Generations of creators have improved our lives with everything that touches off our imagination. Here are
some of the brilliant inventors.
Ellen Swallow Richards (1842 — 1911)
After earning a bachelor’s degree from Vassar College in 1870, Richards was accepted as a “special student”at
all-male MIT, becoming the first woman in the United States to attend a science school. She conducted a huge
survey of water quality in Massachusetts, an effort that led to the first state water-quality standards in US.
Gregor Mendel (1822 — 1884)
In the mid-1800s, he experimented with pea plants to determine how physical features pass from one
generation to the next. The experiments established the basic rules needed to cross-breed (杂交繁殖) plants to
create a new variety with desired characteristics.
Ray Kroc (1902 — 1984)As the founder of McDonald’s restaurants, Kroc changed the way Americans eat. In 1954, Kroc was selling
industrial mixers and visited the California restaurant of two of his best customers, Maurice and Richard
McDonald. Kroc was impressed by the methods the brothers used to make their hamburgers, cheeseburgers, French
fries, and milkshakes.
Kroc, an Illinois native, talked the McDonalds into allowing him to create a group of drive-in hamburger
restaurants using their methods and name. The first of his restaurants opened in Des Plaines, Illinois, on April 15,
1955.
Jane Jacobs (1916 — 2006)
Jacobs was not a formally trained urban planner and didn’t have a college degree, but her intelligent views on
community planning changed the way Americans thought about cities. In her 1961 book, Death and Life of Great
American Cities, Jacobs advocated human-friendly neighborhoods featuring short city blocks and mixed-use
buildings that encouraged resident interaction. She also strongly opposed high-rise developments and expressways
that cut through neighborhoods.

A famous company’s leader believes there’s only one way to know if you truly understand a subject: Can you
explain it to a child? But the man with lifelong love of math recently found it didn’t always go well when he tried
explaining mathematical concepts(概念)to his then-school-aged children.
He thinks that learning with kids to see what’s puzzling to them and what’s easy for them are the final test of
whether you know a topic—whether you can explain it.
Teachers often ask students to give a statement on a subject to show that they understand it. Studies show thatpeople are more likely to remember and understand concepts they’ve learned after explaining them to someone else
or even to themselves.That means you can testyour own knowledge in a subject simply by trying to teach it to a
friend,to see both how much information you’ve kept and how well you actually understand its concepts. If they
successfully learn from you, it’s a good sign that you’re on the right track.
The leader, who studied math and computer science at university, noted that while hewas personally good at
math as a high school student, he had trouble passing that enthusiasm(热情)to his three kids.
He loves doing math, but in the past his younger daughter would always say that he made it so complicated
(复杂的) and he didn’t need to explain this to her. Because she just wanted to know the answer.
Today, his three children are all in their 20s.While they may not have enjoyed the math lessons, he says that
one of his favorite things is teaching calculus(微积分)to the kids.There are a few very difficult concepts in
calculus.He must explain why calculus is so important and why calculus has those funny symbols. It’s crazy and it’s
probably the thing he enjoys the most.
4．What happened to the leader recently?
A．He explained Chinese well.
B．He developed his lifelong love of math.
C．He met a challenge in playing with his kids.
D．He had trouble explaining mathematical concepts to his kids.
5．What does the author encourage people to do in paragraph 3?
A．Communicate with others actively.
B．Build relationship with others.
C．Manage to describe themselves.
D．Know about their own learning by teaching others.
6．What did the leader’s younger daughter care about?
A．Describing an example. B．Learning with her father.
C．Getting the final answer. D．Keeping enthusiasm high.
7．What does the leader think of his teaching calculus to his children?
A．It brings him happiness. B．It helps his kids grow.
C．It gives him a lesson. D．It improves his maths.

When I was a girl of eight, living in a town, I used to work for Mrs. White, an elderly lady. She paid me very
little for my work, because she didn’t have much money. She did, however, promise to give me a Christmaspresent. The girls I played with had baseball gloves, bicycles and ice skates, and I was so eager to acquire any one
of these. On Christmas morning, Mrs. White gave me a little package which could hardly hold anything. I was
painfully disappointed but she told me it was a kind of magic. My disappointment turned into curiosity.
With great excitement I opened the package, only to find a pile of ten sheets of black paper inside, each
labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. I didn’t know what it was. “Is it magic?” I asked. My
Aunt Karen, who was a school teacher, answered, “It really is!” She took two pieces of white paper and placed
between them one of the black sheets from the box. Then, with a hard pencil, she wrote my name on the upper
sheet. Removing it and the Carbon Paper Regal Premium, she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in
no way touched. There was my name!
I was enthralled. I wrote and wrote, using up whole tablets until the last piece of black paper was used up. It
was a game I didn’t want to end. I was very happy with my special gift. I can honestly say that, in that one moment,
I understood as much about printing, copying words and the mystery of spreading ideas as I have learned in the
remaining half-century of my life.
I hope that this year some boys and girls will receive, from thoughtful adults who really love them, gifts that
will shock them. It is such gifts and such experiences — usually costing little or nothing — that transform a life and
lend it a motivation that may continue for decades.
8．Why did Mrs. White promise to give the girl a Christmas present?
A．She wanted to meet the child’s wish. B．She rewarded the girl for her good work.
C．She gave gifts to every child in the town. D．She wanted to make up for the low salary.
9．What do we know about Carbon Paper Regal Premium?
A．It is used in school teaching. B．It is made by special magicians.
C．It usually consists of colorful paper. D．It can copy something written on paper.
10．What does the underlined sentence “I was enthralled.” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．I was addicted to Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
B．I was curious about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
C．I was confused about Carbon Paper Regal Premium.
D．I was shocked there was a name on the second sheet.
11．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A．Children should work for others to get a gift. B．A gift with long-term effects is a better choice.
C．Children need to receive a gift that they want. D．Carbon Paper Regal Premium is a perfect gift.D
Recently, I accidentally found a set of Hanfu l only wore once from the bottom of the cupboard. I remember
buying them simply to match the ancient-style hair accessories (配饰) a friend gave me. It occurred to me that 1
had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when you get an item one day, you will prepare more things to match it. Weeks
ago, I was in the company of friends engaged in shopping. One said that she wanted to buy a good writing pen to
match the delicate notebook that her sister gave her, so that she would fall in love with taking notes on reading, and
thus love reading, not just reading. I joked that she must have fallen for the “birdcage effect”. But the friend said
with a smile: “Why not use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”
For the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). However, this can’t help but
remind me of middle school, and I seem to have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bookstore one day, I
purchased a magazine and saw the call for contributions published in the magazine, so I started writing with eager
hands, and then I fell in love with writing.
After shopping with my friends that time, I began to proceed to use the “birdcage effect”. I bought a small
fresh tablecloth to decorate my desk, and a beautiful notebook to record my inspiration. When everything was
ready, I started writing again.
But how can we get rid of the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the
opposite way? Various “birdcages” unavoidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is not in line with
the actual situation, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn to stop losses in time and maintain a heart of
abandonment and separation. If it is a “positive birdcage” that motivates us to develop upward, we can clarify our
goals, shop or decorate appropriately, and motivate ourselves to move towards our goals. At this time, you will find
that the “birdcage effect” is actually not so terrible!
12．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The application of the “birdcage effect” in life.
B．The necessity of using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C．The turning point of the author’s idea on the “birdcage effect”.
D．The author’s conflict with her friend over the “birdcage effect”.
13．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning her middle school experience?
A．To recall her delightful days at school.
B．To explain the reason for her love with writing.C．To confirm the positive of the “birdcage effect”.
D．To prove her knowledge of the “birdcage effect”.
14．How can we make use of the “birdcage effect” positively?
A．By realizing this effect has two sides.
B．By promoting our personal consumption.
C．By recognizing this effect is not so terrible.
D．By guiding our acts to go with reasonable goals.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Getting Rid of the Birdcage Effect Confidently
B．Motivating Ourselves to Move Towards Our Goals
C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence on Consumer Behavior
D．The Birdcage Effect: How to Use It to Your Advantage
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Life is filled with many victories and downfalls. What matters is how you manage with each situation. May it
be your love life or a serious life struggle, you must learn to move on. Here’s how you can create a new chapter in
your life.
16
There is one common mistake that many of us make when dealing with a situation. We may try to go through
it on our own. Landing in a sticky place is extremely worrying. To get out of this situation, you must ask others for
help. When we talk about others, I refer to the people who you are close with. 17 . Humans are social
beings and we have to interact with each other. Make sure that the interaction is actually beneficial in some way.
Let Go Of Your Past
To move on from every struggle and heartbreak, you must let go of the past, guilt, and anger. 18 .
You may feel like justifying them but they are only going to use up your energy in the long run, so you have to
avoid them. Forgive the people that have hurt you and start venturing towards the path of enlightenment.
Forgive Yourself And Begin Anew
19 . We must forgive ourselves so that we can easily begin the next chapter. We did our best in that
time; it was certainly the right thing to do but it didn’t work out and that wasn’t your fault. Talk to yourself like a
gentle teacher. Everyone makes mistakes, and it is what makes us humans. 20 .
Picture your goals in your mind and make sensible steps towards them with each passing day. Let nothing
stand in your way.A．Learn From Others
B．Avoid Making Mistakes
C．These could be your family and close friends
D．Positive thoughts help you make a new beginning easily
E．A warm and encouraging tone will help you out very much
F．It is easy to forgive others but very hard to forgive ourselves
