The story and the language attracted me. I found out about Shakespeare Globe Centre New Zealand (SGCNZ) and started volunteering for them when I was about 10. When I was 13, I managed to run a film project with SGCNZ.‎ I’m home-educated and a part-time correspondence student (函授生) as well. We have a drama group made up of quite a few people who are also home-educated. I’ve also joined Wellington Young Actors, a youth theatre company. There are many similarities and differences between being home-educated and attending a five-day programme. I love hearing other students’ reactions when meeting them and share my different ways of experiencing the world with them. While explaining the way I learn can be a challenge, I love helping people to understand there isn’t just one way of learning.‎ Being home-educated has offered me the freedom to have an individualized education and to pursue my passions. My education has always been about making those focuses but I do lots of the ‎ same things as people who attend five-day programs do. Shakespeare is a great approach to lots of things around English,history and the arts. I think something you learn when you perform is connection. You have to have a connection with your fellow actors, with the audience and with Shakespeare. I learn this from actually being on stage and from taking part in different Shakespeare festival programs.‎ I believe it’s the emotion in Shakespeare that makes it relevant today. You can be reading something that was written 400 years ago and be able to see parts of your life in the work as it shows you how to understand the world and explore a lot of different ideas.‎ ‎21. What can “a five-day program” be?‎ A. A film project B. A reading activity.‎ C. School education. D. Stage performance.‎ ‎22. Why does the author choose home education?‎ A. To be different from others. B. To better focus on his passions.‎ C. To enjoy more personal freedom. D. To improve his academic performance.‎ ‎23. What do we know about the author?‎ A. A famous young actor. B. A loyal program volunteer.‎ C. A home education writer. D. A devoted Shakespeare-lover.‎ B People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 and 2014. The results show that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914, Dutch men have risen from l2th place to claim top spot with an average height of 182.5cm. Larvian women, meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become the tallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm. James Bentham, a co-author of the research says the global trend is likely but once you average over whole populations, genetics plays a less key role," he added.‎ But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries of north and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Elio Riboli of Imperial College. While height increased in Uganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years, with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.‎ ‎"One reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 1980s," said Professor Alexander. The nutritional and health problems that followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children and teenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.‎ Bentham believes the global trend of increasing height has important implications. "How tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in," he said. "If we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier and more productive for decades to come."‎ ‎24. What can be learned from Paragraph I?‎ A. The increase in women's height is much bigger than men's in the last century.‎ B. The last century has seen a great increase in people's height in most countries.‎ C. Genetics plays a key role in the increase of people's height in the last century.‎ D. Dutch and Swedes are ranked first and second in height in the world nowadays.‎ ‎25. The underlined word "reversed" in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by .‎ A. slowed down. B. gone upwards. ‎ C. changed to the contrary. D. come to life again.‎ ‎26. According to the text,James Bentham suggests that .‎ A. The economic situation of some countries should be improved.‎ B . Environment protection should be attached great importance to.‎ C. The global trend of increasing height should be closely watched.‎ D. Children's proper nutrition and healthcare should be guaranteed.‎ C Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry(模仿) allows us to understand and even experience other people’s feelings. If we can’t mirror another person’s face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.‎ In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others’ facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if you’re with a friend who looks sad, you might ‎ “try on” that sad face yourself without realizing you’re doing so. In “trying on” your friend’s expression, it helps you to recognize what they’re feeling by associating it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds.‎ ‎“You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you generate some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action—you approach the person or you avoid the person,” Niedenthal says. “Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your idea of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means.”‎ A person’s ability to recognize and “share” others’ emotions can be prevented when they can’t mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from paralysis from birth, because if you’ve never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed alternative ways of interpreting emotions.‎ People with social disorders associated with mimicry or emotion-recognition damage, like autism(自闭症), can experience similar challenges. “There are some symptoms in autism where lack of facial mimicry may in part be due to limitation of eye contact,” Niedenthal says.‎ Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders.‎ ‎27. According to the passage, facial mimicry helps __________.‎ A. experience one’s own feelings clearly B. change others’ emotions quickly C. respond to others’ expressions properly D. develop friendship with others easily ‎28. We can know from Paragraph 4 and 5 that __________.‎ A. people with motor diseases may also suffer from autism B. people born with facial paralysis may still recognize emotions C. people with social disorders can’t have eye contact with others D. people receiving plastic surgery have difficulty in mimicking faces ‎29. According to Niedenthal, the next step of the study will focus on __________.‎ A. how we can treat brain disorders B. what can be done to regain facial mimicry C. how our brain helps us with emotional mirroring D. what part of our brain helps recognize facial expression ‎30. The passage is written to ____________.‎ A. discuss how people react positively to others’ smiles B. draw people’s attention to those with social disorders C. introduce a new trend in facial expression recognition D. explain how emotional mirroring affects people’s empathy 第二节 (共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Most of us have been there: Families can be very difficult, and family problems are very painful. However, how you approach the family member and what you say can make a difference. 31‎ Schedule a time to talk as a group. Facing and overcoming family problems can seem impossible. When you work together, however, solving family differences becomes possible. The first step is agreeing that there is a problem in the first place. 32 Make everyone aware that you want them to arrive with suggestions and solutions ready.‎ Focus on the issue at hand. When disagreements occur, people tend to bring up other problems they have ever had with the other parties. 33 Make efforts to uncover what is actually important about the current problem. Building a case or bringing up old misdeeds will not assist you in resolving this issue.‎ ‎34 To reach an agreement during a family conflict, listening is important. Only by actively listening to each party can you understand what he is trying to communicate. Active listening involves allowing the other to speak without interruptions and expressing what was said afterwards to ensure you understood correctly.‎ Decide on a solution together. Once everyone has shared their needs and concerns, then strive for a compromise. Consider all the suggestions that each party has provided and look for a ‎ solution. 35 If necessary, develop a written agreement outlining how you will manage the problem.‎ A. Seek some professional advice.‎ B. Listen to others without interrupting.‎ C. This has a bad effect on conflict resolution.‎ D. Have everyone state what they really want to say.‎ E. Schedule a meeting when it is convenient for everyone.‎ F. Everyone present there should feel good about the solution.‎ G. So it's important to learn some effective problem-solving skills.‎ 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小趣；每小越1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ I had reached the age of twenty-eight.

The color of the sky was changing, first light gray, then dark gray, and finally dark and dense. The wind was blowing heavily, and the trees were swaying in the strong wind. It began to rain cats and dogs. Soon, the road was filled with puddles from the rain.‎ In such a stormy afternoon, My mother took my five-year-old brother, Christopher, and me to a new big toy store she had read about in the newspaper. "So many toys,“ the advertisement had shouted in full and flashy color, “ that we had to get a huge warehouse to fit them all!”‎ Christopher and I couldn't have been more excited. We ran across the parking lot, through the cold and biting rain, as fast as our little legs could carry us. We left our mother outside to battle with the frustrating umbrella, which never worked when she wanted it to. "Christine! Take care of your young brother!“ Mother shouted at the top of her voice.‎ ‎“Christine! I'm going to find the Lego section(乐高积木区）！There's a new pirate ship I want, and I have four dollars! Maybe I can buy it!“ Christopher exclaimed and ran off excitedly. I only half heard him. I took a right turn and, to my wide-eyed delight, found myself in the midst of the Barbie(芭比）World.‎ I was studying a Barbie and doing some simple math in my head when suddenly an earthshaking clap of thunder roared from the storm outside. I jumped at the noise, dropping the doll to the floor. The lights flickered(闪烁）once and died, covering everything in a blanket of blackness. Thunder continued to shake the sky and lightning illuminated the store for seconds, casting frightening shadows on my mind.‎ 注意：1．所续写的短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Para 1:‎ ‎“Oh no,” I thought, “Where’s Christopher?” ___________________________________________________________________________‎ Para 2:‎ ‎“Christine, I’m here.” _______________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分）‎ ‎1-5 CCBBC 6-10 ABCBC 11-15 BCCAB 16-20 CCBBA 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，35分）‎ 第一节（每小题2.5分，共25分）‎ ‎21-23 CBD 24-26 BCD 27-30 CBDD 第二节（每小题2分，共10分）‎ ‎31-35 GECBF 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）‎ ‎36-40 CBCBA 41-45 DADCD 46-50 CDAAB 51-55 CBBAD 第二节：短文填空（每小题1.5分，共15分）‎ 56. exactly 57.

My stomach twisted and turned inside. I ran up and down the aisles through the darkness, panic filling my small chest and making it difficult to breathe. I knocked into displays of candy and tripped over toys, all the while frantically calling my brother's name. Anxious as I was, I could barely see his figure. Tears of frustration and fear trickled down my face, but I continued to run.‎ ‎"Christine, I'm here.” Excitement took my breath away—there in the dark Lego aisle I found Christopher. He was standing alone, perfectly still, clutching tightly to the pirate ship set. I began to cry out from relief, throwing my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, saying,“ I knew if I waited here, Christine, you would be able to find me.” Then, I took his hand in mine and we went to find our mother, who must be desperately searching the store for us.‎
