Alice
Moore
is
a
teenager
entrepreneur(创业者)，who
in
May
2015
set
up
her
business
AilieCandy.By
the
time
she
was
13，her
company
was
worth
millions
of
dollars
with
the
invention
of
a
super?sweet
treat
that
could
save
kids'
teeth,
instead
of
destroying
them.
It
all
began
when
Moore
visited
a
bank
with
her
dad.On
the
outing，she
was
offered
a
candy
bar.However，her
dad
reminded
her
that
sugary
treats
were
bad
for
her
teeth.But
Moore
was
sick
of
missing
out
on
candies.So
she
desired
to
get
round
the
warning，“Why
can't
I
make
a
healthy
candy
that's
good
for
my
teeth
so
that
my
parents
can't
say
no
to
it？”With
that
in
mind，Moore
asked
her
dad
if
she
could
start
her
own
candy
company.He
recommended
that
she
do
some
research
and
talk
to
dentists
about
what
a
healthier
candy
would
contain.
With
her
dad's
permission，she
spent
the
next
two
years
researching
online
and
conducting
trials
to
get
a
recipe
that
was
both
tasty
and
tooth?friendly.She
also
approached
dentists
to
learn
more
about
teeth
cleaning.Consequently，she
succeeded
in
making
a
kind
of
candy
only
using
natural
sweeteners，which
can
reduce
oral
bacteria.
Moore
then
used
her
savings
to
get
her
business
off
the
ground.Afterwards，she
and
her
father
secured
their
first
business
meeting
with
a
supermarket
owner，who
finally
agreed
to
sell
Moore's
product—CanCandy.
As
CanCandy's
success
grows，so
does
Moore's
credibility
as
a
young
entrepreneur.Moore
is
enthusiastic
about
the
candy
she
created，and
she's
also
positive
about
what
the
future
might
bring.
She
hopes
that
every
kid
can
have
a
clean
mouth
and
a
broad
smile.
Meanwhile，with
her
parents'
help，Moore
is
generally
able
to
live
a
normal
teenage
life.Although
she
founded
her
company
early
on
in
life，she
wasn't
driven
primarily
by
profit.Moore
wants
to
use
her
unique
talent
to
help
others
find
their
smiles.She
donates
10%
of
AilieCandy's
profits
to
Big
Smiles.With
her
talent
and
determination，it
appears
that
the
sky
could
be
the
limit
for
Alice
Moore.

I
learnt
about
the
Pygmalion
Effect
(皮格马利翁效应)
when
I
was
7
years
old
at
Riverdale
School
in
Palmerston
North
and
I
copied
Melissa
Crawford's
answers
in
a
spelling
test.Before
that
I
was
average
at
school
but
after
that，because
Melissa
Crawford
was
smart,
and
I
got
all
the
right
answers,
I
got
put
in
all
the
smart
kids
groups.
From
then
I
did
really
well
at
school
because
it
was
believed
by
the
teachers
that
I
would
and
I
also
got
grouped
with
the
smart
kids.
This
experience
that
occurred
at
my
primary
school
shows
just
how
important
the
Pygmalion
Effect
is
in
terms
of
being
around
mentors
(导师)
that
expect
that
you're
going
to
do
well
and
also
being
around
people
who
are
smart.
The
Pygmalion
Effect
is
one
principle
you
want
to
use
if
you
want
to
make
money
fast.Have
mentors
that
expect
you
will
make
money
fast
and
as
an
extra
boost
hang
around,
copy
and
learn
from
other
people
who
are
also
making
money
fast.
Yesterday
this
site
had
over
5,000
unique
visitors
and
the
traffic
to
it
is
increasing
all
the
time.
A
year
ago
I
contacted
a
group
of
people
who
got
lots
of
traffic
in
their
sites
and
I
learnt
from
them.Truthfully，I
don't
know
if
they
expected
me
to
start
getting
decent
traffic
to
websites
but
I
imagined
they
did
so
they
might
as
well
have.
So
there
you
have
it,
the
Pygmalion
Effect.
P．S.
My
grammar
and
spelling
are
not
that
great
nowadays
but
that's
actually
completely
irrelevant(不相关的)
when
it
comes
to
getting
lots
of
visitors
to
your
site.

Have
your
parents
ever
inspected
your
room
to
see
if
you
cleaned
it
properly?
Imagine
having
your
entire
house,
garage,
and
yard
inspected
at
any
time—with
no
warning.
Inspections
were
a
regular
part
of
lighthouse
(灯塔)
living,
and
a
keeper's
reputation
depended
on
the
results.
A
few
times
each
year,
an
inspector
arrived
to
look
over
the
entire
light
station.
The
inspections
were
supposed
to
be
a
surprise,
but
keepers
sometimes
had
advance
notice.
Once
lighthouses
had
telephones,
keepers
would
call
each
other
to
warn
that
the
inspector
was
approaching.
After
boats
began
flying
special
flags
noting
the
inspector
was
aboard,
the
keeper's
family
made
it
a
game
to
see
who
could
notice
the
boat
first.
As
soon
as
someone
spotted
the
boat,
everyone
would
do
last?minute
tidying
and
change
into
fancy
clothes.
The
keeper
then
scurried
to
put
on
his
dress
uniform
and
cap.
Children
of
keepers
remember
inspectors
wearing
white
gloves
to
run
their
fingers
over
door
frames
and
windowsills
looking
for
dust.
Despite
the
serious
nature
of
inspections,
they
resulted
in
some
funny
moments.
Betty
Byrnes
remembered
when
her
mother
did
not
have
time
to
wash
all
the
dishes
before
an
inspection.
At
the
time,
people
did
not
have
dishwashers
in
their
homes.
In
an
effort
to
clean
up
quickly,
Mrs
Byrnes
tossed
all
the
dishes
into
a
big
bread
pan,
covered
them
with
a
cloth,
and
stuck
them
in
the
oven.
If
the
inspector
opened
the
oven
door,
it
would
look
like
bread
was
baking.
He
never
did.
One
day,
Glenn
Furst's
mother
put
oil
on
the
kitchen
floor
just
before
the
inspector
entered
their
house.
Like
floor
wax,
the
oil
made
the
floors
shiny
and
helped
protect
the
wood.
This
time,
though,
she
used
a
little
too
much
oil.
When
the
inspector
extended
his
hand
to
greet
Glenn's
mother,
he
slipped
on
the
freshly
oiled
surface.“He
came
across
that
floor
waving
his
arms
like
a
young
bird
attempting
its
first
flight，”Glenn
later
wrote.
After
he
steadied
himself,
he
shook
Glenn's
mother's
hand,
and
the
inspection
continued
as
though
nothing
had
happened.

How
to
Meet
New
People
Everybody
knows
that
first
impressions
count.
If
you
want
to
know
how
to
meet
people,
just
follow
these
steps.
◆Live
in
the
moment.
To
meet
new
people,
the
first
thing
you
have
to
do
is
enjoy
the
present
moment
of
the
new
conversation.
Let
go
of
your
expectations
and
fears.
__36__
When
you
approach
a
new
person,
don't
ask
yourself，“How
do
I
look？”
or
“How
do
I
sound？”
Instead,
ask,
“What
would
this
person
like
to
talk
about？”“What
matters
to
this
person？”
◆__37__
If
you
keep
up
your
confidence,
people
feel
that
you're
a
person
who
is
worth
talking
to.
You
should
be
confident
before
you
walk
into
a
room
with
new
people
in
it
and
build
your
confidence
as
the
conversation
goes
along.
Just
smile,
talk
about
the
things
that
you

第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)
第一节：(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Next
week,
strangers
with
a
truck
will
take
away
everything
we
own,
except
the
clothes
on
our
backs,
the
car
we
will
drive,
and
as
much
stuff
as
we
can
pack
into
it.
It's
called
__41__.
Some
people
do
it
often.
For
others,
like
me,
it's
a
rare
experience.
In
all
my
adult
years,
I've
moved
only
three
times.
My
first
__42__
and
I
moved
into
our
first
house
with
a
bed,
our
clothes
and
a
few
gifts.
That
was
many
years
ago.
Over
the
years,
I
filled
that
house
with
three
children,
a
few
dogs
and
enough
stuff
to
__43__
the
ceiling.
Then
the
kids
grew
up,
I
lost
my
husband
to
cancer,
and
I
began
to
learn
about
__44__.
First,
I
let
go
of
the
idea
of
being
in
control.
Life
isn't
about
being
in
charge
of
what
__45__；
it's
about
being
in
charge
of
what
we
do
with
it.
Next,
I
let
go
of
__46__
the
things
I
care
most
about,
like
keeping
in
touch
with
the
people
that
__47__
the
most
to
me.
I
let
go
of
the
people
whose
__48__
are
about
anger
or
hatred,
and
tried
instead
to
surround
myself
with
those
who
shine
with
__49__.
Finally,
I
let
go
of
being
alone—I
remarried.
I
__50__
moved
to
a
new
city
with
my
new
husband,
and
after
that
move,
I
__51__
I'd
stop
collecting
meaningless
things.
But
12
years
later,
here
I
am,
still
learning
about
letting
go.
We'll
all
move
someday
from
this
__52__
to
the
next,
but
we
won't
need
a
truck
to
do
it.
We'll
take
__53__
with
us
and
leave
behind
a
memory
of
the
life
we
lived,
the
mistakes
we
__54__，
and
all
the
love
and
kindness
we
tried
to
show.
That
memory
might
not
be
a
treasure,
but
if
we're
__55__，
someone
will
keep
it
and
hold
it
close
and
never
let
it
go.

第二节：读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。续写词数应为150左右。
I
awoke
in
the
night
to
find
my
husband,
Marty,
gently
rocking
our
baby
son,
Noah.I
stood
for
a
moment
in
the
doorway,
watching
this
amazing
man
with
whom
I
was
so
blessed
to
share
my
life,
lovingly
stroke
Noah's
fat
pink
cheeks
in
an
effort
to
comfort
him.I
felt
in
my
heart
that
something
was
seriously
wrong
with
Noah.This
was
one
of
several
nights
Noah
had
been
up,
burning
with
a
high
fever.
Tears
filled
my
eyes
as
I
watched
Marty
move
Noah's
little
cheek
up
against
his
own
chest,
so
that
Noah
could
feel
the
vibrations
of
his
voice.Noah
is
deaf.Learning
to
comfort
him
has
brought
on
a
whole
new
way
of
thinking
for
us.We
relied
on
our
voices,
audio
toys,
and
music
to
comfort
our
other
children.But
with
Noah,
we
need
to
use
touch,
sight,
the
feel
of
our
voices,
and
most
importantly,
the
use
of
sign
language
to
communicate
emotions
and
a
sense
of
comfort
to
him.Marty
made
the
sign
for
“I
love
you”
with
his
hand
and
I
saw
a
tear
roll
down
his
cheek
as
he
placed
Noah's
tiny,
weak
hand
on
top
of
his.
We
had
taken
Noah
to
the
doctor
more
times
than
those
I
can
remember.It
had
been
a
week
and
a
half
and
Noah's
fever
remained
very
high
and
very
dangerous,
despite
everything
the
doctor
or
we
had
tried.I
knew
in
my
soul
the
way
only
a
mother
can
know,
that
Noah
was
in
trouble.
I
gently
touched
Marty's
shoulder
and
we
looked
into
each
other's
eyes
with
the
same
fear
and
knowledge
that
Noah's
wasn't
getting
any
better.I
offered
to
take
over
for
him,
but
he
shook
his
head.When
morning
finally
came,
we
called
the
doctor
and
were
told
to
bring
him
in
again.We
already
knew
that
he
would
probably
put
Noah
in
the
hospital.So,
we
made
arrangements
for
the
other
children,
packed
bags
for
all
three
of
us,
and
tearfully
drove
to
the
doctor's
office
once
again.Our
hearts
filled
with
dread,
we
waited
in
a
small
room,
different
from
the
usual
examining
room
we
had
become
used
to.Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting，as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India.In addition to tigers，there are also bears，deer，wolves，birds，etc.
Location：In Madhya Pradesh state，almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur.The nearest village is Tala，which is the access point of the park.
Opening Hours and Safari (打猎)Times
Safaris operate twice a day，starting at dawn until late morning，and mid afternoon until sunset.The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 pm to spot the animals.The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season (季风季节)．
