Three boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However,
their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).
Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a
piece of earth that was recently plowed (犁、耕).“I thought it was a log,” Caid said.“I tried to pick it
up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds.They
eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective
strength, might and a golf cart, to carry the large Mastodon bone.
“They didn’t expect to find that,” Michael’s mom said.“Now that they have, I believe that they
will be more aware of their surroundings and what they’re digging up when they are digging and
playing.”
“We’ve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics from the area and that’s
what I thought it was,” the brothers’ mother said.“This is our first set of teeth we’ve found.So we
thought it was their imagination.We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”
They were exploring near the brothers’ home.Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what they
thought resembled a fossil.It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi
Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature
individual.”
The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times . They had long tusks and
trunks, like elephants.They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as
woolly mammoths (猛犸).
4.How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?
A.With great efforts. B.By chance.
C.Instructed by an expert. D.Through imagination.
5At first the brothers’ mother thought the jawbone was .
A.from people who died in the Civil War B.the bone from a very mature individual
C.like a log or something D.the prehistoric bone
6.The discovery of the jawbone of a Mastodon is important mainly because it .
A.helps people to know more about the Civil War
B.teaches kids to be more aware of their surroundings
C.promotes the research on more prehistoric creatures
D.attracts the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science
7Which of the following can be the best title for the article?
A.Prehistoric Bones Recently Found in Mississippi
B.Not Petrified Wood Nor Civil War Relics
C.First Identifying Bone as a “Very Mature Individual”
D. U nexpectedly Discovering Mastodon Jawbone

been enough for most people, but now? The public need a trendy notebook computer and a
smart phone with WiFi connection to feel they are up-to-date. So when will we have enough things?
When will we finally be happy? Well, it looks like the things we buy today will barely keep us
satisfied for a few months.
In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates
many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is
better and more choice in the marketplace means more freedom. Therefore more choice leads to
more happiness. This is not the case, however.
Imagine you go to a café offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate
and eat it happily. But what if the café serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose chocolate and then
start to worry, “maybe blueberry would have been better, perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have
been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and I didn’t make the best one! ”
In China’s major cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making
us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, disappointed because our expectations are so
high and angered at ourselves when we don’ t make a perfect choice every time.
A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high-speed Internet access.
He thought this was amazing—the newest piece of technology he had heard of. Then the service
went down. The man next to him was angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How quickly the
world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago!”
8.What is the text mainly talking about?
A.Hi-tech and consumer needs. B.Computers and smart phones.
C.Wireless products and WiFi connection. D.Diverse choices and consumer satisfaction.
9.What may some psychologists think of the consumer demand in the café?
A.The consumer has mental problems. B.More choice means more freedom.
C.Variety leads to unhappiness. D.The shop provides too many choices.
10Why was the man next to the reporter quite annoyed?
A.The net connection was interrupted. B.Someone owed him money.
C.The air hostess offered poor service. D.The pleasure lasted only 10 seconds.
11What does the underlined word “swore” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Fell asleep. B.Said rude words. C.Made promises. D.Became amazed.

What will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night
by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.
“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that
research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, public colleges, and
land-grant schools in the timeline of America.
In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of
change ever, with several multi-trillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent
projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million, with a large percentage of those
residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully
uncontrollable” in many parts of the world.
The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels,
particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will
only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of
climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainable environment, and longer life spans
that most Americans share.
“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending
outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. … We are part of the problem.”
Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said,
are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities
to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that
would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.
Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State — which he calls the “new
American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school
“inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to take risks.”
Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences schools to
create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration
and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and
increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing
the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by
500 percent.
Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what
we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells us we have to be.” Research
universities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”
During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He
discussed, for example, the school’s distance-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of
undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, which helps the school to keep costs
down while advancing interactive learning technologies.
He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of
community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their later
degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where
“culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.
12.The fourth wave of change in America’s higher education refers to _______.
A.public colleges B.land-grant schools
C.initial higher education D.research universities
13.Which is NOT part of the American dream most people share?
A.People enjoy a quality life. B.People live longer and longer.
C.The freedom to move around. D.An environment that is sustainable.
14Which is an initiative adopted by Crow at Arizona State University?
A.Restructuring the teachers College. B.Launching the School of Life Sciences.
C.Ignoring the linkages between disciplines. D.Enrolling more students from poor families.
15With the distance-learning program, Arizona State University is able to ______.
A.enroll 40% of its students online
B.provide an even greater number of courses
C.attract the most gifted students all over the world
D.keep costs down without a loss of quality
二、七选五
.The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin the make-up that you wear, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny
nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and
tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film(薄膜)over the eye’s surface.
16_________
When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. " People
worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get them back. "
17_________After we cry, thefeelings that caused the tears often disappear.
Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling —
shock, anger, fear, or sadness, is being held back. But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist
Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry.
18_________Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe,
private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of easing tension, but
people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense. 19_________And they’ll do just
about anything to make you stop.
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are appropriate. It's not good to cry during a tense
business discussion. 20__________You should also act out the whole situation again and be as
angry as you like. It will help you feel better.
A. They may be holding back a need to cry, too.
B. They cry for different reasons.
C. She gives crying exercises.
D. It contains a chemicalragainst infection.
E. The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.
F. It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.
G. But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.
三、完形填空
6.I felt like a good mother on that summer morning. I’d 1 up early, made a picnic
lunch, 2 my three-and five-year-old daughters into the car, driven to my friend’s house, packed
her and her 3 into the car, and driven the hour and a half to the shore where we 4 our towels
on the sands by 10 a.m.
Soon the girls began running. About 50 yards from us, a man, maybe 5 his late 50s, was
fishing. The girls stood next to him and watched with their mouths open 6 he cast the lines. He
smiled at them. They all ran back to us except my three-year-old Drew, who, 7 , just seated
herself next to the white bucket where the man was 8 planning to put the fish he caught.
However, suddenly a 9 came to my mind. Is it dangerous for Drew to stay there with the
stranger? Good moms should also teach daughters that the world is dangerous. Then, I watched them
like there was a hidden 10 in the lifeguard chair filming the man as America’s Most Wanted.
Every few minutes, I looked to my five-year-old to make sure she hadn’t been 11 out to sea,
then back to Drew to make sure there was no 12 between her and the stranger.
When I looked at Drew again, she had started 13 with the man. She was probably telling
him where we lived and how her father was away on 14 . He nodded. She kept talking. He
nodded again, then they laughed.
A few seconds later, she ran back to us, with a toy fish in her hand. It must have been
something 15 he used for bait(饵). The three other girls were 16 , so they didn’t try
to 17 how eager they were to have one.
Just when I was at a loss, there he was: the man, standing right next to us. He was holding
three more toy fish. He handed them to each of the girls. By their 18 , I realized that he
was 19 a warm-hearted man, meaning no harm at all.
“Thank you”, I said, realizing that yes, there is evil in this world…but there is also good,
and 20 in strangers, and lessons for mothers to learn that only three-year-olds could teach them.

Oh, a pity! It’s raining again? Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I wish the
weather is better here for you. It’s very usual to have so and so much snow and rain here at this time
of year.
Some of you are asking about tomorrow’s activity on the way here. Well, we’re going to climb
the mountain unless the weather gets much better during the night. OK? So, provided that it doesn’t
snow too heavy tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock. Set your alarms for 5:30. We’ll take
our breakfast with them because we won’t reach the top of the mountain unless we set out early,
before it’s light. So be there tomorrow morning with everything you need. You’ve all got a list—you
need a whistle in case you get separated from the rest of the group, warm waterproof clothing and
gloves, and a good pair of boots. Don’t forget to bring maps I gave you yesterday. I’d rather you
didn’t bring large cameras and video cameras.
It’s time we had dinner now, so if that anyone has any questions, you can ask me on the way to
the dining hall. Let’s go.

stop"也和 A 项中的” hold back(控制,抑制)”照应,故选 A。
⑤ 空格后一句"You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you
like. ’’ 说明你可以随意发泄。根据该句中的 also 可以推断,空格处也应该介绍的是如何宣泄情
绪。意义上明显与空格前的,... tears are not appropriate"以及" It’s not good to cry... ”形成转折关
系,故选 G。

2.the;考查冠词.乐器名词前加定冠词 the.故填 the.
3. annoyed; 考查时态.此处是一个定语从句,先行句是"so I had little time to play with my friends",
且这句话的时态是一般过去时, 所以 annoy 也要用一般过去时.故填 annoyed.

they forced me to do"是原因.故填 because.
5. looking; 考查非谓语.此处 looking back 做时间状语,因为逻辑主语是 I,且和 look 之间是主动
关系.故填 looking.

为主语是 it,所以要用三单.故填 gives.
7.under;考查介词.under pressure 在压力之下.故填 under.
8. to understand; 考查不定式.come to understand 开始理解,开始明白.故填 to understand.
9.success; 考查名词. our road to success 通往成功的路上.故填 success.

答案:
Oh, a pity! It’s raining again? Is everybody here? Good. Now listen carefully. I wish the
weather better here for you. It’s very to have so and so much snow and rain here
at this time of year.
Some of you asking about tomorrow’s activity on the way here. Well, we’re going to
climb the mountain unless the weather gets much during the night. OK? So, provided that it
doesn’t snow too tonight, I’ll see you back here at six o’clock. Set your alarms for 5:30.
We’ll take our breakfast with because we won’t reach the top of the mountain unless we set
out early, before it’s light. So be tomorrow morning with everything you need. You’ve all
got a list—you need a whistle in case you get separated from the rest of the group, warm waterproof
and gloves, and a good pair of boots. Don’t forget to bring maps I gave you yesterday. I’d
rather you didn’t bring large cameras and video cameras.
It’s time we had dinner now, so if that anyone has any questions, you can ask me on the way to
the dining hall. Let’s go.
Dear Henry,
Hearing that you are eager to know the lively Chinese New Year celebration, I’m writing to
inform you of some relevant information.
A wide range of activities take place to observe New Year’s Day. On Dec 31st, Qiushui Square
would be crowded with youngsters, who would fly Kongming Lantern and count down to the first
day of 2019 for best wishes. As is often the case, fantastic New Year parties are held,and you can
also tune in to New Year gala on different channels. Meanwhile, the commercial department would
distribute commercial leaflets to promote their goods, appealing to customers’ shopping desire and
boosting sales during this period. Much to our delight, it is officially recognized that we have three
day’s leave during New Year’s Day, during which arrangements can be made and our mind be
relaxed.
I’m wondering about your New Year’s wish. If it suits your convenience, I warmly welcome
you to join me in the New Year’s celebration in 2019.
