School is important for children and parents everywhere, and there are a lot who take the education of youth very seriously. Parents want their children to succeed, and a lot of children want to do well in school. A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.
Field trips have always been seen as fun for students, and they look forward to their chances to get out of the classroom and go somewhere fun. But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included. Some have argued about the worth of field trips, and whether they are worth a student missing a whole day out of school.
However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.
The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.
Although there has been a remarkable decrease in the number of field trips due to various reasons, this new study is showing the true value of field trips, especially when they are considered “cultural”.
24．Why is it hard for teachers to plan field trips?
A．Teachers are concerned about the price
B．Teachers don’t believe in the worth of field trips.
C．Students have to miss a whole day out of school.
D．Teachers have to ensure students’ meaningful experiences.
25．What is Heidi Erickson’s attitude to cultural field trips?
A．Skeptical. B．Favorable. C．Concerned. D．Tolerant.
26．How did the researchers draw the conclusion?
A．By asking students questions. B．By taking field trips themselves.
C．By doing surveys among teachers.
D．By comparing different groups of students.
27．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Cultural field trips improve students’ grades.
B．Students perform better in an appropriate space.
C．Why cultural field trips are popular with students.
D．Why the number of students’ field trips is dropping.
C
Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”. You may have entered one out of curiosity, or you may think it is just another piece of useless technology. Whatever your opinion, VR, or virtual(虚拟的) reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon.
2016 saw the introduction of many fancy products in the world of VR, including Microsoft’s Holo Lens and Samsung’s Gear VR. All of them offer an exciting look at the new realities and opportunities that VR brings.
These, however, are the early days of a technology that is expected to go from strength to strength. And 2018 looks like it is going to be the year in which VR technology really takes off.
For a start, using VR will become more normal in 2018. Microsoft and Intel have already discussed their plans for simpler and less expensive VR headsets.
The idea of VR will stop being a sci-fi (science-fiction) idea, and instead it will turn into an industry of real products used as ways to show off imagination.” said Andrew, a designer at US VR Company, Survios.
It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film. For example, to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along in the flesh. Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.
You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later. “This is an especially good opportunity for brands looking to offer very personalized experiences.” said Roy DeYoung from US-based marketing agency, PMX.
As time goes on, there will be less discussions about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when.
28．Why do many shopping malls have areas for VR experiences?
A．To meet the demands of shoppers. B．To collect shoppers’ opinions.
C．To introduce the new technology to shoppers.
D．To entertain shoppers with new technology.
29．The underlined phrase “in the flesh” can be replaced by ________.
A．in time B．in line C．in person D．in order
30．What can we learn about VR products from the passage?
A．They are cheap for the time being.
B．They will meet more personal demands.
C．They are being used almost everywhere.
D．They won’t be accepted for many years.
31．What may be the best title for the passage?
A．VR Takes over Fashion B．VR Mirror are around the corner
C．VR is Becoming Real D．VR Meets our Life Goal
D
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
32．Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．Try challenging things. B．Take a degree.
C．Bring back lost memories. D．Stick to a promise.
33．What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A．Lovely penguins. B．Beautiful scenery.
C．A discount fare. D．A friend’s invitation.
34．What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A．It could be a home for her. B．It should be easily accessible.
C．It should be well preserved. D．It needs to be fully introduced.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A．A childhood dream. B．An unforgettable experience.
C．Sailing around the world. D．Meeting animals in Antarctica.

The house was flooded by the fresh aroma (香味) as Jack’s mom took the cookies out of the oven (烤箱). Jack stood by the kitchen table watching as his mouth watered for the fresh cookies. ‘‘You’ll get some cookies after dinner, Jack. You just have to wait till then,” Mom said before cleaning up the kitchen and leaving the room for the hotel where she worked as a clerk in the front desk.
It had been quite some time before Mom made cookies two months ago. She was always busy working, with little time to accompany her kids. Jack knew that the right thing to do would be listen to his mom, but he felt very attracted by the cookies. So when Mom left the kitchen and walked out of the door, he removed the cover from the cookie box and thought, “Mom won’t know if I just take one.” Then he took a deep breath, picked up a cookie and snacked on it, enjoying every last bit.
“Maybe if I take just one more, Mom won’t find out,” he said to himself as he took another one. “Does it matter if I eat one more? OK, just one more. Just one more,” he repeated to himself and took yet another cookie from the box. Then he simply could not stop eating, and kept taking cookies one after another from the box till only one cookie was left. As he realized what he had done, he gasped in panic. “What shall I tell my mom?” Jack stayed in his room, thinking about how to escape this situation.
Soon it was dark. Mom returned home to have dinner with him and his sister Mabel, who just came back from their neighbour’s home. As everyone finished their food, Mom went to fetch the cookies, but to her surprise, there was only one cookie left in the box! “Oh, my God! Where are the cookies?” she asked.

【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种户外体验活动，在活动中你可以欣赏美景，呼吸新鲜的空气。
21．细节理解题。由题干中的关键词“Mountain-biking”可定位到第二个体验活动中，由此部分最后一段的信息“Bike hire from around £15 a day.” 可知，租一天自行车大约 15 英镑起，因此两天需要的花费有可能是 30 英镑。故选C项。

24．D 25．B 26．D 27．A

【导语】本文是说明文。研究发现，如果学生经常去博物馆、艺术馆等文化场所，那么他们的学习成绩可能会得到提高。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But field trips can be difficult for teachers to plan, because they need to make sure that there is learning and value included.(但是实地考察对教师来说很难计划，因为他们需要确保其中包含了学习和价值)”可知，老师需要确保文化旅游活动对学生来说是有收获的，故策划是有难度的。故选D。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space.(然而，该研究的研究人员之一Heidi Erickson表示，只要学生在适当的空间学习，让他们离开教室并没有什么坏处，即使是一年中有好几天)”可知，Heidi Erickson对文化旅游活动持肯定态度。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, Heidi Erickson, one of the researchers in the study, stated that there is no harm in taking students out of the classroom, even for multiple days throughout the year, as long as they are learning and in an appropriate space. The study had 4th- and 5th- grade students from 15 schools take part in this study. They went on three cultural field trips during the school year, to an art museum, a live theater performance, and a classical concert. Then the researchers looked at their school year compared to students who did not take part and this is where they saw the difference.(然而，该研究的研究人员之一Heidi Erickson表示，只要学生在适当的空间学习，让他们离开教室并没有什么坏处，即使是一年中有好几天。这项研究有来自15所学校的四年级和五年级的学生参加。他们在学年里进行了三次文化实地考察，参观了艺术博物馆、现场戏剧表演和古典音乐会。然后研究人员将他们的学年与没有参加的学生进行了比较，这就是他们发现差异的地方)”和第四段“The study found that students who went on multiple field trips a year had higher test scores, performed better in class and had a greater cultural responsibility over time when compared to students who did not go on as many field trips.(研究发现，与参加较少实地考察的学生相比，一年进行多次实地考察的学生考试成绩更高，在课堂上表现更好，随着时间的推移，他们有更大的文化责任感)”可知，研究者通过对比经常参与文化旅游活动和不参加文化旅游活动的学生得出了结论。故选D。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A new study, which was done by Brigham Young University, has found that students perform better in school if they go on more cultural field trips.(杨百翰大学的一项新研究发现，如果学生参加更多的文化实地考察，他们在学校的表现会更好)”综合全文可知，本文主要讲述的是文化旅游活动对提高学生的学习成绩有帮助。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是VR技术的发展和应用以及其发展的前景。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many Shopping malls now have special areas that offer shoppers their first chance to experience “VR technology”.(现在许多购物中心都有专门的区域，为购物者提供第一次体验“VR技术”的机会。)”可知，商场的VR体验区就是给消费者提供体验VR技术的机会，也就是将这种技术介绍给消费者，让消费者对此加以了解。故选C项。
29．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的下文“Instead people will be able to enjoy the experience by just wearing a VR headset at home.(相反，人们只需在家中佩戴VR耳机即可享受这种体验。)”可知，人们都可以在家戴上VR耳机就可以享受这种体验了，其中的instead表明，在家戴上VR耳机就可以体验时装秀上坐在前排的氛围“代替”上文的做法，由此可推断，上文“to enjoy the atmosphere and energy of the front row experience at a fashion show, fans will no longer have to go along…(为了在时装秀上享受前排体验的氛围和活力，粉丝们将不再需要去……)”是“亲自”去现场坐在前排体验这种氛围，所以该短语的意思是“亲自”。故选C项。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“It is also expected that VR products will play a part in more common and real-life fields like fashion and film.( VR产品也有望在时尚、电影等更常见、更现实的领域发挥作用。)”和倒数第二段中的“You can also expect VR mirrors and fitting-rooms sooner rather than later.( 你也可以期待VR镜子和试衣间尽早而不是晚些出现。)”可知，人们对VR产品应用有很多的期待，希望VR产品能在更普通和真实的领域起到作用，能尽早出现VR镜和试衣间等个性化体验，由此可以推断，VR产品能满足更多的个性化需求。故选B项。
31．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Whatever your opinion, VR, or virtual(虚拟的) reality, is going to become a big part of our lives very soon.( 不管你怎么想，VR或虚拟现实将很快成为我们生活的重要组成部分。)”可知，VR很快会成为我们生活中的一部分，根据尾段中的“As time goes on, there will be less discussions about whether people will accept VR technology. It will simply be a discussion of when.(随着时间的推移，关于人们是否会接受VR技术的讨论将会越来越少。这只是讨论什么时候能用上的问题。)”可知，人们将来不是讨论是不是接受VR，而是讨论什么时候能用上VR，结合全文对VR技术的发展和应用的介绍以及人们对VR产品的期待可知，本文的题目为“VR正在成为现实”符合文章主题。故选C项。
32．A 33．C 34．C 35．B

32．词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.(在奇切斯特大学获得相关艺术学位后，Ginni开始周游世界，最终在日本和智利找到了教英语的工作。)”可知，此处是指做有挑战性的事情，所以take the plunge意为“尝试有挑战性的事情”。故选A。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。

(这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni Bazlinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Bazlinton的南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历) 能够概括文章主旨。故选B。

36．根据上文“Being a good student means being a good listener. Whether you’re a young student or entering college, it’s important to learn to pay attention in class and take good notes that will help you succeed. (做一个好学生意味着做一个好的倾听者。无论你是一名年轻学生还是刚进入大学，学会在课堂上专心听讲和做好笔记都是很重要的，这将有助于你取得成功)”可知，本句点明要学会高效听课，保持专注，为成功做准备，同时引出下文介绍高效听课的具体技巧，故F选项“学会倾听，保持专注，为自己的成功做好准备”符合语境，故选F。

39．根据本段内容“Concentrate on understanding the broad concepts, and don’t try to catch every single word. Listen for key words and concepts that your teacher mentions, and pay attention to what’s written on the board.

(集中精力理解总体概念，不要试图抓住每一个单词。听老师提到的关键词和概念，并注意黑板上写的内容。老师花时间写在黑板上的任何东西都是非常重要的。此外，任何重复多次的内容都非常重要)”可知，本段主要介绍上课时要学会听重点，不要试图去理解每一个单词，故A选项“倾听重要的观点”符合语境，故选A。
40．根据后文“It’s not necessary to have a total record of everything your teacher says. (没有必要把老师说的每句话都记录下来)”可知，后文提到没有必要把老师说的每句话都记录下来，说明只写关键词。故C选项“只写下关键词”符合语境，故选C。

第一节 Possible Version
Dear Ms Johnson,
I’m Li Hua, a senior three student from our school. Having read The Literary Review magazine’s advertisement for editor assistant, I can’t wait to submit my application for the post.
Born in an educated family, my parents introduced me to literature at a very young age. I read lots of the world famous and the Chinese classics, which help me broaden my horizons as well as develop my knowledge of literature. Besides, as an outgoing and warm-hearted girl, I do quite well in collaborating with others and working in groups. Furthermore, I won a prize for creative writing in a city-level competition last year.
I do hope this wonderful opportunity would be offered to me. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第二节．Possible Version
Hearing Mom’s words, Jack was nervous with his face pale. “It must have been Mabel. I saw her around the kitchen,” Jack lied, blaming his little sister. Hearing this, Mabel was shocked, with her mouth open and eyes widening. She denied, but Mom didn’t scold them and sent them to bed instead. The rest of the night Jack felt regretful for what he had done, tossing and turning in bed, and finally he decided to tell Mom the truth and say sorry to Mabel.
So Jack gathered the courage to go to Mom’s bedroom. “Sorry, Mom. I ate the cookies, not Mabel,” he hung his head in shame. Mom hugged him, saying in a gentle voice, “I had known all along, but I wanted you to have the courage to tell the truth.” Jack then realized that he shouldn’t give in to greed or blame his mistake on others. “I’m proud that you came to me with the truth,” appreciated Mom. Only then did Jack learn that being honest and responsible wasn’t that hard after all.
