But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself ?‎ Jimmy ‎ Hi, Jimmy,‎ As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!‎ Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.‎ Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform （顺应） again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’‎ ‎ involvement in your life.‎ Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry（重归）, and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture.‎ ‎24. What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?‎ A. To criticize his parents. ‎ B. To ask for advice about his studies.‎ C. To complain about his parents. ‎ D. To ask for help.‎ ‎25. What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?‎ A. It’s unusual. B. It’s normal. ‎ ‎ C. It’s serious. D. It’s interesting. ‎ ‎26. The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______.‎ ‎ A. have changed in the past year B. have unrealistic expectations of each other C. need to behave like they did before D. need to find a balance between the good and bad ‎27. The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem.‎ ‎ A. patience and trust ‎ B. patience and politeness C. better communication between family members ‎ ‎ D. a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture C In 1863, the great novelist Jules Verne wrote a novel called Paris in the Twentieth Century. In the book he used the full power of his great ability to forecast the coming century. Unfortunately, the manuscript (手稿) was lost until his great-grandson happened to discover it lying in a safe where it had ‎ been carefully locked away for almost 130 years. Realizing what a treasure he had found, he arranged to have it published in 1994, and it became a bestseller at once. ‎ Back in 1863, kings still ruled the ancient world in Europe, with so many poor people performing backbreaking work in the fields. And steam power was just beginning to change the world. But Verne predicted that Paris in 1960 would have glass skyscrapers, air conditioning, TV, elevators, high-speed trains, gas-powered vehicles, and even something similar to the Internet. Verne described life in modern Paris almost without any mistakes. ‎ Just two years later Verne made another amazing prediction. He wrote From the Earth to the Moon, in which he predicted the details of the task that sent several astronauts to the moon more than 100 years later in 1969. He correctly predicted the size of the space capsule, the number of astronauts who would carry out the task, the length of time the journey would take, the weightlessness that the astronauts would experience, and the final landing in the ocean.‎ How was Jules Verne able to predict 100 years into the future successfully? Although he was not a scientist himself, Verne often turned to scientists, asking them questions about their opinions of the future. He collected a vast amount of information about the great scientific discoveries of his time. Verne realized that science would make it possible for many amazing things to appear in the future. The secret of his successful prediction was his belief in the power of science to change society. ‎ ‎28. Paris in the Twentieth Century is a novel that _____.‎ A. people thought little of at first B. took Jules Verne five years to finish C. didn’t sell well when published at first D. was published long after it was finished ‎29. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.‎ A. the requirements of being an astronaut ‎ B. what From the Earth to the Moon is about C. how From the Earth to the Moon was created ‎ D. the differences between the earth and the moon ‎30. According to the text, Jules Verne _____.　‎ A. showed strong interest in writing and science ‎ B. could predict what would happen to someone C. was well-known as both a novelist and a scientist D. had Paris in the Twentieth Century published in 1994‎ ‎31. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. The early life of Jules Verne ‎ B. Jules Verne’s opinions about science C. Jules Verne: A writer ahead of his time ‎ D. Jules Verne’s inventions came true D What about your performance at today’s class? Are you active enough to focus on the lessons? Nowadays it is common to see students’ laziness and poor efficiency at class. And that is why schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active. Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks. At Ward Elementary School in Winston, North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.‎ ‎“Read and Ride” is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl, who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym. Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.‎ It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school. Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.‎ Besides making reading more fun, the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities. It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities. What is more important, however, are the program’s academic benefits. A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School, students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency. Those who had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower, 41%. ‎ Of course there are many other programs which have got good results as “Read and Ride”. Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like “Read and Ride”, experts believe they are a significant contributor. That’s because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates（刺激）brain cells and helps prepare it for learning. So don’t be surprised to find more ‎ schools across the country will adopt “Read and Ride” for their students.‎ ‎32. What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?‎ A. Kids excise balls in the classroom.‎ B. Kids ride bikes when they are reading.‎ C. Kids attend reading classes at the gym.‎ D. Kids stand on the desks while reading.‎ ‎33. How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?‎ A. They exercise with high pressure. ‎ B. They become more active in sports.‎ C. They feel reading fun and learn better. ‎ D. They become more independent in reading.‎ ‎34. Which of the following is the closest in the meaning to the underlined phrase in the last paragraph?‎ A. be due to B. be occupied with C. be devoted to D. be addicted to ‎35. What is the author's attitude towards this program?‎ A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.‎ 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。‎ Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways, from clothing to posture, and from talking style to body language. Below are several tips for you to begin with:‎ ‎ ●Physical appearance matters. We're visual creatures after all.‎ ‎ Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. 36 It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly. If it is a business setting, be aware of the dress rule or culture. ‎37 A thumbs-up here does not mean the same elsewhere. So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.‎ ‎ ● 38 ‎ ‎ A fake (假的) smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression. It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. 39 Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.‎ ‎ ●Look into people’s eyes until you see the colors of their iris (虹膜).‎ ‎ Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with. Consequently, they ‎ feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. 40 Well, try to identify the color of the others' irises. Get it? That makes a good eye contact example.‎ ‎ Are these the impression we want to leave? Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!‎ A. What makes a quality eye contact?‎ B. How does eye contact affect interaction?‎ C. The requirement varies from culture to culture.‎ D. Then at least try not to look discouraging and angry!‎ E. Don't fake a smile, or people will doubt your sincerity.‎ F. Always smile while interacting with others, especially with a new friend.‎ G. Besides, it is a way to show respect by choosing appropriate clothes for different settings.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分60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中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Jackson lived on top of the hill.
