As parents, we always hope to develop character traits (特征) in our children that will enhance their success in life. When our daughter Meegan, the eldest of five children, lost her front tooth at the age of six, we found the following note wrapped around the tiny tooth:
Dear Tooth Fairy,
Please leave me your magic wand (杖). I want to be a tooth fairy, too.
Luv Meegan
Recognizing potential leadership skills, precious opportunity and the teachable moment, the “Tooth Fairy” left the following note for little Meegan:
Dear Meegan,
I have worked hard to be a good Tooth Fairy and I love my job. You are too young for the job just now, so I cannot give you my wand. But there are some things that you can start to do to prepare yourself for the job:
1)Always do your best in every job that you do.
2)Treat all people as you wish to be treated.
3)Be kind and helpful to others.
4)Always listen carefully whenever people speak to you. I will interview you one day when you are older and ready for the job.
Good Luck, Meegan!
The Tooth Fairy
Meegan was excited at the response from the Tooth Fairy. She took the message to heart and carefully followed the instructions, always working to improve as she grew. Her character, her strength and her leadership skills grew right along with her. After graduating from college, Meegan accepted a challenging management position. She excelled, and by age 27, she was the top manager of the company.
One day Meegan and I were talking about her success. She told me that the company president had once asked her what influences had motivated her toward success.
“What did you tell him?” I asked.
She replied, “My parents, my teacher and my friends. And, of course, the Tooth Fairy!”

Students perform less well in final exams if smartphones are allowed in class, for non-academic(非学业的) purposes in lectures,a new study in Educational Psychology finds. Students who don't use smartphones themselves but attend lectures where their use is acceptable also do worse,suggesting that smartphone use damages the group learning environment.
Researchers from Rutgers University in the US performed an in-class experiment to test whether dividing attention between smartphones and the lecturer during the class affected students' performance in within-lecture tests and a final exam.118 students at Rutgers University took part in the experiment during one term of their course. Smartphones were not allowed in half of the lectures and allowed in the other half.When smartphones were allowed,students were asked to record whether they had used them for non-academic purposes during the lecture.
The study found that having a smartphone didn't lower students' scores in comprehension tests within lectures,but it did lower scores in the final exam by at least 5%, or half a grade. This finding shows for the first time that the main effect of divided attention in the classroom is on the length of time in keeping memory,with fewer things of a study task later remembered.In addition, when the use of smartphones was allowed in class,performance was also poorer for students who did not use them as well as for those who did.
The study's lead author,Professor Arnold Glass, added:“These findings should alarm students and teachers that dividing attention is having a not obvious but harmful effect that is damaging their exam performance and final grade.To help manage the use of smartphones in the classroom,teachers should explain to students the alarming effect—not only for themselves, but for the whole class.”
This is the first-ever study in an actual classroom showing a relationship between losing attention from smartphones and exam performance.However, more research is required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。美国罗格斯大学的一项实验发现,课堂上允许携带智能手机会影响学生的学习成绩。
28.What is the purpose of paragraph 1

√
29.What can we learn from the experiment about having a smartphone in class
A.It had no bad effect if students do not use them.
B.It caused an average 5% drop in students' scores.
C.It made it harder for students to keep things in mind.
D.It had a bad effect on students' performance in all tests.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This finding shows for the first time...with fewer things of a study task later remembered.”可知,手机在课堂上分散注意力,会让学生更难记住东西。
√
30.What's Professor Arnold Glass' attitude towards using smartphones in class
A.He was against it.
B.He was in favor of it.
C.He cared little about it.
D.He doubted the findings.
解析:观点态度题。根据第四段中格拉斯教授说的话可知,他认为在课堂上使用手机是有害的,他对此持反对态度。
√
31.What is the research team likely to do next
A.To find out ways to improve students' memory.
B.To call on schools to ban smartphones completely.
C.To study the influence of using smartphones after class.
D.To do researches on focusing attention in actual classrooms.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, more research is required to see how students are affected by using smartphones after school.”可推知,研究团队下一步可能会研究学生们放学后使用智能手机的影响。

Friends are gifts and treasures. When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you're wrong—even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept
that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。朋友关系越好就越容易产生分歧, 这些分歧会导致朋友关系破裂。文章就修补友谊给了几点建议。
32.How can we make a friendship last long
A.Have much in common.
B.Know our friends' mistakes.
C.Treat our disagreements wisely.
D.Know one another for long.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately, the better friends you are...an end to the relationship.”可知,分歧可能会导致朋友关系破裂。由此可推知, 要想保持长久的友谊, 明智地处理分歧是关键。

33.Which of the following can replace the “wronged person” underlined in the passage
A.A person who has been mistaken for another.
B.A person who has been blamed unfairly.
C.A person who has treated friends badly.
D.A person who has admitted his mistakes.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下一句“When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong.”可推知,此处“wronged person”指的是被错怪受委屈的人。
√
34.What should we do if we follow the author's second suggestion
A.Stick to our own points of view.
B.Avoid making mistakes.
C.Make an apology first.
D.Change our lifestyles.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Second, apologize when you're wrong—even if you've been wronged.”可知, 作者的第二点建议是朋友之间不管哪方有错, 你都要先道歉。
√
35.What would be the best title for the passage
A.Easy Ways to Make Friends
B.Ups and Downs in Friendship
C.How to Mend a Troubled Friendship
D.How to Take the Lead in Making Friends
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文可知,第一段讲述朋友的重要性;第二段介绍分歧会导致朋友关系破裂;第三段点出本文修补陷入困境的友谊的主题并提出具体的修补友谊的方法。故C项最适合作文章标题。

阅读下面的材料,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。
Dad and Madison were walking through the party store, gathering decorations for Madison's upcoming birthday party.
“But I don't want to invite Lucy Gilbert! I don't like her!”
“Madison, you are being unreasonable. If every girl in your class is invited to party but you, you'll feel left out. It would be a big mistake not to invite Lucy to the party.”
“She never even talks to me!”
Dad sighed and moved down the aisle (过道). “Lucy is a new girl in class. She just moved here a little over a month ago. Think about how that must feel. She doesn't know one single person in the school. She left all of her old friends behind to get to know everyone.”
“No, it won't. She will probably sit in the corner and not talk to anyone. Every day at lunch she sits all by herself. She wants to eat alone!” Madison shrugged and rolled her eyes.
“Madison, I'm done discussing this. You will invite every girl in your class, including Lucy Gilbert!”
On Saturday morning, the family blew up balloons and decorated the house cheerfully. Madison was dressed beautifully for the day, wearing her new blue dress. It was not typical of her to dress herself like this. She usually wore sports clothes because she loved to be outside riding her horse Star with a lead rope (缰绳).
Madison greeted her friends at the doorstep, picturing various presents her friends would bring her. In the meanwhile, she was wondering whether Lucy would ruin the party if she came. Anyhow, all the girls she invited came finally, including Lucy.
The girls had a fantastic time by singing and dancing while Lucy sat in the corner silently alone. Later, all the girls gathered around the table as Madison opened her presents. Opening them one by one, Madison thanked her friends, with a bright smile on her face.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Lucy's present was the very last to be opened.

Deeply moved by what she said, Madison held the lead rope tightly in her hands. _________________________________________________

One possible version:
Lucy's present was the very last to be opened. Worrying that it would ruin the party, Madison grabbed the present reluctantly and ripped open the gift-wrapping paper. Inside was a delicate hand-made lead rope! Shocked, she widened her eyes, covering her hands over her mouth. “It's a lead rope for your horse Star. I made it by myself!” Lucy said. Madison pulled it out of the box and placed it on her lap, amazed at its beauty. Lucy added, “I heard you talking about your horse at school. That's when I got the idea to make you a lead rope.”
Deeply moved by what she said, Madison held the lead rope tightly in her hands. It was, by far, her very favourite birthday present of the day. She suddenly felt so bad because she had been so mean to Lucy. With tears swirling in her eyes, she blinked hard to fight them back, feeling a mixture of regret and gratitude. “Thanks so much for this lead rope. I love it! Would you like to join us and be our friends?” Lucy nodded cheerfully. Madison put her arm around Lucy's shoulders, both smiling. With applause and laughter echoing through the house, Lucy joined the other girls to enjoy the party.
