Because of the crash, she’s blind in one eye, lost her sense of smell, lost some of her hearing, lost the ability to create tears, and she can not fall asleep naturally.‎ ‎“Initially, I thought I would not be defeated but clearly I was completely wrong. Apart from the medical problems, the hardest part about my life after the car accident was the fact that I was alone.” Jerry said, “Everyone was away at college,but I wasn’t. I couldn’t drive, couldn’t go to college. My friends who used to hang around with me were there for me at first, but after a while they stopped coming by.”‎ ‎“I looked up on her Facebook page, and she said on there: Can anybody please hang out with me today? I don’t have any friends.” recalled Jerry’ s mother, Ketty.‎ In time, Jerry and her mother teamed up with the US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to make a video. They want to get the point across that texting while driving can have life-transforming consequences.‎ In the video Jerry appealed to drivers not to text while driving. She admitted she was checking and sending messages via her phone when she crashed her car into the back of the truck.‎ ‎“Don’t text your loved ones when you know they’re driving,” said Jerry’s mother. “It can change their lives forever.”‎ ‎“If you get a text, don’t look at it,” Jerry said. “It’s not worth it.”‎ ‎4．What happened to Jerry when she was 17 years old?‎ A．She lost all her friends. B．She couldn’t cry naturally.‎ C．She suffered a traffic accident. D．She was waiting to turn left.‎ ‎5．What was Jerry’s hardest part in her life after 17?‎ A．Having no chance to attend college.

D．Being alone without friends around her.‎ ‎6．Why did Jerry regret texting while driving?‎ A．Because it caused her a life-changing result. ‎ B．Because she couldn’t see the message clearly.‎ C．Because she was afraid to miss the message. ‎ D．Because she couldn’t send the message quickly.‎ ‎7．The purpose of making the video was to .‎ A．warn people not to use phones while driving ‎ B．call on people to help accident victims C．ask teens to be careful while riding ‎ D．expose the truth of the car crash C Work Your Mind Here’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: struggling with schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.‎ This theory might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don’t be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur told TFK. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”‎ Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another, instead of getting help from the teacher. ‎ With the teacher’s help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. ‎ Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas. The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process, not just the solution.‎ Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a genuine attempt to figure out or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”‎ ‎8．When you have doubt on schoolwork, you’d better ____________.‎ A．ask your teacher for help B．make it clear by yourself C．ask your classmates to help you D．ask your parents for help ‎9．What’s Manu Kapur educational idea on learning new knowledge?‎ A．Give students much help as soon as possible.‎ B．Let students learn it on themselves in one way.‎ C．Let students learn it by themselves in the same way.‎ D．Let students learn it for themselves in different ways.‎ ‎10．How did Kapur check his idea on better learning?‎ A．By asking questions. B．By solving art problems.‎ C．By group comparison. D．By solving science problems.‎ ‎11．What is most important in learning knowledge?‎ A．Getting the teacher’s help. B．Getting the student’s help.‎ C．Grasping the learning course. D．Receiving the final solution.‎ D ‎ If you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.‎ Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.‎ The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from ‎ a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.‎ More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.‎ The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.‎ Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.‎ But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.‎ ‎12．What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?‎ ‎ A．Their feeding patterns. B．Their sense of direction.‎ ‎ C．Their greedy behaviors. D．Their habit of following fishing boats.‎ ‎13．For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?‎ ‎ A．To seek more fishes. B．To have it mistaken for another.‎ ‎ C．To avoid being detected. D．To save the trouble of declaring itself.‎ ‎14．What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?‎ ‎ A．Identifying birds with loggers. B．Monitoring illegal boats.‎ ‎ C．Tracking radar signals automatically. D．Fishing illegally.‎ ‎15．What could be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A．AIS: an Effective System to Locate Boats ‎ B．Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ Nature ‎ C．Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest ‎ D．Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations 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 it comes to helping students learn and mature, there are several ways to increase their well-being. Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom, there are a few things that you still can do.‎ Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do.
