读后续写
When Dr Henderson was assigning(指定) project mates for his psychology class，I secretly hoped he would pair me with my best friend or at least a classmate I could have some fun with.Above all，I hoped he wouldn’t assign me to work with the fiercely competitive，extremely serious fellow who always wore dark clothes and apparently had a personality to match.As fate(命运)would have it, Dr Henderson very deliberately matched everyone in class and announced that I would be working with the one person in class I wanted to avoid.
I went up to my new teammate and introduced myself.He looked at me as though I weren’t there.I felt he treated me as though I would hold him back and probably make him fail to get an A in the course.He wasn’t mean or abusive；he just gave me the impression he could do whatever project we dreamed up better if he did it alone.
Needless to say，I didn’t look forward to an entire term of being brushed off，but I tried to make the best of it and didn’t say anything for fear that I would make things worse.
The project required each team to develop a hypothesis(假说)，set up an experiment to test the hypothesis，do the statistical analysis and present the findings.Whatever grade the team received would be shared by both students.
When my teammate and I met to discuss our project，I was uneasy.Here was this challenging student who had a reputation for single-mindedness and good grades — the exact opposite of me.I was outmatched.I actually wanted to drop the class at one point，but stopped short because I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of my chickening out.I decided to stick to it no matter what.
After long discussions we somehow agreed to do a study on the psychological well-being of teenagers.I wasn’t sure what it meant exactly，but at least we had a topic.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans.____________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
We started to meet regularly to draw up our plans. Though I wanted to share my ideas with him fully，I failed to do so for fear that I would hold him back.I just kept nodding when he asked me whether it was OK to do this way or that way.I thought it was impossible to persuade him into accepting my views，so I didn’t want to waste our time to discuss.I started to wait to leave immediately we arrived at the place，and so did he.I just hoped that the presentation day could come earlier.
One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease.__________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
One day I got word that he was admitted to hospital for a serious disease.I felt so sorry to hear that and I thought I should visit him in any case.He was a little surprised to see me when I stepped into his ward with some flowers and fruits.I offered to do the rest work of our project and he invited me to share my ideas to perfect it.We began to work as a fine team and finally finished our project on time.Our hard work paid off and Dr Henderson was very satisfied with our wonderful findings.From this project，we also learned the significance of teammates.Just as the saying goes，one person can go far，but a group of persons can travel farther.UNIT 1 Period Two

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在接受了一位尼日利亚老人的建议后才明白了旅行的意义。
1．C 根据文章第一句“...I had a big dream in my mind and lots of things in my backpack.”可知，作者想要背着行囊(backpack)环游非洲。
2．D 根据上文“I left my hometown”可知，此处指到达(arrived)开普敦。
3．B 根据上文“not really sure what to do next”及下文“I met a kind，old Nigerian man.”可知，作者刚到达开普敦时不知所措，但是遇见了一个和蔼的老人，可见作者是幸运的(Luckily)。
4．C 根据文章最后一段中的“Having a student-like attitude helped me learn a lot.”可知，老人给了作者旅行的建议(advice)。
5．A 根据上文“Be like a student on your way around the world.”可知，这是一条简单(simple)易懂的建议。
6．D 根据下文“travel is about learning and observing”可知，这是作者对旅行的感悟。结合语境可知，D项realize与此处的“感悟”搭配最为恰当。
7．A 根据第三段中的“The culture didn’t __11__ me.”可知，此处是词汇复现，指观察不同的文化(cultures)。
8．B 根据下文“to learn from the locals”可知，此处指试着向当地人学习。短语try to do...意为“努力做……；尽力做……”。
9．D 根据上文“But if you study，ask questions，and __8__ to learn from the locals...”可以推断，不断地学习和提问会增加旅行的经验(experience)。
10．A 句意：所以我只是个游客。A．tourist旅行者，观光客；B．student学生；C．reporter记者；D．businessman商人。根据上文老人给作者的建议——要像学生一样去环游世界可知，作者在不认识老人之前，只是一个普通的旅行者(tourist)。
11．D 根据下文“I left the cities and towns without really __12__ anyone or anything.”可知，当地的文化也没有影响(influence)到作者。
12．A 结合下文“anyone or anything”可知，此处指作者匆匆离开这些城市，并没有真正认识(knowing)当地的任何人，了解到任何事。
13．B 结合语境，再根据主语“Those people and things”与谓语语义上的合理搭配可知，此处指那些人和东西就存在(existed)在作者曾经去过的地方。
14．C 根据上文作者接受老人的建议——要像学生一样去环游世界，再结合语境可知，此处指作者要成为一个真正的(real)学生旅行者。
15．B 根据下文“This trip satisfied me more than any other trip ever did to me.”可知，这次旅行是一次成功的(successful)旅行。UNIT 1 Period Five

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了长期处于压力下会对人的健康造成不良影响。
1．Hopefully 考查副词。句意：希望你生活中的压力源不像我们的穴居祖先那样，是一只野生动物在灌木丛中追赶你。分析句子可知，此处的Hopefully是副词作状语，修饰后面的句子。故填Hopefully。
2．the 考查冠词。句意：同上题。As is often the case为固定搭配，意为“情况常常是这样”。故填the。
3．Though/Although/While 考查连词。句意：虽然不是所有的压力都是不好的，但是我们需要从压力中解脱出来。分析句子可知，此处是一个让步状语从句，表示“尽管”。故填Though/Although/While。
4．worsen 考查动词。句意：否则，我们的健康可能会开始恶化。begin to do是固定用法，意为“开始做某事”；分析句意可知，此处表示健康恶化，故填其动词原形。故填worsen。
5．totally 考查副词。句意：压力和心脏病之间的联系还不完全清楚，但长期处于压力下会影响血压和心率，可能会导致心脏问题。此处用副词totally修饰形容词clear。故填totally。
6．which 考查关系代词。句意：同上题。分析句子可知，此处是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的句子，且从句中缺主语，故应用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
7．unhealthy 考查形容词。句意：它还会导致很多人用不健康的行为来“管理”他们的压力，比如喝酒和抽烟，这会影响心脏健康。根据后面的抽烟、喝酒可知，此处是指不健康的行为。用形容词修饰名词behaviors。故填unhealthy。
8．they 考查代词。句意：经常承受压力的年轻人和中年人可能在50岁之前就会失忆。此处缺少主语，应用主格代词。故填they。
9．shrunk 考查动词的-ed形式。句意：发表在《神经学》杂志上的一项研究表明，处于压力下的人大脑会在症状出现前几年萎缩。have sth done为固定用法，此处的shrunk是过去分词作宾补，表被动。故填shrunk。
10．to reduce 考查动词不定式。句意：因此，人们找到减轻压力的方法是很重要的，比如获得足够的睡眠，进行适度的锻炼，或者向医生寻求建议。分析句子可知，此处的to reduce是动词不定式表目的。故填to reduce。

Growing up，I wanted to be just like my mom.She was kind and caring，and always made people comfortable in her presence.For years she was a volunteer in our community.I love going to the local nursing home to help with her when I was a child.However，once I became a teenager，I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was 12，Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car.But I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends.Why did she have to ruin everything？At last，I made my way outside with my mother.Angry and annoyed，I climbed into the car and shoot the door loudly.I sat in silence，too upset to talk.“Tasha，do you know where we are going？” Mom asked calmly.I remained silent.“Sweetheart，we’re going to the children’s shelter.I have been there before and I think it would benefit you，” she explained.
I feel a pain slowly form in my stomach.How was I supposed to help there
When we reached the shelter，I was rather surprised.As we approached the front door，wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us.Maybe this wasn’t going to be so.
Mom rang the doorbell.We were led to the front room，where all of the children were playing.Toys were spread out across the floor.I noticed a baby whose body was seriously wounded.Most of the children had noticeable physical scars such as cuts，burns and scratches.What a terrible life they must have had before they moved here! My heart sank.As I was looking around，I felt a gentle pull on my shirt.

1．D 空后一句提到在过去的两年里，杰西卡和她的丈夫周游世界，从巴黎到新加坡，在每个地方停留。由此可知，这位二十五岁的年轻人是全职(full-time)从事这项工作。
2．C 结合上文可知，杰西卡在环球旅行，所以这可能听起来像是漫长且昂贵的假期(vacation)。
3．D 句意：这听起来像是一个漫长且昂贵的假期，但这对夫妇有一种不同寻常的方式让他们负担得起(affordable)旅行。
4．C 下文提到他们免费住在陌生人家里，帮助提供房子的人看房子，所以此处指他们是共享(sharing)经济新形式的一部分：在线看房者。

6．D 句意：他们会在房主不在(absence)的时候喂宠物、给植物浇水。favour帮助；defense防御；honour荣誉；absence缺席。
7．A 根据上文可知，因为是环球旅行，并且还当看房人免费住在陌生人家里，所以此处指这两位旅行者仔细地计划着(plan)他们的旅行。

11．A 第一段提到在过去的两年里，杰西卡和她的丈夫周游世界，从巴黎到新加坡，在每个地方停留。由此可知，这对夫妇被接受作为看房人的成功(success)率很高。
12．C 此处指这对夫妇被接受作为看房人的成功率很高，他们总是超出房主的预期(expectations)。
13．C 因为杰西卡和她丈夫是临时雇来看房子的人，所以房子主人不在家。因而杰西卡就会发送(sending)大量宠物快乐的照片给宠物的主人。

15．B 上文提到作为看房人，杰西卡发送大量宠物快乐的照片给房子的主人，保持房子的清洁，在去下一个房子之前留下一份漂亮的小礼物，这样会让房主觉得他们做了正确的决定(decision)。UNIT 1 Period One

七选五
When you’re a writer，finishing your book and publishing it is your biggest dream.You’re curious as to how people will react to it，and whether it could sell or not.__1__There are either things you want to change about it，or fear about people’s reaction.Still，you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream.Below are some of the most common fears that new writers face，and how to beat them.
Originality
For many new writers，originality is an issue.Considering there are so many writers out there，it’s hard to know if someone had thought of an idea before you did.__2__ And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief.The thing is that it’s hard to come out with something that’s entirely original as well.As long as you put the idea into practice in a different way，it shouldn’t be an issue.As long as you are able to cover a topic deeply，as well as provide a new and unique perspective，that should work.
People’s Opinion
It’s hard not to think about what people will think about your book，as they are the ones who have the final word.One of the biggest fears many writers deal with is how their book will be perceived by readers，and it’s human nature to think about the bad stuff first.Not only are you afraid that you won’t get followers on social media platforms that are fans of the book，but you also fear the book won’t sell.__3__ So why let this thought kill your mood？A book’s goal is to reframe old information or make new claims，so what people say shouldn’t stop you.
No Time to Write
People get busy，it’s normal.Nevertheless，it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.__4__ You can take that time and use it to write instead.Nobody says that you have to write endless pages in a day — writing a book is a whole process，and nobody is rushing you.Make sure you schedule your time，so you have time to write at least one hour daily.
__5__
You want fans to connect with you and it can be disheartening when things like your social following grow slowly.Try using tools such as social media platforms as a means to get followers.
A．Therefore，you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.
B．Growing your fan base
C．However，there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.
D．Don’t let the details stop you from sharing your story.
E．But sometimes it’s hard hitting that post button，because things are holding you back.
F．You most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.
G．Communicate with your fans
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了新手作家在职业生涯中会遇到的一些问题以及解决这些问题的方法。
1．E 空格下一句“There are either things you want to change about it，or fear about people’s reaction.”提到你或者是想对你的书做一些改变，或者是害怕人们对你书的反应。再根据下一句“Still，you shouldn’t let these things stop you from going after your dream.”可知，你不应该让这些事情阻止你去追求你的梦想。可以推断出空格处应该是在表述你的梦想被阻止了这一主题。E项意为“点击投递的按钮很难，因为总有一些事情阻碍你”切题，并且此项中的things和空格后表述的两种情况对应，都是阻碍你追求梦想的因素。故选E项。
2．A 空格下一句“And it’s not really pleasant being seen as a thief.”意为“被当成小偷真的很不愉快”。A项“Therefore，you’re at risk of being accused of stealing from someone’s work.”意为“你可能被指控偷别人的作品”，承接下文，正因为你被指控偷别人的作品，所以才会被当成小偷，且stealing与thief形成对应关系。故选A项。
3．C 本篇文章为总分结构，空格所在段落的小标题是“People’s Opinion”，这一段介绍的是作家很害怕人们的看法。C项“However，there will always be people disagreeing with you or not liking what you do.”意为“总会有人不同意你的看法或不喜欢你做的事”和本段主旨相符。再根据空格后句“So why let this thought kill your mood(所以，为什么要让这种想法扼杀你的情绪)？”，正因为总会有人有不同意见，所以不应该让这种想法扼杀你的情绪，C项能够引起下文。故选C项。
4．F 空格所在段落的小标题是“No Time to Write”，这一段与写作时间有关。根据空格前句“People get busy，it’s normal.Nevertheless，it shouldn’t stop you from doing what you love.”可知，人们很忙，这是正常的。但这不应该阻止你去写作。再根据空格后句“You can take that time and use it to write instead.”意为“你可以花费这些时间去写作”，F项“You most likely have some spare time that you use doing something else.”意为“你很可能有一些空闲时间做别的事了”，承上启下，且与本段主题相符，并且选项中的“spare time”和空格后句的“that time”相呼应。故选F项。
5．B 根据本段最后一句“Try using tools such as social media plat forms as a means to get followers.”可知，你可以尝试用一些工具作为获取追随者的方法，这里的追随者指代的是作家的书迷，所以本段在讲述的话题与获得书迷有关。B项“Growing your fan base(增长你的粉丝团).”切题。故选B项。UNIT 1 RELATIONSHIPS

When a child is told he is “uncool”，it can be very painful.He may say he doesn’t care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.But these are simple ways to handle sadness by pretending it’s not there.
Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful.If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn’t matter！” Children know that it does matter.Instead，an active way may be best.You could say，“I’m going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”
If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him.The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc.
There are things that parents can do at home，too.Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider “super”．When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.
What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out.Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own.
4．A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ________.
A．care nothing about it B．pretend to get hurt very much
C．develop a sense of anger D．do something uncool on purpose

A．seeing the child as the teacher’s favourite
B．offering the child chances to show his good qualities
C．forcing other children to make friends with him
D．asking the child to do something for partners
6．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Inviting children’s friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.
B．It’s only teachers’ work to make children popular.
C．Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.
D．Children don’t care others’ comments on them.
7．Which is the best title for the text

C．What Do Good Qualities Unpopular Children Have
D．How Can an Unpopular Child Be Helped
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了老师和父母如何帮助孩子拥有更好的品质，建立自己真正的友谊。
4．D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When a child is told he is ‘uncool’，it can be very painful.He may say he doesn’t care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.”可知，当一个孩子被告知他“不酷”时，可能会非常痛苦。他可能会说他不在乎，甚至故意做出一些不冷静的行为。故选D项。
5．B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a child’s popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.”可知，老师可以把事情安排好，这样他就有机会运用自己的能力为课堂项目做出贡献。这是其他孩子学习如何珍惜他的优点和喜欢他的方式。老师也可以通过表现出对孩子的重视来提高孩子在群体中的受欢迎程度。所以老师可以通过给不受欢迎的孩子提供展示自己优秀品质的机会来帮助他们。故选B项。
6．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.”可知，父母也可以通过多种途径帮助孩子。其中之一就是邀请其他孩子参与家庭活动，和自己的孩子交朋友。所以邀请孩子想结交的朋友参加家庭活动对他们有好处。故选A项。
7．D 标题归纳题。通读文章可知，文章从老师、家长等的角度出发，提出多种解决方案，帮助孩子由一个不受欢迎的人变成拥有良好品质且会建立自己真正友谊的人。所以短文的最佳标题为“一个不受欢迎的孩子怎样得到帮助”。故选D项。

LONDON — To get a mobile phone as a gift for 14th birthday，Lucy declared to her parents that everyone else has one.Her parents gave in.
Curious to know how her daughter would use the phone，Jane Bidder，the mother，followed Lucy to the school bus in the morning.The bus seats 20，of whom half have a mobile phone.One rings and several adolescent owners fumble with their bags.
Many parents have just come to realise that the mobile phone is no longer for travelling businessmen — it is as likely to be found in school bags.
The mobile phone seems to have become something essential for today’s teens in Britain，according to a survey published last week，by NOP，a leading market research company in Britain.Research found that 66 percent of 16-year-olds now have access to a mobile phone.
The mobile phone has been turned into a secret messaging service by teen users.When they are talking on the mobile，their parents are not able to eavesdrop on the second line.
The interview with 2，019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favour the text messaging service because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch.The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out.
For example，“cul” means “see you later”；“lol” means “laugh out loud”；and “2nite” is the abbreviation of “tonight”．All these are based on shorthand phrases on the Internet.
Many schools have banned students using mobile phones.But they are not very successful.Still phones ring in the class and disturb study.Besides，people are worried about the health risk to kids using mobile phones.
Scientists believe children are especially vulnerable(易受伤的) to mobile radiation.
8．The story of Lucy is told to show us ________.
A．British parents always meet their children’s needs
B．how British parents accept the truth of teenagers owning a mobile phone
C．British kids have good relationship with their parents
D．why every child gets a mobile phone as a birthday present in UK
9．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage
A．People worry about the harm to the kids’ health by using mobile phone.
B．Teenagers want to have their own secret.
C．Teenagers like to send messages to each other.
D．Lucy does not get the mobile phone she wants.
10．The underlined word “eavesdrop” means “________”．
A．join in actively B．interrupt rudely
C．listen secretly D．watch carefully
11．Interviews discover that children like to send messages instead of ________.
A．calling each other B．playing games online
C．writing to each other D．greeting each other
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章通过讲述Lucy 要求父母给她买手机的故事告诉读者，英国父母逐渐接受孩子们拥有手机这一现象。
8．B 推理判断题。文章第一、二段讲述了Lucy要求父母给她买手机的事例，接着第三段“Many parents have just come to realise that the mobile phone is no longer for travelling businessmen — it is as likely to be found in school bags(许多家长开始意识到手机不再是为旅行的商人准备的——它很可能是在书包里被找到).”引出话题。由此可知，作者讲述Lucy的故事是为了告诉读者英国父母如何接受青少年拥有手机的真相。故选B项。
9．D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Her parents gave in.”可知，Lucy的父母做出让步，给她买了手机，因此D项“Lucy does not get the mobile phone she wants(Lucy没有得到她想要的手机).”与原文不符。故选D项。
10．C 词义猜测题。根据第六段第一句“The interview with 2，019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favour the text messaging service because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch (对2019名7至16岁的年轻人的采访发现，他们喜欢短信服务是因为这是一种保持联系的秘密方式).”可知，短信服务给青少年们提供一种秘密的交流方式。由此推断，当他们讲电话时，父母再也不能“偷听”了，因此 eavesdrop意为“偷听”。故选C项。
11．C 细节理解题。根据第六段“The interview with 2，019 young people aged 7 to 16 found that they favour the text messaging service because they offer a secret way of keeping in touch.The days of secret notes in the classroom are dying out (对2019名7至16岁的年轻人的采访发现，他们喜欢短信服务是因为这是一种保持联系的秘密方式。在教室里放秘密纸条的日子正在消失).”可知，青少年们更喜欢短信交流，而传纸条已经绝迹了。故选C项。

Hacking Our Senses to Boost Learning Power
Some schools are pumping music，noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results.Could it work？Why do songs stick in our heads？What does your school smell like？Is it noisy or peaceful
It might not seem important，but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning，performance and creativity.Indeed，some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades.Is there anything in it？And if so，what are the implications for the way we work and study
There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning.Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results.Bridget Shield，a professor of acoustics(声学) at London South Bank University，and Julie Dockrell，from the Institute of Education，have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises，such as traffic and sirens(汽笛)，as well as noise generated by the children themselves.When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks，they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.
“Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance，in numeracy，in literacy，and in spelling，” says Shield.The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.
Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is — and the volume.In a series of studies published last year，Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested people’s creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises — such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling — at different volumes.They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low.Loud background noise，however，damaged their creativity.
Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class.Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks，the so-called Mozart effect.While the evidence actually suggests it’s hard to say classical music boosts brainpower，researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well，says Perham，who has done his own studies on the phenomenon.The key appears to be that you enjoy what you’re hearing.“If you like the music or you like the sound — even listening to a Stephen King novel — then you do better.It doesn’t matter about the music，” he says.
So，it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students，so long as they make careful choices.Yet this isn’t the only sense being used to affect learning.Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells — grapefruit scents for maths，lavender for French and spearmint for history.
12．The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to ________.
A．create some sense of humour to please the readers
B．provide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadays
C．hold the readers’ attention and arouse their curiosity to go on reading
D．declare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key to those questions
13．What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest
A．Peaceful music plays an active role in students’ learning.
B．Not all noises have a negative impact on children’s performance.
C．We should create for school children a more peaceful environment.
D．Children with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.
14．Ravi Mehta’s experiment indicates that ________.
A．students’ creativity improves in a quiet environment
B．we may play some Mozart music while students are learning
C．a proper volume of background noises does improve creativity
D．noise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling
15．Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students’ learning and creativity，the author’s attitude is ________.
A．ambiguous B．doubtful
C．negative D．supportive
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。本文作者通过对几个实验的介绍来说明气味和声音可以对学生的学习、表现和创造力产生影响。
12．C 推理判断题。由第一段第一句“Some schools are pumping music，noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results(一些学校正在把音乐、噪音和好闻的气味注入教室，看是否能提高考试成绩).”可知，后面的四个问题都是由第一句话引出，目的在于抓住读者的注意力，激发他们继续阅读的好奇心。故选C项。
13．C 推理判断题。由第三段的“When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks，they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.”和第四段的“‘Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on children’s performance，in numeracy，in literacy，and in spelling，’ says Shield.”可推断出，噪音对孩子有害，所以我们应该为孩子创造一个更平静的环境。故选C项。
14．C 细节理解题。由第五段的“They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low(他们发现，当背景噪音处于中等水平时，人们比音量较低时更有创造力).”可知，适当的背景噪音可以提高创造力。故选C项。
15．D 推理判断题。由最后一段的“So，it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students，so long as they make careful choices.”和“Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells — grapefruit scents for maths，lavender for French and spearmint for history.”可知，营造积极声音背景可促进学习，鼓励在不同科目上展现不同味道，可推断出作者的态度是支持的。故选D项。

Apologise to them and accept their apology.Even if you didn’t do anything and you believe the situation is their fault，opening with an apology sets the tone.You could say，“I’m really sorry that things have gotten to this point.__19__” If you did something wrong，apologise to them frankly.If they apologise to you，accept their apology kindly.
Take things slowly.If you and your best friend had a major falling out，hanging out every day after school as you used to do probably isn’t the healthiest way to rebuild things.__20__ This will give you both time to heal and rebuild your friendship together.

Respecting Parents Programme
Showing respect to parents is one of the Chinese traditional moral values.As most of the students today are “the only child” in their family，they often regard themselves as the “centre” of the family，without caring much about their parents.Our school started a programme.It is “Respecting Parents Programme”．“10 do’s” have been worked out for the students to follow clearly and easily，including：
“Remember your parents’ birthdays and express your good wishes to them；say ‘hello’ to your parents when you see them returning home；and tell your parents where you go when you leave home.”
Since then the programme has been successful，winning praises from parents and other sides of the society.People say this is what we should have done earlier!
第二节(满分25分)
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。
(重庆市2022－2023学年期末质量检测)Mrs Palin spoke as she walked to the front of the classroom，“Next Wednesday，I’ll give you a test to check your ability as a conductor.Now，select one of the composers listed on the blackboard.And after class，find a tape containing the composition created by the composer.During the test，use the tape player to play the composition.When the music starts，imagine you are the conductor of an orchestra(管弦乐队) that performs the composer’s music.”
And then she smiled，“You’ll receive the test in front of your classmates.”
“What？A test in front of the classmates？It will kill me，” I said to myself.Although normally I perform well in music，and often have high marks，I am quite a shy girl.After a short while，I took a deep breath and looked through the list of names on the blackboard.One name caught my attention.
“Who’s that person？” I wondered.I didn’t know，but that was going to be my choice.Seated in the classroom，I fixed my eyes on that name anxiously，hoping no one would announce that name.Finally，it was my turn.I said without a second thought，“Johannes Brahms.” Once I said the name，panic washed over me.I sighed，“How am I going to do this？I know nothing about the person and his composition.But I have to perform in front of my classmates and teacher.”
Later in the day，I went to a store and bought a tape that contained Johannes Brahms’s compositions and its relevant music notation(符号).Back home，I played the tape，and tried to get familiar with the composition.When listening to the composition and looking at the music score，I held a stick and moved my arms to and fro(来回地)，pretending to be guiding an orchestra.During the following days，I kept practising but didn’t perform quite well.The composition was indeed hard for me.
When the big day came，I felt nervous as I slipped into my seat and waited for my turn to perform.Eventually，Mrs Palin called my name，“Jill，it’s your turn.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

Then，I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom.____________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
Then，I forced myself to walk to the front of the classroom.Standing in front of all the students made me very nervous，and my legs kept shaking.To make the matter worse，my brain went blank at that very moment，forgetting my previous practice.However，I tried to remind myself to be calm.After a few deep breaths，I felt much better and began to perform.Thinking my conduct must be terrible，I was even unwilling to think about the result.
The next day，Mrs Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score.________________ _______________________________________________________________________________
One possible version：
The next day，Mrs Palin handed each student a piece of paper with a score.With my report card in hand，my heart pounded because I was afraid that I would be the one who got the lowest score.I closed my eyes and slowly opened my report card.To my surprise，I got a high score.When the teacher announced that I was the best in my class，I almost jumped with joy.I understood that only by working hard can we get good results.
