They were filled with anticipation for the exam to begin. The teacher handed out the exams with the text facing down, as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked the students to turn over the papers. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions — just a black dot or circle in the center of the paper. The teacher, seeing the expression on everyone's face, said, "I want you to write down what you see on the paper." The students got started on the task.第 4 页，共 13 页 At the end of the class, the teacher took all of the papers, and started reading each of them in front of all the students. All of them described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the center of the paper. After all had been read, the teacher asked, "Why no one wrote about the white part of the paper?" Then he added, "I'm not going to grade you on this. I just wanted to give you something to think about. Does the same thing happen in our lives? Do we usually pay attention to the black dots in our life, such as the health problems that worry us, the difficult relationship with family members and the disappointment with friends?" "Actually, the dark dots are very small when compared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds," he concluded, "Take your eyes away from the black dots in your lives. Enjoy each of your happy moments that life gives you." 4.What does the underlined word "anticipation" in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Doubt. B. Excitement. C. Concern. D.

Happy Moments in Life Earlier research suggested we're best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It's supposed to be much harder for older kids. The window on when people can learn the rules and structures of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18. But that's not so, says psychologist(心理学家) Joshua Hartshorne. Hartshorne asked friends to take an online English grammar test. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived, the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. It also asked how long they'd lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped, people shared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne's group study the answers from 669,498 native and non-native speakers of English. The researchers used statistics(统计数据) to find out when people with different English-speaking experiences reached their top grammar ability. If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learned both English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a little worse than people who spoke English only, the researchers found. The test results showed that around age 17, people's ability to learn grammar took a nosedive(急剧下降). And those who started 第 6 页，共 13 页 learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger. Why? The researchers think it's because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at 17. But here's the surprise: Language learning did not end at 17. People's English skills kept improving a little until around age 30, the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language. Still, most language learning happened by age 20, the new study decided. 8.What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research? A. Before age 5. B. From 5 to 12. C. Around the age of 17. D. About 30 years old. 9.How did Hartshorne get his study statistics? A. By collecting earlier study results. B. By studying historical records. C. By experimenting in the lab. D. By making online surveys. 10.Which of the following agrees with the study results? A. Language learning ends at the age of 17.第 7 页，共 13 页 B. Language learning needs much practice. C. The more languages you learn, the better. D. It is best to learn a language after the age of 20. 11.What is the text mainly talking about? A. Native speakers learn English earlier. B. Best ways to learn foreign languages. C. The best age period to learn a language. D. Non-native speakers can never master a language. What are two things that make humans different from animals? One is language and the other is music. It's true that some animals can sing. However, the songs of animals like birds are very limited. It's also true that humans, not animals, have developed musical instruments. Music is a strange thing. It's clearly different from language. However, people can use music to communicate things — especially their emotions(情感). When music is combined with speech in a song, it's a very powerful form of communication. If music is truly different from speech, then we should process music and language in different parts of the brain. The scientific study suggests this is true. For example, Vissarion Shebalin, a Russian composer, had a stroke(中风) in 1953. It injured the left side of his brain. He could no longer speak or understand speech. He could, however, still compose(谱曲) music until his death ten years later. On the other hand, sometimes strokes cause people to lose their musical ability, but they can still speak and understand speech. 4.Why does music have such a strong effect on/upon us physically and emotionally? That's a harder question to answer. Geoffrey Miller, a researcher at University College, London, thinks that music and love have a strong connection. Music requires special talent, practice and physical ability. That's why it may be a way of showing your fitness to be someone's mate. For example, playing a 第 8 页，共 13 页 musical instrument requires fine muscular(肌肉的) control. You also need a good memory to remember the notes. And playing those notes correctly suggests that your hearing is in excellent condition. Finally, when a man sings to the woman he loves, it may be a way of showing off. However, Miller's theory still doesn't explain why certain combinations of sounds influence our emotions so deeply. For scientists, this is clearly an area that needs further research. 12.What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce the main topic. B. To show the author's attitude. C. To analyze causes. D. To describe a process. 13.Music is considered powerful when it . A. is translated into a language B. is combined with speech in a song C. is sung by some famous musician D. is mixed with the cry of an animal 14.The example of Vissarion Shehalin is used to show that . A. he is one of the luckiest people第 9 页，共 13 页 B. he is really interested in composing music C. the brain process music and language separately D. music and language are two different things for some 15.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Effects of music on humans. B. A study on how music works. C. Reasons why music affects us. D. Ways of using music in daily life. How to manage your phone's data use Smart phones give you access to a wealth of(许多/大量的+U) information and media, but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. A typical phone agreement includes a data allowance(数据流量) of between 500MB and 10GB per month. 16 You see, your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly — watching a film on the phone is about 700MB in SD, an hour of streaming TV is around 500MB or 60-140MB for the same of radio, chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40MB. 17 If possible, wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone's data features. When you are on the road, use your car's GPS, not your phone, to find your way. 18 But maps are preloaded in a GPS, making this free to use. 19 Many of these are supported by ads that pop up on your screen. Every ad has to download through your network, using up your data allowance. If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone, consider a data-compressing(压缩) app, such as Onavo (www.onavo.com). 20 So you use less of your monthly allowance. You may have to subscribe(订阅) to such compression services, so you'll need to weigh up whether it's worth the cost.第 10 页，共 13 页 A. The more data, the higher the monthly cost. B. Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go. C. Try these tips to better manage your data usage. D. It compresses data before it is fed to your phone. E. But you might end up paying more than expected. F. The phone has to download map data as you move. G. Be careful of how many "free" games you play on the move. When I was twelve, we wanted a swimming pool. My father was a teacher and we couldn't 21 it. But we had the nicest lawn(草坪) and flowers in the neighbourhood.

She is also the first Chinese citizen to win (win) the Nobel Prize for medicine. The prize winning is an honour for China's science cause and traditional Chinese medicine. "These two discoveries (discover) provide humankind with a new way to fight these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people annually. The award for Tu Youyou is the result of a major change in the way China performs scientific research. China has spent (spend) a lot of money on such research over the past years," a member of the Nobel Committee said. When you think about 42 affects your kids most, you might think about their friends, rock stars, sports stars or other famous people. But that's not 42 (complete) true. Whether they'll admit it 42 not, most kids — even teenagers — look up to 42 (they) parents. What you do, how you act and what you say have a huge effect 42 your children. To your kids, you're a hero.

A report released by the National Education Association tells us that when parents are involved, kids stay longer (long) in school, do better in school and even like school more. It was an early Saturday morning in August. When we reached to the kitchen, there was big surprise for my brother — his favorite breakfast. Clear, it was an important day for him, as he would left home to go to college. After finish breakfast, my brother said to me, "It's time, brother." I think he was meaning his time to leave the house. However, he explained all of the important works that I would need to do after he was gone. He said that it was time for you to take on a bigger role in the family. At that point, I understood that my brother meant. He was teaching me something about family, love or duty.

Since the restaurant in China usually serves special dish of different areas, you can enjoy various Chinese foods whenever you are. I'm looking forward to meet you here so that I can tell you more about Chinese food at table. Best wishes. Yours, Li Hua
