An extremely rare manuscript(手稿) signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is
expected to fetch up to $790,000 at a Sotheby's auction next month.
The document contains a passage from the famous 1859 work On the Origin of
Species, in which Darwin put forth his theory of evolution. The document was once
thought to be a deserted page from an earlier manuscript of the work. But experts now
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！understand it was written in 1865 and sent to the editor of the Autographic Mirror
who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin.
"While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript pages have survived over the last
hundred or more years, he was known to keep revising his publications, often
throwing away pages from working drafts as waste paper, making them extremely
rare," Sotheby's said in a statement.
On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time
in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015. The book offers Darwin's
revolutionary idea that species evolve over generations in the process of natural
selection.
Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831-1836 voyage
on the H.M.S. Beagle, during which he observed and collected specimens(标本)from
a number of species. On the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, Darwin noted
that the finches(鸣雀) on the island were similar to finches on the mainland; however,
the availability of different foods in each area had led to differences in beak shapes.
The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov.
30 and Dec 8, and online bids will be accepted between Nov. 25 and Dec. 8. The
auction house estimates that the document will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.
The auction, which is titled Age of Wonder, will also include a first edition of On
the Origin of Species and a copy of scientific paper by Darwin and another naturalist.
24. What do we know about the manuscript?
A. It's a page of On the Origin of Species. B. It's a draft of Darwin's scientific paper.
C. It's a signed writing sample to an editor.D. It's waste paper from Darwin's study.
25. What makes Darwin's On the Origin of Species the most influential academic
book?
A. His methods of research. B. His adventure on the sea.
C. The rare manuscript. D. His theory of evolution.
26. What does the underlined phrase "backed up" mean in Paragraph 5?
A. supported B. explained C. declared D. created
27. What is the purpose of the auction?
A. To put the manuscript on sale. B. To display Darwin's works.
C. To vote the best academic books. D. To release a new discovery.

版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！Bilinguals(双语者) are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up
until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same
time would confuse children and slow their cognitive(认知的) growth.
Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of
psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way
to investigate how different brains process language.
Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes
bilinguals aren't smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ
in their use of executive(执行) function-a system that both helps the brain access
particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks.
Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence,
Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence
is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them
seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and cancelling out things
that take their attention away.
Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to
learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that-the equivalent(等同
物) of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has
less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages' structure and
vocabulary. "In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a
new language," she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may
present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals(单语者)
can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to
construct two different vocabularies.
"The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international
friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique
philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world," Bialystok adds.
28. What did most educators think of children's bilingualism before the 1970s?
A. It surely made kids smarter. B. It could be a terrible experience.
C. It should be taught separately. D. It may promote cognitive growth.
29. What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok?
A. Executive function. B. Cognitive function.
C. Similar language patterns. D. Good study habits.
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！30. What is Bialystok's attitude toward bilingualism?
A. Skeptical. B. Conservative. C. Tolerant. D. Objective.
31. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Are bilinguals really smarter? B. Should kids learn another language?
C. Why do bilinguals have an advantage? D. What factors affect language learning?

According to a study done by University of Michigan researchers, shopping to
relieve stress was up to 40 times more effective at giving people a sense of control
and shoppers were three times less sad compared to those who only browsed for
items.
More than half of the 1,000 consumers participating in the survey said they have
impulsively(冲动地) shopped to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety or depression.
Twenty-three percent of respondents said they've maxed out a credit card in the past
year. Millennials, 68 percent, responded by saying they have stress spent in the past,
compared with 53 percent of Gen Xers and only 26 percent of Baby Boomers.
By gender, 48 percent of men and 31 percent of women who have stress spent said
they had purchased alcohol when stressed. 82 percent of women stress spent on
clothing compared to 52 percent of men. Women also lead stress spending for
jewelry, 42 percent, compared to 22 percent for men, with men stress spending more
for electronics, 44 percent versus 30 percent for women.
In fact, shopping to reduce stress can actually help you live a healthier life by
making sure that your blood pressure is lowered. Shopping to relieve stress is also
known as retail therapy(疗法) as a form of regulating stress. The survey found that 82
percent had only positive feelings about their purchases and that the positive mood
boost that followed those purchases was long-lasting.
However, the side effect of retail therapy, for many, can start out as a relatively
harmless mood booster but could possibly grow into an impulse that uses up money
and cause conflict, thereby adding a significant amount of stress to a person's life.
32. What can we know about Millennials according to the survey?
A. They tend to max out their credit cards.
B. They bear more stress than Baby Boomers.
C. They are more likely to purchase to reduce anxiety.
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！D. They have an advantage over Gen Xers in managing stress.
33. Which of the following has topped the list when people have stress spent?
A. Alcohol. B. Clothing. C. Jewelry. D. Electronics.
34. What can be learned about retail therapy dealing with stress?
A. It is harmless. B.It is highly recommended.
C. It promotes personal relationship. D. It can serve as a temporary solution.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Can Shopping Relieve Stress? B. Where is Your Money Going?
C. Shopping Habits across Generations D.A New Cure for Depression

I never knew how well music could unite everyone until one day.
On a recent grocery run, my son, Jack, asked me to 1 Neil Diamond's "Beautiful
Noise." Most 7-year-olds ask for a Disney soundtrack. 2 Jack. From the time he
was 3 years old, Jack was humming(哼) Neil Diamond's 3 .
It didn't happen 4 . Diamond's songs were just among the 1,500-plus tracks on
our family iPod. But I quickly 5 that Jack's love of Neil Diamond could become
the 6 that tied him to my 7 father, who died when Jack was 4.
The legendary 8 was among my dad's favorite artists. Every time he heard
"Sweet Caroline," Dad joined in for the chorus 9 he was on stage at the
Hollywood Bowl. Now when I catch that 10 on our iPod—and hear Jack singing
along—I feel 11 connected to my dad.
It turns out, using music to strengthen familial 12 isn't unfounded. Studies like
this one, 13 in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, show pre-school-age children form
social bonds, based in part, on song. By age 2 or 3, kids can 14 songs their
caregivers sing with remarkable tone, and children show greater fluency in song than
in speech. It suggests that music serves as a powerful tool to strengthen social
connections, even when people are physically 15 .
Now when hearing Jack singing Neil Diamond's songs, I join in and I feel certain,
somewhere, somehow, my dad is singing along.

整的短文。
Miss Lee was an English teacher in an international school. She had many years of
over-seas teaching experience. She had a weekly English music broadcast where she
played different English songs. She found it a very good way to benefit her students in
English study. What's more, it did improve the relationship between her and her
students.
In order to carry it forward, Miss Lee tried to get her students to recommend
English songs to her for the broadcast. The students were very enthusiastic about it,
and they were actively involved in it. They tried their best to find good English songs
for her. The activity was becoming more and more popular among students and
teachers. The time for English song recommendation became the moment everyone
was looking forward to.
When broadcasting, she usually announced who recommended the song and then
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！played it during lunch time. Of course, if a song was chosen to be played, the person
who recommended it also felt very proud.
Miss Lee tried to give every student a chance to share themselves through their
music, including one disagreeable student, Chris. He chose to sit in the back of the
classroom alone and constantly couldn't concentrate on study. Most of the other
teachers and students found it difficult to communicate with him. However, Miss Lee
knew that he just needed a friend, or at least someone he could connect with.
One day, Miss Lee called him into her office and said, "Chris, please think of a
song you like that has some beautiful English words, and I'll play it on the broadcast
for you." Chris agreed happily because he felt being valued.
Chris eventually recommended a song. Miss Lee couldn't like the song too much.
She put it in on the broadcast as scheduled and made sure to announce Chris's name,
so everyone knew that he recommended such a great song. As the song rang, Chris
cheered loudly, "It's my song." Then he sang along with it, and he sang amazingly
well. From then on, Miss Lee would ask Chris to lead the other classmates to sing an
English song before class. She exactly felt him warming up to her.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Covey most. Her older brother and younger sister were also her "awesome
encouragers" who provided hugs and company.
For those who may become inspired by her story, Lydia has one message: "Don't think
that you have to accept things in the world. If there is something that bothers you,
think of ways to make it better!"

第二节
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！答案：①a②had been
established③disappointment④seeing⑤invested⑥really⑦in⑧strengthened⑨
where⑩to pursue
解析：①考查冠词。句意:我了解到,就在一年前,格拉纳达大学设立了一个新的
学位,名为“现代语言及其文学”,其中包括汉语和其他三种语言。可数名词
degree在句中表示“一个新的学位”,泛指,new发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词
a修饰。故填a。
②考查动词时态和语态。句意:我了解到,就在一年前,格拉纳达大学设立了一个
新的学位,名为“现代语言及其文学”,其中包括汉语和其他三种语言。分析句子
可知,establish(设立)是宾语从句中谓语动词,与主语(a) new degree之间是被动关
系,结合句中“I learned that only a year before, ...”可知,动作发生在“过去的过
去”,应使用过去完成时态。综上,谓语动词应用过去完成时的被动语态。故填
had been established。
③考查名词。句意:这四年是一段充满希望和失望的旅程。提示词与hope是并
列关系,应用名词disappointment,作宾语。 故填disappointment。
④考查非谓语动词。句意:大三时我曾数次想要放弃,因为经过两年的刻苦学习,
我仍无法用中文进行简单的对话。根据句意可知,“(see) that after two years of
hard study it was impossible for me to keep a simple conversation in Chinese.”是原因
状语,see是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系,所以应用现在分词表示
主动。故填seeing。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意:考虑到投入的时间,我决定完成我的学位。结合句意分
析句子可知,提示词作定语修饰名词time,是非谓语动词,同时与逻辑主语time之
间是被动关系,表示“被投入的时间”,应用过去分词形式。故填invested。
⑥考查副词。句意:在我的学习期间,真正帮助我开始说汉语的是汉语桥比赛,我
以零天赋和极大的热情参加了这个比赛。根据句意,提示词修饰动词helped,应用
副词really作状语,意为“真正”。故填really。
⑦考查介词。句意:在我的学习期间,真正帮助我开始说汉语的是汉语桥比赛,我
以零天赋和极大的热情参加了这个比赛。分析句子可知,“which I participated
with zero talent and great enthusiasm”是定语从句修饰先行词contest,关系代词
which将先行词代入定语从句中作动词短语participated in的宾语,句中需要加上
介词in并置于关系代词前。故填in。
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！⑧考查动词时态。句意:为比赛所做的准备使我受益匪浅,并加强了我提高的愿望。
分析句子可知,提示词strength与谓语动词benefited是并列关系,作谓语动词,也应
用一般过去时态。故填strengthened。
⑨考查定语从句。句意:所以2015年8月我来到南京大学,在那里我生活和学习
了9个月。分析句子可知,空格处为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Nanjing
University,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作地点状语,表示“在南京大学”,应
使用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意:一年后,我前往云南师范大学攻读另一个对外汉语教学
硕士学位。根据句意,“(pursue) another Master's Degree”是“I headed to Yunnan
Normal University”的目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to pursue。
第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
One day, Li Ming and I were getting boiled water in the water dispenser when
suddenly the boiling water burnt his hands.
The burn was so severe that the skin was red and swollen. However, I managed to
remain calm, quickly recalling what I had learnt in my first-aid class. I placed his feet
under the cool running water right away to ease the pain. Afterwards, I called a taxi
and rushed him to the hospital where he received further treatment.
After checking carefully, the doctor said because of my correct and timely
treatment, Li Ming would recover faster. Only then was I aware how important and
practical a basic knowledge of first aid was.
第二节

Playing the song Chris recommended completely changed his life. Needless to say,
the boy was greatly encouraged and thrilled. And he had been happier and more
focused in English class ever since. He made rapid progress in English and other
subjects. He even found confidence and actively took part in various activities. While
everyone else misunderstood him, Miss Lee understood him and knew that he just
needed someone who accepted him and gave him a chance.
Miss Lee even recommended Chris to participate in the annual school song contest.
As expected, he won first prize. He walked off the stage and gave Miss Lee the most
honest smile that she had ever seen. Then other teachers and students changed their
版权所有©正确教育 侵权必究！attitude towards Chris. They were happy to see Chris's changes and were getting
along with him. When one of Miss Lee's coworkers asked her, "How did you get
through to Chris?" Miss Lee smiled slightly and responded, "I gave him a chance—
just through one song."
