A
What brings a nation together? Of the four choices—shared values, language, history, and
religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll(民意调查), seven out of 16 countries chose values as
the greatest factor bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high
in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked. Still, history
was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the
United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people.
The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice.
Respect your elders
In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to
a nation than those who are under 45 years old did.
Do you speak Canadian?
Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps
because the country speaks two official languages, French and English.
Church and state
Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national
pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries—with France scoring it at 1%, the
lowest of all.
21. According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together?
A. Values. B. History. C. Religion. D. Language.

Liu Jiaoyang, 16, carefully winds a bobbin (绕线筒) with thread, places it on her sewing
machine and then presses her foot down to begin sewing. While she's doing this, she pretends to
guide cloth through the machine.
Each Tuesday afternoon, after the bell rings for the fourth period, Liu becomes a fashion
designer. At the same time, the rest of the students at the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal
University in Kunming are also having classes a little bit different from the usual ones. Some
students dance, others create robots, and still others review films. These are just a few of the 28
elective courses the school began to offer last month. “The fashion design class has become the
bright point of my week. I learn how to choose colours and cloth as well as sewing and sketching
(素描) skills. It's all helping me to realise the dream of becoming a fashion designer I've had since
I was a little girl，” Liu said.
Design is Liu's passion, but for other students the electives are more an opportunity to take a
fun course that relieves the pressure of schoolwork. Some students, for example, are learning how
to play bridge.
Chen Xiejiao, 15, is one of them. “Many people think that playing a card game like this in
class is a waste of time. But in fact, bridge is a very challenging game that helps develop memory
and math skills，” she said.
Li Ke, 15, is studying robotics. “I hope to have built and designed my own robot by the end
of the semester. It will be able to complete a task, like moving a ball from one place to
another，” he said.
24．Which do you think is the best title for the passage?
A．Novel Elective Courses
B．How to Use a Sewing Machine
C．Three Students in the High School Attached to Yunnan Normal University

We've all had the experience of wanting to get a project done but putting it off to a later date.
So why do we delay things? Are we built to operate this way at some times?
These questions are central to my research on goal pursuit (追求). It all starts with a simple
choice between working now on a given project and doing anything else. The decision to work on
something is driven by how much we value accomplishing the project in that moment—what
psychologists call its subjective value. And delay, in psychological terms, is what happens when
the value of doing something else outweighs the value of working now.
This way of thinking suggests a simple trick to defeat delay. For example, instead of cleaning
my house, I might try to focus on why grading papers is personally important to me. It's simple
advice, but sticking to this strategy (策略) can be quite difficult.
People are not entirely wise in the way they value things. For example, a dollar bill is worth
exactly the same today as it is a week from now, but its subjective value—roughly how good it
would feel to own a dollar—depends on other factors besides its face value, such as when we
receive it. The tendency for people to devalue money and other goods based on time is called
delay discounting. For example, receiving $100 three months from now is worth the same to
people as receiving $83 right now. People would rather lose $17 than wait a few months to get a
larger reward.
Getting something done is a delayed reward, so its value in the present is reduced: the further
away the deadline is, the less attractive it seems to work on the project right now. The tendency to
delay things closely follows economic models of delay discounting. One way to manage it is to
make the finish line seem closer. For example, vividly imagining a future reward reduces delay
discounting.
28．Which of the following best explains “outweighs” in Paragraph 2?
A．Is equal to. B．Is greater than.
C．Is involved in. D．Is central to.
29．What should we do to overcome delay in the author's opinion?
A．Avoid setting a deadline too strictly.
B．Consider doing nothing temporarily.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．Increase the subjective value of working now.
D．Realize great fun of working immediately.
30．Which proverb can best summarize the theory of delay discounting?
A．Time and tide wait for no man.
B．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
C．One of these days is none of these days.
D．Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
31．What is suggested to deal with delay discounting?
A．Asking for nothing in return. B．Lowering our high expectations.
C．Searching for instant satisfaction. D．Making future rewards more inviting.
D
The ideal teacherstudent relationship is one where both the teacher and student learn and
adapt to new ideas and reasoning. Just as a tour guide can't make you enjoy the time you spend
wandering around the scenery, a teacher, despite their title, can't be the force that is responsible for
the student's learning. However, like a good tour guide, a teacher can make it a lot nicer than it
would be otherwise. A teacher's job is to guide the student as best they can down the path of
knowledge and it is the student's job to follow as best they can. All other aspects of their
relationship as teacher and student stem from (来自) this.
The most important trait (特性) for a teacher to possess is the ability to adapt to their
student's needs. If a teacher always works on a fixed schedule and never makes any changes, they
will not be able to instruct the student as well as they would otherwise. They must be able to
deviate,_spending more time in the places that create confusion and less in the places that are
quickly understood.
Obviously knowledge is the most important thing to be gained but along with that there needs
to be a level of satisfaction or accomplishment along with enjoyment. Someone can work like
crazy and complete more than everyone else combined but unless they feel that they have truly
achieved something the task has no meaning simply because they will have done nothing in their
minds. If you feel like you're doing nothing you will become bored. It is therefore important for
some form of enjoyment to be present otherwise nothing can be gained.
32．Why does the writer mention a tour guide in the passage?
A．To show that tour guides are better than teachers.
B．To make it clear that teachers are just like guides.
C．To make us understand his point of view better.
D．To make a comparison of the two jobs.
33．The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to “________”．
A．the ideal teacherstudent relationship B．knowledge
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂C．the student's learning D．a teacher's job
34．The underlined word “deviate” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．do something in a new way B．teach their own students
C．have the ability to teach D．explain what they teach
35．What does the last paragraph make us believe?
A．The happier we feel, the more we'll gain.
B．A wise teacher should fill the students with satisfaction.
C．To achieve more, you'd work like crazy.
D．One who doesn't pay attention to knowledge will become bored.

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class.They always played together and went
home together.One day，Robert and Henry were going home from school，when，on turning a
corner，Robert cried out，“A fight! Let’s go and see！”
“No，”said Henry.“Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手)this quarrel.We have
nothing to do with it and may get into trouble.Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward，and afraid to go，”said Robert，and he ran away.Henry went straight
home，and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward，and they laughed at him a great
deal.From then on，they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior，because he learned
that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved，and that
he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong.Thus，he just ignored the other boys’ laughter
and continued to go to school and study as well.However，Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home
with him anymore.Instead，he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every
day after school，they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games
and had a lot of fun.
A few days later，Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river，and got out of his
depth.He struggled，and screamed for help，but all in vain.His so-called friends got out of the
water as fast as they could，and did not even try to help him.
Paragraph 1：
Robert was fast sinking.____________________________________________________
