the top of the hill, with the sun rising, was this beautiful horse. They attracted her to the bam. They spent the day brushing her and treating her.
The seven-year-old girl turned to me. She said, "Can I ride her before you take her back " I said, "Yes." And then I went to a store and bought a bottle of apple juice. When I returned, they told me they had always wished for a horse. But their parents really didn't have the money for one, which made them give up the dream.
I told them I was going to give them Dusty. And I wanted them to make a promise. Someday when they grow up, they each may find a little girl — a little girl they don't know — and give her some very special gifts that she is always looking forward to. They agreed.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
How happy the two little girls were when they knew they could have the horse! ____________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The seven-year-old girl told us her dreams. ________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3.考查细节理解。在第一个景点介绍中提到,这个中心可以带你从罗马时代到当今时代,可以看出其历史不短,故A项错误;在第二个景点介绍中提到,游客可以看到16世纪早期的塔,不是10 世纪,所以B项错误;第三个景点介绍中提到 "Visit our website for the changing programme of special events and to meet our newest arrivals" 由此可知C项正确;第四个景点介绍中提到除了圣诞节之外每天开放,故D项错误。故选C。

2.考查推理判断。根据第六段可知外国读者喜欢阅读当代中国文学,尤其是外来务工人员的城市生活,所以C项正确。
3.考查推理判断。由第六段和最后一段中的" 'Can literature be custom-made(定做的)... of the media'"可推知,鲁敏认为文学不应该建立在外国读者喜欢的基础上,所以D项正确。A项是偷换概念,Lu Min是想说外国读者可以通过媒体去了解中国社会。B项是推理过度。C项正是Lu Min所不赞成的。

解析：文章主要介绍了一支年轻的艺术家团队在敦煌鸣沙山的沙漠中绘制了一幅沙画,以此呼吁人们保护伟大的敦煌文化。
①考查词形转换和名词复数。联系语境可知,此处表示敦煌有许多历史名胜。结合空前的a number of可知,空处应用名词复数。故填attractions。
②考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语,在句中作状语。句子主语a sand painting与make之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此应该用动词-ing形式。
③考查连词。随着日出和日落,这幅画在一天内就逐渐消失了。结合语境并分析句子结构可知,空处应用As引导时间状语从句,意为"随着"。④考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,空处是句子的谓语,结合语境可知应该用一般过去时。故填faded。
⑤考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用冠词,此处表示泛指,expert为可数名词且其发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
⑥考查被动语态。结合语境可知,此处表示敦煌伟大的文化应该得到小心保护,故应用被动语态。空前should为情态动词,后接动词原形,故填be protected。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作后置定语,修饰a desire,故用动词不定式。a desire to do sth.为固定用法,意为"想做某事的愿望"。故填to cherish。
⑧考查固定搭配。结合语境可知,此处表示将这种愿望转化为行动。"translate...into..."为固定搭配,意为"将……转化为……"。
⑨考查名词复数。结合语境可知,此处表示多亏了先进的技术,敦煌的遗迹得以成功地保存下来。根据空前的Dunhuang's 和空后的have been可知,此处应用名词复数,故填relics。
⑩考查词形转换。结合语境并根据空后的heritage可知,空处应用形容词修饰名词。故填cultural。

答案：Paragraph 1:
How happy the two little girls were when they knew they could have the horse! They fed Dusty in the bam and then my husband and I were invited to have lunch in their house.

They worked hard on the farm and tried their best to make the little girls live happily.
Paragraph 2:
The seven-year-old girl told us her dreams. She said, "I was always dreaming of keeping a lovely pet like Dusty and today the dream has come true. I make a promise to take good care of her.

Zhang Kui first learned he could perfectly mimic (模仿) the sounds of animals when he was a child. He grew up in a poor family in Qiyang, Hunan province, who is a full-time performer of Kouji now.
Zhang was 15 when his father died in 2003. He dropped out of school and joined his uncle's theater. Zhang bought CDs to study how to mimic the sounds of musical instruments and animals. He performed shortly afterward at a small theater. "Although I wasn't that skilled, I got a lot applause. It was my first time on the stage. And then more and more audiences came to watch my performances," he said.
He moved to Guilin in 2004, where he found work as a waiter at a karaoke bar. In 2005, Zhang went to Guangdong province and performed outside supermarkets to sell shampoo. "They paid me less, so I had to perform at bars at night," said Zhang. He also worked as a construction worker. In 2007, he went to Beijing to learn from Niu Yuliang, a Beijing Kouji master. He worked as a gatekeeper to pay his way. He went to Niu on weekends and during the holidays to learn.
Zhang's skills improved and he has since performed on more than 20 television programs. In September 2013, he was invited to Switzerland. In 2014, he performed in Africa, Europe and North America.
Later, he made a short film about the art and hoped to draw more attention to the art. He also planned to give lectures on this traditional art at universities.

A new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner. The keyboard records information about the typing pattern (模式) and sends it to a computer program. The program then checks to see if the pattern matches the right user. If not, an alarm sounds, and the computer locks the typist out. It locks out everyone else, even if the person knows the password. What's more, this equipment needs no batteries. It collects all the energy it needs from your actions of typing. Besides, the keyboard is also self-cleaning and the keys are free of damage from water, oil and dirt.
The keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. But instead of being smooth, the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires (纳米线) on their surfaces, increasing the effective contact areas between the plastics and fingers. This guarantees that there's enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.
Liming Dai, a scientist, did not work on the new keyboard, but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of equipment. "It could also be applied to a touch screen, for example," Dai says. "Then smart phones and notepads could collect energy from someone's actions of typing or drawing."
"Future work might make the keyboard even more useful," Dai adds. "A later design might build tiny capacitors onto the nanowires," he says. Capacitors are little devices that temporarily store electric charge. Those might then be LEDs to light a keyboard in the dark.
Zhonglin Wang is a co-designer of the new keyboard. His team has built a working model of the keyboard. "If a company decides to fund this production, this keyboard could be in stores soon," says Wang.
1.How does the new keyboard tell whether you are its owner
A.By matching the typing pattern to the right user.
B.By sending alerts to a computer program.
C.By checking the right user's password.
D.By just recording information about the typing pattern.
2.Why are there many nanowires on the surfaces of the keys
A.To keep the keyboard free of damage. B.To improve the speed of typing.
C.To make the keys smooth. D.To help produce power.
3.What's Dai's attitude to the new keyboard
A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful. C.Positive. D.Critical.
4.What is the best title for the text
A.A New Keyboard Made of Nanowires B.A New Keyboard Entirely Owned by You
C.A New Keyboard's Future D.A New Keyboard Powered by Typing

Bai Ye, director of the China Contemporary Literature Study Association, had a dialogue with a famous Canadian critic at an event in Beijing on cultural translation and studies. As they discussed Canadian literature, Bai gave examples of several authors that he liked. The Canadian critic, on the other hand, could not think of any Chinese writer whose works she had read.
"She told me to wait and she would think of one that she really loved. She didn't think of the name until we dined together later. It was Li Bai," he says. That almost hit Bai like a blow, because the poet Li lived in the Tang Dynasty (618 -907). "I study only Chinese literature, but I read a lot of foreign literary works. Obviously, foreign readers know nothing about Chinese literature. And I think it's time for us to change that situation," Bai says.
The major purpose of the event hosted at Beijing Language and Culture University was to discuss how to translate and introduce excellent contemporary Chinese literary works to overseas readers.
In China, more than 7,000 writers have registered (登记) with the China Writers Association, creating more than 3, 000 novels each year. But only some 200-plus Chinese writers have been introduced overseas.
Mai Jia, author of "Decoded" and "In the Dark", is the only contemporary Chinese writer whose works have been translated into 27 languages, says Xu Baofeng, another participant at the event. Xu says there should have been more Chinese writers whose works could be read by overseas readers, since they create really great works.
Bai says foreign readers now tend to read stories about modem urban life in China rather than tales set in rural areas in old times, such as Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum". "We promote overseas what we think are excellent works, but many foreign readers want to read the historical progress in the last 40 years since the reform and opening-up started... However, we don't have such novels. So I think we should first create some excellent works on topics such as migrant workers," says Bai.
Lu Min, vice-chairman of the writers association in Jiangsu province, dismisses such writings. "Can literature be custom-made (定做的) like other products " she asked. " Foreign readers want to learn about Chinese society through literature, which should be the function of the media," she says.
1.What does the underlined sentence mean
A.That made Bai feel unable to help. B.That made Bai feel shocked.
C.That made Bai feel much admiration. D.That made Bai feel annoyed.
2.What can we learn from the passage
A.Xu Baofeng translated "Decoded" for overseas readers.
B.Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum" has a lot to do with modern life.
C.Contemporary works on migrant workers may arouse the interest of overseas readers.
D.Most contemporary Chinese writers' works have enjoyed great popularity among overseas readers.
3.Which could be Lu Min's opinion on literature
A.It is the media's duty to spread it.
B.It tells more about a society than the media.
C.It needs to include topics such as migrant workers.
D.It shouldn't be created based on foreign readers' favor.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.What topics being popular among foreign readers.
B.Foreign readers' impression of Chinese literature.
C.Promoting contemporary literature studies in China.
D.Introducing excellent contemporary Chinese literature overseas.

Reducing Test Anxiety

Studies have shown that you will do well in a test if you get enough sleep. ⑤________ If the test is later in the day or the evening, or if you just couldn't get a full night's sleep, take a nap.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I travel a lot. We had a horse, a wonderful horse called Dusty. We were out of town when a one-hundred-mile horse race went right past the road in front of my house. My horse wanted to compete in the race, so she jumped over the fence and left quickly.
The next day my husband and I came back home. We found a note on the front door from the police. It said that my horse had gone back to a bam(牲口棚) on the other side of town. She had been born there eighteen years before. So we drove there. It was a lovely old farm and it was owned then by people I didn't know.
The new owners were a man, his wife and their children, two little girls aged seven and five. We saw Dusty was in the bam. "When the little girls got up that morning, they started screaming (尖叫)," their father said. That was because at the top of the hill, with the sun rising, was this beautiful horse. They attracted her to the bam. They spent the day brushing her and treating her.
The seven-year-old girl turned to me. She said, "Can I ride her before you take her back " I said, "Yes." And then I went to a store and bought a bottle of apple juice. When I returned, they told me they had always wished for a horse. But their parents really didn't have the money for one, which made them give up the dream.
I told them I was going to give them Dusty. And I wanted them to make a promise. Someday when they grow up, they each may find a little girl — a little girl they don't know — and give her some very special gifts that she is always looking forward to. They agreed.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

第二节
答案：attractions; making; As; faded; an; be protected; to cherish; into; relics; cultural
解析：文章主要介绍了一支年轻的艺术家团队在敦煌鸣沙山的沙漠中绘制了一幅沙画,以此呼吁人们保护伟大的敦煌文化。
①考查词形转换和名词复数。联系语境可知,此处表示敦煌有许多历史名胜。结合空前的a number of可知,空处应用名词复数。故填attractions。
②考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处为非谓语,在句中作状语。句子主语a sand painting与make之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,因此应该用动词-ing形式。
③考查连词。随着日出和日落,这幅画在一天内就逐渐消失了。结合语境并分析句子结构可知,空处应用As引导时间状语从句,意为"随着"。④考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,空处是句子的谓语,结合语境可知应该用一般过去时。故填faded。
⑤考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处应用冠词,此处表示泛指,expert为可数名词且其发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
⑥考查被动语态。结合语境可知,此处表示敦煌伟大的文化应该得到小心保护,故应用被动语态。空前should为情态动词,后接动词原形,故填be protected。
⑦考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处作后置定语,修饰a desire,故用动词不定式。a desire to do sth.为固定用法,意为"想做某事的愿望"。故填to cherish。
⑧考查固定搭配。结合语境可知,此处表示将这种愿望转化为行动。"translate...into..."为固定搭配,意为"将……转化为……"。
⑨考查名词复数。结合语境可知,此处表示多亏了先进的技术,敦煌的遗迹得以成功地保存下来。根据空前的Dunhuang's 和空后的have been可知,此处应用名词复数,故填relics。
⑩考查词形转换。结合语境并根据空后的heritage可知,空处应用形容词修饰名词。故填cultural。

答案：Paragraph 1:
How happy the two little girls were when they knew they could have the horse! They fed Dusty in the bam and then my husband and I were invited to have lunch in their house. We accepted their invitation. Because of bad weather, the harvest of the family was always poor, but the parents never gave up hope. They worked hard on the farm and tried their best to make the little girls live happily.
Paragraph 2:
The seven-year-old girl told us her dreams. She said, "I was always dreaming of keeping a lovely pet like Dusty and today the dream has come true. I make a promise to take good care of her. I will clean the barn every day. I have another dream —that is to compete in a horse race. I think it must be really exciting." When we left there, the little girls thanked us once again.
