The town was cut off from the rest of the world due to heavy snow. On the 20th of that month, Dr. Welch 36 a sick boy, Billy, and knew he had diphtheria, a deadly infectious (传染的) disease mainly affecting children. The children of Nome would be 37 if it struck the town. Dr. Welch needed medicine as soon as possible to stop other kids from getting sick. 38 , the closest supply was over 1,000 miles away, in Anchorage. How could the medicine get to Nome? The town’s 39 was already full of ice, so it couldn’t come by ship. Cars and horses couldn’t travel on the 40 roads. Jet airplanes and big trucks didn’t exist yet. 41 January 26, Billy and three other children had died. Twenty more were 42 . Nome’s town officials came up with a(n) 43 . They would have the medicine sent by 44 from Anchorage to Nenana. From there, dogsled(狗拉雪橇) drivers—known as “mushers”—would 45 it to Nome in a relay(接力). The race began on January 27. The first musher, Shannon, picked up the medicine from the train at Nenana and rode all night. 46 he handed the medicine to the next musher, Shannon’s face was black from the extreme cold. On January 31, a musher named Seppala had to 47 a frozen body of water called Norton Sound. It was the most 48 part of the journey. Norton Sound was covered with ice, which could sometimes break up without warning. If that happened, Seppala might fall into the icy water below. He would 49 , and so would the sick children of Nome. But Seppala made it across. A huge snowstorm hit on February 1. A musher named Kaasen had to brave this storm. At one point, huge piles of snow blocked his 50 . He had to leave the trail(雪橇痕迹) to get around them. Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 51 the trail again. The only hope was Balto, Kaasen’s lead dog. Balto put his nose to the ground, 52 to find the smell of other dogs that had travelled on the trail. If Balto failed, it would mean disaster for Nome. The minutes passed by. Suddenly, Balto began to 53 . He had found the trail. At 5:30 a.m. on February 2, Kaasen and his dogs 54 in Nome. Within minutes, Dr. Welch had the medicine. He quickly gave it to the sick children.

According to a new survey(调查) by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school. How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10-to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV. “More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities(机会) to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone,” says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called bornones not only make teenagers’ bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesotam changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results. 58. What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on? A. American kids’ sleeping habits. B. Teenagers’s sleep-related diseases. C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness. D. Learning problems and lack of sleep. 59. How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day? A. 7 hours. B. 8 hours. C. 10 hours. D. 18 hours. 58. Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon? A. They are affected by certain body chemicals. B. They tend to do things that excite them. C. They follow their parents’ examples. D. They don’t need to go to school early. C Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 61. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected. 62. Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2? A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 63. How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present? A. About 6,800. B. About 3,400. C. About 2,400. D. About 1,200. 64. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. D It’s back-to-school time for kids across the country, but for the lucky sixth-to eighth-grade students in Stephanie Stephens’ classroom at James L. Capps Middle School in Oklahoma City, the US, they are already off to a wizardry first few days of learning. “One of the toughest things as a reading teacher is instilling(逐渐灌输) a love of reading in those students that do not like reading,” Stephens, a teacher of 31 years old at James L. Capps Middle School, wrote to ABC News of her magical“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”themed classroom. “This year, I chose to go with a Harry Potter theme because if I am excited and enthusiastic, students tend to follow suit. My goal is to help students find at least one book or genre that they can find exciting and be as enthusiastic about as I am regarding Harry Potter.” When her kids walked into her elective reading and maths classroom on the first day of school Aug. 20, they were all excited to take a tour of the room—every one of them felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts in Harry Potter. “The majority of my students loved the potions most,”Stephens wrote. It took the creative teacher a week to plan and order the different book-themed items. “I thought of everything that happened in the novel of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” she explained. “I chose to keep with only the first book regarding decorating. I made a list of things that I could decorate the room with. I thought of all the magical things Harry saw and experienced and put myself in his shoes and picked the things that I could pull off in a classroom. I never got to a broom or mirror, but I planned to add that to my room at a later time.” Stephens and her husband are such crazy fans of the Harry Potter books and movies that she says they actually“fall asleep to a Harry Potter movie every night”. She’s encouraging her students to be enthusiastic about school and learning by splitting her classes up into different“houses”where they will earn“house points”for positive behaviour. “Each class is a different house and they will earn house points for different positive behaviour in my classroom (5 points for a 100% on an assessment, 1 point each day when a class picks up the classroom before leaving, 2 points for students who bring all their supplies to class, 5 points for students who are kind and help others without being asked, etc.),” Stephens wrote. “Once the house points jar fills up they get a class reward.” The prefect desk will also be used to highlight her student helper for the week who assists her in the classroom with checking iPads in and out to their fellow classmates, passing out papers, collecting papers and running errands for Stephens. “A student is chosen for the prefect desk by following our school beliefs: ‘Be Safe. Be Respectful. Be Responsible. Be Prompt,’” she explained. “The students are very excited about the chance to be a prefect.” The photos of Stephens’ “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” themed classroom have gotten more than 10,000 views since her husband posted them to Reddit. She is very grateful for all the attention that the photos of her magical classroom are receiving. However, the teacher says that she simply does what she should do for her students “because they deserve the best”. “My students mean the world to me,” she added with a big smile on her face, “and I hope my enthusiasm for reading will transfer to each and every one of my kids.” 65. Why does Stephens turn the classroom into a magical one? A. She hopes her students will show interest in Harry Potter. B. She hopes her enthusiasm for reading will affect students. C. She hopes her students will pay more attention to their studies. D. She hopes her students will treasure the chance to be in school. 66. What’s the students’ feeling when they walked into the magical classroom? A. They were too grateful to Stephens to say a word. B. They were enthusiastic about reading Harry Potter. C. They were full of excitement and felt like in another world. D. They were fond of the potions most although a little bit afraid. 67. What do we know about Stephens and her husband? A. They uploaded photos to get more attention. B. They are devoted fans of the Harry Potter series. C. They themselves made all the items for the classroom. D. They can’t sleep without a Harry Potter movie at night. 68. What’s the public’s attitude towards the Stephens’ magical classroom? A. Indifferent. B. Interested. C. Negative. D. Critical. 69. What can we infer from the last four paragraphs? A. Stephens takes what she does for her students for granted. B. Stephens has the right to be given the best things of all. C. Stephens made rules for choosing a student as a prefect. D. Students can get a class reward once they gain 2 points. 70. Which section of a newspaper do you think the passage is taken from? A. Culture. B. Entertainment. C. Science. D. Education. 第II卷(非选择题,共三节,满分35分) 第一节:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) Imagine living in a country torn by war. Or maybe you live in a place where there are few jobs and little chance to earn a living. Your family decides to move — not to another town, but to another country. You and your family have become immigrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes. People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities. Other people become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees. Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest. Others are seeking freedom to express their religious views. Still others are uprooted by disasters, such as terrible flooding or drought. Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains. Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearly 500 years, immigrants have landed on America’s shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked lowpaying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do. Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and language common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life. The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize new lands. By the mid1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American Southwest. French immigrants arrived in the early 1600s and built their first colony in Canada. The English also arrived in the early 1600s. They established 13 colonies along America’s Atlantic Coast. In the 1700s, England became the major power in colonial North America. But many European immigrants came to live in the English colonies. They included people from Sweden, Holland, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland. Immigrants still come to the United States seeking freedom and economic opportunities. Most new immigrants no longer come from Europe. They come mainly from Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Today, the US government limits the number of immigrants into the country each year. People who sneak illegally into the United States are called illegal immigrants, who, if caught, would be sent back to their home countries. Key Points Detailed Information (71)________ Immigrants are those who move to a foreign country to make their homes.

Many times, minor conflict and disagreements can result in violence. In order to avoid major problems, we need to understand what kind of conflict situations arise to provide help in preventing aggressive and violent behavior. Gossip If a teenager spreads gossip about another, this can cause hurt feelings, selfesteem issues and even violence. In order to solve the gossip problems, teenagers need to make an effort not to participate in spreading rumors. Fighting Many teenagers take out their anger on others through fighting. A teenager can learn how to manage this type of conflict through learning to recognize what causes anger. ParentChild Conflict As children become more independent, conflict arises with parents. If the teenager gets out of control in a disagreement, the parent should suggest taking a break from the discussion and returning to it later. Cyberbullying Cyberbullying consists of students who hack into other students’ social network sites. It also may consist of posting negative information on their own social networking sites about others. Parents can monitor for cyberbullying by checking their children’s social network accounts and becoming aware of their friend networks.

Understanding what to do with different conflict situations can help avoid agressive and violent behaviors. I once experienced an embarrassing conflict with my classmate last year. It was raining heavily outside and the classroom was a bit crowded. I was just about to sit down when my umbrella accidentally hit the head of the classmate sitting in front of me. I didn’t notice that, but she got extremely angry. She shouted at me at the top of her voice, saying I was rude and impolite. Embarrassed and a bit angry as I was, I calmed myself down and kept apologizing as gently as I could. Amazingly, it was my sincere apology and respect that calmed her down, too. It is very important not to respond to anger with anger in our daily life. As I see it, it does no harm to apologize first when conflict arises. In the long run, you will reap what you sow.查看更多
