Visiting hours and policies vary throughout the hospital. Please ask a staff member about the policy on the unit you wish to visit. We ask that you obey the following visitor rules:‎ ‎◆Do not visit if you are sick (fever, cough, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting) or have been exposed to chicken pox (水痘) or other contagious (传染的) illnesses within the past three weeks.‎ ‎◆Clean your hands each time you enter and leave the patient’s room.‎ ‎◆Follow isolation precautions (隔离预防措施) that are posted on the patient’s door.‎ ‎◆Do not touch patient equipment, patient wounds, or bandages while visiting.‎ ‎◆You must wear shoes and shirts at all times. Clothing must be clean and neat.‎ ‎◆Visitors are limited to two per patient each time.‎ ‎◆Do not use waiting rooms on a unit if you are not visiting a patient in that unit.‎ ‎◆Waiting rooms are not for overnight stays.‎ ‎◆Children must have adult supervision (监护) at all times and must be respectful of the hospital’s healing environment.

There’s a lady here my size!”‎ The mother rushed to the boy she called Mickey; then she turned to me to apologize.‎ I smiled and told her, “It’ s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darryl Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”‎ ‎“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.‎ ‎“Why are you so little?” he asked.‎ ‎“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After about five more minutes of answering questions, I shook Mickey’s hand, and he returned to his mother.‎ My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.‎ It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (患软骨发育不全症的侏儒). Despite this, my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes, I got a two-wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.‎ I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year.‎ As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.‎ I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude.‎ And it’s the children’s questions that make my life special. When I talk with children, they leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking time with them, I will encourage them to accept their peers, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.‎ ‎24. The mother apologized to the author because she thought ______.‎ A. her son mistook the author for her B. her son was too noisy in the supermarket C. what her son said to the author was rude D. her son might have frightened the author ‎25. How did the author’s parents bring her up when she was growing up?‎ A. They taught her at home by themselves.‎ B. They inspired her to live as a normal kid.‎ C. They encouraged her to be the best bicyclist.‎ D. They often reminded her that she was different from other kids.‎ ‎26. The word “diminished” underlined in the second-to-last paragraph probably means ______.‎ A. decreased B. spread C. occurred D. focused ‎27. Why does the author enjoy talking to children?‎ A. She thinks they are lovely and full of curiosity.‎ B. She can get strength and encouragement from them.‎ C. She feels safe and confident to communicate with them.‎ D. She wants to teach them to accept people for who they are.‎ C Parking in the CBD of any Australian city is expensive, hard to come by and ‎ often an unavoidable headache. But Rylan Kindness, a 16-year-old entrepreneur (企业家) from Brisbane, thinks he might have the answer to this problem.‎ It was after Rylan realized his parents were spending hours to try and find parking deals in the city that he came up with the idea for a centralized system. This system shows users the best price for parking in the area they want and offers users a daily deal with a discount.‎ Rylan now doubles as a high school student and the CEO of Parking Deals Australia, a role he took on four months ago when he launched the business from his bedroom.‎ Parking Deals Australia isn’t even Rylan’s first business. When he was barely 11, Rylan came up with an idea to sell wholesale (批发的) scooter parts (儿童滑板车配件) online, purely because he just wanted some extra money. On the side, he’s succeeding in other passions as well.‎ And despite Rylan clearly being a high-achiever and having a knack (诀窍) for business, he admitted it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.‎ ‎“I’ve learned so many crazy things through trial and error. Every day I fail somewhere but I always try to get better. My biggest failure was when I first set up everything and thought it was what everyone else would like but it’s a shock when you see people not enjoying what you’re doing. It makes you want to cry a little bit but then you polish the product and keep going,” he said.‎ While Rylan didn’t want to say exactly how much his now-bustling company is worth, he did admit he’s making a tidy profit.‎ ‎“I earn more in one day than I was earning for three months work in a cafe but I’m investing it all back into the business. ... what I’ve learned is that if you’re starting a business just to make money, you’re definitely going to fail. I’m there to help millions of people and that’s what really gets me going,” he said.‎ Rylan’s goal with Parking Deals Australia is to take it countrywide. ‎ ‎“We want to be everyone’s second step in their parking journey and save millions of people millions of dollars,” he said.‎ ‎28. According to the article, the centralized system can ______.‎ A. analyze users’ parking habits B. show the nearest parking lot for drivers C. show areas with available parking spaces D. recommend the cheapest parking spaces ‎29. What can we learn about Rylan Kindness?‎ A. He got the idea for the parking system from his parents.‎ B. He started to display a talent for business when he was about 11.‎ C. He left school to run his own company four months ago.‎ D. He started his first business by setting up Parking Deals Australia.‎ ‎30. Rylan’s business experience ______.‎ A. has shown him that the beginning is the most difficult time B. has taught him to work through failures by improving C. has pushed him to attempt crazy things, even when he fails D. has inspired him not to care too much about others’ opinions ‎31. What was Rylan’s main purpose for starting his business?‎ A. To earn some extra money for making bigger investments.‎ B. To become one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Australia.‎ C. To help people while making a profit.‎ D. To expand his influence on a national scale.‎ D A new study from MIT has found that piano lessons have a very specific effect on kindergartners’ ability to distinguish different pitches (音高), which translates into an improvement in distinguishing between spoken words. However, piano lessons did not appear to provide any benefit for overall intelligence, as measured by IQ, attention span (注意力集中时间), and working memory.‎ The 74 children participating in the study were divided into three groups: one that received 45-minute piano lessons three times a week; one that received extra reading instruction for the same period of time; and one that received neither of these. All ‎ children were 4 or 5 years old and spoke Mandarin as their native language.‎ After six months, the researchers tested the children on their ability to distinguish words based on differences in vowels (元音), consonants (辅音), or tone (音调). Better word distinguishing usually comes with better phonological awareness – the awareness of the sound structure of words, which is a key part of learning to read.‎ Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage over children in the extra reading group in distinguishing between words that differ by one consonant. Children in both the piano group and extra reading group performed better than the third group when it came to distinguishing words based on vowel differences.‎ The researchers also used electroencephalography to measure brain activity and found that children in the piano group had stronger responses than the other children when they listened to a series of tones of different pitch. This suggested that a greater sensitivity to pitch differences is what helped the children who took piano lessons to better distinguish different words, Desimone says.‎ ‎“That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” he says. “They really did benefit from that.”‎ In tests of IQ, attention, and working memory, the researchers did not find any significant differences among the three groups of children.‎ Desimone says he hopes the findings will help to convince education officials who are considering abandoning music classes in schools not to do so.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the study?‎ A. The participants were divided into four groups.‎ B. All the participants spoke English as their native language.‎ C. The participants were tested after a period of six months.‎ D. The ages of the participants ranged from 4 to 15 years.‎ ‎33. What did the researchers find in their study?‎ A. Children in the piano group had better awareness of the differences among words.‎ B. Children in the piano group performed better in the IQ test.‎ C. Children in the extra reading group had better awareness of sounds.‎ D. Children in the extra reading group performed better in the IQ test.‎ ‎34. What does Desimone think is an important ability for kids learning a language?‎ A. The ability to imitate certain sounds.‎ B. The ability to tell the differences between sounds.‎ C. The ability to remember new sounds and words.‎ D. The ability to relate sounds to real objects.‎ ‎35. With the findings, what does Desimone want education officials to do?‎ A. To have more music classes in schools.‎ B. Not to end music classes in schools.‎ C. To provide more types of musical instruments to schools.‎ D. Not to force students to study music if they are unwilling to.‎ 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。‎ It is very common for a classroom to have a world map on the wall. However, a new map, called the AuthaGraph World Map, might replace the old maps. 36 This surprised many because earlier winners of the important award have been things like robots and mobility chairs (移动座椅).‎ But this map is very special, because it is more accurate than the maps you have used at school. This is because it is difficult to copy the 3-D, spherical surface (球面) of the world onto a 2-D map. 37 This means places like North America look much bigger than they really are. North America looks the same size as Africa, even though Africa is much bigger. 38 ‎ Many people have tried to fix this problem, but until now they haven’t been successful.‎ ‎ 39 Created by Japanese designer Hajime Narukawa, it cuts the globe into 96 equal triangles and puts them into a tetrahedron (四面体) shape. In this way, the designer keeps the proportions (比例) of the land and water the same when going from a 3-D sphere to a 2-D map.‎ The map is already being used in Japanese school textbooks. According to the Good Design Award judges, it is the best example of what the planet really looks like. 40 ‎ A. However, they did suggest increasing the accuracy further by cutting the world into even smaller pieces.‎ B. It recently won Japan’s 2016 Good Design Award.‎ C. Similarly, Alaska looks bigger than Brazil, even though Brazil is more than five times bigger in real life.‎ D. It recently becomes very popular in Japan and catch much attention.‎ E. That means the body of the world has been changed.‎ F. Bodies of water and land are distorted (变形) because of this.‎ G. The AuthaGraph World Map appears to have solved the problem using geometry.‎ 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。 ‎ The day that I will always remember is when I ran my first ‎10km.

At this summer camp, I had the opportunity to meet some foreign teachers and communicate with them directly, which allowed me to practice my oral English. Also, through the lessons of Western culture, I was able to get a better understanding of table manners and different festivals in Western countries. It was good for me to broaden my horizons and look at the world from a different perspective.‎ All in all, this was one of the best summers I’ve ever had, and I look forward to attending the camp again next summer.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua
