Jack threw the papers on my desk. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said loudly. I had changed a long sentence and corrected its grammar—something I thought I was paid to do.
Several days later, he made me angry again. I went to his office, prepared to lose my job if need be, but not before I let the man know how I felt. “What ” he said nervously.
Suddenly I knew what I had to do. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. And it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. “I want to make you a promise. I will be a friend.” The next day I brought some cakes to Jack’s office. Every time I saw Jack in the hall, I smiled at him. After all, that’s what friends do.
One year after our talk, I was told that I had breast cancer. When I was in hospital, my friends tried to find the right words to say, but no one could. The last day of my hospital stay, the door opened and Jack walked over to my bed. “Tulips (郁金香),” he placed some bulbs (球茎) beside me and said, “If you plant them when you get home, you’ll be there to see them when they come up.” Tears filled my eyes.
In a moment when I prayed for just the right words, a man with few words said the right thing. After all, that’s what friends do. Now, I have seen those tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years.
4. Why did Jack throw some papers on the author’s desk
A. Because he thought her report was very bad.
B. Because he received the wrong papers from her.
C. Because he wanted her to check the papers again.
D. Because he disliked her correction without permission.

A. She would treat him like a friend. B. She would bring him some cakes.
C. She would treat him the same way. D. She would work harder from then on.
6. What did the tulip bulbs that Jack gave the author probably imply (暗示)

Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit, and why Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like (像漏斗的) model of “learning zones (区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.
In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners. They show a greater desire (渴求) for learning, which leads them to focus better and take a more active part than the rest of the class. Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel (C, D)”, which refers to the side and the back rows, where students take a less active part in classroom activities-and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times.
Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans, such as “U-Type”. There are no side and back areas, so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction (互动).
8. According to scientists, what influences students’ learning greatly
A. The time of class. B. Seating positions.
C. The number of students. D. The size of the classroom.
9. Which is the most proper area for learning
A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D.
10. What advantage do the students sitting in Area B over those in Area C&D
A Sometimes fall asleep. B. Feel safe and confident.
C. Seldom ask their teachers questions. D. Try to avoid looking directly at the teacher.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A life newspaper. B. An advertisement.
C. An education magazine. D. A science textbook.
D
Technology is widely available to students in classrooms across the United States, a new study shows. Nearly nine in ten U. S. public school students say they use digital learning (数字化学习) tools at least a few days a week. And more than half of those who were questioned said they used digital technology to learn.
In the new survey, digital learning tools means technology. It includes websites, application software programs, and online classes, games, videos and programs. The survey found that classroom technology gets high marks from educators. At least eight in ten teachers and school leaders say they see great value in using classroom technology tools now and in the future.
When it comes to preparing students for future careers (职业), the study found that educators are likely to say technology is more effective than non-digital tools for connecting learning to students’ careers.
Derek Kelley of Virginia agrees. He manages technology for Fairfax County Public Schools, which serves nearly 200,000 students. He said, “The important thing is to help prepare the students for real world experience and knowledge about technology is something students need.”
In the report, more than half of the special education teachers questioned said technology could help their students. Tony Daniel, a special education teacher, agrees with that. He teaches children with learning difficulties at the Springfield Estates Elementary School in Springfield, Virginia.
Nearly all pupils say digital learning tools are fun. Most say the technology helps them learn things on their own and at their own speed.
Almost three-fourths of secondary students say the technology tools help them learn things on their own. Over 50% said they make school more interesting. 42% would like to use it more often at school, and only 8% said they would like to use them less. One thing everyone agrees on is that technology is here to stay in American classrooms.
12. What do educators think of technology according to paragraph 3
A. It saves a lot of learning time for students.
B. It mixes education with career more effectively.
C. It offers much fun to students in learning process.
D. It makes teachers and students communicate more easily.
13. What can digital learning tools do for pupils
A. Offer them high marks. B. Force them to learn at home.
C. Speed up their physical growth. D. Help them learn with their own steps.
14. What are the figures (数字) in the last paragraph about
A. Students of different grades. B. The advantages of technology.
C. Students’ views on technology. D. The development of technology.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Technology Will Replace Traditional Teaching
B. Technology Completely Changed Our Society
C. Educators and Students Admit Technology Value
D. The Use of Technology in Teaching Is under Discussion

A GIFT FOR GRANDPA

The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ cagerly On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Harry each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs. . . How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up. ” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird. ” Harry suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head
Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane(扔杖) out of a young tree ”

Suddenly I knew what I had to do. “Jack, the way you’ve been treating me is wrong. And it’s wrong for me to allow it to continue,” I said. “I want to make you a promise. I will be a friend.” The next day I brought some cakes to Jack’s office. Every time I saw Jack in the hall, I smiled at him. After all, that’s what friends do.
One year after our talk, I was told that I had breast cancer. When I was in hospital, my friends tried to find the right words to say, but no one could. The last day of my hospital stay, the door opened and Jack walked over to my bed. “Tulips (郁金香),” he placed some bulbs (球茎) beside me and said, “If you plant them when you get home, you’ll be there to see them when they come up.” Tears filled my eyes.
In a moment when I prayed for just the right words, a man with few words said the right thing. After all, that’s what friends do. Now, I have seen those tulips push through the soil every spring for over ten years.

A. Because he thought her report was very bad.
B. Because he received the wrong papers from her.
C. Because he wanted her to check the papers again.

5. What promise did the author make to Jack

C. She would treat him the same way. D. She would work harder from then on.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是尽管作者和Jack之间有矛盾，但作者仍然把Jack当成朋友对待。后来作者患乳腺癌，Jack给作者鼓励的话让她对生活充满了希望。以此提醒我们相互尊重才会得到真诚的友谊。
【4题详解】
推理判断题，根据文章第一句“Jack threw the papers on my desk. “Next time you want to change anything, ask me first,” he said loudly. (Jack把文件扔到我桌上。“下次你想改变什么，先问我一声，”他大声说。)”以及后文的“I had changed a long sentence and corrected its grammar—something I thought I was paid to do.(我改了一个长句子，纠正了它的语法——我以为我是被雇来做这些事的。)”可知，Jack并不认同作者对他的论文的修改，认为作者未询问他就修改论文是对他的不尊重，所以才会对作者发脾气。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“I want to make you a promise. I will be a friend.( 我想向你保证。我会是你的朋友。)”可知，作者对Jack发誓会像朋友一样对待他。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“ “If you plant them when you get home, you’ll be there to see them when they come up.” Tears filled my eyes.(“如果你回家后种下它们，它们长出来的时候你就能看到它们了。”泪水充满了我的眼睛。)”可知，Jack告诉作者“回家的时候，如果你把它们都种下去，当它们发芽的时候，你就能够看见它们”，可推断这是Jack鼓励作者乐观面对困境所说的话，让作者对生活充满希望。句中的郁金香球茎比喻生活的希望。故选B项。
【7题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The next day I brought some cakes to Jack’s office. Every time I saw Jack in the hall, I smiled at him.(第二天我带了一些蛋糕到Jack的办公室。每次我在大厅里看到Jack，我都会对他微笑)”可知，作者把Jack当成朋友，每次见面都笑脸相迎，善意对待朋友。作者生病，Jack的看望与关怀，让作者感受到了朋友的尊重和善意。同时根据最后一段中“In a moment when I prayed for just the right words, a man with few words said the right thing. (正当我祈祷说句恰当的话时，一个话不多的人却说出了正确的话。)”可知，Jack主动的说出了作者心里想说的话，反映出真正的朋友之间的默契。由此推断“that’s what friends do.”表示“朋友之间应该互相尊重和善意。”故选C项。

Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit, and why Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like (像漏斗的) model of “learning zones (区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.
In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners. They show a greater desire (渴求) for learning, which leads them to focus better and take a more active part than the rest of the class. Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel (C, D)”, which refers to the side and the back rows, where students take a less active part in classroom activities-and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times.
Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans, such as “U-Type”. There are no side and back areas, so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction (互动).
8. According to scientists, what influences students’ learning greatly
A. The time of class. B. Seating positions.
C. The number of students. D. The size of the classroom.
9. Which is the most proper area for learning
A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D.
10. What advantage do the students sitting in Area B over those in Area C&D
A. Sometimes fall asleep. B. Feel safe and confident.
C. Seldom ask their teachers questions. D. Try to avoid looking directly at the teacher.
11. Where is the text probably taken from
A. A life newspaper. B. An advertisement.
C. An education magazine. D. A science textbook.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，研究发现教室里为座位安排对学生的表现有很大影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities，but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的)model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.(科学家发现，座位偏好不仅体现了学生的个性，而且对他们在学校的表现有很大的影响。一般来说，学生的态度取决于他们坐的位置，在研究的基础上，科学家们开发了一个漏斗状的“学习区域”模型，以了解座位和主动学习之间的关系。)”可知，科学家发现学生的在校表现受到座位的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In this model, the mouth of the funnel (A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners. (在这个模型中，漏斗口(A)是学习的最佳位置。这个区域的学生被证明是最活跃的学习者)”可知，A区域是最适合学习的位置。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Those in the neck of the funnel (B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them.(那些处于漏斗颈部(B)的人不会密切关注，但他们会问很多问题，部分原因是他们在一个安全区域，周围有其他人，这增加了他们的自信)”可知，由于坐在B区域的学生被其他学生环绕，因此觉得既安全又自信。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities，but has a great influence on their school performance. Generally speaking, students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的)model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.(科学家发现，座位偏好不仅体现了学生的个性，而且对他们在学校的表现有很大的影响。一般来说，学生的态度取决于他们坐的位置，在研究的基础上，科学家们开发了一个漏斗状的“学习区域”模型，以了解座位和主动学习之间的关系。)”以及全文可知，研究发现教室里的座位安排对学生的表现有很大影响。所以本文是一篇关于研究学校教育方面的文章，所以应该选择教育杂志。故选C。

考查冠词。句意：唐朝的三彩陶(彩)受到许多外国人的喜爱，已经被运往世界各地。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语all over the world，意为“世界各地”。故填the。
【42题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：早在宋代，人们就发现紫砂茶壶看起来比其他材料的茶壶优雅得多。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语As early as the Song Dynasty以及语境可知，此处讲述的宋朝的事情，所以使用一般过去时，find与主语people之间为主动关系。故填found。
【43题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：早在宋代，人们就发现紫砂茶壶看起来比其他材料的茶壶优雅得多。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，grace的形容词为graceful意为“优雅的”，根据修饰语much以及空后的than可知，此处应使用形容词的比较级。故填more graceful。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在明清时期，喜欢喝茶的人坚信紫砂壶里的茶味道更好，可以保持原来的品质。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，先行词people指人。故填who/that。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：在明清时期，喜欢喝茶的人坚信紫砂壶里的茶味道更好，可以保持原来的品质。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作介词to的宾语，believe的名词为belief意为“信仰”，其后为that引导的同位语从句，所以此处应为特指喜欢喝茶的人的一种信仰，应使用名词单数形式。故填belief。

The big day came at last. After the happy family got ready, they set out for the grandparents’ cagerly On the way, the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared. Behind the house was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa. They arrived at the driveway, at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Harry each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room, shouting excitedly “Grandpa, we are back!” Seeing his grandsons, Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain. A helpless expression flashed on his face. Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn’t stand up on his own forever. But Grandpa declared stubbornly (倔强地), “I can!” Certainly, he was stuck in his boyish way. Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time. They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation, went out and wandered into the forest. Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other, while young ones rose straight like soldiers. Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom. He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs. The trees, birds, lizards, lots of bugs. . . How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn’t get up. This made them worried. “We’d think out a way to cheer him up. ” Jack said. “Grandpa is a bird lover, and we can catch him a bird. ” Harry suggested. “But he hates birds being caged!” Jack shook his head
Then a bright idea came to Jack’s mind. “Why not make a cane(扔杖) out of a young tree ”

How precious it is!”Jack shouted, “Grandpa, we hope this cane will help you stand up and come with us to explore the woods!” Grandpa smiled at the boys and seized the cane in his right hand, trying to stand up. To their amazement, he did it! Everyone was excited to see grandpa stand up. At that moment, Jack noticed grandfather’s eyes were wet. What a wonderful gift he had ever got!
