第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Sally Tam is interviewing Amy Baines, a working mom who uses the Internet at work to watch her three-year-old son while he is at his day care.
Sally: How do you get to see Harry during the day?
Amy: The day care center has a video camera that is connected to a special website. When I want to see him, I can call up the website on my computer and see the center on my screen.
Sally: How does that make you feel?
Amy: Wonderful. For example, when I dropped Harry off at the center yesterday, he started to cry. I felt bad, but I needed to get to work. Then at work, I was so worried. I kept thinking about Harry. So I went to the website. I could see Harry playing a game, as happy as could be. It made me feel better. What a relief. I could go on with my work.
Sally: Do the day care workers like it?
Amy: At first, they felt self-conscious (难为情的). But now, they don’t seem to notice. The activity in the day care center goes on as usual.
Sally: Is this a good system for the day care center to have?
Amy: I think so. It抯 good because I can find out whether the center is doing good work with Harry. I can see whether he is happy and getting enough attention from the teachers.
Sally: Are there any other benefits to this system?
Amy: Yes. My parents, who live 2,000 miles away, can see their first grandchild learning to do all of those activities: reading and writing for the first time. One time, Harry wrote, 揌i. Grandpa. and held it up to the screen. My father was so happy. With the Internet, it抯 as though we抮e living in the same house.

B
Children from four Buckinghamshire primary schools visited Epilepsy Society to plant a hedge (树篱) as part of a Plant-for-the-Planet project. The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter. Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment, and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees.
The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers (防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in their roots. Bob said, “The day really was ‘Thinking Globally, Acting Locally’ put into action. The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice (正义) for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge, which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House, is made up of trees such as oaks, silver birches and so on.
Bob added, 揟he children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time. The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.
Emma Darlington, Epilepsy Society抯 volunteer officer, said, 揑 think it抯 so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference, whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness (意识). We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society too — the trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”
24. What is the purpose of the Plant-for-the-Planet project?
A. To help children learn more about society.
B. To offer children colourful after-school activities.
C. To raise children抯 awareness of global warming.
D. To teach children how to protect natural wildlife.
25. What does the underlined word 搒hield in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Separate.
B. Take.
C. Get.
D. Protect.
26. How did Bob Sherren feel after organising this activity?
A. Tired.
B. Proud.
C. Discouraged.
D. Peaceful.
27. What can we learn from Emma Darlington抯 words in the last paragraph?
A. She hopes to popularise volunteering work.
B. She tries to drive the children to study hard.
C. She expects the children to take positive action.
D. She believes the younger generation are promising.
C
She leads a short life, but a very rich one. She wears many beautiful and expensive dresses and wonderful furs, and she is seen in the best stores. She has people to dress her and keep her face pretty. Still, even though she has thousands of admirers, she rarely smiles. Although she is beautiful, she rarely meets men of her own kind. She is, as you might have guessed, the mannequin (人体模特) who looks dreamy from the windows of stores.
Some of the people who design window displays think of mannequins only as objects to work with, but most of the people who make use of the figures call them by name. Although a mannequin has a number given to it by the producer, it is very often known by the name of the woman who modeled for it.
What the stores look for these days are interesting, rather than perfect faces. Like Sara Kapp抯, for example. She is a professional model whose lookalike, produced by the Adel Rootstein company, is now popular. Sara抯 long nose and her green eyes make her face unusual rather than beautiful.
As fashions change, not only are there changes in faces, but changes in poses (姿势) too. The figures have become more realistic. Until a few years ago, mannequins were made without toes (脚趾). But now that open shoes have become popular, toes are necessary. 揥hen trousers were very popular, mannequins stood differently, says Candy Pratts, who directs window designers at Bloomingdale抯, a large New York store. 揘ow they stand in a more relaxed way that is better for dresses.
Even though a mannequin gets excellent care, her life in a good store is not likely to be more than two years. Bloomingdale抯 has 160 mannequins in use, and Candy Pratts says her department buys some new ones every two months. And that, she adds, is why it抯 best not to get used to any particular mannequin. When I get a favorite, I hate to see her go.
28. How do most window display designers refer to a mannequin?
A. By its sex.
B. By its number.
C. By the name of its designer.
D. By the name of the model it was based on.
29. What kind of mannequins do stores look for nowadays?
A. Fashionable.
B. Economic.
C. Beautiful.
D. Special.
30. What抯 the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Mannequins stand in various poses.
B. Mannequins follow the change in fashion.
C. Mannequins are made to look like real persons.
D. Mannequins are designed to be useful rather than attractive.
31. What does Candy Pratts suggest by 揥hen I get a favorite, I hate to see her go?
A. Take mannequins seriously.
B. Never focus on one mannequin.
C. Don抰 buy too many mannequins.
D. Grow a deep relationship with mannequins.
D
The 1993 movie Jurassic Park wasn抰 the first film to show dinosaurs in the modern world. But it did a good job of bringing the idea of cloning dinosaurs into popular culture. It represented dinosaur cloning in a way that made sense to a lot of people, and it was a successful film, making more than $900 million worldwide.
Jurassic Park built on the idea of getting DNA from mosquitoes kept in amber. While this might seem possible at first sight, it抯 highly unlikely that scientists could find usable dinosaur DNA in mosquito fossils. Scientists would need a very specific sample (样品) — a female mosquito that had taken lots of dinosaur blood immediately before being trapped in amber. Since fossilization in amber is a relatively rare event, the chances of this happening are pretty small.
The lack of possible samples isn’t the only problem. Most insect fossils found in amber are also too young to contain dinosaur blood dinosaurs were gone by the time the insects became trapped. Many insects went bad from the inside out after they were trapped, leaving nothing inside for scientists to try to find. Finally, the sample would have to be very dry, since DNA can break down quickly in the presence of water.
But if researchers did find a perfectly kept mosquito with a body full of dinosaur blood, bringing back its DNA would still be difficult. The blood with the dinosaur DNA would be surrounded by the body of an insect, which has its own DNA. There could also be DNA from other cells (细胞) trapped in the amber. Then, of course, there’s the DNA in the laboratory itself — and in the body of the scientist.
32. Why is the film Jurassic Park mentioned at the beginning?
A. To lead into the topic of cloning dinosaurs.
B. To encourage scientists to clone dinosaurs.
C. To give a simple introduction to dinosaurs.
D. To stress the possibility of cloning dinosaurs.
33. The key to cloning dinosaurs is to gain _____.
A. insect fossils
B. dinosaur DNA
C. dinosaur blood
D. mosquitoes in amber
34. What is the author抯 opinion on cloning dinosaurs?
A. It is a step away from success.
B. It will be a fruitless attempt.
C. It requires further research.
D. It lacks creative work.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why was Jurassic Park successful?
B. Reasons for dinosaurs’ dying out
C. Can scientists clone dinosaurs?
D. Ways of cloning dinosaurs
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar. 36 If they didn’t do their chores (家务), they didn’t get their allowance (零花钱). And if they didn’t have money, they couldn抰 buy anything. It抯 kind of like real life.
There was only one problem me. 37 And then, when they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn抰 quite afford, I would sometimes let them borrow from the next week抯 allowance. But then I抎 forget how much they抎 borrowed and we抎 end up arguing about just how much I owed (欠) them. 38
Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help. 39 Gregg Murset, a financial planner who has six kids of his own, created MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed.
40 My 22-year-old daughter recently explained how her emergency fund (应急基金), built up by saving financial gifts and working during school, allowed her to live independently while continuing her education.
So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from their parents. Save, spend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message.
A. In short, I was an unsuccessful banker.
B. It is helpful in teaching my kids about money.
C. I抎 forget to check whether they抎 completed their chores.
D. So I set up the reward system and record their required chores.
E. The kids can sign in and record when they抳e completed their work.
F. So I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young.
G. Now some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem.

A few years ago, I was working in a small office. I noticed that even though the organisation was not 41 , we often worked in separate teams, and while everyone was friendly, we were not very close to each other and not very 42 .
One particular week, I decided to make people 43 , but I wanted to do it secretly, perhaps with the slight 44 that it抎 invite a sense of trust or playfulness in the work culture. So one evening, I wrote a few 45 with quotes which I felt have 46 me over the years.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but seeing with new eyes.

A
I thought we all knew why independent school students do better than those in the state sector (区). They have more money, more funding and better resources and they don’t have the more challenging students we get in the state sector.
That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college, aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the country抯 top private schools, like Eton and St Paul抯, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the knowledge-rich learning that characterises independent schools into the state sector.
Before the project, I hadn抰 had much contact (接触) with people who had been educated there. But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent sector, they have challenges too — just different ones.
After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings.
One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits outside the classroom. I realised that although I was always telling students that they needed to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didn抰 have a clear idea of what this could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading articles, doing activities and completing examination questions.
I started to put much more emphasis (重点) on activities outside the classroom, like researching topics beyond the syllabus (教学大纲) or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging up the fact they hadn抰 understood something.
My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the research they want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire (调查问卷) on independent learning. One wrote: “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other students. It helps you to think for yourself.”
1. What did the author say about independent school students before her research?
A. They were troublemakers.
B. They enjoyed excellent learning conditions.
C. They performed worse than state school students.
D. They faced the same challenges as state school students.
2. Why did the author join the project?
A. To introduce good learning methods to state schools.
B. To exchange teaching ideas with other teachers.
C. To partner with other schools in education.
D. To find enough funds for state schools.
3. What changes did the author make in her classes?
A. She focused on group learning.
B. She worked out a different syllabus.
C. She encouraged independent learning.
D. She carried out various activities in class.
4. How is the author抯 research going?
A. It has made a big difference.
B. It has failed to make progress.
C. It is questioned by her students.
D. It involves many more students.
B
Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of her life, now with a new teacher who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work, Rafael Campo. Rafael is a doctor, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing really in a very great way is about poetry. And if we do anything when we’re with our patients, we’re really immersing (使……沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that’s what a poem does,” he said.
Campo worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap (鸿沟).
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there抯 just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest. Not everyone believes that抯 what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, 揑 was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it抯 happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn抰 survived the cancer. Don抰 we still have a role as healers there?
In a poem titled 揌ealth, Campo writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.
5. What do we know about Rafael Campo?
A. He works as a doctor.
B. He is under medical care.
C. He is a literature professor.
D. He knows little about poetry.
6. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?
A. The importance of medical training.
B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.
C. The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.
7. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?
A. It comforts patients family.
B. It contributes to medical work.
C. It has nothing to do with doctors.
D. It keeps doctors away from patients.
8. What is Rafael Campo抯 view on poetry?
A. It requires a lot of spare time.
B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.
C. It has little effect on patients’ conditions.
D. It should be included in emergency treatments.

One possible version:
Dear schoolmates,
Could I have your attention, please?
Nowadays fewer students take exercise due to various reasons and some students fall ill every now and then because they are not healthy or strong enough. Therefore, we should take exercise regularly to improve our health.
First of all, take PE classes seriously. In PE classes we can build up our bodies under the careful guidance of PE teachers. Secondly, it is important to take exercise regularly after class or during breaks. In addition, it is also a good idea to join a sports club which you are interested in.
As the old saying goes, 揟he first wealth is health. Let抯 take exercise regularly for better health and a better future.
Thanks.

A
Sally Tam is interviewing Amy Baines, a working mom who uses the Internet at work to watch her three-year-old son while he is at his day care.
Sally: How do you get to see Harry during the day?
Amy: The day care center has a video camera that is connected to a special website. When I want to see him, I can call up the website on my computer and see the center on my screen.
Sally: How does that make you feel?
Amy: Wonderful. For example, when I dropped Harry off at the center yesterday, he started to cry. I felt bad, but I needed to get to work. Then at work, I was so worried. I kept thinking about Harry. So I went to the website. I could see Harry playing a game, as happy as could be. It made me feel better. What a relief. I could go on with my work.

Amy: I think so. It抯 good because I can find out whether the center is doing good work with Harry. I can see whether he is happy and getting enough attention from the teachers.
Sally: Are there any other benefits to this system?
Amy: Yes. My parents, who live 2,000 miles away, can see their first grandchild learning to do all of those activities: reading and writing for the first time. One time, Harry wrote, 揌i.

Children from four Buckinghamshire primary schools visited Epilepsy Society to plant a hedge (树篱) as part of a Plant-for-the-Planet project. The children from these schools were planting a hedge in the garden of the Queen Elizabeth House at the charity in Chalfont St Peter. Plant-for-the-Planet gives children across the globe the opportunity to learn about the threats of global warming to the environment, and then put their new knowledge into practice as they plant new trees.
The day was organised by Bob Sherren who showed the children how to plant the planet-friendly line of trees in protective chambers (防护室) to shield them from hungry wildlife as they settle in their roots. Bob said, “The day really was ‘Thinking Globally, Acting Locally’ put into action. The children learned about the importance of planting trees as a way of helping to bring about climate justice (正义) for many living in poorer nations and of course enjoyed planting the trees too.” The eventual hedge, which will grow to full size over ten years behind the Queen Elizabeth House, is made up of trees such as oaks, silver birches and so on.
Bob added, 揟he children were also able to help people living at Epilepsy Society because they will gain some well-needed privacy from the hedge in time. The natural wildlife benefits too from the fruits and nuts that a hedge made from native species can provide as well as the possibility for any number of nesting sites.
Emma Darlington, Epilepsy Society抯 volunteer officer, said, 揑 think it抯 so important to encourage the younger generation that the future is in their hands and that they can make a difference, whether it is through taking part in projects like this or spreading awareness (意识). We hope they learn a little bit about the work we do at Epilepsy Society too — the trees they planted will be enjoyed by everyone here for years to come.”
24. What is the purpose of the Plant-for-the-Planet project?
A. To help children learn more about society.
B. To offer children colourful after-school activities.
C. To raise children抯 awareness of global warming.
D. To teach children how to protect natural wildlife.
25. What does the underlined word 搒hield in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Separate.
B. Take.
C. Get.
D. Protect.
26. How did Bob Sherren feel after organising this activity?
A. Tired.
B. Proud.
C. Discouraged.
D. Peaceful.
27. What can we learn from Emma Darlington抯 words in the last paragraph?
A. She hopes to popularise volunteering work.
B. She tries to drive the children to study hard.
C. She expects the children to take positive action.
D. She believes the younger generation are promising.
C
She leads a short life, but a very rich one. She wears many beautiful and expensive dresses and wonderful furs, and she is seen in the best stores. She has people to dress her and keep her face pretty. Still, even though she has thousands of admirers, she rarely smiles. Although she is beautiful, she rarely meets men of her own kind. She is, as you might have guessed, the mannequin (人体模特) who looks dreamy from the windows of stores.
Some of the people who design window displays think of mannequins only as objects to work with, but most of the people who make use of the figures call them by name. Although a mannequin has a number given to it by the producer, it is very often known by the name of the woman who modeled for it.
What the stores look for these days are interesting, rather than perfect faces. Like Sara Kapp抯, for example. She is a professional model whose lookalike, produced by the Adel Rootstein company, is now popular. Sara抯 long nose and her green eyes make her face unusual rather than beautiful.
As fashions change, not only are there changes in faces, but changes in poses (姿势) too. The figures have become more realistic. Until a few years ago, mannequins were made without toes (脚趾). But now that open shoes have become popular, toes are necessary. 揥hen trousers were very popular, mannequins stood differently, says Candy Pratts, who directs window designers at Bloomingdale抯, a large New York store. 揘ow they stand in a more relaxed way that is better for dresses.
Even though a mannequin gets excellent care, her life in a good store is not likely to be more than two years. Bloomingdale抯 has 160 mannequins in use, and Candy Pratts says her department buys some new ones every two months. And that, she adds, is why it抯 best not to get used to any particular mannequin. When I get a favorite, I hate to see her go.
28. How do most window display designers refer to a mannequin?
A. By its sex.
B. By its number.
C. By the name of its designer.
D. By the name of the model it was based on.
29. What kind of mannequins do stores look for nowadays?
A. Fashionable.
B. Economic.
C. Beautiful.
D. Special.
30. What抯 the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. Mannequins stand in various poses.
B. Mannequins follow the change in fashion.
C. Mannequins are made to look like real persons.
D. Mannequins are designed to be useful rather than attractive.
31. What does Candy Pratts suggest by 揥hen I get a favorite, I hate to see her go?
A. Take mannequins seriously.
B. Never focus on one mannequin.
C. Don抰 buy too many mannequins.
D. Grow a deep relationship with mannequins.
D
The 1993 movie Jurassic Park wasn抰 the first film to show dinosaurs in the modern world. But it did a good job of bringing the idea of cloning dinosaurs into popular culture. It represented dinosaur cloning in a way that made sense to a lot of people, and it was a successful film, making more than $900 million worldwide.
Jurassic Park built on the idea of getting DNA from mosquitoes kept in amber. While this might seem possible at first sight, it抯 highly unlikely that scientists could find usable dinosaur DNA in mosquito fossils. Scientists would need a very specific sample (样品) — a female mosquito that had taken lots of dinosaur blood immediately before being trapped in amber. Since fossilization in amber is a relatively rare event, the chances of this happening are pretty small.
The lack of possible samples isn’t the only problem. Most insect fossils found in amber are also too young to contain dinosaur blood dinosaurs were gone by the time the insects became trapped. Many insects went bad from the inside out after they were trapped, leaving nothing inside for scientists to try to find. Finally, the sample would have to be very dry, since DNA can break down quickly in the presence of water.
But if researchers did find a perfectly kept mosquito with a body full of dinosaur blood, bringing back its DNA would still be difficult. The blood with the dinosaur DNA would be surrounded by the body of an insect, which has its own DNA. There could also be DNA from other cells (细胞) trapped in the amber. Then, of course, there’s the DNA in the laboratory itself — and in the body of the scientist.
32. Why is the film Jurassic Park mentioned at the beginning?
A. To lead into the topic of cloning dinosaurs.
B. To encourage scientists to clone dinosaurs.
C. To give a simple introduction to dinosaurs.
D. To stress the possibility of cloning dinosaurs.
33. The key to cloning dinosaurs is to gain _____.
A. insect fossils
B. dinosaur DNA
C. dinosaur blood
D. mosquitoes in amber
34. What is the author抯 opinion on cloning dinosaurs?
A. It is a step away from success.
B. It will be a fruitless attempt.
C. It requires further research.
D. It lacks creative work.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why was Jurassic Park successful?
B. Reasons for dinosaurs’ dying out
C. Can scientists clone dinosaurs?
D. Ways of cloning dinosaurs

From the time my kids were little I was determined to teach them the value of a dollar. 36 If they didn’t do their chores (家务), they didn’t get their allowance (零花钱). And if they didn’t have money, they couldn抰 buy anything. It抯 kind of like real life.
There was only one problem me. 37 And then, when they occasionally would want to buy something that they couldn抰 quite afford, I would sometimes let them borrow from the next week抯 allowance. But then I抎 forget how much they抎 borrowed and we抎 end up arguing about just how much I owed (欠) them. 38
Obviously I’m not alone — both in wanting to teach my kids financial responsibility and in needing help. 39 Gregg Murset, a financial planner who has six kids of his own, created MyjobChart — a website that helps you keep track of the jobs your kids are doing and determine how much they’re owed.
40 My 22-year-old daughter recently explained how her emergency fund (应急基金), built up by saving financial gifts and working during school, allowed her to live independently while continuing her education.
So perhaps the thing to remember is that kids learn about handling money from their parents. Save, spend responsibly and try to explain why and they might just end up getting the message.
A. In short, I was an unsuccessful banker.
B. It is helpful in teaching my kids about money.
C. I抎 forget to check whether they抎 completed their chores.
D. So I set up the reward system and record their required chores.
E. The kids can sign in and record when they抳e completed their work.
F. So I gave them chores and an allowance when they were relatively young.
G. Now some parents working on technologies have come up with ways to solve this problem.

Finally, I 51 that organisation and went to work for another company. A couple of years passed, during which time I抎 still get emails 52 from my old boss and teammates every so often.

A
I thought we all knew why independent school students do better than those in the state sector (区). They have more money, more funding and better resources and they don’t have the more challenging students we get in the state sector.
That was before I became a teacher-researcher in a two-year project led by my college, aiming to find the best way to support high-ability students. With funding from the London Schools Excellence Fund, we teamed up with some of the country抯 top private schools, like Eton and St Paul抯, as well as a number of state schools, to find out how to bring the knowledge-rich learning that characterises independent schools into the state sector.
Before the project, I hadn抰 had much contact (接触) with people who had been educated there. But the first thing I found when I visited was that teachers are the same. In the independent sector, they have challenges too — just different ones.
After two years, our research project has produced a huge set of findings.
One of the most useful findings was the importance of independent learning habits outside the classroom. I realised that although I was always telling students that they needed to do four to five hours of private study a week, they didn抰 have a clear idea of what this could look like beyond making notes. So I set them different activities including reading articles, doing activities and completing examination questions.
I started to put much more emphasis (重点) on activities outside the classroom, like researching topics beyond the syllabus (教学大纲) or discussing things in the news. And I praised anyone who asked questions in class, so we created a culture where students were proud to ask a question rather than seeing it as a way of flagging up the fact they hadn抰 understood something.
My research is beginning to have a real influence. My students now come to class and tell me what they want to know about. But they no longer expect me to do the research they want to find out for themselves. At the end of the year I gave students a questionnaire (调查问卷) on independent learning. One wrote: “Independent learning would limit the help I got from other students. It helps you to think for yourself.”
1. What did the author say about independent school students before her research?
A. They were troublemakers.
B. They enjoyed excellent learning conditions.
C. They performed worse than state school students.
D. They faced the same challenges as state school students.
2. Why did the author join the project?
A. To introduce good learning methods to state schools.
B. To exchange teaching ideas with other teachers.
C. To partner with other schools in education.
D. To find enough funds for state schools.
3. What changes did the author make in her classes?
A. She focused on group learning.
B. She worked out a different syllabus.
C. She encouraged independent learning.
D. She carried out various activities in class.
4. How is the author抯 research going?
A. It has made a big difference.
B. It has failed to make progress.
C. It is questioned by her students.
D. It involves many more students.
B
Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of her life, now with a new teacher who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work, Rafael Campo. Rafael is a doctor, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing really in a very great way is about poetry. And if we do anything when we’re with our patients, we’re really immersing (使……沉浸于) ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that’s what a poem does,” he said.
Campo worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents (住院医生).
He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap (鸿沟).
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said, “I think there’s no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there抯 just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest. Not everyone believes that抯 what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, 揑 was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it抯 happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn抰 survived the cancer. Don抰 we still have a role as healers there?
In a poem titled 揌ealth, Campo writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.
5. What do we know about Rafael Campo?
A. He works as a doctor.
B. He is under medical care.
C. He is a literature professor.
D. He knows little about poetry.
6. What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2?
A. The importance of medical training.
B. The effect of poetry in medical treatment.
C. The similarity involved in poetry and medical work.
D. The present relationship between patients and doctors.
7. What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry?
A. It comforts patients family.
B. It contributes to medical work.
C. It has nothing to do with doctors.
D. It keeps doctors away from patients.
8. What is Rafael Campo抯 view on poetry?
A. It requires a lot of spare time.
B. It can provide a useful tool for doctors.
C. It has little effect on patients’ conditions.
D. It should be included in emergency treatments.

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear schoolmates,
Could I have your attention, please?
Nowadays fewer students take exercise due to various reasons and some students fall ill every now and then because they are not healthy or strong enough. Therefore, we should take exercise regularly to improve our health.
First of all, take PE classes seriously. In PE classes we can build up our bodies under the careful guidance of PE teachers. Secondly, it is important to take exercise regularly after class or during breaks. In addition, it is also a good idea to join a sports club which you are interested in.
As the old saying goes, 揟he first wealth is health. Let抯 take exercise regularly for better health and a better future.
Thanks.
