He has discovered how these people set and achieve great goals, and he writes and speaks on these findings.(David采访了来自各行各业的250多位顶尖成就人士。他发现了这些人是如何设定和实现伟大目标的，并就这些发现进行了写作和演讲。)”可推知，这个课程是根据成功人士的经历打造出来的。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者无意读到一个14岁的自闭症患者Anton写的一篇文章，决定将其拍摄成纪录片，在拍摄过程中，作者在Anton的身上学到了如何爱与被爱。
4. 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I thought there was potential for a documentary. The director agreed. “Find the boy!” he said.(我觉得有可能拍一部纪录片。导演同意了。“找到那个男孩!”他说)”可知，作者想找到Anton是因为想拍一部关于Anton的纪录片。故选D项。
5. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then it was time for me to go. Without saying a word, Anton stood up and started to bang his head against the wall.(然后我就该走了。Anton一句话也没说，站了起来，开始用头撞墙)”可知，在作者要走的时候，Anton拥有撞墙，结合最后一句“He was the only person in my life who let me love without any holding back and who loved me the same way.(他是我生命中唯一一个让我毫无保留地去爱，并且同样爱我的人。)”可知，Anton在一次拜访中自残是表达对作者的不舍，不想让作者离开，这是他爱的表现形式。故选C项。
6. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But lately, I was waking up in the morning with one terrifying thought: “Who am I ” Anton helped me to answer this. He was the only person in my life who let me love without any holding back and who loved me the same way.(但最近，我每天早上醒来都会有一个可怕的想法:“我是谁？”Anton帮我回答了这个问题。他是我生命中唯一一个让我毫无保留地去爱，并且同样爱我的人)”可知，拍摄这部纪录片让作者认识到自己是什么样的人，结合倒数第二段中的“That’s when the idea of a foundation began to take shape in my mind. The foundation, called Anton’s Right Here, officially opened in December 2013. It’s Russia’s first-ever centre for adults with autism. It keeps helping people with autism like Anton.(就在那时，我开始有了建立基金会的想法。该基金会名为Anton’s Right Here，于2013年12月正式开业。这是俄罗斯第一个成人自闭症中心。它一直在帮助像Anton这样的自闭症患者)”可知，纪录片上映后引起很大的反响，作者由此创建了俄罗斯的第一家成人自闭症治疗中心，由此可推断，拍摄这部纪录片影响着作者的人生。故选C项。
7. 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“With his unedited emotions, Anton reminds me every day of what it’s like to be really, unreservedly loved and to love back in return.(Anton带着他未经修饰的情感，每天都在提醒我，被真正地、毫无保留地爱着，并以爱回报是什么感觉)”可知，Anton未加修饰的爱提醒作者爱与被爱的真正感受，由此可知，作者从Anton身上学到了如何爱与被爱。故选B项。

To make it more fun, write your flashcards using colorful pens and highlight important parts.(抽认卡是记忆重要材料的好方法！为了让它更有趣，用彩色笔写你的抽认卡，并突出重要的部分。)”可知，本段主要讲的是要用抽认卡，C选项“The last option is to use flashcards(最后一个选择是使用抽认卡)”说明了要使用抽认卡，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句，故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了银杏树的历史、产地、特征、用途等。
28. 考查非谓语动词。句意：银杏树被认为是现存最古老的树木之一，可以追溯到2.9亿多年前。分析句子结构，本句的谓语是is thought，所以空处应用非谓语动词。逻辑主语The ginkgo tree和date之间是主谓关系，所以应用现在分词，作状语。故填dating。
29. 考查介词。句意：它原产于中国、日本和韩国，但现在也生长在欧洲和美国。be native to意为“原产于……”，为固定搭配。故填to。

33. 考查冠词。句意：但在秋天，它们会变成亮黄色，然后落下，这构成了一幅美丽的风色。scene意为“场景，景色”，为可数名词。这里表示泛指，且空后的beautiful的发音以辅音音素开头，所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。
34. 考查连词。句意：银杏树有两种性别，有些树是雌性的，有些是雄性的。根据空前的“some trees being female”和空后的“others male”可知，为了避免重复，空后省略了being，补充完整后为others being male，空处前后之间是并列关系，应用and连接。故填and。
35. 考查定语从句。句意：果实有柔软、肉质、黄棕色的外层，外观诱人。分析句子结构，空处引导一个定语从句，指代先行词outer layer，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which或that引导。故填which或that。
36. 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：由于银杏树已经存在了很长时间，人们将其用于多种用途。根据句中的时间状语“for so long”可知，这里应用现在完成时，表示动作从过去一直持续到现在，而且还有可能继续下去。主语ginkgoes表示复数，谓语应用复数形式。故填have been。

4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Delivery platforms are widely seen as a necessity for many restaurants, despite the low profit on a delivery order. A restaurant not on a delivery platform risks losing an order to its competitors, and that loss could be a repeat customer.

Best spring destinations in Tibet
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has long been an ideal and mysterious destination for visitors who are passionate about exploring remote lands. Here we recommend some of the best tourist destinations in Tibet.
Peach Blossom Valley, Nyingchi
The peach blossoms in Nyingchi have been dubbed as “the most beautiful peach flowers in the world”. The annual festival has become a signature tourism event on the plateau. Peach trees bloom depending on the altitude and climate, so visitors will have the chance to enjoy the blossoms.
Ranwu Lake
Ranwu Lake is renowned for its tranquility and its purity of blueness. Scenery along the lakeside varies a good deal with grass, forest, autumn leaves, white waterfowl and colorful pebbles clearly reflected in the mirror-like water. Spring coming, a reflection of green trees dances on the lake and people feel like they are walking into a romantic dreamland.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world. With a total length of about 500 kilometers, its altitude spans from 7,782 meters to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. Visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains.
Nanyi Valley
Nanyi Valley is known as “the highest green mysterious place on Earth”. Surrounded by mountains and shrouded in clouds, Nanyi Valley is an ideal spring destination for visitors, where you can find peach and azalea blossoms everywhere.
There are some other attractions. More information, please browse http://en.chinaculture.org/.
1. If you prefer the peace and the clear sky, which destination will you choose

C. Enjoying peach blossoms. D. Admiring snow-capped mountains.
3. Where is this text probably taken from
A. A book review. B. A magazine. C. A travel brochure. D. A website.
B
If you ask 100 people what subjects they wish they had been taught in school, there is a chance that the vast majority of them will complain about the lack of personal finance education. In my case, I did learn a bit about financing while in school — just not in the classroom. One of my earliest lessons on the basics of budgeting came from an unlikely source: the cafeteria.
My lunch budget was a set amount each week. Without a plan, it would be all too easy to blow through the budget long before meeting all expenses. Therefore, my very first budgeting lesson was to make a budget well. A bit of simple arithmetic (算术) helped me determine exactly how much money I could spend each day if I wanted to actually have lunch all week.
Besides, my school had relatively diverse lunch offerings. You could not only get the common hot school lunch but also find many other foods of varying attractions. As far as I was concerned, what attracted me most was the ice cream. Unfortunately, I couldn’t blow my daily lunch budget on ice cream. And I’d already figured out that splurging early in the week made for a rough time for the rest of the week. Hence, I learned my second important budgeting lesson: save for a goal. Because of this lesson, when Friday rolled around, I would have just enough left over for a wonderful lunch and the highly desirable ice cream.
Nowadays, my budget is a bit more complicated than the lunch budget in the past. Although I no longer have to save my pennies for a frozen treat, budgeting my money today uses the exact same skills I learned all those years ago. Actually, whether you’re budgeting for school lunches or credit card bills, the basics remain the same. And it’s never too early — or too late — to learn how to make a proper budget.
4. What can we learn about the author while she was in school
A. She showed no interest in financial affairs. B. She often complained about her school subjects.
C. She learned about financing from her own experience. D. She eagerly expected to get personal finance education.
5. What did the author probably realize after eating at the cafeteria
A. She should plan her lunch budget carefully. B. Her health mattered more than anything else.
C. Her budget for lunch was far from reasonable. D. She should improve her arithmetic as much as possible.
6. What does the underlined word “splurging” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Trying to save money. B. Making a plan for money.
C. Spending much money freely. D. Being concerned about money.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce some lessons about making a budget.
B. To encourage people to learn some budgeting skills.
C. To stress the significance of saving money in our life.
D. To remind people to pay attention to their lunch budget.

Have you heard of the game “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” 8 . It can provide the host with an opportunity to give the guests small gifts. The object of the game is to place the donkey’s tail as close as possible to the place where it should actually be. Typically, the winner of a round will receive a small prize.
9 . Generally, you need a large picture of a donkey without a tail and pictures of the donkey’s tail. You’ll also need a blindfold. Besides. you need to prepare a pin for each tail so that kids can attach the tails to the donkey.
When you choose an area for the game, keep security in mind. Since players may head off in completely wrong directions, it’s important to find a rather large area. The area had better be flat, without objects like big stones on the ground. 10 .
Here are the steps of the game. One at a time, blindfold the kid. hand him the tail you’ve labeled for him, and turn him slowly around at the starting point. 11 . All other players should keep out of the blindfolded kid’s way as he makes his way to the wall.
The kid should walk with his arms outstretched and place the tail as soon as he touches the wall. 12 . Then gather everyone to examine the picture and identify the winner — the player who has made the best attempt to pin the tail on the donkey in the proper position.
A. Now, the game is popular worldwide
B. Otherwise, kids may fall over and get injured
C. When touching the wall, the kid should stand still
D. It’s a western game primarily used at parties for kids
E. To play the game, you need to prepare certain objects

“My car broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. If my car was 23 to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more 24 fashion,” I added. The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. I smiled back and 25 for class. So ended my story.
I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at UNLV. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be 26 . Somehow, my story had touched them. Or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. In fact, it had all started with a student’s 27 that I was cheerful.
