Most high school students would rather spend their summer vacations far away from the classroom. But Vineet Kosaraju and Nikhil Cheerla are choosing to go back to school, and this time they are the teachers.
“I think it’s really nice that I can help the community by spending just a little bit of time every week helping just a few students here and there try and learn programming,” Kosaraju said.
Friends since they were young boys, Kosaraju and Cheerla always shared a love of computer science. They learned the skills from their parents and school, but recognized that not all children have that chance.
“Programming isn’t taught in that many schools, especially low income (收入) schools, because there isn’t that much money to support it,” Kosaraju said.
So he and Cheerla developed “Math and Coding,” an after-school program for kids of all ages to learn the basics of computer programming.
Between applying for college and doing their own homework, the two boys now spend a few hours every week going to different libraries teaching classes that cover everything from building basic games to developing apps.
The friends started the program a little over a year ago and already, it’s spread to more than a dozen libraries across the Bay Area in California. They are even training volunteers to teach these very same classes in other US states and Canada.
Maryann Mitchell brought her 8-year-old granddaughter, Gabriella, to a class on coding at the Alum Rock Library in San Jose, California.
“It’s a chance for her to learn,” Mitchell said. “It’s the way of the future, and it’s a good way for her to get grounded and be ready for what the future holds.”
“I think the most rewarding thing is having people come up and thank you and say they really learned a lot from this class,” Cheerla said. “It doesn’t get any better than that.”
4 Why do the two boys return to the classroom during summer holidays
A. To improve their computer skills. B. To get some teaching experience.
C. To raise money for local schools. D. To instruct kids in programming.
5. What do we know about the program
A. It has a growing influence. B. It has been run for many years.
C. It helps students apply for college. D. It trains teachers to work for libraries.
6 How can the class benefit Gabriella
A. It encourages her to visit libraries. B. It helps her prepare for the future.
C. It allows her to make more friends. D. It’s a chance to learn about the future.
7. What does the text mainly report
A. The great work of volunteers in the Bay Area.
B. A library’s important role in helping students.
C. Two teens’ free coding course for children.
D. The close friendship between two students.
C
The law of supply and demand (需求) explains how the prices of goods and services are determined. Prices rise when there is an increase in demand. When there is an increase in supply, prices go down.
When the amount of goods being demanded is the same as the amount of goods being supplied, it stabilizes prices. However, if either side increases too much, it can create economic (经济的) problems. Tulip Mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age when the prices of tulips rose and dropped rapidly. In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.
After tulips were introduced to the Netherlands, they became a symbol of wealth and position. As a result, the rare types were seen as valuable things and were trade at high prices. Soon, they grew in popularity as a trading product, and traders bought them to make a lot of money. Even ordinary people started to believe it was an easy way to make money and got involved (参与) in the trade of the tulips.
Prices kept on rising as more people wanted tulips. Some people began selling all of their possessions (财产) in order to buy them. And the prices became unbelievably higher than the value of the actual things. As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips. Finally, prices dropped, and many were left poor with worthless tulips.
8. What does the underlined word “stabilizes” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Brings something down. B. Loses control of something.
C. Keeps something exactly the same. D. Makes something unlikely to change.
9. What caused the huge increase in tulips’ prices in the 1630s
A. Their high value. B. Powerful demand.
C. Their extreme rareness. D. The government’s economic policy.
10. According to the text, Tulip Mania __________________.
A. involved a wide range of people B. helped create the Dutch Golden Age
C. went against the law of supply and demand D. led to the slow economic growth in the Netherlands
11. Why did some people begin to sell their tulips during Tulip Mania
A. Their tulips were just common types. B. Their prices would remain unchanged.
C. They needed money to make a living. D. They were worried about the demand for tulips.
D
Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”．
And the key, says the 43 year old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences’ (听众的) need for heartfelt personal stories.
“I think we’ve entered a new singer songwriter time,” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It’s not about what you have or what you don’t have; it’s more about your journey and your viewpoint that’s important to people.”
Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences’ tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.
After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“It’s just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express,” he said.
The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带) perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we’re living in today.
“People want to feel. There’s too much thinking to deal with,” the singer said. “We’re different from what we were 15 years ago. The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It’s the most important thing ever.”
12. What’s the key to successful music according to Pharrell
A. Writing happy songs.
B. Following your heart.
C. Telling moving stories.
D. Sharing personal experiences.
13. What can we learn about Pharrell’s song Happy
A. It received a cold welcome.
B. It became popular overnight.
C. It changed audiences’ tastes in music.
D. It received different responses at home and abroad.
14. How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song
A. It was caused by good luck.
B. It was within his expectations.
C. It gave him hope and confidence.
D. It prevented him giving up making music.
15. Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally
A. They need someone to talk to.
B. They need others to help them think.
C. They are tired of their own personal life.
D. They feel less human in the technological world.

Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it, he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”

The law of supply and demand (需求) explains how the prices of goods and services are determined. Prices rise when there is an increase in demand. When there is an increase in supply, prices go down.
When the amount of goods being demanded is the same as the amount of goods being supplied, it stabilizes prices. However, if either side increases too much, it can create economic (经济的) problems. Tulip Mania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age when the prices of tulips rose and dropped rapidly. In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.
After tulips were introduced to the Netherlands, they became a symbol of wealth and position. As a result, the rare types were seen as valuable things and were trade at high prices. Soon, they grew in popularity as a trading product, and traders bought them to make a lot of money. Even ordinary people started to believe it was an easy way to make money and got involved (参与) in the trade of the tulips.
Prices kept on rising as more people wanted tulips. Some people began selling all of their possessions (财产) in order to buy them. And the prices became unbelievably higher than the value of the actual things. As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips. Finally, prices dropped, and many were left poor with worthless tulips.
8. What does the underlined word “stabilizes” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Brings something down. B. Loses control of something.
C. Keeps something exactly the same. D. Makes something unlikely to change.
9. What caused the huge increase in tulips’ prices in the 1630s
A. Their high value. B. Powerful demand.
C. Their extreme rareness. D. The government’s economic policy.
10. According to the text, Tulip Mania __________________.
A. involved a wide range of people B. helped create the Dutch Golden Age
C. went against the law of supply and demand D. led to the slow economic growth in the Netherlands
11. Why did some people begin to sell their tulips during Tulip Mania
A. Their tulips were just common types. B. Their prices would remain unchanged.
C. They needed money to make a living. D. They were worried about the demand for tulips.

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the 1630s, the demand for these flowers increased so much that prices went out of control.(在17世纪30年代，对这些花的需求急剧增加，以至于价格失控)”可知，强大的需求导致了17世纪30年代郁金香价格的大幅上涨。故选B。

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“As the supply increased, however, some people thought the demand for tulips would not last and began to sell their tulips.(然而，随着供应量的增加，一些人认为对郁金香的需求不会持续，于是开始出售他们的郁金香)”可知，有些人在郁金香狂热期间开始出售他们的郁金香是他们担心郁金香的需求。故选D。

Pharrell Williams takes a breath and considers how the past years have developed for him: ten Grammy Awards and a number of hit singles including a song that has caused countless fans to express how they are “happy”．
And the key, says the 43 year old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences’ (听众的) need for heartfelt personal stories.
“I think we’ve entered a new singer songwriter time,” said the American singer and producer. “People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It’s not about what you have or what you don’t have; it’s more about your journey and your viewpoint that’s important to people.”
Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences’ tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. Countless videos populate sites like YouTube with people from Portugal and China to Abu Dhabi and Iran singing and dancing along to the song.
After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
“It’s just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express,” he said.
The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we’re living in today.
“People want to feel. There’s too much thinking to deal with,” the singer said. “We’re different from what we were 15 years ago. The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It’s the most important thing ever.”
12. What’s the key to successful music according to Pharrell
A. Writing happy songs.
B. Following your heart.
C. Telling moving stories.
D. Sharing personal experiences.
13 What can we learn about Pharrell’s song Happy
A. It received a cold welcome.
B. It became popular overnight.
C. It changed audiences’ tastes in music.
D. It received different responses at home and abroad.
14. How did Pharrell feel about the success of his song
A. It was caused by good luck.
B. It was within his expectations.
C. It gave him hope and confidence.
D. It prevented him giving up making music.
15. Why do people want to be connected to others emotionally
A. They need someone to talk to.
B. They need others to help them think.
C. They are tired of their own personal life.
D. They feel less human in the technological world.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“And the key, says the 43 year old known simply as Pharrell, has been taking advantage of audiences’ (听众) need for heartfelt personal stories. (43岁的法雷尔说，关键是要利用听众对真挚个人故事的需求)”和第三段中的“People want a story. They want a story they can connect to. It’s not about what you have or what you don’t have; it’s more about your journey and your viewpoint that’s important to people. (人们想要一个故事。他们想要一个他们可以联系到的故事。这不是关于你拥有什么或你没有拥有什么的故事；更多的是关于你的旅程和你的观点，这对人们来说很重要)”可知，听众需要的是真挚的个人故事，音乐成功的关键在于要将个人的经历或观点赋予（分享在）音乐中，使听众共情。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“Pharrell said he noticed a change in audiences’ tastes over the past year in particular with the sudden success of his song Happy, which received little fanfare upon its release but has turned into an international hit. (法雷尔说，他注意到观众的口味在过去一年中发生了变化，特别是他的歌曲《快乐》突然成功，这首歌在发行时几乎没有受到欢迎，但已成为国际热门歌曲)”可知，Happy这首歌曲发行初期遭冷遇。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由第五段“After seeing how far his song traveled, the singer broke down in tears during a televised interview with the famous talk show host Oprah Winfrey. (看到自己的歌走了多远，这位歌手在接受著名脱口秀主持人奥普拉·温弗瑞的电视采访时哭了)”和第六段““It’s just encouraging to people who have something to say, something to express,” he said. (他说：“对于那些有话要说、有话要表达的人来说，这不仅仅令人鼓舞/给人希望。”)”可知，Happy这首歌的大获成功给了法雷尔希望和信心。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“The success has made Pharrell realize that people are searching for personal and emotional links (情感纽带), perhaps as a means of getting away from the modern technological world we’re living in today. (这一成功让法雷尔意识到，人们正在寻找个人和情感的联系，也许是为了摆脱我们今天生活的现代科技世界)”和最后一段““People want to feel. There’s too much thinking to deal with,” the singer said. “We’re different from what we were 15 years ago. The only thing we have left that reminds (提醒) us that we are humans is feeling. It’s the most important thing ever.”(这位歌手说：“人们想要感受。有太多的想法需要处理。”“我们与15年前不同了。唯一能提醒我们是人类的东西就是感觉。这是有史以来最重要的事情。”)”可知，在现代科技世界中人们想要感受，想提醒自己是人类，说明人们想相互之间建立情感纽带等联系是因为在虚拟的世界中感受甚少，觉得缺少人情味。故选D项。

Offer alternatives (选择) to what they want.
You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day. Being a good friend doesn’t mean doing everything they want you to do.

Tell your friend you’ll help, but you expect help, too.
You may find that you are always asked for help but never receive any in return. ___18___ For example, if your friend always asks for a lift, you could say, “I don’t mind taking you places, but I’ll need some gas money if this is going to continue.”
___19___

【答案】16. B 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了与朋友设定界限的方法。
【16题详解】
根据第一段第一句“Setting boundaries (界限) with people, especially those you care about, can be difficult. (与人，尤其是与你关心的人，设定界限可能很难。)”和空前“You won’t be able to care for others if you can’t care for yourself.(如果你不能照顾自己，你就不能照顾别人。)”要先学会设定界限，把自己的感受放在前面。B项“做一些有帮助的事。”就是为了“care for yourself”。且文章中黑体小标题“Offer alternatives (选择) to what they want.”和“Tell your friend you’ll help, but you expect help, too.”属于“helpful acts.”故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据前文“You may have a friend who wants to come over and stay all day.( 你可能有一个朋友想过来呆上一整天。)”可知有人想和你呆一整天；后文“However, you can offer alternatives. You can say, “It’s OK to come over, but only one hour is available.”(但是，你可以提供其他选择。你可以说：“过来没问题，但是只有一个小时。”)”表示，没必要完全拒绝，可以提供选择。C项“你不需要完全阻断他们。”符合语境。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据后文“ For example, if your friend always asks for a lift, you could say, “I don’t mind taking you places, but I’ll need some gas money if this is going to continue.”(例如，如果你的朋友总是要求搭车，你可以说，“我不介意带你去任何地方，但如果要继续的话，我需要一些油钱。”)”可知，在朋友提出要求时，要明确告诉朋友，你也有需求。G项“让你的朋友知道你希望得到同样多的帮助。”符合语境。故选G项。
【19题详解】
根据后文“ Offer a warning about boundary violations to let your friend know when they occur. (警告你的朋友不要越界。)”可知本段的主题是“给朋友警告”。A项是祈使句，符合本文标题特征，“Give a warning.(发出警告)”符合语境。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Some “friends” want to use up all you’ve got, but never offer anything in return. (有些“朋友”想用光你所有的东西，但从不给你任何回报。)”可知，有些朋友只知道一直索取，不知道回报。F项“他们可能经常向你借东西，但拒绝还你。”与其意义一致，且后文“These are “friends” you don’t need, and you’ll need to let them know now.(这些是你不需要的“朋友”，你需要现在就让他们知道。)”中“These”和F项中“They”一致。故选F项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国和美国在对待食物上观点的差异以及不同的餐桌礼仪。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：美国人和中国人的饮食方式不同。空格处位于名词之前，修饰名词；因此需要用形容词。variety的形容词为various。故填various。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：在中国，人们认为食物对人是必不可少的，而美国人只是更关注食物的营养。空格处修饰动词，因此需要用副词；simple的副词形式为simply，意为“仅仅，只是”。故填simply。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：菜肴不仅美味，而且满足你的感官，其中许多都有美丽而奇特的名字。分析句子结构可知，空格处及后面为非限定性定语从句，修饰的先行词为“菜肴”；空格处需要填入关系词，此处表示“食物”且位于介词之后，所以用which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：美国的食物很简单，缺乏一种亲切友好的氛围，因为吃被认为是一种交流和生存的方式。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，此处指的是“吃被认为是一种交流和生存方式”，所以需要使用被动语态。主语为动名词，因此be动词用单数；本句子为陈述事实，所以使用一般现在时。故填is referred。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：美国的食物很简单，缺乏一种亲切友好的氛围，因为吃被认为是一种交流和生存的方式。分析句子结构可知，此处与“communication”并列，所以需要填入名词。survive的名词为survival，此处“表示生存”为不可数名词。故填survival。

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国人用筷子夹菜，而美国人则倾向于用刀切食物，或者用右手拿叉子把食物送到嘴里。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入非谓语动词；刀叉与拿之间为被动关系，用过去分词的形式。故填held。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：这些风格在两个国家都是可以接受的。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入谓语动词，主语为each，因此，谓语动词用单数。句子为陈述事实，所以用一般现在时。故填is。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。句意：然而，如果你在美国使用刀叉，你的吸引力就会降低，因为大多数美国人不像中国人那样习惯使用筷子。本句中指的是“大多数美国人都用刀叉，你也用刀叉，也就没有什么特别之处”；该句子隐含了对比之意。故填less。

47. 阅读下面材料,，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Most boys coming to our ranch (大牧场) were living around animals for the first time. Sent by educational systems, they were boys in trouble; they had no family, lacked love, often broke the rules, and were lonely. Our ranch created a “boy-horse communication program” for them, hoping to heal their broken spirits and help them behave well through their communication with horses. I was the program’s head.
15-year-old Martin was a new arrival. He appeared cold and easily angry and had no experience with horses. He seemed to consider a horse only a vehicle for speed and thrills. He always pushed his way to the front of the line every day, knocking down smaller children to get on the horse. And then he started moving fast. We tried to communicate with him, but he only cared about his excitement.
One morning, when I was upset about Martin’s behavior in my office, one worker told me that a female horse was ill. Then, I ran to its stable (马), and within an hour she was dead. We felt sad about her and also concerned about the young baby she had recently delivered (分娩). The baby horse’s first need was to be fed.
We prepared some milk in a bottle and offered it to her. But she wouldn’t accept the bottle. We had to put our hands in the milk and let her suck (吮吸) the milk off our fingers. It was a painfully slow method of feeding, but we had no choice if we wanted the baby horse to survive.
At that moment, Martin finished his daily riding and found us. Pushing his way through the crowd of kids who were watching us feed the baby horse, he got to the front, shouting, “I want to feed it!”
After I showed Martin how to do it he put his hand in the milk and then put his fingers towards the horse’s mouth. When the baby horse closed her mouth around his fingers, Martin was surprised and drew back, shouting, “Hey, it bit me!” But knowing the little horse wanted more food, he immediately re-wet his hand.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请在答题卡相应位置作答。
And he gently put his fingers near her mouth.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】And he gently put his fingers near her mouth. Again the horse sucked greedily. This time, Martin’s face relaxed into a smile of pure pleasure. Again and again, he put his hand in the milk and gave it to the horse. “She’s so hungry,” he said softly. Eventually, the horse had enough milk and fell into a deep sleep. “What happened to her ” Martin asked me. I told him that she had lost her mom and needed someone to care for her. Then we talked about how it felt to lose a mother.
Watching the horse sleep, Martin cried, “I’ll be her mom and care for her.” Touched, I nodded. He came every day to feed the baby horse and clean her stable. He brushed her and played with her. They had a wild game where they took turns chasing each other, bringing fun and love to each other. Gradually, Martin’s eyes had more tenderness, and he began caring for little boys there, teaching them to ride horses. I was glad about Martin’s change. And this was just one story here that showed how our program could heal a broken spirit.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一个牧场的负责人，牧场里有很多由教育系统送来的，陷入困境的男孩。牧场为他们打造了“童马交流计划”，希望通过与马儿的交流来治愈他们受伤的心灵。15岁的男孩Martin是新来的，他看上去冷酷、容易生气，认为马只是速度和刺激的交通工具。他每天总是冲到队伍的最前面，撞倒较小的孩子才能上马，作者为Martin的行为感到很不安。一天，一匹母马死去了，她刚生出不久的小马需要有人来喂食，但是小马不接受奶瓶子，所以必须有人把手伸进牛奶里，让她吮吸手指上的牛奶，以此来喂食。Martin接下了这个任务，慢慢地在照顾小马的过程中马丁也改变了。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他轻轻地将手指放在她的嘴边。”和第二段首句“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她的妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第一段可描写Martin喂食小马的过程以及作者告诉Martin小马失去了母亲这件事。
②由第二段首句内容“看着马儿睡着了，Martin哭着说:‘我要做她的妈妈，照顾她。’”可知，第二段可描写Martin像妈妈一样每天都照顾小马，同时Martin自己也发生了改变，变得温柔了。
2.续写线索：喂食小马——得知小马失去了母亲——像母亲一样照顾小马——改变——作者很高兴看到Martin改变
