I have Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism (自闭症). I don’t see myself as a person with a disability. I share who I am when I paint, sing and write.I started writing poetry because I wanted to tell people what it was like to have Asperger’s syndrome. I don’t know how my life would be different without Asperger’s, but I know I look at the world differently than most people. I’m also learning that you don’t have to be like everybody else. You just have to be confident in who you are.I discovered I could paint when I was 7. My math teacher Mrs. Brock loved one of my paintings so much that she hung it on the wall in her bedroom. I was so encouraged by her and since then my life has changed greatly.Soon after, people asked me to show my art for charity events. I began to donate prints of my work for charity auctions (拍卖). I was glad that I really made a difference. I learned that when you give, you receive happiness.I think it is very important for teens to express themselves. It’s a way to know yourself more clearly. You can turn your thoughts and feelings into a piece of artwork or a poem.For example, when you paint, colors can help you express different emotions. When you write a poem, you have to get really honest with yourself and not be afraid to write down what you feel.Creativity makes you unique and sets you apart from others. Creative ideas also help you make your dreams come true. They help you look at things in a new way.I hope my story helps people to believe they can overcome their challenges and achieve their dreams. I like to encourage others. I know what encouragement has meant to me.36. The author mentions Mrs. Brock because she ______.A. taught the author how to paintB. found the author had a gift for paintingC. influenced the author’s later life greatlyD. encouraged the author to change her life37. The author advises teens to ______.A. learn more about themselvesB. express themselves in artC. show their thoughts to othersD. dream big and go for it38. Which of the following words can best describe the author?A. Lucky.B. Hardworking.C. Positive.D. Humorous.BWhen people want to know about the weather, they usually go to there radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure(压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around, Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(急躁的)and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp(叽叽喳喳)and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an h our on two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm, You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air is so thin that birds have difficulty flying.It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying ahead of a storm.By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.39.The word“indicators”in paragraph I probably means .A.mapsB.servicesC. stationsD..signs40.There will be a storm if birds .A. fly in different directionsB..make more noise than usuale down from tall treesD.share a piece of bread41.How can birds sense the coming of a storm?A.By feeling a drop in air temperature.B.By noticing the change of wind directions.C.By feeling a drop in air pressure.D.By noticing the movements of other animals.42.The best title for the text would be .A.Signs of a StormB. Na ture’s Weather SignsC.Animals’Sharp Se nsesD. Drops in Air PressureCMusicians have been putting their songs to images for a long time now. In the 1960s the Beatles made the films A Hard Day’s Night, Help! And Magical Mystery Tour, each of which had a simple story and included their songs. Later, groups such as the Doors and Pink Floyd began making short musical clips(音乐剪辑). These were played on television when the bands weren’t available to perform live.But at midnight on 1st August 1981, everything changed. MTV was set up. The first images were of the space shuttle Columbia lifting off, and the first words were,”Ladies and gentlemen. Rock and Roll.” Suddenly viewers could watch music videos 24 hours a day. By 1984, more than a quarter of American teenagers who turned on the TV tuned in to MTV.Music videos quickly became central to music marketing. Bands that used thenew medium(媒介) became extremely successful.But many were critical of MTV. They said the visuals moved the focus away from the music. Critics said the actual song was now less important than whether an artist was attractive or good at dancing.Others attacked music videos for being commercials(商业广告) for the music. In defence of music videos, people said they were an art in their own right.Then in 2005, everything changed again. YouTube was set up, and people began watching videos online instead of on television. MTV reduced the number of videos it played and eventually changed its focus to reality shows. Almost immediately bands put their videos on the Internet.The group OK Go shot to stardom in 2005 when the video for their first single became popular on the Internet. Within a year the video had been viewed nine million times, making it the most viewed music on YouTube at the time.Who knows what the future holds for music videos? But maybe Arcade Fire’s 2010 video for We Used to Wait offers some information. Google Maps and street view images of your childhood neighborhood are used in the video, which make it less of a video and more of an interaction(互动) between you and your childhood. Maybe music videos just went interactive!43. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A The Doors’ short musical clips were played in their live concerts.B The Beatles was the first group to make short musical clips.C The space shuttle Columbia took Rock and Roll into spaceD People have been able to watch MTV anytime since 1st August, 1981.44. Those who were not fond of MTV thought _______.A music videos brought MTV small profitsB it switched people’s attention away from the musicC the costs of making music videos were too highD the artists in the music videos were not attractive45. The underlined part “shot to stardom” in Paragraph 6 probably means ”_____”.A faced serious difficultiesB lost their fans suddenlyC became famous quicklyD was formed by chance46 This text is mainly about_______.A the future of music videosB the history of music videosC the role of technology in music videosD the change of views on music videosDSome people take the topic of laughter extremely seriously.In 1964, American journalist Norman Cousins got a serious illness. Doctor told him that he didn’t have much chance of survival, but Cousins didn’t give up. He developed a recovery programme that included large amounts of Vitamin C, along with a positive attitude and lots of laughter. “I made the discovery that ten minutes of laughter had an effect that would give me at least two hours of pain-free sleep,” he reported.In very little time, Norman was off all the painkillers and sleeping pills. Later, he returned to work and wrote about his experimental treatment in the book Anatomy of an illness. And in 1989, it was finally accepted that laughter therapy(欢笑疗法) could help improve the quality of life for patients with chronic(慢性的) illness.But there are many others who use laughter to help the sick. American physician Hunter Doherty Adams uses humor to help his patients. Each year he organizes agroup of volunteers from around the world to travel to various countries where they dress as clowns in an effort to bring some relief to hospital patients.In 1986, Michael Christensen carried out a programme called the Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit in New York City. As part of this, Clown Doctors visit children in hospitals, and use their clowning skills to help reduce stress. These visits to hospitals have been shown to help patients greatly.The programme now operates all over the USA, Canada,Europe and Australia.Another movement that’s sweeping the globe is Laughter Yoga. This was started in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria in India and is now practiced in 6,000 clubs in 65 countries around the world. Kataria is also the creator of World Laughter Day, which is celebrated on the first Sunday in May every year. People taking part in laughter yoga activities “are affected by a powerful emotional state of joy,” explains Kataria. “They, in turn, “infect” other people they come into contact(接触) with.”47. According to the text, Norman Cousins ______.A was good at doing experimentsB died of sleeplessness in 1989C was a best-selling authorD was an optimistic man48. How do Hunter Doherty Adams and his volunteers help the sick?A By dressing as clowns to entertain themB By inviting them to travel abroadC By reading stories to themD By dressing them up as clowns49. What can we learn from the text?A Laughter Yoga is most popular in India.B Anatomy of an illness is a book about laughter therapyC World Laughter Day falls on the first Saturday in May.D The Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit opened in 1995.50. The four people mentioned in the text seem to believe that _______.A laughing out loud reduces stressB painkillers should not be usedC people can benefit from laughingD exercising is helpful in treating patientsIV. 单词拼写（共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分）根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词, 在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式, 每空只写一词。
