The Magic of a Book
One day when I was 11, my mother gave me an order: I was lo walk to the public library, and borrow at least

____13____.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off
the ____14____ at random (随机的). The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had

morning, he was gone. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked the same to my dog. I ran my fingers over the
____15____ of the dog on the cover. My eyes run across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I
had read the title without ____16____ the book. I borrowed it from the library for the summer.

story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own ____18____ dog and I were, in my
mind, running together.
My mother’s call made me ____19____ to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book,
and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly
wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but
noticeable ____20____ in my classroom performance during the next year.

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。
When Laura was twelve, she started taking classes at Miss Grace’s School for Art. At first, she didn’t enjoy it;
the “novice artists”—the kids who hadn’t really done art before—worked mostly with clay, and Laura didn’t do
well in it.
It wasn’t until her third year that Laura found something she was really good at—charcoal drawing (素描).
She loved watching the lines spread across the page as she moved the charcoal back and forth over the paper.
第3页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司One day, Sophia, the best artist in her class, sat down and set up her easel next to Laura. Laura felt uneasy.
She’d actually found an art form that she enjoyed—and was good at—and now Sophia was going to outshine (胜
过) her again? Laura fought back tears when Miss Grace entered the room.
“Hello class,” Miss Grace said. “We’ll continue to work on the project today.”
What masterpiece (杰作) would Sophia have come up with?
Laura looked at Sophia’s easel and she couldn’t believe it—it was a mess! For a brief moment, Laura couldn’t
actually believe her drawing was better than Sophia’s. But then she looked at Sophia, who was watching Laura with
an anxious expression.
“I... I couldn’t decide what to do,” Sophia said. “And you’re so good. Sometimes I feel like my work is just so
bad in comparison.”
Laura looked to see if Sophia was joking, but she seemed completely serious. Now Laura was shocked. “I’m
not talented... Miss Grace seldom praises me. You’re the best one in our class!”
Sophia raised her eyebrows. “I might be a really good copier, but I have no idea what to do when it comes to
making up my own images. You are so great at making new things out of the old ones. I’ve loved your works.”
“I’ve loved yours, too,” Laura said.
“Well, definitely not this one,” Sophia said.
Laura smiled. “Maybe not right now. But if you move these lines up...” she said, pointing her finger on
Sophia’s paper.
Sophia was quiet for a moment. “That’s a great idea!” she said finally.
Laura smiled and turned back to her drawing, looking every so often at Sophia’s work to see that she was
taking her advice, down to the last line.
24. When Laura started art classes, she ________.
A. didn’t do well in the course B. didn’t feel confident in drawing
C. didn’t like working with clay D. didn’t get along with her classmates
25. Why did Laura feel uneasy when Sophia sat next to her?
A. Because she was punished by her teacher.
B. Because she had not really done art before.
.
C Because she thought Sophia was better than her.
D. Because she had no idea what Sophia wanted to draw.
26. Laura’s story mainly tells us that ________.
.
A failure is the key to success

Curiosity—the desire to know, to discover, to learn. Inspired by curiosity, humans are found everywhere on
our planet, and beyond it in space. Yet according to human behaviorist and author of Curious, Ian Leslie, although
we are all born curious, not all of us bring this into adulthood, and we can lose out as a result.
As Leslie explains, curiosity shapes us from the start. By trying new things, we build knowledge, and want to
know more. “We are born aware that we don’t know stuff—we want to experience and discover.” However, the
contrast between childhood and adulthood is clear. “We ask 40,000 questions a year between the ages of two and
five,” says Leslie, “around 110 each day; adults, in comparison, ask just 20.”
As we get older, we may feel hesitant about asking questions, believing this exposes (暴露) gaps in our
knowledge. We can become scared to share untraditional ideas for fear of criticism or misunderstanding. We can
also be a victim of our success, as Leslie explains. “Once you’ve worked out how to do your job, then you don’t
feel curious anymore. The need to learn goes away—in a way, curiosity has done its job. But that doesn’t mean you
shouldn’t cultivate (培养) it.”
Leslie’s tips for cultivating curiosity begin with spending time with the experts—children. “Talk to your kids
,
and try to answer those strange, difficult questions they have—like ‘What is air?’ This makes you think about
things you’ve taken for granted—it reawakens your curiosity in what’s around us and how we perceive (感知) the
world.”
So does finding what Leslie calls an “informal mentor”, through work or other circles, who is happy to share
their expertise, from a skill, technology, to a field of learning. “Try to think of people the way children think of
adults—as sources of secret knowledge, a great store of learning you can tap into,” says Leslie.
Leslie also suggests creating a “spark file” —a digital or physical notebook in which you collect interesting
thoughts. “Fill it with facts you’ve come across, sentences you like, insights that strike you. Let it be random. And
let it build. Over time you’ll build up a rich source of inspiration, and you’ll think, ‘Oh that’s interesting, that
relates to this...’ And suddenly your mind starts firing away with new ideas and ways of thinking.”
27. According to Leslie, when we get older we may ________.
A. try more new things B. fill our knowledge gaps
C. ask some strange questions D. lose our natural curiosity
28. The word “contrast” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. difference B. relationship C. argument D. secret
29. What can we learn from the passage?
第5页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司A. We can talk to children to reawaken our curiosity.
B. We are willing to share our expert knowledge with others.
C. We can cultivate our curiosity by using a digital notebook.
D. We are afraid of asking questions because of misunderstanding.
D
Everyone looks forward to progress, whether in one’s personal life or in the society. Progress shows a person’s
ability to change the way he is living at the moment. Progress must lead to a better way of doing things. All these,
however, remain true only if people choose to accept technology and find new and more efficient (高效的) ways to
move forward.
However, at the back of the minds of many people, especially those who missed the “good old days”,
efficiency comes with a price. When communication becomes efficient, people are able to contact one another no
matter where they are and whenever they wish to. The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or to see
each other without even leaving their homes. With the communication tools, such as mobile phones and iPads,
people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally. A personal visit carries with its additional feature
of having to be in the person’s presence for as long as the visit lasts.
With efficiency also comes mass production (大规模生产). Such is the nature of factories and the success of
industrialization today. Factories have improved efficiency. Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are
better made and produced with greater accuracy (精确) than any human hand. However, with the improvements in
efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products. For example, many handicrafts
(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory. Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand, now
that the supply is quick and efficient, the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the
handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.
Nevertheless, we must not make the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view. In fact,
progress has allowed tradition to keep up. It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many
old products can be brought back to their old state. New technology is required for old products to stay old.
It is people’s attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.
Technology is flexible. There is no fixed way of making use of it. Everything depends on people’s attitude. The
worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to think again about their attitudes and views of society.
When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs, a new “past” is created.
30. Progress can benefit people when they are willing to ________.
A. live a better life than before
B. look for more efficient methods
第6页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. change the way of living at the moment
D. accept technology and find ways to move forward
31. Why does the writer talk about handicrafts in Paragraph 3?
A. To explain supply can increase the demand.
B. To stress efficiency may have a negative effect.
C. To suggest factories should improve efficiency.
D. To show handmade objects may be of low quality.
32. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Progress can meet the needs of daily life.
B. Technology can be used in different ways.
C. A new past can be created by making progress.
D. People’s attitude decides the use of technology.
33. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Technology can make the old products new.
B. Technology may cause fewer personal visits.
C. Technology can lead to higher quality in production.
D. Technology may reduce people’s contact with others.

Small Talk, Large Effect
Have you ever found yourself waiting at the stop for your bus to arrive and have a stranger ask an ordinary
question? Perhaps you’ve stood in line waiting for a coffee and feel the need to just look over to the person next to
you and ask about the weather.
(This is small talk, and despite the name) it’s actually a big part of daily life.
“Small talk may seem trivial (微不足道的), but it’s a natural way for people to connect. It may seem like a
waste of time. But it serves an important role in our social interactions (交往). Big relationships are built on small
talk,” Lindy Pegler, who has a master’s degree in psychology, wrote on Medium.
In fact, we spend a lot of our time making small talk. Often, we find ourselves making small talk with the
same people on a regular basis. Coming up with small conversations is the foundation (基础) of these relationships.
The benefits of such conversations can actually contribute to our happiness and benefit our lives as a whole. In
a recent study, researchers found that having a healthy amount of acquaintances ( 相识的人) and keeping these
第7页/共10页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司relationships contribute to one’s sense of belonging to a community.
So how does one start making small talk? It can be as simple as admiring one’s shirt, asking about their day or
commenting on the traffic. “First and foremost, small talk is an act of politeness,” Pegler noted. “Our small talk at
our first meeting is our chance to show who we are,” she added.
Who knows where this can lead? Nowadays, the small connections we make can lead to big results. You might
find someone who has a common interest, or maybe even someone who turns out to be a close friend.
There is one thing for sure: Making small talk can brighten our day, even if it’s just a nice comment or a
thoughtful question.
So the next time you find yourself waiting for the bus or checking your watch while you wait in a line, take the
opportunity to look up and talk to someone around you. After all, it takes a small connection to lead to a larger one.
34. What is actually a big part of daily life?

35. What did the researchers find in a recent study?

36. According to Pegler, why do we make small talk?

37. Would you like to try to make small talk in your daily life? Why or why not?
