A
What can our ears do Are there any differences between the left ear and the right ear Scientists in Switzerland found that things sound different in two ears. The direction from which you hear sounds can influence how much you like them.
The scientists invited 13 people to their study. They listened to different sounds from three directions: the front, left and right. During the study, their brains (脑) were scanned (扫描) at the same time.
Sounds about good feelings, such as laughter, cause the strongest brain activity when they are heard from the left. All areas in the brain related to hearing are active. This means people may be happier when “good” sounds go in their left ear. This didn’t happen when sounds about bad feelings, such as screams of being afraid, came from the left. Also, the brain isn’t usually as active when hearing sounds from the front or right. So next time you want to say sweet words to your friends, what about trying to speak in their left ear
However, scientists still don’t know what causes this. In the future, they want to do more research about this, and also see if other body parts have such differences.
Besides, some researchers have pointed out that humans have a special way of reacting to (对……反应) sounds. For example, people are more careful when they hear sounds from the back. Also, sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away. These can be explained by evolution (进化). In the past, when humans lived in the wild, sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.
1. It can cause the strongest brain activity when hearing _______.
A. sounds about bad feelings from the left B. sounds about good feelings from the left
C. sounds about bad feelings from the right D. sounds about good feelings from the right
2. What can we learn from the article
A. 31 people were invited to the study.
B. People may be happier when “good” sounds go in their right ear.
C. Humans are more careful when they hear words from the front.
D. More research will be done on the differences between ears and other body parts.
3. The last paragraph is developed by _______.
A. listing numbers B. giving examples
C. showing problems D. sharing experiences
4. What’s the theme of the article
A. Health and sport B. History and culture C. Science and humans D. Language and art
B
Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you became the master of your own life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives around and around, never getting anywhere, just wasting time. Which driver do you want to be
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Like making a serious promise to yourself, they are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals in a way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
…
5. The writer ________ in Para. 2 to express his idea.
A. tells stories B. lists numbers C. gives examples D. gives reasons
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Only successful people can plan their future life well and set lots of goals.
B. People who always win in life set goals without following all the way on them.
C. No one can help you find out your goals or decide in what direction to live your life.
D. You should make a promise with yourself so you can make your goal come true easily.
7. What will the writer write about in the following part
A. Ways to realize your goals. B. Ways to find out your goals.
C. The importance of setting a goal. D. The difficulty on setting a goal.

①Chinese calligraphy was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (课程). However, for many reasons, some people think it’s less important to teach this art form at school now. In this article, I will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.
②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression. Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting. It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form. When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.
③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience. At the times of high technology, students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning. By practicing Chinese calligraphy in the classroom, students’ patience can be improved because of each brush movement.
④From the above, it can be seen that there are clear advantages. However, others think there are some disadvantages. The first one is that it has little to do with students’ life. Living in a modern age, pens and paper will lose their importance by and by. So, won’t it be a backward (倒退的) step if students are asked to learn Chinese calligraphy at school
⑤The second one is that it takes a long time to master. The time at school is better spent on more important subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages. This special art form is one of China’s national treasures. It also helps to enrich students’ life and improve their sense of beauty. So without doubt, it should be included in the school curriculum.
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. High technology can help students become more patient.
B. Students should spend more time on after-school activities.
C. Students may like art works better after learning Chinese calligraphy.
D. Learning Chinese calligraphy gets more popular in the modern age.
9. What does the writer probably think of learning Chinese calligraphy
A. Important and necessary. B. Valuable but backward.
C. Popular and interesting. D. Meaningful but boring.
10. Which of the following is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
D
My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom.
I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot.
A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids.
Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.
11. Which of the following sentences should go in the empty box in the third paragraph
A. Now he collects ornaments for all of us. B. Now he makes some cookies for all of us.
C. Now he takes away the rubbish for all of us. D. Now he writes thank-you notes for all of us.
12. Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage
a. We first met Tom and Gee. b. Gee gave Christmas ornaments to the kids.
c. Tom fought in the war. d. I made some cookies to thank Tom.
e. We wrote a letter to Gee.
A. acdeb B. abcde C. acdbe D. cabed
13. What can we infer from the passage
A. The kids are excited to see the cartoon characters.
B. Neighbors didn’t help Gee when Tom wasn’t at home.
C. The writer plans to move because Tom passed away.
D. The writer doesn’t want to leave the neighborhood.
14. What could be the best title of this passage
A. A nice couple B. What it really means to be a neighbor
C. An unusual experience D. What an elderly man does for us

Later the trader Haley and his slaves (黑奴) started their journey on the Ohio River on a steamboat, the La Belle Riviere. It was crowded with people on the deck.
One day, Haley went on business at a small town. Later the trader returned with a black woman. She had a baby in her arms. She was smiling and wearing nice clothes with a large box.
As the La Belle Riviere started sailing, the woman sat down with her baby. Haley said something to her. She became worried. “I don’t believe it.” Uncle Tom heard her say.
“Look here!” said Haley, showing her a document. “This says your master sold you. Your name is Lucy, isn’t it ”
“He told me that I was going down to Louisville for a job as cook at the same restaurant where my husband works,” said the woman. Then she became quiet, sat on her box, turned her back to the land and stared at the river.
At Louisville, when Lucy got up to the side of the steamboat, hoping to see her husband, a man took her baby and got off— he paid 45 dollars for the baby. When they left Louisville, Lucy returned to her seat and found her baby was missing.
“Lucy,” said the trader, “you couldn’t take your child down south. I sold him to a very good family that will take care of him better than you.”
Lucy sat down. She looked calm.
“I know it’s hard, at first, Lucy,” he started, “but you’re a clever lady and you’ll understand.”
“Master, please don’t talk to me now,” said the woman.
Uncle Tom went to sit with Lucy, and tried to comfort her, but she didn’t want to listen.
Night came and everybody went to sleep, but something woke Tom up at midnight. He saw something move quickly to the side of the boat. And he heard a splash (落水声) in the water. He got up and saw that Lucy, wasn’t there.

①Chinese calligraphy was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (课程). However, for many reasons, some people think it’s less important to teach this art form at school now. In this article, I will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.
②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression. Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting. It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form. When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.
③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience. At the times of high technology, students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning. By practicing Chinese calligraphy in the classroom, students’ patience can be improved because of each brush movement.
④From the above, it can be seen that there are clear advantages. However, others think there are some disadvantages. The first one is that it has little to do with students’ life. Living in a modern age, pens and paper will lose their importance by and by. So, won’t it be a backward (倒退的) step if students are asked to learn Chinese calligraphy at school
⑤The second one is that it takes a long time to master. The time at school is better spent on more important subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages. This special art form is one of China’s national treasures. It also helps to enrich students’ life and improve their sense of beauty. So without doubt, it should be included in the school curriculum.

We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom.
I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot.
A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids.
Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments. Maybe I want to show our thanks to Tom for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.

A
What can our ears do Are there any differences between the left ear and the right ear Scientists in Switzerland found that things sound different in two ears. The direction from which you hear sounds can influence how much you like them.
The scientists invited 13 people to their study. They listened to different sounds from three directions: the front, left and right. During the study, their brains (脑) were scanned (扫描) at the same time.
Sounds about good feelings, such as laughter, cause the strongest brain activity when they are heard from the left. All areas in the brain related to hearing are active. This means people may be happier when “good” sounds go in their left ear. This didn’t happen when sounds about bad feelings, such as screams of being afraid, came from the left. Also, the brain isn’t usually as active when hearing sounds from the front or right. So next time you want to say sweet words to your friends, what about trying to speak in their left ear
However, scientists still don’t know what causes this. In the future, they want to do more research about this, and also see if other body parts have such differences.
Besides, some researchers have pointed out that humans have a special way of reacting to (对……反应) sounds. For example, people are more careful when they hear sounds from the back. Also, sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away. These can be explained by evolution (进化). In the past, when humans lived in the wild, sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.
1. It can cause the strongest brain activity when hearing _______.
A. sounds about bad feelings from the left B. sounds about good feelings from the left
C. sounds about bad feelings from the right D. sounds about good feelings from the right
2. What can we learn from the article
A. 31 people were invited to the study.
B. People may be happier when “good” sounds go in their right ear.
C. Humans are more careful when they hear words from the front.
D. More research will be done on the differences between ears and other body parts.
3. The last paragraph is developed by _______.
A. listing numbers B. giving examples
C. showing problems D. sharing experiences
4. What’s the theme of the article
A. Health and sport B. History and culture C. Science and humans D. Language and art
B
Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you became the master of your own life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives around and around, never getting anywhere, just wasting time. Which driver do you want to be
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Like making a serious promise to yourself, they are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals in a way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
…
5. The writer ________ in Para. 2 to express his idea.
A. tells stories B. lists numbers C. gives examples D. gives reasons
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Only successful people can plan their future life well and set lots of goals.
B. People who always win in life set goals without following all the way on them.
C. No one can help you find out your goals or decide in what direction to live your life.
D. You should make a promise with yourself so you can make your goal come true easily.
7. What will the writer write about in the following part
A. Ways to realize your goals. B. Ways to find out your goals.
C. The importance of setting a goal. D. The difficulty on setting a goal.

①Chinese calligraphy was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (课程). However, for many reasons, some people think it’s less important to teach this art form at school now. In this article, I will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.
②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression. Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting. It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form. When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.
③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience. At the times of high technology, students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning. By practicing Chinese calligraphy in the classroom, students’ patience can be improved because of each brush movement.
④From the above, it can be seen that there are clear advantages. However, others think there are some disadvantages. The first one is that it has little to do with students’ life. Living in a modern age, pens and paper will lose their importance by and by. So, won’t it be a backward (倒退的) step if students are asked to learn Chinese calligraphy at school
⑤The second one is that it takes a long time to master. The time at school is better spent on more important subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages. This special art form is one of China’s national treasures. It also helps to enrich students’ life and improve their sense of beauty. So without doubt, it should be included in the school curriculum.
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. High technology can help students become more patient.
B. Students should spend more time on after-school activities.
C. Students may like art works better after learning Chinese calligraphy.
D. Learning Chinese calligraphy gets more popular in the modern age.
9. What does the writer probably think of learning Chinese calligraphy
A. Important and necessary. B. Valuable but backward.
C. Popular and interesting. D. Meaningful but boring.
10. Which of the following is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.
D

What can our ears do Are there any differences between the left ear and the right ear Scientists in Switzerland found that things sound different in two ears. The direction from which you hear sounds can influence how much you like them.
The scientists invited 13 people to their study. They listened to different sounds from three directions: the front, left and right. During the study, their brains (脑) were scanned (扫描) at the same time.
Sounds about good feelings, such as laughter, cause the strongest brain activity when they are heard from the left. All areas in the brain related to hearing are active. This means people may be happier when “good” sounds go in their left ear. This didn’t happen when sounds about bad feelings, such as screams of being afraid, came from the left. Also, the brain isn’t usually as active when hearing sounds from the front or right. So next time you want to say sweet words to your friends, what about trying to speak in their left ear
However, scientists still don’t know what causes this. In the future, they want to do more research about this, and also see if other body parts have such differences.
Besides, some researchers have pointed out that humans have a special way of reacting to (对……反应) sounds. For example, people are more careful when they hear sounds from the back. Also, sounds that travel toward a person may cause more fear than those traveling away. These can be explained by evolution (进化). In the past, when humans lived in the wild, sounds that were getting closer or from the back were usually very dangerous.
1. It can cause the strongest brain activity when hearing _______.
A. sounds about bad feelings from the left B. sounds about good feelings from the left
C. sounds about bad feelings from the right D. sounds about good feelings from the right
2. What can we learn from the article
A. 31 people were invited to the study.
B. People may be happier when “good” sounds go in their right ear.
C. Humans are more careful when they hear words from the front.
D. More research will be done on the differences between ears and other body parts.
3. The last paragraph is developed by _______.
A. listing numbers B. giving examples
C. showing problems D. sharing experiences
4. What’s the theme of the article
A. Health and sport B. History and culture C. Science and humans D. Language and art

Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you became the master of your own life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives around and around, never getting anywhere, just wasting time. Which driver do you want to be
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to live your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Like making a serious promise to yourself, they are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals in a way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
…
5. The writer ________ in Para. 2 to express his idea.
A. tells stories B. lists numbers C. gives examples D. gives reasons
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Only successful people can plan their future life well and set lots of goals.
B. People who always win in life set goals without following all the way on them.
C. No one can help you find out your goals or decide in what direction to live your life.
D. You should make a promise with yourself so you can make your goal come true easily.
7. What will the writer write about in the following part
A. Ways to realize your goals. B. Ways to find out your goals.
C. The importance of setting a goal. D. The difficulty on setting a goal.

①Chinese calligraphy was once considered an important part of the school curriculum (课程). However, for many reasons, some people think it’s less important to teach this art form at school now. In this article, I will look at both the advantages and disadvantages of learning Chinese calligraphy at school.
②One reason why Chinese calligraphy should be learned at school is that it is an important form of culture expression. Clearly, it is not just about practicing handwriting. It is also about connecting with a traditional Chinese art form. When students learn this art in class, they will become more interested in the works of famous Chinese artists.
③Another reason is that it may help students to develop patience. At the times of high technology, students are getting less patient for traditional classroom learning. By practicing Chinese calligraphy in the classroom, students’ patience can be improved because of each brush movement.
④From the above, it can be seen that there are clear advantages. However, others think there are some disadvantages. The first one is that it has little to do with students’ life. Living in a modern age, pens and paper will lose their importance by and by. So, won’t it be a backward (倒退的) step if students are asked to learn Chinese calligraphy at school
⑤The second one is that it takes a long time to master. The time at school is better spent on more important subjects. After all, learning Chinese calligraphy can always be done as an after-school activity if students are really interested in it.
⑥In my opinion, there are more advantages than disadvantages. This special art form is one of China’s national treasures. It also helps to enrich students’ life and improve their sense of beauty. So without doubt, it should be included in the school curriculum.
8. What can we learn from the passage
A. High technology can help students become more patient.
B. Students should spend more time on after-school activities.
C. Students may like art works better after learning Chinese calligraphy.
D. Learning Chinese calligraphy gets more popular in the modern age.
9. What does the writer probably think of learning Chinese calligraphy
A. Important and necessary. B. Valuable but backward.
C. Popular and interesting. D. Meaningful but boring.
10. Which of the following is the structure of the passage
A. B. C. D.

My kids sit in Gee’s living room and carefully lift Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a box. They are excited to see the cartoon characters. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had taken away our rubbish to the rubbish bin, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we noticed him: an elderly man who lived across the street—Tom.
I made cookies and left them on a bench outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, we found a letter from Tom, explaining when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken away the rubbish for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot.
A few years later, Tom died. We wrote a letter to Gee, telling her how thankful we were to have known him. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We have packed all the moving boxes, but we can’t seem to put up the “For Sale” sign on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave baskets full of food for our kids.

Later the trader Haley and his slaves (黑奴) started their journey on the Ohio River on a steamboat, the La Belle Riviere. It was crowded with people on the deck.
One day, Haley went on business at a small town. Later the trader returned with a black woman. She had a baby in her arms. She was smiling and wearing nice clothes with a large box.
As the La Belle Riviere started sailing, the woman sat down with her baby. Haley said something to her. She became worried. “I don’t believe it.” Uncle Tom heard her say.
“Look here!” said Haley, showing her a document. “This says your master sold you. Your name is Lucy, isn’t it ”
“He told me that I was going down to Louisville for a job as cook at the same restaurant where my husband works,” said the woman. Then she became quiet, sat on her box, turned her back to the land and stared at the river.
At Louisville, when Lucy got up to the side of the steamboat, hoping to see her husband, a man took her baby and got off— he paid 45 dollars for the baby. When they left Louisville, Lucy returned to her seat and found her baby was missing.
“Lucy,” said the trader, “you couldn’t take your child down south. I sold him to a very good family that will take care of him better than you.”
Lucy sat down. She looked calm.
“I know it’s hard, at first, Lucy,” he started, “but you’re a clever lady and you’ll understand.”
“Master, please don’t talk to me now,” said the woman.
Uncle Tom went to sit with Lucy, and tried to comfort her, but she didn’t want to listen.
Night came and everybody went to sleep, but something woke Tom up at midnight. He saw something move quickly to the side of the boat. And he heard a splash (落水声) in the water. He got up and saw that Lucy, wasn’t there.
