The next week，my mom gave me some money to buy some wax (蜡) to make more candles.They sold out really quickly，too.Nine months later，we decided to stop selling flowers.My mom and I couldn't make enough candles during the week，so some of my school friends started to help us.I paid them one pound for every candle，and we used to sell them for three or four times that.It was fun and my friends worked with me in the market.When I was 22，my uncle lent me some money and I opened my first shop on Portobello Road.Since then，I've never looked back，even in difficult times.At the first store，we only sold candles，but now we sell everything from designer furniture (定制家具) to paintings.12．The sentence “I began to give my mom a hand” means “________”．A．I began to get along better with my momB．I began to give my mom some giftsC．I began to help my mom sell flowersD．I began to wash my hands before working13．The right order of the following things is ________．a．The writer's mom stopped selling flowers.b．The writer went to the market with some candles.c．The writer bought candles from her friends and sold them well.d．The writer's mom fell ill.e．The writer's candles sold well.A．dbeac B．bdeacC．bedac D．adbec14．Kyra's uncle helped her open a shop by ________ when she was 22.A．working together with herB．buying her a shopC．teaching her basic skillsD．lending her some money15．From the passage you can learn that you should ________．A．hold on to your dreams and never give upB．spend all your free time on developing your interestsC．have your own idea and work hard to make it succeedD．get as much support as you can from your familyⅡ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Every time I called him to answer questions, he'd reply with a flip (轻率的) answer. If he got it wrong, he would get very angry.Usually kids could sit quietly in class. However Tyler was just loud. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching. I said to him, “Tyler, why not join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?” He got up from his chair, pushed it over, and shouted something I can't remember. I sent him to the office and he received a week's out-of-school punishment.The week was a wonderful time for me without the noisy Tyler, but when it came to an end, I began to feel worried. So I came up with a plan. On the day of his return, I told him I wanted to start over with him. If he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he could step outside the door for a moment.From then on, Tyler was a changed student in my classroom. In fact he was a smart child and he even stopped a fight between two students one day. And he never used the privilege (特权) to leave the class for a moment. I believe that just letting him decide for himself made all the difference.When the school year was over, he wrote me a thank-you note about how good the year had been for him. I still have it today and find it very moving to reread when I get stressed about teaching.24．When Tyler was talking in class, what did the teacher advise him to do?A．Join in their discussion.B．Have his own discussion.C．Get up from his chair.D．Go out of school25．Tyler did all the following things EXCEPT .A．sitting in the back row.B．leaving the class for a moment.C．stopping a fight between two students.D．not listening to teachers in class. 26．Everytime the teacher reads the thank-you note, how does he feel?A．Stressed.B．Worried.C．Satisfied.D．Moved27．What is the passage mainly about?A．How Tyler got the punishment.B．How Tyler changed to be a good student.C．How the teacher dealt with Tyler's return.D．How the teacher felt about Tyler's thank-you note.It’s often said that we human beings can dream in a foreign language. Could dreaming in a foreign language improve our memory? Does dreaming in a foreign language mean we are making progress in learning that language?Before we look at multilingual (多语言) dreams, first we need to look at sleep. The connection between sleep and language can be applied to how we learn any language, including our native language. Even adults still learn about one new word every two days in their first language. But, if we are going to remember that new word better, what matters is that we need to connect it with what we have learned. And in order to do that, we “need to have some sleep”, says Gareth Gaskell, a professor at the University of York.It’s during sleep that the integration (整合) of old and new knowledge happens. At might, one part of our brain — the hippocampus — takes whatever new information it receives during the day and passes it on to other parts of the brain to be stored. The role that dreams play in this night-time learning process is still being studied, but “it’s entirely possible that during multilingualdreams, the brain is trying to connect the two languages”, says Marc, a researcher at a university in Bern, Switzerland.So having multilingual dreams could mean that our brain is trying to remember a new word or phrase. However, it could also have an emotional (情感) significance. Danuta, a professor of psycholinguistics at the University of Silesia in Poland, suggests that multilingual dreams can express “fears or wishes” around learning a foreign language, including the wish to be a local speaker or to be accepted within a certain community.We clearly still have a lot to learn about multilingual dreams, but one thing seems certain: if you’re trying to learn a new language, you can sleep on it.28．Why does the author mention questions in paragraph 1?A．To compare different ideas.B．To introduce the main topic.C．To present different types of dreams.D．To discuss the human language ability. 29．What is the key element in memorizing a new word according to the text?A．The other new words.B．The native language.C．The gained knowledge.D．The speaking practice.30．What can we learn about multilingual dreams?A．They may influence people’s sleep quality.B．They can reflect language-learning feelings.C．They are the best option to learn a language.D．They help to clear up the uselessinformation.31．Where is the text most likely from?A．A novel.B．A diary.C．A guidebook.D．A magazine.If you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of your indoor plants.The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; and if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that theplant needs to be watered to warn its owner.The robot was developed by Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead Sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding (回应),” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them. ”According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency (趋向) towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move. ”The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.32．What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?A．It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight.B．It waters the plants through dancing.C．It helps people do some gardening.D．It carries the potted plant with its hands. 33．What does the underlined word “blocks” mean in paragraph 2?A．Hides.B．Avoids.C．Prevents.D．Receives. 34．What does the author try to show through Paragraph 3?A．The way plants spend their whole lives.B．The common way people deal with plants.C．The difference between plants and humans.D．The cause of making the indoor plants’helper.35．What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology?A．To develop gardening skills.B．To draw people’s attention to plants.C．To make plants experience move.D．To study the living conditions of plants.Speed reading is a skill that allows people to process information quickly with skimming techniques. 36 Here’re some efficient speed reading techniques.Talk to yourself less and avoid sounding out each word. 37 This may help readers remember concepts but can also be a major barrier to speed. Keep in mind that you don’t need to read every single word to understand the sentence’s overall meaning.Cover words you’ve already read with a card. When you’re reading, your eyes can move back to earlier words. These are typically short habitual movements that don’t improve understanding or speed. Use a card to cover words right after you’ve read them. 38 Move your eyes less as you read. While reading, your eyes: move, stopping on some words and skipping others. However, you can only comprehend what you’re reading when your eyes stop moving. Learning to move your eyes less can help you read faster. So try staring at one line at a time without gliding your eyes over the words.39 Track your progress by timing yourself daily, or each time you do a speed reading exercise. Not only does trying to beat your best speed motivate you, but it can also give you a goal to work towards.Set obtainable goals to improve your speed reading. Aim to work on n yours pee reading daily by completing speed reading exercises. 200 to 250 words per minute is the expected reading speed for someone 12 or older. 40 At 450 words per minute, you’re reading as fast as a college student skimming for the main points. It typically takes 2 to 4weeks to double your reading speed, so be patient with yourself and keep trying.A．Point to the words you’re reading on the page.B．So, how do you learn and master this amazing skill?C．Time your reading speed so you can track your progress.D．Some readers sound out every word they read in their heads.E．This way, you can train yourself not to look back at previous sentences.F．300 words per minute is the reading speed of the average college student.G．Reading can seem like such a chore, especially because it can take so long.三、完形填空Jenna had graduated from her junior school.
