I was one of the young US soldiers in Saudi Arabia. At a time before the Internet, our only lifeline to friends and family was the mail we sent and received.
One evening the mail soldier called my name and, instead of a letter, handed me a large box from my grandmother back in Oklahoma. One of the great hardships of the war for me was the absence of my grandmother’s cooking---her fried chicken and onion, corn bread, and, most
of all, her desserts. But on that evening I was about to take a gastronomic(美食的) journey home: I opened the box to find two dozen my grandmother’s pies.
A man from New York approached and asked me what I had received. I couldn’t answer: my mouth was full of pie. So I just offered him one. “So nice!”he said. “What are they?” He had to wait a few moments for an answer, but eventually I explained. As insurance, I offered him another pie to keep quiet.
Once a day for the next three weeks, I imagined returning home to my grandmother’s kitchen, if only for a few sweet bites at a time.
Some of my earliest memories are associated with my grandmother’s pies. She had been baking pies since before the Great Depression. She would have astonished the judges on today’s TV cooking challenges. I remember coming across a persimmon(柿子) tree once while out hiking. It was autumn, and the fruit was soft and sweet. I picked a few dozen and brought them to Grandma. Guess what! The next day I walked into her kitchen to find a persimmon pie waiting for me.
25. What can we infer about the US soldiers?
A. They were familiar with the pies.
B. They were eager to get their mails.
C. They were forbidden to use the Internet.
D. They seldom got in touch with the outside.
26. Why did the author offer the soldier another pie?
A. To prove it was made by Grandma.
B. To make the soldier judge the taste.
C. To indicate he was generous.
D. To let himself enjoy the pies.
27. Why did the author mention the persimmon pie?
A. To look back on the hiking day.
B. To appreciate Grandma’s devotion to him.
C. To show Grandma’s pie-making skills.
D. To explain Grandma’s pie-making history.
C
"My neighbor doesn't speak English, but her kindness needs no translation." Angie Morris, an 81-year-old Canadian woman who grew up in wartime Britain and now lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, was describing how her next-door neighbor, Ms Wing, a 68-year-old Chinese woman, voluntarily cooks meals for her every day. She called it "the ultimate home-delivery service".Morris' moving, first-person narrative which was published last week by the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, has gone viral, with more than 24,000 online reports.
"I know what is inside the paper carrier bag," she wrote. "A thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence."
Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery. She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor, even though the two women have no
way of communicating verbally. Wing speaks only Mandarin, and Morris' Mandarin is limited to ni hao (hello).
"So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other's language, but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing," Morris wrote.
Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.
"You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life," one reader commented. "I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict. The point is, most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places like this country can offer."
28. Why did Ms. Wing cook meals for Morris?
A. Morris had some health problems. B. Wing was an expert cook.
C. Ms.Wing had nothing else to do. D. They were raised in the same place.
29. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. Wing?
A. Kind-hearted. B. Sensitive.
C. Communicative D. Arrogant.
30. What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?
A. Most people in this world are having a good life.
B. People from different countries easily have conflicts.
C. Old Ireland is a place where children can grow up safe.
D. People are impressed and moved by Ms. Wing’s behavior.
31. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. A Voluntary Cook. B. Serving Your Neighbor.
C. Kindness beyond Language. D. Nutritious Meals.
D
Piaget’s theory of cognitive(认知的)development is a theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1860-1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use _it_. Piaget’s theory is mainly known as a developmental stage theory.
To Piaget, cognitive development was a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience. He believed that children construct an understanding of the world around them, experience differences between what they already know and what they discover in their environment, and then adjust their ideas accordingly. Besides, Piaget claimed that cognitive development is at the center of the human organism, and language is depending on knowledge and understanding acquired through cognitive development.
Piaget’s earlier work received the greatest attention. Child-centered classrooms and “open education” are direct applications of Piaget’s views. Despite its huge success, Piaget’s theory is
not perfect and Piaget has recognized it himself: for example, the theory supports sharp stages rather than continuous development.
Piaget noted that reality is a dynamic system of continuous change. Reality is defined(给……下定义)in reference to the two conditions that define dynamic systems. Specifically, he argued that reality involves transformations and states. Transformations refer to all manner of changes that a thing or person can experience. States refer to the conditions or the appearances in which things or persons can be found between transformations. For example, there might be changes in shape or form, in size, or in placement or location in space and time. Thus, Piaget argued, if human intelligence is to be adaptive, it must have functions to represent both the transformational and the static aspects of reality.
32. What does the underlined “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The theory. B. Cognitive development.
C. The knowledge itself. D. The development of human intelligence.
33. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development .
A. has some limitations
B. applied “open education”
C. wasn’t well received in the beginning
D. is about human nature and development
34. What are the two conditions of reality?
A. Space and time. B. Transformations and states.
C. Changes in shape and form. D. The conditions and the appearance.
35. Which can serve as the best title for this text?
A. Piaget’s contribution to a theory
B. The applications of Piaget’s theory
C. The development of Piaget’s theory
D. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development

Why we still need to read Dickens
Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today. _36_
As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind. _37_ One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’ writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes. _38_ “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teaches you how to think,” I said.
The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.
_39_ But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer
continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’ novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.
Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times._40__If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read
it andenjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.
A. Then a hand shot up.
B. And they are placed on outstanding shelves.
C. I know that wasn’t really the reason.
D. I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.
E. That’s why we still need to read him today.
F. That question was never more troubling.
G. These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.

Experts say boredom is good for kids. It forces them to be creative, _41_ their imaginations, and helps them discover new things. A(n) _42_ in point is 13-year-old Luke Thrill from Dubuque, Iowa.
Luke was _43_ of playing video games and riding his bike, so he decided to build a tiny house in his backyard instead. He made money from cutting lawns(草坪) and _44_ exchanged some services, such as gaining the help of an electrical engineer _45_ sweeping his garage. Luke also _46_ spare materials from his grandmother's house and other _47_ materials from his neighbors for some of the windows and the door.
The 89-square-foot home cost $1, 500 to build and _48_ 18 months. Inside there's a kitchenette, a back sitting room, a table and a mounted(镶嵌的) TV, and an upstairs bedroom can be easily _49_ by stairway.
Although Luke did the _50_ and learned how to do all the work, he had his father's _51_ throughout the project. Greg Thrill was very happy that his son learned to stay on _52_ and deal with grown-ups. _53_, he had some simple rules when Luke _54_ the house: “You _55_ the money. You build it. And you own it.”
Luke is now in love with _56_. He has a YouTube channel and hopes to _57_ other kids to start building. _58_ , he wants to build a bigger tiny house to live in, but for now, he _59_ in his new home a few nights a week, does homework there, and uses it to take a _60_ from his twin brother.
