But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”‎ ‎ -----Albert Einstein ‎ If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means ,combined with her communication challenges and sight problems , that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.‎ ‎ By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville‎ , ‎Florida ,who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them ‎ much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation ). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly, ” he said . All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers. ‎ ‎ Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.‎ ‎ I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home .We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success. ‎ Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact , he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.‎ ‎24.What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?‎ A. Funny B. True C. Strange D. Confusing ‎25. What can we learn about Chris Ulmer ?‎ A. He praises his students one by one B. He is Syona’s favorite teacher C. He use videos to teach his students D. He asks his students to help each other ‎26.Syona felt very pleased because_____.‎ A. she has developed a cool attitude B. her progress was appreciated by her parents C. her mother knew what she expressed D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate ‎27.What change has taken place in the author’s family？‎ A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home B. They visit Umer’s classroom regularly ‎ C. They feel grateful to people in their lives D. They give each other praise every day ‎ C New Orleans‎, ‎Louisiana‎, was established as part of the French Empire in 1718.‎ Its location on the east bank of the Mississippi River gave it control of the American hinerland and it became strategically important to many nations. It was transferred from France to Spain, returned to France, and finally sold by Napoleon to the United States in 1803. The city was the site of a famous battle fought in 1815 between the British, who hoped to control it, and the Americans under General Andrew Jackson.‎ The riverbed of the Mississippi is constantly silting（淤积）and the river is now actually higher than the city. Levees hold back the river and giant pumps are used to move water from the city into the river.‎ Although New Orleans has been a part of the United States for almost two centuries, its population takes great pride in its French heritage. Louisiana still retains parts of the Code Napoleon which, for many years, was its only law.‎ New Orleans‎ is carefree city and it boasts its hot, spicy Creole seafood and its native Dixieland Jazz. The Jackson Square neighborhood maintains its French colonial homes and in other sections are pre-Civil War mansions. Visitors are surprised to find that behind this interesting surface of yesteryear is a busy industrial and port city. Grain and coal come from the Midwest and foreign goods are unloaded here. New Orleans is no longer a sleepy Southern town----but it's still fun to visit.‎ ‎28. The battle of New Orleans was fought by Jackson against______.‎ A. France B. Britain C. Spain D. The North ‎29. According to the passage, the Code Napoleon was _______.‎ A. an agreement to sell Louisiana B. a body of laws C. a city plan D. a military code for the army ‎30. Which of the following elements does not apply to the attitude of the citizens of New Orleans?‎ A. Pride in their French heritage. B. A desire to retain colonial buildings.‎ C. A refusal to engage in trade and commerce D. A praising of Dixieland Jazz.‎ ‎31. Tourists visiting New Orleans are surprised to encounter _____.‎ A. Creole food B. Dixieland jazz C. a busy city D.authentic colonial homes D There are countless short videos on YouTube. It’s a website for people to post video made by themselves. Many people make a lot of money through doing so. Then, who made the most over the past year?‎ YouTube’s top-earning celebrity is a 25-year-old video-game-playing young man who shows a strong sense of humor in his videos. He earned $12 million over the past year. Forbes magazine says Sweden's Felix Kjellberg, better known by his handle "PewDiePie", tops its first list of people who have turned short videos into huge piles of cash.‎ YouTube stars make money mainly by getting paid to interact with products on their channels and sharing ad revenue(收入) with YouTube. Some also star in movies, write books, go on tour, or sell music. They're a hit with younger audiences and brands trying to reach the next generation of consumers.‎ Two acts tied for the second place on Forbes' list, both earning $8.5 million: comedy prankster(搞恶作剧的人) duo Smosh(Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla) and the Fine Brothers(Benny and Rafi Fine). Dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling ranked fourth with $6 million. Tied for fifth were comedians Rhett and Link(made of Rhett McLaughlin and Charles Lincoln III) and video game commentators(解说员) Olajide Olatunji, known as "KSI," with $4.5 million. Make-up artist Michelle Phan was seventh at $3 million. The No. 8 place was a three-way tie at $2.5 million shared by comedian Lilly Singh, or "Superwoman;" prankster Roman Atwood; and chef Rosanna Pansino.‎ Forbes is best known for its list of billionaires and this list marks its first attempt at ranking YouTube stars. It says it measured earnings before management fees and taxes and came up with the figures based on data from online sources such as Nielsen, IMDb and interviews with managers, lawyers, industry insiders and the stars themselves.‎ ‎32.How do the audience most probably find Felix Kjellberg while watching his video?‎ A. Touching B. Puzzling C. Amusing D. Shocking ‎33.How do YouTube stars make money?‎ A. By getting part of ad revenue B. By selling movies C. By showing on tours D.

The Fine Brothers ‎35.What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Famous YouTube stars B. Works of YouTube stars C. Earnings of YouTube stars D.

Then, how can we know what the future will look like? 36 The world has changed a lot in the past 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved.‎ ‎ 37 No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.‎ But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: first we need to start to think about what kind of future we’d like for ourselves and to pass on the next generation. 38 ‎ How about the virtual worlds? It might be possible in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. 39 So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it's not real.‎ ‎ 40 What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there'll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.‎ A. So what will the future look like then?‎ B. Will this change in the next 150 years?‎ C. Predicting the future can help us in many ways.‎ D. However, you'll never get the feeling of being there.‎ E. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.‎ F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn't happen for real.‎ G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Fouryearold Cris lived with his cruel father, who beat him when he would not earn money to 41 his alcohol and drugs .Cris could no longer 42 this kind of life and decided to run away from their home.
