On the way, I 36 a stranger and presented the bunch to him with a smile card. 37 by the sense of joy I felt from giving flowers to another person, and may be 38 his day, I wanted to do it again.‎ When I got to my office, I had the 39 of anonymously(匿名地) leaving flowers around the workplace. The impersonal(无人情味的) 40 of the building where I work makes me 41 . It just feels a little boring sometimes, 42 it's a nice building with great light. I 43 lots of people might feel the same way, so why not put a little 44 there, and throw in an inspirational 45 while I'm at it? After all, who doesn't like flowers?‎ ‎ So, for the past month, I've been 46 flowers in a little cup on the sink in the bathroom. ‎ ‎ Each week, I 47 the flowers and the quote.

It 53 , “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”—Gandhi.

A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.‎ One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.‎ In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.‎ ‎58. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?‎ A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.‎ B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.‎ C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.‎ D. Stories for children are easy to remember.‎ ‎59. The author explains the law of overlearning by .‎ A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules C. using examples D. making a comparison ‎60. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .‎ A. a result of overlearning B. a special case of cramming C. a skill to deal with math problems D. a basic step towards advanced studies ‎61. What is the author's opinion on cramming?‎ A. It leads to failure in college exams. B. It increases students' learning interest.‎ C. It's possible to result in poor memory. D. It's helpful only in a limited way. ‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎58.B ‎59.C ‎60.A ‎61.D 考点：考查科普类阅读 ‎【名师点睛】‎ 英语高考阅读理解细节题解题技巧 一、语义转换题——跳读查找法这是做事实细节题最基本也是最常用的方法。在通常情况下，细节题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解，同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。‎ 运用跳读查找法时，同学们要特别注意试题（包括选项）与原文之间的适当变换。根据近几年的考题情况来看，现在很少有直接用原文中的句子进行考查和测试的，而通常要进行一定的处理。而这种“处理”主要就是指进行语义转换，其中包括同义变换、概念解析、归纳事实等。比如第60题，根据文章的The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.可知，学会乘法规则是过渡学习的结果。故选A。‎ 二、生活应用题——常识理解法生活应用题要求考生在读懂文章的基础上结合一定的生活常识进行判断。不过，有趣的是，高考有时会出现一些“低级”常识判断题，即无需看懂文章，也可选出最佳答案。‎ 三、细节排序题——首尾定位法 这种试题要求考生根据动作发生的先后顺序和句子之间的逻辑关系，找出事件发生的正确顺序。同学们在做这种题时可采用“首尾定位法”，即最先找出第一个动作和最后一个动作，迅速缩小选择范围，从而快速选出正确答案。比如第61题：主旨大意题。根据文章的介绍可知，不仅要依靠过渡学习，还要保持继续学习。故选D。‎ 四、寻找信息题——题干定位法快速寻找信息题一般为功能阅读题，主要形式有广告、公告、演出信息、航班时间表等。做这类题时没有必要阅读全文，宜采用“题干定位法”。‎ C By 2050, a completely new type of human evolve as a result of extremely new technology, behavior, and natural selection. This is according to Cadell Last, a researcher at the Global Brain Institute, who claims mankind is undergoing a major “evolutionary transition”. ‎ In less than four decades, Mr. Last claims we will live longer, have children in old age and rely on artificial intelligence to do ordinary and boring tasks. This shift is so significant, he claims, it is comparable to the change from monkeys to apes, and apes to humans. “Your 80 or 100 is going to be so radically different than your grandparents,” Mr. Last says, who believes we will spend much of our time living in virtual reality. Some evolutionary scientists believe this age could be as high as 120 by 2050. ‎ Mr. Last claims humans will also demonstrate delayed sexual maturation, according to a report by Christina Sterbenz in Business Insider. This refers to something known as life history theory which attempts to explain how natural selection shapes key events in a creature’s life, such as reproduction. It suggests that as brain sizes increase, organisms need more energy and time to reach their full potential, and so reproduce less. ‎ Instead of living fast and dying younger, Mr. Last believes humans will live slow and die old. “Global society at the moment is a complete mess,” he told MailOnline. “But in crisis there is opportunity, and in apocalypse (启示) there can be transformation. So I think the next system humanity creates will be far more sophisticated, fair, and abundant than our current civilization.” ‎ ‎“I think our next system will be as different from the modern world, as our contemporary world is from the medieval (中世纪的) world. The biological clock isn't going to be around forever,” he added, and said that people could pause it for some time using future technology. ‎ The change is already happening. Today, the average age at which a woman in Britain has her first baby has been rising steadily stands at 29. 8. In the US, just one percent of first children were born to women over the age of 35 in 1970. By 2012, that figure rose to 15 percent.‎ ‎“As countries become socio-economically advanced, more and more people, especially women have the option to engage in cultural reproduction,” Mr. Last added. And as well as having more child-free years to enjoy leisure time, he believes artificial intelligence will make up the need for low-skill jobs.

Not so with me. Driving made me nervous. I didn't get a license until I turned 24 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled to work. My husband's hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he ‎ dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.‎ Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely walked the three miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.‎ One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and sleek looking. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was probably the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.‎ She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. There was a striking resemblance to Liz Taylor. Jet black hair and alabaster skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as the sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, entered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.‎ Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?‎ Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost routine to see her about once a week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lingered long after she drove away.‎ Many nights when sleep evaded me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt.‎ I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.‎ Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called to him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.‎ She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking cane. Sitting sideways in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis on the left leg and a brace on the right leg. I couldn't watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been ‎ able to walk three miles to our car!【来.源：全,品…中&高*考*网】‎ When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents were in a car that either stalled or got caught on the railroad tracks and was hit by a train. Both parents were killed and she was severely injured. She was only 12 years old. The railroad made a large settlement with her because the crossing had no signals. He explained her car was specially built for her needs as well as the home.‎ I prayed for forgiveness all the way home. The lady I thought had everything I didn't. I realized how lucky I was to have my parents, the ability to walk, run or dance through life and many wonderful things money can't buy. I would not have traded places with the beautiful lady for anything.‎ When you meet a person who seems to be much better off than you, don't be fooled.‎ ‎66.

Time management is essential in every field of life because time is the precious resource one needs to accomplish a task. Every single moment that passes once will never come back again. Time management helps you do your task in time and use your time more productively. It helps you to identify the useless activities which can be avoided and how time can be saved. It helps you allocate proper time for a task and perform the task more efficiently.‎ A student’s daily routine is filled with a lot of activities. Some are related to his studies, some are essential for his life and some are for entertainment or physical fitness. Still some activities have no use and just waste time. Similarly if the number of the activities for entertainment exceeds what is reasonable, they waste the time of a student. These activities include using the internet for chatting, playing games, watching movies or listening to music for hours on end. Such activities are called “distracters” which distract one from one’s real purpose.‎ Games and physical exercise are important for a student because they keep him fit in body and mind but game time should be controlled as it may waste his time.‎ No one wastes time intentionally. Time is always wasted in an insensible way. That’s why a student is aware of it until the days of exams come. So it is better to use the present time more effectively than cry over what you’ve done in the future.‎ As for a student, time management compromises (包括) various steps. It is not only necessary to allocate time ‎ for different subjects but also to identify right time for each such subject. What’s more, to identify the distracters which become causes of wastage of time is of significance as well.‎ Take a pen and sheet. Write down all the activities you do in your daily routine. Calculate how much time you have for your studies other than other activities. Determine how much time a subject can take out of your total study time. See which subject need more time.‎ Time management Definition You manage your time effectively for the 81 of giving the right time to the right activity.‎ Significance ‎●It is essential in every field of life because of the 82 of time.‎ ‎●It helps you do your task in time, use your time more productively, 83 wasting time, give proper time to a task and perform the task more effectively.‎ ‎ 84 ‎ ‎●Identify all the activities in your daily routine and remove 85 ones.‎ ‎●Strictly 86 time spent on activities for entertainment.‎ ‎●Games and physical exercise are helpful to keep you fit physically and 87 , but the amount of time spent on them should not exceed what is reasonable.‎ ‎●Time is always wasted in an insensible way, so take care.‎ ‎●Manage the present time more effectively in order not to cry over the 88 in the future.‎ Steps ● ‎ 89 all the activities in your daily routine.‎ ● Calculating how much time you need for your studies other than other activities.‎ ● ‎ 90 time for different subjects.‎ ● Identifying the right time for each subject.‎ ‎【答案】‎ ‎81.purpose ‎82.preciousness/ value/ importance ‎83.avoid ‎84.Suggestions/ Tips/ Advice/ Ways ‎85.useless/ distracting ‎86.control ‎87.mentally ‎88.past ‎89.Listing ‎90.Allocating 考点：考查内容填空 ‎【名师点睛】‎ 1. 通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。‎ 2. 理解的基础上注意细节。比如第82题：考查句意理解。此处指的是时间很重要。故填preciousness/ value/ importance皆可。‎ ‎3.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如第87题：考查副词。 根据前文的physically可知此处应该是相对的即心理上的，故填mentally。‎ ‎4.带入通读，复查 做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，‎ 第五部分 书面表达（满分20分）‎ 阅读下面短文，并按要求用英语写一篇150个词左右的英语短文。‎ Editor's note: China is the top country of origin for international students in the US, with more than 274,000 Chinese students reportedly accounting for 31 percent of all international students at US universities. Many Chinese parents save up a lot of money for their children to pursue an overseas education. Is it worth spending big to study abroad? You are welcome to leave your comments. ‎ ‎ Arsa (Russia): I went to study abroad when I was 17. First year was a total waste as I met plenty of Russian students in my college and we spent most of our time shopping and hanging out at cafes, it wasn't until two years later that I realized that my English hadn't improved. I changed my mindset entirely and started studying hard. I ended up staying in UK for 10 years, which opened a lot of doors and introduced me to great people, so I'm all for studying abroad. ‎ ‎ Truth (US): There is an assumption that American education is the best in the world, so Chinese parents are pushing their kids to American colleges. And some are even sending their children overseas at junior or high school level. I often feel this is a mistake as the education a Chinese child gets in a foreign country is very different from what they are used to and they often struggle. Some students have trouble understanding their lecturers and their assignments keep coming back with poor scores. ‎ ‎【写作内容】‎ ‎1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要；‎ ‎2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括：‎ ‎(1)支持或反对“国外留学”；‎ ‎(2)用2至3个理由或论据支撑你的观点。‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】‎ One possible version:‎ ‎(赞成)More and more Chinese parents prefer to send their children to study abroad, assuming that their children can receive the best education despite heavy financial burdens. People's opinions on ‎ this vary. (31 words)‎ ‎ I think it makes good sense to send children to study abroad for the following reasons. First, when studying abroad, children are exposed to a different culture, which will help broaden their horizons and provide them with a chance to improve their foreign language. Second, living apart from their family，children can learn to adapt to the new environment and live on their own. Last but not the least, faced with fierce competition in a job market, a person owning a foreign diploma can have an edge over others. ‎ ‎ In summary, it goes without saying that studying abroad is an excellent experience from which children can benefit a lot, so if possible, children should make the most of the great chance. (151 words)‎ ‎(反对) More and more Chinese parents prefer to send their children to study abroad, assuming that their children can receive the best education despite heavy financial burdens. People's opinions on this vary. (31 words)‎ ‎ I don't think it is a wise option to send children to foreign countries for education, especially those at junior or senior level. For one thing, we have good universities in China where students can receive an equally good education and therefore owning a foreign diploma doesn't necessarily mean an edge over others in hunting for jobs. For another, so high is the tuition that not every family can afford it. Besides, finding it hard to adapt to the new environment, some students feel depressed or even drop out without achieving anything. ‎ ‎ Whether to send children to study abroad is a vital decision worthy of careful consideration. It is not where to study but how to study well that really makes a difference.
