For nearly two decades, a thin, sun-burnt postal worker could frequently be seen carrying packages along a
dangcrous mountain trail in the Taihang Mountains.
The 10-kilometer-long route, which is between 20 centimeters and 1 meter wide, is known as the “cat road” by
locals, meaning that it is so dangerous that only cats could walk on it. Whereas, Zhao Yuefang, a postal worker in Ewu
township in Huguan county, Shanxi province, had to walk the route every day to deliver mail.
Every day at the crack of dawn, he would start his journey along the “cat road”. From picking up the day’s post to
delivering it to villagers and returning along the same route, it took Zhao four days. During rainy and snowy seasons,
the mountain road, part of which hugs the cliffs, would become slippery and dangerous. One day in the winter of 2003,
the “cat road” was covered in thick snow and he slipped off the trail. Fortunately, he was able to stop his sharp descent by
grabbing a tree branch and slowly managed to climb to safety.
By 2012, Zhao had walked more than 300,000 km and delivered over 800,000 pieces of mail. Born and raised in
the deep mountains, Zhao truly understands the significance of mail deliveries to villagers. “They depend on the mail
to keep in touch with the outside world,” he said. “Their sheer joy written on their face while receiving any post struck
me,” he added.
In 2012, a 67-km-long tourist highway was built and gone were those days when Zhao risked his life to walk on
the “cat road”. But Zhao was even busier than before. “The number of packages I handle daily now exceeds the number I
used to deal with in the past,” said Zhao, adding that villagers are turning to online shopping and ordering more and
more goods by post.
24. Why is the mountain trail referred to as “cat road”?
A. It’s shaped like a cat. B. It’s intended for cats.
C. It is too narrow and risky. D. It rains cats and dogs there.
25. What does the word “descent” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Fall. B. Pain. C. Turn. D. Landing.
26. According to the passage, which words can best describe Zhao?
A. Persistent and dedicated. B. Diligent and ambitious.
C. Considerate and confident. D. Courageous and generous.
27. What has always motivated Zhao’s enthusiasm for his job?
A. The villagers’ respect for him.
B. His being born and raised there.
C. Today’s huge number of the packages.
D. The value of the deliveries to the locals
C
Is life a story or a game? Answers may vary from one to another. Over the course of life, we find
学科网（北京）股份有限公司things to love and commit to —a job, a partner or a community. At times, we struggle to learn from our
misfortunes to grow in wisdom, kindness and grace.
Will Storr, a writer whose work I admire, says this story version of life is a misunderstanding. In his book The
Status Game, he argues that human beings are deeply driven by status. Rather than about being liked or accepted, he
writes, it’s about being better than others. “When people are obedient to us, offer respect, admiration or praise, that’s
status. It feels good.”
Life is a series of games, he adds. There’s the high school game of competing to be the popular kid. The lawyer
game to make partner. The finance game to make the most money. The academic game for fame. The sports game to
show that our team is the best. Even when we are trying to do good, Storr claims, we’re playing the “virtue game” to
show we are morally superior to others.
I think Storr is in danger of becoming one of those guys who ignore the noble desires of the human heart and the
caring element in every friendship and family. The status-mad world that Storr describes is so loveless. In fact, gaming
as a way of life is immature. Maturity means rising above the shallow desire —for status —that doesn’t really nourish
us. It’s about cultivating the higher desires: the love of truth and learning; the inner pleasure the craftsman gets in his
work, which is not about popularity, and the desire for a good and meaningful life that inspires people to practise daily
acts of generosity.
How do people gradually learn to cultivate these higher motivations? To answer that, I’d have to tell you a story.
28. What lies in the core of Will Storr’s opinion about life?
A. The pride in one’s virtue. B. The pursuit of superiority.
C. The desire for acceptance. D. The motivation by wealth.
29. What can be viewed as higher motivations in the text?
A. Love and inspiration. B. Maturity and desire.
C. Commitment and kindness. D. Friendship and popularity.
30. What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A. To correct an attitude. B. To compare two values.
C. To explain two arguments. D. To criticize a viewpoint.
31. What story do you think the author will tell next?
A. A king’s-comeback story. B. A rags-to-riches story.
C. A Yuan Longping-style story. D. An overnight-success story.
D
Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by
sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Mołyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind
has a built-in concept of shapes that is so inborn that a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored
vision. Alternatively, the concepts of shapes are not inborn but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight,
touch and other senses.
After their attempt to test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his
team carried out another experiment on bumblebees. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of
objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were first trained
学科网（北京）股份有限公司in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch
but not see the items. The researchers found that the insects spent more time in contact with the shape they had been
trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the
objects.
The researchers also did the opposite test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark
and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward,
though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux’s problem because
the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.
However, some experts express their warnings against the result. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of
science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile (触觉 )
information about straight edges and curved surfaces in their nests.
32. What is Molyneux’s problem about?
A. Whether mankind’s sense of touch outweighs sight.
B. Whether mankind’s idea of shape is inborn or learned.
C. Whether blind people can identify the shape of an item.
D. Whether the blind can regain their sense of touch after recovery.
33. How did Lars Chittka and his colleagues try to figure out Molyneux’s problem?
A. By experimenting on blind children.
B. By conducting controlled experiments.
C. By rewarding bumblebees with sugar.
D. By observing bumblebees in their nests.
34. What is Jonathan Birch’s attitude towards the conclusion of the bee experiments?
A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Dismissive. D. Ambiguous.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Scientists Found Senses Matter
B. Visual-Tactile Puzzle Has Been Solved
C. Experiments Will Help the Blind Regain Sight
D. Bumblebees May Help Solve Molyneux’s Problem

The Peasants (Ⅱ)
At noon they hoe up weeds;
Their sweat drips on the soil.
Who knows the rice that feeds
Is the fruit of hard toil!
Food is a necessity for survival. But do you know how much work goes into producing it? The poem The Peasants

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。
I clearly remember the day I walked into class with a big change — my very first pair of eye glasses and I was the
first to wear glasses in my primary school.
I was filled with excitement, eager to show them off to my friends. I had chosen pink framed glasses, thinking they
would look fantastic on me.
I had never worn glasses before, so selecting them felt like a fun shopping experience. I got to pick the shape I
liked and even chose a pretty pink and purple colour combination.
The reason behind getting the glasses was my poor eyesight. I couldn’t copy words and proper grammar from the
blackboard because I sat at the back of the class, and everything was too vague for me to see. My friend would read
aloud every phrase to me so that I could write them down, like a parrot.
Wearing those glasses was like stepping into a 3D cinematic world. I could see everything as clearly and each tiny
de tail felt like a delightful surprise.
However, on the day I wore my glasses to school, everyone’s reaction to my transformation was beyond my
expectation. All the boys laughed and even teased me. Some kind-hearted girls forced a smile and told me that my
glasses looked good on me, but I knew they didn’t. They all lied.
Though I needed those glasses more than I wanted them, yet I started to dislike my new glasses in the following
week. A month passed, my classmates still weren’t used to seeing me in glasses and I took them off during the lunch
break or when the classes were dismissed. However, little did I know that my decision to wear them would change the
lives of many of my friends.

College Students’ Sharing
To offer us a glimpse of college life, our school held a sharing activity last Saturday. The students in Senior 3 and
20 college students got involved in it.
The activity started with the introductions of different universities with delicate PPT, vividly demonstrating what
college life was like. Then came the highlight, the “ask and answer” session, where we eagerly shot questions concerning
majors, academic requirements and clubs. Their patient and thorough answers were so impressive that we all gave a
thumbs-up.
The activity has received overwhelming response. Not only do we have a clearer picture of college life, but also
we are highly motivated to go all out for our dream universities.

One Monday, one of my friends looked at me with curiosity. Confused, I inquired about her fascination. She extended
her hands and asked if she could try my glasses on, her eyes sparkling with expectation. Surprised as I was, I handed
them to her without hesitation. She put them on, her jaw dropping in amazement. “Unbelievable! I can see the items in
distance so clearly without narrowing my eyes!” she exclaimed. “That was exactly how I felt some time ago.” I identified
with her, a secret smile flitting between us.
A week later, I was shocked to see the same friend return to school with a pair of glasses. Sensing the surprised
look on my face, she grinned, “Your new glasses showed me that I needed to get my eyes checked and wear glasses
too.” With time ticking by, those with poor eyesight in the class started wearing glasses too, inspired by me. Never had
I thought that I could make such a positive impact on my classmates. From then on, I needn’t worry about being teased
with glasses on. What matters is that we can see the world more clearly.
