Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
People around the world are hungry to learn.Instructor Barbara Oakley discovered this when her online course Learning How to Learn attracted over 1.5 million students.
Part of the goal of her course is to present some of the facts that get in the way of learning; above all is the fact that we think we're bad at something or too old to make a change.“People can often do more, change more and learn more than they've ever dreamed.” Oakley writes.
Oakley thinks it important to keep learning.Throughout her early schooling, she flunked math and science classes and resisted family pressure to go after a science degree.Today? She's a scientist at Oakland University, after many different jobs in between.
Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our career.Many people are attending a program called “secondskilling”.When we lose our job, having other skills can give us more choices.We can also choose to take on different responsibilities within the same organization.
A Dutch university employee enriched her career thanks to her gaming skill.She became the community manager of the university's online courses.We can never tell where our skill will lead us or where it will come in handy.
Oakley offers many tips that make learning more efficient (高效的).In order to absorb information, our brains need periods of focus followed by periods of mindwandering.So learners will actually learn more if they have the time for rest and relaxation.We should also experiment with different levels of background sound to achieve best focus.Quiet leads to deeper focus, while mild background sound may encourage creative thinking.Research is
now exploring what learning looks like in the brain and it's bad news for those who loved to cram (突击准备考试).The brain can only build so many neurons (神经元) each night; regular practice is important.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。人类是热爱学习的,只要坚持不懈,方法得当,终能学有所用。
1.What is the biggest barrier to our learning according to Barbara Oakley?
A.Our low life goals. B.Our passive beliefs.
C.Our personal interest. D.Our learning disability.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知,Oakley认为我们学习中的最大障碍就是自己的消极意识:认为自己不擅长或是年纪大了不适合作改变就不去学习了。
2.What does the underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Failed. B.Rejected.
C.Attended. D.Enjoyed.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在语境可知,Oakley数学和科学学得不好,家人不同意她选择科学专业,但她还是顶住压力勇敢追求自己的梦想,最后成为知名大学的科学家。由此可推知,flunk意为“(考试、测验等)失败,不及格”。
3.What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 4?
A.The surprises brought by secondskilling.
B.The wide choices coming with more skills.
C.The necessity of learning professional skills.
D.The benefits of keeping learning to our career.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段内容特别是第一句“Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our career.”可知,作者在这一段通过具体的事例表明不断的学习有助于我们事业的发展。
4.Which of the following tips would Oakley agree with?
A.Study in a quiet environment.
B.Keep focused for being efficient.
C.Stay up for an exam when needed.
D.Include relaxation in the learning process.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In order to absorb information ...have the time for rest and relaxation.”可知,Oakley赞成学习一段时间后要放松一下。
B
My daughter was in Grade 10 in high school.Her life had been followed by her dyslexia (阅读障碍).
She battled with her schoolwork and her teachers in high school.Her math teacher, seemingly the only teacher who understood and empathized with her dyslexia, unexpectedly offered to read her the questions in a math exam.As a result, she got a previously unheardof B for math.The act of one thoughtful teacher had, perhaps for the first time in my daughter's public life, made her heart open to enjoy life to the full, and she could now start to believe in herself and her abilities.
I could of course want to contact and thank the math teacher.I phoned the school and when I asked to speak to the math teacher, I received a very guarded “why” from the receptionist who had long been the gatekeeper, fending off (抵 挡) angry parents for teachers.The surprise in her voice was obvious when I replied “I want to thank him”.“Oh ...of course, just a moment,” she responded.The teacher came on the line with the same sense of caution, knowing only that a parent was on the line.I said, “I just want to thank you for reading the questions to my daughter for her math exam.Not only did she get a B but you have no idea the positive impact your action has had on my daughter's selfbelief and hopes for her future.”
My daughter's struggles with dyslexia continue to this day.However, she is now an experienced fullyqualified worker who believes in herself and has helped many people in Family and Youth Care Organization.Doing something positive to help a person will make you feel good.Of far greater importance, however, it might change the life of the person you helped and, through his/her renewal, impact positively on the lives of hundreds of other people.

For most of us, when we think of sports, we think of playing basketball at a neighborhood court or taking tennis classes at a local fitness club.But for some, sports mean something different: skydiving (跳伞) from an airplane thousands of feet above ground or snowboarding down the steepest of hills.Such sports are called extreme sports.Extreme sports are activities, mostly practiced by young people that involve great speed or height, present a certain element (元素) of danger, and require specialized equipment.And they are practiced by individuals who, rather than helping a team to win victory, push themselves to their own physical limits, overcoming personal and environmental obstacles (障碍) to achieve a personal goal.
Extreme sports give people the chance to do what they want.For example, instead of going scuba diving, which focuses on safety and the proper use of equipment, why not try and reach great underwater depths without the assistance of breathing equipment, a sport known as “freediving”?
The X Games, held every summer and winter, are the Olympics of extreme sports.They are viewed by millions of people worldwide, and some of the athletes' faces might also be seen in Olympic events, like snowboarding or ski jumping.Fewer young people take up baseball or football, and many are in favor of sports like cave diving, kite surfing, or bungee jumping.
Extreme sports are big business, because they have become so popular.Corporations have realized that they can make a lot of money by buying expensive advertising time during the X Games or hiring a wellknown athlete to advertise a product.Extreme sports fashion has also become a huge moneymaker for corporations.The loose clothing by bigname
designers, along with the accessories (装饰品) such as sunglasses, hats, and gloves, are expensive, lending weight to the argument that extreme sports have gone with the greed of large companies.

Curling (冰壶) is a winter sport played on ice.Therefore, it's most popular in northern countries like Canada.Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people.__1__ Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment.So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes.The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed.Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.
