One day, as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking at the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom(in French). “They’re good!” I knew it was French, because I can speak and understand it.‎ Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them, but then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together. I was sure she was blind.‎ Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits. The son made sure the fruits ‎ were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.‎ Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before. It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits, as the two kids did.‎ It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language. This is what I regret to this day.‎ 24. The woman and her kids came to the market to buy ____.‎ A. fruits B. vegetables C. candies D. toys 25.

They are likely to come with larger volumes of white and gray matter in certain areas of the brain. These differences are associated(关联) with beneficial effects on cognitive function(认知功能). This is the main conclusion of a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health.‎ The study was performed among 253 schoolchildren in Spain. Lifelong exposure(接触) to green space in the living places was recorded-using the information on the children’s addresses from birth up through to the time of the study. Brain structure was studied using 3D magnetic resonance imaging(MR). Working memory and inattentiveness(注意力不集中) were graded with computers.‎ ‎“This is the first study that shows the association between long-term exposure to green space and brain structure.” says Dr. Payam Dadvand, the leading researcher of the study. “Our findings suggest that exposure to green space early in life could result in beneficial structural changes in the brain.”‎ The findings show that long-term exposure to greenness is positively associated with white and grey matter volumes in several parts of the brain. Some of them are related to higher scores on ‎ cognitive tests. Moreover, larger volumes of white and grey matter in those parts might lead to better working memory and less inattentiveness.‎ Exposure to nature has been thought to be necessary for brain development in children Another study of 2,593 children shows that children in schools with more green space have a greater increase in working memory and a greater decrease in inattentiveness.‎ Humans are believed to be tied to nature. Playing in greener areas offers children opportunities to search and learn. Accordingly. green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery. creativity and risk taking. These exercises in turn positively influence brain development.‎ Dr. Dadvand’s study suggests how such structural changes could bring about the beneficial effects of green space on cognitive development. It also adds to the proof that suggests the lasting effects of early life exposure to greenness on our health and the benefits of increasing greenness in cities.‎ Further studies are needed to prove the findings in other population, settings and climates. And researchers need to examine differences according to the nature and quality of green space.‎ 27. The second paragraph is mainly about______.‎ A. how the study was performed B. what was recorded in the study C. how long the study lasted D. who took part in the study 28. The word “prompt” in Paragraph 6 probably means “______”.‎ A. control B. encourage C. balance D. change 29. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. Working memory influences white and grey matter in the brain.‎ B. Dr. Dadvand stressed the importance of changing the environment.‎ C. Studies proved the influence of greenness on populations out of Spain.‎ D. Living in greener neighborhoods benefits children in brain development.‎ 题材 说明文 话题 科普知识（绿色空间对大脑认知的影响）‎ 词数 ‎395‎ ‎【主旨大意】本文是一篇科普文章，主要讲述了绿色空间对大脑认知的一个影响。巴塞罗那全球健康研究所通过调查在校学生发现，在生活中多接触绿色空间，对学生的认知功能有积极影响，并且增强工作记忆，减轻注意力不集中。‎ ‎27. A段落主旨归纳题。第二段主要介绍了本次调查研究是如何进行的，因此选A。‎ ‎28. B词义猜测题。 Accordingly. green space is thought to prompt important exercises in discovery. creativity and risk taking. 相应地，绿色空间被认为能在发现力、创造力和冒险中促进重要的锻炼。prompt 是促进，鼓舞的意思。control是控制， encourage 是鼓励 balance是平衡 change是改变，只有encourage的感情色彩是正面的，因此选B。 ‎ ‎29. D综合推断题。本文主要讲述了绿色空间对大脑认知的影响，文章分别从第三段、第四段、 第五段、第六段以及第七段论证该观点。D项 “居住在绿化更好的社区有助于孩子们大脑的发育”符合文意，故选D。 ‎ ‎(2018·北京中考）D We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.‎ When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get rough and difficult.‎ The only tune most of us ever learn about unlocking our self-improvement power is when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it.‎ Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s for our own good.‎ Happy people don’t just accept change, they embrace(拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.‎ Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come. she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!‎ Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three sessions in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.‎ 30. The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that _____.‎ A. we learn our lessons when we experience pain B. we are responsible for the problems we meet C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs 31. What is the key to solving Jane’s problem?‎ A. She needs to remember why she started.‎ B. She has to know how to get on with people.‎ C. She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.‎ D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence.‎ 32. The writer probably agrees that ______.‎ A. the world tells us how to improve ourselves B. people change when they find it easy to do that C. welcoming change in life is a drive to become better D. enjoying the process of self-improvement makes life simpler ‎ 33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Is it important to take things light?‎ B. Is it necessary to embrace challenges?‎ C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up?‎ D. To free ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?‎ 题材 议论文 话题 自我改善能力？‎ 词数 ‎416‎ ‎【主旨大意】本文主要谈论只有当一切变得最糟糕时，我们才会想到释放出我们自我完善能力。不管喜欢或讨厌，改变总会发生。乐观的人不仅接受改变，而且拥抱它。而Jane 总是说她没有勇气出现在人群面前，把她自己锁在屋子里。只有当我们享受释放出我们自我完善能力的过程，我们将会认识到我们开始不在乎事情，并变得开心。‎ ‎30 . A理解判断题。由第二段的三个问题“当我们的衬衫和牛仔裤不适合我们，我们才会意识到我们需要改变饮食。当我们的牙齿都掉光了，才会停止吃糖和巧克力。肺变坏了，才会意识到停止吸烟。”这三个痛苦的事情，使我们获得教训。故选A。‎ ‎31 . C 细节理解题。由“Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it! Jane 不仅相信她的故事，而且生活在其中。”可确定答案C。‎ ‎32 . C 推理判断题。由“only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy. ” 可确定答案C。‎ ‎33 . D主旨大意题。由“Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. ”。故选D。‎ ‎(2018·北京中考）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题（共10分，每小题2分）‎ When it comes to the letter grade on your test or homework. you might notice that there is no letter E. Have you ever thought about why that is so?‎ In the A, B, C, D and F grading system. the first four letters are typically considered passing grades. An F in this system simply stands for “fail”. The word “fail” happens to start with the letter F, which seems to leave out the letter E. The fact of the matter is that any letter can mean “not-passing” or “fail”. Some schools have U grade for “unsatisfactory”, or I grade for “incomplete”.‎ Even with all this said, we should also point out that E grade actually has been used pretty commonly throughout the history of letter grades in the US.‎ The first college in the US to use a letter grading system like the ones we use today is Mount Holyoke College. In 1897, they began to use the following grading scale:‎ A:95-100%(excellent) B:85-94%(good) C:76-84%(fair)‎ D:75%(barely passed) E:below 75%(failed)‎ We can see the inclusion of E instead of F.‎ Gradually, the letter grading system became more popular throughout the US. However, nay schools decided to drop the E grade and go straight to F. There is no evidence(证据) to really support this. but one possible explanation is that teachers were worried that some students and parents might mistake E for “excellent”.‎ Why do we have letter grades? Well, part of the reason is that they made grading simpler during a time of great change for schools. As the 20th century began, growing cities and an increase in immigration led to larger school classrooms. Most teachers at that time thought this new letter grading system was an easy, fair and clear way to grade students.‎ Today, more and more people argue that letter grades don’t fully reflect(反映) student learning. However. as teachers try to improve grading methods, many parents continue to favor the letter grades they got as kids. They are familiar(熟悉) and easy for parents to understand. So while they might not be perfect, the letter grades probably aren’t going away any time soon.‎ 34. What does an F stand for in the A, B, C, D and F grading system?‎ 35. When was the letter grading system first used in the US college?‎ 36. What is one possible explanation for dropping the E grade?‎ 34. What did most teachers think of the letter grading system in the 20th century?‎ 35. Why do many parents still prefer the letter grades today?‎ 题材 说明文 话题 成绩等级？‎ 词数 ‎376‎ ‎【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了成绩等级的意义及说明。不及格用“F”而不用“E”的原因是因为避免一部分家长理解为“优秀”，有的学校使用“U”或“I”。1897年曼荷莲学院第一次启用这套系统。我们用字母表示成绩，是因为他们简单、明显并且表达清晰。当然在使用过程中也有争议，有人认为等级不能反映学生的成绩，但是随着老师对于评价方法的改进，家长们逐渐熟悉并接受等级成绩，而等级成绩短期内也不会消失。‎ 33.

What’s more. I don’t spend too much money on unnecessary things and save money regularly.‎ The reason why I do so is that I want to make a difference to my life. As the old saying goes. “Waste not, want not.” I make up my mind to be thrifty as much as possible, I think everyone should take actions to stick to this virtue.‎
