Not only has it improved her range of motion, it has also helped her overcome her fear of being judged for how she moves.”（除了对身体和神经系统的好处，舞蹈还可以帮助人们接受他们的身体能做什么和不能做什么。44岁的Dawnia Baynes在胸部以下失去知觉后患上了多发性硬化症。她最近参加了一个针对多发性硬化患者的在线舞蹈课程，这不仅提高了她的活动范围，还帮助她克服了因动作而被评判的恐惧。）可知，该段主要讲的是跳舞可以帮助人们发展更好的自我接纳，帮助人们接受自己的身体能力和局限。故选D项。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Growing evidence shows that dancing can boost brain health and help manage neurocognitive (神经认知的) disorders.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在阅读的时候，不能局限于一种类型的书，而是应该广泛的阅读。文章也介绍了广泛阅读的好处。
16.根据“Many people tend to only read one type or genre(体裁) of books.(许多人倾向于只阅读一种类型的书)”以及“ As we become more mature, we should possess sufficient ideas to be able to discuss certain topics. And a good way to learn about the world is to read about it. (随着我们变得越来越成熟，我们应该有足够的想法来讨论某些话题。了解这个世界的一个好方法就是阅读它)”可知，很多人只喜欢阅读一种类型的图书，但是随着年龄的增长，我们应该广泛阅读，来增加我们去讨论不同话题的知识。由此可知，我们不应该只读一种类型的书，广泛阅读对于我们来书非常重要。B项“然而，多读书对我们来说至关重要”符合语境，能够起到承上启下的作用。故选B。
17．根据“The Outsiders made me realize that everyone’s point of view should be widely accepted as how they view things may differ from mine. Works such as The Outsiders have promoted my sense of empathy and understanding and helped me to grow as a more considerate person.(《局外人》让我意识到，每个人的观点都应该被广泛接受，因为他们的观点可能与我的不同。像《局外人》这样的作品提升了我的同理心和理解力，帮助我成长为一个更体贴的人)”可知，每个人的观点都是不同的，广泛阅读能够让我们去接受不同人的观点，提高我们的同理心和理解力。由此可知，本段主要告诉我们，广泛阅读能够让我们从别人的角度去看待世界。E项“广泛阅读使我们能够从别人的角度看世界”符合语境。故选E。
18．根据“Nowadays, a number of people tend to read books only set in a certain context, making the certain culture the norm and find anything set outside that context strange and abnormal.( 如今，许多人倾向于只阅读特定语境下的书籍，使特定文化成为常态，并发现语境之外的任何东西都是奇怪和不正常的。)”以及“This enables them to be more familiar with different cultures and be more tolerant of cultural and religious practices.(这使他们更熟悉不同的文化，对文化和宗教习俗更宽容)”可知，有些人只倾向于阅读特定语境下的书籍，这样当他们遇到不同的文化时，他们都会觉得奇怪和不正常。但是如果广泛阅读的话，就会熟悉不同的文化，对文化和宗教习俗更宽容。C项“相比之下，有些人更喜欢广泛阅读。”符合语境。However和前文形成转折关系，而下句子中的this指代C项中的“有些热喜欢广泛阅读这件事”。故选C。
19．根据“ Reading widely can also give you a greater sense of how the world works. (广泛阅读还可以让你更好地了解世界是如何运作的)”以及接下来所给的两个例子可知，广泛阅读能够帮助我们了解世界各地发生了什么事情。由此可知，G项“阅读此类书籍将使你更好地了解世界各地的许多社会问题”符合语境。G项中的“Reading books such as these”指代前文中和所举的例子一样类型的书。故选G。
20．根据“But I hope that more people of our generation begin to read a wide range of books so that they would have a broader worldview.(但我希望我们这一代人开始阅读各种各样的书籍，这样他们就能有更广阔的世界观)”可知，作者希望人们开始广泛阅读，but为转折连词，所以前面是和广泛阅读相反的事实。由此可知，A项“在我们这个时代，阅读被远远忽视了”符合语境。故选A。
21．C 22．A 23．C 24．D 25．B 26．C 27．D 28．B 29．B 30．A 31．C 32．B 33．D 34．A 35．A

My mother was already preparing Sunday breakfast for the family. “Hey, Mom,” I said and walked over to her. She put down the plate and turned around. I took out the card shyly and said, “Happy Mother’s Day!”
“I love this card!” My mother said excitedly. I was surprised to see how much she liked the simple card. “But it’s not expensive or special,” I said. “This is the most special gift ever. Thank you so much for your effort,” my mother said gently. These words encouraged me. I told my mother my worries. She told me that the price doesn’t matter at all and that what truly counts is the thoughtfulness and love behind the gift. I finally broke into a smile, realizing the true value of my card.

Some of the classrooms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, California, have one disadvantage in common: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Logan Earnest’s fifth grade classroom, and he felt it was affecting his students.
“Most of the day, they’re inside,” Earnest told CBS News. “And they don’t really get to see any trees, grass, or the blue sky.” He said the gray walls could be depressing to the kids and may affect their attention and even their attendance.
This was confirmed by former school psychologist Ernesto Rodriguez, who said the lack of windows does affect kids, because research shows being in and around nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Though no longer a practicing psychologist, perhaps he knows now more than ever the impact nature has on mental health. Rodriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) on Southern California’s Catalina Island and began focusing on his passion—landscape photography.
It was during his training to become a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids who have views out windows to trees do better academically, emotionally and creatively. So an idea to bring nature into rooms occurred to him: Why not bring landscapes in classrooms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers don’t typically use them.
Rodriguez took 360 degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) using his photography skills, then he printed them and fit them onto the classroom ceiling of Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”one student said as she entered the room. Another student said the trees brought him peace, “When you look up, it feels like you’re sitting under a tree.”
Earnest said he thought there would be many positive effects on his students. “I think my attendance is going to go up. The kids are going to want to come here more frequently. Overall, I think the kids are going to be happier,” he said.
4．What is the common challenge shared by some classrooms at Taft Elementary
A．Lack of fresh air. B．Absence of windows.
C．Insufficient lighting. D．Limited access to technology.
5．Why did Ernesto Rodriguez bring landscapes into classrooms
A．To connect the students with nature.
B．To promote his photography skills.
C．To improve the teachers’ performance.
D．To create an exciting environment for the students.
6．How did the students react to Rodriguez’s pictures on the classroom ceiling
A．They did not notice the change.
B．They failed to concentrate on lessons.
C．They preferred the original gray ceiling.
D．They were in favor of the new additions.
7．What’s Logan Earnest’s attitude towards the change in the classroom
A．Cautious and objective. B．Appreciative and supportive.
C．Concerned but doubtful. D．Curious but unsure.
C
Years ago it was popular to speak of a generation gap, a disagreement between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not show them proper respect and obedience (服从), while children complained that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared Actually the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that a gap is built into the fabric (结构) of our society.
One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and agree to, and to continue the family occupation. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family home at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.
In our easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong wish that parents have for their children is another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.
Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a feature of American life for some time to come. Its causes are rooted in the freedom and changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which society changes.
8．What is the text mainly about
A．The concept of generation gap.
B．The reasons for generation gap.
C．Ways to reduce generation gap.
D．Attitudes towards generation gap.
9．In modern society, young people often ________.
A．depend on their parents to make a life
B．live with their parents in the same area
C．ask their parents for the best advice
D．have very little in common with their parents
10．What can we infer from paragraph 3
A．Parents should be strict with their children.
B．The generation gap is partly caused by the older generation.
C．Parents couldn’t do things well themselves.
D．The young never want to satisfy their parents.
11．Which of the following also causes the generation gap
A．Parents are not strict enough with their children.
B．The young value the old too much for their wisdom.
C．Young people don’t have the knowledge of a lifetime.
D．The society develops too fast.

Growing evidence shows that dancing can boost brain health and help manage neurocognitive (神经认知的) disorders. So what is it about dance that’s different from other regular exercises
Helena Blumen, a cognitive (认知的) scientist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, says the complex mental multitasking that dance requires involves various parts of the brain at the same time. Basically, dancing requires more brain power than simpler repetitive (重复的) exercises.
While scientists are still learning how the mechanisms of dancing work in the brain, a clearer picture is beginning to appear. Researchers at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany, did MRI scans of older adults who had participated in one of two programs over a six -month period. One group practiced dance and the other did a traditional exercise program with cycling and strength training. While both groups improved their level of physical fitness, the dancers grew more white and gray matter in the parts of the brain responsible for cognitive processes. Both white and gray matter typically decline as we get older, making communication in the brain slow.
Imagine your brain is a city with loads of roads. The researchers assume the changes brought by dancing contribute to brain plasticity, which is like the city’s ability to build new roads, repair old ones or even change the direction of traffic based on how often the routes are used and what the city needs.

The Advantages of Reading Widely
Many people tend to only read one type or genre （体裁） of books. __16__ As we become more mature, we should possess sufficient ideas to be able to discuss certain topics. And a good way to learn about the world is to read about it. The benefits of reading widely are listed as follows.
__17__For instance, in The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, there is a social divide between the working-class and the upper-class. The Outsiders made me realize that everyone's point of view should be widely accepted as how they view things may differ from mine. Works such as The Outsiders have promoted my sense of empathy and understanding and helped me to grow as a more considerate person.
Reading widely helps us learn about and be more sensitive to the cultures of others. Nowadays, a number of people tend to read books only set in a certain context, making the certain culture the norm and find anything set outside that context strange and abnormal. __18__ This enables them to be more familiar with different cultures and be more tolerant of cultural and religious practices.
Reading widely can also give you a greater sense of how the world works. For example, in the autobiography, I am Malala, we read about how the brave Malala fought to be educated in Pakistan. In A Hope More Powerful Than The Sea by Melissa Fleming, readers learn about the story of Doaa Al Jamil, a Syrian refugee, whose life was turned upside down by the ongoing war in Syria. __19__
__20__But I hope that more people of our generation begin to read a wide range of books so that they would have a broader worldview. Meanwhile, they are more likely to own the sense of empathy and understand the customs and cultures of others.
A. Reading is far ignored in our age.
B. However, it is vital for us to read more books.
C. In contrast, some people prefer to read more widely.
D. Reading widely inspires us to find out the great social divide.
E. Reading widely enables us to see the world from someone else's standpoint.
F. The benefits brought by the certain type of books cannot be emphasized too much.
G. Reading books such as these will give you a better insight into many social issues worldwide.

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。
On the walk home from school, my friend, Cherry, happily said, “Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’ve been saving up for the past month and plan to buy my mother the perfume (香水)she’s been wanting for so long.” Her excitement made me realize that I hadn’t prepared anything special yet. But I only had a little money left. I began to regret spending so much on snacks every day.
I continued walking along the road, carefully thinking about what gift I should choose. I planned to buy something like flowers or chocolate, but now it seemed like those were way too simple. Therefore, I pushed open the door to a mall and tried to find the perfect gift. The bright lights shined the collection of various goods. I picked up a lipstick (口红)but immediately put it back after seeing its price. I could never afford that! Then I walked into another shop and saw a lovely cup. I picked it up and turned it over to see the price listed, hoping it was not too expensive. But once again, I couldn’t afford it even with all the money that I had. Feeling sad, I continued to wander around the shops. Time flew by quickly, and before I knew it, the sky began to darken, so I had to go home.
Since there was no time or money for me to pick out a gift, I decided to make a simple card. I held up the card, examining its hardcover, handwritten letter and the tiny pictures I’d drawn of my mom and me. It’s probably never going to compare to the expensive gifts that my friends bought for their mothers, I thought sadly.
