Nancy Meherne lives a simple life by the sea, gardening and riding the soft waves at
Scarborough Beach just a couple of blocks from her house. The 92-year-old's board made
in the 1970s is a little old, but it's easy to carry and suits her just fine. Often wearing just
a swimsuit, despite summer water temperatures ranging from 14℃ to 18C, the grandmother
of seven walks into the waist-deep water, waits for the perfect wave and jumps on.
Born in Wellington in 1929, Meherne says her life has been full, with “never a dull
moment”. In her early 20s, after training and working as a schoolteacher, she left New
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Zealand by ship to study and work in England and other countries in Europe, spending her
weekends and holidays exploring the regions.
Her travels also took her to India, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon and Pakistan, where
she taught at a school for three months. After returning to New Zealand, Meherne raised
three children with her husband, Doug, while teaching in primary schools and tutoring at a
music school. Her teaching philosophy was similar to her life philosophy: “You've got to
have fun. ”
She remembers seeing the ocean for the first time and being shocked at its scale. “I
just thought water came in small quantities. ” A keen swimmer and surf life saver in her
youth, Meherne says she didn't pick up surfing until her late 30s or early 40s when she
was living in Summer and started borrowing her son's board. “I never did try and stand
up, but I loved it. I'd go wherever I could. ”
Meherne will be 93 in August, 2022 and says she will keep surfing as long as she is
able to “do a little jump” to get on the waves. Her husband Doug says: “She has defi-
nitely kept the bar pretty high there. She has aged but she hasn't got old. ”
24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Meherne surfs near her home.
B. Meherne started surfing in the 1970s.
C. Meherne's worn board is too old to be used.
D. Meherne can't bear the water temperatures.
25. Which of the following words can best describe Meherne's early life?
A. Busy and modest.
B. Aimless and relaxing.
C. Full and adventurous.
D. Hard and challenging.
26. What does Doug mean by saying the words at the end of the passage?
A. Meherne keeps practicing to reach her limit.
B. Meherne has set a high standard for others.
C. Meherne is no longer fit for surfing due to age.
D. Meherne is still quite energetic despite old age.
27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. People's comments on an unusual surfer.
B. A woman who has stuck to surfing for decades.
C. The travelling experience of a remarkable surfer.
D. The sport which attracts people of different ages-surfing.
C
Children begin influencing us even before they are born: We plan for their arrival and
adjust our lives to welcome them. As babies, they direct our sleep and, as a side effect,
our moods. We know that parents of crying babies are more stressed, sleep less and may
even think they are parenting badly. In a vicious cycle, stress and lack of sleep can then
lead to an increased risk of parental anxiety.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司But there’s more. Many studies show that a child’s innate（天生的）personality shapes
how we parent them. It means how we parent depends on our children's character. One
child may be naturally outgoing and therefore enjoy a constant stream of playmates. An-
other might like play by himself, meaning we are quieter around them. One child might love
surprises, while another may find them stressful and prefer order and routine.
As children get older, their influence on us becomes more obvious. In one 2016 study,
psychologist Leon Kuczynski and colleagues asked parents from 30 families to talk about
any recent events where their children had some influence in their lives. He found a wide
range of responses from comments on a parent's appearance, their politeness, their health
and driving abilities. They even changed their recycling habits. One parent of a 10-year-old
says: “Maybe we didn't believe in being environmentally friendly before he drew our at-
tention to it. ”
The study, explains Kuczynski, shows that while our actions affect the child, the
child's actions affect you. By being in a close relationship, you're likely to accept this
child's influence". It happens for good reason too-parents wanting to maintain a close rela-
tionship with their children, to improve closeness and respect. Finally, parents and children
are learning from each other. Accepting this and responding to their needs make life easier.
28. What does the underlined word “vicious” in the first paragraph?
A. Calm. B. Demanding. C. Successful. D. Awful.
29. What do we learn about parenting according to many studies?
A. Parents should stay quiet around their children.
B. Parents ought to be based on children's characters.
C. Parenting has nothing to do with children's personality.
D. Parents' ways of parenting determine children's development.
30. Parents are willingly influenced by their children because they want to
A. maintain good relationships with their children
B. show their deep affection towards their children
C. be treated with respect by their naughty children
D. establish authority in relationship with their children
31. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Business. B. Politics. C. Life. D. Entertainment.
D
Despite being there for your safety, many people still ignore the red man at the traffic
lights and cross early, running the risk of a deadly accident. Now Smart, a car maker, has
come up with a smart idea for an experiment to see if safety could be improved at traffic
lights by encouraging pedestrians（行人） to wait for the green man with a “Dancing
Traffic Light”.
The Dancing Traffic Light was designed to draw the attention of people who were
standing waiting to cross the road in Portugal. It shows a dancing red figure, as opposed
to the static（静态的） figure that is normally shown. The figure is a low-resolution（低分
辨率的） representation of someone who is in a room nearby, dancing.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Those who want to dance can go into the room and then select music of their choice.
When the traffic light turns red, the music plays and the individual can then start to dance.
A video is from the person dancing in real time to the traffic light and the dancing red
figure can keep pedestrians amused while they wait.
Apart from providing entertainment for pedestrians as they wait to cross the road, there
is also the “gaming” side to the Dancing Traffic Light as anyone can be the dancing
figure and so he or she can contribute to the project.
This isn't the first time that entertainment has been used for positive social outcomes.
The Volkswagen Fun Theory campaign involved a Piano Staircase which encouraged people
to walk up the stairs instead of using an elevator and the Bottle Bank Arcade that was
made to encourage people to recycle.
Smart said that 81% more people stopped at the red light to watch it dance while
they waited for the green light to appear.
32. Why did Smart design the Dancing Traffic Light?
A. To draw the attention of people.
B. To help reduce traffic accidents.
C. To provide entertainment for pedestrians.
D. To make traffic lights more interesting.
33. What is the idea behind the Dancing Traffic Light?
A. A real person dances beside the traffic light.
B. A pedestrian performs a dance while waiting.
C. A figure dances in real time to red traffic lights.
D. An individual dances to various music in a room.
34. What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 5?
A. The good results of safety product.
B. The needs for more such campaigns.
C. The influence of the Dancing Traffic Lights.
D. The use of entertainment in some social activities.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A Dancing Traffic Light-A Guardian of Life
B. Road Safety-An Essential Talk
C. A Campaign-A Solution from the Air
D. Smart-A Pioneer in Traffic Light Research

Ella's First Fashion Creation
Ella was wearing a new dress and she felt like a famous model. Even better, it was a
dress she made! Her very first piece of fashion!
“What do you think?” she asked her parents. They all gathered at the kitchen table
for breakfast. “It's very pretty. I can't believe you designed and sewed that all by your-
self!” Mom said. “I'm so proud of you! How long did that take?” Dad asked. Ella pulled
out her chair and sat down. “Two weeks! But I think I could make the next one better. I
had a few problems. ”
Ella smiled. She had so many problems when making the dress, but it was all worth
it. It was going to be a great day.
The kids at school weren't quite as excited about her dress as she thought they would
be, but she did get some nice comments from some of the girls, so she was happy about
that. The day went by quickly, and before she knew it, she was outside the classroom for
the last break of the day. “What a perfect day!” she thought to herself as she swung on
the swing.
The school bell rang and the break was over. When the swing was close to stopping,
Ella jumped off. When she landed, she heard a tearing sound. She moved her hand to the
back of her dress. It was ripped all the way down the back! Her very first fashion creation
fell apart! Ella was so embarrassed.
Ella spotted her teacher, Miss Miller, near the door. Ella took one hand from her dress
and waved to Miss Miller to come to her. Miss Mliller came up and looked at the back of
Ella's dress. “Oh no! It is such a beautiful dress!” “I made it myself, ” Ella said.
“You must be very proud! You did a great job!” “Not really. Or it wouldn't have
ripped. ”“Well, that happens sometimes, even with clothes you buy in the store!”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
学科网（北京）股份有限公司2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Miss Miller took off her sweater and helped Ella to put it on.
“We can't avoid problems, ” said Mom.
