I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s.
When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she
was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband
just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don't know how
I’m going to get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the cashier food stamps（食品券）.
My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for
her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?
As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart.
I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn't a handful
of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
My heart pounded (狂跳) as I approached the woman.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit, “I couldn’t help overhearing what
you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right
now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through
her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I
didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh
my. Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.
The words on the card were “You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a 5
project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside me.
Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and
started sharing them.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?
A. The woman and her family were having a tough lime.
B. The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.
C. The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.
D. The author wondered why the cashier was familiar with the woman.
25. The woman cried when she got the card, probably because _________.
A. it could solve her present problem B. she could use it to buy food
C. it greatly encouraged her D. it could land her husband a job
26. The underlined word “startled” in Paragraph 10 probably means _________.
A. interested B. grateful C. ashamed D. astonished
27. From the article, we can tell that the author is_________ .
A. a knowledgeable person B. a kind-hearted person
C. a horrible person D. a confident person
C
For many adolescents, “screen time” is almost a full-time job that could lead to
obesity, diabetes and other health issues, a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of
screen, whether it’s a television or computer screen or one of the many portable
devices now popular with young people, studies done by Dr. Ian Michael Janssen
show. “They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom
in a given year,” said Janssen, a researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada.
The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately, fixing the
problem isn’t as easy as simply cutting down screen time, Janssen cautions.
“Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels,” said
Janssen, Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer
screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical
activity, he points out.
As well, screen time is not necessarily bad, Janssen said. “The tricky part is that
children today need to be using computers,” he said. Computers are required for
schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The
quality of screen time matters too, along with the quantity---consider the negative
health messages found in food advertising during children’s shows, he said. Ideally,
children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen’s real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are 6
now rare cases of type 2 diabetes in kids, where once there were none, but the health
problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults, including high blood
pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
28. Which one doesn’t belong to “screen time” according to the passage?
A. Watching TV. B. Surfing the Internet.
C. Seeing a film on an MP4. D. Making a telephone call.
29. In Janssen’s opinion, what kids should do to keep healthy?
A. lose weight. B. decrease screen time
C. take physical activities D. go on a diet
30. What’s the researcher’s attitude towards “screen time of adolescents"?
A. Concerned. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Frightened,
31. What can we learn from the passage?
A. decreasing screen time can’t really solve the problem
B. a new type of obesity in kids becomes Janssen’s real worry
C. children today most use computers to finish their school work
D. many of the people having full-time jobs suffer from obesity and diabetes.
D
Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you’ve completely forgotten
what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years
we’ve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray
hair. But now a new book suggests that we’ve got it all wrong.
According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara
Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age.
In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between
our 40s and 60s — much later than previously thought.
Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep them, and
even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain,
much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what
happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.
This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them
every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on
cognitive ( 认 知 的 ) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s.
Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how
many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they performed less
well was number ability and perceptual (感知的)speed — how fast you can push a
button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving
and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are 7
now coming up with scientific evidence that we do get wiser with age.
Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study
found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is
thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of
life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older
we’ve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life: therefore,
it becomes more important for us to be happy.
32.Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.
A. the young are better at handling important things
B. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s
C. aging leads to the decline of the function of the brain
D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging
33.The continuing research has found older people perform better on ______.
A. perceptual speed B. number ability
C. vocabulary tests D. body balance
34.People are happier with aging because ______.
A. they learn to value the time left B. they know how to share feelings
C. they cannot focus on negative aspects D. they do not realize the possible dangers
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People get happier with age. B. People get wiser with age.
C. People get more forgetful with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.

Last week, I, along with the rest of my grade, went on a 18-hour survival training
trip. When we arrived in, we put up our tents before making lunch. Then we
participated in team-building activity such as dragon boat racing or rock climbing.
They were all extremely fun yet tiring. The most excited event was the boat racing, as
I have never been in a dragon boat before. The thrilling feeling of riding over the
waves will stay my mind forever. By the end of the day, they were all sweaty and
exhausted. We packed up the next morning, take back with us our new created
memories.

第二节 参考范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am a senior three student from China. Having learned from my school website
that a summer camp will be held by Oxford University, I am writing to apply for a
place.
I believe my abilities make me stand out. First, I am passionate about English.
Participating in English speaking competitions has given me strong communication
skills. Therefore, I am able to speak English with fluency.
This program attracts me for several reasons. First, it would give me an
opportunity to get to know Oxford University, my dream school. Second, I would be
able to attend culture fairs and visit different cities, which would give me a better 12
understanding of Western culture.
I would treasure the chance to improve myself at the summer camp. I am looking
forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
