I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said ：“ Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week. ”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students whohad a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare ，“But I ’ m just not creative. ”“ Do you dream at night when you ’ reasleep？”“ Oh, sure.”“ So tell me one of your most interesting dreams. ” The student would tell something wildlyimaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “ That ’s pretty creative. Who does that for you ？”“ Nobody. I do it. ”“ Really － at night, wh en you ’reasleep？”“ Sure.”“ Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay？”25． The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________ ．A ． know more about the studentsB ． make the lessons more excitingC． raise the students’ interest in artD ． teach the students about toy design26． What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A ． He liked to help his teacher.B ． He preferred to study alone.C． He was active in class.D ． He was imaginative.27． What does the underlined word A ． Mistake. “ downside ”B ． Drawback.in Paragraph 4 probably mean?C． Difficulty.

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“ Hey, aren ’t you from Mississippi？” the elegant, white - haired writer remembered beingasked by the stranger.“ I ’ m from Mississippi oot.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partnershowed up, she also pulled up a chair.“ They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，” Welty said.“ I didn’ t know what my New York friends were thinking. ”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty ’ s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big - city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion ( 聚会 )．“ My friend said:‘ Now we believe your stories，’”Welty added.“ And I said:‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them ．’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“ I don ’ t make them up ，” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “ I don ’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty ’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out.

Silences may bethoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversationmay also show stubbornness，uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groupsas extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap( 空隙 ) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’ s needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating amongpeople, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one ofthese cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied( 示意 ) is that the person wantsthe listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts amongpeople or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, personsin Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care - givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when theycome across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize theirown personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient t interrupted’ssilencetoo is no early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing( 治愈 ) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from othercultures.32． What does the author say about silence in conversations?A ． It implies anger.B ． It promotes friendship.C． It is culture - specific.D ． It is content- based.33． Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A ． The Chinese.B ． The French.C． The Mexicans.D ． The Russians.34． What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A ． Let it continue as the patient pleases.B ． Break it while treating patients.C． Evaluate its harm to patients.D ． Make use of its healing effects.35． What may be the best title for the text?A ． Sound and SilenceB ． What It Means to Be SilentC． Silence to Native AmericansD ． Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold5.(2016 ·高考全国卷甲 )Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong tobook groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves itin a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it ．Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says，“ The two things that change your life are the peo ple you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “ real” and not the virtual (虚构 ). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty- five countries.29． Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A ． To explain what they are.B ． To introduce BookCrossing.C． To stress the importance of reading.D ． To encourage readers to share their ideas.30． What does the underlined word “ it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A ． The book.B ． An adventure.C． A public place.D ． The identification number.31． What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A ． Meet other readers to discuss it.B ． Keep it safe in hisbookcase.

However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today ’s students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones, email andsocial media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomyand adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves“trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思想方面 ) and personally. While we should provide “ safespaces”within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community (群体 ) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students relyon administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined( 规定 ) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents desire’ for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self - regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.67． What’ s the author’ s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A ． Sympathetic.B ． Disapproving.C． Supportive. D ．Neutral.68． The underlined word“ passage” in Paragraph 2 means．A ． changeB ． choiceC． text D ． extension69． According to the author, what role should college play?A ． To develop a shared identity among students.B ． To define and regulate students’ social behavior.C． To provide a safe world without tension for students.D ． To foster students’ intellectual and personal development.70． Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I: Introduction P： Point Sp：Sub-point ( 次重点) C： Conclusion7.(2016 ·高考天津卷 )Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start- up fatigue ( 疲倦 ) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start- up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母次序 ), neverletting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the day ’ s work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seemto do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard asI can —then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.51． People with start - up fatigue are most likely to ________ ．A ． delay tasks B.work hardC． seek help D.accept failure52． What does the author recommend doing to prevent start - up fatigue?A ． Writing essays in strict order.B.Building up physical strength.C． Leaving out the toughest ideas.D.Dealing with the hardest task first.53． On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A ． Before starting a difficult task.B ． When all the solutions fail.C． If the job is rather boring.D ． After finding a way out.54． According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us________ ．A ． ignore mental problemsB.get some nice sleepC． gain complete reliefD.find the right solution55． What could be the best title for the passage?A ． Success Is Built upon FailureB ． How to Handle Performance FatigueC． Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD ． Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems8.(2016 ·高考四川卷 )If you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in yourlife ．Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a differencein the lives of others.We’ re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. V olunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don ’ t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when y ou’ re older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve inthe years ahead.24． What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A ． Your life style.B ． Your life value.C． Your trouble in life.。
