Jayce began notice when he started his schooling that he looked different from his classmates. They had two
arms. He had one.

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket —anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made
fun of in school gym classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15thbirthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a
nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set up his mind on
building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon.
The following year he met John Ridgway and started to work as a teacher at Ridgway’s school of adventure
（冒险）in Scotland, where he learnt about Ridgway’s cold—waterexploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all
he could about North Pole explorers and adventures; he decided that this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long—distance expedition (探险) towards
the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite, ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the
limit, pulling his sled up and over the rocky mountains.
Saunders has become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he’s skied more of the North
Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change.
24. According to Paragraph 2, what changed Saunders?
A. A friend’s words. B. A mountain bike.
C. His 18thbirthday gift. D. His first marathon.
25. What did Saunders do in 2001?
A. He decided to build up his body.
B. He met John Ridgway in Scotland.
C. He worked as a teacher at school.
D. He took an adventure to the North Pole.
26. What does the story mainly tell us about Saunders?
A. He is a success in sports.
B. He is the youngest British skier.
C. He is Ridgway’s best student.
D. He is a good teacher at school.

Pablo Picasso is one of the most important people of 20th century when art and art movements happened.
Before the age of 50, the Spanish born artist had become the most well-known name in modern art, with the most
special style and eye for artistic creation. There had been no other artists like Picasso, who had such an effect on the
art world, or had a large following of fans as he did.
Pablo Picasso was born in Spain in 1881, and was raised there before going on to spend most of his adult lifeworking as an artist in France. During the whole life, he created more than 20, 000 paintings, drawings,
sculptures(雕塑) and other artistic works. He is universally famous as one of the most influential artists of the 20th
century.
,
Picasso was born in Malaga Spain. His father Ruiz was a painter and a professor of art, and felt surprised
by his son’s drawing from an early age. His mother stated at one time that his first words were to ask for a pencil.
At the age of seven, Picasso began receiving formal training from his father. Because of his traditional professional
training, Ruiz believed training made up copying of masterworks and drawing the human form from live models.
In 1891 at ten years old, the family moved to La Coruna where School of Fine Arts paid Ruiz to be a
professor. They spent four years there where Ruiz felt his son surpassed him as an artist at the age of 13 and
decided to give up painting.
When Picasso died at age 91 in April 1973, he had become one of the most famous and successful artists in
history. The most special is that he was able to draw modern creation on the one hand but on the other of continuing
traditional lines. He is also the most fruitful genius(天才) in the history of art. His art went over a 78-year period, in
which he created 13, 500 paintings, 100, 000 prints and many other famous works.
Just like William Shakespeare on literature(文学), Picasso’s effect on art is large. No one has achieved the
same degree of widespread fame(名望) or showed such unbelievable skillfulness as Pablo Picasso has in the art
history. Picasso’s free spirit, his strange style made him a cause for artists to follow.
27. The third paragraph is mainly about _________.
A. Picasso’s fame B. Picasso’s childhood
C. Picasso’s work and arts D. Picasso’s general introduction
28. The word “surpassed” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.
A. went beyond B. kept differences with
C. competed against D. disrespected
29. Why did some artists want to follow Picasso?
A. Because he made a great effect on the art world.
B. Because he had his own free spirit and strange style.
C. Because his father was a painter and a professor of art.
D. Because he was the most fruitful genius in the history of art.
30. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Before 50 Picasso had become the most well-known artist in ancient art.
B. Picasso could draw a creation on one hand and make a sculpture on the other.
C. Some artists practiced painting hard and achieved the same fame as Picasso has.D. Picasso was born in an artistic family and learned drawing from his father firstly.

The view you hold for yourself greatly affects the way you lead your life. It can decide whether you become
the person you want to be and whether you achieve the things you value. How does this happen? How can a simple
belief have the power to change your psychology(心理) and, as a result, your life?
Believing that your qualities are carved(刻) in stone — the fixed mindset — creates a great need to prove
yourself over and over. Some of us are trained in this mindset from an early age. Even as a child, I was focused on
being smart, but the fixed mindset was really stamped in by Mrs. Wilson, my sixth-grade teacher. She believed that
people’s IQ scores told the whole story of who they were. We were seated around the room in IQ order, and only
the highest-IQ students could be trusted to collect homework, or take a note to the principal. She was creating a
mindset in which everyone in the class had one important goal-look smart, don’t look stupid.
I’ve seen so many people with this one important goal of proving themselves — in the classroom, in their
careers, and in their relationships. Every situation calls for a confirmation of their IQ, personality, or character.
Every situation is evaluated(评价): Will I succeed or fail? Will I look smart or stupid? Will I feel like a winner or a
loser?
But doesn’t our society value IQ, personality, and character? Isn’t it normal to want these qualities? Yes, but ...
There’s another mindset, the growth mindset, which is based on the belief that your basic qualities are things
you can develop through your efforts. Although people may differ in every which way — in their inborn talents,
interests, or characters, everyone can change and grow through efforts and experience. Did you know that Darwin
and Tolstoy were considered ordinary children? That the photographer Cindy Sherman, who has been on almost
every list of the most important artists of the twentieth century, failed her first photography course? That Geraldine
Page, one of our greatest actresses, was advised to give it up for lack of talent?
You can see how the belief that valuable qualities can be developed creates a passion(热情) for learning. Why
waste time proving how great you are, when you could be getting better? Why hide weaknesses instead of
overcoming them? And why seek out the tried and true, instead of experiences that will better you? The passion for
improving yourself and sticking to it, even when it’s not going well, is the feature(特征) of the growth mindset.
This is the mindset that allows people to achieve success during some of the most challenging times in their lives.
31. According to Paragraph 5, the example of Darwin and Tolstoy shows that _________
A. success has nothing to do with natural gifts.
.
B. it’s difficult to predict one’s future success
C. achievements can be made through hard work.
.
D. the valuable qualities can encourage people to learn32. The author strongly believes that we should _________
A. carry out an honest evaluation of our qualities.
B. see success as the only way to prove IQ or talent.
.
C. focus on self-development rather than self-proving
D. believe good things will happen during difficult times.
33. The main purpose of the passage is to _________
A. lead people to take the right mindset.
B. advise people to evaluate their mindset.
C. get people to know the influence of mindset.
D. explain the differences between two mindsets.

American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes there are some important
differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different often. Americans don’t say each word separately. They say words
together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of
“What did you say?” However, the British are more careful. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference. Words sometimes have different meanings too. For example, the vocabulary
for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your
friends you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you
might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when
they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook”? But the British often leave out the helping verb. They
say “Have you a storybook?”
Most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages
change in different ways. This is what has happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as
French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.
34. Where do people say words separately, in America or in Britain?
