Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard. Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently—I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine—it just took a little longer as I depended on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible—always mixing up sugar and salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out—my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.
Life is precious—you don’t need to “see” that.
24．What can we know from the first paragraph
A．The reading glasses got the problem fixed.
B．She always tripped because she was awkward.
C．She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.
D．Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.
25．What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Weakness. B．Favourite. C．Strength. D．Business.
26．What can we know about the author
A．She is able to see things clearly now. B．She led a lonely and hopeless life.
C．She could help care for the kids. D．She went to the Gold Coast all by herself.
27．What can we learn from the author’s story
A．We need to go to travel frequently on our own.
B．We should always turn to the family for help.
C．Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people.
D．Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind.
C
Have you ever received a gift that was so clearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box Maybe she responded with a polite “Why, thank you,” but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities
Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy (共鸣) —the ability to put yourself into someone else’s head and heart. We’re all able to do this; in fact, we’re born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be reinforced—by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn’t, we’re not able to understand other people’s feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional qualities.
Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose shows your inner world. (Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relatives, and other people you know.)
We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won’t make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.
28．The underlined expression “you had missed the mark” means you had failed to ______.
A．make her feel better B．keep your friendship
C．get the expected effect D．receive a present in return
29．Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.
B．Emotional changes affect one’s choice of gifts.
C．Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.
D．Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.
30．In the third paragraph, the author tells us that ______.
A．the choice of gifts reflects one’s emotional qualities
B．one learns from what he did in the past
C．attention should be paid to the receivers’ responses
D．one should spend more time choosing gifts
31．What can be the best title for this passage
A．Ways of Choosing Gifts B．An Important Tradition
C．Exchanging Presents D．Message in a Gift
D
Dog owners walked about 23minues longer each day than non-dog owners In a new study, dog owners took 2,760 additional steps—compared to people who didn’t have a dog at home. Bu here’s the real good news: That extra exercise was done at a moderate pace, which means it could help adults meet their recommended weekly totals for physical activity.
The research, published in BMC Public Health, focused on adults 65 and older, who tend to be less active than younger people. The study included 43 dog owners and 43 non-dog owners, all of whom were monitored continuously for three week-long periods. When they compared the two groups, the researchers found that dog ownership was associated with a large, potentially health-improving effect.
Dog owners walked about 23 minutes longer each day than non-dog owners, 119 minutes versus 96minutes on average. They also took an additional 2,760 steps, and had eight fewer continuous periods of sitting down. Most of that extra walking was done at moderate pace, defined as 100 or more steps a minute. Dog owners walked at this pace for 32 minutes a day, versus just 11 minutes a day for non-dog owners.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week. This increased walking time alone could just about satisfy that requirement, say the researchers—so it makes total sense that 87 percent of dog owners in the study met these guidelines, versus just 47 percent of non-dog owners.
Co-author Nancy Gee says that pet ownership may help older adults get more activity or keep their present activity level for a longer period of time. “This could improve their chances of a better quality of life, improved or kept cognition (认知), and perhaps, even overall longevity,” she said.
Here at Health, we’ll add that caring for pets has been shown to have plenty of other physical and mental health benefits, as well. As animal lovers ourselves, we’re happy to add one more to the list.
32．What can we learn about the research
A．It was targeted on old people. B．It was sponsored by the WHO.
C．It had an unpopular effect on dog owners. D．It took the mental health of dog owners into consideration.
33．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A．To present the results of the research. B．To show the guidelines of the research.
C．To describe the process of doing the research. D．To explain the reasons for doing the research.
34．What does Nancy Gee think of owning a dog
A．It is too expensive. B．It is time-consuming.
C．It enables older adults to live a healthy life. D．It helps young adults to keep a healthy routine.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Non-pet owners enjoy more pleasure B．Animal lovers are more generous
C．Young people walk less today D．Dog owners walk. way more

Few people don’t know how important it is to stretch (拉伸伸展) before a workout session since it helps in stimulating your movements, warming up your body, and preparing for the exercise. But most people are extremely ignorant of the post-exercise stretching. 36 Actually, the benefits of stretching after exercise are plentiful.

My Best Teaching Experience
Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) several times in previous years because he had difficulty controlling his anger. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.
Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions by calling out their names. Unfortunately, every time I called Tyler’s name, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.
About a month into the school year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I could usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly while paying attention. By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.
He had been in so much trouble over the years. He expected his teachers to know about his past: about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return behaving worse than before.
One day, Tyler kept interrupting me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, “Tyler, why don’t you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own ” When I said that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and shouted at me. I can’t remember what he said but he used bad words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he was told not to come to school for a week.
This was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler’s anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was off school was wonderful. We achieved a lot as a class. However, he would soon be back, and I was worried about his return.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
On the day of Tyler’s return, I stood at the door awaiting him.
