Until I was 13, I assumed I was just like everyone else. But one day I read a piece of paper in my dad’s briefcase that 16 everything. That’s when I saw the words: “Simone is said to have Asperger syndrome (自闭症).”
I screamed at my dad, “Tell me what it is!” He 17 that I have a mild form of brain disorders, which was a problem that shapes the way I interact with other people. I wasn’t sure exactly what he 18 , but it didn’t matter. I just wanted to try to 19 my shock and go back to the way things were before I knew.
But even though I wouldn’t 20 accept the fact, Asperger’s (Asperger syndrome) still destroyed my confidence and made me 21 . I felt like an outcast(被抛弃者) —not just because Asperger’s made it hard for me to make friends, but because now I had this 22 . I just wanted to be like everyone else. 23 , at 16, I said to myself, “Enough! You can’t run and hide from it, girl. Just face it.”
It’s funny, the first time I thought something was 24 was not because of what I couldn’t do—it was because of what I could do. In the sixth grade, while other kids were
25 with spelling, I was like a human spell-checker! I’ve also had a photographic memory, and what I call my “super powers”—extrasensory hearing and acute 26 : I can
27 phone numbers people dial just by the sound the buttons make when pressed or
28 hear one incorrect note in an entire symphony! And I can 29 pay attention to two things at once.
Don’t get me wrong. Asperger’s can be very confusing. For years I felt like a butterfly
30 in its cocoon (茧),waiting to fly. It took years of work with a psychologist to get over the 31 of making friends.
I’m not going to let Asperger’s create 32 for me. That’ why I am happy to have found out about and faced my 33 . Asperger’s is a metaphor (象征) for life: We all have

第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“Hi, Mrs. Grady,” said Mark when their neighbor opened her door. “Would you like us to shovel(铲) your sidewalk and driveway?” Shoveling was Jamie’s idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.
Mrs. Grady was happy, “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me.”
“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said. “If that’s OK,” Mark added.
“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly, “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.”
Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later.”

莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
Mrs. Grady doesn’t look like the person who’d come to Mark’s rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn’s dog Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. He wanted to call for help, but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street. “Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” “Goldie” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Mark and the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood firm as a rock in front of him. “Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along. “Get!” Goldie had obeyed.
When Mark showed thanks to Mrs. Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed. “It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they?”
And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. He smiled and waved at Mrs. Grady, then his shovel deep into the snow.
“Hey!” Jamie shouted. “What are you doing?” Mark couldn’t explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbors. “I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,” he said.
36. Why did Jamie and Mark plan to clear the snow for Mrs. Grady at first?
A. To help the lady. B. To visit New Kingdom.
C. To do volunteer work. D. To earn pocket money.
37. Mrs. Grady couldn’t pay them most probably because ________.
A. she didn’t have enough cash B. she couldn’t find the bank
C. she thought it was worthless D. she couldn’t afford it
38. According to the story, which of the following words can be used to describe Mrs. Grady best?
A. Greedy. B. Hopeful. C. Hardworking. D. Helpful.
39. Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story?

C
Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop,because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule —no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas.
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
43. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________.
A. the course materials B. discussion topics
C. the author’s class regulations D. others’ misuse of technology
44. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The author’s history class received low assessment.
B. The students think highly of the author’s history class.
C. The author made the rule in that he was against technology.
D. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
45. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.
A. improve teaching and offer more help
B. prohibit students being involved in class
C. allow students to get on well with each other
D. help students to better understand complex themes
46. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The author will carry on the success in the future.
B. Some students will be punished according to the rule.
C. More and more students will be absent in history class.
D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.
D
There is plenty of complaints about how social media-texting in particular—may be harming children’s social and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging (IM’ing) and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those who are introverted (内向的).
British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of the participants were “regular” or “extensive” IM’ers. In the U. S., two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
莲山课件http://www.5ykj.com/
The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior. In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IM’ing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distress—not enough to completely eliminate it, but enough to leave them feeling better than they had before reaching out.
“Our findings suggest that IM’ing between distressed adolescents and their peers may provide emotional relief and consequently contribute to their well-being,” the authors write, noting that prior research has shown that people assigned to talk to a stranger either in real life or online improved their mood in both settings, but even more with IM. And people who talk with their real-life friends online also report feeling closer to them than those who just communicate face-to-face, implying a strengthening of their bond.
Why would digital communication do better than human contact? The reasons are complex, but may have something to do with the fact that users can control expression of sadness and other emotions via IM without exposing emotional elements like tears that some may consider as embarrassing or sources of discomfort. Studies also show that the anonymity (匿名) of writing on a device blankets the users in a sense of safety that may cause people to feel more comfortable in sharing and discussing their deepest and most authentic feelings. The research has shown that expressive writing itself can vent the stress and provide a sense of relief—and doing so, knowing that your words are reaching a sympathetic friend, may provide even more comfort and potentially be therapeutic(治愈的). Researchers also found that introverted participants reported more relief from IM conversations when they were distressed than extroverts did. Susan Cain, author of Quiet wrote recently for TIME: Introverts are often overfilled with thoughts and care deeply for their friends, family and colleagues. But even the most socially skilled introverts sometimes long for a free pass from socializing or talking on the phone. This is what the Internet offers: the chance to connect—but in measured doses and from behind a screen.
47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Teens are more likely to send instant messages when feeling distressed.
B. Instant messaging can help completely remove teens’ negative emotions.
C. Constant instant messaging can help teens control their negative emotions.
D. Chat via instant messaging services makes most participants feel good or calm.
48. The underlined word “vent” in paragraph 5 most probably means________.
A. control B. maintain C. reduce D. increase
49. According to the passage, what does the digital communication enable users to do?
A. Find more sympathetic friends. B. Produce more expressive writings.
C. Share and discuss more information. D. Avoid embarrassment and discomfort.

50. What can be concluded from the new study by British researchers?
A. Introverted teens may benefit from constant instant messaging.
B. American teens aged 14 to 18 are extensive instant messaging users.
C. Teens feeling bad often feel closer to real-life friends than to the net friends.
D. Instant messaging will prevent children’s social and intellectual development.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s, 60s or even 70s? Most people consider when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laidback, do something fun, or hang around.
51 It’s particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, the brain creates neural(神经) pathways that make us smarter. 52 The more we learn, the more new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 53 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest to learn, that desire will naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning, don’t be discouraged. 54 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, and choose to distance ourselves from others, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy, and life passion. Instead of being bored, dumb, why don’t we keep learning?
55 More importantly, learning explores our life horizon, helps us build up our confidence; gradually, it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and achievement in the process of learning journey.
A. It’s never too old to learn.
B. Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.
C. You should set a high learning target.
D. Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E. In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.
F. Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.
G. However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic, and self-fulfilled.

I am sorry to hear that you are deeply depressed recently due to failing in the employment interview of the school TV host. I can understand how you are feeling now. It is rather disappointing to fail in an important interview, which you were devoted to.
But one failure doesn’t mean that you are not excellent. Actually, you are always an intelligent boy. In your letter, I can’t make out what possibility made this failure.

Last Saturday, my classmates and I went to the Beijing Exhibition Hall to see the exhibition on China’s achievements in the last 5 years which turned out to be a memorable experience for us.
The exhibition attracted thousands of people all over the country, so we had to wait a long time to get in. Luckily, we met a docent who gave us a detailed introduction of the development during these years. We Listened attentively and were deeply impressed by the brilliant success of our country. When we stepped into the Hi-tech display section, our eyes were caught by the fashionable appearance of the high-speed train model “Fuxing”, which is popularly called one of the “New Four Great Inventions” of China. We were so amazed at the exhibits that we couldn’t help taking pictures all the time. Before leaving, with the words “Chinese Dream” as a setting, we had a group photo to record the great moment.
The visit to the Exhibition gives us greater faith in Chinese dream, to which our personal dreams are closely related.
