Benjamin Spock was a famous doctor for children. He completed his medical degree at Columbia University in New York City and began to treat babies and children in 1933. During the next ten years he continued to fit the theories about how children develop with what mothers told him about their children. What he found gave birth to his first book The Common Sense Book of Baby and Child Care.
Before Dr. Spock’s book appeared, the most popular guide to raising children was Psychological Care of Infant and Child, whose writer was John B. Watson. He urged extreme firmness in dealing with children. The book warned parents never to kiss, hug or physically comfort their children.
Dr. Spock’s book was very different. He gave gentle advice to ease the fears of new parents. Dr. Spock said his work was an effort to help parents trust their own natural abilities in caring for their children. He emphasized that parents’ “natural loving care” for their children is most important.
Dr. Spock based much of his advice on the research and findings of the famous Austrian psychoanalyst (精神分析学家) Sigmund Freud. “I was interested in how children grow emotionally. And I think Freud has given us a very good explanation of development. ”
Dr. Spock’s book discusses the mental and emotional development of children. It urges parents to use that information to decide how to deal with their babies when they are crying, hungry or tired. For example, Dr. Spock dismissed the popular idea of exactly timed feedings for babies. Baby care experts had believed that babies must be fed at the same times every day or they would grow up to be demanding children.
Dr. Spock said babies should be fed when they are hungry. He argued that babies know better than anyone about when and how much they need to eat. He did not believe that feeding babies when they cry in hunger would make them more demanding.
750, 000 copies of the book were sold during the year after its release.

B. Parents should warn babies of danger.
C. Parents should follow Watson’s opinions.
D. Parents should feed babies when necessary.
7. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. An introduction to Spock and his book.
B. Stories about Spock as a famous doctor.
C. Differences between two baby care books.
D. Influences of Spock’s book on other experts.
C
The mushrooming video screens in buses, taxis and apartment halls in cities like Shanghai are taking away our already rare resource: a place for a moment of peace. Taking a nap or reading a book on buses is less pleasant now, as the LCD screens broadcast news, entertainment and advertisements at unbearable volumes.
You pay the bus fare simply to get a ride—undisturbed—but now you are exposed to this “added value”, whether you like it or not. If it’s a crowded bus, the noise is even more exasperating. More and more Chinese cities have joined Shanghai, regarded as the first to put video screens on buses, disturbing millions of passengers.
Some may like to watch programme aired on buses or in apartment halls. But those who don’t should be equally respected. Because of the bus screens, students cannot focus on reviewing their lessons or preparing for a test. People who like to read or reflect feel unsettled by the noise. Youngsters who like to listen to music on their iPods must increase the volume to fight against the competing audio. If you already feel stressed after a busy day, the bus video advertising certainly increase the tension of both your muscles and nervous system. Bus drivers are surely the worst victims because they have to bear it at least eight hours a day, non-stop.
A high public tolerance for noise pollution has helped bus video advertisers to expand their businesses. But opposition has already started to make its voice heard. Some people have already accused bus companies of breaking their contracts, since their obligation is only to deliver passengers to their destinations.
Shanghai, as a world-class city, should set an example for the country. It should first adopt world-class behavior in its massive public transportation system to return the public a peaceful place.
8. What does the underlined word “exasperating” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Entertaining.
B. Encouraging.
C Disappointing.
D. Annoying.
9. Who are influenced most heavily by the video screens according to Paragraph 3
A. Students.
B. Bus drivers.
C. Youngsters.
D. Office employees.
10. What does the public tolerance for noise pollution cause
A. More use of public transport.
B. An increase in bus video advertising.
C. More complaints about bus companies.
D. Lower public awareness of consumer rights.
11. What’s the author’s attitude to the video screens in the public
A. Opposed.
B. Unclear.
C. Supportive.
D. Indifferent.

A new medicine developed in China has been recently introduced, which is expected to significantly enhance the prevention and control of malaria in pared with the previous medicines, this latest medicine is not only more efficient but also easier to administer. Its introduction is anticipated to result in a sharp decline in the number of deaths caused by malaria.
In case studies conducted in Kenya, second-generation artesunate(青蒿琥酯) for injection, developed by Chinese medicine company Fosun Pharma, has proved highly effective in treating severe malaria in children, Kenyan health experts said.
In addition the new drug—produced under the brand name Argesun—can be easier and faster to prepare, and safer to inject, than its previous generation, which was produced under the name Artesun, and which was widely used in dozens of countries for more than10 years.
“We think that this is a very good development. It is really going to cut our rate of deaths and also the complications caused by malaria,” Walter Otieno said, a Kenyan Medical researcher.
Argesun was pre-qualified by the World Health Organization in June and has been registered in 18 African countries, according to Fosun Pharma.
Both Artesun and Argesun are innovative antimalarial drugs based on artemisinin (青蒿素), which was discovered by Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou in the 1970s,and which has made significant contributions to malaria control and prevention in the world during the past two decades.
Wu Yifang, chairman of Fosun Pharma, said the company recognized the strategic value of antimalarial drugs based on artemisinin and restructured its sub company Guilin Pharmaceutical in 2004 to start introducing the drugs to the international market. Its first antimalarial drug entered Africa in 2007,and the company launched a training program for front-line medical workers in Africa in 2014.
“To win the battle against malaria, we have to get rid of it worldwide,” Wu said, adding that the company is pushing to transform its antimalarial drugs from “made in China and used in Africa” to “made in Africa and used in Africa”, in order to increase the accessibility and affordability of the drugs there.
12. What is the advantage of Argesun compared with Artesun
A. It is originally based on artemisinin. B. It is user-friendly for doctors and nurses.
C. It has been widely used for over 20 years. D. It is much cheaper for patients in Africa.
13. Why did Fosun Pharma restructure its subcompany in Guilin
A. To enter the African market. B. To train the doctors and nurses in Africa.
C. To spread its antimalarial drugs worldwide. D. To learn the strategic value of antimalarial drugs.
14. How can Africans use antimalarial drugs more easily according to Wu Yifang
A. By producing the drugs in Africa. B. By lowering the price of the drugs.
C. By winning the battle against malaria. D. By changing the way of transportation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Africa Sees New Hope in Malaria Fight B. Artemisinin Meets A New Advancement
C. African People Are Suffering from Malaria D. Chinese Medicine Company Hit Aftican Market

The annual writing competition arrived once again, which was a time to show creative writing as well as the vivid imagination of students. Although Tom had a burning passion for writing, he had always hesitated to enter the race. He was worried that his parents would disapprove of him spending so much time writing, leading him to miss the competition in previous years. But this time, he decided to take a chance and see if he could win this race. Perhaps if his parents saw how talented he truly was, they would come to support him.
Days passed as he carefully prepared his writing, pouring his heart and soul into every word. When he finished, he read it over and felt proud of what he had written. He prepared to hand in his writing, but his parents still believed he was wasting time. He still decided to submit his entry anyway.
Weeks went by before the contest’s results were announced. Tom waited anxiously, wondering if his writing was good enough to win a prize. He checked out his mailbox every day after school.

词句猜测题。根据画线词前句“You pay the bus fare simply to get a ride—undisturbed—but now you are exposed to this ‘added value’, whether you like it or not.(你支付公交车费用只是为了乘车——不受干扰——但现在你暴露在这种‘附加值’中，无论你喜欢与否。)”可知，乘客乘坐公交车是为了不受干扰地乘车，但视频屏幕播放内容会打扰乘客享受安宁，再结合画线词所在句中的“a crowded bus”和“the noise”可推知，在拥挤的公交车中，播放视频的噪音会更加让人生气。exasperating意为“惹人生气的”，与annoying意思最接近。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Bus drivers are surely the worst victims because they have to bear it at least eight hours a day, non-stop.(公交车司机肯定是最严重的受害者，因为他们每天至少要忍受八个小时的不间断工作。)”可知，公交车司机受视频屏幕的影响最严重。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A high public tolerance for noise pollution has helped bus video advertisers to expand their businesses.(公众对噪音污染的高度容忍度帮助公交车视频广告商扩大了业务。)”可知，公众对噪音污染的高度容忍度促使公交车视频广告业务扩大。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The mushrooming video screens in buses, taxis and apartment halls in cities like Shanghai are taking away our already rare resource: a place for a moment of peace.(在上海这样的城市，公交车、出租车和公寓大厅里如雨后春笋般涌现的视频屏幕正在夺走我们本已稀缺的资源：一个片刻安宁的地方。)”和最后一段中的“It should first adopt world-class behavior in its massive public transportation system to return the public a peaceful place.(它应该率先在其庞大的公共交通系统中采用世界级的行为，让公众回到一个安宁的地方。)”可知，作者认为公共场所的视频屏幕夺走了人们寻找片刻安宁的机会，应该让人们回到享受安宁的状态，由此可推测出，作者对公共场所的视频屏幕持反对态度。故选A。
D
A new medicine developed in China has been recently introduced, which is expected to significantly enhance the prevention and control of malaria in pared with the previous medicines, this latest medicine is not only more efficient but also easier to administer. Its introduction is anticipated to result in a sharp decline in the number of deaths caused by malaria.
In case studies conducted in Kenya, second-generation artesunate(青蒿琥酯) for injection, developed by Chinese medicine company Fosun Pharma, has proved highly effective in treating severe malaria in children, Kenyan health experts said.
In addition, the new drug—produced under the brand name Argesun—can be easier and faster to prepare, and safer to inject, than its previous generation, which was produced under the name Artesun, and which was widely used in dozens of countries for more than10 years.
“We think that this is a very good development. It is really going to cut our rate of deaths and also the complications caused by malaria,” Walter Otieno said, a Kenyan Medical researcher.
Argesun was pre-qualified by the World Health Organization in June and has been registered in 18 African countries, according to Fosun Pharma.
Both Artesun and Argesun are innovative antimalarial drugs based on artemisinin (青蒿素), which was discovered by Nobel Prize winner Tu Youyou in the 1970s,and which has made significant contributions to malaria control and prevention in the world during the past two decades.
Wu Yifang, chairman of Fosun Pharma, said the company recognized the strategic value of antimalarial drugs based on artemisinin and restructured its sub company Guilin Pharmaceutical in 2004 to start introducing the drugs to the international market. Its first antimalarial drug entered Africa in 2007,and the company launched a training program for front-line medical workers in Africa in 2014.
“To win the battle against malaria, we have to get rid of it worldwide,” Wu said, adding that the company is pushing to transform its antimalarial drugs from “made in China and used in Africa” to “made in Africa and used in Africa”, in order to increase the accessibility and affordability of the drugs there.
12. What is the advantage of Argesun compared with Artesun
A. It is originally based on artemisinin. B. It is user-friendly for doctors and nurses.
C. It has been widely used for over 20 years. D. It is much cheaper for patients in Africa.
13. Why did Fosun Pharma restructure its subcompany in Guilin
A. To enter the African market. B. To train the doctors and nurses in Africa.
C. To spread its antimalarial drugs worldwide. D. To learn the strategic value of antimalarial drugs.
14. How can Africans use antimalarial drugs more easily according to Wu Yifang
A. By producing the drugs in Africa. B. By lowering the price of the drugs.
C. By winning the battle against malaria. D. By changing the way of transportation.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Africa Sees New Hope in Malaria Fight B. Artemisinin Meets A New Advancement
C. African People Are Suffering from Malaria D. Chinese Medicine Company Hit Aftican Market
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. A

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Wu Yifang, chairman of Fosun Pharma, said the company recognized the strategic value of antimalarial drugs based on artemisinin and restructured its sub company Guilin Pharmaceutical in 2004 to start introducing the drugs to the international market.(复星医药董事长吴义芳表示，该公司认识到以青蒿素为基础的抗疟疾药物的战略价值，并于2004年重组了其子公司桂林医药，开始向国际市场推出这些药物)”可知，复星医药重组桂林分公司是为了在世界范围内传播抗疟疾药物。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““To win the battle against malaria, we have to get rid of it worldwide,” Wu said, adding that the company is pushing to transform its antimalarial drugs from “made in China and used in Africa” to “made in Africa and used in Africa”, in order to increase the accessibility and affordability of the drugs there.(吴说：“为了赢得与疟疾的斗争，我们必须在全球范围内摆脱疟疾。”他补充说，该公司正在推动将其抗疟疾药物从“中国制造，非洲使用”转变为“非洲制造，非洲使用”，以提高那里药物的可及性和可负担性。)”可知，非洲人通过在非洲生产药物才能更容易地使用抗疟疾药物。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new medicine developed in China has been recently introduced, which is expected to significantly enhance the prevention and control of malaria in pared with the previous medicines, this latest medicine is not only more efficient but also easier to administer. Its introduction is anticipated to result in a sharp decline in the number of deaths caused by malaria. (中国最近推出了一种新药，有望大大加强非洲疟疾的预防和控制。与以前的药物相比，这种最新的药物不仅更有效，而且更容易服用。它的采用预计将导致疟疾造成的死亡人数急剧下降)”结合文章介绍了这种新药的特点以及优势等。可知，A选项“非洲看到抗击疟疾的新希望”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Have you ever felt the need to grab a pen and start writing your thoughts on a piece of paper Tom had always been a lover of stories, and of words that come together to create vivid imagery (意象). He would spend hours writing down his thoughts and ideas, crafting worlds and people with his pen and paper.
But when it came to his parents, they didn’t believe how much he enjoyed writing. In fact, they discouraged him, telling him that he should focus on more practical career fields like becoming a lawyer.
The annual writing competition arrived once again, which was a time to show creative writing as well as the vivid imagination of students. Although Tom had a burning passion for writing, he had always hesitated to enter the race. He was worried that his parents would disapprove of him spending so much time writing, leading him to miss the competition in previous years. But this time, he decided to take a chance and see if he could win this race. Perhaps if his parents saw how talented he truly was, they would come to support him.
Days passed as he carefully prepared his writing, pouring his heart and soul into every word. When he finished, he read it over and felt proud of what he had written. He prepared to hand in his writing, but his parents still believed he was wasting time. He still decided to submit his entry anyway.
Weeks went by before the contest’s results were announced. Tom waited anxiously, wondering if his writing was good enough to win a prize. He checked out his mailbox every day after school.

【答案】One possible version:
Finally, the day arrived and the winners were announced. His heart raced with anticipation as he nervously scrolled down the list of names. And then he saw it: his name in bold letters was there. Tears filled his eyes as he felt a mixture of joy and relief, and he let out a yell. Winning the race was not only a proof of his writing ability but also a reminder to follow his heart. But he still worried whether his parents would change their attitude and support him.
Just then, the door opened and Tom’s parents returned home from work. Tom quickly gathered himself and went to show them the email, “Mom, Dad, I made it.” His parents looked at him in surprise. “Writing may be a better choice,” Tom exclaimed with determination. His parents’ faces softened as they figured out what happened. His mother gave him a tight hug, “Becoming a lawyer may lead you to a successful life, but passion can lead you to a happy one.” Tom had won not just the race but also his parents’ support.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了Tom非常喜欢讲故事，喜欢写作，会花时间写下自己的想法，创造出自己的世界和人物。但是他的父母并不相信他对写作的喜欢，他们劝阻他，希望他更专注于其他的职业领域。虽然每年都有写作比赛，但是因为担心父母会不赞成，Tom总是错过比赛。今年Tom决定尝试一下，看看是否能够获奖，希望父母在看到他的才华后，能够支持他。他全身心地进行创作，为自己的作品感到自豪，虽然父母仍然认为他是在浪费时间，但他还是提交了自己的参赛作品，焦急地等待着比赛结果。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“终于，这一天到来了，获奖者被宣布了”可知，第一段可描写Tom看到自己获奖，以及内心高兴又担心的复杂心理活动。
②由第二段首句内容“正在这时，门开了，Tom的父母下班回家了”可知，第二段可描写Tom告知父母自己获奖的消息，以及父母的反应，他们对Tom想从事写作的态度的转变。
