第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So, for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.
1. How can Chinese listeners connect with Lucy
A. With Wechat B. Through Weibo C. On Facebook D. By YouTube.
2. When John went to an English Speech Competition, you should say “_________” to him.
A. Break a leg! B. It cost an arm and a leg.
C. To call it a day D. A piece of cake.
3. What does he/she mean when the teacher says “Let's call it a day.”
A. He/She will stop that day B. He/She feels tired
C. Class is over. D. It is daytime.
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。广播介绍了“四个常见的英式表达”。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Break a leg!”小标题下段落中“And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!””（“Break a leg!”意思是“Good luck!”所以，在比赛、面试、考试之前，替代“Good luck!”我可能会说“Break a leg(祝你好运)”。）可知，当John要参加英语演讲比赛时，你应该对他说“Break a leg(祝你好运)”。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“To call it a day.”小标题下段落中“And this means “to end a task”.”（ 它的意思是“结束一项任务”。）（句中this代指“To call it a day”）可知，当老师说“Let's call it a day.”时，意思是“（课已结束）下课吧”。故选C项。

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us, I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family, I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer; none came.
My hope turned to disappointment then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of Her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one — page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
4. The passage shows that___________.
A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to the author
B. Mother was too serious about everything the author had done
C. Mother cared much about the author in words
D. Mother wrote to the author in careful words
5. The underlined word "gulf "in the passage means_________.
A. deep understanding B. difference between ideas
C. free talks D. part of the sea
6. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
7. What's the best title of the passage
A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother's Desk D. Talks between Mother and me.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者从小就喜欢母亲的书桌，她和母亲之间从未心与心的交谈，因此她们之间有代沟。作者成年后，给母亲写信希望她原谅她，但一直没有收到回信，母亲在最后时刻把书桌留给了作者，作者深刻地感受到母亲表面上很冷酷，实际上内心很体贴自己的女儿。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But she lived "on the surface".(但她生活在“表面上”。)”、倒数第二段“I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one — page letter, folded and refolded many times.(我仔细地清理了桌子，发现里面有几张纸——一张我父亲的照片和一封一页纸的信，折叠了又折叠了很多次。)”和最后一段“Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.( “给我一个答复，”我在信中问道，“无论你选择什么方式。”妈妈，您总是选择行动胜于语言。)”从这些细节可以推断出，作者的母亲表面上很冷酷，实际上内心很体贴自己的女儿。故选A。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".(我“太情绪化了”。但她生活在“表面上”。)”可知，母女之间出现了隔阂。由此可知，gulf为“隔阂”之意，即“观念上的差异”。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one — page letter, folded and refolded many times.(我仔细地清理了桌子，发现里面有几张纸——一张我父亲的照片和一封一页纸的信，折叠了又折叠了很多次。)”可知，作者的母亲在去世之前，把那封信读了一遍又一遍。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是根据第一段中的“I've loved my mother's desk”可知，妈妈的书桌是贯穿全文的一条线索，所以文章最好的题目是“My Mother's Desk(妈妈的书桌)”。故选C。
C
There are few places on Earth that humans haven’t messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being altered by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-caused global warming.
Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun's energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo (反射率) effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. “That’s one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren’t there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be,” Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. “Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation,” he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences,” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
8. Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting
A. It is highly reflective. B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.
C. It produces vast energy. D. It causes much pollution.
9. According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study
A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.
B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.
C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.
D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The change caused by Antarctic melting. B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.
C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state. D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.
11. What does Raphael advise people to do
A. Reduce tourist numbers. B. Face the consequences.
C. Acquire professional education. D. Stop disturbing the climate.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于人为造成的全球变暖，南极洲的环境发生着变化。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句话“Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun's energy and warm up.(甚至最少量的深色污染物也会对融化产生重要的影响，因为它的反射率非常低：颜色较浅的物体，如雪，反射太阳的能量并保持凉爽；黑暗的东西，如黑碳，吸收太阳的能量并变暖)”可知，由于能够吸收热量，黑碳对融化会产生巨大的影响。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句话“That’s one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.(这是这项研究的动机之一，量化黑碳对区域融雪的影响，这对于量化黑碳在全球冰雪损失中的作用非常重要)”可知，在研究过程中，量化黑碳对融雪的影响是十分巨大的。A项“测量黑碳对融化的影响”符合题意。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段第二句话“But, if it weren’t there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be(但是，如果它不存在，在它注定要成为的状态下，我们在气候系统中的平衡将不再存在)”及第三句话“Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation(南极洲的海冰对于维持大气环流的平衡也很重要)”可知，本段主要讲述了南极洲对于环境的重要性。C项“南极处于其状态的重要性”更符合题意。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Everything we do has consequences,” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”(“我们所做的一切都有后果，”Raphael说。“我们需要教育自己了解这些后果，特别是在我们相对知之甚少的系统中，我们必须小心，不要破坏气候平衡。”)”可知，Raphael建议我们停止扰乱气候，不应破坏气候的平衡。故选D项。
D
When I told my parents I was quitting my job, my parents objected strongly. They said something to me, “You won’t have any money, NO!” “Setting up a business is very risky, you shouldn’t do it!” and “Your job is so suitable with rather great pay, why do you want to quit ”
Their comments didn’t wind me up since I had already made up my mind. I told them that I knew what I was doing. At the same time, I understood their concerns, which I had already put into my business plan.
After 9 months or so, my parents stopped discouraging me. After my first or second year, they actually understood that I was doing this for my career. It’s been 10 years, and for the past 8 years, they never asked me to do anything different. In my family, when you don’t get strong discouragement, that means acceptance. Similarly, when I told them about my plan to travel around the world, to try a different diet, among other plans, they would completely oppose at first. But after I pushed forward and moved forward with my aims for a while, they would come to accept them.
At the end of the day, remember that your parents love you. If they don’t care about you, they wouldn’t be against what you do at the risk of influencing your relationship with them. So don’t hate them. Use their objection as a positive force. It will take time for them to change their mind, but when they are aware of your determination (决心) and see you succeeding, and feeling happy and fulfilled doing so, they will realize that you are no longer a little boy / girl who requires their worry and control. That’s when they start to be more hands-off and give you the space to grow and come into your own.
12. What did the author decide to do after giving up his job 10 years ago
A. Go on a diet． B. Start his own business．
C. Travel around the world alone． D. Improve his relationship with his parents．
13. How does the author get his parents’ acceptance when doing something different
A. By sticking to his goals． B. By turning to someone else．
C. By showing more respect for them． D. By having more communication with them．
14. What advice does the author offer in the last paragraph
A. Change jobs from time to time．
B. Live a happy and successful life．
C. Find the space to improve yourselves．
D. Think about parents’ opposing opinions positively．
15. What does the text focus on
A. Whether to give up your job when you don’t like it．
B. What to do when your parents don’t support you．
C. How to communicate with your parents properly．
D. Whether to change your goals now and then．
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过讲述自己和父母之间从不理解到理解的转变来告诉读者在父母对我们有反对意见的时候应该怎么对待。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“When I told my parents I was quitting my job, my parents objected strongly.(当我告诉父母我要辞职时，父母强烈反对。)”和“Setting up a business is very risky, you shouldn’t do it!(创业风险很大，你不应该这么做！)”可知，作者在10年前放弃工作后决定开创自己的事业。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“But after I pushed forward and moved forward with my aims for a while, they would come to accept them.(但当我朝着我的目标前进了一段时间后，他们就会接受我的目标。)”可知，作者在做一些不同的事情时是通过坚持自己的目标来得到父母的认可的，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Use their objection as a positive force.(把他们的反对当作一种积极的力量。)”可知，作者在最后一段给出的建议是积极地看待父母的反对意见。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“If they don’t care about you, they wouldn’t be against what you do at the risk of influencing your relationship with them. So don’t hate them. Use their objection as a positive force.(如果他们不关心你，他们就不会冒着影响你和他们关系的风险反对你所做的事情。所以不要讨厌他们。把他们的反对当作一种积极的力量。)”可知，本文作者通过讲述自己和父母之间从不理解到理解的转变来告诉读者在父母对我们有反对意见的时候应该怎么对待，也就是主要是讲的“当你的父母不支持你时该怎么办”，故选B。

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____16____
Everyone feels anxious during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____17____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
____18____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test ____19____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____20____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.
B. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
C. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
F. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
G. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：你可以一个人跳，也可以和同学一起跳。根据语境可知，句子表示“你可以一个人跳，也可以和同学一起跳”，空格处意为“和……一起”，用介词with，故填with。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你也可以帮忙转动一根长绳子，让其他人一次跳过一根。根据语境可知，句子表示“你也可以帮忙转动一根长绳子，让其他人一次跳过一根”，空格处用不定式表目的，故填to jump。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意：如果你一个人跳，你需要一根短绳子，它正好适合你的身高。由空前的your可知，空格处用名词，high的名词是height，意为“身高”，是不可数名词，故填height。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意：绳子应该慢慢转动。空格处用副词slowly，修饰动词turned，故填slowly。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：它还必须转得足够高，让你自由安全地跳跃，这需要仔细把握时机。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，主语是前面的整个主句的内容，因此用which引导定语从句，故填which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在跳绳中，时机意味着你要足够慢地转动绳子，以便在正确的时间跳过去，而不会撞到你的脚。根据语境可知，句子表示“时机意味着你要足够慢地转动绳子”，mean doing sth.意为“意味着做某事”，因此空格处用动名词turning，作宾语，故填turning。
【42题详解】
考查物主代词。句意：在跳绳中，时机意味着你要足够慢地转动绳子，以便在正确的时间跳过去，而不会撞到你的脚。you和feet是所属关系，因此空格处用形容词性物主代词your，修饰feet。故填your。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意：当你跳绳时，你的心跳加快，你的脸有一个健康的颜色。根据语境可知，句子表示“当你跳绳时，你的心跳加快，你的脸有一个健康的颜色”，也就是心跳得更快，空格处用比较级faster。故填faster。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：但是如果你一开始跳太多次，你会累的。空格处用形容词作表语，主语you是人，因此空格处用ed结尾的形容词tired，意为“累的”，故填tired。
【45题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：如果你不断地练习，你可以增加你不休息跳跃的次数。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果你不断地练习，你可以增加你不休息跳跃的次数”，the number of意为“……的数量”，因此空格处是定冠词the，故填the。
第三节 单句语法填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分)
46. Shanghai is an international city whose historic buildings often made a deep ____________ (impress) on visitors. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】impression
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：上海是一个国际化城市，其历史建筑经常给游客留下深刻的印象。分析句子可知，空处在an的后面，作make的宾语，make an impression on sb.为固定搭配，意思为：给……留下深刻印象。故填impression。
47. The letter wasn’t addressed to me but I opened it out of ____________ (curious). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】curiosity
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这封信不是写给我的，但我出于好奇把它拆开了。空格处用名词作介词of的宾语，curious的名词是curiosity，意为“好奇心”，是不可数名词，out of curiosity表示“出于好奇”。故填curiosity。
48. Please show your sincerity if you really want to ____________ (apology) to someone. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】apologize##apologise
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你真的想向别人道歉的话，请展现出你的诚意。want to do sth.表示“想要做某事”，分析句子结构可知，空格处应填动词原形，所以应填apologize/apologise。故填apologize/apologise。
49. We are not likely ____________ (argue) with Jack because he will never change his mind. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to argue
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：我们不可能和杰克争论，因为他永远不会改变主意。sb. be likely to do sth.是固定短语，意为“某人可能做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to argue。故填to argue。
50. I want to focus __________ my band and have a career in music when I leave school．
【答案】on
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。句意：我想集中精力在我的乐队上，毕业后在音乐行业有所建树。“集中注意力，集中精力在某事上”一般被翻译为focus on sth.,故填on。
51. I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my______(eager) to get to know my new school. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】eagerness
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：我很早就醒了，冲出门去，急切地想了解一下我的新学校。分析可知，空前“my”为形容词性物主代词，相当于形容词作定语，因此所填空应是名词。“eager”，形容词，意为“急切的；渴望的”，其名词形式为“eagerness”，意为“急切；渴望”，符合分析，在短语“in my ______ (eager)”中作介词“in”的宾语。“in one’s eagerness to do”，意为“急于做某事”。故填eagerness。
52. I was organising my words in my head______the girl next to me gave me a nudge.(用适当单词填空)
【答案】when
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意：我正在脑海里组织语言，突然旁边的女孩推了我一下。根据句意和句子结构可知，此处是固定句型was doing sth....when...“过去正在做某事......突然.....”，故填when。
53. The case ____________ (investigate) for over six weeks. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】has been investigated
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：该案件已调查了六个多星期。由for over six weeks可知，句子时态用现在完成时，且案件是被调查，因此句子用现在完成时的被动语态，主语case是单数，因此空格处是has been investigated。故填has been investigated。
54. He kept interrupting in the discussion, ____________ (ignore) our feelings completely. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】ignoring
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他不停地打断讨论，完全忽略我们的感受。前后动词之间没有连词，因此此处为非谓语动词，他He和忽略ignore是主动关系，用现在分词作状语。故填ignoring。
55. The young athlete was highly praised for his outstanding ____________ (perform). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】performance
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：这位年轻运动员因其出色的表现而受到高度赞扬。outstanding是形容词，修饰名词，句子表示“这位年轻运动员因其出色的表现而受到高度赞扬”，空格处意为“表现”，名词是performance，作不可数名词，故填performance。
56. No matter what happened, we should hold a ____________ (积极的) attitude towards life.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】positive##active
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：无论发生什幺，我们都应该抱着积极的生活态度。表示“积极的”应用形容词positive或者active作定语。故填positive。
57. We are educated to ____________ (尊重) the individual privacy of others. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】respect
【解析】
【详解】考查不定式。句意：我们被教育要尊重他人的个人隐私。“尊重”是respect，be educated to do sth.是固定短语，意为“被教育要做某事”，因此空格处是动词原形，故填respect。
58. Seize the ____________(机会) when it comes and you won’t regret. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】opportunity
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：当机会来临时，抓住它，你就不会后悔。“机会”是opportunity，此处是一个机会，因此空格处用单数，故填opportunity。

【答案】obviously
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：这些车在颜色和大小上明显不同。空格处用副词修饰形容词different，“明显地”的副词是obviously，故填obviously。

A
Hello and welcome to English with Lucy. Today we have another topic:“Four common British expressions.” Now, before we get started, make sure you connect with me on all my social media which is right here. You can subscribe to my YouTube. You can also like me on Facebook. And for my Chinese followers, I have my Weibo account as well.
Four Common British Expressions:
“A piece of cake.”
And this is very similar to “Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy,” which we've discussed in a former video. And basically, it means very easy. So I might come out of an easy exam saving, “That exam was a piece of cake. ”
“Break a leg!”
It actually looks really rather cruel, but I promise you it's positive. And “Break a leg!” means “Good luck!” So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!” I might say “Break a leg!”
“It cost an arm and a leg.”
And this basically means something was really expensive. If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.
“To call it a day.”
And this means “to end a task”. So for example, “I'm feeling a bit tired. I think I'll call it a day. ”That means “I think I'll stop here. Let's finish.”
Thank you so much for watching this program of “Four Common British Expressions.” I hope you like it, and I hope you've learned something.

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth."
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us, I was "too emotional". But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family, I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer; none came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace. It seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of Her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one — page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
4. The passage shows that___________.
A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to the author
B. Mother was too serious about everything the author had done
C. Mother cared much about the author in words
D. Mother wrote to the author in careful words
5. The underlined word "gulf "in the passage means_________.
A. deep understanding B. difference between ideas
C. free talks D. part of the sea
6. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
7. What's the best title of the passage
A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother's Desk D. Talks between Mother and me.
C
There are few places on Earth that humans haven’t messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being altered by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-caused global warming.
Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun's energy and warm up.
“The snow albedo (反射率) effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. “That’s one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice.”
“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren’t there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be,” Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. “Antarctica’s sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation,” he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.
“Everything we do has consequences,” Raphael said. “We need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don’t upset the climate balance.”
8. Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting
A. It is highly reflective. B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.
C. It produces vast energy. D. It causes much pollution.
9. According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study
A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.
B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.
C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.
D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A. The change caused by Antarctic melting. B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.
C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state. D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.
11. What does Raphael advise people to do
A. Reduce tourist numbers. B. Face the consequences.
C. Acquire professional education. D. Stop disturbing the climate.
D
When I told my parents I was quitting my job, my parents objected strongly. They said something to me, “You won’t have any money, NO!” “Setting up a business is very risky, you shouldn’t do it!” and “Your job is so suitable with rather great pay, why do you want to quit ”
Their comments didn’t wind me up since I had already made up my mind. I told them that I knew what I was doing. At the same time, I understood their concerns, which I had already put into my business plan.
After 9 months or so, my parents stopped discouraging me. After my first or second year, they actually understood that I was doing this for my career. It’s been 10 years, and for the past 8 years, they never asked me to do anything different. In my family, when you don’t get strong discouragement, that means acceptance. Similarly, when I told them about my plan to travel around the world, to try a different diet, among other plans, they would completely oppose at first. But after I pushed forward and moved forward with my aims for a while, they would come to accept them.
At the end of the day, remember that your parents love you. If they don’t care about you, they wouldn’t be against what you do at the risk of influencing your relationship with them. So don’t hate them. Use their objection as a positive force. It will take time for them to change their mind, but when they are aware of your determination (决心) and see you succeeding, and feeling happy and fulfilled doing so, they will realize that you are no longer a little boy / girl who requires their worry and control. That’s when they start to be more hands-off and give you the space to grow and come into your own.

Exam Anxiety
Has this ever happened to you You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it hard to breathe. ____16____
Everyone feels anxious during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is normal and often helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. ____17____ You may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
____18____ Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during your test ____19____ Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. ____20____ You can always go back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides, allocating (分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started. Mentally allocate how much time you’ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even better.
A. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your confidence.
B. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your work.
C. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
F. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
G. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
