B
Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to
find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make
something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”
A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others
checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built
something out of their own imaginations.
Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time, his constructions filled a shelf
in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here
was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class
whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.
Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different
style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.”
“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep ”
“Oh, sure.”
“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying
in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you ”
“Nobody. I do it.”
“Really-at night, when you’re asleep ”
“Sure.”
“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay ”
14. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.
A. know more about the students
B. make the lessons more exciting
C. raise the students’ interest in art
D. teach the students about toy design
15. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3
A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone.
C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative.
16. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Mistake. B. Drawback.
C. Difficulty. D. Burden.
17. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams
A. To help them to see their creativity.
B. To find out about their sleeping habits.
C. To help them to improve their memory.

Elephant Transit Home
In both Africa and Asia elephants are being threatened by changes in their natural habitats (栖息地). People are
moving into the elephants’ habitats and endangering their survival. In the country of Sri Lanka, there is one place
where elephants are not only protected but also respected. It is called the Elephant Transit Home (ETH).
Set up in 1995, the ETH aims to protect and nurture baby elephants that are found injured or living without their
mothers in the wild. Every year about 30 baby elephants in Sri Lanka need help. As many as possible are brought to
the ETH. There they are given food, shelter, and medical care. Most importantly, they are given the chance to be with
other elephants and become part of a herd (象群).
A day at the ETH begins early in the morning when the baby elephants are given their first feeding of milk.
During the day, each baby will drink an average of 13 gallons of milk. Older elephants are fed mostly coconut leaves
and other native plants. Then the elephants are allowed to walk around, eating the grass and forming a herd. The cost
of caring for the baby elephants is high. The ETH spends about $125,000 each year on powdered milk for the baby
elephants.
At the ETH, workers try to reduce human connection with the elephants. They also try to increase bonds (联系)
between the elephants. It usually takes three years for a baby elephant to be set free into its natural habitat. The
elephants are sent back to the wild together with other orphans with whom they have bonded. This program helps
them return to the wild as members of a herd that will communicate with each other and take care of each other.
The ETH is considered one of the best animal protection sites in the world. Not only are the elephants cared for,
they are treated with respect. Most importantly, they go back to live in the wild, where they belong.
18. What does the underlined word “nurture” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Set free. B. Relate to. C. Focus on. D. Care for.
19. What do we know about the ETH
A. It changes elephants’ habitats for the better.
B. It receives about $125,000 each year.
C. It helps to keep baby elephants safe.
D. It protects 30 elephants every year.
20. Why do the workers reduce human connection with the elephants
A. To study them better in a natural environment.
B. To help them make it in the wild as a herd.
C. To provide them with more living space.
D. To train them to stay away from hunters.
21. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce an animal protection site.
B. To show the ways of wildlife protection.
C. To explain the threat baby elephants face.
D. To persuade the readers to protect elephants.

Are you addicted to computer games Do you stay up all night playing them Do you feel happy after you play
computer games
There’s no doubt that the excitement and appeal of games these days make them hard to put down. We are
attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play — creating your own fantasy characters and
stories, giving you chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where
you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited
from the games.
However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us Should
we worry about their effects on our health Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything
from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety advisor, Alan MacKenzie, thinks
“many people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in
there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention
children” .
Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games
could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using
games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games
can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.
Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on
their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works
together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.
So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can
all take part. If video games have two sides, which side do you stand by
22. The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to .
A. lead into the topic of the passage
B. show his worries about the effect of playing computer games on health
C. doubt the advantage of playing computer games
D. ask the readers for their own opinions about games
23. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us .
A. games contain extreme violence
B. the contents of the game are complex
C. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment
D. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school
24. According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives
A. Li Hua learnt many English words from playing games.
B. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.
C. Yang Li let out her anger and depression.
D. Sun Yang worked well with his teammates.
25. In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea .
A. with descriptive words
B. by giving some examples
