She looked at me directly and made me to the whiteboard to perform a division (除法) problem. Division was my weakest subject. I repeatedly put the numbers in the 37 places, or forgot to add in the zeros.I worriedly 38 myself out of my seat. With every slow step I took, I grew more nervous. My stomach ached, and my whole body shook with 39 . The teacher read the problem aloud. Unsure of myself, I looked at the girl beside me, and tried to 40 what she was writing, but she went faster than I could understand, writing down what seemed to be foreign symbols.My eyes fixed on the chicken scratch I had tried. Impossible to understand. Why me? Why couldnt I work out the problem that seemed easy to all other kids? These questions filled my head.As the other girl finished and danced back to her seat, I wrote some random (胡乱的) numbers on the board, and 41 back to mine. The teacher read over our work.“Now, class, Susie did this problem absolutely correctly.”“As for Tara,” the teacher said jokingly, “I dont even know what she did.”The class burst into laughs, and I felt my face turn red as I tried to sink as low as possible into my seat, hoping to prevent them from 42 me at all. But this memory is one I remember, surprisingly, in a positive way. It made me 43 , and gave me persistence. When I get a poor grade in school, or am put down by somebody, I think of that moment and every single one of those 44 that I asked myself. The terrible ache in my stomach es back and gives me the motivation to answer all of those whys and try hard until perfection, or as close as I can get.37. A. properB. incorrectC. specialD. unimportant 38. A. liftedB. droppedC. repairedD. knocked39. A. tirednessB. excitementC. shynessD. fear 40. A. accept B. explainC. copy D. describe41.

I had to go to a new school and found no one to be friends with because I wasnt interested in the topics most of my classmates liked. “Maybe Ill never have real friends,” I thought. I closed my eyes and imagined playing my drums. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a guitar. I followed the sound and found out that was a band. I recognized the guitar player at my first sight and so did he.“Hey, youre Cassie from my class!” his voice surprised me.“Im sorry,” I said. “I just havent heard any live music in this town before! You sound great did you guys write that song?”“Yeah well, were still working on it. Im Matt.” He stood up and held out his hand. “Mind if I listen in?” I asked in a low voice. “Not at all,” Matt said, smiling. “Maybe you can give us some suggestions!” The song was pretty good and I could really improve it with my drum skills. Behind my drum set was the one place I felt pletely like myself. But I wasnt sure if I wanted to open that door to the world.“Hey, do you play drums?” Matt asked suddenly. His question surprised me. How did he know? And then I followed his eyes to my hands, which had been beating a rhythm (节奏) on the floor. I tried to say no, but my heart stopped me from refusing. “Sure, Ive been playing for a few years,” I said finally.“Oh, wow! Youve got to join us!” Matt said. “I have some drums over here.” I looked at their shiny faces. “Absolutely. I would love to play!” I replied. “One, two, three, four!” Matt counted and began singing, and I knew I was finally home.48. When the writer first went to a new school, she _.A. joined a music clubB. had no close friends C. could play the guitarD. developed a new hobby49. How did the writer feel when Matt asked if she played drums?A. Surprised.B. Scared.C. Worried. D. Excited.50. The writer said she was finally home because _. A. she learned to play the drumsB. she decided to leave the townC. she loved her home very muchD. she made some friends finallyCNowadays, many teens are badly addicted to using phones. It probably wont surprise you that teens are texting more than ever before. Instead of sleeping, Kenny Alarcon, 16, often texts with his friends through the night. Frances Garcia, a high school senior, sends and receives about 1000 texts each day. Both Frances and Kenny wake up several times during the night to text. Kenny even sleeps with his phone beneath his pillow. Dr. Elizabeth Dowdell, a professor at Villanova University in Pennsylvania, says that its mon for teens to be interrupted by texts while sleeping. “If they often lose sleep,” Dr. Dowdell says, “teens may bee angry, or depressed. A lack of sleep can lead to weight gain and even obesity because many people turn to junk food for quick energy when they are tired.” Some experts are worried about how texting is affecting teenagers lives. One concern is that students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if most of the writing they do is made up of text messages. Some people also worry that teens dont spend enough time talking with others face-to-face, which could be hurting their relationships with friends and family. Moreover, all that texting takes away hours that could be spent studying, exercising, taking up a hobby, or just relaxing. According to Dr. Dowdell, teens need to learn that they can and should turn off their phones sometimes. She had Kenny and Frances do an experiment. These were the rules: No phone for 48 hours. No puter or Internet either, unless it was for schoolwork. After 48 phone-free hours, Kenny and Frances were interviewed. “Wow, it was pure torture (折磨),” Kenny joked. Kenny missed his friends, and he was sad at times. But he also felt relief from the constant texting. He spent time reading books and talking with his family, which he really enjoyed. Frances had an even happier result. “I loved it!” she said, “I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball. I had a wonderful experience.” Frances decided to continue the experiment for a while. “I think Ill be so much smarter and healthier,” she explained, “everybody in the world should try it.” 51. If teens keep waking up to text while sleeping, they may _.A. get overweightB. bee happierC. disturb their parentsD. feel more relaxed52. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. Mistakes in teens text writing.B. Time wasted on meaningless texting.C. Worries about how texting affects teens.D. Encouragement to teens talking face-to-face. 53. The writer mentions the experiment on Frances and Kenny to _.A. advise people what to do without phonesB. show teens can live well without phones C. explain phones are important in teens livesD. introduce how they make good use of phonesDMindfulness MattersmeditationIn recent years, some schools have begun to introduce meditation, or mindfulness training, into their classrooms. During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overe anxiety (焦虑), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach meditation, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overe stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness education program designed to help students overe anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they pleted the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous (严谨的) enough. Associate Professor Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every students school day. Participating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.54. Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?A. To control students working memory.B. To reduce students stress and anxiety.C. To increase students attendance rates.D. To research students thoughts and feelings.55. What can we learn from the passage?A. Mindfulness training is not a valuable use of class time at school.B. Mindfulness training is more productive than other school activities.C. Students felt more stressful after joining yoga classes three times a week.D. Students paid closer attention in class after weeks of mindfulness practice.56. The words “a lot of bang for your buck” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_”.A. challengesB. plaintsC. advantagesD. influences57. The writer probably agrees that _.A. further studies will prove the benefits of mindfulness trainingB. students will bee more talented with mindfulness trainingC. doctors will do researches on the spread of mindfulness trainingD. mindfulness training decides students mental and physical health七、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）Can you imagine a world without a writing system for your language? It may be hard to picture it now, but a man named Sequoyah lived in such a world. Sequoyah was a member of a native American tribe, the Cherokee. Cherokee people speak their own language, but for hundreds of years they did not have a system of writing. Without a writing system, the Cherokee had no newspapers or books before 1809.Sequoyah was probably born around the year 1770 and lived with his mother in a small village in the mountains of Tennessee. When he grew up, he became a blacksmith. When he was doing business with those “English-speaking people”, he noticed that they used paper with marks to record their thoughts and ideas. Sequoyah called these pieces of paper with marks “talking leaves”. He began to wonder why people who spoke Cherokee did not have a way to write down their words.In 1809, Sequoyah decided to give the Cherokee their own “talking leaves”. At first he tried to make a different symbol for every word in the Cherokee language. But in that case, there would be so many symbols and too hard for people to remember, so he decided to make a picture for each syllable (音节). After much hard work, Sequoyah invented 85 symbols. In order to see whether it would work, he helped his six-year-old daughter Ayoka learn each symbol and found she could learn to read and write very quickly. Sequoyahs invention was a success!Before long, Sequoyahs writing system had spread far and wide. Cherokee people living in all different parts of the country learned to read and write. In 1825, Sequoyahs system was made the official written language for Cherokee people. To this day, Cherokee speakers still use Sequoyahs writing system. In some parts of the United States, you can see street signs and billboards written in both English and Cherokee. Sequoyah will always be remembered for his important contribution to Cherokee people.58. Did the Cherokee have newspapers before 1809? 59. What did Sequoyah call the pieces of paper with marks? 60. How many symbols did Sequoyah invent in the Cherokee language?61. When was Sequoyahs system made the official written language?62.
