A
Here are 5 actions you can take to make a difference to our environment.
1. Use fewer napkins.
The next time you’re eating, don’t take a bunch of napkins when you need only one. If every American used an average of one less napkin every day, it would prevent the use of more than a billion pounds of napkins — enough to fill the Empire State Building — from ending up in landfills. Use fewer napkins, and you’ll cut down on waste.
2. Think before flushing.
Don’t flush wastefully. By avoiding just one flush a day, you could save about 4.5 gallons of water. That’s as much water as the average person in Africa uses to bathe, drink, clean, and cook for an entire day.
3. Avoid wasting food.
Eat Thanksgiving leftover-Don’t let them spoil. If every US household reduced food waste by the weight of.one slice of bread, the money saved would be enough to pay for three meals a day for a year for every homeless child in the U.S.
4. Kick off the shoes
Leave your shoes at the door when you come into your home. Unwanted fertilizers, lead, and poisonous cleaners found on outdoor surfaces can hitch a ride on your shoes and track through your house.
5. Save energy
When you go out, try to use public transport. If you close the bathroom door when you take a bath, you will keep the room warmer, Your bath water’s heat stays trapped in the bathroom. The water also stays hotter and longer, so you don’t need to add more hot water. Save energy: Close the door.
21．Suppose you and your parents all reduce one flush a day, how much water will be saved
A．About 9 gallons of water. B．About 14 gallons of water.
C．About 16 gallons of water. D．About 11 gallons of water.
22．What do the underlined words “hitch a ride” mean in the passage
A．Be stuck. B．Ride on you. C．Follow you. D．Visit you.
23．What’s the main idea of this passage
A．Save energy can help to save money.
B．Wasting is shameful.
C．One can use some ways to protect the environment.
D．You may make a bigger difference than others.
B
Many teachers believe frequent quizzes(小测验) help students better grasp classroom material. Crede, an associate professor of psychology, was skeptical that something as simple as a quiz could positively affect students’ academic performance. He decided to dig deeper and conduct an analytic study of existing research to see if there was any proof to the idea. What he discovered truly surprised him.
Crede analyzed data from previously published studies that examined 52 classes with almost 8,000 students, primarily college-level courses, to determine if frequent quizzes improved the students’ academic performance. Laboratory settings were kept out of the study because Crede wanted to observe whether similar studies from labs would apply to general classrooms.
Crede discovered that when students are quizzed over class material at least once a week, they tend to perform better on midterm and final exams compared to students who did not take quizzes. He also found that students who took frequent quizzes were less likely to fail the class, especially if they were struggling with the course content. Students who struggle the most in a class seem to benefit the greatest from frequent quizzes. The other surprising thing was how much quizzes helped reduce failure rates in classes. The chances of passing a class went through the roof where instructors used this. In addition to quiz frequency, another factor that seemed to positively affect students’ performance was immediate feedback from instructors. Also, quizzes that required students to answer with written responses proved more beneficial to their understanding of class material compared to multiple-choice questions.
Asking teachers to grade written quizzes daily or weekly may discourage some from carrying them out in their classes. Instead, it is recommended that instructors give online quizzes that can be automatically graded by a course management system. Quiz attributes(属性) proved insignificant in the study, including whether the tests were pop quizzes or planned, or if they were online or on paper.
24．What did Crede do to ensure his study’s accuracy
A．He focused on what happened in classrooms.
B．He researched as many students as he could.
C．He made laboratory settings as real as possible.
D．He gave easy quizzes to make every student do well.
25．What did Crede discover in his study
A．Frequent quizzes could remove students’ failure in classes.
B．Instructors’ feedback was more important than frequent quizzes.
C．Frequent quizzes were especially useful to the struggling students.
D．Multiple-choice questions shouldn’t be included in frequent quizzes.
26．What may be a disadvantage of frequent quizzes for teachers
A．Accessing the Internet less frequently.
B．Having too many exam papers to mark.
C．Being unable to get appropriate test materials.
D．Finding it hard to choose the right type of quiz.
27．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Quizzes Stimulate a Passion for Creation B．Quizzes Improve Academic Performance
C．Quizzes Create a Heavy Burden D．Quizzes Increase Boredom
C
The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. Winter Solstice (冬至), the 22nd solar term of the year, begins this year on Dec 21.
On the first day of Winter Solstice, the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year, as the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn (南回归线). From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year.
There was a saying in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as significant as the Spring Festival.”
As early as the Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256BC), people worshipped the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, which also was the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD). The celebratory activities were officially organized. On this day, both officials and common people would have a rest.
During subsequent dynasties, such as the Tang (618-907), Song (960-1279) and Qing dynasties (1644-1911), the Winter Solstice was a day to offer sacrifices to Heaven and to ancestors.
During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is essential to the festival. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.” People in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, are accustomed to eating wontons in midwinter. In places such as Shanghai, people eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour, to celebrate Winter Solstice. In Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, people call midwinter the “Ghost Festival”. On that day, it is customary for people there to drink mutton and vermicelli soup and eat the dumplings in the soup. They give the midwinter soup a strange name “brain” and share it with their neighbors. During the Winter Solstice, Hangzhou residents traditionally eat rice cakes. In some regions south of the Yangtze River on the first day of Winter Solstice, the whole family gets together to have a meal made of red bean and glutinous rice to drive away ghosts and other evil things.
28．Which of the following is TRUE about Winter Solstice
A．The days are the shortest and the nights are the longest in the world.
B．The nights become longer after Winter Solstice in southern hemisphere.
C．The days become shorter after Winter Solstice in northern hemisphere.
D．The coldest season is approaching.
29．In ancient China, the Winter Solstice Festival ________.
A．originated from the Zhou Dynasty
B．was also the first day of the Spring Festival
C．was a day to worship the gods and ancestors
D．was a holiday for people to have a rest in Song dynasty
30．These are the traditional foods to celebrate the Winter Solstice except ________.
A．wontons and tangyuan B．mutton and vermicelli soup
C．peanuts and hazelnuts. D．rice cakes
31．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A．Winter Solstice in North China. B．The beginning of Winter Solstice.
C．Different customs of Winter Solstice. D．Reasons for eating dumplings in Winter Solstice.

“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to accomplish so much ”Queen Victoria of England asked Helen Keller.
Ms Keller answered,“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”
In fact,“Little Annie”, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself（due to a childhood fever）and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly“insane（精神错乱的）”and locked in the basement of a mental institution. On occasion, Little Annie would even violently attack anyone who came near.
An elderly nurse believed there was hope, and she made it her mission（使命）to show love to the child. She still continued to visit for she believed Little Annie could recover, if she was shown love.
Eventually, doctors noticed a change in the girl.Where they witnessed anger and coldness they noted gentleness and love. They moved her to the upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly“hopeless”child was released.
Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she, herself, was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined（训练）her,played with her and worked with her until the weak candle became a beacon of light to the world. She worked wonders in Helen's life, but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate（充满同情心）teacher.
If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown. But if ithad not been for a kind and devoted nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown. And so it goes. And how far forward will it lead
32．When she was young, Little Annie ______________ .
A．enjoyed being locked in the basement
B．complained about her loneliness
C．showed her friendly attitude to others
D．suffered from mental illness
33．Why did the“hopeless”Little Annie change into a helpful one
A．Because an efficient way was found by doctors to cure her illness.
B．Because a nurse who was concerned about her helped her constantly.
C．Because she was taken good care of by her relatives.
D．Because the illness was defeated by her own strong will.
34．How did Anne Sullivan help Helen Keller
A．She devoted all her time to dealing with everything for Helen Keller.
B．She promised Helen Keller she would never leave her.
C．She trained Helen Keller to control her behaviour.
D．She encouraged Helen Keller to make friends with others.
35．Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A．A caring nurse B．Chain of love
C．Without respect without success D．No pain, no gain

根据下面短文，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。
You don’t have to break your back to create a yard that’s both beautiful and kind to Mother Nature. These environmentally smart ideas will turn your home turf(草地)into a little slice of Eden. 36
Let the grass grow. Cut grass less often, so it gets a few inches longer than you’re used to. 37 That’s because roots will grow deeper and grass thicker, which means fewer pests, less disease, and a decreased need for chemical intervention.
Water the grass right way. Water before 10 a. m. , when the air is cool and not as much moisture will be lost to evaporation. 38 Water near the base of plants, slowly delivering the good stuff right to the roots. For lawns, water long and deep once a week.
Get keen on composting(制堆肥). Compost isn’t called gardener’s gold for nothing. It keeps kitchen leftover out of landfills and enriches soil with much-needed nutrients. 39 Veggie and tea bags, eggshells, dry leaves, and untreated grass clippings are all fair game.
40 Honeybees help pollinate(授粉) 75 percent of our flowering plants and nearly 75 percent of our food crops. There is increasing evidence that many of the vital pollinators are in decline. Creating a garden that includes plants that flower at different times of the year will benefit pollinators throughout the growing season. Whenever possible, choose native plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes.
A．Many will save your money, too.
B．Dry leaves add nutrients to the soil.
C．Give bees the green-carpet treatment.
D．Make the backyard as beautiful as possible.
E．Watering in late afternoon is the next best option.
F．It also reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers.
G．It will help it survive dry periods of time in warmer months.

I’ll never forget an old lady, 57 lives in a small house alone. It’s said that her husband and her son 58 (die) in a road accident years ago. Her life is bitter, but she often helps others with a smile. Whenever it snows, she is always the first 59 (clean) the paths.
She looks after several children 60 (live) nearby. Perhaps she is unlucky, but I think she is a happy person. Her life is full of 61 (laugh) and love.
But I’m sad to see some people getting their happiness in bad ways. They talk 62 (noise) in cinemas and meeting rooms; they destroy trees to enjoy 63 (they) and they laugh at others’ shortcomings.

Dad nodded and agreed to do it, knowing that the conversation would soon be forgotten.
Three years ago. Snoopy passed away, My dad. Aunt Carol and Uncle Ed thought of ways to ensure that Grandma Agnes would know that Snoopy was gone, They had burial service in the back yard with Grandma. Uncle Ed printed a picture of Snoopy with “Rest in Peace” written across the bottom and stuck it to the refrigerator, But on the daily visits. Grandma Agnes still asked about Snoopy, She accused the neighbors of taking her dog because she was sure that she heard bin barking from their yard.
Having a family member with dementia is heartbreaking and trying. For every visit I've made in the past five years, my dad has made a point to tell me that she probably won't remember who I am nor that my kids are her great grandchildren, I've sat through conversations where we patiently repeated answers to questions that were answered a few moment sago. Grandma Agnes is still there. and she's still her stubborn self. but she doesn't grasp the world around her, And yet she insists on living independently and asking about Snoopy constantly.

W: Once upon a time, there was a farm with chickens, rabbits, cows, and even a dog. One day, a little rabbit found a hole in the fence, and he decided to see what was on the other side. He found a small river and saw a fish swimming in it. He asked the fish if swimming was fun, and the fish said that he liked it. Then a duck flew over and landed in the water. The little rabbit asked the duck if swimming was fun. The duck said that he liked it. So, the rabbit decided to try it for himself, and he jumped into the water.
But the little rabbit didn’t know how to swim. He tried his hardest, but it was too difficult and he got scared. The fish couldn’t help him and the duck flew away. But suddenly, the dog from the farm jumped in and pulled the little rabbit out of the water. "I think we’d better go home," said the dog. The rabbit thanked the dog and promised never to leave the farm again.
21．B 22．A 23．C
21．细节理解题。根据第3段的“By avoiding just one flush a day, you could save about 4.5 gallons of water.(通过避免一天一次冲洗，你可以节省大约4.5加仑的水)”可知，一个人可以“ save about 4.5 gallons of water.”那么本题三个人所节省的水，就是3乘以4.5等于13.5，因为是“ about”，所以选择B项，数字14最接近。故选B。
22．词句猜测题。根据第5段内容“Leave your shoes at the door when you come into your home. Unwanted fertilizers, lead, and poisonous cleaners found on outdoor surfaces can hitch a ride on your shoes and track through your house.( 当你走进你的家时，把你的鞋子放在门口。 在户外地面上可以被发现的不必要的肥料、铅和有毒清洁剂可以hitch a ride在你的鞋子上，进入你的房子)”可知，进屋前把鞋子放在门外，以免不必要的肥料，铅和有毒的清洁剂进入室内，那些东西自然是在外面鞋底粘回来的。故划线部分与A项“被粘贴”意思相近。故选A项。
23．主旨大意题。文章第一段就点明了主题“to make a difference to our environment.(对环境做出影响)”，其他部分仅仅是不同方面的措施。由此推断，本文主要讲述了人们可以用一些方法来保护环境。故选C项。
24．A 25．C 26．B 27．B
24．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Laboratory settings were kept out of the study because Crede wanted to observe whether similar studies from labs would apply to general classrooms.”（实验环境被排除在研究之外，因为Crede想要观察从实验室进行的类似研究是否适用于普通教室。）可知，为确保实验的准确性，Crede排除了实验室环境下的研究资料，而关注学生在课堂上的表现。故选A项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“students who took frequent quizzes were less likely to fail the class, especially if they were struggling with the course content”（ 经常参加测验的学生不及格的可能性更小，尤其是在他们纠结于课程内容的时候）以及“Students who struggle the most in a class seem to benefit the greatest from frequent quizzes. ”（在课堂上挣扎得最厉害的学生，似乎也能从频繁的测验中获益最多。）可知，频繁的小测验尤其让学习有困难的学生受益。故选C项。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Asking teachers to grade written quizzes daily or weekly may discourage some from carrying them out in their classes.”可知，要求老师每天或每周给笔试打分，会让一些老师不愿在课堂上再去批阅，因此推断因为那样的话，需要批改的作业就太多了，工作量太大了，这是一课堂测验的不利之处。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一自然段中“He decided to dig deeper and conduct an analytic study of existing research to see if there was any proof to the idea.”（他决定深入挖掘，并对现有的研究进行分析研究，看看是否有任何证据证明这一观点。）和“Crede discovered that when students are quizzed over class material at least once a week, they tend to perform better on midterm and final exams compared to students who did not take quizzes.”（Crede发现，当学生每周至少接受一次课堂材料的测验时，他们在期中和期末考试中的表现往往比没有参加测验的学生更好。）可知，本文主要讲述了Crede经过研究证明经常进行小测验会对学生成绩有积极的影响，故B项“小测验可以提高学习成绩”最适合作文章的标题。故选B项。

In places such as Shanghai, people eat tangyuan, a kind of stuffed small dumpling ball made of glutinous rice flour, to celebrate Winter Solstice. In Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, people call midwinter the “Ghost Festival”. On that day, it is customary for people there to drink mutton and vermicelli soup and eat the dumplings in the soup. They give the midwinter soup a strange name “brain” and share it with their neighbors. During the Winter Solstice, Hangzhou residents traditionally eat rice cakes. In some regions south of the Yangtze River on the first day of Winter Solstice, the whole family gets together to have a meal made of red bean and glutinous rice to drive away ghosts and other evil things.(江苏苏州人习惯在隆冬吃馄饨。在上海等地，人们会吃汤圆来庆祝冬至。汤圆是一种用糯米粉做成的馅团。在宁夏银川，人们把冬至称为“鬼节”。在那一天，那里的人们习惯喝羊肉粉丝汤，吃汤里的饺子。他们给冬至汤起了一个奇怪的名字“脑”，并与邻居分享。冬至期间，杭州居民有吃年糕的传统。在长江以南的一些地区，在冬至的第一天，全家人聚在一起吃一顿红豆糯米饭，以驱除鬼魂和其他邪恶的东西。)”可知，选项C“peanuts and hazelnuts.(花生和榛子。)”不是冬至的传统食物。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“During Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is essential to the festival. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.” People in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, are accustomed to eating wontons in midwinter.

67．A few months ago, Uncle Ed came up with a good idea and bought a robotic dog for Grandma Agnes. It has soft fur and barks when it senses motion nearby. Grandma quickly adopted the dog as her new Snoopy. Her condition has led her to believe that he is an animal and not a robot. She got used to Snoopy's barks and regarded them as requests for food or a nap. The food disappearing every night helped convince Grandma that Snoopy was a real dog. We found from the camera that the neighbor cat climbed over the fence and ate all the dog food.
Everyone in our family is pleased that Grandma Agnes has been so kind to Snoopy. She would pet him gently and carefully prepare food and water for him. Once, when the dog didn't move, eat and bark, she anxiously phoned Uncle Ed. She was afraid Snoopy was ill, Uncle Ed found he just needed changing battery. Our family is grateful that the robotic dog has brought Grandma Agnes companionship and someone to love. It's beautiful that her love of dogs can continue through this time in her life.
