A Sweeter Apple
A father and his daughter were flying a kite in the park. The young daughter was a little bit tired, so they took
a break on the bench. When the daughter saw an old man selling apples, she asked her father to buy her some
apples. Her father didn’t bring much money with him, but it was enough to buy two apples. So he did, and gave
both of them to his daughter, smiling.
His daughter held one apple in her right hand. Then the father asked her if she could share one of the apples
with him. When the girl heard this, she quickly took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, she
also took a bite from the second apple. The father was surprised. He wanted to know why his daughter acted in
such a greedy(贪婪的) way. He was lost in thought. Perhaps he was just thinking too much. His daughter was too
young to understand sharing and giving. A smile disappeared from his face.
Suddenly, his daughter held up the apple in her left hand and said, “Daddy, take this one! It is much juicier and
sweeter.” Her father didn’t know what to say. He felt bad about making the judgment(判断) so fast about a small
child. So he smiled again, knowing why his daughter quickly took a bite from each apple.Don’t judge anything or draw a conclusion(结论) too quickly. Always spend some more time in understanding
things better.

A black hole is a place in outer space with very strong gravity. Gravity is a great force（力量） that shapes
the universe. On Earth, gravity makes apples fall from trees. It keeps your feet planted on the ground. The gravity
in a black hole is much stronger. It is so strong that nothing around it can get away from it, not even light.Black holes are invisible. We can’t actually see them because they don’t throw back light. But scientists can
find them with space telescopes and special tools. The strong gravity makes nearby stars move in a certain way. By
studying how the stars move, scientists can find out if they are flying around a black hole. Strange things happen
around black holes. This makes black holes a popular subject of science fiction（科幻）stories, although they are
very unreal.
A black hole forms（形成）when a star dies. The star falls in on itself and turns into a very small point.
Because of its small size and huge mass（质量）, the gravity will be so strong that it will pull light in and become
a black hole. Black holes can grow huge as they continue to pull other things in and “eat” them. Many scientists
believe that there are super-massive black holes at the center of galaxies, including the Milky Way.
The idea of the black hole was first suggested by two different scientists in the 18th century: John Michelle
and Pierre-Simon Laplace. In 1967, a physicist named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the name “black
hole”. Studying black holes can tell us many things about our galaxy and help scientists answer questions about the
universe.
23. The word “invisible” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. far to go B. easy to find
C. difficult to catch D. impossible to see
24. The third paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. how big black holes are B. how heavy black holes are
C. how black holes are formed D. how black holes “eat” stars
25. From the passage we learn ________.
A. a star’s moving path can help scientists find a black hole
B. writers love writing about black holes because they are real
C. many scientists believe that there aren’t any black holes at the center of the Milky Way
D. John Archibald Wheeler found the first black hole in space
【答案】23. D 24. C 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍什么是黑洞、黑洞如何形成以及科学家对黑洞的研究探索。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“We can’t actually see them because they don’t throw back light.”可知，我们看不
见黑洞。故选D。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“A black hole forms when a star dies.”可知，本段描述的是黑洞形成的过程。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“By studying how the stars move, scientists can find out if they are flying around a
black hole.”可知，通过研究恒星如何运动，科学家们能够发现恒星是否在黑洞周围飞行，由此可以推断，
恒星的运动轨迹帮助科学家找到黑洞。故选A。
D
Do you like history? Some students do not like it. They think history is about meaningless dates, events and
names which are not related to (与……有关) their everyday lives.
There is a different way of looking at history. The Historical Society of Chicago, for example, runs a lot of
interesting projects. One is the Teen Council’s community-based oral history project. The Teen Council was made
up of 15 teenagers from all over the Chicago area. The members of the Teen Council were interested in finding out
what teenagers were like and how their lives changed during the 20th century. They took filed trips around the city
and interviewed (采访) all kinds of people.
After doing a lot of interviews with people, the members realized that behind the ordinary faces of common
people are often amazing stories of their lives that form “history”. They also came to understand that teenagers at
different periods in history have always used music, fashion, dance and language to express themselves, just like
teenagers today.
The Teen Council’s work was made into an exhibition (展览) at the Chicago City Museum and it can be seen
at their website. In the website, you can read the self-introduction pages of the Council members. Also on their web
page, the Council members describe the interviewees who impressed them. For example, Claire describes how she
felt moved when she interviewed Sammy Skobel, who was blind and had to face a lot of problems in his high
school and in looking for jobs. The Teen Council wrote summaries of their findings and categorized them into
work, school, home and play. They used their strengths and worked together to make their project successful.
Are you interested in trying a similar oral history project and finding out how the people in your community
spent their teenage days? The website explains how you can plan and set up an interview, and how you can write
down interviews and write reports. It also includes an interview with a famous Chicago-born TV presenter as an
example of how interviews can help us experience history through the stories of eyewitnesses (见证人).
History is not something that has nothing to do with you. In fact, your grandparents made history, your parents
made history and you are creating history right now.
26. What can we learn about the Teen Council’s oral history project?
A. Their interviews help us experience history through stories.
B. They found teenagers at different periods like the same things.C. They traveled around the country and interviewed different people.
D. Their exhibition explains how we can plan and set up an interview.
27. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________.
A. there is only one right way of looking at the history
B. history has nothing much to do with our everyday lives
C. we are related to and creating our own history right now
D. the amazing stories behind famous people form our history
28. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Project for Meaning. B. An Exhibition on the Go.
C. Education for Success. D. History in the Making.
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过介绍青少年委员会的社区口述历史项目，来告诉我们历史是怎样产
生的，我们正在创造历史。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据“After doing a lot of interviews with people, the members realized that behind the ordinary
faces of common people are often amazing stories of their lives that form ‘history’.”可知，在对普通人进行了大
量的采访后，成员们意识到，在普通人平凡的面孔背后，往往是他们生活中的精彩故事，这些故事形成了
“历史”，因此可以推断他们的采访帮助我们通过故事体验历史，故选A。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据段落“In fact, your grandparents made history, your parents made history and you are creating
history right now.”可知，你的祖父母创造了历史，你的父母创造了历史，而你现在正在创造历史，因此可
以推断我们现在与自己的历史有关，也在创造自己的历史。故选C。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“In fact, your grandparents made history, your parents made history and you are creating
history right now.”并结合文章内容可知，文章主要通过介绍青少年委员会的社区口述历史项目，来告诉我
们历史是怎样产生的，我们正在创造历史。故选D。
VI.阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 6 分, 每小题 2 分)
On winter nights, the wind usually blows strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us think
about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have
no money to buy food.
A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to do something about this. Every night, he puts on aSpiderman suit(套装) and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that these people won’t go hungry.
The man refuses to make his name public.
The local people call him “the Birmingham Spiderman”. The young man hopes his action will show others
that everybody deserves(应得) a helping hand.
The 25-year-old man started his night activities in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys some sandwiches. Then, he
finds a quiet place and puts on his suit. After that, the “Spiderman” starts handing his food out to people in need.
The man said, “I wear the Spiderman suit in order to get attention.” Without the suit, few people took a second
look at him when he was handing out food. When people see the “Spiderman”, however, they come over and ask
what he is doing.
“The Birmingham Spiderman” has already got lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away
money to him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he encourages people to go out and help
people in need on their own. He said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nights won’t be so cold
any longer.”
29. How does the young man in Birmingham England help the homeless people?

【29题详解】
根据第二段的“Every night, he puts on a Spiderman suit(套装) and gives food to the homeless he meets. ”可知，
每天晚上他会穿上蜘蛛侠套装然后把食物分给他遇到的无家可归的人们。故填Every night, he puts on a
Spiderman suit and gives food to the homeless he meets.
【30题详解】
根据第三段的“The young man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves(应得) a helping
hand.”可知，这年轻人希望他的行为能够让其他人看到每个人都应该受到别人的帮助。故填The youngman hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves a helping hand.
【31题详解】
根据最后一段“Instead, he encourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. ”可知，年轻人
反而是鼓励人们自己走出去帮助有需要的人，才不接受别人的捐助。因此是希望别人能够自己走出去帮助
别人。故填Because he wants people to go out and help people in need on their own.

We often find ourselves in an endless thought loop (圈). And every so often, we try to stop this endless flow of
thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop thinking. But do we or can we ever really stop thinking?
It depends on your definition (定义) of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a researcher at MIT, the US.
We basically go through each day in one of the two states — we either realize that we’re thinking or we don’t. Our
brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.
“The brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actually in the background without us noticing
them and there’s not really a way to turn these things off,” Halassa said.
You can compare this to how a computer works. When you’re not using your computer while it’s turned on, it
is still running operations “in the background”. Your computer, much like your brain, is always “thinking”, even if
you’re not actively using it.“If you see a familiar face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able to come up with how
you know them right away,” Halassa said. “But maybe hours later, you’ll suddenly remember. That’s a result of
your brain thinking in the background.”
We even make decisions without realizing them. For example, some of this background “thinking” results in
what we call “gut feeling” (直觉). During our brain’s decision-making process, sometimes we create a story to
explain the decision — sometimes it’s accurate; sometimes it’s not.
Even sitting here reading this, thinking about “thinking” is sending messages across a chain of neutrons (神经
元) in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from “thinking”, the brain won’t sign off. It will
continue to have thoughts — we just won’t realize them.

A. can think about a problem very clearly B. keep thinking about one thing after another
