A
Lost Horizon
In Frank Capra’s Lost Horizon, the passengers of a plane attacked after the takeoff in China are thrown together against their will only to be deposited in Shangri-La. During the life there, they
realize that a family gathering should be about forming connections and taking time to consider one’s place in the family, in the community and even in the world.
The Human Comedy
Maybe as the finest film about the US “home front” during World War Two, The Human Comedy is a portrait of a family dealing with life after the oldest son is drafted into military service . Mickey Rooney plays the younger son missing his elder brother but trying to get on with his life in high school.
Miracle on 34th Street
The Christmas classic was released in 1947, but it essentially set the stage for the 1950s. It’s about the birth of the post-war consumer culture, and how affection for family and friends can be best expressed by the act of spending money.
Mary Poppins
Sometimes a family needs to make a change but the Banks family is definitely in a rut. George seems to care more about his banking job than his wife and children. He needs to learn that sometimes all you need is a laugh for a laugh’s sake, tuppence( 两便士) to feed the birds and the time to fly a kite. In the end, his change is as powerful as Ebenezer Scrooge’s.
Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope
Star Wars is about what happens after you make the choice to leave home for good. Of course, for Luke Skywalker, the choice to “take the first step into a larger world” is made for him when his family is killed. But his process of going out into the universe and discovering himself also involves gathering a new family.
21.Which of the following acted in one of the above films?
A. Frank Capra B. Mickey Rooney C. Luke Skywalker D. Ebenezer Scrooge
22. Which film attracts people loving Christmas most ?

C. present some film standards. D. interest foreign film lovers.
B
For many people, the “golden years” are a time to slow down and recall past achievements. Nola Ochs—a Guinness record holder as the world’s oldest college graduate at the age of 95—saw age as an opportunity to take on new challenges and satisfy unfulfilled goals.
Born in 1911 in Illinois, Nola always loved learning. She was a good student who graduated from high school in 1929 and began college via correspondence course（函授课程）from Fort Hays State University in Kansas. After getting the degree of the college, she taught in county schools for four years before marrying her husband, Vernon Ochs.
Soon, the realities of farming stopped any thoughts of furthering her education, though Nola lived a good, full life on the farm, raising four sons. She always yearned to learn more about the world she lived in, but not until after Vernon died in 1972 did Nola consider resuming her formal education.
“I just thought something off the farm would be fun,” Nola explained. “Really, I had no thought of ever graduating. For 10 years, I just took classes that were of interest to me, mostly history and composition. And then one of the professors came to me and told me if I would take college algebra, I would have enough credit hours to graduate. And I finally made it.”
For most people, graduating at the age of 95 with a 3.7 GPA might be enough of an accomplishment, but not for Nola. In May 2010, at the age of 98, Nola Ochs received her master’s degree, making her the oldest person to receive that distinction.
By the time Nola passed away in 2016, at the incredible age of 105, she had achieved her goal of writing a book about her life experiences. At one point in the process, when asked for her life advice, she said, “Buy the plane ticket!” She meant that people should take advantage of life’s opportunities and not wait until tomorrow.
24．What did Nola do before getting married?
A．A farmer. B．A writer. C．A teacher. D．A scientist.
25．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “resuming” in paragraph 3?
A．restarting B．changing C．beginning D．stopping
26．How many degrees did Nola get according to the text?
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
27．What can we learn from Nola?
A．Respecting old people is a virtue everyone should have.
B．Knowledge is important for everyone including old people.
C．People should get their college degrees as young as possible.
D．People should grasp every chance to pursue goals in life.
C
Literature is an important part of a total language arts program at all grade levels because of the many benefits it offers. Literature provides pleasure to listeners and readers. It is a relaxing escape from daily problems, and it fills leisure moments. Making time for recreational reading and using high-quality literature help to develop enthusiastic readers and improve achievement. Developing a love of literature as a recreational activity is possibly the most important outcome of a literature program.
Literature builds experience. Through reading, children expand their horizons through vicarious(引起共鸣的)experiences. They visit new places, gain new experiences, and meet new people. They learn about the past as well as the present and learn about a variety of cultures, including their own. They discover the common goals and similar emotions found in people of all times and places. Nory Ryan's Song by Patricia Reilly, Giff, a hard survival story, is set in Ireland during the potato hunger of 1845,and Patricia Polacco's The Butterfly, deals with Nazis, resistance, and Jewish persecution(迫害)during World War II.
Literature provides a language model for those who hear and read it. Good literature exposes children to correct sentence patterns, standard story structures, and varied word usage. Children for whom English is a second language can improve their English with the interesting context, and all children benefit from new vocabulary that is woven into the stories.
Literature develops thinking skills. Discussions of literature bring out reasoning related to sequence; cause and effect; character motivation; predictions; visualization of actions, characters, and settings; critical analysis of the story; and creative responses.
Literature helps children deal with their problems. By finding out about the problems of others through books, children receive insights into dealing with their own problems, a process called bibliotherapy. Children might identify with Gilly, living angrily in a foster home in Katherine Paterson's The Great Gilly Hopkins,or with Mary Alice, a city girl forced to live with her grandma in a“hick town"in Richard Peck's A Year Down Yonder.
28.What is likely to be the most significant consequence of a literature program?
A. The habit of reading for pleasure. B. The lessons learned from works.
C. The achievements of language skills. D. The ways of thinking developed by reading.
29.Why are Nory Ryan's Song and The Butterfly mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce two great masterpieces.
B. To expand children's horizons in literature.
C. To prove literature includes a variety of cultures.
D. To give examples of books that provide such experiences.
30. From the last paragraph we know that literature can be __________.
A. educational B. reliable C. changeable D. practical
31.What could be the best title of the text?
A. Power of Books B. Ways of Reading
C. Source of Human Progress D. Benefits of Literature
D
The Internet and all other amazing information technology make it extremely easy for you to find any piece of information you seek. Perhaps, it is too easy. There was a time, not so long ago, when you would have to make up for the shortage of your knowledge with imagination. Now, many of those shortages have disappeared. With Facebook, for example, you don’t have to imagine where your friends and family members might be and what they might be doing. You can know all the details instantly, with pictures, videos and precise GPS.
That’s all well and good, but what is it doing to your imagination? If you ever stop exercising your physical body, it will become weak and out of shape. In order to live your daily life, you don’t have to walk great distances to cut wood or carry heavy objects. There are machines that do all that work for you. Unless you intentionally make the effort to exercise your body, it’s probably not going to happen very much.
In the same way, there are now machines and systems to fill in all the information details you need to know. And if you don’t intentionally make the effort to regularly exercise your imagination, what will happen to it? Will it decline in the same way as a muscle that’s never used?
Actually, information technology gives you the opportunity to be even more imaginative if you choose to do so. But the thing is, you have to choose it. Don’t just sit there and passively absorb all the information that’s being fed to you. Disconnect from what’s mostly predictable anyway, and dive into your creative, imaginative essence(本质). You may be a little dull at first, but you are born to imagine and soon you’ll feel perfectly comfortable and natural exercising your imagination. Get your imagination in shape, and discover all the new and wonderful things it can bring into your life.
32.What’s the major function of paragraph 1?
A. To lead in the main topic of the passage. B. To say the Internet is challenging to us.
C. To prove the Internet catches our imagination. D. To remind us of the shortage of our knowledge.
33.How does the author support his idea?
A. By giving examples. B. By describing the processes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By analyzing statistical findings.
34.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Information. B. Imagination. C. Machine. D. Body.
35.What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Reduce our use of IT. B. Use the brain scientifically.
C. Exercise our imagination D. Exercise both mind and body.

Remarkable Ways to Push Yourself Harder
Deep inside us, we know that hard work is supposed to be the key to success. 36 Here are the rules that you can also apply to make yourself work really hard.
Practice working hard.
37 Therefore, if you want to be a hard worker, you must practice working hard. Practice waking up early, practice doing a lot of work, and practice working more hours. One day you will wake up and realize that you are a hard worker.
38
Many hard workers always have a large purpose that forces them to work. Don't just think of buying a car or a big house because this is not a purpose strong enough to push you forward. An example of a big purpose is deciding that you are working hard so that you bring change in the lives of your friends, family, and neighborhood. A strong purpose always involves bringing a large positive change in any particular setting.
Surround yourself with hard workers.
39 But if you surround yourself with hardworking people, you will find yourself working hard towards your goal. Avoid friends who just want to have fun all the time. This type of friends will always discourage you when you attempt to work hard. Therefore, always surround yourself with go-getters.
Read and watch inspirational materials.
You can also push yourself harder through reading and watching inspirational material. Motivational books and videos encourage you to work harder. These materials make you work hard. 40
A. Find a great goal to overcome your laziness.
B. Have a strong purpose .
C. Inspirational material makes you believe in yourself .
D. Like other skills, one has to practice it to perfect it
E. Nevertheless, occasions are not rare when we always find it difficult to push ourselves harder.
F. They remove discouragement and assure you that you will never fail if you push yourself to the limit.
G .If you surround yourself with lazy people, you will also be lazy.

The Sweetest Thing
When I was ten, I was crazy about candy. Whenever in our small-town 41 with my mom, I would run my fingers through my favorite candy on the shelf.
Once there, thinking about all things sweet, I noticed a man a few feet away pushing buttons on the ATM machine. Dressed in a suit, he seemed to be late for something, 42 waiting for his cash to appear. The machine made a noise, and he immediately 43 a pile of bills and headed out. Curiously,
I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the 44 .Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful, crisp$ 20 bill! 45 I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.
I held the money in my hand, staring at the number "20" and feeling 46 than I ever had. I thought about slipping the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn't feel 47 .I knew it didn't belong to me. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had happened. "We'll look for him." she said kindly. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car in the parking lot! We 48 him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine.
"Let me 49 ," he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. "Twenty, forty, eighty...Oh! You're right," he said with surprise, "I'm 50 a $20 bill."
"Here you go," I said, smiling with pride, as if I was a(n) 51 who had solved a mystery.
"Thank you so much," he said, bending down and shaking my hand. My heart 52 . Before saying goodbye, he asked my mom for my name and 53 . "I want to send your daughter a thank-you card," he said.
On my way home, my 54 was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now 55 of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.
A few weeks later, I got a box with a note. I ripped it open to find packages of candy.
"Dear Felice, Thank you very much for 56 my $20. You are a great girl, and, appreciate your 57 .I hope you enjoy this candy. Best Wishes, Tom." Tom included his business card. It turned out he was vice-president for the candy company. The candy tasted sweet, each 58 reminding me that what I had done mattered. Although my honesty wouldn't always be 59 with candy, it would make a difference to someone. And that was the 60 part of all.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Helping and supporting others may be the key to living a longer and healthier life. The findings 61__________(issue) in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior show that grandparents who care for their grandchildren enjoy longer lifespans. So 62 old people who care for others within their social networks.
The researchers, 63 (use) data from the Berlin Aging Study, analyzed the longevity (寿命)
and caregiving 64 (habit) of more than 500 old people between the ages of 70 and 103. The study compared grandparents who acted as 65 (occasion) caregivers with those who did not. Also, these grandparents 66 (compare) with old adults who did not have grandchildren but cared for people within their social networks.
Those grandparents who did not play the role of attending to grandchildren were 67 (much) likely to have died within just five years of the testing period. However, those old adults who provided support to their family lived for an extra seven years on average and those providing support to their social networks lived for 68 four years on average.
69 the new study only focused on old adults, it’s safe to assume that the health benefits of helping and taking care of others also reach those of all ages. However, it’s important to note that too much caregiving often has just 70 opposite effect.

To make better use of the books, we will take good care of them and leave them to other students as soon as we graduate. I believe these books will definitely benefit more students in our school.
Thank you very much again for your generosity.
Yours,
