Have you ever seen a kid in class who wouldn’t volunteer to read or answer a question? I was that type of student. Talking in class was a struggle for me because the fear of saying the wrong thing was always on my mind.
There were constant announcements about students in our class winning writing awards. It was a dream for me. I have always felt unsure of myself when writing. Semicolons confused me and I used too many commas. I had no idea how to cite anything. During my freshman year, the teacher would pick the best essay in our class to be read out loud, but mine was never chosen. I found it really hard to write an essay.
One teacher Mr. Wilson, who taught me the next semester, changed everything. He was in his fifties and had a reputation for having a particular teaching style. He connected writing and reading to football, but somehow it made sense. What really made him special to me was that every class he would pick someone to read their writing out loud to the class.
In one of his lessons, he said: “I will not always pick the essay that I think has the best grammar or use of vocabulary. I will pick the one that I think has the most character.” This part was confusing tome because how can writing have character? He went on to explain: “I want to read something that I can tell the writer feel a lot while writing it. I want to feel the emotions you were going through as you wrote it.”
A few weeks later, for the first time, my essay was chosen to be read to my classmates. I can’t even remember what it was about, but I remember how nervous I was to see his reaction, mixed with pride at the fact that he felt like my work was worth sharing. He gave me his comments at the end of it, but I was too nervous to remember them. After class, he told me he was excited to read more of my work.
He made me feel special in the way he led the class, and I got over my fear of sharing my work in class. He made me believe in my writing abilities and gave me the confidence to continue writing.
24. Talking in class used to be difficult for the author because __________.
A. he had never won any awards for speaking B. he didn’t know how to answer questions
C. he had no idea how to cite anything D. he was afraid of making mistakes
25. According to the author, what made Mr. Wilson different from other teachers?
A. His style of teaching. B. His love for students.

A. Mr. Wilson preferred essays with good use of vocabulary
B. the author remembered Mr. Wilson’s comments very well
C. Mr. Wilson thought the author’s passage was full of emotions
D. the author believed that his essay was worth sharing in the class

Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis (光合作用), the process of absorbing energy from light to create their own food from carbon dioxide and water. That’s why plants grow and thrive in the warmer months when there is more daylight and are dormant in the colder months.
But this process isn’t particularly efficient and only one percent of the energy contained in sunlight actually ends up in the plant, according to a news release from the University of California, Riverside. Now scientists at the university have found a way to bypass the need for natural photosynthesis and to create food by using artificial photosynthesis. This allows plants to grow in complete darkness. “With our approach we sought to identify a new way of producing food that could break through the limits normally imposed by biological photosynthesis,” corresponding author Robert Jinkerson, a UCR assistant professor of chemical and environmental engineering said in the news release.
The researchers devoted to artificial photosynthesis used a two-step electrocatalytic (電催化) process to convent CO2, water, and electricity into acetate (醋酸鹽) — the main ingredient of vinegar — that the plant organisms consumed to grow. The researchers adjusted the electrolyzer, a device that uses electricity to support the growth of food producing organisms. to come up with the highest levels of acetate ever produced by this method.
The new artificial photosynthesis method could be up to 18 times more efficient than sunlight. Experiments showed that a large range of food producing organisms could be grown using this acetate. “We were able to grow food producing organisms without any contributions from biological photosynthesis,” said Elizabeth Hann, a doctoral candidate in the Jinkerson lab and co-lead author of the study. “This technology is a more efficient method of turning solar energy into food, as compared to food production that relics on biological photosynthesis,” she said.
By eliminating the need for sunlight, he potential of this method to increase food supply in regions with less - than ideal growing conditions is almost endless, according to New Atlas.
Food will be able to be grown almost anywhere, including in space and on other planets. “Imagine someday giant vessels growing tomato plants in the dark and on Mars — how much easier would that be for future Martians?” co-author Martha Orozco-Cárdenas, director of the UCR Plant Transformation Research Center said.
While this may be years off, the potential to grow food using artificial photosynthesis has great value in feeding a hungry place where the population is growing and arable land shrinking. This new method increases the efficiency of food production using less land and minimizes the environmental impact on the planet.
28. What does the underlined word “dormant” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?
A. Fresh. B. Resting. C. Healthy. D. Normal.
29. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The process of artificial photosynthesis.
B. The contribution of natural photosynthesis.
C. The efficiency of sunlight on plant organisms.
D. The wide range of applications of artificial photosynthesis.
30. According to Martha Orozco-Cárdenas, artificial photosynthesis is .
A. accurate B. dangerous C. promising D. impractical
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Biological photosynthesis can help produce higher quality food.
B. Biological photosynthesis is more efficient in turning solar energy into food.
C. Using artificial photosynthesis may decrease the efficiency of food production.
D. Using artificial photosynthesis to grow food can reduce environmental influence.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D

Virtual reality is rapidly changing the way education is being imparted in some of the leading schools worldwide. The transfer of knowledge is no longer restricted to pen and paper, blackboard and chalk, and PowerPoint presentations. It has taken a turn towards experience-based learning in its truest form. This is so because, with virtual reality, the observers are transported into a whole new world which has been designed to provide visual and touchable stimuli to them, allowing more knowledge to be kept in mind.
In recent years, the concept of virtual reality-based language learning is starting to come into focus. In order to be fluent in any given language, or have a sound grasp of it, you have to be immersed in an environment where it is the primary medium of communication. Think of it like this. If you are learning Spanish in the Netherlands, you won’t have adequate exposure to the language, but if you choose to learn Spanish in Spain, or any other Spanish – speaking country, you are far more likely to succeed, because you will have countless avenues to practice your language skills in a real world setting.
This leads us to an important point — most people who are learning a foreign language are nor exposed to favorable linguistic conditions like the ones mentioned earlier. Virtual reality is seeking to bridge this gap by exposing the subject to a virtual environment where their chosen language is the main mode of communication.
Since the arrival of user-friendly virtual reality gear, some applications have been designed. House of Languages is one of them. It is already available on the Gear VR. It involves an animated raccoon that is looking for you to find certain objects in a virtual environment, whose names would be in the language that you are learning. Often you will hear the name, or the name will appear as a thought - bubble over the raccoon’s head. Then you will have to look through the environment to find the object in question. There are several environments in this VR experience, each with its own set of animated objects.
Virtual reality is definitely showing increasing promise in the educational sector and the day isn’t far away when it will become one of the major media in education. What about you? Would you learn a new language in virtual reality?
32. Why does the author mention learning Spanish in the Netherlands in Paragraph 2?
A. To state that traveling is helpful for language learning.
B. To stress the importance of the language learning environment.
C. To show that some virtual reality applications are available for language learning.
D. To inform us of the favorable learning environment for Spanish in the Netherlands.
33 How does the author develop the passage?
A. By giving examples and using quotation.
B. By stating the definition and showing facts.
C. By presenting an opinion and listing figures.
D. By analyzing the problem and providing a solution.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of virtual reality in education?
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B

第一節(jié)(共4小題;第40、41題各2分,第42題3分,第43題5分,共12分)
閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問(wèn)題。
Most companies use advertising to promote their brands, sell their products, and increase their income. For years, businesses have used different strategies in advertising to sell their products or services through written or visual messages.
When creating advertisements, companies tend to design some parts that appeal to our emotions or can be connected to our own lives. This is called memorable advertising. Our brains often pay attention to those parts that appeal to our emotions and forget about the rest of the information we see. So, one way to make memorable advertising is by adding an emotional or personal aspect to the most important part of the advertisement. As a result, there is a greater chance that viewers will remember that. If the scenes that appeal to our emotions manage to, at the same time, highlight the brand and its benefits, viewers will be more likely to build a connection with the brand, which can increase sales.
A good example is an advertisement from a leading consumer goods company. The advertisement showed people of all ages and from all parts of the world. In the advertisement, an artist drew pictures of what people thought they looked like — and compared those pictures to pictures of what their friends thought they looked like. This showed that people often perceive themselves negatively compared with reality — usually people criticize their looks too much. The advertisement encouraged people to see the positives in their looks, rather than the negatives. In this way, the advertisement triggered very strong emotional responses, achieved attention worldwide, and so made more people remember it.
Another way to make memorable advertising is by creating a fictional character that represents the brand. Think of the Michelin Tire Man. The human-like figure consists of stacked white tires. The mascot gives customers a friendly, fun personality to connect and build a relationship with. It is much easier to connect with the friendly fat man than with a faceless tire company.
40. What is memorable advertising?
___________________________________________________________
41. According to the passage, what are the two ways to make memorable advertising?

___________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Memorable advertising can appeal to our emotions or can be connected to our own lives.
41. By adding an emotional or personal aspect to the most important part of the advertisement and creating a fictional character that represents the brand.
42. In the advertisement of a leading consumer goods company, it encouraged people to see their negative aspects and triggered very strong emotional responses. The advertisement encouraged people to see the positives in their looks, rather than the negatives.
43. Yes. Advertisements can always attract people to buy products through exquisite designs and beautiful models. Advertising can give people the illusion that by buying the product, you can live a better life or become as beautiful as a model.

Advertisements can always attract people to buy products through exquisite designs and beautiful models. Advertising can give people the illusion that by buying the product, you can live a better life or become as beautiful as a model.
