One day while trying to print all the class worksheets we needed for the day, I found myself shouting at my printer in front of my son. "Why won't this stupid thing print?" I shouted. My son came up to me quietly, saying, "Calm down, Mommy. Maybe if you don't shout at the printer, it will work. You need to have patience."

He was right. I needed patience-patience with this whole situation. I stopped myself, realizing this was not the behavior I wanted my son to see. He was also right that I needed to calm down. Just like what I told him to do, I took a few deep breaths and walked away from the collapsed printer. Later that day when we were outside, I tried to keep the sense of calm I had slightly achieved. Once I blocked out all the anxiety over the virus, school, and my work-I found the afternoon peaceful and pleasant. I played flying disc with my son, simply enjoying each other's company while the birds sang. It was an everyday moment I'll never take for granted again.

From then on, things got a little easier. I started to give myself, and everyone else, some favour. I stopped holding myself to my perfectionism standards with every little thing because they were truly impossible to keep to.

With that favour, I changed my focus. Getting every school worksheet done correctly is not important. Neither is cleaning the house. And, apart from getting fired, neither is my work. Spending time with my family, and staying healthy emotionally and physically, became my main concerns. We took walks. We danced our hearts out during the Disney Family Sing-Along. We got up early and walked secretly into our backyard with telescopes to bird watch. Who knows, birding may be the new hobby we're never giving up.

（4） Which of the following does the author think most important?

A . Watching birds. B . Doing house cleaning. C . Seeking after her career. D . Finishing school worksheets.

Dear Jenny,

Welcome to my school! When you arrive, there will be a party for you organizing by my classmates. You may attend to English classes to feel a differently learning style. After that, you can go to your host family that you can experience the Chinese way of life. You can have meals together chatting anything that interests us.

Scientists in Michigan have developed a forest fire alarm system. It can not only detect when a fire begins but also call for help. This battery-free device hangs like an ornament(装饰品) in a tree and harvests all the energy it needs from the natural swinging of branches. Such a sensor could watch the woods for a decade without human attention.

“For forest fire monitoring, you don't need high amounts of energy,” notes Cao Changyong, an engineer at Michigan State University who led the team behind the new device. It recharges itself about every 10 minutes with just enough power to take a measurement. That's plenty of time, Cao says, “to generate sufficient energy.”

There's an obvious need for fast monitoring of remote forests. Every year fires burn millions of acres in the United States. Early detection also can save lives right now. Forest fires are spotted from satellites or fire towers. Neither, Cao notes, is as fast or low-cost as tree-hanging sensors would be.

Cao's group faced some challenges in creating its new sensors. For example, these have to produce enough power to survey the forest and send out a signal and that power source has to be durable. To tackle the problems, they decided to convert(转化) mechanical motion into electricity. The device to do this is known as a TENG, short for triboelectric nanogenerator. Scientists have explored TENGs as one way to harvest energy from the natural world, including harvesting energy from impacts on tabletops, falling rain, and even keyboards. The new TENG for forest use produces a current when a tree branch swings. That current is small, yet enough to power a thermometer(温度计) to detect the temperature changes signaling a fire.

Cao says his team's new model has not yet been tested over long time periods in the real world, but the device is ready. All he needs now is the money to build more of them.

（1） What is special about Cao's sensor?

A . It is self-powered. B . It is shaped like a branch. C . It can be used as a charger. D . It keeps power for about a day.
（2） What advantage does Cao's sensor have over satellites and fire towers?

A . It can work for a longer time. B . It can monitor remoter forests. C . It can make quicker detection. D . It can be operated more easily.
（3） What does the underlined part “do this” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A . Turn mechanical energy into electrical power. B . Send out a signal when a fire breaks out. C . Detect temperature changes in forests. D . Collect electrical energy from nature.
（4） What can be the best title for the text?

A . Forest Fires Data Collected by Battery-Free Devices B . Forest Fires Predicted by Tree-Hanging Sensors C . A New Forest Fire Alarm System Arousing Forest Protection D . A New Forest Fire Alarm System Powered by Trees

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

I enjoy spend Sundays in a local forest park. I go there at the least twice a month because every visit is one-of-a-kind. The most attractive part of the visits are the unpredictability. Each time I have different experiences as if there were a director which designed an amazed performance for me. The actors are the energetic lives lived in the forest. I am a wildlife lover and particular love observing a variety birds. Now, even I am in senior high school, with lots of school tasks, I still took time to breathe the clean air in the forest on my spare time. The forest park is my favorite and it is a place with endless pleasure.

My friend Henry, with who I studied in the same class, didn't like studying at school. That's because he couldn't go to high school. He had to return back to his hometown, where his father wished him to learn to manage our small shop. However, the young man was not interesting in it and didn't do as his father said. He spends a lot of time reading and he also learned how to repair cars. Last month, I received an e-mail from him inviting me take my vacation on his hometown. I started off. Seeing that he was such successful, I said, “Henry, all road lead to Rome. You are great!”

Sam is a fourth-year student at Harvard Medical School, but poetry is still a big part of his life, now with a new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work. Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.

"Poetry is in every encounter(邂逅)with my patients. I think healing is really in a very great way about poetry. And if we do anything when we're with our patients, we're really immersing(使沉浸于)ourselves in their stories, really hearing their voices. And, certainly, that's what a poem does, "he said.

Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry. To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents(住院医生).

He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.

Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars. She said. "I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does. And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients interacting when patients are at their saddest. "Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.

Rafael said, "I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually. In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first. But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome. The family is sitting by the bedside. The patient hasn't survived the cancer. Don't we still have a role as healers there?"

In a poem titled" Health", Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy. He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.

（1） What do we know about Rafael Campo?

A . He works as a doctor. B . He is under medical care. C . He is a literature professor. D . He knows little about poetry.
（2） What does the author try to show in Paragraph 2 ?

A . The importance of medical training. B . The effect of poetry in medical treatment. C . The similarity involved in poetry and medical work. D . The present relationship between patients and doctors.
（3） What does Andrea Schwaflz think of poetry?

A . It comforts patients' family. B . It contributes to medical work. C . It has nothing to do with doctors. D . It keeps doctors away from patients.
（4） What is Rafael Campo's view on poetry?

A . It requires a lot of spare time. B . It can provide a useful tool for doctors. C . It has little effect on patients' conditions. D . It should be included in emergency treatments.

A Kickstarter launched Friday will allow interested parties to set up a camera and pet toys in their home for anyone to play with their pets remotely. It’s called the ipet Companion, an Internet-connected camera and device that streams video online and allows basic commands from people watching. They can move the camera, look at their pet and press a button to swing a toy around.

Obviously, demand is strong. The Kickstarter proved so popular that Scott Harris, iPet Companion’s founder, said that thousands of people started asking for it.

The reason why people keep talking about this is the emotional(情感的) connection they have from a thousand miles away. If you want, you can enter a queue to move the camera and play with the pets. Each room has toys that are hooked(钩住) into Internet-connected devices, and you can move them by pressing a button.

But there’s sort of a problem: Pets get bored easily. Young pets will stay more interested than adult pets, but finally even a baby pet will get bored, too. To stop that from happening, you’d better limit the pets’ access(接近) to the boys and change the place where they’re located in the room.

Harris understands this and said you can plug anything into that adapter(适配器) ---toys that you can get on your own. And that’s where the iPet Companion really gets interesting. Harris explained that the device is actually sort of a Trojan horse to bring the “Internet of things” to more homes. You don’t really have to use it for pets. The adapter could be used for any device with an electrical plug---a sprinkler, say, that you’d be able to activate to water your grass.

“Our whole goal, our whole purpose is to let anyone control any physical object that they want to while they travel anywhere in the woorld,” Harris said.

12. What does the underlined word “remotely” in Paragragh 1 probably mean?

A. far away.

B. For free.

C. With pity.

D. Out of control.

13. Many people are interested in iPet Companion because______________.

A. it can be used to kill time

B. it is easy to control online

C. it can meet all of their demands

D. they can show their love for faraway pets by using it

14. Why do the pets stop playing the toys soon?

A. Pets are not clever enough to play the toys.

B. They don’t receive rewards from the games.

C. Toys are played with too often at the same place.

D. Adult pets prevent young ones from playing the games.

15. What can we infer from what Scott Harris said?

A. iPet Companion is only a kind of toy.

B. Kickstarter can be used in many other ways.

C. iPet Companion can actually be turned into a toy horse.

D. iPet Companion can look after pets while their owners are away.

Happiness is what everyone looks for. 41 someone says that he is happy. However, 42 makes him happy may not work for others. And even 43 , someone may spend all his life looking for happiness, but in vain.

In the past, I tried my best to make myself happy. I thought if I could 44 get and do what I wanted to, I would be happy. Certainly, it was 45 , but I was disappointed. Though I could be happy at 46 , I couldn’t keep my happiness for a long time. Why?

One day, when I told a friend of mine what I 47 about happiness, he smiled and said only a few words “Happiness is not a 48 thing but a by-product ( 副产品). ”

I was surprised, but he was really 49 . Someone thinks money can 50 everything, but when he becomes a millionaire after his hard work, perhaps he will find that he has new 51 . And he has to go to church for 52 . Sometimes love can bring happiness, but at other times it 53 misunderstanding, tiredness and even quarrelling.

Happiness is only a by-product of all 54 of things you love to do. You can not 55 it in a straight way. That is, it is not a thing 56 in the material form but in your senses.

You should tell yourself, “I do not 57 whether I am happy or not. But I must love 58 ”. And one day you will 59 find happiness itself has quietly 60 .

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? 16

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 17 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 18 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

19 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “ 20 ”

A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.

B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.

C. What people want to express is like this.

D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.

E. It needs exercise.

Glynis Davis:

I first piled on the pounds when I was in the family way and I couldn’t lose them afterwards．Then I joined a slimming club．My target was 140 pounds and I lost 30 pounds in six months．I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked．But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits．I told myself I’d lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year… but it didn’t happen．Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on．I’d lost willpower and tried to believe that the old bag of fish and chips didn’t make any difference---but the scales don’t lie．

Roz Juma:

To be honest, I never weigh myself any more．I’ve learnt to be happy with myself．It seemed to me that I would feel sorry about every spoonful of tasty food that passed my lips．My idea is simple．You shouldn’t be too much thinking about food and dieting．Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming of a super thin body．This is obviously the size I’m meant to be and, most of all, I’m happy with it．

Lesley Codwin:

I was very happy at winning Young Slimmer of the year．I’d look in the mirror unable to believe this slim lady was me! That might have been my problem—perhaps from then on I didn’t pay any attention to myself．Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though．Because you feel the eyes of the world are fixed upon you．I feel a complete failure because I’ve put on weight again．

Ros Langfod:

Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I’d always been about 110 pounds, but the pleasant housework went straight to my waist and I put on 15 pounds in a year．Every so often I try to go on a diet… I’m really good in a few days, then end up having the children’s leftovers or eating happily chocolate—my weakness．I’d like to be slim, but right now my duty is the children and home．I might take more exercise when my kids are older．

32．What do you think the four women were talking about?

A．Their life after marriage． B． Their own slimming matter．

34．What does the underlined word “scales” possibly mean?

A．Some tool to measure weight． B． The coach in the slimming club．

C．Glynis Davis’ dear husband． D．The salesperson in a food shop．

35．Which of the following best describes each of the four women’s attitudes towards slimming?

① Glynis Davis a．I put on weight soon after I got married．

In 1991 British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee published the first-ever website while working at CERN, a huge physics lab in Switzerland. Within ten years, sites such as eBay, Amazon and Google had appeared and the Web was changing society by changing how people communicate, shop and get information.

Berners-Lee was born in 1955 and studied physics at Oxford. While employed at CERN in the 1980s, Berners-Lee noticed how hard it was to keep track of the projects and computer systems of the organization's thousands of researchers, who were spread around the world. As he later stated, “In those days, there was different information on different computers, but you had to log on(登陆)to different computers to get at it. Also, sometimes you had to learn a different program on each computer.”

In March 1989, Berners-Lee gave managers at CERN a suggestion for an information management system that linked documents on different computers that were connected to the Internet. In 1990 the Englishman's boss gave him time to work on the project. After first calling the project Information Management, Berners-Lee tried out names such as Mine of Information and Information Mesh before settling on World Wide Web.

The beginning of the Web as a publicly available(可用的)service on the Internet arrived on August 6, 1991, when Berners-Lee published the first ever website. Fittingly, the site was about the World Wide Web project, describing the Web and how to use it.

Berners-Lee didn't try to cash in on his invention and turned down CERN's call to patent(申请专利)his Web technology. He wanted the Web to be open and free so it could be used as widely as possible.

32．What caused Berners-Lee to invent the Web?

A．His love for invention.

B．The managers' command.

C．The need to manage information.

D．The necessity of learning different programs.

33．What was Berners-Lee's project first called?

A．Information Management.

B．Mine of Information.

C．Information Mesh.

D．World Wide Web.

34．After the Web was invented, Berners-Lee________.

A．made money on his invention

B．patented his Web technology

C．allowed it to be used for free

D．used it to make himself popular

35．Which of the following can best describe Berners-Lee?

A．Brave and gifted.

B．Patient and kind.

C．Hard-working and attractive.

D．Creative and generous.
