Our Teen Summer Spanish Program is two weeks of fun, educational excitement that helps students learn Spanish fast. Our Spanish Summer program allows our students to learn from highly trained, certified teachers and be absorbed in the language and the culture of Costa Rica.

Features include:

*Intensive (强化的) daily Spanish classes

*Extracurricular classes in dance, cooking, music and handiwork

*Outdoor activities including hiking, camping, rafting, and ziplining (高空滑索)

*Homestay with a local Costa Rican family

*Volunteer work in needy neighborhoods

Our Teaching Methods:

We are proud to use TPRS — Total Physical Response Storytelling — in our curriculum. This innovative method uses strange and amusing stories to teach new vocabulary, increase fluency, and get students involved by giving them the opportunity to alter the details themselves. Because of the silliness, creativity, and repetition involved, TPRS allows students to learn easily and remember information effortlessly.

Memorizing vocabulary and listening to lectures on grammar are slow, inefficient ways to learn a new language. The best way to truly learn and commit new material to memory is through conversation. In our Spanish classes, students can expect to speak up to 80% of each class. By speaking in the new language freely and consistently, students can see progress faster because they are using the new grammar and vocabulary that they have learned at the same time. This helps the brain remember the new words and grammar structures for future use, making it much easier to progress.

36. Which of the statements about the program is true?

A. It offers weekly Spanish classes.

B. It focuses more on outdoor activities.

C. It gives teachers a chance to receive training.

D. It provides activities about the Spanish culture.

37. What’s not typical of the Teen Summer Spanish Program?

A. Students participate in voluntary work on campus.

B. Students stay with a local family.

C. There are Spanish classes provided every day.

D. Students attend classes in art and music.

38. What do you know about TPRS?

A. It aims to increase fluency without teaching vocabulary.

B. It applies amusing stories to teaching Spanish.

C. It involves no repetition in the process.

D. It guarantees the students’ writing fun stories.

39. What is the best way to learn a language according to author?

A. Memorizing a larger vocabulary.

B. Mastering grammar structures clearly.

C. Communicating more in the new language.

D. Writing stories to share with others.

40. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To employ certified Spanish teachers.

B. To attract teen foreigners to a program.

C. To promote a Spanish summer school.

D. To introduce language learning approaches.

B

I’d done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, I’d bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.

The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home’s dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family’s temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I’d ever seen, she yelled, “Ma, Ma, they really came!” I didn’t know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.

Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair — her grandmother, we’d soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times, I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.

By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change. Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room — so much. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before — Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother.

Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn’t until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she’d made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls — one much taller than the other — and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart: “Please don’t leave”. Now almost in tears, I couldn’t control myself anymore — I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither of us could let go.

I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too — a greater appreciation for all of the blessings of my life. I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never forget me either.

41. What did the author expect before taking this mission trip?

A. An exciting experience. B. A special memory.

C. A routine result. D. A surprising change.

42. From the appearance description of the little girl, we know ________.

A. she was an innocent and lovely child 

B. she hoped for a better education

C. she was strong and calm in the inner world 

D. she formed a bad living habit

C. desired to approach me D. resisted accepting me

44. How did the author feel after unfolding the piece of paper?

A. She worried about the little girl’s future.

B. She decided to keep helping the little girl.

C. She felt a greater affection for the little girl.

D. One occasionally benefits from the poverty.

C

Before the end of the year, employees at Ubiquitous Energy, a company in Redwood City, Calif, will gather in a window-lined conference room to stare toward the future. That’s because their new glass windows will offer more than an amazing view of the mountains and blue skies of the North California landscape. They will also function as solar panels (太阳能电池板), able to power the company’s lights, computers and air conditioners.

Several years in the making, Ubiquitous’ energy-producing glass is a great technological achievement whose power lies in the layers of organic polymers (聚合物) between sheets of glass. As light enters the window, the flow of electrons between the polymer layers creates an electric current, which is then collected by tiny wires in the glass.

“It’s sort of like a transparent (透明的) computer display run backwards,” says Veeral Hardev, director of business development at Ubiquitous Energy. “That is, instead of electricity being sent to different points in a display to light them up, light is producing electricity to be sent out of different points in the window.”

Right now the windows produce about a third as much electricity from a given amount of sunlight as the typical solar batteries used in roof panels (板), and these windows, about half as transparent as ordinary glass, don’t work as well as transparent ones. But those standards are already enough to make the windows a promising product, says Hardev, adding the company is likely to improve the transparency significantly. As for the lower output of electricity, he notes that windows can cover a much greater surface area than a roof, so numerous windows will produce a surprisingly larger amount of electricity than the production from a rooftop full of higher-efficiency solar panels. “You could do both.” says Hardev. “But you’ll get more from the windows. The biggest challenge, he adds, is to make the windows from less than two square feet currently to about 50 square feet.”

46. What makes the new glass windows special?

A. They can offer an amazing view.

B. They are controlled by computers.

C. They can power the conference room.

D. They can help stare toward the future.

47. What is Hardev trying to explain in paragraph 3?

A. Where the light comes from

B. The importance of different points

C. The similarity of computers and glass

D. How the energy-producing glass works

48. What can affect power production according to the passage?

A. The transparency of the glass. B. The quality of the rooftop.

C. The height of the solar panels. D. The thickness of the glass.

49. What is the biggest problem Ubiquitous Energy needs to solve?

A. To change the window structure B. To increase the size of the window

C. To protect the windows from lighting D. To fix windows reasonably in an office

50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. Windows: A New Challenge of Technology

B. Windows: No Longer Just for Letting in the Light

C. Power: A Pressing Problem in the Near Future

D. Power: Not Enough from Rooftop Solar Panels

D

Let’s take a moment to consider the words of one of America’s most remarkable philosophers, Henry David Thoreau.

Thoreau spent the years 1845-1847 living on the outskirts of society in a small cabin in the woods by the side of Waldon Pond. He called this period of his life an experiment of intentional living and wrote this famous paragraph：

I went to the woods because I wished to live intentionally, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach，and not，when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow（精华）of life.

There is great wisdom in Thoreau’s purpose here, and I think it’s very useful to ask ourselves this question：What would our lives be like if we sucked all the marrow out of life?

If Thoreau’s quote sounds familiar, it may be from watching the film Dead Poets Society, a movie with deep wisdom. The film is about young men at a boarding school as they prepare to do good in the world because they have the privilege to bring about change. Their English teacher, played by Robin Williams, tries to convince them that they should live life well now instead of believing that they will find happiness after they reach certain goals. Part of his argument is conveyed by quoting this famous passage from Thoreau.

Sucking the marrow out of life sounds simple enough, but as a matter of fact, it may be the most difficult thing that we can ever do. But it actually is as simple as it. Sounds—though “simple” is not quite the same thing as “easy”. I can think of one barrier that often keeps us from living our best lives. What keeps us from getting the most out of life is our desire for approval and fame. In the process of always  looking for fame and glory, there is the danger that we will stop living. In order to seek approval from others, we fail to find a sense of approval within our own spirit.

When we become aware that we are missing so much out of life, we can decide that we want to make changes. Our best move is to start small. If we are having a meal, whether a great festival feast or a modest supper, it is always within our power to take it slowly and really feel, taste, and enjoy the food before us. Few of us can easily do like Henry David Thoreau and get away from it all in the wilderness. But we can make small changes every single day.

51. What wisdom is conveyed in Thoreau’s words?

A. Stay away from city life. B. Live one’s life to the fullest.

C. Only nature can bring happiness. D. One can never be too old to learn.

52. Why did the author mention the film Dead Poets Society?

A. To recommend a good film. B. To praise the teacher’s wisdom.

C. To further illustrate Thoreau’s wisdom. D. To state the film was adapted from Thoreau’s works.

53. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s seeking for approval?

A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Sympathetic. D. Unconcerned.

54. How can people change life for the better according to the author?

A. Live in the wildness. B. Set higher goals.

C. Make small changes daily. D. Read more classics.

55. What could be the best title of the passage?

A. Ask for More: Thoreau Exposes the Meaning of Life

B. Sunk in Thought: Thoreau Outshines Ancient Philosophers

C. Aim High: Thoreau’s Practical Advice Ensures Successful Life

D. To Live Intentionally: Thoreau’s Philosophy Remains Valuable

第一节 (共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)

阅读下面短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。

Diana Nyad, born in 1949, is one of the world's greatest long-distance swimmers. She started as a speed swimmer, winning races in high school and dreaming of the Olympics. However, Nyad fell ill with heart disease before she could compete in the 1968 Olympic Games and had to spend three months in bed. By the time Nyad was better, she was unable to swim as fast as she had previously.

Nyad then turned from speed swimming to distance swimming. Her first race was 10 miles in the cold waters of Lake Ontario. Even though she came in tenth place, she was the first woman ever to complete the course. In 1974, Nyad set a record while swimming a 22-mile race in the Bay of Naples, Italy. That same year she tried to swim back and forth across Lake Ontario, a total of 64 miles. Nyad made it across the lake, but on the return trip, she lost consciousness and had to be pulled from the water. In 1975, she swam around Manhattan Island, a distance of 28 miles, in a record of 7 hours and 57 minutes. Three years later she swam 102 miles from the Bahamas to Florida.

In 2010, at the age of 61, Nyad announced she would swim from Cuba to Florida. In order to train, Nyad spent as many as 14 hours a day swimming in the ocean. The swim from Cuba to Florida would last at least 60 hours and cover 103 miles. Unfortunately, bad weather forced Nyad to wait until the next year. In 2011, Nyad attempted the swim but was blown off course after being in the water for 29 hours. Nyad attempted the swim again a few months later, but she had to stop because of too many jellyfish stings (海蜇蜇伤）.

Despite these setbacks, Nyad continues to preserve and plans to eventually make the Cuba-to-Florida swim. She has made a vow (誓言）to never stop swimming and wants other older Americans to understand that it is never too late to make one's dreams come true.

56. What made Nyad fail to participate in the 1968 Olympic Games? (No more than 5 words)

__________________________________________________________________________________________

57. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words)
