Raindrops pounded the streets, caught the silver glow of street lamps, and then disappeared into the darkness. I was disappointed by the darkness and fixed my hopes on the promise of light deep within the raindrops. ‎ Two days later, I leaned against the wall of our apartment building on McKibbin Street wondering where New York ended and the rest of the world began. It was hard to tell. There was no horizon(地平线) in Brooklyn. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met a vertical maze of grey and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows.‎ A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand. She looked at me shyly; I pretended to ignore her. She stepped on the rope, stretched the ends overhead as if to measure their length, and then began to skip, slowly. At one moment, she turned her back to me; then she faced me again and smiled. I smiled back, and she hopped over.‎ ‎“ Tu eres hispana?” she asked, as she whirled (旋转) the rope in lazy arcs（弧形）.‎ ‎“No, I’ m Puerto Rican.”‎ ‎“Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped suddenly, and handed the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”‎ ‎“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you are Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”‎ ‎“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”‎ I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you are a Hispanic?”‎ ‎“Well, yeah. No… I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”‎ ‎“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you are born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”‎ ‎“I guess so,” she said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you are Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. I nodded and returned her rope. ‎ But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in Brooklyn I’d be someone else.‎ ‎24. How did the author feel about New York?‎ A. It was attractive B. It was stressful ‎ C. It was mysterious D. It was vast ‎25. How did the author react to the girl at first?‎ A. She didn’t notice her.‎ B. She acted as if she knew the girl.‎ C. She turned a blind eye to her.‎ D. She acted as if she didn’t see her.‎ ‎26. What did the author and the girl talk about?‎ A. The value of moving to an international city.‎ B. The power of language to fit in a society.‎ C. The characteristics that an immigrant has.‎ D. The standards that define a group of people.‎ ‎27. What is the author’s attitude towards her Spanish background?‎ A. indifferent B. ashamed C. faithful D. supportive ‎ C Encouragement and praise can come in many forms, and some ways are better for child development than others. Researchers at the University of Chicago and Stanford University who studied mother-child interactions over the course of several years found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life.‎ Specifically, praise that came with feedback about their behavior and the choices that toddlers(学步儿童) made helped them to cope better with difficult experiences five years later, compared with compliments(赞扬) that focused more on the child himself, like “You’re a good boy.” The study, which appears in the journal Child Development, is the first major study of praise and childhood development done outside of a lab setting.‎ ‎“This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research, and it’s exciting to see it paly out in the real world,” says Elizabeth Gunderson, an assistant professor of psychology at Temple University, “Praising the efforts and actions of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and desire to be challenged and work hard in the future.”‎ Such “process praise” includes comments which emphasize the child’s actions, while “person praise” includes comments which focus on a child’s inherent (内在的) qualities. These differences aren’t new in the field of psychology, but exactly how they affect children’s development hasn’t always been clear.‎ Based on the results of the study, researchers found that the children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge, and were able to identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems. They were also more likely to say they could improve intelligence with hard work. While person praise didn’t seem to have any negative effect on the children, the study suggests that process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed, while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and not easily changed.‎ ‎28. What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Encouragement and praise have good effects on children.‎ ‎ B. Different kinds of praise have different effects on children.‎ ‎ C. Researchers have different attitudes toward children’s development.‎ ‎ D. Researchers encourages more mother-child interactions.‎ ‎29. What does underlined “it” in the third paragraph refer to?‎ ‎ A. An experimental research. B. A lab setting.‎ ‎ C. The study. D. The journal Child Development.‎ ‎30. Which of the following belongs to “process praise”?‎ ‎ A. You’re smart. B. You’re looking sharp!‎ ‎ C. We are so proud of you. D. You tried so many times and made it!‎ ‎31. What is the main idea of this passage?‎ ‎ A. Praise is good for childhood development.‎ ‎ B. Process praise is more beneficial in the long run.‎ ‎ C. Person praise is better than process praise.‎ ‎ D. Praise is more beneficial than punishment.‎ D Upon checking Facebook this morning, I was blown away by my News Feed that consisted almost entirely of the same message posted and reposted by my Facebook friends. In addition to posting this message, many of my Facebook friends followed what the viral(病毒性的) message said to do.‎ At first, I thought it was awesome to see so many people wanting to participate and I even considered taking part myself. After careful consideration, I decided not to. It remains unclear where this idea even came from and no sources validate this information. Is it not necessary to first check if the information is true and not just a rumor(谣言)？‎ In my opinion, viral activism(行动主义) on social media is surely great for attracting attention about an issue, but it just rises suddenly in popularity and dies out quickly. On the outside, it may look like true activism but in reality, this activism is paper-thin----“slacktivism,” as I call it.‎ Participating in social activism on Facebook does not do much more than help people construct a “socially aware” image of themselves and give them the sense that they are actually making a difference. Sometimes people can make and impact by taking part in viral activism on social media, even if it is a small impact; however, they most often do not.‎ Social media activism is merely an acceptable starting point for someone to participate in a cause they truly believe in. There is much more that can be done. I realize that people have busy lives and that one may not have the time or money to contribute to a cause. If this is you, do what you can; if that means sticking to activism on social media, make sure you fully understand the cause you are supporting, truly believe that your post can help, and are not just doing it because it is popular.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined part “blown away” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?‎ A. Puzzled B. Shocked C. Scared D. Disappointed ‎33. Why did the author give up taking part in viral activism on social media?‎ A. He was not interested in it. ‎ B. He was tired of such things.‎ C. He was not sure about its truth.‎ D. He was sick of following the trend.‎ ‎34. What does the author mainly talk about in the third and fourth paragraphs?‎ A. Viral activism on social media is useful to draw attention.‎ B. Viral activism on social media is of great help.‎ C. Viral activism on social media makes little difference.‎ D. Viral activism on social media is true activism.‎ ‎35. What advice does the author give?‎ A. Do something really helpful ‎ B. Learn how to recognize rights and wrongs.‎ C. Take part in social activism actively.‎ D. Believe that your post can help.‎ 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。‎ When you choose your dream college, size matters. The size of a school really can change your experience.‎ Lots of students are unsure about a variety of factors when they consider which college might represent a good fit for them, but they believe they know exactly what they want when it comes to college size. Those colleges with larger campus are favored and admired by most students. ‎ ‎ 36 . Here are a few of the less-obvious reasons a smaller school might be a good fit:‎ The professors actually do the teaching.‎ ‎ 37 .That means there aren’t graduate students on campus, and more importantly, graduate students – many of whom have no interest in teaching – won’t be teaching any of your classes.‎ More focused and direct feedback(反馈).‎ You’ve heard the expression “You’re just a number.” Think about the homework and tests that need to be graded in a class with 450 students. 38 . But at small schools, class sizes are smaller, and professors will have more time to read a student’s work.‎ ‎ 39 .‎ Students at small schools are able to develop relationships with professors more easily, since there is a smaller amount of students. Most professors know their students’ names and count on them to take part in their research.‎ Less red tape.‎ It’s just easier to get things done at a small school. 40 . One of the biggest frustrations at large schools is that important classes become full quickly, forcing students to either take them over the summer or stay an extra semester.‎ A. Most small colleges only teach undergraduate degrees.‎ B. Relationship development.‎ C. Research chances.‎ D. It’s great to see students make a 180-degree turn after they’ve had the chance to visit some small colleges.‎ E. Teachers there don’t have much time to offer advice on every student’s piece of work.‎ F. Professors and administrators have more flexibility, and there are fewer regulations.‎ G. This will never happen in the small schools.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题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 worst problem with our current economic crisis is the strong sense of worry.
