Dad and I loved baseball. One midsummer dawn when I was nine, we drove to the local park with our baseballs and gloves.
“Morning air carries the ball like you’ve never seen.” Dad told me. He was right. Our fastballs went faster and landed more lightly. The park was all ours for two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. Dad politely approached and gave the baby his best smile. The mother stared at him and then rushed away. Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car.
A month earlier, Bell’s palsy (贝尔氏神经麻痹) had struck Dad, paralyzing the right side of his face and leaving him vague words. He could hardly drink from a cup without spilling onto his shirt. And his smile was gone.
In the car, I began suspecting that our sunrise park visit was his effort to avoid stares.
After that day, Dad spent more time indoors and buried himself in his writing. He no longer wanted to play catch.
Of the roughly 40,000 Americans suffering Bell’s palsy every year, most recover in several weeks. But after nine weeks of therapy, the doctor said she couldn’t help Dad. Dad responded with humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew a wide smile across his face.
By the time I entered fourth grade, Dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again. But his smile hadn’t returned. So I made a secret vow(誓言): I would abstain from smiles of any kind.
Nothing made this easy. Classmates would laugh about pop culture and poor jokes. Thus, it’s difficult for me to keep the promise. However, I couldn’t let Dad not smile alone.
My teacher found my problem and called my Dad. I never learned what they discussed. But when I got off the school bus that afternoon, I saw Dad waiting for me, holding our gloves and ball. For the first time in months, we went to the park for a catch. Dad couldn’t smile, but his face lit up, and so did I.
24. Why did Father choose to play baseballs one summer dawn?
A. They could perform better in the morning.
B. He tried to escape others’ attention to his face.
C. Morning air was more suitable for playing baseball.
D. The park was empty and they could enjoy themselves.

A. seek for B. recover from C. give up D. break into
26. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?
A. Selfless and lucky. B. Generous and determined.
C. Sensitive and stubborn. D. Responsible and humorous.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. My father’s lost smile B. My hidden secret
C. Playing baseball in the morning D. Recovering from a face illness
C
On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.
Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Maasai family he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印)of a lion from those of other animals.
Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Maasai, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lion that has left upon it his prints.
Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the"big five”; elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.
Wildlife protection efforts in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地)for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas, They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.
28．How did Kasaine track lions?
A. By working together with tourists.
B. By running after them all the time.
C. By going to school every day.
D. By studying their paw prints.
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Maasai people are born animal lovers.
B. Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.
C. Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.
D. Small animals are not included in their protection policy.
30．What does the underlined word "it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Kenya’s economic development.
B. People’s leaving their original homes.
C. Kenya’s second-largest income source.
D. Kenyan people’s traditional Maasai lifestyle.
31．What is the best title for the text?
A. Wildlife protection in Kenya B. Meeting a dangerous animal
C. Wilson Kasaine’s wise choice D. Learning to live with lions
D
Who could have imagined that a treadmill(跑步机)on wheels would one day become a thing? Lopifit is an unusual means of transportation that allows you to power an electric bicycle by walking on a treadmill.
Lopifit founder Bruin Bergmeester says it all started when he asked himself the question. "How can I use a treadmill outdoors?" He eventually came up with a design, to which he added an electric engine, and Lopifit was born. The treadmill bicycle is similar to a typical electric bicycle in that the motor only works when the rider puts power in as well. The Lopifit senses it when you walk on the treadmill and uses the motor to turn a drive chain at the back part of the treadmill, helping you reach a top speed of 17 miles per hour.
To use the Lopifit, simply turn on the battery and use your feet to slide the treadmill backwards and activate (激活) the motor. Then get on and enjoy the ride! If you need speed, just walk on the treadmill, and if you want to coast, all you have to do is stay still and admire the view. To stop, you have two hand brakes available.
The Lopifit first hit the streets in 2014 and, unsurprisingly, became an instant hit. That was actually quite challenging for the company, because it started get inquiries and calls for orders, but it was nowhere near ready for mass production. The unique treadmill bicycle became available this year, and Lopifit is struggling to keep up with demand, despite the high price tag of $ 2,115.
But despite having a very loyal fan-base of so-called Lopifitters, the creative
means of transportation also has naysayers who simply consider the invention stupid and unnecessary. They basically believe that if you’re going to walk, you might as well do it the old-fashioned way. But the Lopifit does have the unique advantage of helping you walk really fast without breaking a sweat, or walking at cycling speed, if you will.
32. With the help of Lopifit, you can ________.
A. cycle to work by walking B. offer power to any bicycle
C. create a treadmill on wheels D. answer some hard questions
33. From the second paragraph, we can learn ________.
A. how Lopifit was created B. where Lopifit can be used
C. who Lopifit is intended for D. which design is suitable for Lopifit
34. What can be learned from the fourth paragraph?
A. Lopifit was cheap and available in 2014.
B. Lopifit always broke down on the streets.
C. It was hard for the company to design Lopifit.
D. The supply of Lopifit failed to meet the demand.
35. How do the public react to Lopifit?
A. Positively. B. Variously. C. Angrily. D. Cautiously.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But this idea has been completely backward. 36 We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.
Do we really have no time? “ I don’t have time,” often means “It’s not a priority(优先事项).” Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch(延展)to accommodate what we choose to put into it. No one will leave the broken water heater aside. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; 37 Actually, it’s a matter of choice.
How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities
are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What three to five things did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into next year’s performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on in the next year. 38 .
39 Scientists find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call a “low opportunity cost” time. Most of us are not sitting there on Friday afternoon saying,” But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time Friday afternoon, and make ourselves a three-category priority list: career, relationships, self.
It’s about looking at the whole of one’s time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 40 . And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we’ve got.
A. it’s that I’m too busy for it.
B. it’s that I don’t want to do it.
C. When do we plan our priorities?
D. Make sure there’s time for the important things.
E. We don’t build the lives we want by saving time.
F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.
G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.

Our class came up with the idea to make better use of using materials. We had brought to our classroom worn-out clothes, piece of cardboard, and turned those into dolls, handbags, tissue boxes and small vases. That weekend, we went to a nearby neighborhood and gave it away to the people here. All were happy with which they received.

This experience will help you develop a deeper understanding of China and I do hope you can share your impression with the people around you.
Hope my advice can be of some help. If there is anything else I could do, please let me know.
Yours,
Li Hua
