A Florida teen is gaining national attention with her graduation speech and a basket of strawberries. “Care for some strawberries ” Brenda said at her graduation from Mulberry High School. After jokingly acknowledging there might not be enough, she went on, “These are no ordinary strawberries.” She held up a series of strawberries, revealing what each represents: sweat, dirt, aches, and pains.
Brenda described herself as the daughter of two tireless farmers who immigrated from Mexico and spent most of their days working in fields of strawberries, blueberries, and cucumbers. “My motivation has been rooted in my immigrant culture.” Because of this, she chose to focus on that in her address. “Many students used to be ashamed of their upbringing but today, we’re proud of what makes us.”
She explained how she grew up under poor conditions. “I'm motivated by my parents’ hands that lose feeling from laborious work. Despite the hot sun and body pains, they back me up heart and soul in my education, which weighs more strongly with me than anything else. I must work hard and succeed.” Brenda’s heading to Stanford University this fall. She also credited some of her outstanding achievements to her teacher Higgins, who helps immigrant students and the poor.
Her speech has been viewed by thousands online. “Hearing it touched other people’s hearts who said they understood my message, I’m struck the same,” Brenda said later. The principal of Mulberry High School, Michael Young, was one member of the audience getting emotional. “The speech was very powerful—her fruit did help paint a good picture of things she wanted to convey,” Young said.
As for her message to young people struggling, Brenda said, “Past circumstances aren’t in charge of your future. If you’re from a poor family, use every resource and try to better yourself. You’re the author of your story.”
Why did Brenda bring strawberries to her graduation
To share her home-grown fruit. B. To show hardship her parents faced.
C. To better illustrate her speech’s topic. D. To explain the importance of motivators.
25. What affected Brenda most in terms of her academic success
A. Help from her teacher. B. Her life experience.
C. Her native culture. D. Support from her parents.
26. How did Brenda feel about the viewers’ response online
A. Proud. B. Sympathetic. C. Awkward. D. Moved.
27. What did Brenda convey to the young
A. Life is what you make it.
B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. Everyone deserves a good life story.
D. Resources in hand decide your future.
C
Saying farewell to someone you love, even for a night, can be difficult, much less saying goodbye for a lifetime or forever in death. Juliet bid Romeo adieu (再见) for the evening with the words, “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sweet sorrow is an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). But this seeming contradiction is true in the context of relationships.
Relationships are based on feelings, emotions, and passion. Deep friendships and loving relationships are measured by the level of emotional attachment. Emotions intensify over time. People spend time with the people they like. The more one person likes another person, the closer the relationship becomes. Each person in the relationship receives an emotional benefit from knowing the other person.
Saying goodbye means separating from the people who make up a significant part of your emotional identity. Separation, even a temporary absence, from the people you have a deep emotional connection with can cause sorrow because you will no longer be able to enjoy their company.
The sweet side of saying goodbye is the emotional fulfillment of being in a close relationship. The time spent together is emotionally rewarding, especially if that person is seen as a soulmate. Humans are social beings. We seek the love and comfort of other people. Loneliness devastates the human condition and leads to sadness. Sad people will do anything they can to find fulfilling relationships. Likewise, happy people will do anything they can to maintain or enhance relationships. Herein lies the essential point of the emotional problem.
The more intense relationships become, the more devastating the emotional loss that is felt upon separation. The exhilaration(欢欣) of relationships cannot be truly measured without experiencing the overwhelming loss of a deep emotional connection.
Enjoy the company of the person you are with as long as you can; knowing the pain you will feel at the end of the relationship is the true measure of the relationship. If it doesn’t hurt to say goodbye, perhaps it wasn’t worth saying hello.
28. Which of the word group can create the same effect as “sweet sorrow”
A. icy cold B. clicking sound
C. deafening silence D. endless speech
29. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Saying goodbye is unavoidable in our daily life.
B. The companion of close friends can lessen sorrow.
C. A person’s identity is connected with relationship.
D. Separation is the sorrowful part of saying goodbye.
30. What gives a person emotional satisfaction in social life
A. Making more communication with others.
B. Building deep emotional connections with others.
C. Comforting friends with love and intense feelings.
D. Being a thoughtful person by standing in others’ shoes.
31. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Sweet sorrow is very common in close relationships.
B. The pain of separation is the measure of relationships.
C. Human beings are eager to get emotional fulfillment.
D. Happiness is meaningless without sadness to compare it.
D
Are you patient Do you have attention to detail, free time and access to a computer Well, then a scientist might welcome your help. Researchers in the UK say it’s becoming important to count on common people to help them with their projects. They need people to examine data and submit their observations online.
British teenagers Sasha and Matthew are taking part in a study of penguins (企鹅) from the comfort of their homes. The pair look at pictures and tag (加标签于) photos identifying adults, chicks and eggs. Every click of their mouse is helping to build up a detailed picture of penguin colonies (群). They, and thousands of others, are helping scientists to understand why some colonies are growing and others are decreasing. Within the first four hours of Penguin Watch going live, “citizen scientists” marked more images than the research team did in five years.
Dr. Tom Hart, Penguin Watch Coordinator at Oxford University, says, “When you go beyond what a scientist can analyse to what a mass audience can do, then it increases beyond what any other project could do.”
The British Science Association says families are helping out with careful research. It made a difference to the Planet Hunters Project, which ran for five years. Volunteers looked at dots which showed how the brightness of a star changed at different points in its solar system.
According to Dr. Robert Simpson from Oxford University, who took part in the project, the volunteers discovered planets and these are now in published papers. He says with pride, “We can go and look at these planets with other telescopes and we know they exist because of those helpers.”
But how do scientists guard their research against accidental or deliberate mistakes in observation Dr. Simpson isn’t worried. “We get lots of people looking at the same things,” he says. The researcher warns that people who are mistakenly clicking on the site are very obvious and can be identified very quickly. So, there’s no fooling the scientists.
And to make sure things go well, the Penguin Watch paper will go through a peer review before being published. After that, every “citizen scientist” will be credited.
32. According to the passage, who will be suitable to help the scientists
A. An engineer who works in a company.
B. A university student who likes science.
C. A businessman who invests in a new project.
D. A careful teenager who uses the computer smoothly.
33. What is a volunteer required to do
A. Publish his observation data by himself.
B. Observe pictures and record his observation.
C. Discuss his observation with other volunteers.
D. Take his report to the scientist and correct mistakes.
34. How could scientists avoid mistakes in observation
A. By working with volunteers. B. By using their own data.
C. By identifying pictures and photos. D. By going through a peer review.
35. What’s Dr. Simpson’s attitude towards the volunteers’ observation
A. Objective. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize(抓住) those moments; other times, we don’t. ____36____ And what drives some people to take the moral high ground
Jessie Sun interviewed 952 people about the motivations(动机) for moral behavior and the changes they wished to make in their lives in order to become more morally good.
When we think about morals, we often think about making “personal sacrifices(牺牲)” for the greater good. In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves. ____37____ And fewer participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.
Moreover, many people believe that acting more morally—for example, being more thoughtful, more open-minded—would increase their own well-being. The more they believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they reported being encouraged to make that change. ____38____ That was the most surprising finding in the study.
____39____ Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves and others if they were honest. You can imagine that some people regularly tell white lies to save other people’s feelings, and they believe it would be hurtful if they were honest.
Researchers also asked people about the things they’d like to improve about themselves. If they’re extremely shy, they usually want to become more comfortable in social situations. But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of their lives on purpose. ____40____
A. How can we become more moral
B. So, why do we make these choices
C. Being moral just isn’t what most people consider first.
D. Being moral means different things to different people.
E. But people see some disadvantages of being moral, too.
F. In short, many people want to become more moral for their own benefits.
G. Sixteen percent said that they most wanted to become more moral for their family.

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。
The icy wind howled across the empty street and it was an unusually quiet day in the emergency room on December 25th. Quiet, that is, except for the nurses who were standing around the nurses' station complaining about having to work on Christmas Day, for people were supposed to be spending time with their families, exchanging gifts and wishes.
I was guiding nurse that day and had just done clean-up in the waiting room. Since there were no patients waiting to be seen at the time, I returned to the nurses' station for a cup of hot coffee that someone had brought in for Christmas. Just then, a colleague came back and told me I had five patients waiting to be evaluated.
I was surprised, “Five, how did I get five; I was just out there and no one was in the waiting room.”
“Well, there are five signed in.”
So I went straight out and called the first name. Five bodies showed up at my guiding desk, a pale short woman and four small children in untidy clothing.
“Are you all sick ” I asked suspiciously.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
“Okay,” I replied, unconvinced, “Who' s first ” One by one they sat down, and I asked the usual beginning questions. When it came to the descriptions of their symptoms, things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough, but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong with the picture. Our hospital policy, however, was not to turn away any patient, so we would see them. When I explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her because there were several more critical patients. She responded, “Take your time; it's warm in here and there is a Christmas 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。
Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】17. C 18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】I live on an island off the west coast of Scotland. I love it but a trip to the cinema means a 55-minute boat journey plus a half-hour drive to the nearest town. That’s why we all get excited about the Screen Machine. It’s a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands. Sometimes we get to see the latest movies.
You can’t miss the huge, bright blue Screen Machine when it comes into the car park. It takes an hour to change it into a comfortable, air-conditioned 80-seat cinema. It’s amazing.
I really admire the Screen Machine’s driver. Of course, he shows the movies. And there is always another person selling tickets. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for the truck’s motors so they also need a mechanic.
Ticket prices are very reasonable, so as soon as the Screen Machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the Screen Machine website, which makes it even more convenient. And that’s the way most people choose now. It’s an amazing service.

36-40【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们决定变得有道德背后的动机。
【16题详解】
前文“Every day, we face a series of opportunities to do the right thing. Sometimes we seize(抓住) those moments; other times, we don’t.(每天,我们都面临着一系列做正确事情的机会。有时我们会抓住这些时刻;其他时候,我们不会。)”提到了有的时候我们会抓住机会做正确的事情,而有的时候则不会。后文“And what drives some people to take the moral high ground (是什么驱使一些人走上道德高地?)”提出了对这种情况的另一个疑问。由此可知,空处应是对前文所述情况提出的疑问,B项“那么,我们为什么会做出这些决定?”符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
前文“In Sun’s study, she found that nearly half of the participants said they were most encouraged to become more moral for themselves.(在孙的研究中,她发现近一半的参与者表示,他们最受鼓励的是为自己变得更有道德。)”讲述了近一半参与者想为自己变得有道德。后文“And fewer participants said that they most wanted to benefit friends and people in general.(更少的参与者表示,他们最想让朋友和普通人受益。)”讲述了较少的参与者想为朋友和普通人变得有道德。空处应承上启下,讲述参与者为其他原因而变得有道德,G项“16%的人表示,他们最想为自己的家庭变得更有道德。”符合题意。故选G。
【18题详解】
前文“The more they believed that their moral change would have positive results for themselves, the more they reported being encouraged to make that change.(他们越是相信自己的道德改变会给自己带来积极的结果,他们就越是被鼓励做出这种改变。)”讲述了相信道德上的改变会给自己带来积极的结果会让人们有动力去改变,空处应进一步对这种行为进行评价,F项“简言之,许多人想要为了让自己受益而变得更有道德。”符合题意。故选F。
【19题详解】
空处是本段主旨句。根据下文中的“Interestingly, participants generally expected possible harms to themselves and others if they were honest.(有趣的是,参与者通常认为,如果他们诚实的话,可能会对自己和他人造成伤害。)”可知,有道德可能会产生伤害,所以E项“但人们也看到了道德的一些弊端。”符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“But if they aren’t especially honest or thoughtful, they usually won’t improve those aspects of their lives on purpose.(但如果他们不是特别诚实或体贴,他们通常不会故意改善生活的这些方面。)”可知,人们不会有意去改善自己道德上的不足,空处应承接上文,对上文进一步进行说明,C项“道德并不是大多数人首先考虑的。”符合题意。故选C。

Dear Peter,
Have you adapted to the new environment in our city I’m writing to invite you to enjoy a show which will be hosted by our school. And the detailed information is as follows.
In order to enrich our school life and promote Chinese traditional culture, a Hanfu performance will be held in the hall of our school on 25, September. It will be a great show played by many students dressed in Hanfu. In my opinion, it will be certainly a visual feast. It is a good idea for you to surf the Internet for the introductions to Hanfu especially those in the Tang Dynasty, because it will help you appreciate the show.
Are you available on that day I’m sure you will have a good time. Looking
forward to your early reply.
Yours, Li Hua

Then she turned and, with a smile, settled her kids in the waiting room. Though warm, it was uncomfortable for children, who nestled closely by the Christmas tree. The youngest kid was staring at gifts on the tree, exclaiming something to her mother. Unfortunately, she was met with refusal, which failed her to hold back tears. Guilty and upset, great sorrow clouded the mother. The rest froze, with eyes falling on their little sister. Realizing they were homeless, I went back and told my colleagues what had happened.
My colleagues, complaining about working Christmas, turned to sympathy for the homeless family. Soon we were busy preparing presents for our unexpected guests, who just wanted to stay warm on Christmas Day.With gifts in hand, the kids were wild with joy. A flush of happiness filled the waiting room and we were able to locate a shelter that would take the family in. As they were leaving, the mother hugged each us and whispered, "You're our angels and it's your love warms us up! As they disappeared into the far distance gradually, a strong sense of satisfaction poured into my mind. While I didn’t celebrate the festival with my loved ones, I extended warmth to the homeless family. Sometimes, only a little kindness can light something shining, making the world more beautiful and harmonious.
