The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the
Field Day in primary school. Small for my age, and more of a book-lover than a
sports-lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various
gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, however, was
different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes
to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home.
He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours
playing catch. When fall came, our backyard football games began with passing
practice.
Once I got to seventh grade and went to middle school, our entire student body
was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed
against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became
president of The Committee of Games, speeding up my competitive fever. I also
played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis,
skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. As I attended college, my
页 第 2 页 共 9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司roommate and I even took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)
exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no
spare money to use to join a gym.
So, though, it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) developed in
adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered necessary even on vacation. I
still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I’m concerned, life is the richest with my
feet in both worlds.

Whenever visiting a museum, in addition to appreciating the wisdom in these
historical books, Song Jing also focuses on how they are bound (装帧) and presented.
This “book doctor” has been working in the restoration (修复) department for ancient
books for eight years.
After finishing studies course at Peking University in 2015, she has been worked in
restoring more than 100 ancient cultural relics. At the moment, Song is working on
restoring a copy of Yongle Dadian, an encyclopedia created in 1408 in the Ming
Dynasty. Accepting the challenge, Song and her colleagues spent six months
researching and deciding on how to repair the books. “Most books from Yongle Dadian
have suffered damage to their original binding,” Song said. “To restore them to their
original form, we need to gather information from various sources,” she explained.
In the past, restorers had to rely on their experience to choose the suitable
materials to use. As technology has improved, they can use a new method through
页 第 3 页 共 9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司microscopes. However, technology can only help so much, as restoration still needs
necessary hand-on skills, including cutting and brushing paper and binding. The
restoration also requires strong control when brushing the paper. “If the pressure is not
controlled well during the brushing process, the paper may tear, but if the touch is too
light, the paper won’t stay,” Song explained. Because of the tough and complex
process, the ancient books restoration technique of the national library was listed as a
national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
“I am glad that I can be of some help in inspiring more young people to find their
lifelong love in the field of cultural heritage preservation,” said Song.
8．What does Song Jing do as a “book doctor”?
A．Repairs old books. B．Writes historical books.
C．Appreciates cultural heritage. D．Collects information about historical
events.
9．What can we learn about Yongle Dadian from paragraph 2?
A．It is not in good shape.
B．It is a music book of Ming Dynasty.
C．Its restoration work has been finished.
D．It takes about six months to repair the books.
10．Which of the following words best describe Song Jing?
A．Patient and outgoing. B．Devoted and skillful.
C．Generous and curious. D．Smart and warm-hearted.
11．What does Song think of her job according to the last paragraph?
A．Hard. B．Boring. C．Well-paid. D．Meaningful.

When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional ways:
reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out
that if you gesture(做 手 势 ) with your arms while studying, you can remember the
vocabulary better, even months later.
As Mathias describes, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90
invented words over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary,
they were shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of
the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture
themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had
learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads
that sent weak distracting signals to their primary motor cortex(运动皮层) — the brain
area that controls voluntary arm movements. Those who performed better on the task
showed a higher level of activity in their motor cortex. The researchers concluded that
the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures.
页 第 4 页 共 9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司The effect did not occur when the subjects were only presented with matching pictures
instead of gestures.
Another research group led by Leipzig had young adults and eight-year-old
children listen to new vocabulary for five days, paired with matching pictures or videos
of gestures. After two months, the two methods were still equally effective. But after six
months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the
children were helped equally by both.
But it is not only the motor cortex itself that promotes learning. The meaning
expressed by the gesture also figures in, “I think we underuse gesture in our
classrooms,” Goldin-Meadow says. “Good teachers and good listeners use it, but not
always in a systematic way. Others don’t necessarily bring it into the class — and it
could be used more often and more effectively.”
12．What do we know according to Brian Mathias’ research?
A．Those only presented with matching pictures performed better.
B．The motor cortex had nothing to do with the vocabulary learning.
C．The research concluded that gestures benefited vocabulary learning.
D．22 German-speaking adults and children were chosen as the test subjects.
13．Why was equipment attached to the subjects’ heads during Mathias’ test?
A．To count words. B．To record emotion.
C．To influence brain activity. D．To give clues to questions.
14．What does Leipzig’s research tell us about language learning?
A．Adults and children are equally good learners.
B．Pictures have little influence on language learning.
C．Pictures are found more helpful than videos for children.
D．Benefits of gestures are more obvious in adults in the long run.
15．What does the author suggest teachers do in the classroom?
A．Make better use of gestures.
B．Teach listening in a systematic way.
C．Avoid traditional teaching approaches.
D．Do some scientific researches on teaching.

Mentally (精神上) strong people are able to deal with and recover from even the
most terrible conditions. To develop your mental strength, here are some suggestions.
Believe in yourself
You’ve made it this far. 16 . Hold on to it even one more moment, and you
页 第 5 页 共 9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司can survive whatever you’re going through. It won’t be easy, so when you feel like you’
re about to fall apart, close your eyes, take a deep breath and remind yourself you can
do it.
Rediscover your interest in life
Emotionally strong people view each day as a gift. They try to structure
themselves so that the gift is taken advantage of fully. 17 — playing with
leaves in the fall, drawing a small animal, or eating a sweet. Find that inner child. Be
that inner child. Your ability to be mentally and emotionally strong depends on it.
18

key values that mean the world to you, and don’t worry about anything else. As Sylvia
Robinson once said, “Some people think it’s holding on that makes one strong —
sometimes it’s letting go.”
Reach out to those who mean the most to you
Spend time with friends and family, along with others who are supportive and
positive. If no one is available, make new friends. And if there are no friends to be
found, help others who are in greater need. 20 .
A．Pick your fights wisely
B．Be thankful for what you have
C．Tell yourself you can make it through just one more day
D．You can find strengths in bettering someone else’s life

wonders of life

half a mile away. I noticed the man was travelling at a speed lower than me. So, I decided

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I woke up with a start and looked at the clock in front of me — 5:00 am. The
whole night I had been dreaming and planning various things I wanted to do. After all,
it was my 16th birthday!
Yesterday, none of my family had shown any sign to indicate that they’ d
remembered the fact that my birthday was only 24 hours away. They might have been
planning a surprise for me!
I raced downstairs. “Well, you’re up early,” my dad said, his eyes fixed upon the
newspaper. My mother, who was cooking breakfast, paid me no attention.
“Have they forgotten about me?” I wondered. “No, they would never do that.”
“Mama, I was wondering if you could cook me some pancakes,” I said in a cheerful
tone. “Jessie, I am in a hurry today. I am afraid I don’t have time to make you
pancakes,” my mother said.
None of them seemed to be aware of my special day. At least for my sake, they
could’ve given it some importance. And none of my brothers seemed to be interested
in my birthday either.
I felt a bit down. For months we had been planning events for my birthday —
shopping, games, decorations and so much more— but now, they all seemed to have
forgotten about my birthday.
页 第 8 页 共 9
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Lunch was boring, with nothing special cooked for my special day. Everyone sat
talking about random (随意的) things, not once mentioning my birthday.
Disappointed, I climbed up the stairs to my room and lay down in bed. Suddenly,
Mom called out to me. I dashed (急奔) towards her, hoping to hear something cheerful.
But my optimism (乐观) disappeared when she said, “Me, your dad and your brothers
are attending a dinner. Since you woke up early, we thought you might need some
sleep. If you feel hungry, there’s food in the fridge. Call if you need help. Bye, and be a
good girl.”
