She's a scientist at Oakland University, after many different jobs in between.‎ Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our career.Many people are attending a program called “secondskilling”．When we lose our job, having other skills can give us more choices.We can also choose to take on different responsibilities within the same organization.‎ A Dutch university employee enriched her career thanks to her gaming skill.She became the community manager of the university's online courses.We can never tell where our skill will lead us or where it will come in handy.‎ Oakley offers many tips that make learning more efficient (高效的)．In order to absorb information, our brains need periods of focus followed by periods of mindwandering.So learners will actually learn more if they have the time for rest and relaxation.We should also experiment with different levels of background sound to achieve best focus.Quiet leads to deeper focus, while mild background sound may encourage creative thinking.Research is ‎ now exploring what learning looks like in the brain and it's bad news for those who loved to cram (突击准备考试)．The brain can only build so many neurons (神经元) each night; regular practice is important.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。人类是热爱学习的，只要坚持不懈，方法得当，终能学有所用。‎ ‎1．What is the biggest barrier to our learning according to Barbara Oakley?‎ A．Our low life goals.　　　B．Our passive beliefs.‎ C．Our personal interest. D．Our learning disability.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，Oakley认为我们学习中的最大障碍就是自己的消极意识：认为自己不擅长或是年纪大了不适合作改变就不去学习了。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?‎ A．Failed. B．Rejected.‎ C．Attended. D．Enjoyed.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在语境可知，Oakley数学和科学学得不好，家人不同意她选择科学专业，但她还是顶住压力勇敢追求自己的梦想，最后成为知名大学的科学家。由此可推知，flunk意为“(考试、测验等)失败，不及格”。‎ ‎3．What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 4?‎ ‎ A．The surprises brought by secondskilling.‎ B．The wide choices coming with more skills.‎ C．The necessity of learning professional skills.‎ D．The benefits of keeping learning to our career.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段内容特别是第一句“Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our career.”可知，作者在这一段通过具体的事例表明不断的学习有助于我们事业的发展。‎ ‎4．Which of the following tips would Oakley agree with?‎ A．Study in a quiet environment.‎ B．Keep focused for being efficient.‎ C．Stay up for an exam when needed.‎ D．Include relaxation in the learning process.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In order to absorb information ...have the time for rest and relaxation.”可知，Oakley赞成学习一段时间后要放松一下。‎ B My daughter was in Grade 10 in high school.Her life had been followed by her dyslexia (阅读障碍)．‎ She battled with her schoolwork and her teachers in high school.Her math teacher, seemingly the only teacher who understood and empathized with her dyslexia, unexpectedly offered to read her the questions in a math exam.As a result, she got a previously unheardof B for math.The act of one thoughtful teacher had, perhaps for the first time in my daughter's public life, made her heart open to enjoy life to the full, and she could now start to believe in herself and her abilities.‎ I could of course want to contact and thank the math teacher.I phoned the school and when I asked to speak to the math teacher, I received a very guarded “why” from the receptionist who had long been the gatekeeper, fending off (抵 挡) angry parents for teachers.The surprise in her voice was obvious when I replied “I want to thank him”．“Oh ...of course, just a moment，” she responded.The teacher came on the line with the same sense of caution, knowing only that a parent was on the line.I said, “I just want to thank you for reading the questions to my daughter for her math exam.Not only did she get a B but you have no idea the positive impact your action has had on my daughter's selfbelief and hopes for her future.”‎ My daughter's struggles with dyslexia continue to this day.However, she is now an experienced fullyqualified worker who believes in herself and has helped many people in Family and Youth Care Organization.Doing something positive to help a person will make you feel good.Of far greater importance, however, it might change the life of the person you helped and, through his/her renewal, impact positively on the lives of hundreds of other people.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的女儿有阅读障碍，数学老师的一次善意举动使她考出了好成绩，并且获得了自信。现在，她开始传递爱心，在工作岗位上帮助更多的人。‎ ‎5．What can we infer about the math teacher?‎ A．He is brave and intelligent.‎ B．He is patient and sympathetic.‎ C．He is friendly and respectable.‎ D．He is generous and kindhearted.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“Her math teacher, seemingly the only teacher who understood and empathized with her dyslexia”可知，在学校只有数学老师理解并同情作者女儿的阅读障碍；并结合数学老师在一次考试中帮她读试卷上的问题这件事可以推知，数学老师是一位有耐心和同情心的人。‎ ‎6．Why was the receptionist cautious when the author telephoned?‎ A．The author

playing basketball at a neighborhood court or taking tennis classes at a local fitness club.But for some, sports mean something different: skydiving (跳伞) from an airplane thousands of feet above ground or snowboarding down the steepest of hills.Such sports are called extreme sports.Extreme sports are activities, mostly practiced by young people that involve great speed or height, present a certain element (元素) of danger, and require specialized equipment.And they are practiced by individuals who, rather than helping a team to win victory, push themselves to their own physical limits, overcoming personal and environmental obstacles (障碍) to achieve a personal goal.‎ Extreme sports give people the chance to do what they want.For example, instead of going scuba diving, which focuses on safety and the proper use of equipment, why not try and reach great underwater depths without the assistance of breathing equipment, a sport known as “freediving”？‎ The X Games, held every summer and winter, are the Olympics of extreme sports.They are viewed by millions of people worldwide, and some of the athletes' faces might also be seen in Olympic events, like snowboarding or ski jumping.Fewer young people take up baseball or football, and many are in favor of sports like cave diving, kite surfing, or bungee jumping.‎ Extreme sports are big business, because they have become so popular.Corporations have realized that they can make a lot of money by buying expensive advertising time during the X Games or hiring a wellknown athlete to advertise a product.Extreme sports fashion has also become a huge moneymaker for corporations.The loose clothing by bigname ‎ designers, along with the accessories (装饰品) such as sunglasses, hats, and gloves, are expensive, lending weight to the argument that extreme sports have gone with the greed of large companies.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。极限运动是一项可以最大限度地发挥自我身心潜能，向自身挑战的娱乐体育运动，悄然成为都市青年最流行、最持久的时尚运动。‎ ‎8．What do we know about extreme sports?‎ A．They are popular with every age group.‎ B．They are friendly to the environment.‎ C．They can guarantee people's safety.‎ D．They are generally not team sports.‎

fashion?‎ A．Unconcerned.　　　　　　B．Approving.‎ C．Unfavorable. D．Optimistic.‎ 解析：选C　作者态度题。根据最后一段的“lending weight to the argument that extreme sports have gone with the greed of large companies”可知，作者对极限运动风气并不赞同。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Curling (冰壶) is a winter sport played on ice.Therefore, it's most popular in northern countries like Canada.Curling is played in the USA by about 15,000 people.__1__ Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment.So people began making a sport out of sliding heavy stones on the frozen lakes.The game spread, and in the 1700s curling clubs formed.Then Scottish soldiers brought it to North America.‎ ‎__2__ Men, women, and children often compete on the same team, if they can slide a fortypound stone down the ice! Both teams slide their stones toward the same goal.After all 16 stones have been cast, the team whose stone has slid closest to the goal gets one point.‎ ‎__3__ The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment ‎ in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.__4__Water helps the stone slide, but it can also change the stone's path.‎ In curling, a broom is part of each player's equipment.A good curler must know how much force to use.The player must know the exact conditions of the ice on the court.__5__ That may explain why the international Olympic Committee decided to make curling an Olympic sport in 1998.‎ A．Players compete on the court.‎ B．Then the play begins in the other direction.‎ C．Curling is played by teams of four people.‎ D．In other words, a good curler must be a fine athlete.‎ E．The rules are easy to learn, but playing the game is hard.‎ F．The melting of the ice makes things tough for the curlers.‎ G．Curling probably began in Scotland in the 1500s or earlier.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了一项奥林匹克运动项目——冰壶。1.选G　根据下文的“Scottish winters were long and there were few forms of entertainment.So people began making a sport”可推知，此处是概述冰壶的历史渊源，所以选G项。‎ ‎2．选C　根据本段的整体内容可知，本段主要讲的是冰壶的具体操作规则，故选C项。‎ ‎3．选E　上段讲的是冰壶的操作规则，本段讲的是冰壶的操作规则学起来容易，但具体操作起来并非易事，所以选E项来承上启下。‎ ‎4．选F　根据“The ice is so smooth and the stone is so heavy that even the smallest misjudgment in a throw can make the stone slide much too far or stop too suddenly.”可推知，冰壶在实际操作中并非易事，与选项F呼应，所以选F项。并且F项中的“The melting of the ice”与空后的“Water”呼应。‎ ‎5．选D　根据下文的“That may explain why ...in 1998.”可推知，一个好的冰壶球员必须是一个好的运动员，所以选D项。‎
