There is a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in The World.
Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of
tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that is why it made November 16th
“International Day for Tolerance”.
But first, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Volta ire, “Tolerance is the
consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other ’s
fool — that is the first law of nature.”
Very often, people do not realize that they are intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to
do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by
males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men do not put
themselves in the shoes of women.
It is worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best
words to describe the evils of which we are speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone is
not necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there is something
wrong with them.
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this wea kness is something that
we all share. That is the reason we should be tolerant. It is a little like generosity. We can give things
to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.
4. What is the purpose of the UN “International Day for Tolerance”?
A. To celebrate the founding of the UN.3
B. To solve the problem of global warming.
C. To change people’s opinion towards globalization.
D. To arouse the awareness of tolerance among people.
5. Why do men behave intolerantly towards women?
A. Because men do not realize the purpose of the UN.
B. Because men are physically stronger than women.
C. Because men are not willing to understand women.
D. Because men do not appreciate the shoes of women.
6. Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”?
A. Because they cannot be used in a respectful way.
B. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.
C. Because they cannot be translated into other languages.
D. Because they do not express the exact meaning people refer to.
7. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?
A. Humans tend to find faults in others.
B. Humans need to give something to others.
C. Humans are advised to treat others better.
D. Humans change their attitudes towards others.
C
The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing
of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by
hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are
using more and more technology in the ir teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still
necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educationa l psychology at the University of Washington,
says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing
by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to
complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009,
found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete
sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing
skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes
some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning
and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.4
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind f irst and then to transcribe( 转
换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said.
Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says
Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct
them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we
have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth
grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given
by the computer.”
8. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones.
9. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
10. What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Window. B. Soul. C. Picture. D. Imagination.
11. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A. Computers can help people with their choice of words.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable bus iness, but, unfortunately, full-sun
production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how
coffee is grown from shade-grown production to f ull-sun production endangers the very existence
of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance.
On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun f ields affects the area’s birds
and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species( 物种) that
depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a
result, many species are quickly dying out.
On a more globa l level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also
threatens(威胁) human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests’ plant and anima l life,
and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain5
diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and
eventually the world’s groundwater.
Both locally and globa lly, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园)could
mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight
change in the world’s climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air
pollution and globa l warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to
acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.
It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life, from the local
environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase
shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet
and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.
12. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?
A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.
B. It leads to air pollution and global warming.
C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.
D. It improves local soil conditions.
13. The purpose of the text is to .
A. entertain B. advertise C. instruct D. persuade
14. Where does this text probably come from?
A. An agricultural magazine.
B. A medical journal.
C. An engineering textbook.
D. A tourist guide.
15. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
A. B. C. D.

Exam Anxie ty
Has this ever happened to you? You’ve been studying hard for your midterm, but when you
walk into your exam, your mind goes blank, your heart races fast, you get sweaty palms and find it
hard to breathe. 16
Everyone feels stressed during exams. Usually, it results from a fear of failure, lack of
adequate preparation time and bad experiences taking tests in the past. This is norma l and often
helps you work harder, think faster and generally improve your performance. 17 You
may also feel that other people are managing the exam better than you. This can cause you to feel
that your mind has “gone blank” on information you know you have revised.
18 Some choose to ignore the problem, while others don’t review because they
think they will do badly anyway and even miss exams due to the anxiety. It can also be really easy
to think that if you don’t try and then you fail, you won’t feel as bad as if you fail after trying
really hard.
So what can you do to fight against the negative mindset and stay calm before and during
your test? 19 Yes, this seems obvious, but it’s worth repeating. If you feel confident
that you’ve prepared thoroughly, you’ ll feel more confident walking into the test. The second tip
is simple: just start. The blank page can maximize your anxiety. 20 You can always go
back and change things later if needed, but a few quick answers can get the ball rolling. Besides,
allocating(分配) your time is equally important. Look through the whole test before getting started.
Mentally allocate how much time you’ ll spend on each section. If there’s time to recheck, even
better.
A. The first thing you should do is to be prepared.
B. People often deal with exam stress in many unhelpful ways.
C. If these classic signs of exam anxiety sound familiar, you’re not alone!
D. Therefore, people need an appropriate amount of pressure to help deal with exams.
E. Realizing time is almost up and that there’s still a lot of blank space will make you desperate.
F. However, if you are overly anxious about the result, you may be unable to focus on your
work.
G. After you get the paper, dive right in by getting some questions done to build up your
confidence.

写的词数应为 150 左右。
There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went
shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed pr ice. They wanted to
mainta in the ir level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they neede d,
they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an
old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even
able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for deliver ing the ir goods to the ir home. The old
porter quoted just $20, well be low the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the
porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he
needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid
him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their
home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but
you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have
disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to
the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter.
They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in10
his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief? This is our goods and he was
supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to se ll
them.”
