I am sitting at the table in my favorite Boston bookstore-café, laptop open, writing. Ten minutes
ago I ordered coffee. The server—a young, dark-haired woman with a broad smile and glasses—
stopped and quietly said, “I just want to tell you how much your TED talk meant to me, you helped
me find out what I really wanted to do with my life—go to medical school—and then you helped
me do what I needed to do to get there. Thank you.”
Tears in my eyes, I asked, “What’s your name?”
“Fetaine,” she said. Then we talked for the next ten minutes about Fetaine’s challenges in the
past and new-found excitement about her future.
Everyone who communicates with me is special and memorable, but this kind of
communication happens far more often than I’d ever have expected: a stranger warmly greets me,
shares a personal story about how they successfully dealt with difficulties, and then simply thanks
me for my part in it. They are women and men, old and young, poor and wealthy. But something
connects them: all have felt powerless in the face of great pressure and anxiety (焦虑), and all
discovered a quite simple way to free themselves from that feeling of powerlessness.
For most writers, the book comes first, then the responses. For me, it was the other way around.
First, I performed experiments that led to a talk I gave at the TEDGlobal conference in 2012. In that
talk, I discussed some interestingfindings about how we can quickly increase our confidence and
decrease (减轻) our anxiety in challenging situations. I also shared my own troubles and how I
learned to become more confident. Soon after the twenty-one-minute video of the talk was posted
on the Internet, I began hearing from people who had seen it.
Of course, watching my talk didn’t magically give Fetaine the knowledge she needed to do
well on Medical College Admission Test. But it may have helped her get out of the fear that could
have prevented her from expressing the things she knew.
4.What happened in the Boston bookstore-café?
A.The writer waited ten minutes for her coffee.
B.The writer came across a friend of hers.
C.A waitress expressed her thanks to the writer.
D.A waitress encouraged the writer to give a TED talk.
5.What do those people who communicate with the writer have in common?
A.They once faced problems and felt helpless.

6.What may be the theme of the writer’s talk in 2012?
A.How to increase confidence. B.How to perform meaningful experiments.

B.She helped Fetaine with her knowledge.
C.She advised Fetaine to go to medical school.
D.She helped Fetaine to get a good job.

Plastic is low-cost and long-lasting. It is not easily degraded (降解) because natural
degradation processes can’t deal with its chemical components (成分). It takes in other ocean-
present harmful substances. These chemical and dangerous components are gradually got into the
atmosphere with additives such as color, which turns out to be really harmful when the plastic breaks
down.
The design and development of new plastic products was sped up after World War II. Life
without plastic seemed impossible in the modern age. But even though plastic was quite convenient,
the dark side of it was seen as people began to enjoy the throw-away community. Many plastic
products, such as plastic bags, have a lifetime of a few minutes to hours. However, they’ll stay in
the environment for hundreds of years. We are destroying the very world that nurtured us.
Just 9% of plastic has been recycled and 12% burnt after production rose in the 1950s, which
leave s about 79% of the 8.3 billion tons produced sitting in landfills (垃圾填埋场) or damaging
our fields, oceans, and waterways. And each year the plastic ends up as contaminants. So to beat
plastic pollution, we need to work together.
While plastic burning reduces the amount of waste dumped into oceans and lands, harmful
gases are still produced, which also leads to greenhouse gases. However, if we make a firm decision
and use modern waste management methods, we will be able to create a safe and healthy world. It
is high time that we as responsible global citizens, took on the duty of protecting our environment
and made great effort in saving our mother earth, instead of just leaving everything to our
government. So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s make a promise to successfully deal with plastic waste
and protect our world from all possible risks.
8.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.The harm of plastic. B.The convenience of plastic.
C.The protection of plastic. D.The use of plastic.
9.Which word can best describe the writer’s feeling in Paragraph 2?
A.Happy. B.Worried. C.Excited. D.Relaxed.

A. Things that cause pollution. B. Things that produce plastic.
C. Things that cost money. D. Things that help people.
11. From which is the text most probably taken?
A. A short story. B. A speech. C. A newspaper. D. A notice.
D
All languages change over time. New vocabulary is often required for the latest inventions or
ideas. But a language can also change for reasons that are not clear.
Language changes whenever speakers communicate with each other. People from different
places clearly speak differently, but even within the same small community, people speak differently
depending on their age, origin, and social and educational background. When we communicate with
these different speakers, in different situations, we hear new words and expressions, and can make
them a part of our own speech. Even if your family has lived in the same area for generations, you
can probably see a number of differences between the language you use and the way your
grandparents speak. When enough time has passed, the influence of these changes becomes clearer.
During the 18th century, Jonathan Swift, the Irish writer, and many other people felt the English
language was in serious decline (衰落) and that a national organization—like those in France and
Italy—should be created to save the language. Swift once wrote that we should find a way to stop
our language from changing. Even today, we hear people complaining about a lack of “standards
(标准)” in spoken and written English. New words and expressions, or changes in grammar, are
often considered bad.
More experts believe that change in language is unavoidable. Change is a way of keeping a
language alive and useful, and gives speakers different ways of saying things with extremely small
differences of meaning and ways of expressing completely new ideas. The organizations set up in
France and Italy have had little success in reducing the amount of change in French or Italian.
In 1747, Samuel Johnson wrote about his desire to write a dictionary that would fix the
pronunciation of English and keep it pure (纯正的). But when he completed the dictionary ten years
later, he admitted in his introduction that fixing a language was impossible. Like it or not, language
is always changing and English will go on doing so in many creative and — to some people —
annoying ways.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Some people learn to speak better than others.
B. The youth should learn from their grandparents.
C. Language change is greatly influenced by people.
D. Language changes little if people stay in the same place.
13. What does Jonathan Swift think of language change?
A. He thinks it is hopeful. B. He thinks it is unclear.
C. He agrees on the change. D. He doesn’t agree on the change.

A. To create some new words. B. To include some foreign words.
C. To keep English pure from changes. D. To record the changes in English.
15. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Why does language change? B. Written English needs standards.
C. Does language change influence society? D. How to protect the language.

Do you have clothes in your wardrobe (衣柜) that you never wear? Do you keep things in your
cupboards that you never use? Do you have books on your shelves that you never open? And what
about the mess on the floor? ____16____ If the answer to these questions is yes, then you’re not
alone. Most of us have too much stuff.
People with untidy, cluttered (杂乱的) rooms have untidy minds. ____17____ This makes
them unhappy. There is no doubt that too much stuff is bad for us and we have to change.
Now, imagine this bedroom: a white floor, a bed, a wardrobe and a desk and chair. That’s all.

own a lot of possessions (物品) to be happy. ____18____
You are probably asking at this point “Do I have to get rid of all my favourite things?”
____19____ A minimalist room is too extreme for most people, and personal possessions like photos
and books are comforting and help us to feel at home. ____20____ Consider this simple rule: if you
don’t use something for longer than 6 months, get rid of it. You have to regularly tidy and sort out
all the stuff in your room. After decluttering, you’ll have more space in your wardrobe and
cupboards. No more “You must tidy your room!” from your parents! Your room will look more
spacious (宽敞的) and you’ll feel free!

I couldn’t forget the way I was frozen in front of the class today. My teacher, Mr. Liu had
divided the class into groups to do speeches. Today was my turn. However, my hands shook so
badly that I couldn’t read my notes. My voice became softer even to silence. Mr. Liu kindly ended
my part of speech even though I clearly didn’t finish. He also asked me to stay after class for a
moment.
“Betty, I know you are shy, but you worked so hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up
on yourself.” Mr. Liu said, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find

my head down and hoping the school day would end soon.
When I reached home that afternoon, I could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen
windows. Mum was baking(烘焙). She studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong,
Betty?”
Tears shone in my eyes. I told her the whole story. Mum was silent for a moment with her
hands busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything but you
can’t talk to your class?” Mum asked. She set the time right and then said, “Let me show you
something.”
I followed her to the bedroom. There she showed me a book filled with pictures. In it there was
a blue ribbon(丝带) that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young,
standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team,
but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first—not sure of myself at all. I
worked hard, and mostly I faced my tears. You just need to find your courage.”

A Lecture on Campus Safety
Last Saturday, all the high school freshmen attended a lecture on campus safety, which was
held in the school hall at 3:00 pm. The aim of the lecture was to raise the awareness of self protection.
During the lecture, the police showed us some pictures of common accidents in school. Then they
told us some knowledge of protecting ourselves in such situations.
This activity was meaningful and educative. Through it, we learned much about campus safety.
写作第二节 【参考范文】
Hearing Mum’s words, I stared at the valuable blue ribbon, lost in thought. What was it that
made me so afraid? But still no answer came out. Soon the cake was finished. We went back to the
kitchen for the baked cake. Mum cut a slice for the sweet cake and handed it to me, saying, “You
can make it.” I raised the warm cake to my mouth. It was so delicious and fragrant. Suddenly I knew
where I could find my courage. It was from my mum’s love.
The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my speech. Seeing the quiet
classroom, I couldn’t help but feel nervous again, my mind going blind and my voice trembling.
Then I saw the blue ribbon which my mum tied to my wrist. I thought of Mum’s warm cake, her
love and her inspiring experience. Then I took a deep breath and gave my speech with confidence.
This time there was no fear any more but a big success and a round of applause.
