Hurtful Words Brought Us Trouble
One day, I was working on a difficult math problem in the classroom. However, my classmate Tom kept talking 9 behind me. I felt 10 and shouted, “Tom, be quiet! I can’t concentrate.” But Tom continued talking. I went mad, “Tom, shut up!” For the next five minutes we threw 11 words back and forth at each other. Then I was 12 up and couldn’t help saying something hurtful. “At least I don’t have an ugly lazy eye like you!” I shouted. I knew this would 13 him deep inside and shut him up. Suddenly, he fell silent. Then to my surprise, he tried to reach over my seat and grab me as he yelled, “That’s it! That’s it!” 14 at his reaction, I sat back in my seat. Never had I seen Tom act like this before.
Later on we were to the 15 office, where we were encouraged to discuss the matter. It wasn’t until then that I realized when I hurt someone with my words, sometimes the pain may be so deep that it would never fade away. At last, I said sorry to Tom and kept this lesson in mind, always 16 myself to watch my words.
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节；满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Ontario has 15 types of licences and each licence certifies (证明具有某种资格) you to drive a specific type of vehicle. To drive a car, van or small truck, you will need a G class licence. Here’s how you get one.
Apply for a driver’s licence
To apply for a driver’s licence in Ontario, you need to.
● be at least 16 years old
● pass an eye test
● pass a written test about the rules of the road and traffic signs
Where to apply
To apply and take the required written tests, visit:
● a DriveTest centre
● the ServiceOntario Bay and College location in downtown Toronto
Due to higher than normal volumes (量), you must book an appointment online in order to complete a written driver’s licence test.
Study for the knowledge test
Ontario’s Official Driver Handbook will help you prepare for your written knowledge test. It covers rules of the road and practical driving tips. You can buy the handbook:
● online through ServiceOntario
● at a DriveTest centre
● from many retail stores
Cost: $14.95 plus $0.7 taxes
Learning to drive: graduated licensing
Once you pass your eye and written tests, you get a G1 licence. Before you can get a full G licence, you have to:
● finish two learning levels: G1 and G2
● pass two road tests
This process is called “graduated licensing” which is designed to give new drivers time to practice and gain driving experience over time.
You have up to five years to finish the whole process. After five years, if you do not get your full G licence, you will need to start over.
17. What is required to apply for a driver’s licence in Ontario?
A. Being a Canadian citizen. B. Passing the relevant tests.
C. Reaching full eighteen years old. D. Having a thorough physical examination.

19. What is the purpose of graduated licensing?

C. To offer new drivers time to improve themselves.
D. To give a DriveTest centre an opportunity to make money.
B
My name is Thomas: My belief began when I was just a kid. I dreamed of becoming a doctor.
My mother was a servant. Through her work, she observed that successful people spent a lot of time reading. She announced that my brother and I had to read two books every month and submit our book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks. Years later we realized her marks were a trick. My mother was nearly illiterate; she had only received a third-grade education. Although we had no money, between the covers of those books, I could go anywhere and be anybody.
When I entered high school, I was an A-student, but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to hang out with the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student and then to a C-student, but I didn’t care; being cool was enough for me.
One night my mother came home from work and I complained about not having enough Italian shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With everything left over, you can have all the Italian shirts you want.” I was very pleased with that arrangement. But once I got through allocating money, there was nothing left. I realized my mother was a financial talent to be able to keep a roof over our heads and feed us with the food on the table. I also realized that immediate satisfaction was going to get me nowhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my studies and became an A-student again, and eventually I realized my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story — a woman with little formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job more important than parenting. This I firmly believe.
20. Why did the author’s mother ask his brother and him to read?
A. Because she found they liked reading. B. Because she wanted them to succeed.
C. Because she wanted them to realize her dream. D. Because she found reading was very interesting.
21. What does the underlined word “illiterate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Uneducated. B. Successful. C. Intelligent. D. Dishonest.
22. What happened to the author when he entered high school?
A. He kept being a C-student. B. He became more fashionable.
C. He discontinued his schooling. D. He wasn’t concerned with study.
23. What may be the author’s attitude towards his mother?
A. Proud and satisfied. B. Admirable and grateful.
C. Regretful and guilty. D. Understanding and supportive.
C
Several weeks ago, I pulled an old road map-out of the glove box and passed it to my children. They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we’d visited, and I pointed them out on it.
Google Maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many contusing places, but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it’s up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still stand to benefit from it.
As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic, “When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing fundamental skills that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map skills still belong in today’s classroom.”
As a child I had National Geographic maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I’d “seen”. Even now as a mother of four, I’ve also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child.
Additionally, in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one’s usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse “big picture” thinking, showing kids that there’s a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it.
So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table.
24. How did the children react when they were given the paper map?
A. They showed great curiosity. B. They seemed totally confused.
C. They considered it old-fashioned. D. They found it less convenient than GPS.
25. What might be the topic of the article written by Trevor Muir?
A. The teaching focus in today’s classroom. B. The situations where paper maps are used.
C. The necessity of digital maps in the modern world. D. The benefit of developing paper map skills for kids.
26. Which of the following shows the author’s opinion?
A. Internet connections are very reliable today. B. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps.
C. Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision. D. Paper maps make people connected with each other.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. How to Teach Kids Fundamental Skills with Paper Maps
B. Time to Encourage Kids to Step into a Bigger World
C. How to Teach Kids about Different Kinds of Maps
D. Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps
D
When parents ask, “What grade did you get?” there is a common follow-up question: “So who got the highest grade?” Many educators select and publicly announce “the best student” in a class or school. Adults praise children for outperforming others. Sports tournaments award those who surpass others. The practice of making social comparisons is so common in daily life that the negative effects caused by social comparisons are usually ignored.
One well-known strategy to get rid of social comparisons is to provide children with participation awards, which means children get the same prize despite their performance. Such awards, however, may not abolish social comparisons. High-performing children may feel unfairly treated and look down on the latter group. More generally, those who receive unwarranted (无正当理由的) rewards may come to believe they deserve to receive the recognition.
How, then, can we make children feel proud of themselves and motivate them without the unwanted side effects? A better approach is to use temporal comparisons — encouraging children to compare themselves with their past self rather than with others.
Researchers recently conducted a study, where 583 children were asked to do a reading and writing exercise designed to influence the kind of comparisons they would make: social comparisons or temporal compared. Results showed children who compared themselves with others said they wanted to be superior to such people, while those who compared themselves with their past self said they wanted to improve rather than be superior. Temporal comparisons changed children’s goals away from a desire for superiority and toward self-improvement.
What, then, can parents and teachers do with this knowledge? Parents and teachers can praise children’s improvement over time to let them know they are making progress. Also, teachers can create learning contexts that track children’s own progress over time, such as report cards that display their changes in learning and performance.
Of course, temporal comparisons are not a panacea (万灵药); we should never push children too much to improve themselves. The road toward self-improvement is paved with struggles and setbacks. Rather than making children feel bad for those failures, we should encourage them to learn from their imperfect past self — and thus help youngsters become better than before.
28. What can be learned about the strategy mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. It is in high-performing children’s favor.
B. It stresses the importance of good teamwork.
C. It may make high-performing children less confident.
D. It may discourage children from gaining great performances.
29. What does the research finding suggest?
A. Children have a desire to feel proud of themselves.
B. Temporal comparisons help self-improvement.
C. Children need to be exposed to various comparisons.
D. Social comparisons give children a sense of superiority.
30. What is Paragraph 5 intended to do?
A. To show the power of knowledge. B. To assess children’s performance.
C. To list learning outcomes. D. To provide practical ways.
31. Which of the following may the author agree with?
A. Life is full of horrible mistakes. B. Comparisons may lead to failure.
C. Failure is an opportunity to learn. D. Struggles are difficult to overcome.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Washing soda is a kind of chemical that can be used to remove stubborn stains (污点) from laundry. It also has many uses around the house. And it is used in a range of industrial applications as well. Washing soda should not be confused with washing powder, which is a powdered soap used as a detergent (清洁剂). 32
Washing soda (Na2CO3) is also known as sodium carbonate (碳酸钠). It is a salt of carbonic acid, a chemical that produces a wide range of salts known as carbonates. One common source of washing soda is the ashes of plants. 33 Sodium carbonate can also be created from what is known as table salt.
34 It helps remove a range of stains, and unlike other detergents, washing soda does not usually stain. It is also used to treat hard water, so that clothing will come out clean, without any stain. Sodium carbonate is also used to help fabric (织物) have a longer lasting color.
Around the house, washing soda can be used to wash things like coffee machines and bathroom floors which may accumulate mineral deposits as a result of exposure to hard water. It can also be used for other touch cleaning jobs like cleaning the stove. 35 That’s because it can damage your skin.
Many markets carry washing soda, typically with other laundry products. After purchasing washing soda and bringing it home, store it cautiously. Sodium carbonate can be dangerous in large quantities. 36 So keep washing soda out of the reach of children pets, and clearly label the container to indicate its harm.
A. It also differs from baking soda.
B. For this reason, it is sometimes called soda ash.
C. Sodium carbonate is also preferred by fabric artists.
D. In laundry, washing soda accomplishes several things.
E. You should wear gloves when cleaning with washing soda.
F. Washing soda is one of the most popular detergents in the market.
G. For example, it can cause stomach pain if a large amount is swallowed.

Behind an “unruly” child at school, there may often be a social, creative and active child. For this reason, we must never judge by 37 , because the truth could be quite different.
Joe Whale, a 9-year-old boy, was repeatedly 38 by his teachers because he drew sketches (素描) and images 39 following the lessons in class. Joe had been 40 as an “unruly” student, but his parents didn’t think so. They knew their son had strong 41 skills from the earliest years of his life. His 42 is the so-called “Doodle Art”, that is to say, drawings with simple lines that show real elements (元素) or elements that are 43 in his mind.
His drawing teacher also noticed the boy’s 44 creativity and shared his drawing on Instagram. And from there they were noticed by a restaurant owner in England. He contacted the boy to 45 a wall in his restaurant. Joe immediately set to work and in 12 hours he had 46 filled the wall with his beautiful “doodles”. Joe’s dad pointed out, “As parents, we should encourage our children to 47 their passions and dreams.” Drawing for hours might be a long and 48 job, but for Joe, it was pure joy to give free expression of his 49 .
Many parents, when their child has received negative assessments at school, tend to blame them even further. The fact is that every child has a 50 and schools and parents should work together to 51 and encourage it.
37. A. appearances B. wealth C. abilities D. knowledge
38. A. interrupted B. promoted C. informed D. criticized
39. A. in spite of B. instead of C. other than D. regardless of

44. A. similar B. impressive C. reliable D. essential
45. A. fix B. build C. decorate D. draw
46. A. deliberately B. separately C. completely D. barely
47. A. follow B. wake C. interpret D. share

Emotional eating is that people use food as a way to deal with feelings. In other words, eating 52 (use) by some people as a way to express as a way to express their emotions. We’ve all been there, finishing a whole bag of chips out of boredom or eating cookie after cookie while 53 (study) hard for a big test.
Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings. However, understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps 54 (change) it. One of the 55 (big) arguments about emotional eating is that it is caused by negative feelings. People often turn to food 56 they’re lonely, sad, bored or stressed out. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert 57 Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.
Emotional eating 58 (pattern) can be learned. A child who is given candy after a big 59 (achieve) may grow up regarding candy as 60 reward for a job well done. A kid who is given cookies as a way to stop crying may learn to link cookies with comfort 61 (easy).

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Growing up, we didn’t have much money. Actually, we had very little. We lived in a small house with holes in the floor. We wore old clothes and had little food. With three little mouths to feed, my daddy worked as a gatekeeper in a middle school and then farmed our own small field until dark. Daddy provided the best he could for us and mama made our clothes on her old sewing machine. We could have easily applied for welfare, but my parents wouldn’t think of it. Our family was full of love and proud of hard work.
Then I was in the third grade, in Mrs Harper’s class. One day, Mrs Harper brought a huge box or toys to school to give to “poor” children. Everyone was invited to bring some of his or her own toys from home to put in the box. Needless to say, I had hardly any toys of my own to offer.
My eyes got big the next day when I looked into that box. It was like a dream world to me — so many colorful toys! Clearly, Mrs Harper saw the curious look on my face, and although I never asked with a smile, she let me pick out two toys for myself from the box. I was so thankful and thought that I was the luckiest girl in the whole world!
When I got home, I couldn’t wait to show mama what I brought from the school. She admired the toys and asked where I got them. I told her about the box for the poor children and that Mrs Harper had let me pick two toys from the box! Mama thought for a few seconds and said in a very sweet way, “No ... no, you can’t keep these two toys.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children.
Mrs Harper said she understood what mama meant.

One possible version:
Mama explained to me that those toys were for “poor” children. She took me by the hand and showed me around our house and said that we had a house to live in and that we had enough to eat. Above all, we had a family and we loved each other. We were not poor at all. But there were many children who didn’t. They were the people who really needed the toys. Eventually she asked me to take the two toys back to school, put them in Mrs Harper’s box and told her what mama had said.
Mrs Harper said she understand what mama meant. And after school, she took me and some of my classmates to the street to hand out those toys. When I saw the smiles on the faces of those homeless children, I began to understand what mama had told me. While we still have the ability to help others, we should leave what we are given to those who need it most. Mama was long gone, but her words have stayed with me all the time.
