At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off. But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers：While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards；getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s imp ortant，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.

Did you know it’s possible to swim with whales in the ocean while lying on a hospital
bed? Have you imagined experiencing your 74th birthday as a 20-something? Medical virtual reality is an area with interesting an attractive possibilities. Although the field is brand new, there are already great examples of VR having a positive effect on health care. Here are some.
Have you ever lain down on a hospital bed counting the days until you leave the hospital? Brennan Spiegel and his team at the Cedarssinai hospital in Los Angeles introduced VR worlds to their patients to help them reduce stress and pain. With the special glasses, they could escape the four walls of the hospital and enjoy amazing scenery in part in the work of an art studio or swim together with whales in the ocean. So the hospital experience is improved.
As we know, the experience in a hospital is even more stressful for small children who miss their parents and friends. Now, a Dutch company made their dream possible. Through a smart and virtual glasses, VisitU makes live contact possible with a 360-degree camera at the patients’ home, school or special occasions like a birthday celebration or a football game. Though staying in hospital, young patients can relax and still enjoy their lives.
Did you wonder what it feels like to grow old? Embodied Labs created “We Are Alfred” by using VR to show young medical students what ageing means. Everyone can be the imagined Alfred for 7 minutes, and experience what it feels like to live as a 74-year-old man. Thus it's possible to solve the disconnection between young doctors and elderly patients due to their huge age difference.
Mindmotionpro, produced by the Swiss Mindmaze allows patients with a brain injury to “practice” how to lift their arms or move their fingers with t he help of virtual reality. The app makes the practice of repetitive movements fun for patients. The mental effort helps their damaged nervous systems to recover much faster than lying helplessly in bed.
8．What is implied in the questions raised in paragraph 1?
A．The characters of medical VR. B．The function of medical VR.
C．The popularity of medical VR. D．The imagination about medical VR. 9．What do the underlined words “their dream” in paragraph 3 refer to ?
A．Being given a smart phone. B．Having fun in the hospital. C．Having access to various activities. D．Being together with familiar people. 10．What is the real purpose of “We Are Alfred” ?
A．To make doctors trust their patients
B．To help young doctors know much about elderly patients .
C．To increase doctors’ interest in their work .
D．To help doctors experience the life of an elder.
11．Which example is intended to show that medical VR speeds up recovery ? A．Spiegel’ special glasses.B．The application of VisitU.
C．The use of MindMotionPro. D．The creation of “We Are Alfred”.
Sleep deprivation(缺失)is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests.
It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and computers in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international comparison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected.
In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group.
Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.
The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS)
“I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center.
“It’s the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. “If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, it’s having a significant impact. But
worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction.”
That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.
12．What did the researchers of Boston College try to find
A．Why children don’t get enough sleep
B．How many hours children sleep every night
C．The relationship between sleep and test results
D．The relationship between sleep and health
13．Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _________.
A．they sit in front of the TV for too long
B．they can hardly sleep soundly and deeply
C．their homework occupies too much of their time
D．modern technological devices consume a lot of their time
14．Which of the following countries has the most sleep-deprived students
A．Japan B．Malta
C．Finland D．Portugal
15．Why are children who get enough sleep also victims
A．Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived students
B．Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived students
C．Because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived students
D．Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students
二、七选五
Language learning is a long-term process—it takes commitment and enthusiasm. And just like any long-term goal, we all need encouragement from time to time to keep us going16．.
Remember why you started
When you first started your language journey, it was for a reason. Perhaps you wanted to get more out of your travels or make yourself more competitive in the marketplace. When your brain is focused on learning, it makes sense that these concrete goals may slip out of your
mind.17．.
Reflect on what you’ve learned so far
Learning a new language is undoubtedly a huge undertakin g and you’ll feel overwhelmed. But before you look ahead, take some time to reflect on how far you’ve come.18．Being able to hold something that’s a direct result of your effort will help you stay on track.
Identify distractions
When our energy dips, it’s the best way to identify the choices that are distracting us from our goals. Maybe it’s our environment to staying up-to-date with television shows, or that extra hour of Facebooking before we go to bed.19．We have a limited amount time and energy and every decision we make has trade-offs. Find a balance so that we have enough time to achieve the things that are really important to us.
20．.
To stay on track, divide up your main goal of learning a new language into smaller goals, and then reward yourself after you reach each one. Perhaps that means after you master all the vocabulary in the food and drink category you’ll finally throw that fancy dinner party you’ve been dreaming about. A big reward at the end, such as an international trip, can certainly be mo tivating, but don’t forget to also celebrate your small triumphs along the way. A．Reward Yourself.
B．Build confidence through practice.
C．The most important thing is to do something every day.
D．With that in mind, here are our top tips for staying motivated to keep learning.
E.For example, you can try writing a short story or poem in the new language you’re learning.
F.Whatever our distraction of choice it’s important to recognize it and ask if we can do without it.
G.But research shows that returning to these images and visualizing your goals can help you succeed.

There he was, turning the corner of Hawley and Main Street like clockwork. His red hair seemed to catch the sunlight, giving his head a soft candle-flame glow. He caught my eye, and up went his arm in his usual wave. As usual, I 21 back and gave him a warm smile.
I didn’t know his name, but he was very 22 to everybody. No matter the weather, I saw
him walking out there almost every day.
Having moved from a larger city, I wasn’t used to waves from 23 . Actually, wherever we were, people hardly 24 each other. We simply passed by each other, heads down, minding our own 25 .
Perhaps that’s why I enjoyed these daily waves. It felt great to be 26 and receive that message of “Hello!”. On days when we didn’t 27 to pass each other, I missed him and wondered if he was all right. The next day, I’d find myself driving with one eye on the 28 .

Everyone at some point in their lives wonders if they’ve made any 34 on the world.
I can tell you that you don’t have to change the world 35 . It’s enough to help sweeten it
a little, even simply by a heart-warming wave.

六、读后续写
47．阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。续写的词数150字左右。
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.
Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable in her presence. For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help with her until I hit my preteen years. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my adolescent world to worry about helping others.
One particular summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly.
“I guess…,” I murmured under my breath.
“Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she expla ined.
I felt a knot slowly form in my stomach. How was I supposed to help there?
When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we approached the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and blossoms welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad.
Mom rang the doorbell. The door flew open and we were led to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with wounds. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars（伤疤）such as cuts, scratches and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank.
As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my
shirt._______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________
I returned to the shelter with Mom several
times.______________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________

这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了保持学习动力的方法：记得学习的目的，经常回顾所学，识别干扰以及适时奖励。
16．
设空句为段末，应起到承起后文的作用。根据后文各小段标题“Remember why you started”，“Reflect on what you’ve learned so far”等可知，后文针对如何保持学习语言的积极性提出建
议。选项D“With that in mind, here are our top tips for staying motivated to keep learning.(考虑到这一点，下面是一些保持学习动力的小贴士。)”合理概括了后文内容，且句中“that”与前文相呼应，前后衔接紧密。故选D项。
17．
根据前文“When your brain is focused on learning, it makes sense that these concrete goals may slip out of your mind.”可知，当大脑专注于学习时，这些具体的目标可能会从脑海中消失，而本段小标题为“Remember why you started(记住你为什么开始)”，因此设空句作为段末句既要呼应主题句，又要与前文形成转折关系。选项G“But research shows that returning to these images and visualizing your goals can help you succeed.(但研究表明，回到这些形象中，把你的目标形象化可以帮助你成功。)”中“But”与前文形成转折关系，且“returning to these images”呼应主题。故选G项。
18．
根据前文“But before you look ahead, take some time to reflect on how far you’ve come.”可知，作者强调展望未来之前，花些时间反思一下已经走了多远，由此可知，设空句应承接该内容进一步解释如何“反思”，提出方法或举例。选项E“For example, you can try writing a short story or poem in the ne w language you’re learning.”提出了“可以试着用你正在学习的新语言写一篇小故事或一首诗”的方法举例，符合语境分析。故选E项。
19．
根据本段小标题“Identify distractions”可知，本段的核心词汇为distractions，主要讲到了如何识别干扰。选项F“Whatever our distraction of choice it’s important to recognize it and ask if we can do without it.”提及“无论什么分散注意力，重要的是要认识到它，并问问是否可以不做它”，贴合本段主题，且句中“whatever our distraction of choice”与前文举例“Maybe it’s our environment to staying up-to-date with television shows, or that extra hour of Facebooking before we go to bed.”相呼应。故选F项。
20．
设空句为本段小标题，应体现本段核心词汇和主旨要义。根据后文“…then reward yourself after you reach each one(然后在达到小目标后奖励自己)”以及“big reward at the end, such as an international trip, can certainly be motivating, but don’t forget to also celebrate your small triumphs along the way.(最后的大奖励，比如一次国际旅行，肯定会激励你，但是不要忘记在这个过程中庆祝你的小成就。)”可知，本段的核心词为“reward”，主要内容为“小目标
得奖励”。选项A“Reward Yourself.”贴合主旨要义，符合语境分析。故选A项。

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了一个陌生人一天在街上和作者主动挥了挥手，作者也报以挥手和微笑，然后一天晚上作者用同样的方式向一位坐在车里的女士挥手，也得到了对方的回应。作者感悟到每个人在人生的某个阶段都想知道自己是否对这个世界产生了影响。你不需要彻底改变这个世界，即使只是一个温暖的挥手，这足以让世界变得更美好。
21．考查动词词义辨析。句意：像往常一样，我也挥了挥手，给了他一个温暖的微笑。A. waved 挥动；B. took带走；C. saluted敬礼；D. glanced瞥见。根据上文He caught my eye, and up went his arm in his usual wave.可知，作者也向对方挥了挥手作为回应。故选A。
