One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children's Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. The dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book.
At the end of the story my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book. and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous(奇迹般的)” experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to ________.
A. encourage him to do more walking B. help cure him of his reading problem
C. let him spend a meaningful summer D. make him learn more about weapons
5. The book caught the author's eye because ________.
A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. he found its title easy to understand
C. he was reminded of his own dog D. he liked children's stories very much
6. What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A. The author's mother rewarded him with books. B. The author's mother read the same book.
C. The author has become a successful writer. D. The author has had happy summers ever since.
7. Which one could be the best title of the passage
A. My Passion for Reading B. Mum's Strict Order
C. Reunion with My Beagle D. The Charm of a Book
C
Have you ever heard someone say, “you totally look like you’re a Jessica” or something similar People seem to think that they know what kind of person a “Jessica” or a “Michael” looks like. Why is this
According to a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, humans tend to associate people’s names with their appearance(外表), and can even’ guess someone’s name based on how they look.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, collected thousands of photos of people’s faces. They labeled each photo with four names. Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.
The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that certain characteristics of faces give them clues about someone’s name, Reader’s Digest reported.
However, this only worked when the volunteers looked at names from their own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who used nicknames more often than their real names. This may show that a person’s appearance is affected by their name only if they use it often.
This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become.” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.
Earlier studies have shown that gender and race stereotypes(刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be “delicate” and “feminine(女性的)”, just like the flower they are named for.
8. What was the purpose of the study
A. To find out today’s most popular English names.
B. To learn how names influence personality.
C. To find out whether names relate to their looks.
D. To show how men’s names are different from women’s.
9. What does the underlined word “clues” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. lights. B. attentions. C. methods. D. hints.
10. According to Ruth Mayo, why do some people look like their names
A. They tend to become what others expect them to become.
B. They want to please everyone around them.
C. They don’t want to be different from others.
D. They like to copy famous people who share the same name.
11. What point does the last paragraph want to explain
A. Earlier studies about stereotypes are limited.
B. Stereotypes about names can bring good results.
C. Stereotypes about names can affect people’s looks.
D. It’s not always bad to be influenced by the expectations of others.
D
In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”; it’s not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure they’re still fresh when they reach their final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth of the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
12. What is the main idea of the text
A. Voice machines help plants speak up.
B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C. IoT has brought great innovation to our school life.
D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
13. How do sensors attached to plants work
A. By passing information to a control system. B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C. By analyzing information to preserve crops. D. By recording farmers harvesting crops.
14. What can the IoT system help according to Paragraph 4
A. Expand the output of crops. B. Match supply with demand.
C. Determine the needs of farmers. D. Move restaurants onto farms.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.

47. 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。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell. “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered a middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David behaved. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading it. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day, to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised. David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them improve writing skills. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence, and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering a college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
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。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.

Dear Tom,
I am glad to hear that you have great interest in Chinese painting. I’m writing to share some tips on learning it.
Chinese painting, an important part of our traditional art, is about how to express your understandings of beauty with brushes and ink. I strongly recommend that you should read the books about Chinese painting on the book list attached to my letter, through which you’ll get a glimpse of this unique art. Additionally, it is a wise choice to attend some optional courses during your stay in our school. Thus you will surely acquire some basic painting techniques.
Sincerely hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. Wish you have a good time while staying in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】范文：
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make a difference to the boy.
