The upper floor is a quiet zone with over a thousand places for silent reading, and places where you can sit and work with your own computer. The reading places consist mostly of tables and chairs. The ground floor is the zone where you can talk. Here you can find sofas and armchairs for group work.‎ Computers You can use your own computer to connect to the wifi specially prepared for notebook computers; you can also use library computers, which contain the most commonly used applications, such as Microsoft Office. They are situated in the area known as the Experimental Field on the ground floor.‎ Group-study Places If you want to discuss freely without disturbing others, you can book a study room or sit at a table on the ground floor.

Shea was born with a partial right hand, which restricts her ability to do things that other kids take for granted.‎ ‎ “My mom went online”, says Shea, who lives in Muknowango‎, ‎Wisconsin. Shea’s mother, Ranee, soon learned about a community of artists, designers, and scientists who are making big breakthrough with artificial hands.‎ ‎ Frankie Flood, a professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, was among the designers who saw Ranee’s online request. Flood obtained help from fellow professor Adeam Blair and their students, who were learning how to make designs using a 3-D printer. “We made a mold(模子) of Shea’s hand out of plaster(石膏), and then we 3-D scanned her hand,” Flood says.‎ ‎ While being fitted in Flood’s laboratory, Shea got to choose the color of her new hand. She went with bright pink. She now has a pink hand, a purple hand, and a purple and pink one, and can do things that she couldn’t do before, like peeling potatoes, picking up objects, and catching a ball.‎ ‎ Flood and his team have since built hands for six other local children. Indirectly, they have helped dozens more by posting their designs online so that people around the world can print them out. Flood is also working on artificial legs for military soldiers who were injured on the battlefield. “Without a covering, the artificial leg is kind of ugly and plain,” Flood says. “Soldiers want something that will restore the shape of their legs and make them look cooler when they’re playing sports.”‎ ‎ As for Shea, the aspiring musician can now play her violin with the help from an adaptive ‎ device that Flood’s team created. “Nothing is ever going to hold her back,” Shea’s father, Steve, told a local reporter.‎ ‎24.What do we know about Shea from Paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. Her left hand is weak B. She is eager for many gifts ‎ C. She was born with a disability D. She comes from a poor family ‎25.What can Shea do with the help of her new hand?‎ ‎ A. She can do simple things easily B. She can play different kinds of sports ‎ C. She can build hands for other children D. She can make designs using a 3-D printer ‎26.What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A. Flood made Shea’s new hand alone B. Shea has hands of different colours now ‎ C. Soldiers like artificial legs though they are ugly D. Ranee made big breakthroughts with artificial hands ‎27.What do Steve’s words suggest in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Shea is a determined girl B. Shea has an advanced device ‎ C. Shea is a famous musician now D. Shea gets much help from her family C ‎ There are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.‎ Teachers love school uniforms because it helps provide an orderly learning environment. Having students dressed in uniforms may teach them how to present themselves in a neat and professional manner. It gives students the opportunity to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can focus their attention on academics rather than style.‎ Purchasing(购买) school uniforms is easy and needs less hesitation and consideration. No matter what the school’s policy is, there are only specific essential(基本的) pieces to the wardrobe(服装) that are necessary, so it won’t break the bank. A few wardrobe items can last a long time. Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.‎ Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what to wear or not to wear when their classmates are dressed similarly. Getting dressed before school becomes less of a chore(琐事) when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn’t be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of ‎ individuality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.‎ Uniforms today are also becoming trendier and can be seen in many areas of pop culture. Celebrities(名人)and fashion designers are using uniforms as inspiration for new looks which also appeal to students.‎ ‎28.What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. How to dress properly B. The history of school uniforms C. The advantages of school uniforms D. How to deal with pressure in school ‎29.Teachers think that wearing school uniforms .‎ A. is just a tradition that students should follow B. makes students feel less pressure in study C. helps students put more effort into their studies D. makes students lose their independence and identity ‎30.The underlined part “it won’t break the bank” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”.‎ A. a school uniform doesn’t cost a lot of money B. a school uniform should be worn every day C. parents will have to go to the bank many times D. parents who work in a bank can afford the uniform ‎31.We can infer from the text that school uniforms .‎ A. are not popular with fashion designers B. were not accepted by parents in the past C. will be designed by students themselves D. will be more fashionable in the future D ‎ “Soon, you’re going to have to move out!” cried my neighbor upon seeing the largest tomato plant known to mankind, or at least known in my neighborhood.‎ ‎ One tiny 9-inch plant, bought for $1.25 in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door.‎ Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren't for the pleasure they give, it wouldn't be worth the work. As it is, I have a garden full of sweet-smelling roses for most of the year. bushes must be pruned(剪枝) in early spring, leaving ugly woody branches until the new growth appears a few weeks later. It was the space available(可用的) in the garden that led me into planting just one little tomato plant. A big mistake.‎ Soil conditions made just perfect for roses turn out to be even more perfect for tomatoes. The daily watering coupled with full sun and regular fertilizing(施肥) have turned the little plant ‎ into a tall bush. The cage I placed around it as the plant grew has long since disappeared under the thick leaves.‎ Now the task I face in harvesting the fruit is twofold; First, I have to find the red ones among the leaves, which means I almost have to stand on my head, and once found I have to reach down and under, pick the tomatoes and withdraw(缩回) my full fist without dropping the prize so dearly won. I found two full-blown white roses completely hidden as I picked tomatoes in June, but they were weak and the leaves already yellow for lack of light.‎ Here I am faced with a painful small decision: To tear up a wonderful and productive tomato plant that offers up between ten and twenty ripe sweet tomatoes each day or say goodbye to several expensive and treasured roses. Like Scarlett in Gone With the Wind, I'll think about that tomorrow.‎ ‎32.What are the requirements for the healthy growth of rose?‎ A. A lot of care and the right soil B. Frequent pruning and fertilizing C. Tomato plants grown alongside D. Cages placed around the roots ‎33.The writer planted the tomato because .‎ A. it cost only $1.25 B. the soil was just right for it C. there was room for it in the garden D. the roses' branches needed to be covered ‎34.This year the writer's roses were .‎ A. removed from the rose bed B. picked along with the tomatoes C. mostly damaged by too much sunlight D. largely hidden under the tomato plant ‎35.By saying "the prize so dearly won" in paragraph 5, the writer wants to .‎ A. show the difficulty in picking the tomatoes B. show the hardship of growing the roses C. express her liking for the roses D. express her care for the tomatoes 第二节（共5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。‎ The road to happiness ‎ We all know that money can’t buy happiness, but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are trained to want the latest style that television tells us 36 But ‎ none of that win bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades to pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this. So what will bring us happiness? 37 ‎ Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. 38 Happy people feel energetic, in control of their lives, and have a positive attitude to life.‎ ‎ 39 We have a human need to be close. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong, marriage or close and loving links with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.‎ Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days-the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work before us.

People find greatest enjoyment not when they’re passively mindless, but when they’re absorbed in a mindful challenge.‎ ‎ 40 Don’t waste them!‎ ‎ A. Good relationships ‎ B. You’ve been given the three secrets to happiness ‎ C. In fact, this should be one of first habits you develop ‎ D. In may sound ridiculous, but it has worked for me every time E.

Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives 第三部分 英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1分，满分20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，选取可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ Last weekend, I was blessed with an opportunity to serve as a volunteer in Maryland.
