One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it ” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.
Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf ” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs ” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”
I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”
The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.
4. Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2
A. To show parental impact on children’s passion.
B. To suggest hobbies always start from the small.
C. To highlight the importance of diverse experiences.
D. To prove true passion usually arises from the reward.
5. What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Setting an example for. B. Broadening the horizons of.
C. Providing attentive care for. D. Narrowing the possibilities of.
6. What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with
A. Stability in upbringing builds confidence.
B. Parenting styles requires professional guidance.
C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness.
D. One’s personality is related to childhood experiences.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. The author is always addicted to shooting stars.
B. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to motivate kids.
C. The author will go to see shooting stars with his son.
D. It is impossible to unlock kids’ potential without eagerness.
C
Scream if you want to charge your phone.
Thanks to the wonders of science, riders on Thorpe Park’s new attraction, a roller coaster called The Walking Dead, can now power their smart phones by screaming loudly. That’s because there are devices on it that “harvest kinetic energy (动能)”. The park conducted research which shows that people’s biggest fear is their phones running out of battery, so the device should prove popular.
All of the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices which not only harvest the energy of screams, but that from g-force and vibrations (振动) of the ride, too. It is stored in a power management unit. The unit is then removed from the carriages by staff and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices. The 188mmx 188mm x 67mm energy harvester is jet black, blending into its dark and mysterious surroundings on the roller coaster themed around the global TV shows.
Thorpe Park said: “If thrill-seekers are brave enough to open their eyes, they will see a set of LED lights in blood red powering up as guests’ screams become louder... throughout the 90-second experience.”
Designed and installed by researchers at Queen Mary University London and the engineering team at Thorpe Park Resort, the technology took three months to be carried out, from design to installation. It will be available at the theme park for an initial trial period.
Thorpe Park Resort’s John Burton, who came up with the ride concept, said, “The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 out of 10 on the scare factor scale, so it makes sense to be able to combine and use the power of our visitors’ screams and the ride’s vibrations to help solve a problem each and every one of us faces — losing the charge on our mobiles when we’re on a day out.”
Dr Joe Briscoe, School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London, said, “This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future. The system uses a mini energy harvester to capture the kinetic energy, transferring it to a separate electrical circuit and storage unit, which is enough to charge a mobile phone.”
8. Where could ride goers easily get their phones charged
A. At the carriage. B. At the charging point.
C. At the LED light. D. At the energy harvester.
9 Why does John Burton consider the concept workable
A. Because a mini energy harvester is applied.
B. Because The Walking Dead is most frightening.
C. Because the park has quite a number of scary rides.
D. Because almost everyone is faced with power failure.
10. What’s Dr Joe Briscoe’s attitude toward the technology
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Disapproving.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A. A new battery for powering your phone is invented.
B The traditional way of charging your phone is on the way out.
C. Visitors’ scream in Thorpe Park can be used to charge the phone.
D. The most effective way of charging your phone has been found in Thorpe Park.
D
The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
12. What can we learn from Berninger’s first study
A. It focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
B. It indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
C. It found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. It discussed the importance of writing speed.
13. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
14. What does “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Window. B. Passage. C. Picture. D. Imagination.
15. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____19____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.

When I was four, my seven-year-old brother received a baseball glove for his birthday. Every night. as we went to sleep.

Anyone interested, sign up at the community service center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen table, Could I After all these years

Finally, 1 gathered up my courage and signed up. Since I wasn’t a member of any team, they told me I’d be assigned (分配) to one. Two weeks passed before they gave me the name of the team to look for. Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play. That first day, he had me run bases (跑垒). I never got a chance to bat or play the field. I just ran bases all night. The next morning, I could hardly stand.

One summer night, a boy felt himself lifted from bed by his father. Dazed with sleep, he saw stars flashing across the heavens. “What is it ” the child whispered. “Shooting stars. They come every year in August.” Decades have passed, but I remember that night still, because I was the fortunate boy whose father believed a new experience was more important than an unbroken night’s sleep.
Some parents like my father have the gift of opening doors for their children. This art of adding dimensions to a child brings the reward: the marvelous moment when the spark bursts into a flame that will burn brightly on its own one day. At a Golf Association tournament, a ten-year-old girl played creditably. “How long have you been interested in golf ” someone asked. “I got it for my ninth birthday,” she said.“ Your father gave you a set of clubs ” “No,” she said, “he gave me golf.”
I have a friend, a psychiatrist, who says there are two types of people: those who think of life as a privilege and those who think of it as a problem. The first type is enthusiastic and energetic. The other type is suspicious and self-centered. And he adds, “Tell me about your childhood and I can tell you which type you are likely to be.”
The real purpose, then, of trying to open doors for children is to build eager and outgoing attitudes, which is the most valuable legacy we can pass on to the next generation. But why don’t we work harder at it Probably because sometimes we don’t have the awareness or the selflessness or the energy. And yet, for those of us who care what becomes of our children, the challenge is always there but the opportunities also come repeatedly. Many years have passed since that night. And next year, when August comes with its shooting stars, my son will be seven.
4. Why does the author mention the girl in Paragraph 2
A. To show parental impact on children’s passion.
B. To suggest hobbies always start from the small.
C. To highlight the importance of diverse experiences.
D. To prove true passion usually arises from the reward.
5. What do the underlined words “adding dimensions to” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Setting an example for. B. Broadening the horizons of.
C. Providing attentive care for. D. Narrowing the possibilities of.
6. What will the author’s psychiatrist friend agree with
A. Stability in upbringing builds confidence.
B. Parenting styles requires professional guidance.
C. Childhood experience determines adult happiness.
D. One’s personality is related to childhood experiences.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph

C
Scream if you want to charge your phone.
Thanks to the wonders of science, riders on Thorpe Park’s new attraction, a roller coaster called The Walking Dead, can now power their smart phones by screaming loudly. That’s because there are devices on it that “harvest kinetic energy (动能)”. The park conducted research which shows that people’s biggest fear is their phones running out of battery, so the device should prove popular.
All of the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices, which not only harvest the energy of screams, but that from g-force and vibrations (振动) of the ride, too. It is stored in a power management unit. The unit is then removed from the carriages by staff and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices. The 188mmx 188mm x 67mm energy harvester is jet black, blending into its dark and mysterious surroundings on the roller coaster themed around the global TV shows.
Thorpe Park said: “If thrill-seekers are brave enough to open their eyes, they will see a set of LED lights in blood red powering up as guests’ screams become louder... throughout the 90-second experience.”
Designed and installed by researchers at Queen Mary University London and the engineering team at Thorpe Park Resort, the technology took three months to be carried out, from design to installation. It will be available at the theme park for an initial trial period.
Thorpe Park Resort’s John Burton, who came up with the ride concept, said, “The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 out of 10 on the scare factor scale, so it makes sense to be able to combine and use the power of our visitors’ screams and the ride’s vibrations to help solve a problem each and every one of us faces — losing the charge on our mobiles when we’re on a day out.”
Dr Joe Briscoe, School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London, said, “This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future. The system uses a mini energy harvester to capture the kinetic energy, transferring it to a separate electrical circuit and storage unit, which is enough to charge a mobile phone.”
8. Where could ride goers easily get their phones charged
A. At the carriage. B. At the charging point.
C. At the LED light. D. At the energy harvester.
9. Why does John Burton consider the concept workable
A. Because a mini energy harvester is applied.
B. Because The Walking Dead is most frightening.
C. Because the park has quite a number of scary rides.
D. Because almost everyone is faced with power failure.
10. What’s Dr Joe Briscoe’s attitude toward the technology
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Neutral. D. Disapproving.
11. What’s the main idea of the text
A. A new battery for powering your phone is invented.
B The traditional way of charging your phone is on the way out.
C. Visitors’ scream in Thorpe Park can be used to charge the phone.
D. The most effective way of charging your phone has been found in Thorpe Park.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“All of the Walking Dead’s carriages have been fitted with the harvesting devices, which not only harvest the energy of screams, but that from g-force and vibrations (振动) of the ride, too. It is stored in a power management unit. The unit is then removed from the carriages by staff and deposited into an on-site mobile charging point where ride goers will charge their devices. (《行尸走肉》的所有车厢都安装了收集装置，不仅可以收集尖叫的能量，还可以收集重力和震动的能量。它被存储在电源管理单元中。然后，工作人员会将电池从车厢中取出，放在现场的移动充电点，乘客可以在那里为自己的设备充电。)”可知，乘客可以在充点电给手机充电，故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Thorpe Park Resort’s John Burton, who came up with the ride concept, said, “The Walking Dead’s ride is 15 out of 10 on the scare factor scale, so it makes sense to be able to combine and use the power of our visitors’ screams and the ride’s vibrations to help solve a problem each and every one of us faces—losing the charge on our mobiles when we’re on a day out.” (索普公园度假村的约翰·伯顿提出了这个游乐设施的概念，他说：“《行尸走肉》的游乐设施在惊吓系数上的得分是15分(满分为10分)，所以把游客的尖叫和游乐设施的震动结合起来，帮助解决我们每个人都面临的问题是有意义的——当我们外出的时候，我们的手机没电了。”)”可知因为游乐园里有很多惊吓系数很高的游乐设施，这样游客的尖叫声就会和游乐设施的震动结合起来产生能量来为手机充电，故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Joe Briscoe, School of Engineering and Materials Science at Queen Mary University of London, said, “This is an exciting concept that will undoubtedly be used more frequently in the future. The system uses a mini energy harvester to capture the kinetic energy, transferring it to a separate electrical circuit and storage unit, which is enough to charge a mobile phone.” (伦敦玛丽女王大学工程与材料科学学院的乔·布里斯科博士说：“这是一个令人兴奋的概念，无疑将在未来得到更频繁的应用。该系统使用一个小型能量收集器来捕获动能，并将其转移到一个独立的电路和存储单元，这足以给一部手机充电。” ) ”可知乔·布里斯科博士对这项技术的前景很乐观，所以应该会支持这项技术，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章标题“Scream if you want to charge your phone.( 如果你想给手机充电，就尖叫。)”和第一段“Thanks to the wonders of science, riders on Thorpe Park’s new attraction, a roller coaster called The Walking Dead, can now power their smart phones by screaming loudly. That’s because there are devices on it that “harvest kinetic energy (动能)”. The park conducted research which shows that people’s biggest fear is their phones running out of battery, so the device should prove popular. (多亏了科学的奇迹，索普公园的新景点——名为“行尸走肉”的过山车上的乘客们现在可以通过大声尖叫来给他们的智能手机充电了。这是因为上面有“收集动能”的装置。该公园进行的一项研究表明，人们最担心的是手机没电了，所以这种设备应该会很受欢迎。)”可知文章讲述一项发明，英国索普游乐园收集游客尖叫产生的声能和重力及震动的能量来给手机充电。C选项“游客在索普公园的尖叫可以用来给手机充电。”符合文章大意，故选C。

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
12. What can we learn from Berninger’s first study
A. It focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
B. It indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
C. It found that good essays are made up of long sentences.
D. It discussed the importance of writing speed.
13. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
14. What does “mind’s eye” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Window. B. Passage. C. Picture. D. Imagination.
15. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了随着现代科技的发展，手写渐渐被人们所忽视。但是Berninger的研究表明，手写在现代教学中应该占有一席之地，因为加强拼写有助于学生写作能力的发展。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. (Berninger和她的同事进行了一项研究，观察学生完成各种写作任务的能力——包括在电脑上和通过手写。研究发现，当用笔和纸写作时，参与者写的文章更长，句子更完整，单词生成速度更快。)”可知，Berninger第一次的研究观察并比较学生通过电脑和手写完成写作任务的能力，关注的是手写和在电脑上书写的区别。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. (在最近的一项研究中，Berninger研究了拼写在学生写作技能中所起的作用，发现孩子拼写的好坏与他们的写作能力有关。)”可知，拼写能力与写作能力密切相关。故选B项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. (该研究称，拼写帮助学生首先将想法转换成脑海中的单词，然后将“脑海中的单词转录成纸上或键盘、屏幕上的文字符号”)”和下文“helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time (不仅可以帮助孩子们将他们的想法转化为单词，还可以帮助他们在写下单词时发现拼写错误，并随着时间的推移进行纠正)”可知，此处描述学生拼写时的思维机制，以及该机制的好处。由此推知，这种好处是“首先在脑海中把想法转换成单词”带来的，这是一种想象力的表现，mind’s eye意思应该是“想象力”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章首先在第一段提出了在如今高科技发展的时代，手写看上去好像没什么用了，但在后文举了Berninger的两个研究，表明手写很重要，与写作能力密切相关。由此可知，文章想传达“手写在今天的教室里仍然占有一席之地”的结论。故选A项。

The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____16____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work
The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____17____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___18___
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____19____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
___20___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

But, back then, girls didn’t play sports; they played with dolls (洋娃娃).
Fast-forward twenty-six years. Now a thirty-year-old mother of two boys and a girl, I happened to sec a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Baseball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the community service center.” I cut it out and set it on the kitchen table, Could I After all these years
I looked at that notice on my table every day. l thought of a thousand reasons I couldn’t play. But the idea of playing baseball stuck in my head and wouldn’t go away. Finally, 1 gathered up my courage and signed up. Since I wasn’t a member of any team, they told me I’d be assigned (分配) to one. Two weeks passed before they gave me the name of the team to look for. Since my husband worked Monday nights, I arranged for a babysitter. It was a luxury (奢侈) but, at that moment in my life, a necessity.
On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through the park filled with women of all ages practicing. It took me a while to find my team. They were all high-school girls, seventeen and eighteen years old! I waited a couple of minutes before approaching the coach. He had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up. He looked me over. His girls had fine gloves and metal cleats (棒球钉鞋). They looked like players. I had no glove and wore an old T-shirt and gym shoes. I didn’t care. I wanted to play.

When I showed up the next Monday, the coach was clearly surprised. “Are you here to run bases again ” he joked.

I caught an impossibly high ball and enjoyed a real training I desired to have for so long.
“Impressive catch!” my teammates cheered for my performance after the training. The coach, with a smile on his face, approached me and said, “You’ve got some skills. Keep pushing yourself and you’ll surprise everyone.” Their words meant the world to me. As I stepped off the field that day, I couldn’t help but feel proud of myself. I decided to reward myself for all the hard work and dedication. I would buy a baseball glove I had always longed for since I was four years old.
