They weren't sitting down for a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. They were sitting down to change the world, or, at least, a part of it.‎ ‎ Throughout the South, prejudice (偏见) against African Americans was common. The Woolworth's lunch counter — like many restaurants, hotels, and hospitals — refused to serve African Americans. This humiliating (屈辱的) treatment made many African Americans unhappy and begin to say, “No more!” So, Ezell A. Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond — the four college students — decided to fight back without violence. The four men walked into Woolworth's with a clear plan of action. They knew the servers would refuse to serve them. They knew other customers would treat them rudely. But no matter what, they would remain peaceful and polite, even to those who behaved hatefully toward them. ‎ ‎ They'd been inspired by civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King asked African Americans to challenge prejudice and demand equal treatment. But he did not believe in using violence to get results. Dr. King said that love can lead to understanding, but hate only leads to more hate. African Americans, he said, must do something quite difficult: fight violence and hate with peace and love. ‎ ‎ The four men in Greensboro believed in the teachings of Dr. King. But as they took their seats at the counter, they had to wonder: Would these ideas work? In fact they did. By the end of the week, the four were joined by hundreds of other protesters (抗议者). News of their “sit-in” spread around the country, and soon other groups were protesting at Woolworth's around the country. By July, the lunch counter at Woolworth's was open to African Americans. Other restaurants soon followed. Through their simple act of sitting down, the four men took a brave stand for equality and peace. ‎ ‎21. Why did four college students walk into the Woolworth's store on February 1, 1960? ‎ ‎ A. To have a drink. B. To enjoy a tasty lunch. ‎ ‎ C. To fight for equal rights. D. To join in a heated discussion.‎ ‎22. How did Dr. King affect the four college students in Greensboro? ‎ ‎ A. By pushing them to go to college. ‎ ‎ B. By acting as a role model for them. ‎ ‎ C. By leading them to challenge themselves. ‎ D. By encouraging them to respect each other. ‎ ‎23. How did the other protesters react to the four college students' sit-in?‎ ‎     A. They considered it unreasonable. B. They expressed dissatisfaction. ‎ ‎ C. They showed no interest in it. D. They strongly supported it.‎ ‎24. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Stand Up by Sitting Down B. The Story of Dr. Martin Luther King ‎ ‎ C. A Lasting Solution to Social Inequality D. Explore the roles of African America B ‎“You know, the soft subjects,” says the boy in maths. “The easy ones: the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldn't even be a subject.” We're choosing subjects for our A-level taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama (戏剧).‎ ‎ I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldn't help me to get a suitable career. My friends told me I'd get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month.‎ ‎ But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom. ‎ ‎ The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on (强调) science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldn't matter what that subject is.‎ ‎ I don't doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, I'm not good at and don't love physics, biology or maths. I don't want a career in these areas. ‎ ‎ There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I can't even imagine how it feels to be told that you don't teach a “real subject” by an 8-year-old boy. ‎ ‎ To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.‎ ‎25. How does the boy in maths feel about dance?‎ ‎ A. Useless. B. Difficult. C. Beautiful. D. Important.‎ ‎26. After the author took GCSE dance, she _____.‎ ‎ A. lost interest in it B. kept her mind on it ‎ C. turned to other subjects D. struggled with her lessons ‎27. What do we know about Nicky Morgan?‎ ‎ A. She encourages students to learn soft subjects.‎ ‎ B. She suggests students take a risk in their careers.‎ ‎ C. She underlines the importance of STEM subjects.‎ ‎ D. She allows students to express themselves freely.‎ ‎28. What's the present situation of arts subjects?‎ ‎ A. They attract much attention worldwide.‎ ‎ B. They are taught by non-professionals.‎ ‎ C. They are considered less important. ‎ ‎ D. They have made great progress.‎ C Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I hate small talk!” the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about “small” subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when there's a group around. ‎ ‎ If you're talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either they'll seem to get bored and not say much or they'll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. It's just that they don't like small talk. Here's why.‎ ‎ Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts don't realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You don't need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, they'll mull over different thoughts.‎ ‎ Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to (倾向于) step back. As a result, they'll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest. ‎ ‎ The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why they're so quiet.‎ ‎29. How do introverts respond to a chat?‎ ‎ A. They try to avoid it. B. They get excited about it.‎ ‎ C. They give it their full attention. D. They focus on unimportant topics.‎ ‎30. What do we know about small talk?‎ ‎ A. It goes slowly. B. It costs people a lot of time.‎ ‎ C. It contributes to deeper topics. D. It provides much useful information.‎ ‎31. What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Give up. B. Think over. C. Write down. D. Forget about.‎ ‎32. How can we become a good talker in small conversations?‎ ‎ A. Figure out the deep meaning of questions. ‎ ‎ B. Think twice before answering questions.‎ ‎ C. Try to find shared topics.‎ ‎ D. Be a quiet listener.‎ 第二节 （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填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Being a superhero to others ‎ Ewan Drum has always liked superheroes. He likes how they help people. At age seven, he told his parents, “I want to dress up like a superhero and help the homeless.” 33 Wearing his red superhero cape (斗篷), Ewan helped pass out 70 bag lunches to hungry people in a park in Detroit, Michigan. That's how Super Ewan was born.‎ ‎ 34 People donated (捐赠) money and supplies (供给物), and Ewan took them to those in need. When someone donated jugs (大罐) of water, Ewan and his family drove their car to get even more. They took the water to Flint, Michigan, a city that had unsafe drinking water. Another time, a businessman donated six turkeys (火鸡) for Thanksgiving. 35 “In the end,” he says, “we gave 64 turkey dinners to families all around Detroit.”‎ ‎ Ewan has a motto: Everyone can be a superhero to someone. At an event called the Hero Round Table, Ewan told the audience, “It's not hard to help people. You can keep some socks and food in your car to help people in need. You can help a neighbor with doing the garden. 36 ”‎ ‎ It's been several years since Super Ewan started his task. Every month, he still visits the same park to hand out clothes, food, and supplies to people who are hungry or homeless — his Super Friends. 37 “No matter what,” Ewan says, “I will always keep helping people.”‎ A. Word spread about Ewan's act of kindness. ‎ B. This superhero says he'll never take off his cape. ‎ C. Ewan says he wants more adults to act like superheroes.‎ D. Every little thing helps and can make someone feel happy.‎ E. A few months later, Ewan's family planned a day of giving.‎ F. Several days later, his parents drove to Flint and helped him raise a lot of money.‎ G. With his parents' help, Ewan asked for more turkeys through the Internet, plus side dishes.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 第一节 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Although the argument has been made that money spent on pets could better be directed to programs that provide assistance for needy people, I 38 that pets should be treated like family members because they 39 us and interact (交往) with us like family members do. Often parents allow children to have pets in order to 40 them to be responsible. By feeding, walking, and 41 a dog, children learn to be dependable and 42 . Parents expect their children to 43 the pets as if they were family members to learn these valuable lessons. For many children, a pet is also a best friend and a 44 way to learn how to treat a(n) 45 brother or sister when the family expands. ‎ ‎ Besides the 46 that children enjoy with animals, pets can substitute (代替) for the absence of other family members. Sometimes a couple who is 47 to have children will keep pets. They shower the 48 on their pets that they might have provided a child, and receive companionship (陪伴) in return. Many people who are living 49 enjoy the companionship of a pet instead of loved ones who are at a distance or have 50 . The pet becomes a family member for these people and deserves the same kind of treatment that a family member would get.‎ ‎ Many articles have appeared 51 the benefits of pets to the disabled and the elderly. In addition to the 52 services that pets may provide, such as bringing objects to their owners or helping a blind owner to walk in unfamiliar 53 , there is evidence that people who keep pets live 54 than those who don't have pets. In a real sense, these pets are caring for their 55 like family members would, and for this reason, they should be treated like family.‎ ‎ At every 56 in life we interact with our pets in the same ways that we interact with family. Children, young married couples, and elderly people have 57 to treat their pets like family members.‎ ‎38. A. agree B. explain C. doubt D. demand ‎39. A. turn to B. pay attention to C. live with D. keep up with ‎40. A. teach B. advise C. force D. allow ‎41. A. looking at B. taking notice of C. learning from D. taking care of ‎42. A. strict B. kind C. brave D. curious ‎43. A. treat B. serve C. trust D. respect ‎ ‎44. A. traditional B. quick C. similar D. good ‎ ‎45. A. new B. smart C. ill D. single ‎ ‎46.
