I have completely forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper route when I was
a twelve-year-old boy in Marinette, Wisconsin back in 1954.
On a mindless Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s
house in her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles as they rolled to the roofs’ edge and shot out into the yard like comets falling from the sky.
I found myself a perfectly smooth rock. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand
as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old lady’s back porch. At the sound of fractured
glass, we ran away very fast.
I was scared about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.
I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window.
I waited until it was dark, snuck up to the old lady’s house, and put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving
from her. She thanked me for the paper and said, “Here,I have something for you. ” It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and began to eat the cookies as I continued my route.
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was
astonished. Inside was the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I'm proud of you. ”
24. The author and his friend threw stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house in order to_______.
A. amuse themselves B. help her repair it C. ask her for some help D. wake her up
25. What parttime job did the author do at the age of 12?
A. Making cookies. B. Collecting stones.
C. Delivering newspapers. D. Repairing windows.
26. When the author felt guilty about what he had done, he__________ .
A. went to see the old lady and admitted his mistake bravely
B. just wrote a letter to apologize to the old lady
C. turned to his friend for some advice
D. decided to rely on his own efforts to make up for his mistake
27. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “snuck up to” in paragraph 6?
A. ran into B. slipped into C. broke into D. rushed into

Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor’s education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter (邂逅) with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way 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.
Rafael 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.
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’s just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest.” Not everyone believes that’s what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, “I 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’s happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn’t survived the cancer. Don’t we still have a role as healers there?”
In a poem titled “Health”, Rafael 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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. What is Rafael Campo’s 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.
D
A new device works like a solar panel, except that it doesn’t harvest energy from the sun. It absorbs energy from the cold night sky.
A prototype (原型) of the device produced enough electricity at night to power a small light bulb. A bigger version might one day light rooms or charge phones. It also could power electronics in remote or low-resource areas that lack electricity.
The device makes use of the temperature difference between Earth and outer space. It then uses that difference to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the generator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation (隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.
Researchers tested a 20-centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford, California. The generator produced up to about 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of device. That was enough power to light a small light-emitting diode, or LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. To do that, the system might need more insulation around the cool top plate.
The device also could help power remote weather stations or other environmental devices, says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who worked on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. This may be useful in polar regions that don’t see sunlight for months at a time, Raman says. “If you have some low-power load and you need to power it through three months of darkness, this might be a way.”
32. What can we know about the new device?
A. It gains energy from the sun. B. It’s been widely used in life.
C. It is cooler than a solar panel. D. It’ll be popular in special areas.
33. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?
A. Application fields of the device.
B. The developing process of the device.
C. The working principle of the device.
D. Significant effects of the device.
34. How can the device produce more electricity?
A. By putting more insulation around the top plate.
B. By using it in extremely cold and clear nights.
C. By attaching the bottom plate to a warm plate.
D. By covering the top plate with a transparent lid.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Device Using the Cold Night Sky to Produce Electricity
B. A Device Bringing New Hope for Those in the Cold Night
C. The Difference Between a Solar Panel and a New Device
D. The Temperature Difference Between Earth and Outer Space

Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of
courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “it’s okay, just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t
argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly.
“Well, my poor girl. Don’t cry. Tell me what happened to you.” asked her mom. Emily looked up her
mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “it doesn’t matter, girl. As long as you practice
singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don’t be beaten by a
failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and
never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you.”
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom’s suggestion.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing.

【36 题详解】横线后一句“Do whatever you want in your own room or your side of the room,but stay out of your roommates' space and any shared space.”建议我们不要侵犯室友的个人空间,也就是说要尊重别人的隐私。B 项“Respect everyone's space”与本段中心思想一致,故选择 B 项。
【37 题详解】本段第一句“Don't care about unimportant things.”建议我们不要关注一些不重要的事情, 把主要精力集中在主要事情上,D 项“Learn to let the little things go”符合上下文语境,故选择 D 项。
【38 题详解】本段第一句“Deal with real problems when they arise”要求我们当问题出现的时候,要立刻 着手解决。不要拖延。A 项“If real issues do come up”与横线后句“you should talk about them right away.” 正是对第一句的完美解释,符合语境,故选择 A 项。
【39 题详解】本段的中心思想是“Be considerate in little ways.”要求我们在小事情方面要考虑周全。横 线前后句列举的都是我们为室友所做的小事。E 项“Offer an umbrella to a roommate on a rainy day”内容 也是其中之一,故选择 E 项。
【40 题详解】本段要求我们在宿舍里承担起自己的责任,确保完成自己应该做的事情。G 项“Make sure you do your fair share of the housework”符合上下文语境,故选择 G 项。
