Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received. When you pay it forward, however,you don't repay the person who did something nice for you. Instead, you do something nice for someone else.
Recently, an inspiring note found inside a random book has inspired thousands of people to pay it forward.
Ashley Jost was shopping at Target when a book caught hex eye. The 27-year-old bought the book Girl Stop Apologizing and began reading it when she got home. After a few minutes her dog started barking so she put the book aside. When she got back, she noticed something on the ground. "A five-dollar note fell out, " Jost said.
She looked through the book, and in one of the last pages, there was a note that read, “To the person who buys this book: I am having a tough day. I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise. Go and buy a coffee, a hamburger or a face mask. Practice some self care today. Remember that you are loved, you are amazing, and you are strong -Lisa”
Jost decided to post a photo of the note and the money on Twitter and it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness.
“In that moment,I didn’t necessarily need the pick-me-up,but I feel obligated(有義務(wù))to share it, and I’m hearing back from people who did,” Jost said. “The ripple effect is pretty unbelievable.
After seeing her Twitter post, Lisa mailed Jost a card. "She said it made her cry in a good way,” Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address. Lisa wrote it had been a difficult time in her life and she just wanted "to create something positive-she never really expected this to happen the way it has.”
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The origin of"paying it forward". B. The effects of"paying it forward
C. The benefits of"paying it forward" D. The definition of"paying it forward".
5. Why did Lisa put a five-dollar note in a book?
A. To go through the hardest time in her life.
B. To cheer up the person who buys the book
C. To repay the person who did something nice
D. To set off a round of paying it forward
6. What does the underlined word "ripple" in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Edge B. Chain
C. Mass D. Side
7. Lisa posted a card to Jost to ___________.
A. make friends with Jost B. tell Jost about her story
C. express appreciation to Jost D. let Jost know what made her cry
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇記敘文。本文主要講述了Jost無意當(dāng)中在她買的書中發(fā)現(xiàn)了一張5美元的紙幣和一段振奮人心的留言。她把紙幣和留言的照片發(fā)到推特上,而后引發(fā)了連鎖反應(yīng),很多人承諾也要通過這種方式把善意傳遞下去。
【4題詳解】
段落大意題題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received.”可知,預(yù)付款是這樣一個(gè)概念:包括為某人做一些好事,以回應(yīng)代表你做的好事或你收到的禮物。由此可知,第一段講述了“預(yù)付款”的定義。故選D項(xiàng)。
【5題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“To the person who buys this book …I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise.”可知,Lisa在一本書中放了一張5美元的鈔票,以使買書的人高興起來。故選B項(xiàng)。
【6題詳解】
詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第五段中的“it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness”和第六段中的“but I feel obligated to share it”可知,人們承諾他們自己的善舉是隨機(jī)的,“我”覺得有義務(wù)去跟別人分享它。所以讓善意傳遞下去的行為就像病毒一樣延續(xù),即連鎖的。由此可知,劃線詞所在句表示“這種連鎖反應(yīng)是出乎意料的”,所以劃線詞ripple與B項(xiàng)的chain意思相近。edge effect意為“邊緣效應(yīng)”;chain effect意為“連鎖效應(yīng)”;mass effect意為“質(zhì)量反應(yīng)”;side effect意為“副作用”故選B項(xiàng)。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“She said it made her cry in a good way,’ Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address.”可知,Lisa匿名給Jost寄了一張卡片,并沒有寫回信地址,說Jost看到卡片后會(huì)讓她熱淚盈眶。由此可推知,Lisa給Jost寄卡片以表達(dá)對(duì)Jost的謝意。故選C項(xiàng)。
C
What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera? There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colorful images featuring their favorite people, places and things. Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love,” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators (館長(zhǎng)) who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective (視角) showing a different story than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated (協(xié)調(diào)) the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.
A curator is someone who collects, organizes, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their photos according to different themes.
8. What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition?
A. It promoted the students’ interest in museum management.
B. It reflected the diverse life from the students’ perspective.
C. It was established by Lauryn Tharpe and Maame Bawuah.
D. It exhibited photos featuring influential things and figure.

A mind-reading chip that lets you control a computer by just thinking has been made public at a conference in China. Named Brain Talker, the chip could be used to control computers, smart phones and other devices, its creators say. It has been jointly developed by Tianjin University and China Electronics Corporation.
This kind of brain-computer interface (接口) is designed to let a person control a computer, a smartphone or other electronic devices using his/her brainwaves alone-without needing any forms of verbal orders, movements, or button pressing. Brain interfaces would not only allow for the faster operation of various technologies, but also be used to assist people with disabilities, for example by letting an individual drive an electric wheelchair just by thinking.
“Brain-computer interfaces hold a promising future,” said Dong Ming. "The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public.
The brain decoding (解碼) chip works by picking out minor neural (神經(jīng)) electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand. “This brain-computer chip has the ability to identify minor neural electrical signals and decode their information efficiently, which can greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of brain-computer interfaces,” said Dr. Dong.
Recent technology advances have allowed researchers to develop the Brain Talker chip, so it is smaller and operates faster, more precisely and with greater efficiency than existing brain-computer interfaces. Although it is not clear exactly how the device will be worn, most brain-computer interface devices are worn on the outside of the body, rather than being fixed directly into the users’ brain. Cheng Longlong, a data scientist, said that the research team will attempt to improve the performance of the Brain Talker. One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.
12. Why do the creators develop the Brain Talker?
A. To improve the quality of a smartphone
B. To create more efficient electronic devices
C. To make the computer portable and accessible
D. To assist people to faster drive electronic devices
13. What does Dr Dong expect of the Brain Talker?
A. It has an uncertain future B. It can record people's brainwaves
C. It can be widely used by the public D. It will advance public entertainment
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. How the chip controls computer.
B. How the brain works with a computer.
C. How the brain processes information
D. How the chip picks out neural electrical signals.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The chip will be worn inside the users’ body
B. It's too challenging to improve the Brain Talk
C. The performance of the Brain Talker is satisfying
D. Some patients will benefit from the Brain Talker

【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段 “a promising future和The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public.”Brain Talker芯片提高了大腦-電腦接口技術(shù),使其變得更便攜、更可穿戴、更便于大眾使用??赏浦狣r Dong對(duì)Brain Talker的期望是被公眾廣泛的接收和使用。故選C項(xiàng)。
【14題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段“The brain decoding chip works by picking out minor neural electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand.”大腦解碼芯片的工作原理是,從大腦中提取出微小的神經(jīng)電信號(hào),并迅速將其翻譯成計(jì)算機(jī)能夠理解的形式??芍径沃饕榻B了Brain Talker這個(gè)產(chǎn)品芯片的工作原理,所以第四段的大意是芯片如何來控制電腦的。故選A項(xiàng)。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.”,可知芯片未來可以利用在醫(yī)療,教育等領(lǐng)域,所以推斷一些患者會(huì)受益于Brain Talker。故選D項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)睛】在閱讀文章中,作者常常讓讀者領(lǐng)會(huì)文章中不明確表達(dá)出來而暗含在其中的意思。這就需要讀者在閱讀過程中,在全面掌握文章所給出的信息的基礎(chǔ)上,運(yùn)用自己的知識(shí)認(rèn)真思考問題,和領(lǐng)會(huì)作者的言外之意。這種從“已知”推出“未知”的過程,就是推論,是我們閱讀過程中必須掌握的一種解題技巧。例如第二題從第三段 “a promising future和The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public. ”Brain Talker芯片提高了大腦-電腦接口技術(shù),使其變得更便攜、更可穿戴、更便于大眾使用??赏浦狣r Dong對(duì)Brain Talker的期望是被公眾廣泛的接收和使用。故選 C項(xiàng)。

Teach Children the Value of Money
As we're moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular, children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use. Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.
____16____ Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget. Then, research what things you will buy, work out which items may be better to buy. As you carry out each part of the activity, make sure to save all the receipts, and then evaluate if you managed to stay within, or broke your budget. _______17_______
Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money. _______18_______ For example, 14-year-olds are often making their own beds, so introducing a reward for such a "chore" is not a good idea, however, emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old. These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time, effort and money. Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest. _______19_______
Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children, is not only much more enjoyable for your children, but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings, interest rates, or allowances. _____20_____ That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.
A. That is one of the most important factors for learning.
B. Involve them in everyday money management activities.
C. This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.
D. Giving your child regular pocket money, big enough to cover basic wants.
E. They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.
F. Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.
G. This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. E

第二節(jié)(滿分25分)
47.閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
The doctors sent my mother home to die. As a fifteen-year survivor of breast cancer she had suffered two heart attacks when advanced cancer was found in her lung. The doctor told me sadly, "She has a few days, maybe a week. Her heart is weak and unstable. "Mom had struggled to raise three daughters while holding a full-time job, yet worked hard to maintain a warm home for her family. My plan for Mom’s final days was simple: she would live with love, and die with grace.
I took mother to my home, small but comfortable, which was a heaven to four cats and a dog. The animals had the run of my house. We equipped the bedroom with an electric hospital bed and an oxygen machine, which frightened the cats. I’d moved their furniture and the cats were annoyed. The dog, on the other hand, an immature dog with bad habits, was excited by all the changes in the house. He jumped up, barking. He is Otto who was not afraid of the hospital bed, the oxygen machine or the medical smells. Nor was he afraid of the weak woman who had scolded him. Otto jumped onto the foot of Mom's hospital bed, and stayed. With the exception of eating and using the litter box, Otto never left Mom's room.
Days passed and Mom started to rally. “Not unusual,” I was told, “a rally is often a sign of imminent death(回光返照)” I was heart-broken. But Otto would not give her up so easily. He used her improved condition to reposition himself from the foot of her bed to her side. Her thin fingers found his soft coat. He leaned into her body, as if holding tight the strings of her will to live. Though weak, she petted the dog and would not allowed me to take him. Days turned into weeks and Mom continued to fight.
Paragraph 1
Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. __ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. I found her with the head of the bed raised, reading from the newspaper, with Otto in her arms, listening adoringly. I will forever cherish the memory of Otto’s touching her face. Eventually, using a walker, Mom began to take walks through the house, followed by Otto. Where she rested, Otto rested. Where she moved, Otto shadowed. Somehow, Otto knew that during those days he became her dog child, giving her life purpose.
Paragraph 2: Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. When we saw the doctor a while ago, “I can’t believe it, Lula,” he said. “I can’t find your cancer and your heart is strong. When your daughter brought you to me, I thought you were a ship that had sailed.” Mom gives the credit to Otto, who continues to share his gift of love―a medicine more powerful than any drug a doctor could prescribe.
