I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.‎ As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She'd been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child's language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.‎ I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.‎ ‎"You should have seen her today!" His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn't interrupt. "See that climber." He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. "Well, every day since she started school, she's tried and failed to make it to the top." He took a breath. "And today she did it!”‎ He expressed his joy just as he'd witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! "She cheered and celebrated! I wish I'd recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.‎ As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn't before. I saw her perseverance（毅力）, I saw her strength. I saw a hero.‎ Everyday greatness celebrates ordinary people who do unusual things in big and small ways, showing courage, kindness, love and selflessness.

D. The Internet.‎ C In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.‎ The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.‎ This isn’t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical（关键的） for developing ‎ important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.‎ But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal（联邦政府的） minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.‎ There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.‎ ‎8. According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________.‎ A. they throw parties a lot B. they stay up late every night C. they work besides attending classes D. they pay no attention to exams ‎9. What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?‎ A. The need of developing social networks. ‎ B. The lack of summer jobs for young adults.‎ C. The chance of finding a job after graduation. ‎ D. The expenses of high tuition and living costs.‎ ‎10. We can learn from the passage that _________.‎ A. working students are more likely to finish college B. students can cover their college expenses through working C. students receive a huge reward for managing work and class D. working while attending school may not help students get career benefits ‎11. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance C. The Reward of Working While Studying D. The Images of Working College Students D Scientists, psychologists and English academics at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of the classical writers like Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a great effect on the mind, catches the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self-examination.‎ ‎    Using a special machine, they monitored the brain activity of 30 volunteers as they read works by William Shakespeare, William Wordsworth, T.S. Eliot and others.‎ ‎    In the first part of the research, the brain activity of 30 volunteers was monitored as they read passages from Shakespeare’s plays, including King Lear, Othello, Coriolanus and Macbeth, and again as they read the text rewritten in a simpler form or modern language.‎ ‎    While reading the common texts, normal levels of electrical activity were shown in their brains. When they read the works of Shakespeare, however, the levels of activity jumped because of his use of words which were unfamiliar to them. The result of the test showed that the more challenging passages cause a greater degree of electrical activity in the brain than the common ones.‎ ‎    Scientists went on to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and recorded how it lit up as the readers came across unusual words, surprising phrases or difficult sentences in the classical works. As a result, this lightening up process of the mind lasted longer than that when volunteers read common texts, encouraging further reading.‎ ‎    The research also found that reading poetry especially increases activity in the right hemisphere(半球) of the brain, an area connected with “autobiographical memory”, driving the readers to think carefully about their own experiences based on what they have read. The academics said this meant the classical works of literature are more useful than self-help books.‎ ‎    Philip Davis, an English professor who has worked on the study in the university’s magnetic resonance center, announced this week: “Classical literature acts like a rocket-booster（火箭加速器） to the brain, which provides extra power for the brain. You may never imagine how powerful it is. The research shows such kind of literature can create new thoughts and connections in the young and the old.”‎ ‎12.The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “______”.‎ A. depends on B. picks up C. sets off D. changes into ‎13.Which of the following is NOT true about reading classical literature?‎ A. It makes readers’ brain more active than reading common texts.‎ B. It makes readers’ electrical activity of brain return to normal.‎ C. It’s helpful for readers to come up with new ideas.‎ D. It’s an activity that is suitable for people of all ages.‎ ‎14.From the research, we can learn that ______.‎ A. the readers prefer Shakespeare’s works to the other writers’ works B. the words of classical works make it hard for volunteers to read further C. reading classical works produces a good and long-lasting effect on the mindD. poetry increases left-brain activity more than other literary forms ‎15.What does the author mainly tell us in this passage?‎ A. Shakespeare’s plays deserve to be read. ‎ B. Common books are unpopular anymore. C. Poetry is best for developing people’s brain. ‎ D. Classical works help the brain develop better.‎ 第二节 七选五（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ How to Become a Top Student ‎ ‎ Successful students use different techniques to study, which brings them more success. 16 Here are the four techniques almost all top-performing students use.‎ ‎ They are regular. Almost all successful students study regularly, because they know “what you give is what you get”. If you put in regular ‎ hours of studying, then you will learn more and get better grades. 17 This will help you to study regularly. ‎ ‎ They have clear goals. All top-performing students have definite, specific goals. 18 They motivate you and drive you to study more. But make sure that you do not get carried away. Set realistic goals which can challenge you, but do not seem impossible or too difficult to achieve. ‎ ‎ They study without strain (压力). Successful students study a lot. But they study without putting strain on themselves. Most students make the mistake of studying too hard or studying continuously for a long time. 19 Studying should be done in a balanced manner. Take a break for a few minutes, after studying for 30 or 45 minutes. Relax, walk around your room or house, or drink some water and return to studying. Such short breaks will refresh your brain and you will learn more.‎ ‎ 20 Studying is not something you do just because your parents ask you to do it. It’s actually very important for you. Studying gives you knowledge and skills that will remain with you for the rest of your life. It gives you the ability to get a job and earn money. And successful students recognize the value of studying well. ‎ A. This creates tension and actually slows down learning and memory. ‎ B. But to score high grades in English, you should make well-planned efforts.‎ C. Set aside some hours, each day or each week, for studying. ‎ D. Having such goals gives you a purpose to study better. ‎ E. Learn their techniques, and you will also join their rank.‎ F. They finish their homework on time. ‎ G. They give importance to study.‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ Growing up in a military family, I moved a lot.

I began to talk to him about little things outside of school life, such as his weekend 47 (activity) and things that he liked to do. I also listened 48 (close) to him.
