As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away when his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six failing grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement m nis grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”4．What does the underlined word “withdrawn” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Unwilling to communicate.B．Addicted to online games.C．Unable to control his anger.D．Tired of staying at home.5．Why was the caller silent on the call?A．He was too moved to say anything.B．He waited for the mother to continue.C．He didn’t want to be recognized.D．He didn’t know how to comfort her. 6．What kind of young man is Karl?A．Brave but self- centered.B．Optimistic but careless.C．Responsible and creative.D．Considerate and determined.7．What is a suitable title for the text?A．A Mother’s Struggle B．A Wake-up CallC．Pain Shapes One into Success D．Love Heals a Broken HeartIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the former President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地) written book”. However, he then went on talking about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to li e too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in- depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty- two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean—I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).8．How did the author find his friend a book liar?A．By discussing the book itself.B．By mentioning a famous name.C．By looking into his background.D．By judging his manner of speaking. 9．Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day. report?A．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.B．The author admitted having read 9 books.C．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.D．Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.10．Why do people lie about reading?A．To make more friends.B．To appear knowledgeable.C．To avoid a tricky situation.D．To start an in- depth conversation. 11．What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A．Uncaring.B．Favorable.C．Friendly.D．Doubtful.Yawning (打哈欠) is something we all do — maybe because we’ re bored carrying out boring tasks or because we’ re tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious (传染的), and why do we do it in the first place?Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears that there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we’ re more likely to feel sleepy and yawn in warm temperatures.What is clear is that we yawn more when we’ re exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can’t control when we do it— once we start, there’s no stop ping us! But it’s also true that yawning is a very contagious behavior. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University found in his research that there is a connect ion between yawning and our social group, specifically how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behavior, we are likely to copy it too.Another research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn’t. They also found, when using electrical stimulation (刺激), that they were ableto increase people’s desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful in treating other conditions like Tourette syndrome (综合症), which involve the same area of the brain.What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we’ re not tired — but, I hope, not when you’ re reading this article!12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To share background information.B．To introduce the topic of the text.C．To present the main idea of the text.D．To encourage independent thinking. 13．According to paragraph 2, why do people yawn?A．To fight tiredness.B．To get more oxygen.C．To stop the brain breaking down.D．To lower the brain’s temperature.14．The University of Nottingham researchers found that ________.A．yawning is not a contagious behavior.B．the urge to yawn can’t be controlled.C．people can be influenced by others’ yawning.D．electrical stimulation helps hold back yawning.15．What is the text mainly about?A．The reasons for yawning.B．The influence of yawning.C．The value of yawning research.D．The methods of yawning research.Public Speaking TrainingGet a coach16 , so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 17 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.18If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dosand don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 19 . As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.You are a special person not a clone.Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 20 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A．You aren’t like anybody elseB．You already do lots of things wellC．Turn your back on too many rulesD．Check the rules about dos and don’tsE．Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough.F．The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleepG．So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse二、完形填空Songs bring us through our life. Each time I listen to my favorite song Reach, I am deeply moved by its lyrics (歌词): “If I could reach higher, just for one moment touch the sky.” 21 we hear this enthusiastic song sung by Gloria Estefan, we can 22 imagine how she managed to return to the stage after her serious back injury.In 1990, this Cuban singer was 23 down in a terrible traffic accident, and the doctor 24 that she might never walk again.

While space in your luggage may limit what you can bring with you from home, you can pack a lot of things into your smartphone, which may be the most useful thing you bring with you all year.HoursThe time-managing app Hours first asks you to set a timer for your initial task, then you can begin handling it until an alarm sets off telling you that time’s up. By setting more timers for more tasks, you can split your day into small sections so that each one focuses on one single thing instead of having different tasks overlap one another.7 Minute WorkoutYou thought it was easy to spend one hour every day working out to stay in shape, only to find that it’s simply too time-consuming to make it a daily routine. As the name indicates, this app only requires a minimal investment. To start, you choose from various training modes. Each mode contains a training circuit of 7 minutes. If you find yourself powering through the workouts too easily, the “Be challenged” section includes more challenging modes like “abs of steel” and “mad”.DailyCostInstead of helping you organize your bills and loans, DailyCost works by tracking what you spend on everyday things-the drinks, the snacks, the movies-and showing you how all those little things can easily add up and eat away at your bank balance.OuizletWhile most of us aren’t into rote learning, you can’t deny that sometimes one of themost effective ways to absorb new vocabularies is to use flashcards. Quizlet allows you to create your own flashcards or you can simply share the ones made by the millions of other users. This online community is what sets this app apart from others like it, blurring the boundary between education and social networking. Quizlet covers a wide range of subjects, which makes it especially handy when you’re preparing for a major exam.1．Who is the passage written for?A．Tech enthusiasts.B．College students.C．Job hunters.D．App developers. 2．What can we learn about the apps?A．Hours improves efficiency by multitasking.B．7 Minute Workout requires a fee.

C．DailyCost and Quizlet.D．Hours and DailyCost.My wife, Hannah, and I don’t usually keep houseplants. Anything in pots gets either over-watered or under-watered. But after my diagnosis with glioblastoma, a terminal brain cancer, with a prognosis of little more than a year to live, I loved the idea of having something new and green around.My friend Mitch gave me what he said was a lucky bamboo plant in a deep-green pottery bowl with three pencil-sized stalks braided together. We placed the plant in the living room window across from the couch where I spent much of the day. I smiled when I looked at it over the rim of the mug of coffee Hannah brought me each morning.I told Hannah I wanted to care for the plant myself. Tending to the plant gave me a sense of accomplishment at a time when I sometimes felt useless. Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me fatigued, making it hard for me to accomplish everyday tasks. As a family physician, I was used to being the one who provided care, not the one who received it. Since my diagnosis, I had to rely on help from other people. The enormous change left me feeling purposeless and unsettled Watering the plant, as small an act as it was, connected me to a core part of my old identity and taught me that plants and people could still depend on me.Over the next few months, I recovered from surgery and completed radiation andchemotherapy. Even after I returned to work, I continued to care for the plant. Soon, it had nearly doubled in height and its leaves were shiny and lush. Both the tree and I were thriving. 4．What led the writer to keep the plant?A．Work experience.B．Misfortune in life.C．Hannah’s insistence.D．Mitch’s suggestion.5．According to paragraph 3, why did the writer feel fulfilled?A．He continued his career.B．He overcame his disease.C．He could still be a caregiver.D．He developed a love for planting. 6．Which of the following best describes the writer?A．Caring and optimistic.B．Accomplished and determined. C．Worried but understanding.D．Aimless but open-minded.7．What’s the best title for the passage?A．A Healing Bamboo B．A Determined DoctorC．An Incurable Disease D．A Miracle CureOur current climatic stable period is called the Long Summer. From the moment life began on the planet billions of years ago, the climate has swung often abruptly from one state to another-from tropical swamp (沼泽) to frozen ice age. Over the past 10,000 years, however, the climate has remained remarkably stable by historical standards: not too warm and not too cold. That stability has allowed human beings to thrive; farming has taken hold and civilizations have arisen.But as human population has exploded over the past few thousand years, the fragile ecological balance that kept the Long Summer going has become threatened. The rise of industrialized agriculture has led to pollution on land and water, while our fossil fuel addiction has moved billions of tons of carbon from the land into the atmosphere, heating the climate ever more.Now a new article in the Sept. 24 issue of Nature says the safe climatic limits in which humanity has blossomed are more vulnerable than ever and that unless we recognize our planetary boundaries and stay within them，we risk total disaster. But the fact is that it’s tough for policymakers to work out a new climate change agreement unless they know just how much carbon needs to be cut to keep people safe.The problem is that identifying, those limits is a vague science-and even trickier totranslate into policy. Scientists still aren’t certain as to how sensitive the climate will be to warming over the long term. It’s possible that the atmosphere will be able to handle more carbon or that disaster could be triggered at lower levels. But climate diplomats should remember that while they can negotiate with one another, ultimately, they can’t negotiate with the planet. Unless we manage our presence on Earth better, we may soon be in the last days of our Long Summer.8．What contributed to the prosperity of human beings?A．Farming and civilization.B．Long-term stable climate. C．Changes on the earth.D．The beginning of life.9．Which of the following has put the ecosystem in danger?A．The rise of agriculture.B．The imbalanced industry.C．The heavy use of fossil fuel.D．The upcoming climatic swing. 10．How does the writer develop the last paragraph?A．By presenting facts.B．By analyzing causes.C．By explaining reasons.D．By making predictions.11．What is suggested to solve the climate problem?A．Identifying safe climatic limits.B．Working with climate diplomats. C．Reducing our impact on the planet.D．Establishing a climate change agreement.It’s a question that’s bothered cultural critics for decades: while we know more than ever, are we getting sillier and dumber as a result of the increasing amount of technology at our disposal?The current debate about intelligence, sparked by Nicholas Carr’s recent The Shallows, asks what the Internet is doing to our brains? Like Susan Jacoby’s The Age of American Unreason, Mr. Carr addresses the sense of despair among American intellectuals about the country’s poor educational performance when compared with other countries. In reading, mathematics and science, American 15-year-olds suffer in the lower half of the rankings for the 30 wealthiest countries.But things are rarely as they seem.E-books barely existed a decade ago, but have exploded in popularity since Amazon introduced its Kindle a few years back. E-books are now outselling hardcovers. Perhaps we are witnessing not a decline in book reading but a renaissance. The irony is that had computers been invented before books we would now.beanxious about the loss of multi-media, multi-tasking, computer-gaming skills as our children wasted their time burying themselves in single topic paper books.“There is simply no experimental evidence to show that living with new technologies fundamentally changes brain organization in a way that affects one’s ability to focus,” says Daniel Simons, a psychologist at Union College, New York.The danger, if there is one, is that the easy, on-demand access to lots of information from the Internet may delude us into mistaking the data we download for genuine wisdom worth acting upon. Only fools would venture into such a forest of information with anything less than their eyes wide open and their brains fully engaged .Fortunately，there are fewer fools around than some of the scaremongers(散布谣言者)like to think.12．What makes American scholars upset?A．US kids’ weak academic performance.B．The ongoing debate about intelligence.C．The poor education in USA．D．America’s wealth ranking.13．Why are computers mentioned in paragraph 3?A．To contrast with the popularity of Kindle.B．To highlight the benefits of high tech.C．To warn about a decline in reading.D．To stress the importance of books.14．What does the underlined word “delude" mean in paragraph 5?A．terrify B．argue C．force D．trick 15．What is the main idea of this passage?A．New technology changes our brains.B．Exposure to high tech should be reduced.C．Advanced technology won’t make us dumbD．Nicholas Carr released a book on intelligence.二、七选五Tibetan New Year, aka Losar, is the most important festival in Tibet and is celebrated for 15 days, typically falling in February or March.
