“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish, by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” — Albert Einstein
If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, you’re likely to have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and it means, combined with her communication and sight problems, that normal standard isn’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.
By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student to give them much admiration and a high-five. I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done — she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.
4. What does the author think of Albert Einstein’s saying
A. Funny. B. True. C. Strange. D. Confusing.
5. What can we learn about Syona’s teacher
A. She is Syona’s favorite teacher.
B. She puts Einstein’s quote on the wall
C. She uses videos to teach her students.
D. She helps increase her students’ confidence.
6. What change has taken place in the author’s family
A. They’ve invited Ulmer’s students to their home.
B. They visit Ulmer’s classroom regularly.
C. They give each other praise every day.
D. They feel thankful to people in their lives.
7. What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching
A. Supportive B. Opposed C. Indifferent D. Negative
C
Are online friendships “real” friendships It’s reasonable to suspect that online friendships would share some benefits of face-to-face friendships but not others, and several studies have put that idea to the test.
One study published by researchers from UC San Diego, Northeastern University, Harvard University and Yale University suggests that online social activity, like face-to-face interactions, is associated with better health, and longer life.
It found that several types of social media activity were linked to reduced death rate. The strongest correlation was for activities like posting photos that were related to in-person social interactions. Activities unrelated to in-person interactions, like messaging, were associated with death rate non-linearly — that is, people who engaged in these activities in moderation (适度) were the least likely to die, with people who engaged the most and least frequently having a higher death rate.
Online friendships can also provide a lifeline for people who struggle to find social support in real life. Different studies have found that online friendships have advantages for deaf and hard of hearing, and lonely and socially anxious youth. Online conversations contributed to their sense of belonging and their openness in sharing personal thoughts. However, it’s not good news across the board about online interactions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, prioritizing online friendships and spending more time communicating online has been linked to a higher risk for Internet addiction.
Altogether, these findings suggest that a healthy balance between online and off line social interactions is best. In the words of the authors who published the study looking at deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students’ online friendships: A combination of online and off line friendship seems to be the most important friendship type for both hearing and D/HH students and it is worthwhile to encourage this friendship type.
8. What does the test focus on according to paragraphs 1-2
A. Whether online friendships have some benefits.
B. How face-to-face friendships affect our behaviors.
C. Connections between online activities and longer life.
D. Differences between online friendships and face-to-face ones.
9 What does the underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Proof. B. Analysis. C. Reflection. D. Association.
10. Which is an advantage of online friendships for D/HH teenagers
A. A chance to express themselves.
B. The ability to develop social skills.
C. The access to latest news worldwide.
D. An approach to practicing using the Internet.
11 Which of the following does the author agree with most
A. Online friendships are less suitable to D/HH students.
B. D/HH students shouldn’t spend time on online friendships.
C. A balance between online and offline friendships is a must.
D. Online friendships have more disadvantages than advantages.
D
Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different ways of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’ t have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
12. Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”
C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
D. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
13. Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles
A. They prefer to lead you the way.
B. They prefer to use body language.
C. They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.
D. They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.
14. How do Greeks give directions
A. Using street names. B. Using landmarks.
C. Leading people the way. D. Giving people a wrong direction.
15. What will probably be talked about next Paragraph
A. The importance of a map. B. The situation in London.
C. Different languages in Japan. D. The use of body language.
第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2分,满分 10分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Slow travel is about connecting deeply with your travels. Rather than rushing from one place to another, slow travelers treat each experience as an opportunity to learn and feel more deeply to the people, culture, and food they want to explore. ___16___
Relax and enjoy
Once, a vacation provided relaxation from the stress of everyday life. But over time, we began trying to put everything we want into a checklist. ___17___ Slow travel exchanges checklists for the chance to really enjoy a place. It’s amazing how much more involved you can be when you’re not in a rush. It’s easier to relax and look forward to whatever the day brings.
Have more memorable experiences
If you’re used to jumping from one attraction after another, the idea of slow travel may feel like you’ll miss the latest Top 10. In fact, you free yourself from scratching the surface of everything without enjoying anything. ___18___ Go to one museum and study the art and architecture, get the backstory rather than running through three museums and taking some photos quickly. Appreciate the destination.
Meet people and actually get to know them

Learn about the people on your food tour. You may even decide that you like someone enough to meet him/her later for lunch or a coffee. ___19___ because you are not rushing to the next big thing.
___20___
Traveling by plane, train, and bus has a bad effect on the environment. We can transport ourselves to one location and spend more time exploring it on foot, by bike or on horseback. That’s less harmful to the planet than rushing to the next thing on the list with whatever vehical that will get us there in a hurry.
A. Be more eco-friendly.
B. Experience different means of transportation.
C. This created more stress than we were escaping.
D. Making a checklist makes your journey more organized.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence increase rapidly.” he said. All I could think was: how lucky these students are to have such good teachers.
Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: wonderful. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done — she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase greatly. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.
I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all have. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.

7. What is the author’s attitude towards Chris Ulmar’s way of teaching

Are online friendships “real” friendships It’s reasonable to suspect that online friendships would share some benefits of face-to-face friendships but not others, and several studies have put that idea to the test.
One study published by researchers from UC San Diego, Northeastern University, Harvard University and Yale University suggests that online social activity, like face-to-face interactions, is associated with better health, and longer life.
It found that several types of social media activity were linked to reduced death rate. The strongest correlation was for activities like posting photos that were related to in-person social interactions. Activities unrelated to in-person interactions, like messaging, were associated with death rate non-linearly — that is, people who engaged in these activities in moderation (适度) were the least likely to die, with people who engaged the most and least frequently having a higher death rate.
Online friendships can also provide a lifeline for people who struggle to find social support in real life. Different studies have found that online friendships have advantages for deaf and hard of hearing, and lonely and socially anxious youth. Online conversations contributed to their sense of belonging and their openness in sharing personal thoughts. However, it’s not good news across the board about online interactions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, prioritizing online friendships and spending more time communicating online has been linked to a higher risk for Internet addiction.
Altogether, these findings suggest that a healthy balance between online and off line social interactions is best. In the words of the authors who published the study looking at deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students’ online friendships: A combination of online and off line friendship seems to be the most important friendship type for both hearing and D/HH students and it is worthwhile to encourage this friendship type.
8. What does the test focus on according to paragraphs 1-2
A. Whether online friendships have some benefits.
B. How face-to-face friendships affect our behaviors.
C. Connections between online activities and longer life.
D. Differences between online friendships and face-to-face ones.
9. What does the underlined word “correlation” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A Proof. B. Analysis. C. Reflection. D. Association.
10. Which is an advantage of online friendships for D/HH teenagers
A. A chance to express themselves.
B. The ability to develop social skills.
C. The access to latest news worldwide.
D. An approach to practicing using the Internet.
11. Which of the following does the author agree with most
A. Online friendships are less suitable to D/HH students.
B. D/HH students shouldn’t spend time on online friendships.
C. A balance between online and offline friendships is a must.
D. Online friendships have more disadvantages than advantages.

Traveling without a map in different countries, I find out about different ways of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office ”
Foreign tourists are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don’ t have name signs. In Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
People in Los Angeles, the US, have no idea of distance on the map: they measure distance by time, not miles. “How far away is the post office ” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely, “Yes, but how many miles away is it, please ” To this question you won’t get an answer, because most probably they don’t know it themselves.
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language. Instead, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question. What happens in the situation A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite. They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan! However, one thing will help you everywhere in the world. It’s body language.
12. Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions
A. “The post office is at Street Kamira.”
B. “Turn right at the hospital and go past a school.”
C. “The post office is about five minutes from here.”
D. “Go south two miles. Turn west and then go another mile.”
13. Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles
A. They prefer to lead you the way.
B. They prefer to use body language.
C. They often have no idea of distance measured by miles.
D. They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance.
14. How do Greeks give directions
A Using street names. B. Using landmarks.
C. Leading people the way. D. Giving people a wrong direction.
15. What will probably be talked about next Paragraph
A. The importance of a map. B. The situation in London.
C. Different languages in Japan. D. The use of body language.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D
