① “Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. But can we take this saying literally
②One popular view is that if a person practises for at least 10, 000 hours, he will reach “perfection”, or in other words, become an expert in a field. It was given by Malcolm Gladwell in his best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10, 000 hours of practice before they became successful.
③However, Gladwell’s book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalizing (概括). Anders Ericsson argued that 10, 000 hours was just an average figure. Some people may need fewer than 10, 000 hours and others may need more. He also said that practising a lot was not enough, the type and quality of practice also made a difference. Most importantly, he mentioned the importance of “deliberate (刻意) practice”. When a person practises a specific part of a skill in depth rather than as a whole, it’ll be much more effective, though it’s tiring.
④ Many other studies argue that practice alone is far from enough. In fact, a more recent study from Princeton University stated that practice only accounted for up to 26% of reaching an expert level. Many other factors (因素) such as IQ, personality, attitude, and starting age can also counted. Natural talent is an important factor, especially in sports. For instance, many baseball players in America with amazing vision can see the ball much sooner than others do. Success also depends on social factors, environmental factors, and even just being in the right place at the right time!
⑤ In conclusion, practice may not make perfect, but deliberate practice has been shown to lead us to improvement.
4．What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 2 refer to (指代)
A．The view. B．The word. C．The book. D．The field.
5．What is Anders Ericsson’s attitude (态度) to Gladwell’s view on practice
A．Amazed. B．Worried. C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful.
6．Which of the following is especially important in sports according to Princeton University’s study
A．IQ. B．Personality. C．Natural talent. D．Starting age.
7．Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A．Practice makes better. B．Rome was not built in a day.
C．Every man has his price. D．A good beginning is half done.
Like many ABCs (American-born Chinese) and young Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung took great interest in Chinese food after they’d grown up, but found it really hard to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “gap”, as Sarah puts it, compared with western recipes (菜谱) presented on TVs or Blogs.
As it turns out, though, the Leungs have right positions to do something about this. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey country, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in American food culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started a blog called The Woks of Life. Different from other food blogs, it’s intergenerational heritage (代际传承) cooking culture—The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites with their area of expert knowledge.
Kaitlin says that The Woks of Life follows along line of pioneers—like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the US and got more attention. “We feel excited we’ve made a meaningful mask over these years, explaining that there is a huge need for these recipes in the US,” she says, “it’s about the gap, yes, but there’s also a huge need. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.”
“Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times,” Kaitlin says, “now you can find them from blogs like The Woks of Life.”
8．Which of the following best explains the underlined words “gap” in Para. 1
gap n. /g p/ ①A break between two objects. ②A difference between two views or situations. ③A period of time when sth. stops or between two events. ④A space where sth. is missing.
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
9．What is the author’s purpose in writing Para. 2
A．To show the Leungs’ love for home cooking food.
B．To introduce the Leungs’ food blog to young people.
C．To point out the Leungs’ advantages to start a food blog.
D．To express the Leungs’ different feelings about hometown.
10．Why is The Woks of Life popular according to the passage
A．It provides food for ABCs and Chinese immigrants.
B．It first brought Chinese home cooking into America.
C．It was started by Joice Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai.
D．It connects Asian Americans with their food tradition again.
11．Which is the best title for the passage
A．The Woks of Life. B．Western Recipes.
C．History of Home Cooking. D．Pioneers in Spreading Culture.
—Do you know what holiday falls on November 19 — World Toilet Day, of course!
①Have you thanked your toilet today Maybe take a moment to thank this useful invention. Unfortunately, many people around the world do not have good toilets. World Toilet Day started in 2001 to draw attention to the problem. Since then, inventors around the world have been hard at work on designs for better toilets. The goal is clean toilets for all.
②Why do so many people live without good toilets One problem is water shortage. Traditional toilets use water to flush (冲) the waste away. But lots of places don’t have enough water. And if there’s no sewer system (下水道) or water treatment plant, the flushes might go into rivers or onto fields. For almost half of the world’s population, flush toilets are just not practical. As a result, there are always different kinds of toilets that do not need to be flushed.
③Composting toilets might be a good choice. They do not need water, so they’re good for areas that are dry or don’t have sewer systems.
④Haiti’s EkoLakay toilets look like a normal toilet. When you use one, wastes fall into different containers. Some plant parts, like peanut shells or shredded sugar cane stalks are added instead of flush water. This stops smells efficiently.
⑤A pit toilet is the oldest and most basic toilet, which is just a hole in the ground, maybe with an out-house over it. This is simple, but not very clean. Germs (细菌) can escape into the air and get into water. But replacing the pit with a septic tank (化粪池) is a big improvement. Septic pits are lined with plastic or clay, to stop germs.
⑥Tiger toilets get help from an unexpected partner — a kind of worms (蠕虫) on the earth known as tiger worms. These worms love to eat the wastes. Under a tiger toilet is a box with a screen in the middle. Solid (固体) waste stays in the top of the box, where the worms live. Liquid (液体) flows through small holes into sewer systems. Tiger toilets are simple to build. They are recently being tested in India and are proving quite popular.
⑦Educational ways have also played an important role in changing public attitudes towards good toilets. Schools and community programs are teaching people about the importance of them, encouraging behavior changes.
⑧The road to achieving world-wide good toilets is still long. On this World Toilet Day, let us continue to thank the convenience of the wonderful invention. By doing research on more efficient toilet technologies and raising senses of keeping clean surroundings, we can work towards a future where every person has a clean and safe toilet.
12．What does “the problem” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Thanks given to the useful invention.
B．The little effort put into better toilet designs.
C．Poor sense of the importance of World Toilet Day.
D．Not enough good toilets for a large number of people.
13．What can we know about Haiti’s EkoLakay toilets
A．They improve the pit by using a septic tank.
B．They look like normal toilets but don’t use water to flush.
C．They are just all-holes in the ground with out-houses.
D．They use a special kind of worms for wastes.
14．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of good toilets
A．Hopeful. B．Worried. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.
15．Which of the following is the best title and structure for the passage
A． B．
C． D．
根据短文内容，从6个选项中选出能分别填入5个小题空白处的最佳选项。
Lionfish are beautiful fish. They are also a special kind of troublemaker on the planet. 16 Their numbers have increased greatly in a few years there, and they have already caused plenty of problems for the ecosystem (生态系统).
St. Lucia is a Caribbean island where action is being taken against lionfish. 17 Many tourists enjoy diving in order to explore the wonders of the huge coral reefs (珊瑚礁).
Unluckily, lionfish eat the local fish that keep the reefs clean and healthy, putting the reefs at risk. 18
Instead of trying to kill lionfish, islanders are turning the lionfish problems to their advantage. They realize that one way to control the population of lionfish is to hunt (猎取) them for sport and business. 19 Although the fish have a very harmful sting (刺), they can be specially prepared so they are safe to eat. And Caribbean cooks are sure to find a way to turn these unwelcome fish into an unforgettable treat.
20 But at least the fish have been kept from reproducing (繁殖) too quickly. The lionfish are still a problem, but the islanders are making the best of a bad situation —and they are making a living from it, too!
A．And they also use the fish for food.
B．The island is famous for its clear blue waters.
C．They cause serious problems in the Caribbean Sea.
D．However, the lionfish population has not fallen by much.
E．Jobs are provided for fishermen in the protected waters.
F．Besides, lionfish often give birth to babies quickly.

For more than 2,000 years. Jingdezhen was known as the porcelain capital of the world. Today, Jingdezhen remains a national center for porcelain production. The most famous types of porcelain from Jingdezhen are famille-rose porcelain, linglong porcelain, blue-white porcelain and color-glazed porcelain. The imperial porcelain was so exquisite that it was described as being “as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, with a sound as clear as a bell.”
Among all porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, the most representative is blue-white porcelain. Blue-white porcelain originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties blue-white porcelain became increasingly popular, and since the 14th century manufacturers have shipped blue-white porcelain to world markets. The porcelain reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Its thin, translucent quality and attractive designs made it very valuable throughout Europe and the colonies, ranking first among blue-white porcelain nationwide.
Blue-white porcelain is the most famous among the four traditional types of porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, and is famous as the “ever-lasting blue flower.” The blue-white style is created by drawing the design with cobalt pigment onto the stoneware body and painting over it with a transparent glaze. This style is also known as “underglazed blue.” The piece is then fired at a high temperature. Blue-white porcelain has been in production ever since thanks to its bright colors, simple yet elegant patterns, and smooth glaze that never fades.
The Yuan Dynasty was a key period for the development of firing techniques for blue-white porcelain in China. Its unique characteristics were based on the techniques of former dynasties. It was during this period that blue and white porcelain was perfected and came to characterize the Ming Dynasty. China’s multi-colored porcelain was often given as gifts on diplomatic missions.
In 1979 Jingdezhen blue-white porcelain won a national golden prize and in 1985 it was honored with three gold medals at different international fairs. Since then, the name “Jingdezhen Blue-white Porcelain” has spread far and wide. It is by far a top product in the porcelain business, boasting the most prizes and the highest standards.
41．How many famous types of porcelain from Jingdezhen are there What are they
42．What made blue-white porcelain very valuable throughout Europe and the colonies
43．What is “underglazed blue”
44．What can you learn from the last paragraph of the passage
45．Give a proper title to the passage.

Dear Mike,
Long time no see. I want to share with you some ideas about artificial intelligence.
With the development of advanced technology, artificial intelligence will make a big difference to the future of computer science. Scientists will make a machine think like a human. These artificial intelligence machines can help people do a lot of difficult jobs.
There will be more room for the studies of its development. Scientists will use artificial intelligence to resolve scientific problems. Besides, it can be used for developing other science.
In my opinion, we should develop artificial intelligence reasonably and legally so that they can serve us better.
Do you agree with me
Yours,
Li Hua

Lionfish are beautiful fish. They are also a special kind of troublemaker on the planet. 16 Their numbers have increased greatly in a few years there, and they have already caused plenty of problems for the ecosystem (生态系统).
St. Lucia is a Caribbean island where action is being taken against lionfish. 17 Many tourists enjoy diving in order to explore the wonders of the huge coral reefs (珊瑚礁).
Unluckily, lionfish eat the local fish that keep the reefs clean and healthy, putting the reefs at risk. 18
Instead of trying to kill lionfish, islanders are turning the lionfish problems to their advantage. They realize that one way to control the population of lionfish is to hunt (猎取) them for sport and business. 19 Although the fish have a very harmful sting (刺), they can be specially prepared so they are safe to eat. And Caribbean cooks are sure to find a way to turn these unwelcome fish into an unforgettable treat.
20 But at least the fish have been kept from reproducing (繁殖) too quickly. The lionfish are still a problem, but the islanders are making the best of a bad situation —and they are making a living from it, too!
A．And they also use the fish for food.
B．The island is famous for its clear blue waters.
C．They cause serious problems in the Caribbean Sea.
D．However, the lionfish population has not fallen by much.
E．Jobs are provided for fishermen in the protected waters.
F．Besides, lionfish often give birth to babies quickly.

For more than 2,000 years. Jingdezhen was known as the porcelain capital of the world. Today, Jingdezhen remains a national center for porcelain production. The most famous types of porcelain from Jingdezhen are famille-rose porcelain, linglong porcelain, blue-white porcelain and color-glazed porcelain. The imperial porcelain was so exquisite that it was described as being “as white as jade, as bright as a mirror, as thin as paper, with a sound as clear as a bell.”
Among all porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, the most representative is blue-white porcelain. Blue-white porcelain originated in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties blue-white porcelain became increasingly popular, and since the 14th century manufacturers have shipped blue-white porcelain to world markets. The porcelain reached its peak in the Qing Dynasty. Its thin, translucent quality and attractive designs made it very valuable throughout Europe and the colonies, ranking first among blue-white porcelain nationwide.
Blue-white porcelain is the most famous among the four traditional types of porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, and is famous as the “ever-lasting blue flower.” The blue-white style is created by drawing the design with cobalt pigment onto the stoneware body and painting over it with a transparent glaze. This style is also known as “underglazed blue.” The piece is then fired at a high temperature. Blue-white porcelain has been in production ever since thanks to its bright colors, simple yet elegant patterns, and smooth glaze that never fades.
The Yuan Dynasty was a key period for the development of firing techniques for blue-white porcelain in China. Its unique characteristics were based on the techniques of former dynasties. It was during this period that blue and white porcelain was perfected and came to characterize the Ming Dynasty. China’s multi-colored porcelain was often given as gifts on diplomatic missions.
In 1979 Jingdezhen blue-white porcelain won a national golden prize and in 1985 it was honored with three gold medals at different international fairs. Since then, the name “Jingdezhen Blue-white Porcelain” has spread far and wide. It is by far a top product in the porcelain business, boasting the most prizes and the highest standards.

46．例文
Dear Mike,
Long time no see. I want to share with you some ideas about artificial intelligence.
With the development of advanced technology, artificial intelligence will make a big difference to the future of computer science. Scientists will make a machine think like a human. These artificial intelligence machines can help people do a lot of difficult jobs.
There will be more room for the studies of its development. Scientists will use artificial intelligence to resolve scientific problems. Besides, it can be used for developing other science.
In my opinion, we should develop artificial intelligence reasonably and legally so that they can serve us better.
Do you agree with me
Yours,
Li Hua
