Lisa Pina never thought she would need the fire safety training she received when she was a student learning painting. On Friday morning, she felt so thankful for having got the training.
On Thursday night, while Pina was looking after her granddaughter, nephew and two nieces in her sister’s apartment, she smelled smoke and realized the apartment building was on fire. When her 4-year-old granddaughter Garcia began saying, “we’re going to die”, she knew she had to act. Pina first closed the door, and then told all four children to lie on the floor. After calling 911, she told the children to start singing and promised them whatever they wanted to have as soon as they reached safety.
“I said, ‘OK, we’re going to lie down and we’re all going to play a game,’” Pina said. “We all started singing our ABCs and 123s. I was just trying to make it fun.”
Pina waited with patience, and a few minutes later, firefighters arrived. Pina and the children were all trapped on the second floor as flames filled the first floor.
Pina did the only thing she could. She opened the window and dropped the children, one by one, into the arms of the firefighters’ about 15-20 feet below.
“I just needed to keep the kids calm so they wouldn’t be frightened,” Pina said. “I was actually afraid inside, but I couldn’t let them know that.”
After the children was saved, firefighters rescued Pina with a ladder. Ten people were sent to hospital for suffering smoke, but nobody was seriously injured or killed.

With the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park to its east, Zhongnanhai to its south, Beihai Park, also known as Northern Sea Park, is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved ancient imperial gardenst (皇家花园) in China located in the center of Beijing.
Beihai Park is said to be built according to a traditional Chinese legend. The story is that once upon a time there were three magic mountains called “Penglai”, “Yingzhou” and “Fangzhang”. Gods in those mountains had a kind of medicine which would help humans gain immortality (永生). Consequently, many emperors constantly sought those mountains. I For example, Emperor Qin Shihuang had sent people to look for the magic mountains but they failed. Emperor Wudi, the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty did similar things.
It was believed that different mountain-water combinations in ancient Chinese architecture led to totally different effects. So from then on, almost every emperor during the succeeding dynasties would build a royal garden with one-pool-with-three-hill layout near his palace. Beihai Park was surely built after this traditional style: the water of Beihai with Zhongnanhai is the Taiye Pool; the Jade Flowery Islet, the island of the Circular City and the Xishantai Island represent the three magic mountains.
Actually, Beihai Park was initially built in the Liao Dynasty (916-1125) and was repaired and rebuilt in the following dynasties including Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. The large-scale rebuilding in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) generally established the present scale and pattern. In 1925, it was first opened to the public, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year.
It is enjoyable to walk around the various scenic areas in Beihai Park. There are many places to visit, including the Bai Ta, Five-Dragon Pavilions, Nine-Dragon Wall, Yong’an Temple and so on. There is also a classy restaurant called Fangshan Restaurant where the Empress Cixi once dined.
8. Where is Beihai Park
A. Near the ocean. B. In the south of Zhongnanhai.
C. To the west side of Jingshan Park. D. In the uptown area of Beijing City.
9. What is the similarity between Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wudi of Han according to the text
A. They loved to listen to stories. B. They both pursued immortality.
C. They were mountain-climbing lovers. D. They were the first emperor of their dynasties.
10. How old is Beihai Park
A. Less than 100 years old. B. About 500 years old.
C. About 1, 000 years old. D. Nearly 2, 000 years old.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. A famous park. B. Historical palaces.
C. An unforgettable legend. D. Ancient architectural styles.
D
A new smartwatch app alerts users who are deaf or hard of hearing of nearby sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms.
“The main motivation for the app came from my own experience, and conversations that my colleagues and I have had with deaf and hard of hearing people over several years, ”says Dhruv Jain, who presented the system, called SoundWatch.
Jain, who is hard of hearing, uses SoundWatch at home to avoid sleeping through a smoke alarm. “On a nature walk, it’ll tell me that there’s birds singing, or there might be a waterfall nearby, ” he says. “Those sounds make me feel more present and connected to the world. ”
Sound awareness apps for smartphones exist. But Jain prefers the immediacy of sound notifications on his wrist, rather than in his pocket-and surveys of people who are deaf or hard of hearing show he’s not alone.
The SoundWatch app pairs an Android smartwatch and phone. The watch records surrounding noises and sends that data to the phone for processing. When the phone finds a sound of interest, the smartwatch vibrates (振动)and displays a sign.
Jain, a computer scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle, and his colleagues designed the app to identify 20 noises. In experiments, SoundWatch correctly identified those 20 sounds 81. 2 percent of the time. When set to listen only for urgent noises-a fire alarm, door knock or alarm clock-the app was 97. 6 percent accurate. Eight deaf and hard of hearing people who used SoundWatch around a university campus gave the app broadly favorable reviews, but noted that the app misclassified some sounds in noisy outdoor settings.
Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about-a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more.
12. What inspired Jain to invent the SoundWatch
A. The desire to hear music. B. His deaf colleagues.
C. Sleeping through a smoke alarm. D. His own experience of being hard of hearing.
13. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. How the Sound Watch works. B. Why Sound Watch is invented.
C. The influence of the noises. D. The link of smartwatches and phones.
14. Which sound type can the app identify the best
A. Waterfall. B. Birds’ songs. C. A fire alarm. D. The sound of forest.
15. In which part of a newspaper is the text most likely to be found
A. Education. B. Advertisement. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.

This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.

For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____18____.
So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. ____19____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.
____20____, you’d better make a quick Google search or turn to a comprehensive book to better interact with the locals, and avoid offending them during your stay!

Today Spenser felt nervous. It was time for him to learn to spin (织) a web on his own. He had watched his mother build beautiful, soft webs from the silk she made herself. His mother’s webs were lovely. They took a long time to make, and in the morning, they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.
“OK, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “It’s time to spin your first web. Let’s begin by making a big plus sign.” Ms. Spinney was Spenser’s teacher. She was old and small but very strong. She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.
Spenser was able to make silk, but he had trouble attaching it to anything. No matter how hard he tried, the threads (丝) slipped away and fell to the ground. Spenser tried hard, but he was getting tired.
“Take a break, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “You’re trying very hard, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated (沮丧的).”
“I’m not frustrated!” said Spenser. “I’m mad that I’m not good at it, and I’m sad that I can’t do it. ”Spenser felt like he was going to cry.
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。
Ms. Spinney smiled kindly.

With the Forbidden City and Jingshan Park to its east, Zhongnanhai to its south, Beihai Park, also known as Northern Sea Park, is one of the oldest, largest and best-preserved ancient imperial gardenst (皇家花园) in China located in the center of Beijing.
Beihai Park is said to be built according to a traditional Chinese legend. The story is that once upon a time there were three magic mountains called “Penglai”, “Yingzhou” and “Fangzhang”. Gods in those mountains had a kind of medicine which would help humans gain immortality (永生). Consequently, many emperors constantly sought those mountains. I For example, Emperor Qin Shihuang had sent people to look for the magic mountains but they failed. Emperor Wudi, the fifth emperor of the Western Han Dynasty did similar things.
It was believed that different mountain-water combinations in ancient Chinese architecture led to totally different effects. So from then on, almost every emperor during the succeeding dynasties would build a royal garden with one-pool-with-three-hill layout near his palace. Beihai Park was surely built after this traditional style: the water of Beihai with Zhongnanhai is the Taiye Pool; the Jade Flowery Islet, the island of the Circular City and the Xishantai Island represent the three magic mountains.
Actually, Beihai Park was initially built in the Liao Dynasty (916-1125) and was repaired and rebuilt in the following dynasties including Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing. The large-scale rebuilding in the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) generally established the present scale and pattern. In 1925, it was first opened to the public, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world every year.
It is enjoyable to walk around the various scenic areas in Beihai Park. There are many places to visit, including the Bai Ta, Five-Dragon Pavilions, Nine-Dragon Wall, Yong’an Temple and so on. There is also a classy restaurant called Fangshan Restaurant where the Empress Cixi once dined.
8. Where is Beihai Park
A. Near the ocean. B. In the south of Zhongnanhai.
C. To the west side of Jingshan Park. D. In the uptown area of Beijing City.
9. What is the similarity between Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wudi of Han according to the text
A. They loved to listen to stories. B. They both pursued immortality.
C. They were mountain-climbing lovers. D. They were the first emperor of their dynasties.
10. How old is Beihai Park
A. Less than 100 years old. B. About 500 years old.
C. About 1, 000 years old. D. Nearly 2, 000 years old.
11. What is the text mainly about

A new smartwatch app alerts users who are deaf or hard of hearing of nearby sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms.
“The main motivation for the app came from my own experience, and conversations that my colleagues and I have had with deaf and hard of hearing people over several years, ”says Dhruv Jain, who presented the system, called SoundWatch.
Jain, who is hard of hearing, uses SoundWatch at home to avoid sleeping through a smoke alarm. “On a nature walk, it’ll tell me that there’s birds singing, or there might be a waterfall nearby, ” he says. “Those sounds make me feel more present and connected to the world. ”
Sound awareness apps for smartphones exist. But Jain prefers the immediacy of sound notifications on his wrist, rather than in his pocket-and surveys of people who are deaf or hard of hearing show he’s not alone.
The SoundWatch app pairs an Android smartwatch and phone. The watch records surrounding noises and sends that data to the phone for processing. When the phone finds a sound of interest, the smartwatch vibrates (振动)and displays a sign.
Jain, a computer scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle, and his colleagues designed the app to identify 20 noises. In experiments, SoundWatch correctly identified those 20 sounds 81. 2 percent of the time. When set to listen only for urgent noises-a fire alarm, door knock or alarm clock-the app was 97. 6 percent accurate. Eight deaf and hard of hearing people who used SoundWatch around a university campus gave the app broadly favorable reviews, but noted that the app misclassified some sounds in noisy outdoor settings.
Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about-a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more.
12. What inspired Jain to invent the SoundWatch
A. The desire to hear music. B. His deaf colleagues.
C. Sleeping through a smoke alarm. D. His own experience of being hard of hearing.
13. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about
A. How the Sound Watch works. B. Why Sound Watch is invented.
C. The influence of the noises. D. The link of smartwatches and phones.
14. Which sound type can the app identify the best
A. Waterfall. B. Birds’ songs. C. A fire alarm. D. The sound of forest.
15. In which part of a newspaper is the text most likely to be found
A. Education. B. Advertisement. C. Technology. D. Entertainment.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The main motivation for the app came from my own experience, and conversations that my colleagues and I have had with deaf and hard of hearing people over several years(开发这款应用程序的主要动机来自我自己的经历，以及我和我的同事几年来与聋人和听力较弱的人的对话)”和第三段的“Jain, who is hard of hearing (Jain,他的听力很差)”可知，Jain自己听力差的经历启发他发明SoundWatch。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“The SoundWatch app pairs an Android smartwatch and phone. The watch records surrounding noises and sends that data to the phone for processing. When the phone finds a sound of interest, the smartwatch vibrates (振动)and displays a sign. (SoundWatch应用程序将Android智能手表与手机配对。手表会记录周围的噪音，并将数据发送到手机进行处理。当手机发现感兴趣的声音时，智能手表会振动并显示一个标志)”可知，本段主要介绍了SoundWatch应用程序的工作原理。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“When set to listen only for urgent noises-a fire alarm, door knock or alarm clock-the app was 97. 6 percent accurate. (当设置为只听紧急噪音时——火警、敲门或闹钟——该应用程序的性能为97。6%的准确)”可知，该应用程序对火灾警报、敲门或闹钟的声音识别度较高。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一款名为SoundWatch的应用程序。这是一项科技发明，由此推知本文最可能来自于报纸的“科技”版面。故选C。

This skill develops as we grow older, which is called non-verbal communication.
Body language helps us communicate what we’re feeling without saying much at all. Think about a time when you were very angry.

But gestures have specific meanings across different cultures. Take touch for example. ____17____. In India, however, the ideal way to greet someone is by touching their feet, not by shaking their hand.
In some places, gestures meaning hellos and goodbyes and touches indicating friendship and love are all the same. But the problem arises because some gestures have vastly different meanings in different cultures. For example, the “OK” symbol is used as a superb symbol in India, but in Turkey, this symbol is considered offensive (冒犯性的). ____18____.
So, what should we do Should we not use gestures at all Of course not. ____19____. No matter how much we try to stop ourselves, we will end up communicating non-verbally in some way or another.

47. 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。
Spenser’s First Web
Spenser was a small black spider (蜘蛛). Like all of his brothers and sisters, he had eight legs to help him walk and run. He was now big enough to know how to move all his legs together and not trip over them. Spenser was getting bigger every day.
Today Spenser felt nervous. It was time for him to learn to spin (织) a web on his own. He had watched his mother build beautiful, soft webs from the silk she made herself. His mother’s webs were lovely. They took a long time to make, and in the morning, they were covered with drops of dew that made them look like castles.
“OK, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “It’s time to spin your first web. Let’s begin by making a big plus sign.” Ms. Spinney was Spenser’s teacher. She was old and small but very strong. She quickly used her silk to make a plus sign between two nearby leaves.
Spenser was able to make silk, but he had trouble attaching it to anything. No matter how hard he tried, the threads (丝) slipped away and fell to the ground. Spenser tried hard, but he was getting tired.
“Take a break, Spenser,” said Ms. Spinney. “You’re trying very hard, but I can see that you’re getting frustrated (沮丧的).”
“I’m not frustrated!” said Spenser. “I’m mad that I’m not good at it, and I’m sad that I can’t do it. ”Spenser felt like he was going to cry.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Ms. Spinney smiled kindly.

Spenser went back to his web making spot to see if he could do it again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Ms. Spinney smiled kindly. “That’s what being frustrated feels like, Spenser,” she explained. “It’s OK to feel that way, as long as you don’t quit trying. Rest a bit and try again after lunch.” Spenser sat down in a shady spot to eat lunch. As he chewed his food, he began to feel calmer. He took a deep breath and spun just a little thread to attach to a nearby leaf. It stuck!
Spenser went back to his web making spot to see if he could do it again. He closed his eyes and spun. This time the thread stayed where he put it on the leaves, and he was able to make his first plus sign. “Very good, Spenser!” said Ms. Spinney. “We’re out of time for today, but you can learn the next step tomorrow.” Spenser looked back at his plus sign. It wasn’t a whole web, but he didn’t care. He felt very proud.
【解析】
【导语】本文以小蜘蛛Spenser学习织第一张网为线索展开，讲述了Spenser长大了，现在开始要学会织自己的第一张网了，从Ms. Spinney教给他从织一个加号开始，Spenser很努力的去做，但是最后没有成功，他感到很生气，很伤心，觉得自己做不到。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“Ms. Spinney很和蔼地笑了笑”可知，第一段可描写Ms. Spinney如何劝慰Spenser的，Spenser听到劝慰后又是如何做的。
②由第二段首句内容“Spenser回到他制作网地点，看看他是否可以再做一次。”可知，这一段可以续写Spenser如何坚持织出加号来的，成功后的心情是什么样的。
2.续写线索：Ms. Spinney安慰Spenser————Spenser冷静下来——Spenser继续织加号——织成一根线——继续织——成功——感悟
3.词汇激活

②.深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply
