Today I received my son’s school uniform.The shiny cotton jumper （针织套衫） is rich， deep green， bearing the crest （徽章） of my son’s primary school， the one he will be attending just a week from now.I admire how nice it is， and wonder how I’ll ever keep it clean.
My primary school uniform was dark blue trousers and a blue jumper， over a white shirt with blue checked lines.My son’s shirt is white， and doesn’t have the dark blue tie that was a must during my own schooling.Instead of facing the fact that my son is now of school age， I wonder why children no longer have to wear ties.
I wore a uniform every day of my schooling， and hated it.I envied the American high school kids from movies and TV， who looked cool in their jackets.Until I turned 18， most of my clothes had lettering that spelled out things like ATHLETIC， GOALS， or many other words.These were often acquired from markets that sold cheap clothes.Except Sundays， I wore my uniform almost every single day， as did most of my friends.
When we were young， we didn’t realize that the main advantage of uniforms was to stop our parents having to buy us eight times as many clothes. It may also be why we never gave a second thought to ripping （撕破） our trousers， dirtying our shirtsleeves （衬衣袖子） and making holes in our jumpers so that， by April each year， our uniforms had been weather-beaten and time-worn.
Perhaps that’s why I have a lump in my throat （哽咽） as my son tries it on， and realize that this uniform too， so shiny and clean， will go through the same experiences：the ripping， the mending， and of course， the cleaning.
24.What is different about the author’s son’s uniform？
A.It has no tie. B.It has no shirt.
C.It has no bright colours. D.It has no school crest on it.
25.What did the author think of her uniform when she was young？
A.It cost too much. B.It was not attractive.
C.It didn’t fit her perfectly. D.It made her feel very special.
26.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4？
A.She regretted not valuing her uniform.
B.She expected to wear high-quality uniforms.
C.She cared little about her uniform while wearing it.
D.She asked her parents to buy new uniforms every year.
27.The author thinks it would be hard for her son to .
A.wear his uniform every day B.make holes in his uniform
C.try his new uniform on D.keep his uniform clean
C
It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter， particularly when it’s wet and windy outside.But new research has found that even a super-quick run can have great health benefits.In fact， it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better， but also improve brain health.Now， we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being， there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running， compared with other physical activities， like cycling.So this was something put to the test during a recent study.Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill （跑步机） for just 10 minutes.They then had to take a Stroop Colour Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing.Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
In other words， runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood.Researchers then compared these results with a similar study on cycling， which also showed improved cognition （认知）， but no mood improvement.Therefore， it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted， “Given exercise is medicine， the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug， and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better， probably more than other fitness activities.And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
28.What has the new research found？
A.Running fast benefits all of us. B.Running is the best exercise.
C.A short time run can be beneficial. D.A healthy mind encourages us to run.
29.How did the researchers get the result？
A.By using different drugs on participants. B.By interviewing some sportsmen.
C.By collecting information on the Internet. D.By doing experiments and comparisons.
30.Which is related to our happiness？
A.Cycling. B.Medicine.
C.Blood flow. D.Colours.
31.What is the main idea of the text？
A.We should go for a run in winter. B.Running really benefits us mentally.
C.We don’t need a lot of exercise. D.Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
D
Coastal communities around the world are using coir， material from coconuts （椰子）， to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸线侵蚀）.People use coir to build barriers， protecting beaches from getting washed away by the force of waves.The material is common and costs a lot less than barriers made of other materials， like wood， steel or concrete.
One project is being built along part of an eroded riverbank in Neptune， New Jersey.The effort has already greatly improved areas that were badly damaged by erosion during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.“We’re always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the shoreline，” said Tim Dillingham， the director of the group who runs the project.“And whenever we can， we like to use nature-based solutions.”
The coconut-based material is designed to break down over time.But before it does， it is sometimes pre-seeded （预先播种） with shoreline plants and grasses.The coir material holds the plants in place as they grow， finally breaking down and leaving the established plants in place to keep the shoreline from eroding.
In Boston， Julia Hopkins from Northeastern University is also using coir， wood chips and other materials to create barriers to slow the force of waves.A test project has four coconut-based barriers in waterways around Boston.Hopkins is pleased with the results she has seen so far.She said the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather than thrown away.
The method does not always work， however.In 2016， the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary （a wildlife protection area） in Edgartown， Massachusetts， built barriers around a salt marsh， an area of coastal grassland， that had eroded in the past.While the effort did help reduce erosion for a while， the material did not last long because of strong waves.
“It got blown out many times，” said Suzan Bellincampi， the sanctuary’s director.“We had it in place for a few years and we decided not to fix it again.The project was really interesting in terms of what we wanted to do and how we changed it.It works in some places； it doesn’t work in all places.”
32.What are communities near the coast doing？
A.They are making use of wave energy.
B.They are fighting to stop shoreline erosion.
C.They are building barriers to prepare for storms.
D.They are developing new materials from coconuts.
33.What might the underlined word “established” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Hard to find. B.Ready to plant.
C.Well developed. D.Newly discovered.
34.What is Julia Hopkins’ attitude towards coconut-based barriers？
A.Carefree. B.Unclear.
C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
35.Why is the project in a sanctuary mentioned in the last but one paragraph？
A.To encourage more places to follow the method.
B.To show that the method is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
C.To stress the importance of using the method to protect nature.
D.To explain how to change the method according to local conditions.

“Good.I hope we’re a million years late and there will be no piano anymore.The people of the future will be smart.They’ll understand that humans are better off without the piano.They’ll understand me，” Angela said angrily.

“Do you like the piano？”
“I hate the piano，” said Angela.
The woman started to laugh，“Come on.It’s okay to be curious.Do you know anything about jazz？”
Mrs O’ Hara then introduced jazz music to her and played a piece for her.Angela was attracted by Mrs O’ Hara’s playing.It was like nothing she had ever heard before.Mrs O’ Hara noticed Angela’s interest and invited her to try playing something herself.Angela hesitated （犹豫）， but Mrs O’ Hara was kind and encouraging.Angela played a simple piece of music with a smile on her face.

It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable night.So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel.It was a warm evening in the middle of August， but because it was raining heavily outside we had to stay in the hotel all night.There were a lot of guests at the party and the room was packed.I was dancing when I saw the smoke.People began to panic， but there were so many of us that we couldn’t get out quickly.Soon the room was full of smoke.I managed to open a window and get out of the burning building.The fire fighters arrived shortly after， but it took a long time for them to put out the fire.Luckily， all the guests got out in time.Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and breathing problems.Fortunately， the fire fighters had put out the fire before it spread to the rest of the hotel.However， the room where the party was held was completely destroyed.I was told later that it was because the building had been struck by lightning.Can you believe it？

It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable
night.So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel.It was a warm
evening in the middle of August， but because it was raining heavily
outside we had to stay in the hotel all night.There were a lot of guests at
the party and the room was packed.I was dancing when I saw the
smoke.People began to panic， but there were so many of us that we
couldn’t get out quickly.Soon the room was full of smoke.I managed to
open a window and get out of the burning building.The fire fighters
arrived shortly after，
but it took a long time for them to put out the fire.Luckily， all the guests
got out in time.Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and
breathing problems.Fortunately， the fire fighters had put out the fire
before it spread to the rest of the hotel.However， the room where the
party was held was completely destroyed.I was told later that it was
because the building had been struck by lightning.Can you believe it？

Today I received my son’s school uniform.The shiny cotton jumper
（针织套衫） is rich， deep green， bearing the crest （徽章） of my
son’s primary school， the one he will be attending just a week from
now.I admire how nice it is， and wonder how I’ll ever keep it clean.
My primary school uniform was dark blue trousers and a blue
jumper， over a white shirt with blue checked lines.My son’s shirt is
white， and doesn’t have the dark blue tie that was a must during my
own schooling.Instead of facing the fact that my son is now of school
age， I wonder why children no longer have to wear ties.
I wore a uniform every day of my schooling， and hated it.I envied
the American high school kids from movies and TV， who looked cool in
their jackets.Until I turned 18， most of my clothes had lettering that
spelled out things like ATHLETIC， GOALS， or many other
words.These were often acquired from markets that sold cheap
clothes.Except Sundays， I wore my uniform almost every single day，
as did most of my friends.
When we were young， we didn’t realize that the main advantage of
uniforms was to stop our parents having to buy us eight times as many
clothes. It may also be why we never gave a second thought to ripping
（撕破） our trousers， dirtying our shirtsleeves （衬衣袖子） and
making holes in our jumpers so that， by April each year， our uniforms
had been weather-beaten and time-worn.
Perhaps that’s why I have a lump in my throat （哽咽） as my son
tries it on， and realize that this uniform too， so shiny and clean， will
go through the same experiences：the ripping， the mending， and of
course， the cleaning.

It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run
during winter， particularly when it’s wet and windy outside.But new
research has found that even a super-quick run can have great health
benefits.In fact， it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make
us feel better， but also improve brain health.Now， we all know that
exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
But when it comes to mental well-being， there’s been relatively
little research done on the specific benefits of running， compared with
other physical activities， like cycling.So this was something put to the
test during a recent study.Researchers from University of Tsukuba in
Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill （跑步机） for just 10
minutes.They then had to take a Stroop Colour Word Test which is used to
measure reaction time in brain processing.Results showed there was a
highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity
of the brain.
In other words， runners were found to have an increase in blood
flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions
and controlling mood.Researchers then compared these results with a
similar study on cycling， which also showed improved cognition （认
知）， but no mood improvement.Therefore， it seems various types of
exercise can make us feel differently.
The authors noted， “Given exercise is medicine， the effects of
drugs differ depending on the type of drug， and different types of
exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different
effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel
better， probably more than other fitness activities.And these findings
show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the
benefit of it.

compared these results with a similar study on cycling可知，研究人
员是通过做实验和对比受试者反映的情况来获得实验结果的。
30. Which is related to our happiness？

Coastal communities around the world are using coir， material from
coconuts （椰子）， to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸线侵
蚀）.People use coir to build barriers， protecting beaches from getting
washed away by the force of waves.The material is common and costs a
lot less than barriers made of other materials， like wood， steel or
concrete.
One project is being built along part of an eroded riverbank in
Neptune， New Jersey.The effort has already greatly improved areas that
were badly damaged by erosion during Superstorm Sandy in
2012.“We’re always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the
shoreline，” said Tim Dillingham， the director of the group who runs
the project.“And whenever we can， we like to use nature-based
solutions.”
The coconut-based material is designed to break down over time.But
before it does， it is sometimes pre-seeded （预先播种） with shoreline
plants and grasses.The coir material holds the plants in place as they
grow， finally breaking down and leaving the established plants in place to
keep the shoreline from eroding.
In Boston， Julia Hopkins from Northeastern University is also using
coir， wood chips and other materials to create barriers to slow the force
of waves.A test project has four coconut-based barriers in waterways
around Boston.Hopkins is pleased with the results she has seen so far.She
said the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather
than thrown away.
The method does not always work， however.In 2016， the Felix
Neck Wildlife Sanctuary （a wildlife protection area） in Edgartown，
Massachusetts， built barriers around a salt marsh， an area of coastal
grassland， that had eroded in the past.While the effort did help reduce
erosion for a while， the material did not last long because of strong
waves.
“It got blown out many times，” said Suzan Bellincampi， the
sanctuary’s director.“We had it in place for a few years and we decided
not to fix it again.The project was really interesting in terms of what we
wanted to do and how we changed it.It works in some places； it doesn’t
work in all places.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。海滨社区利用椰壳材料制作屏障来
抵御海浪侵蚀海岸线。
32. What are communities near the coast doing？
A. They are making use of wave energy.
B. They are fighting to stop shoreline erosion.
C. They are building barriers to prepare for storms.
D. They are developing new materials from coconuts.
解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Coastal communities
around the world are using coir ...to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸
线侵蚀）.可知，世界各地的海滨社区都在使用椰子壳粗纤维来减
少海岸线侵蚀，即都在奋力阻止海岸线侵蚀。
33. What might the underlined word “established” in Paragraph 3
mean？
A. Hard to find. B. Ready to plant.
C. Well developed. D. Newly discovered.
解析： 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句可知，人们有时
会预先在椰子壳粗纤维材料中播种植物和草，在植物生长的过程
中，该纤维材料会将它们固定在原地。由此可推知，该纤维材料
最终分解时，留下的是“在一个新地方成功成长的”植物，即
“长势或发育良好的”植物，从而防止海岸线受到侵蚀。
34. What is Julia Hopkins’ attitude towards coconut-based barriers？
A. Carefree. B. Unclear.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
解析： 观点态度题。根据第四段内容可知，Julia Hopkins使用
椰子壳粗纤维、木屑和其他材料制作屏障，以减缓波浪的力量，
她对目前的测试结果很满意，同时她还指出椰子材料不仅便宜而
且可回收。由此可知，她对这种基于椰子的屏障表示赞许。
35. Why is the project in a sanctuary mentioned in the last but one
paragraph？
A. To encourage more places to follow the method.
B. To show that the method is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
C. To stress the importance of using the method to protect nature.
D. To explain how to change the method according to local conditions.
解析： 推理判断题。倒数第二段首句指出，这种方法并不总
是有效，随后列举了在一个野生动物保护区使用该方法的例子进
行说明；根据该段最后一句和最后一段中该保护区负责人所说的
话可知，提及该保护区是为了表明此方法并不适用于所有地方。
one-size-fits-all通用的，一体适用的。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
Going from middle school to the freshman year of high school is a big
change. 36
Be open to new friendships.
High school is all about experiencing new things， including new
friendships.Getting to know people you haven’t met before is a great
way to broaden your horizons. 37 Simply sitting with a new person at
lunch can be enough to get the ball rolling.
Explore the campus.
For most people， going off to high school means heading off to a
new campus. 38 They might be able to show you around the
campus， which will make you a bit more confident as you go on with
your freshman year.
Get organised.
Academically speaking， high school and middle school are very
different. 39 You can buy a planner and spend a few minutes each
night going over the notes you took in class that day.Staying on top of
your studies will make the transition （过渡） from middle school to high
school much easier.

“Good.I hope we’re a million years late and there will be no piano
anymore.The people of the future will be smart.They’ll understand that
humans are better off without the piano.They’ll understand me，”
Angela said angrily.
“Angela， if you don’t get in the car right now，I’m going to

Poliakoff， made her nervous with his lisp （咬舌） and unclear
instructions.Angela found his music boring and she was afraid of playing
the wrong note or being scolded （训斥）.She didn’t want to go to Mr
Poliakoff’s classroom.She planned to pass the hour in the sun， or under
a tree.
When Angela was walking around the music school， she heard
someone playing the piano differently from Mr Poliakoff’s music.She
followed the sound.It was coming from one of the classrooms.She looked
through the glass window and saw it was Mrs O’ Hara.Feeling curious，
Angela entered the classroom.
“Hello，” Mrs O’ Hara said to her.“Can I help you？”
“No，” said Angela.“I， uh， I just heard the music，
and ...”
“Do you like the piano？”
“I hate the piano，” said Angela.
The woman started to laugh，“Come on.It’s okay to be
curious.Do you know anything about jazz？”
Mrs O’ Hara then introduced jazz music to her and played a piece
for her.Angela was attracted by Mrs O’ Hara’s playing.It was like
nothing she had ever heard before.Mrs O’ Hara noticed Angela’s
interest and invited her to try playing something herself.Angela hesitated
（犹豫）， but Mrs O’ Hara was kind and encouraging.Angela played a
simple piece of music with a smile on her face.

O’ Hara taught her some basic jazz and helped her create a simple
tune.Though it wasn’t perfect， Angela felt a sense of freedom and
creativity that she had never experienced before.She realized that she
didn’t hate the piano anymore； she just needed to find her own way to
play it.Angela asked Mrs O’ Hara if she could come back for more
lessons， and Mrs O’ Hara agreed.
The following week， Angela began taking lessons with Mrs O’
Hara.Her parents were excited to see her finally enjoy something， and
were very supportive of her.Angela learned more about jazz music and
started practicing on her own.She even started writing her own pieces.She
knew her change was inseparable from Mrs O’ Hara.She would always
remember the day she heard Mrs O’ Hara play and discovered her love
for jazz music.It was a turning point in her life， and she would forever be
thankful for the experience.
