Kendrick Lamar, who was born on June 17, 1987 in Compton, California, has won the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Music. He is the first winner who is not a classical or jazz musician. Columbia University awards the music prizes each year, which are a great honor. Lamar also got $15，000.
Farah Griffin, a teacher at the school, was in the group that picked Lamar’s album(专辑) for the Pulitzer Prize.“It’s big for hip hop(嘻哈音乐). I think it’s also big for our country and for music，” she said.“But it’s big for the Pulitzer Prize, too.”
Lamar’s album is called “DAMN”， which includes words that adults may not want kids to hear. He uses rhymes to tell stories about black life. His songs are about race, social justice(正义) and problems with police. But they are also about love and hope.
Music experts love the album. Music buyers do, too. That is something new as past Pulitzer Prize winners have been loved by experts, but they have not always sold a lot of albums.
Griffin said she thought some people “wouldn’t like the idea” of giving the prize to a rapper. She thought some might be angry. But she was surprised. “I haven’t heard a lot of that，” she said.
Regina Carter was also in the group that picked the album.“If a work is great enough, you can’t deny it，” she said.
The first Pulitzer Prizes were given in 1917, and music started to be honored in 1943. Awards used to go only to writers of classical music because it is more formal and it came from Europe. The Pulitzer Prizes have not always honored African?American musicians. Some wanted to give a special prize in 1965 to Duke Ellington, who was a great jazz artist, but he did not get a Pulitzer. A prize did not go to a jazz work until 1997. There is now more popular music among the prizes. Lin?Manuel Miranda wrote the hip hop musical “Hamilton” and he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama(戏剧) in 2016.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了在2018年获得普利策音乐奖的说唱歌手——肯德里克·拉马尔。
4．What can we learn about Lamar from the text?
A．He put out his first album in 2018.
B．He learned hip hop from Farah Griffin.
C．He is a graduate of Columbia University.
D．He has made history by winning a Pulitzer Prize.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的He is the first winner who is not a classical or jazz musician.可知，肯德里克·拉马尔是第一个荣获普利策音乐奖的说唱歌手，所以他创造了历史。
5．What is special about Lamar’s album “DAMN”？
A．It is a bad seller.
B．It is given a great honor.
C．It is unaccepted by adults.
D．It aims to tell his own stories.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，肯德里克·拉马尔的专辑“DAMN”不仅获得了专家的认可，而且在市场上非常畅销，由此可知，人们非常认可他的专辑。
6．What made Griffin surprised?
A．Other music experts’ opposition.
B．Some people being angry with rappers.
C．People’s attitude toward Lamar’s winning.
D．Regina Carter not wanting to pick “DAMN”．
C 解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的内容可知，Griffin以为让一位说唱歌手获得普利策音乐奖会使有些人生气，但是事实并非如此，大家对他获奖一事持支持态度，这让Griffin很惊讶。
7．Why did the author mention Lin?Manuel Miranda?
A．To speak highly of hip hop musicians.
B．To introduce a world?famous popular star.
C．To show the Pulitzer Prize has changed over time.
D．To present the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Awards used to go only to writers of classical music及There is now more popular music among the prizes...won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama(戏剧) in 2016.可知，以前的普利策音乐奖都是颁给古典乐的，而随着时代的进步，越来越多的流行音乐也获此殊荣，作者提到创作嘻哈音乐的Lin?Manuel Miranda获得普利策戏剧奖是为了说明普利策奖在随着时代的进步而变化。

Early childhood is the best possible time to learn a second language. Children who experience two languages from birth typically become native speakers of both. But the question remains: Is it confusing for babies to learn two languages at the same time?
My partners and I recently studied the brain processing of language sounds in 11?month?old babies from monolingual (English only) and bilingual (Spanish?English) homes. We found some key differences between babies raised in monolingual versus bilingual homes. At 11 months of age, just before most babies begin to say their first words, the brain recordings showed that: Babies from monolingual English households are specialized to process(处理) the sounds of English, and not the sounds of Spanish, an unfamiliar language. Babies from bilingual Spanish?English households are specialized to process the sounds of both languages, Spanish and English.
Our findings show that babies’ brains become sensitive to whatever language or languages they hear from their caregivers. A monolingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of one language, and a bilingual brain becomes sensitive to the sounds of two languages. By 11 months of age, the activity in the baby brain reflects the language or languages that they have been exposed to.
It is now understood that the constant need to shift(转移) attention between languages leads to several cognitive(认知的) advantages. Research has found that bilingual adults and children show an improved executive functioning of the brain—that is, they are able to shift attention, switch between tasks and solve problems more easily. There is evidence that being bilingual makes the learning of a third language easier. Further, the effects of two?language experience are thought to translate into protective effects against cognitive decline with aging and the attack of Alzheimer’s disease.
So, if you want your child to know more than one language, it’s best to start at an early age, before they even start speaking their first language. It won’t confuse your child, and it could even help him/her improve other forms of cognition.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。儿童时期是语言学习的最佳时期，但是同时学习两种语言会产生混淆吗？
8．What does the study on the 11?month?old babies mainly show us?
A．Babies can learn languages as early as eleven months old.
B．Babies are able to react to the sounds of different languages.
C．Babies refuse to process an unfamiliar language.
D．Babies are gifted in language learning.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的Babies from monolingual English households...an unfamiliar language.及Babies from bilingual Spanish?English households...Spanish and English.可知，研究表明，孩子能够处理他们平时经常接触到的不同语言，而对不常接触到的语言则不能够做出反应。
9．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．Bilingual children may have better learning ability than bilingual adults.
B．Learning a new language can help cure cognitive decline.
C．Bilingual children can focus on one task for long.
D．Being bilingual can improve the cognitive ability.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的Further, the effects of two?language...and the attack of Alzheimer’s disease.可知，双语学习能够提高我们大脑的认知能力。
10．In the last paragraph, the author aims to ________．
A．give parents some advice on childcare
B．show us how to begin to learn languages
C．tell us how to improve our cognitive ability
D．give parents tips on children’s language learning
D 解析：推理判断题。本段主要为父母提出孩子语言学习的建议：如果要让孩子多学习几门语言，最好是早点开始。
11．What can best describe the structure of the passage?
A．①－②③－④－⑤
B．①－②－③－④⑤
C．①－②③④－⑤
D．①②－③④－⑤
A 解析：文章结构题。第一段主要呈现了作者所要论述的话题，第二、三段主要讲述了作者进行的研究及其结果，第四段主要讲述了双语学习的益处，最后一段作者针对语言学习提出了自己的建议。

My name is Kate and I am from Germany. When I arrived in Ghana this March, I felt at once very welcomed and the nice tropical climate made me feel good. Ghana is a beautiful country where everything is colorful and the nature is amazing. But the best part is the friendly people. 1.________ You never feel uncomfortable or lost.
The work I was doing for VPWA(Volunteer Partnerships for West Africa) was mainly writing a proposal to raise funds for the Women’s Shelter Project. At the beginning I wished to work a bit more directly with local people to get to know the Ghanaian culture even more. 2.________ This is because even if you don’t work directly with locals, you can get many other chances to make some Ghanaian friends if you are open?minded and outgoing.
3．________ Having dinner with them every evening, going out for a drink and watching movies outside the apartment were our daily pleasant routines after work.
One of the favorite parts of my trip to Ghana was the travelling. I traveled almost every weekend. This was possible because there were many volunteers when I arrived, so it was easy to find someone who also wanted to travel to the same places together with me. It is also easy to travel in Ghana alone. And you really should travel. 4.________
My stay with VPWA was really an unforgettable experience. 5.________ And among many other things I will miss is the music played everywhere. Besides, I will never forget the food, especially Red Red (a bean dish) with fried plantains(大蕉)．

Ecuador is beautiful in its landscapes, people and culture.The diversity of life in the hills at the equator is something you must experience to appreciate.The perfect weather was a nice bonus, and most days settle at a comfortable but not too hot temperature.The cities are worth seeing, but sometimes not quite safe for tourists lacking proper precautions(预防措施)．I was luckily never robbed, but it was prevalent among people I ran into. So protect your valuables!
From the city, La Hesperia is about a three?hour bus ride across the amazing Andean countryside and a one?hour hike up from the road.It is far from civilization, but the reception is still not too bad.The reserve is altogether a protected area, a mostly self?sustaining farm, a local school, and a great learning experience for international conservationists like you or me.The volunteer house was very comfortable and open, with views of pure nature that I still miss.After a hard working day and a cold shower, I would always be overwhelmed by the sounds of the forest at night.
During the day, my tasks over the course of a month ranged from tree planting to trail maintenance(维护) and basic farm work including planting/harvesting crops, weeding, and working with animals.Regardless of the job, a machete(大刀) was the only tool I needed！At one point, I had to take the daily milk down the mountain with the most stubborn donkey ever.
Of course, there’s plenty of time for fun and meeting people.The reserve itself is full of things to do.Still, weekends are better spent exploring more of the country, which, to me, is quite different from my homeland.You can get recommendations from other volunteers and locals.All are great experiences I still tell stories about.

Samantha “Sammi” Janower
Samantha “Sammi” Janower, now 18 years old, was told 15 years ago that she had cancer. Chemotherapy(化疗) is the only option, so Sammi underwent(经历) 15 months of chemo at the age of three. Today, her dad says the cancer survivor is determined to help other kids avoid having to go through what she has gone through. To that end, in 2017 her team of cyclists, Team Samantha, raised more than $327，000 for the hospital that saved her life by riding 192 miles in the Pan?Mass Challenge (PMC), a bike?a?thon across their home state of Massachusetts. One hundred percent of every dollar raised goes directly to the doctors and research that work on cancers like hers.
Annika Viswesh
Eighth?grade student Annika Viswesh, who attends the Stratford School in Sunnyvale, California, became legally blind when she was just one year old due to a condition known as amblyopia(弱视). Various methods have helped to improve her sight over the years, but more than anything it was that very experience that pushed her to search for better ways to treat and manage the condition, which affects about 12 million children worldwide. So, she created the Oculus Patch Assistant which helps to simplify and improve the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment. She is now working with doctors at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation to conduct field testing.
Jahkil Jackson
Jahkil Jackson, 9, of Chicago, founded Project I Am to help the homeless in his hometown. Within the last year, he’s collected and handed out more than 3，000 “Blessings(祝福) Bags” filled with toiletry things, socks, and food. A frequent public speaker, Jahkil challenges children to find their enthusiasm and use it to make a difference. “When I speak to other kids at schools and community centers, I always say, ‘Don’t wait until you are an adult to be great，’” Jahkil said. “‘You can be great now！’”

For Serena Au?ón?Chancellor, joining the Young Astronauts Club was more than an after?school hobby; it was the very beginning of her journey to space! When Serena was growing up in the 1980s, National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) launched(发射) space shuttles many times a year. One day as she watched a shuttle launch on TV, Serena’s father said, “You want to work for NASA? You need to be an engineer.” Serena’s father was an engineer himself. And he was right: half of all astronauts have studied engineering. From then on, Serena planned to be an engineer.
When she turned sixteen, Serena’s parents gave her a gift—a weeklong trip to Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. Her experiences at Space Camp—using science, math, and technology to practice tasks—showed Serena that her childhood dream was possible. In college, Serena earned a degree in electrical engineering. Afterward, she attended medical school and studied aerospace(航空航天) medicine.
In 2006, Serena was employed as a doctor at NASA, helping astronauts in the United States and Russia. She loved helping people through medicine, but she still wanted to be an astronaut, too. The__odds__were__against__her. Every year thousands of people apply to the astronaut training program and only ten to fifteen people are chosen. In 2009, Serena got the phone call she’d been hoping for since she was a kid: She was chosen to be an astronaut!
Since becoming an astronaut, Serena has learnt wilderness survival skills, searched for meteors(陨石) in Antarctica, and sailed in a submarine(潜水艇) in the deep ocean. But her greatest adventure has not been any of those. She has been in space since June 6, 2018, serving as a flight engineer in Expedition 56/57 to the International Space Station. Her dream of heading into space has come true! While in space, she has been conducting science experiments. Think of her the next time you look up at the stars!

Once a father and son went to a kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. 1.________ So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held and bought a kite for his son.
2．________Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is stopping the kite from flying higher. If we break it, it will be free and will go even higher. Can we break it？” So, the father cut the thread. 3.________ That made the son very happy.
But then, slowly, the kite started to come down.And, soon it fell down on the top of a building. 4.________ The kite had been cut loose of its thread so it could fly higher, but instead, it fell down.

Johns Hopkins University just announced that the school will name a new research building after Henrietta Lacks, whose cancer cells changed medical research.
“Through her life and her cancer cells, Henrietta Lacks had an immeasurable effect on science and medicine that has touched countless lives around the world，” Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels said during the university’s 9th Henrietta Lacks Memorial Lecture in 2018.
The building will be located just north of the Johns Hopkins Hospital and will support programs that improve participation and partnership with members of the community in research that can benefit the community.
Lacks was a black woman who was born on a farm in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1920. In 1951, at 31 years old, the mother of five visited Baltimore’s Johns Hopkins Hospital complaining of stomach pain that later turned out to be cervical(子宫颈的) cancer. Her cancer cells were later used without her permission to create the first immortal(永生的) cell line, known as the HeLa cell line.
The HeLa cells were used to develop the first polio vaccine(小儿麻痹症疫苗) in 1952, and helped the study of human papillomavirus(HPV), which causes the cervical cancer that eventually killed Lacks.
Lacks and her story were relatively unknown until 2010 when reporter Rebecca Skloot published The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. In 2017, The New York Times best?selling book was made into a film titled The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne.
Lacks’ granddaughter, Jeri Lacks, and other family members attended the university’s announcement. “It is a proud day for the Lacks family. We have been working with Hopkins for many years now on events and projects that honor our grandmother，” Jeri Lacks said. “They are all meaningful, but this is the greatest honor.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。Johns Hopkins University计划用Henrietta Lacks的名字来命名他们即将建造的一座大楼，以纪念她对现代医学发展带来的深远影响。
1．Why will Johns Hopkins University name a building after Henrietta Lacks?
A．She did very important research.
B．She saved countless lives in person.
C．She once helped the university a lot.
D．She had a great influence on modern medicine.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段Johns Hopkins University just announced that...whose cancer cells changed medical research.以及第二段中的Through her life and her cancer cells...medicine that has touched countless lives around the world可知，Johns Hopkins University计划用Henrietta Lacks的名字来命名他们将要建造的一座大楼，以纪念她对现代医学发展所带来的影响。
2．What did researchers decide to do with Henrietta Lacks’ cancer cells?
A．Help her get better.
B．Earn money for her.
C．Put them to good use.
D．Completely destroy them.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的Her cancer cells were later used without her permission to create the first immortal(永生的) cell line, known as the HeLa cell line.及第五段的内容可知，研究者决定将这些细胞用于更多的医学研究，以发挥更好的作用。
3．What greatly helped the spread of Lacks’ story at first?
A．A film starring Oprah Winfrey.
B．The invention of the HeLa cells.
C．Sales of a book based on her story.
D．The announcement by the university.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Lacks and her story were relatively unknown until 2010 when reporter Rebecca Skloot published The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.可知，Rebecca Skloot出版的有关Henrietta Lacks的书让她的故事被大众所熟知。
4．What was the reaction of Lacks’ family members toward the announcement?
A．They expected it.
B．They seemed uninterested.
C．They were a bit embarrassed.
D．They were quite excited about it.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的It is a proud day for the Lacks family.以及They are all meaningful, but this is the greatest honor.可推断，Lacks的家人对学校将一所新建筑命名为Henrietta Lacks的消息感到很兴奋。

Nigerian footballer Asisat Oshoala has become the first player to win the BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year, the new award from the BBC World Service, which is voted for by football fans around the world.
Oshoala said the award had left her feeling happy and appreciated. She said, “I would like to say thank you to the BBC, to my fans around the world and to everyone who voted. It’s a very good thing for me and also motivation for the World Cup. I had a very good 2014 and had the opportunity of going to the Under?20 Women’s World Cup with Nigeria and also won the Golden Ball and Golden Boot so I think maybe that added to the reason why people voted for me.”
Oshoala signed for Liverpool Ladies in January 2015, with Manager Matt Beard calling her “one of the world’s top young footballers”．
Mary Hockaday, Controller of BBC World Service English, said, “Huge congratulations to Asisat Oshoala on winning the first BBC Women’s Footballer of the Year award. At still only 20, she’s proved herself a formidable athlete on the football field. I’m proud the BBC World Service is supporting the women’s game and thrilled with the interest in the award. I look forward to seeing which players come through in next year’s shortlist(最后候选人名单)．”
The youngest footballer to be shortlisted, Oshoala played at the Under?20 World Cup in Canada in 2014 where she was the tournament’s leading scorer and voted best player.
Her performances led Nigeria to the final, where they were narrowly beaten by Germany. Oshoala was also a major influence in the senior Nigeria team, who won the African Women’s Championship later in 2014, guaranteeing their qualification(资格) for that summer’s World Cup.

Christmas is a lovely time of year if you are lucky enough to be well, to have friends and family around you and to feel in control of your life. However, for many people it is a time that they are afraid of. As the nights draw in during the winter, many older people talk about how much more difficult it is to be on their own.
In a recent interview, Jacqueline Wilson expressed her concerns about children also feeling worried. But I was heartened by her suggestion in another interview that she hopes her books will reassure(使……消除疑惑) children going through a difficult time and make them feel as if they’re not alone.
If reading can, as Jacqueline suggests, provide reassurance and a sense of connection, it has never been more important. Reading could transform one in four adults who experience mental health issues in their lifetime, the 850，000 people in the UK living with dementia(痴呆症) and the one in ten older people who feel lonely.
We always know that a book could be a great Christmas present, but can it also change our lives? Our research at The Reading Agency suggests that it can. We have found evidence to show that reading can benefit our well?being and help us make social connections.
People who read regularly are more satisfied with life and more likely to feel that the things they do are worthwhile; reading for pleasure can also increase sympathy, improve relationships, reduce symptoms of depression and improve well?being.
We are developing a new programme, Reading Friends, which will use reading to connect weak older people. In researching the programme, we found that reading with others can help older people build social networks.
Read a book with your children, parents or grandparents over Christmas, make a new year’s resolution to start a reading group with friends, and introduce reading to your community. You could be giving them the gift they most want this year.

The ways we travel, the regions we decide to visit, and the choices we make on how we spend our money can have a positive impact on communities and families that are not as fortunate as ourselves. Here are five ways to help you become a responsible traveller.
Devote some of your time. If you have a skill that may be useful in a developing nation, there are a lot of ways to help put your expertise(专长) to good use. 36.________ For example, you can spend a few days teaching English in rural schools.
Shop locally. By having dinner at a small restaurant, or buying a trinket(小装饰物) from a street shop, you are helping to inject money directly into the local economy. 37.________
Think before you act with wildlife activities. When making plans for an overseas vacation, a lot of people have dreams of riding elephants, swimming with dolphins or having their photos taken with tigers. 38.________ For one hour of entertainment, you could potentially be putting an animal through a lifetime of pain.
Respect the local culture. Many countries are more conservative(保守的) with their dress sense. 39.________ Taking the time to learn a little bit of the local language is also necessary.
40．________ Say no to plastic bags from shops and instead put your items in a backpack or a cloth bag. Carry a reusable water bottle with you and fill it up from large water jugs that can be found in most hotels and restaurants.
A．Reduce your waste.
B．Always be a happy traveller.
C．Don’t bargain hard with people over a few dollars.

One possible version：
On Lei Feng Day, our class organized a voluntary activity.
At nine that morning, we gathered at the city center and then we were divided into two groups. One group picked up rubbish and removed the advertisements posted on the walls. The other were responsible for placing the shared bikes that were parked randomly in the right places. After that, we visited some old people who lived alone nearby and helped them wash clothes and cook food.
Seeing the tidy streets and the happy smiles on the old people’s faces, we felt so proud. I think such an activity is really meaningful.
