题目内容

【题目】The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”

“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”

But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”

I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.

Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame others, and you play the role of victim, chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.

This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.

Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

【1】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. A friend in need is a friend indeed

B. How to make friendship last for ever

【2】The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ________.

A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor

A. improve a lot in making more friends

B. come to the right way of making friends

C. develop a better relationship with your friends

【题目】Does a 16-year-old have the ability to change the world, benefiting hundreds of thousands of people?

Olivia Hallisey should believe so. With her invention of new Ebloa test, the girl from US has become the winner of the 2015 Google Science Fair, a yearly competition for creative teenagers who want to make a difference in the world.

Hallisey’s method asks patients to put a sample of their saliva (唾液)onto a testing card. The card changes color if the person is infected with Ebloa. Present Ebloa tests can take up to 12 hours and cost $1,000. Hallisey’s method, by contrast, can be done just in 30 minutes for about $25. Moreover, the test needn’t be put in a refrigerator thanks to the silk material Olivia used to produce the testing cards.

Hallisey started working on the test one year ago when she saw Ebloa spreading across African countries. Her research was based on looking at and using previous research and her own creative ideas.

“She deserves all the praise she’s getting for her hard work, dedication, and intelligence,” said her science teacher Andrew. “Her project is very helpful for the medical diagnosis that we need in parts of the world where Ebola is most common.”

“What affects one country affects everyone,” Hallisey told CNBC. “We have to work together to find answers to the challenges that threaten global health, our environment and our world.”

【1】According to the article, Olivia’s tests .

A. use a person’s saliva, which is sorted at a low temperature

B. are less time-consuming and less expensive than current tests

C. are less time-consuming but more expensive than current tests

D. show changes in the color of blood if the person is infected

【2】Which of the fo llowing statements is TRUE?

A. Olivia’s discovery could benefit the lives of many people.

B. Olivia’s research was based on her own creative ideas.

C. Olivia set her mind on winning the 2015 Google Science Fair.

D. Olivia’s research began before the outbreak of Ebloa in Africa.

【3】What quality makes the test more convenient?

A. The material used can easily be produced in Africa.

B. The material used is easier to store in a refrigerator.

C. The material used needn’t be put in a special device.

D. The material used is common in the places where Ebloa is most comm on.

Dear Mr．Green，

I’m very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together．That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that．

Some of the columns you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea．“Cultural Express”give us a better understanding of the world．Since people from different part of the world have different values，it’s necessary to learn from each another．Besides，it is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English．

“Entertainment”is also cool! The popular singers，actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can’t miss this part．Teenagers are to fond of popular things，too．

Well，I really can’t wait to read this magazine．

Yours，

Li Ming

Some jobs require employees to work night shifts. Working the night shifts often means better money, but that also comes negative side effects.

The human body is naturally inclined（倾向于）to work during the day and sleep at night. 【1】 Your body will be able to fully adjust to this new style of rest and work. However, according to the National Sleep Foundation, constant exhaustion（疲倦） may be part of the lifestyle of working the night shift.

In addition to exhaustion from working the night shift, sleep disturbances can occur, even when your body has the opportunity to get some shut-eye during the day. 【2】 Instead of getting a full eight hours of sleep, which is what most people need, it’s typical for night shift workers to only take a long nap after their shift.

Working night shifts can also cause social and relational problems. Because many social events happen during the evening, people who work the shift miss out on important relationship-building opportunities. 【3】 When husbands or wives rarely see one another or rarely go to bed together, this will affect their communication and their marriage life.

【4】 Exhaustion, sleep problems, personal and relational issues and other health issues, over time, can lead to depression if not taken care of properly.

【5】 According to the National Sleep Foundation, you can avoid these problems by working with others during your shifts, taking naps during your shifts and setting up a support group with other employees to discuss the problems you’re facing.

A. Working night shifts can help us a lot.

B. So working the night shift will take an adjustment.

C. Doctor and nurses often work night shifts to care for their patients.

D. In the long run, this can be harmful to relationships, especially marriage.

E. What’s worse, depression is likely to occur with all of these factors.

F. Of course, you can do something to reduce the side effects of working night shifts.

G. Many people have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep during daytime hours.

【题目】Do you find it hard to memorize words? You must not be the only one. It could be 【1】(help) if you say the words aloud. But this often isn’t good in a quiet classroom.

Now, researchers from the University of Waterloo, Canada, have come up 【2】a new idea. They suggest 【3】(draw) a picture of what you are trying to memorize!

The researchers did a study 【4】(base) on the idea. They first gave a group of students some words such as “apple” or “balloon”. Then they gave the students 40 seconds, during 【5】the students could either write the words again and again, or draw a picture.

When the time 【6】(be) over, the researchers asked the students to do something else, like sing a song. After that, they gave the students 60 seconds to write down as many words 【7】they could remember. The results showed that those who drew the words did a much 【8】(good) job than those who wrote them.

So the next time you are having a hard time memorizing a word, 【9】(draw) it! No worries if you’re not good at drawing. The 【10】(research) say the quality of the drawing doesn’t matter at all.

When I first learn to write in English, I ran into much difficulties. The main problem was that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate into my own language everything which I came across while I was reading. My teacher advised myself to keep a diary. I followed his advices and put down 100 words or so each day.

Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself as I was learning to express myself with simple English. One day I wrote a story and showed to my teacher. He liked it very much that he read it to the class. All said that the story was the good one. Their words were an great encouragement to me.
