B篇
Watching a young，21-year-old Jordan Spieth win the US Masters today, I could not help but think of the great qualities he displayed to win the most famous golf event on the calendar against the greatest players in the world.
Jordan Spieth has learned to keep himself in check. There is a great proverb, "A fool shares all his or her feelings while a wise man keeps them in check." As I watched Spieth playing, I noticed a constant calm around him. Whether he hit the shot he wanted or not, he was the same and kept his emotions steady(稳定的)and strong. He never blamed the crowd, clubs or wind.
He knows which club he is going to drive with on every hole; he knows which side of the fairway (高尔夫球道)to land and exactly where he wants to be standing on every green when he is putting; he has played it through his minds for months. He is the person who makes things happen by planning in advance. Winning is not a fluke(侥幸击中); It’s a by-product of months and years of planning. Nothing happens by chance.
If there is an event that every golfer dreams of winning, it's the US Masters. So, how would Spieth have felt in 2014 getting so close to winning but coming second As good as second was, he only wanted to be first. The difference between great shots and poor shots at the Masters is only inches. In that 2014 final round, Spieth was standing on the 8th hole with a 2-shot lead, but through a number of small misses he lost it and never recovered it. However, he never stops learning. As a great person once said, “While you’re green, you're growing; when you’re brown, you're dying." He stays green. He is always reading, learning, and he understands that the greatest teacher of all is failure.
( )4. Which description is suitable for Jordan Spieth
A. He can control himself properly.
B. He likes to share his feelings.
C. He is a man of great knowledge.
D. He usually uses sayings when speaking.
( )5. What does the third paragraph want to tell us about Jordan Spieth
A. He always has a game plan and sticks to it.
B. He never does anything until it really happens.
C. He usually decides on a club to join in advance.
D. He can’t bear losing the chance of winning a game.
( )6. How did Jordan Spieth feel in the 2014 Masters
A. Inspired.
B. Satisfied.
C. Doubtful.
D. Curious.
( )7. What is the text mainly about
A. Feelings of losing the US Masters.
B. Sports qualities of Jordan Spieth.

C篇
It’s sometimes a challenge for scientists to explain clearly just how widely certain ecosystems in some certain areas around the world are being threatened. There's nothing fuzzy about the term“extinction vortex(旋涡)”, however. That’s what one of the world's most important forests Brazil's Atlantic Forest-is now being called. Since colonization (殖民地化)in the 16th century，the forest has been reduced from over 1.1 million square kilometers to 0.143 square kilometers. Now a new judgement of the variety of creatures in this place has reached some equally shocking results. More than half of the subtropical forest's local mammal(哺乳动物)species have been wiped out.
"These habitats are now often severely incomplete, limited to not enough large forest remains, and trapped in an open-ended extinction vortex. This has never been recorded in both history and pre-history and can be directly the result of human activity," said Carlos Peres, a biologist.
The study found that top meat-eating animals, like jaguars and pumas, were the most destructed. But when you're talking about this great ecological destruction, everything takes a hit.
Researchers compared large-and medium- sized mammals in the forest from the past 30 years. Basic records came from those taken when the area was first colonized by Europeans in the 16th century. This was a place that left European naturalists in surprise when it was first discovered, with its greenness and with the amount of creature diversity.
The health of the forest's mammals is seen as an important sign because mammals are most helpful in helping plants spread their seeds, and also in controlling animal populations.
“The mammal diversity of the once grand Atlantic Forest has been largely reduced to a pale shadow of its former self," said Peres.
( )8. What does the underlined word“fuzzy” in the first paragraph mean
A. Valuable.
B. Unclear.
C. Doubtful
D. Impossible.
( )9. Why is the Brazilian forest called“extinction vortex"
A. Because it is ever colonized by Europeans.
B. Because it is home to large forest mammals.
C. Because it is continually being destroyed.
D. Because it is reduced to a small forest in area.
( )10.How did researchers study the Brazilian forest
By measuring the area of the forest.
B. By surveying the plant diversity.
C. By counting the creatures in the forest.
D. By judging the recordings of mammals.
( )ll. What is the main idea of the text
A. The decrease in Brazilian rainforests.
B. The future of the forest's mammals.
C. The variety of creatures in forests.
D. The ecosystems around the world.
D篇
Nobel Prize winners, legendary authors, and famous scientists-you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that's not always the case.
While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as“late bloomers"-people whose talents are not noticeable until later in life.
This idea of “peaking(达到峰值)” at different times inspired new research from the United States.“Many people believe that creativity is only connected with youth, but it really depends on
what kind of creativity you’re talking about," said Bruce Weinberg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, here are two types of people: conceptual(概念的) and experimental thinkers.
To reach their conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify
their creative peaks.
Some peaked from ages 25 to 29. Classified (分类) as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach," said Weinberg. He added that their study isn't limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative fields. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don't panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.
( )12. What did the study from the US find
A. Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people.
B. Most people have a conceptual approach when thinking.
C. One’s creative peak is related to their job type.
D. Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times.
( )l3. What do we know about experimental thinkers
A. Their talents usually peak in their 20s.
B. They are good at doing experiments.
C. They work out new methods based on experience.
D. They are more successful than conceptual thinkers.
( )14. What would Weinberg probably agree with
A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.
B. More research needs to be done about creative peaks.
C. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.
D. Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s.
( )15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Never too old to succeed
B. Better late than never
C. Do not teach fish to swim
D. Experience is the best teacher

Family time isone of the most important times in a child's life. My family and I spend a lot of time together, including having dinner together every night. 16 Even when my father is away on business, my mother, my sister and I talk and have fun together. As a teenager, spending time with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary. I learn from them every time we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother's days.
17 Data show that only 50 of families sit down for dinner together every night. That's a
shame because researchers claim that kids who have these regular family dinners tend to have a
sense of belonging and safety. 18 And they are also more likely to have better grades and a
larger vocabulary.
There have been many recent studies showing kids are “wilder” than they used to be. 19
think less attention from parents might be one of them. If parents spend more time with their children, they will keep their kids away from television, video games and “wild" ideas,
I have noticed in old TV shows and my parents' stories that not long ago sitting at the family dinner table was not a choice, but a must. 20 It is probably because parents and children are under more pressure from work and study. Although we all lead busy lives and are always running
around trying to finish homework or play sports, we should all spend 20 minutes each day to eat dinner together.
A. Nowadays, it seems harder for people to find time to be together. B.I did a little research on the “family table” idea. C. Children just watch TV and play computer games. D. There are certainly many reasons for this. E. We don’t watch television. Instead we sit down at the table to eat and discuss our days. F. What's more, they learn better behaviors during the time with their parents. G. It is important for parents to teach children how to behave.

He got out and ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Jack heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little disabled brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car." There it is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him as a present and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things that I've been trying to tell you about.”

Jack got out and lifted the disabled boy to the front seat of his car.

Nobel Prize winners, legendary authors, and famous scientists-you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that's not always the case.
While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as“late bloomers"-people whose talents are not noticeable until later in life.
This idea of “peaking(达到峰值)” at different times inspired new research from the United States.“Many people believe that creativity is only connected with youth, but it really depends on
what kind of creativity you’re talking about," said Bruce Weinberg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, here are two types of people: conceptual(概念的) and experimental thinkers.
To reach their conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify
their creative peaks.
Some peaked from ages 25 to 29. Classified (分类) as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach," said Weinberg. He added that their study isn't limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative fields. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don't panic. Your creative peak may be yet to arrive.
( )12. What did the study from the US find
A. Young people are not necessarily more creative than old people.
B. Most people have a conceptual approach when thinking.
C. One’s creative peak is related to their job type.
D. Conceptual and experimental thinkers hit their peaks at different times.
( )l3. What do we know about experimental thinkers
A. Their talents usually peak in their 20s.
B. They are good at doing experiments.
C. They work out new methods based on experience.
D. They are more successful than conceptual thinkers.
( )14. What would Weinberg probably agree with
A. It’s difficult to find one’s talent in later years.
B. More research needs to be done about creative peaks.
C. Conceptual thinkers could be more successful in the art field.
D. Experimental thinkers from other fields may be most successful in their 50s.
( )15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Never too old to succeed
B. Better late than never
C. Do not teach fish to swim
D. Experience is the best teacher

Family time isone of the most important times in a child's life. My family and I spend a lot of time together, including having dinner together every night. 16 Even when my father is away on business, my mother, my sister and I talk and have fun together. As a teenager, spending time with my parents is not the most fun thing I do but I feel it is necessary. I learn from them every time we talk, whether it is about my dad’s job or my mother's days.
17 Data show that only 50 of families sit down for dinner together every night. That's a
shame because researchers claim that kids who have these regular family dinners tend to have a
sense of belonging and safety. 18 And they are also more likely to have better grades and a
larger vocabulary.
There have been many recent studies showing kids are “wilder” than they used to be. 19
think less attention from parents might be one of them. If parents spend more time with their children, they will keep their kids away from television, video games and “wild" ideas,
I have noticed in old TV shows and my parents' stories that not long ago sitting at the family dinner table was not a choice, but a must. 20 It is probably because parents and children are under more pressure from work and study. Although we all lead busy lives and are always running
around trying to finish homework or play sports, we should all spend 20 minutes each day to eat dinner together.
A. Nowadays, it seems harder for people to find time to be together. B.I did a little research on the “family table” idea. C. Children just watch TV and play computer games. D. There are certainly many reasons for this. E. We don’t watch television. Instead we sit down at the table to eat and discuss our days. F. What's more, they learn better behaviors during the time with their parents. G. It is important for parents to teach children how to behave.

Dear Peter，
How’s everything going？On behalf of my family and myself，I’d like to invite you to have dinner with us.
I invite you not only because we are good friends and I want to treat you to dinner but also because my brother has some difficulty in learning English，which upsets him very much. Therefore，I hope that you can have a talk with him about English learning after dinner.
If it is convenient for you，please come to my home at 6 o’clock this Sunday afternoon. You can take the No.666 bus at the west gate of our school and get off at Daxing Road，where I will pick you up.
I sincerely hope you can come. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours，

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
He got out and ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Jack heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little disabled brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car." There it is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him as a present and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paragraph 2:
Jack got out and lifted the disabled boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three began an unforgettable holiday ride, looking at all those beautiful things. That night, Jack knew the real meaning of the words, "It’s more blessed to give than to receive." He also learned what it means to be“an elder brother like that”.
