Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.‎ The Kite Runner This realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.‎ The Book Thief Let’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.‎ The Fault in Our Stars This is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.‎ A Child Called “It”‎ Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.‎ ‎21. What do the four books have in common?‎ A. They are all about cruel wars. ‎ B. They are all about suffering children. ‎ C. They all probably make you cry. ‎ D. They are all adapted from true stories.‎ ‎22. Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly ?‎ A. The Kite Runner. B. The Book Thief.‎ C. The Fault in Our Stars. D. A Child Called “It”.‎ ‎23. The passage is intended to __________.‎ A. inspire us to read more B. introduce some moving books ‎ C. explain why we love reading D. advise us to buy some books B ‎ For a scholar focusing on Australia's public diplomacy (外交活动), working as a recreational manager in China may never be part of his career path. But Bradley does have lots to say now about his special experience at a resort in the picturesque tropical coastal city of Sanya in South China's Hainan province.‎ ‎ The 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Peking University less than two years ago. Such an academic life was just added color with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, "I'm in China".‎ ‎ "What I liked most about the experience was it was something completely different that you would never be able to do as a regular tourist," Bradley said in an interview. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding.‎ ‎ The film crew took them to many "amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to "incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs", Bradley said.‎ ‎ "I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable: the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said.‎ ‎ That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed in the "stunning" view of the beautiful coastline.‎ ‎ "I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or many other places people have been taken to in this TV series," Bradley said.‎ ‎ "I'm in China" is a project sponsored by China Intercontinental Communication Centre and other institutions under the guidance of China's State Council Information Office. It invites foreign natives worldwide to experience unique jobs and participate in activities that one can find nowhere else except in China. More than 10,000 photos and articles were submitted from around the globe by over 6,00 applicants.‎ 24. Bradley actually is ________.‎ A. an Australian PhD student B. a regular Australian tourist C. a recreational manager D. an Australian diplomat ‎25. What does the underlined word "incarporate" in paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. get rid of B. take advantage of C. take in D. keep off ‎26. What impressed Bradley most?‎ A. The beautiful scenery of Sanya and special activities.‎ B. Flying in a helicopter and organizing Chinese wedding.‎ C. Chinese traditional customs and many amazing sites.‎ D. The historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things in Shanghai.‎ ‎27．From the last paragraph, we can infer that the project "I'm in China" is ‎ ________.‎ A. funded by some international institutions ‎ B. special but helpless to know about China C. uninteresting and rejected by foreigners D. unique and popular with foreigners C A study showed that the experiences children have in their first few years are important . These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when they see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿)connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.‎ Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced images of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the pattern"A-B-B". Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the" A-B-B"pattern. This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.‎ Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. "Position is key to language," she says. "If something is at the beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: 'John caught the bear.' is very different from 'The bear caught John.'”‎ Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphones－no matter how educational－doesn’t appear to be enough for children’s brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group who’d ‎ watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge difference. The babies in the second group were able to distinguish between similar Chinese sounds as well as native listeners. But the other babies －regardless of whether they had watched the video or listened to the audio－learned nothing.‎ ‎28. What makes connections in a baby’s brain?‎ A. Having a higher IQ. B. Experiencing new information.‎ C. The baby’s early age. D. The connection with other babies.‎ ‎29. What did Judit Gervain and her team find in the experiment?‎ A. Babies can identify different sound patterns.‎ B. Word order is relevant to meaning.‎ C. Babies can well understand different words.‎ D. A certain brain region processes language.‎ ‎30. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3?‎ A. Words have different sounds.‎ B. Different orders have different meanings.‎ C. Different languages have different grammar.‎ D. Grammar is important in learning languages.‎ ‎31. What is the main conclusion from the study led by Patricia Kuhl?‎ A. Babies shouldn’t watch a lot of television.‎ B. Foreign languages help babies’ brain develop.‎ C. Listening to different languages develops babies’ brain.‎ D. Social communication improves babies’ brain development.‎ D The idea of turning recycled plastic bottles into clothing is not new. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and ‎ environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric(织物）to deal with plastic pollution. But there’s a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plastic in the sea.‎ Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic(合成的)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines can’t collect these microfibers. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers（下水道）and finally end up in the sea.‎ In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and freshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.‎ This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants.‎ Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that he's had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he asked well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Design—his research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didn’t get a satisfying answer. Only one women’s clothing company, Eileen Fisher, offered Browne funding.‎ ‎32. What has happened during the past five years?‎ A. Fabric has become much stronger. ‎ B. Plastic pollution has been less serious.‎ C. Many plastic wastes have been reused. ‎ D. Microfibers have been greatly improved.‎ ‎33. What does Browne think of washing synthetic clothes?‎ A. It is adding microfibers to the clothes. ‎ B. It is worsening environmental problems.‎ C. It is making synthetic clothes last longer. ‎ D. It is doing great damage to washing machines.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred about Browne’s Benign by Design research project?‎ A. It has achieved great success. B. It hasn’t got anything done.‎ C. It is known to very few people. D. It is facing some difficulties.‎ ‎35. What’s the best title for the text?‎ A. It’s important to learn to recycle ‎ B. It’s never easy to solve pollution problems C. Recycled plastic clothing: solution or pollution?‎ D. Are human beings moving forward or backward?‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Stop the Negative Talk ‎ It's easy for people to engage in self-critical conversation, and once it starts, there's often pressure for you to join in. But why is it acceptable to talk about ourselves so negatively? 36 . But before you know it, those opinions are let out of your conversations and into your life, where they start eating away at your self-confidence.‎ ‎ With a group of your friends, it feels normal to start a conversation by criticizing yourself. But when you start talking about yourself in a negative way,‎ ‎ you are not only affecting your self-confidence, but your friends'. So the easiest way to stop negative talk? 37 .‎ ‎ But what if someone else start? For example, your friend feels insecure about how well he played in his soccer game, so he puts himself down: "I did bad at soccer!" He's hoping someone will make him feel better, and because you are a good friend, you try: "No, you don't. You did great today!" 38 , because you both know the compliment (恭维) was just a reaction to his self-criticism.‎ ‎ 39 . Ask him, "Do you really think that? Why?" Whatever it is, talking through the real issue will help him more than a compliment or slipping into another session of negative talk.‎ ‎ It's important to talk to your friends about your insecurities(不安全感), but make sure you are not talking about them just for the sake of putting yourselves down. Instead of just focusing on the negative, talk about what makes you and your friends beautiful and unique, including why you love your body and what you've accomplished. 40 , you set yourself as an example, and everyone benefits from your positivity.‎ A．Don't start it B．But it doesn't really work C．When you show yourself love D．Maybe it's because it's encouraging E．Maybe it's because "just talking" feels harmless F．You should be self-confidence and respect yourself G．Instead, see if you can get to the root of the problem 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45 分）‎ 第一节（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A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。‎ Every act of kindness starts with something small, something we all can and should do every single day. I’m Will Ruhio, one of the 41 of BYUtv’s Random Acts show. We take hidden cameras to unexpected places to 42 random acts of kindness. We’ve filmed acts 43 from building disabled-friendly facilities(设施) for those who are badly 44 them but can’t afford them to returning a lost wallet.‎ On Random Acts, it may be a neighbor or a colleague who recognizes a need and 45 an incredible chain reaction of service. 46 the story of Emmalene Meyers for example. Like many young girls, Emmalene was 47 to be a ballet dancer, but her physical disability makes even everyday tasks a(n) 48 . Instead of seeing a limitation, Emmalene’s friend Lily 49 an opportunity. Lily imagined Emmalene’s dream being brought to life onstage and persuaded Random Acts to help make her plan 50 .‎ ‎ So, where can you start? The key is to be like Lily: look for an opportunity to make a 51 to those in need, and then take action to make it happen. Being 52 and involved in service is 53 like any other goal you want to achieve. You have to 54 it.‎ ‎ After two seasons of hosting Random Acts, the joy of 55 burdens and brightening lives doesn’t fade. I sometimes 56 Random Acts might lose its feature eventually, but that couldn’t be further from the 57 . When I finally meet the people we’ve been working to 58 and see their genuine shock and appreciation, it 59 me in the feel every time. I cry more than anyone else on the show.‎ ‎ Be that person doing acts of kindness out of the 60 of your heart—be the nice you want to see in the world!‎ ‎41.
