Though not as much as in the past, grandparents are the teachers of the Navajo (纳瓦霍人) youth. 第三次段考 第2页 共 9 页
They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents allow them the privilege of teaching the
children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising them.
Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting
relationship. The grandparents teach them Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new
culture trends and the preservation of traditions.
The grandparents are also the leading figure in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the
livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.
The children are taught to respect their elders, care for them, help them and learn from them. Young
people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and keep as much wisdom as possible.
Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and young people have opportunities to
learn more about their culture and traditions.
I lived with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people.
Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. If I had a chance,
I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.
We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we
planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more
beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I didn’t understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was
coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the
things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. I’m glad she is a part of me and I’m a
part of her.
Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, traditions and beliefs than
they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have
less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their
teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.
3. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?
A. Grandparents are the source of traditional culture.
B. Parents hate to take the trouble to raise their children.
C. Early schooling isn’t very popular with the young Navajo.
D. Children learn about the meaning of life from their grandparents.
4. The underlined word “figure” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ”
A. persons B. pioneers C. examples D. representatives
5. Why did the author’s grandmother plant corn and pumpkin?
A. She had to feed her family members.
B. She tried to make full use of her garden.
C. She wanted her grandson to learn a life lesson.
D. She expected her grandson to learn about farming. 第三次段考 第3页 共 9 页
6. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A. To honor his beloved grandmother. B. To stress the greatness of the Navajo.
C. To share with readers a Navajo culture. D. To show the influence of Navajo traditions.
C
Over 130 schoolmates from the Society for Science & the Public’s high school science competitions
gathered for a panel (座谈小组) discussion. Hosted by Society President Maya Ajmera, the panel consisted
of science professionals and Society schoolmates.
Ajmera started the event by asking the successful women panelists about young scientists faced when
entering the professional world.
Hackman, a health policy reporter for the Wall Street Journal, admitted that in following a career in
science, some scientists dislike the long, seemingly dull lab hours when they could follow a job with more
“shine”.
About what was hoped for in their career, Angel, who founded Science from Scientists, encouraged
the audience to ask themselves, “What influence did I have? What did I leave behind?” She hoped her
company, whose task was to help children in grades 4 — 8 develop a love for math and science, will live
beyond her. “Even if you help one person,” she reflected, “you have already made a difference”.
As for their support systems, they agreed on the value and support of the family in their professional
development, Hackman shared her background as a first generation Iranian American and how her parents
who knew little about science had fled the Iranian Revolution. While working with mother to complete her
STS project, Hackman was surprised and grateful because while her mother did not understand the research,
her willingness to learn and help made all the difference.
The panelists’ stories and advice surely inspired the younger generations to follow a career in STEM.
Ajmera was glad to see the diversity among the panelists and the audience, encouraging everyone to
continue breaking barriers. Though a career path in the STEM is not always easy, it can be rewarding,
especially when you have a great team behind you.
7. What challenge do young scientists have?
A. Their work is tiring and boring. B. Their task is hard and stressful.
C. Their work is mainly done in labs. D. Their advantages are often ignored.
8. What does Angel suggest to the audience?
A. Struggling to succeed. B. Leaving positive influence.
C. Determining to be scientists. D. Offering more help to the poor.
9. Why does Hackman mention her background?
A. To ask people to love their family. B. To show why she took up science.
C. To call on people to value science. D. To show the importance of family support.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us? 第三次段考 第4页 共 9 页
A. The greatness to be scientists. B. The effects the panel discussion has.
C. The need to break barriers in science. D. The diversity among the panelists and the audience.
D
This is our country, America. The country where everyone is supposed to have a shot at financial
success. The country of dreams and ambition. Yet, caused by the endless pursuit of individual profit, our
country is a mess. And we owe it all to capitalism.
We live in a society where people are forced to live without health coverage. A country where the poor
can hardly feed themselves while the rich decide which one of their 10 homes to stay at for the night. All of
these sad things arise out of capitalism.
Sadly, our country values little more than money. It motivates our decisions and even influences entire
political parties. We have gotten to the point in society where a human life comes secondary to our
financial security. Any rational society would value life above all else and realize that health is a basic
human right. Yet in our world, money comes first.
I never once have claimed to be an economist and have no interest in debating the financial advantages
of any economic system. Yet socialism surely looks better than what we have.
If we lived in a socialist society, we would be a country without such an unfair wealth distribution. We
would value friendship over business and we would treat one another as humans. Most importantly,
however, is that money would stop controlling our lives and we could act how humans should act.
Capitalism has created an “every man for himself” existence. Everything is a battle for limited
resources and fuels. We have become so accustomed to the life value that we will do whatever we have to
look out for ourselves. Yet is this really the kind of life we want?
We have become so illusioned. We are tired of the misdirection. All economic systems have their
issues, but I feel like ours is turning our country into something it shouldn’t be. The good of man falls
secondary to money. In our world, it is all about dollars and cents, which, unfortunately for most, makes no
sense.
11. In the author’s opinion, the root cause of the present situation in his country is __________.
A. money B. people’s value C. social unfairness D. social system
12. According to the passage, which is NOT the characteristic of capitalism?
A. individualism B. endless pursuit of wealth
C. humanism D. great gap between the rich and the poor
13. How does the author feel about his country?
A. concerned B. angry C. skeptical D. hopeless
14. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. Socialism is perfect.
B. Health is equally important as wealth. 第三次段考 第5页 共 9 页
C. The pursuit for wealth should be restricted.
D. Life should be placed at the top of our considerations.
15. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. How to Save America B. Capitalism Is in Trouble
C. Why Is America in Trouble D. America Is in Trouble

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。
A kiln (窑) is a type of oven or furnace used to cure, harden, or burn certain materials. Depending on
which materials are heated in it, a kiln may be square, tunnel shaped, or beehive shaped, and usually made
of brick or stone. 16 It may be set as low as sixty-five degrees to cure grain or as high as 3,200
degrees to transform limestone to quicklime (熟石灰).
17 They have a variety of purposes. The cement(水泥) industry uses revolving kilns to heat
and separate raw materials. Bricks, pottery, and china made from clay must be fired, or hardened, in kilns.
Certain kinds of coal and wood must be kiln-dried before they can be used. Hobbyists use small kilns to
fire a variety of ceramic(陶瓷) objects.
There are two main types of kilns. A periodic kiln, used to fire certain kinds of delicate china, is raised
to a high temperature and then completely cooled before its contents are removed. A continuous, or tunnel
kiln contains several chambers, or zones, which heat, bake, and cool a product. Stacks of clay bricks move
through a tunnel kiln on tracks. 18
Gas, oil, and coal are all used to heat modern kilns. 19 But for special jobs, where cleanliness
and careful heat are important, kilns must be heated by electricity oven though it is more expensive. Small
kilns used in the home or in craft shops are also heated electrically because electricity is clean and
convenient.
20 When ancient people discovered that heat hardened some materials, they were able to make
durable household objects such as jugs and bowls. Today our museums display many kinds of ancient
statues and art objects that have lasted because they had been kiln-dried. They come from lands as far apart
as China and Greece.
A. Its temperature may vary.
B. Then they come out, hardened, and cooled.
C. Kilns are used in industry and in craft-making.
D. Kilns have been in use for thousands of years.
E. An electric kiln is a heating chamber used to transform materials.
F. Most manufacturers use whichever material is cheapest in their area.
G. Clay, when heated properly, becomes hard enough to form bowls and plates. 第三次段考 第6页 共 9 页

56 God created the first two people, Adam and his wife Eve, they lived in a beautiful garden-like
paradise called Eden. They experienced close and loving fellowship with God all of the time. There were
many wonderful things 57 (eat) in Eden, and God said that Adam and Eve were free to eat any of those
things 58 the fruit of a special tree called “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. Satan, 59
angel 60 had rebelled (反叛) against God, hated God so much that he wanted to destroy the
relationship between them. Finally, he had both of them look at the fruit of the tree and said, “Doesn’t that
look delicious?” 61 (sad), both Adam and Eve took Satan’s advice and ate the 62 (forbid)
fruit. At that instant, their special relationship with God was broken, and they became spiritually separated
from him. They were so aware of their new condition that they even tried to hide from God. This 63
(separate) was more than just a bad feeling. Not only did Adam and Eve’s first sin(罪)corrupt their own
hearts, but also it corrupted all who came after them. The second sin followed quickly after the first, and
many more followed after that. The tendency to rebel against God’s perfect standards of right 64
wrong became a part of mankind’s nature and 65 (pass) on from generation to generation ever
since.

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes passed,
but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus
arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught one. If I chose to take a next bus,
I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible
waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this
experience.
