A
If you decide to see the northern lights, consider heading to Canada, where they fill the sky 300 days a year in
certain regions.
Yukon
With its sweeping landscapes and dramatic mountain views, Yukon is an outdoor lover’s dreamland. Take
advantage of the brief window between the end of summer and first snowfall in autumn to combine outdoor activities
like boating along the storied Yukon River with northern light watching.
Churchill
Home to wolves, foxes, whales, moose and snowy owls, Churchill is well known for its arctic wildlife. It also
sees an average of 300 nights of northern light activity every year. With over a week in the wild, there’s a good chance
you’ll spot the lights.
Nunavik
Nunavik is Quebec’s northernmost region and one of four areas in Canada. It is home to the country’s Inuit
people. By day, travelers canoe or snowmobile to Vieux Fort-Chimo, a 19th-century fur trading post; hear elders tell
stories of a nomadic (游牧的) way of life; and listen to traditional throat singing, or katadjak — all led by an Inuit
guide. Under inky skies, the guide offers Inuit insights into the meaning of the light.
JasperLocated in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is home to the world’s second-largest dark sky preserve, making it one
of the best — and most convenient — places to catch northern lights throughout the year.
An especially great time to visit is during the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival in October when experienced
photographers from around the world host workshops to share their best tips and astronomers explain how to interpret
space weather data to determine optimal viewing time.
1. When should you go if you want to combine outdoor activities with light shows in Yukon?
A. In late spring. B. In early summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter.
2. Where can tourists have a relatively in-depth experience of Inuit culture?
A. In Yukon. B. In Nunavik. C. In Jasper. D. In Churchill.
3. What is special about the visit to Jasper in October?
A. The rarest show of lights. B. Interactions with the locals.
C. The diversity of wildlife. D. The chance to meet professionals.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了加拿大的几处适合看极光的地方。

combine outdoor activities like boating along the storied Yukon River with northern light watching.(凭借其广阔的
风景和壮观的山景，Yukon地区是户外爱好者的梦想之地。利用夏末和秋天第一场雪之间的短暂窗口，将
户外活动结合起来，比如沿着传说中的育空河划船和观看北极光。)”可知，如果你想把户外活动和Yukon
地区的灯光表演结合起来，你应该秋天去。故选C。

听长者讲述游牧生活方式的故事；并聆听传统的喉音歌唱，或katadjak——所有这些都由因纽特导游带
领。)”可知，游客在努纳维克可以比较深入地体验因纽特文化。故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“An especially great time to visit is during the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival in
October when experienced photographers from around the world host workshops to share their best tips and
astronomers explain how to interpret space weather data to determine optimal viewing time.(一个特别好的参观时间是在每年10月的贾斯珀黑暗天空节期间，来自世界各地的经验丰富的摄影师举办研讨会，分享他们最好
的技巧，天文学家解释如何解释太空天气数据，以确定最佳的观看时间。)”可知，十月去贾斯珀的特别之
处是与专业人士见面的机会。故选D。
B
I still remember when the teacher in nursery school asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”
crayons (蜡笔) danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the
hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of
ballerinas (芭蕾舞女) dancing, firefighters putting out a fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon—careers that
were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds.
My picture showed a stick figure with brown hair holding a carton (纸板箱) of orange juice over a large
rectangle that was supposed to be a counter. Underneath was my barely distinct handwriting: “When I grow up, I
want to work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across the scanner.” To this day
my parents won’t let me forget that out of everything I could have desire to be, my five-year-old self wished to
work at the local grocery store.
When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected
to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same
question twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence.
Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. Not all of
us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer convincingly. But I don’t consider that a bad
thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?
When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself working at the Market Basket, but in reality, if that
was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow
up, I will simply say “happy”.
Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be
happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or
two and try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.
4. What did the author want to be when she was in kindergarten?
A. A dancer. B. A firefighter.
C. An astronaut. D. A cashier in a grocery store.
5. How do teenagers typically respond when asked what they want to be in the passage?
A. They are sure about what they want to be.
B. They become more confident about their abilities.C. They might not be able to give a convincing answer.
D. They are expected not to have the kind of ideas children have.
6. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Never stop enjoying happiness.
B. We should stick to what we set out to do.
C. Everyone deserves to be happy in the end.
D. We’ll be happy as long as we make only a few mistakes.
7. What is the purpose of the article?
A. To tell an unusual childhood story.
B. To explain how to achieve happiness.
C. To draw attention to childhood dreams.
D. To share thoughts about careers and happiness.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在儿时想做一名收银员，但就未来讲，作者并不希望自己就真的在
Market Basket工作，而是想要简单的快乐。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段讲到“To this day my parents won’t let me forget that out of everything I could have
desire to be, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store. (直到今天，我的父母都不会让我忘
记，在我渴望成为的一切中，我五岁的自己都希望在当地的杂货店工作。)”可知，作者上幼儿园时想成为
一名杂货店的收银员。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same question twice as
often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence. (然而，当我们十几岁的时候，同样的
问题会被问到两次。不同的是，现在我们应该自信地回答。)”以及第四段讲到“Teens are expected to
know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. (青少年应该确切地知道我们想成为
什么样的人，以及我们将如何实现这一目标。)”可知，作为青少年应该充满自信得回答自己想成为什么样
的人，以及如何实现这一目标，可推断出当被问及他们想成为什么样的人时，青少年通常会很确定自己想
成为什么样的人。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths
in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. (快乐是每个人的归宿。我们可能想在生活中走不同的路，但无论走到哪里，我们都想快乐。)”以及最后一句“But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not
at the end of your journey yet. (但永远记住，如果你不快乐，你还没有走到旅程的尽头。)”可知，生活中真
正的目标是要快乐，如果不快乐，那么就要继续旅程，直到找到快乐。因此，最后一段的意思是永远不要
停止享受快乐。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本文作者在儿时想做一名收银员，但就未来讲，作者并不希望自己就真的在 Market Basket工
作，而是想要简单的快乐。文章倒数第二段讲到“When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself
working at the Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time
someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy”. (当我思考未来时，我绝对不会看
到自己在Market Basket工作，但实际上，如果这能让我快乐，我会这样做。所以，下次有人问我长大后想
做什么，我只会说“快乐”。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是分享对职业和快乐的看法。故选D。
C
TO GOOGLE is now in broad usage as a verb for getting information from the internet. If the tech giant has its
way, “I Googled” will become a standard reply to the question, “How did you get here?” On May 28th Google said
it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on
computer screens.
People have dreamed about driverless motoring since at least the 1930s, but only in recent years have carmakers
such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought, equipping test cars with the sensors and complicated
software required to pass through busy roads. Google has made rapid progress by designing a driverless car from the
ground up.
But bringing autonomous motoring to the world is proving harder than Google had imagined. It once promised
it by 2017. Now it does not see production models coming out before 2020. The technology is far advanced, but it
still needs to be made smaller and cheaper. Google’s current test cars are said to be filled with equipment worth
$80,000.
Google’s latest efforts may have as much to do with convincing the public and lawmakers as improving the
technology. The firm stresses that computers are more likely than humans to avoid accidents. The cars will have a
top speed of just 25mph and a front end made of soft foam(泡沫)to protect careless pedestrians. The benefits could
indeed be huge. Driving time could be given over to working, sleeping or browsing the web. However, the issue of
liability(问责)in the event of a driverless car crashing has yet to be resolved.
Turning cars into products may not be good news for traditional carmakers. But changing the concept of driving
into service fits well with Google’s plans to become as big in hardware as in software. And unlike car firms, whichtalk vaguely of becoming “mobility providers”, Google has a lot of money to make this a reality and no worries about
disturbing its current business. Google admits it still has “lots of work to do”. But one day Googling to the shops may
be a common activity.
8. What’s Google’s next goal?
A. To become a tech giant in computer. B. To get autonomous cars on the road.
C. To cut down the cost of making cars. D. To beat Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.
9. What benefits do Google’s driverless cars have?
A. All kinds of accidents can be avoided.
B. They can protect drivers from severe injury.
C. Drivers can be otherwise engaged on the road.
D. There’s no problem with who to blame for a crash.
10. What difficulty is Google faced with at present?
A. Technology. B. Competition. C. Finance. D. Promotion.
11. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Google—the tech giant B. Google’s Cars Trade
C. Autonomous Vehicle Adventure D. Google’s Driverless Cars’ Journey
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了谷歌公司设计并开发无人驾驶汽车获得的成果和挑战。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“On May 28th Google said it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage
in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on computer screens.(5月28日谷歌表示将制造100辆无
人驾驶汽车。它的下一阶段显然是追求在路上像在电脑屏幕上一样常见)”可知，谷歌下一阶段的目标是让
自动驾驶汽车上路。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The benefits could indeed be huge. Driving time could be given over to working,
sleeping or browsing the web.(这样做的好处确实是巨大的。开车的时间可以用来工作、睡觉或浏览网页)”
可知，谷歌的无人驾驶汽车可以让司机在路上处理其余的事情。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The technology is far advanced, but it still needs to be made smaller and
cheaper. Google’s current test cars are said to be filled with equipment worth $80,000.(这项技术已经很先进了，
但是仍然需要做得更小更便宜。谷歌目前的测试车据说装满了价值8万美元的设备)”可知，谷歌目前面临如何将在技术上将车做得更小更便宜的问题。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“On May 28th Google said it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage
in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on computer screens.(5月28日谷歌表示将制造100辆无
人驾驶汽车。它的下一阶段显然是追求在路上像在电脑屏幕上一样常见)”及第二段“Google has made
rapid progress by designing a driverless car from the ground up.(谷歌从头开始设计无人驾驶汽车，取得了快速
进展)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了谷歌公司设计并开发无人驾驶汽车获得的成果和挑战，D选项“谷歌
的无人驾驶汽车之旅”符合本文主旨。故选D。
D
Being more creative is something that most of us would prefer but suppose there is hardly anything we can do
about. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts.
However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”. That
is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says
he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe the limits to be real.
Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most
experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more
creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as
“Big C” and “small c”. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or
even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving
a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves
examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many
possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught,
practised and learnt.
Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive
psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this
quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend
to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and
following the usual behaviors is comfortable.
Moving out of our comfort zone, engaging in deliberate practice and standing conflict ideas, risk and failure are
all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will turn any of us into creative geniuses, but it does
have the potential to increase our level of creativity.12. Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits?
A. Because a goal can be ambitious. B. Because practice makes perfect.
C. Because each one can succeed. D. Because no restrictions exist.
13. Which of the following is an example of ‘small c’?
A. Settling in outer space. B. Building a plastic doghouse.
C. Developing robots to tend to the old. D. Discovering medicine to save lives.
.
14 What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Copy. B. Limit. C. Justify. D. Assess.
15. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Life is full of various challenges. B. We can learn to be more creative.
C. It’s better to take deliberate practice. D. Most can become creative geniuses.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了通过走出舒适区，参与刻意练习和坚持冲突的想法，风险和失败可以
帮助我们学习如何变得更有创造性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe
the limits to be real.(他说他还没有找到成功的限制，他不相信这些限制是真的)”可知，Ericsson认为他找不
到成功的限制是由于这些限制不存在。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a
new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking.(Small
c创造力指的是每天创造性地解决问题，比如创造一个新食谱或改进一个过程，心理学家将其进一步分为
相似思维和不同思维)”可知，small c为小创造力，它指代每天创造性的解决问题，选项B“建造一个塑料
狗舍”为日常进行创造性解决问题的例子。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people
share one personality quality: openness to new experience.(认知心理学家斯科特•巴里•考夫曼（Scott Barry
Kaufman）表示，大多数有创造力的人都有一个共同的性格特征：乐于接受新体验)”及“Since this quality
and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to(由于这种品质和这些过程已经被确定，
缺乏创造力的人可以尝试)”和下文“Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative
ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.(通常情况下，我们倾向于复制我们已经知道的东西，因为创造性的想法会让我们进入不熟悉的领域，涉及风险，而
遵循常规行为是舒服的)”可知，缺乏创造力的人可以尝试模仿，复制，划线词emulate与copy意思相近。
故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Moving out of our comfort zone, engaging in deliberate practice and standing
conflict ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will turn any of us
into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity.(走出我们的舒适区，参与
有意识的练习和坚持冲突的想法，风险和失败都是我们可以学习做得更好的事情。这样做不太可能把我们
任何人都变成创造性天才，但它确实有可能提高我们的创造力水平)”可知，即使我们不是创造力的天才，
通过练习和坚持冲突的想法可以帮助提高我们的创造力水平，因此，我们可以学习如何变得有创造性。故
选B。

The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are
comforting indeed. ___16___ They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers.
___17___ They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with
reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three
to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than
the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both
men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals.
___18___
A report was published last summer by a research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health. It concluded that

warnings about coffee being a health risk. Over the years, coffee’s been considered a cause of conditions such as
heart disease, stroke, and premature death.
Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated. ___20___ However, despite various
concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential
benefits.
A. It is considered as a health risk.
B. However, it wasn’t always this way.C. They have the effects of anti-depression.
D. They have given the public a very abnormal view.
E. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Monday started out well. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last minute studying for my math test
later that morning. I was confident of getting good grades. I left my house and ten minutes later, I sat with my
friends on the school bus. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At the next stop, a student
named Ryan got on the bus. He was in a rush and tripped over someone's foot. There was a loud noise as he fell to
the floor.
Every one of us on the bus laughed. Ryan got up, brushed his jacket and went to an empty seat. He tried to
laugh with us, but his face was red with embarrassment. The rest of the morning went by quickly. I did well in my
math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. Soon we heard the lunch bell. I met
my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. I noticed Ryan a few tables away, sitting by himself. He
caught me looking at him. I smiled at him quickly and looked away.
When we finished eating, we went to the courtyard to practise a cheer we would do at that night's football
game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practise it again one last
time. Just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe touch. That was
when I felt my jeans split (裂开) down the middle of my backside.
I froze. I had no idea what to do. I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. I
tried to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes.
Then I saw Ryan running towards me.

That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I
laughed at him crazily. I lowered my head, feeling embarrassed. But unexpectedly Ryan didn’t laugh. Instead, he
approached me from behind, took off his jacket swiftly and offered it to me, signaling to me to cover my torn jeans.
Without any delay, I did it. I did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. In total silence, I left the
courtyard.
That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him, giving the jacket back to him
and telling him the cheer went great. Then gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct
on the bus and thanked him again for his helping me out of the desperate situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted
me on the shoulder and told me to forget about that, joking he fell like that a lot. Hearing that, I was amused and
convinced that he was someone I would be friends with. Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed!
