When Zhu Caiping,73,was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment(认知障碍) three years ago, she found that anxiety, depression and even looking down on herself became normal in her life. It was not until last year, after she participated in a reality show and became a restaurant server, that her situation began to improve dramatically.
The restaurant in Shanghai where she works is the Forget Me Not Café. It shares the goal of providing job opportunities for elderly people who have Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive impairments.
“I provide basic services for guests, such as pouring water, serving and taking orders. I can now remember all the dishes on the menu, ” said Zhu, who has come to the restaurant three times a week since February and works three hours a day. “The colleagues take good care of us. They never allow us to deliver hot dishes such as soups. The guests are also very tolerant of us, because sometimes we make mistakes.”
Because of memory loss, Zhu writes down all the information she wants to remember on sticky notes, such as the names of the volunteers and teacher as well as English words.
“People with cognitive impairment actually refuse and fear to communicate with society, but this will worsen their condition.＂She added，“With the deterioration（退化）of brain function, they may gradually lose memory and the ability to take care of themselves and might even see the loss of emotions. ” In addition to the job opportunities for the elderly, information about cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease is posted on a board outside the restaurant to help people recognize symptoms and seek treatment as soon as possible.
As China faces an aging population, the increasing number of seniors with cognitive impairment has become a significant social issue. “We should feel lucky that the whole of society is concerned about the seniors, especially for people like us. The neighborhood committee always checks on our situation and watches for other elderly people with symptoms.” Zhu said.
24.What can we know about Zhu Caiping
A. She is a pop star performing at a live show.
B. She is suffering from severe cognitive impairment.
C. She is a full-time restaurant server in a Shanghai café.
D. She makes efforts to be equal to the job.
25.According to the passage, how might people with cognitive impairment often feel
A. Understanding and cheerful. B. Angry and violent.
C. Forgetful and upset. D. Delighted and energetic.
26.Information about cognitive impairment is posted outside the restaurant to_____.
A. make more people know something about cognitive impairment.
B. seek donation from the citizens around the restaurant.
C. offer more job opportunities to the elderly suffering from the disease.
D. provide treatment for people who has cognitive impairment.
27.Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Life Story of Zhu Caiping B. Cognitive Impairment
C. Forget Me Not D. Fighting a Terrible Disease
C
Splash (落水声)! Did you hear that Can you guess what it is Can you figure it out If you guessed the ocean then you’re correct! I believe that my organization, Reef Check, is the most worthy of receiving the Chocolate Heart money. Do you want to know why Well, soon you’ll find out.
First of all, Reef Check needs the money to repair and clean coral reefs (珊瑚礁) which are home to millions of sea animals. Reef Check hopes to educate the public about the value of reef ecosystems (生态系统) and the danger that sea animals and plants are facing. Based in Los Angeles, Reef Check has volunteer teams in more than 90 countries, making community volunteers, businesses, universities, and other non-profit organizations work together. It works to create a worldwide network of volunteer teams trained in Reef Check’s scientific methods that survey coral and rocky reefs and report on reef health. Also, Reef Check takes action to protect remaining ancient reefs and repair reefs in danger worldwide.
For example, imagine you are a poor sea animal, whose home just got destroyed or wasn’t clean. What would you do What could you do Nothing much, really. But that’s exactly Reef Check’s job! To clean and protect these homes for many sea animals!
Furthermore, in 1997, Reef Check carried out the first-ever survey of coral reef health that provided scientific evidence that our coral reefs were in danger because of overfishing, illegal fishing, and pollution. The results surprised many biologists who had not realized the seriousness of human influence on reefs. In August 2002, Reef Check presented its report, The Global Coral Reef Crisis - Trends and Solutions, at the World Summit in South Africa. The report warned that there was no reef in the world that remained untouched by human influence, such as overfishing, pollution, and climate change.
In short, everyone should have a home including animals from the sea. So don’t leave them out! Be generous and give them a home!
28. According to the passage, Reef Check is_____.
A. a team of scientists B. a non-profit organization
C. an official department D. a profitable company
29. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A Reefs are disappearing at a fast speed.
B. All sea animals are living on reefs.
C. Reefs are damaged or polluted by humans.
D. Reefs are protected well by governments.
30. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Reefs facing danger. B. Humans protecting reefs.
C. Sea animals living on reefs. D. Organizations doing research.
31. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To explain why Reef Check needs support.
B. To introduce a dangerous but important job.
C. To describe what Reef Check is.
D. To educate the public to care for the environment.
D
When was the last time you listened to someone And when was the last time someone really listened to you I asked people what it meant to be a good listener. The typical response was a blank stare. People had no trouble, however, telling me what it meant to be a bad listener.
Of course, technology plays a role. Social media helps filter out (滤掉) opposing views. People find phone calls disturbing and ignore voice mail, preferring text or wordless emoji. But tech is not the only blame. High schools and colleges rarely, if ever, offer classes or activities that teach careful listening. Traffic noise on city streets and music playing in shops exceed (超过) the volume of normal conversation by as much as 30 decibels (分贝), and can even cause hearing loss.
So how can we recover the lost art of listening After years of studying and consulting, I discovered that listening goes beyond simply hearing what people say. It also involves paying attention to how they say it and what they do while they are saying it, in what context, and how what they say resonates (与. . . 共鸣) within you. It’s not about merely holding your peace while someone are talking. Quite the opposite. A lot of listening has to do with how you respond — the degree to which you assist in the clear expression of the other person’s thoughts and in the process, express your own.
Good listeners ask good questions. Good questions don’t begin with “Wouldn’t you agree... ” or “Don’t you think… ” and they definitely don’t end with “right ” The idea is to explore the other person’s point of view, not sway it. It is not right to put your own thought into others’ head. You also want to avoid asking people personal and evaluating questions. Instead, ask about people’s interests so that they feel more connected than if they spend time together finishing a task.
The reward of good listening will almost certainly be more interesting conversations. Attentive listeners receive more information, related details from the speakers, even when the listeners didn’t ask any questions. We are, each of us, the sum of what we attend to in life. And to listen poorly, selectively or not at all limits your understanding of the world and prevents you from becoming the best you can be.
32. Which of the following is right according to the passage
A. People now prefer text messages to phone calls.
B. Listening skills are widely taught at school.
C. The noise around us is the main reason for bad listening.
D. Technology improves people’s listening art.
33. What does the author find about listening
A. Listening requires the listener to keep in total silence.
B. Listening combines hearing, understanding and responding.
C. Listening isn’t just hearing but also predicting questions.
D. Listening is to put your thoughts into other person’s mouth.
34. What does the underlined word “sway” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Prove. B. Stop. C. Influence. D. Complain.
35 Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. Good listeners should express themselves bravely.
B. Good listeners always receive reward from the speakers.
C. Good listening develops people’s interest in private life.
D. Good listening promotes our understanding of the world.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost. Because it’s not what the world takes away from you that counts; it’s what you do with what you have left. 36
Pain is part of growing.
Sometimes life closes doors because it’s time to move forward. That’s a good thing because we often won’t move unless life forces us to. When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. 37 When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.
Everything in life is temporary.
Every time you get hurt, you heal. After darkness there is always light – you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever. It won’t. 38
Complaining changes nothing.
39 It’s always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed. It’s not over if you’ve lost; it’s over when you do nothing but complain about it. If you believe in something, keep trying. Don’t let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
40
Don’t be afraid to get back up----to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again. Don’t let a hard lesson harden your heart. Life’s best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes. There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. And even if you fall short, keep going.
A. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least.
B. Getting help from others is necessary.
C. The best thing you can do is to keep going.
D. Nothing lasts forever.
E. Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you.
F. Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
G. When you feel like quitting, remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.

第二节 读后续写（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，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Mrs. Miller was our next-door neighbor. Her husband died two years ago. She had no children and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and my sister Laurel and I considered her our special friend.
One December, Mrs. Miller was ill in hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we wondered what to make for Mrs. Miller. We couldn’t bear seeing her come home before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. Then we lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared.
I was in Miss Johnson’s sixth grade class that year, and we decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments(装饰物) we’d made in art class. It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation.
Miss Johnson said there would be a drawing(抽签) for the tree. We’d each write our name on a piece of paper and put it in the box she had prepared. On the last day of school before vacation, she’d draw a name from the box, and that student could take the tree home.
Great! That was exactly what I was longing for! So I wrote my name “Helen Wheeler” neatly on a piece of paper and folded it carefully. As I put it into the box, I whispered to Miss Johnson that I really hoped I’d win the tree because my sister and I wanted to give it to our neighbor who was sick and lonely. Though there were 30 children in the class and each might win the tree, I was somehow certain that I would get it because our cause was good: We wanted to make Mrs. Miller happy.
The day before vacation finally arrived. Laurel and I usually walked to and from school, but that day I persuaded Mom to pick us up in her car after school in case I really got the tree.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Before school was over, Miss Johnson announced it was time for the drawing.

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How are you recently
I’m wring to tell you about our school’s labor course. To form the students’ correct view of labor, colorful labor programs are open every week. We can help plan vegetables or feed chickens in the school-run farm. Besides, students are also encouraged to participate in community service and voluntary work.
Most of us are fascinated by the course because it offers an alternative to our busy school life. Not only are we relaxed but we have gained a higher moral value on life.
Yours,
Li Hua

One Possible Version:
Before school was over, Miss Johnson announced it was time for the drawing. My heart beat fast as Miss Johnson put her hand into the box and drew one folded piece of paper out. Then she unfolded the paper, looked at it and announced. “Helen has won the tree!” I was beside myself with excitement! And I’ll never forget the astonishment on my mother’s face as my sister and I carried the tree to her car. Since Mom had a key to Mrs. Miller’s house, we took the tree straight to her living room and set it up on a table. It looked so beautiful!
The next evening we welcomed Mrs. Miller back at her door. She slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights, greeted by the sparkling Christmas tree. Mrs. Miller was rooted to the spot, looking surprised. Then a sweet smile appeared on her face and tears welled up in her eyes. “Thank you so much. ” she said softly. While Laurel and I were excitedly telling the story to our parents, it suddenly dawned on me that Miss Johnson had helped me in a secret way: Though she had announced my name, she never showed anyone what was written on that piece of paper!
