What can little money do? It’s worth thinking it over.
A few weeks ago, I got $120 from a friend in a Smile Group. He asked me to do good things with the money. Since then I have used the money to help strangers, and raised a lot of smiles.
One day I was in a shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the book shelves(架子)were next to the toy shelf. I noticed that a poorly dressed woman standing behind me. A little girl about 3 years old came over to the toy shelf. At once her attention was caught by a toy dog. She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop owner how much it cost. The answer was $3. Then she said "no". The child said nothing. Maybe "no" was not new for her but she couldn't keep the disappointment away from her face.
I had a total of $5. I put the money in the mother's hand and said, "Buy her a book too.” I didn't wait to see the end. I walked out of the shop.
The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness in the world. Was there any better way to get so much happiness with so little money?

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. ▲ . Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. “Problems and worries are normal in life,” says Laura. “But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don’t talk to someone, we’ll certainly feel worse.”
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents about it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn’t have any money. She just kept thinking. “If I tell my parents, they’ll be angry!” But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. “I will always remember to share my problems in the future!” Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. “It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them.” He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn’t need to be an expert (专家) like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.
In English, we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half. So you’re halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!
48. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One?
A. What can they do about this? B. Where do the problems come from?
C. When did they have these problems? D. Why do they have so many problems?
49. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the story of Laura to ______.
A. answer a question B. give an example
C. introduce his friend D. share his experience
50. According to the passage Robert Hunt might be ______.
A. Laura’s teacher B. the writer of the passage
C. a person with a problem D. an expert on students’ problems
(C)
Different colours can affect us in many different ways, according to Allen. In her new series "Colour me Healthy", Allen looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our feelings and even influence how healthy we are.
"Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?" says Allen. "Our toothpaste(牙膏) is always white or blue or maybe red. It's never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products to be a bit disgusting. It's the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don't respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy."
During this four-part series, Allen studies eight different colours, two colors in each programme. She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American "Colour Doctor" who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it's an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Allen makes a special effort to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it's up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.
51. According to Allen in Paragraph 2, why is a knowledge of colour important?
A. It can help you choose the best products. B. It can help you save a lot of money.
C. It can help cure serious diseases. D. It can help you sell products.
52. The underlined word "disgusting" probably means_______.
A. pleasant B. popular C. unpleasant D. unpopular
53. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Enjoy it, but don't believe everything.
B. Another great show from Allen!
C. Don't miss this if you work in Business!
D. Watch this programme! It will make you healthy!
(D)
Tatyana McFadden was born in 1989 in Russia, with an illness that caused her not to be able to move half of her body. She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.
When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana’s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one of the able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,” Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, ‘That’s my mother,’ which she had never done before.”
Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girl back to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.
Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.
As the team’s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.
Tatyana says, “I don’t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”
54. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.
A. lived in a poor village B. couldn’t read any books
C. walked on her hands and arms D. couldn’t communicate with others
55. Why did Deborah decide to adopt Tatyana?
A. Because of Tatyana’s story. B. Because she was interested in Tatyana.
C. Because of other’s suggestion. D. Because Tatyana did well in almost anything.
56. What did Tatyana do after she was adopted?
A. She took up different sports.
B. She bought herself the first wheelchair.
C. She went to see a doctor from time to time.
D. She trained hard to be a member of the school team.
57. From the passage, we can know Tatyana is a(n) ____________ girl.
A. honest B. kind-hearted C. understanding D. strong-minded

七、阅读填空 (本大题共5分，每格1分)
Why you should think big
If you have something valuable in mind, something to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it?
The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to get it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts small
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things.
Think bigger by learning from others
To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Learn from people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows.
Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾)
There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big
When something is probably a real good thing to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.
Think Big
What thinking big means If you have something valuable in mind, you should make full use of it.
You should try to get it with your 1 .
How to train yourself to think big Remember that every big thing starts from a 2 one.
It is not 3 where you are at present.
See yourself as a small part of a greater whole.
You should gather 4 people around you to make sure of the growing of your dream because everyone has shortcomings(缺点).
If you don’t try, you will never know how far your idea could go.
Imagine how much regret you will have if you give up your big plans.
It is a human duty to think big and it is 5 trying.

To become thinner, Mr Green decided to stop driving his car to work, and he rode a bike instead. Sometimes when all the cars stopped at a red light, he went past them to the front, because his bike was small. He was pleased with this.
Sometimes when the roads were not wide enough for cars, he could still go easily. He liked to get away from the noises of the busy streets.
Yesterday, as he stopped at a red light, a man came up behind him on another bike. He looked at Mr Green and asked him, “Did the police take your driving license away, too?”

If more people choose to ride bikes, there will be fewer cars and the streets won't be as crowded as they are now. Thirdly, we can ride bikes to keep fit. The most important thing is that riding bikes can help protect the environment because it won’t bring pollution to our environment.
I hope more and more people can ride bikes and live a low-carbon life.

A city without cars would be very strange , right ? But Venice is such a city .
Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't that difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences . One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge , and there’s nothing special . But when they come back to the bridge an hour later , it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes .
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化). Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to build the MOST project , which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water . Anyway , this project is helping solve the problem .
34. According to the passage , Venice is __________ of Italy .
A. in the northeast B. in the west C. in the southwest D. in the south
35. __________ have always been the best way to go here and there in the city .
A. Taxis and cars B. The waterways C. 400 bridges D. Boats and rain shoes
36. Venice has gone down by 23 centimeters because __________ .
A. people used too much underground water
B. it got higher little by little
C. the temperature has fallen over the years
D. more than half of the city is underwater
37. The passage is mainly about __________ of Venice .
A. the waterways and bridges B. the Most project and problems
C. the specials and problems D. the history and beautiful places
C
Have you heard about the periodic table (元素周期表) lately? Well, there’s some big news about this special table, but first, remember that the periodic table is used for all the elements(元素), or things that make up our world.
Elements are all around us. Iron is one of the most common elements found on the earth. You probably know the element oxygen (氧), which is the element that we breathe in all the time. And elements can combine (结合) to make new things like H2O. This is hydrogen (氢) and oxygen put together, also known as water! Learning about these things helps us better understand the world we live in.
But have you ever noticed something missing in the periodic table? There were already 114 elements. But the seventh row of the table was not finished, until now!
In December, scientists from the IUPAC(国际纯粹与应用化学联合会) found the four elements that were missing. They are elements 113, 115, 117 and 118.
“To scientists, this is of greater value than an Olympic gold medal,” Ryoji Noyori, a Nobel honored chemist said.
The new elements are heavy metals and were made in lab. These kinds of elements can’t be found in nature. Scientists are still looking for ways to use these elements, and other elements in the eighth row in our daily lives.
Scientists have been working on this for 10 years, but the work is not done. Now they will prepare to look for “element 119 and beyond”. But for now, be mindful (留心的) when you read your science books because the periodic table might be outdated (过时的).
38. In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly talks about_________.
A. examples of some common elements B. the importance of oxygen
C. how elements make new things D. how to learn about elements
39. The newly found elements are ________.
A. elements 113, 114, 115, 116 B. elements 113, 114, 117, 118
C. elements 113, 115, 117, 118 D. elements 113, 115, 117, 119
40. The underlined word “beyond” means ________ in the last paragraph.
A.更前面 B.更后面 C.更上面 D.更里面
41. Which of the following about the new elements is NOT true?
A. They are heavy metals. B. They were made in labs.
C. They can’t be found in nature. D. They are widely used in our daily lives.
D
Yi Xiaojing, 21, a student at Guangdong University, has a big family – her two parents, a younger brother and two younger sisters. Lin took her role as the “big sister” seriously. When her first sister was born, Yi took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. “I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent’s job, but I felt proud of myself,” she said.
Not all Yi’s classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy (政策), a law that was carried out in China about forty years ago. But the situation is about to change. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.
The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and labor shortages because of the low birth rate (比率).
The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found that growing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one’s mental health.
“Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that parents don’t.” Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.
Liu Hao, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with parents. “If necessary, I would always have her back,” said Liu. “The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.”
But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other, said Laura.
42. There are ________ children in Yi Xiaojing’s family.
A. three B. four C. five D. six
43. The one-child policy caused some problems except ________.
A. the aging population B. labor shortages
C. the population growth D. the low birth ratewww.21-cn-jy.com
44. We can infer from the article that ________.
A.Yi xiaojing doesn’t like her sister B. Liu Hao has a 17-year-old sister
C. Laura is against the two-child policy D. The one-child policy is out of date now
45. The best title for this article should be ________.
A. Brothers and sisters are good for us. B. The family planning policy is bad.
C. The two-child policy helps a lot. D. A new policy was made.

Some students are talking about the changes in their own schools on the Internet.
Sunshine 1998
I’m in Grade 2. Our school built a new classroom building recently. We used to have a day off when students from Grade 1 or Grade 3 had monthly exams, because they needed to use our classrooms to take the exams. However, now they can use the new classroom building instead, so we don’t need to take a day off and we will have more days to study.
Liuxuan
We used to go out of the school to buy something to eat during class breaks, but now we are told not to go out. It is said that the rule was made to protect students from eating unhealthy food outside. Instead, we have a new shop in our restaurant. We can buy food there after class.
Superman001
We used to have English reading every morning on weekdays, so we had to get to school half an hour early every day. But now the school has introduced an English learning app that can be used on our phones or computers. Now we can practice speaking and listening anytime and anywhere.
Nana
In the past, our PE classes were replaced by Chinese classes or maths classes on rainy days because we couldn’t go outside. Now I’m very happy, because a gym(体育馆) is being built and we will have PE classes in the gym on rainy days next year!

The European Union (EU) is like a wall. Some Eastern European countries like Albania want to get inside, while the UK is thinking about getting out.
On June 23 this year, people from the UK will vote (投票) and decide if the country will stay in the EU, the UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on Feb 19.
The EU is an organization in which its 28 member countries work together. But the UK has always kept away from getting too deeply into it. Now, 19 out of the 28 members use the same money: the euro (欧元), but the UK is not one of them. Also, some EU countries set up the Schengen(申根) area, so people in it can move freely without a visa (签证), just as we do between Chinese provinces. However, the UK chose not to join.
In recent years, the EU seems to be even less attractive to many British people. More and more foreign workers from other countries, especially those in Eastern Europe, go to Britain. And many British believe that it put a burden on the UK’s welfare (福利), reported the Daily Mail. Besides this, the country has always given money to the EU but gets less in return, according to The New York Times.
However, there are also people who want the UK to stay in the EU. They say it’s easier for the UK to sell things to other EU countries. The EU as a whole has a big say on the international stage, and leaving the EU would hurt the UK’s influence on the world. Leaders of other EU countries like Angela Merkel of Germany and Francois Hollande of France hope to keep the UK in the EU, too.
“We need to think carefully about what is best for Britain, what is best for our future,” said Cameron. And as each side has its own ideas, we may not know the result until June.
58. ___________ will decide if the UK will stay in the EU.
A. People all over the world. B. People in the EU
C. People from the UK D. The UK Prime Minister
59. ____________ members of EU don’t use euro.
A. 1 B. 19 C. 28 D. 9
60. The underlined word “burden” in paragraph 4 means ____________ in Chinese.
A. 财富 B. 负担 C. 利益 D. 增长
61. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. The EU is a country which has 28 provinces.
B. People from Schengen area can move freely to the UK without a visa.
C. Everybody in the UK wants to get out of the EU.
D. Leaders from Germany and France want the UK to stay in the EU.
D
Many of us now live in gated communities (封闭式社区). Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates. But are you hoping for a more open and convenient environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friends.
Turning gated communities into blocks (街区)is one way to achieve this, according to the Chinese government. On Feb 21, China said that gated communities should be open to the public.
Open communities have already become popular in many cities of other countries, like Paris, France, and New York City, US. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone.
“Humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this,” said Wang Weiqiang, an expert (专家) from Tongji University.
Another good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities, according to Professor Li Hongchang from Beijing Jiaotong University. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities.
However, not everyone likes the idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have spent money on the roads inside the communities, and they worry about safety problems when communities are open.
The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out step by step and more detailed plans would come out in the future. Also, they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu, Sichuan, and so far it has been working well.
62. ___________ can go freely inside gated communities now.
A. Everybody B. Rich people
C. People who have cars D. Only people who live there
63. A good city needs to offer people enough space because ______________.
A. humans likes to live together B. humans don’t want to stay in their own houses
C. humans need communication and sharing D. humans worry about safety problems
64. The aim (目的) of turning gated communities into blocks is _______________.
A. to let Chinese people have more houses to live in
B. to let everyone enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas and more cafes and bookstores to meet friends
C. to let people drive cars more easily on the road
D. to make the city a safer place
65. The passage is mainly talking about ________________.
A. The advantages of open communities
B. Chinese people want to have a better life
C. The Chinese government is planning to turn gated communities into blocks
D. Blocks can bring better traffic

Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。(每小题2分，共8分)
We seldom describe a person with the words “pretty” and “masculine (有男子气概的)” at the same time. But South Korean actor Song Joong-ki is an exception.
Song, 30, recently started playing an army captain in the South Korean TV drama Descendants of the Sun. With Song’s performance, the soldier is sweet, strong and smart. No wonder the actor quickly became the favorite for girls around Asia in only a few weeks.
But in some ways, the role is just mirroring a side of Song that we’ve never seen. Since he started his acting career in 2008, Song has been playing a series of eye-candy (养眼的) roles because of his pretty face.
But this may not be fair because he is actually a sporty and sharp person. Song used to be a short track speed skater (短道速滑选手) when he was young. Between first grade and high school, he competed in three national competitions and won medals for his city.
Later, he had to give up the sport because of an injury. Song then started to focus on his studies, earning all A’s in senior high school and attending the famous Sungkyunkwan University.
Descendants of the Sun, in this sense, may simply be a way for Song to show off his inner masculinity.
What’s more, in 2015 Song completed his military duties (兵役), which all South Korean men have to do. This might also help him a lot with his army man role.
“I was already used to the military manner of speech and had a military cut,” he said in a recent interview. But he still spent two months getting in shape before filming started.
71. Is Song Joong-ki not only pretty but also masculine?
______________________________________________________________________________
72. What is the soldier played by Song like in the TV drama Descendants of the Sun?
______________________________________________________________________________
73. When did Song start his acting career?
______________________________________________________________________________
74. According to the passage, why did Song join the army?

Mo Yan, Song Zuying, Jiang Kun…these big names often 80 in newspapers that Wu Tianbao read. But this 12-year-old boy never thought he would talk to these famous people face to face. 81 , it happens.
From March 3 to 7, he interviewed these members and deputies(人大代表) during the two meetings held in Beijing. He was one of the 120 student reporters who got the chance to report on the yearly meetings. Xinhua News Agency chose these students from different places around the country. Just like professional reporters, they reported on the meetings by 82 .
Wu interviewed several members. But among them, he liked Mo Yan who won the Nobel Prize 83 , because Wu himself is very 84 in writing. When he saw Mo coming out of a meeting room, he rushed over quickly and asked for an interview. “He is kind and patient, just like my grandfather,” Wu said. He asked Mo about his thought for canceling(取消) zhongkao and making the school years shorter. “His answers were very nice. I feel like he pays a lot of 85 to education and teenagers,” Wu said.
The interview only lasted for a few minutes, but student reporters prepared a lot before. They learned how to come up with questions and write news stories. They often kept working 86 midnight.
But the student reporters enjoyed it. Zhao Sicheng, 12, from Zhejiang, is one of them. For him, 87 a reporter not only improved his communication skills, but he also learned a lot. “Almost every member’s answers were creative and helped solve some problems,” he said. “For example, I asked the runner Xu Dongxiang how she kept practicing running. She said, ‘Because I love it. Find something you love, and you will find it easy to stick to it.”
