Trying to find the perfect present is about as easy as trying to read someone’s mind. Few people will actually tell you what they want for a special occasion and most of the time your loved ones will insist that they don’t need or want anything! So, what to do? Here are some tips that could help.
Start Early
Starting your shopping early can have many advantages. For instance, it gives you enough time to come up with ideas for what you should buy your friends or family members. Moreover, the closer it gets to holidays, the higher the prices go up. So, save your money by being an early bird.
Make a List
Here, you can write down everything your friends or family members love. This can include food, hobbies, experiences, and more. Then try to determine how to use this information to find a gift that perfectly suits them. If you are lucky, you should be able to find good ideas in one of these lists.
Think outside the Box
Often, the reason why you get stuck(卡住) for gift ideas is that you only focus on the same kind of presents. If you are still coming up empty, it is time to get creative. You can find something your friends or family members can use every day. When in doubt, you can simply put smaller presents together to make up a larger, more meaningful gift.
Gift an Experience
In case you are still feeling a little stuck, go ahead and find something that the two of you can do together. It may be a class, or anything else where you can enjoy each other’s company(陪伴). In short, you will be able to give them the gift of friendship.
27. If you want to save money, you should___________.

B
I’m a 34-year-old man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant(顾问). But my life was not always so great. My learning disability made my school days very challenging from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools.
My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay(黏土). Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along.
I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.
Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used to avoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate(有读写能力的).
Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting.
32. What did the author think of his school days?

C. Challenging. D. Frightening.

C. Extra help in a special school.
D. The art of making things with clay.
34. What did the author learn from rock climbing?
A. Live and learn.
B. Practice makes perfect.
C. Everyone has his own strengths.
D. A good beginning makes a good ending.
35. How long did it take the author to become literate?
A. About five years. B. Two years.
C. 34 years. D. Unknown.
36. What kind of person is the author?
A. Determined. B. Interesting.
C. Talented. D. Hard.

You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams.
While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.
You are awake, but is your hippocampus(海马体) awake? When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory.
“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science.
While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep, and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them, instead of listening for incoming new experiences.
Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable? Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth? Our minds wander(游离) all the time, but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information. Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent(连贯的) seem to be better remembered—perhaps because they cause more awakening, and their organized story makes them easier to store.
If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall. Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile(脆弱的) dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.
37. What can we learn about dreams from the passage?
A. Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping.
B. Dreams come from your hippocampus.
C. Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember.
D. We need special trainings to recall our dreams.
38. You can remember your dreams when you wake up probably because___________.
A. you are forgetful and poor in remembering things
B. your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent
C. your hippocampus is active in receiving new information
D. your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory
39. What does the underlined word “fleeting” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Inactive. B. Short-lived.
C. Significant. D. Slight.
40. Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream?
A. Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information.
B. Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams.
C. Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening.
D. Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up.
41. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To tell the importance of dreams.
B. To explain our forgetfulness in dreams.
C. To present some methods to recall dreams.
D. To analyze how our brain deal with information.
第二节
阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写工整。
Why do you feel encouraged when your teacher gives you a smile? How do you know your mother is angry when she frowns(皱眉)? In both cases, the person is telling us something not with words, but with facial expressions.
Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, such as frowning, raising one’s eyebrows(眉毛)，and nose and lip(嘴唇) movements. They express people’s feelings.
Scientists at Oxford University have shown that humans have 80 muscles(肌肉) on their faces. These muscles can create more than 7, 000 facial expressions. However , there are six main kinds of facial expressions that are common in all cultures: happiness, sadness, surprise, fear, anger and disgust(厌恶).
Facial expressions are very important to communication. One study at UCLA, in the US, showed that in most conversations, over 93 percent of the communicating is done without speaking.
If people can read facial expressions, they may be better at knowing what other people are feeling, so they can understand them better. Someone who does not enjoy a certain type of food usually will make a face when he/she sees or tastes it. A frown means worry or anger. Raised eyebrows and open eyes show surprise.
However, there are some taboos(禁忌) for reading people’s facial expressions. For example, it is not a good idea to stare at someone for a long time while reading his or her facial expressions. They may think you are rude.
42. What are facial expressions?（不多于 15 个单词）
43. How many facial expressions can our face muscles create?（不多于 5 个单词）
44. Why are facial expressions important?（不多于 15 个单词）

【答案】1. excited 2. is loved 3. them
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了流行音乐在中国大受欢迎，并介绍流行音乐代表人物周杰伦和他的音乐。
【1题详解】
考查形容词。句意：流行音乐可以使人感到兴奋和舒适。根据空后“and comfortable”可知，空处需用形容词作表语，本句宾语是人people，所以空处需用ed形容词excited作表语,ing形容词常修饰物。故填excited。
【2题详解】
考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：如今，周杰伦受到了众多年龄层粉丝的喜爱。由时间状语nowadays可知，空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态，因为是被喜欢，所以空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态的被动语态：be done，主语是Jay Chou，单数概念，所以be动词需用is。故填is loved。
【3题详解】
考查代词。句意：《稻香》就是其中之一。介词of后需接人称代词宾格，they的宾格是them。故填them。
【答案】4. which/that
5. animals 6. to clean
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了每年有大量的废物垃圾投入海洋，湖泊和河流，这些垃圾危害了海洋生物，呼吁要清理海洋垃圾，保护自然。
【4题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：60%的垃圾在水中长期存在会对海洋生物造成很大的伤害，分析可知，“___1___ lasts for a long time in the water”为之前名词“60% of the rubbish”的定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which/that引导从句。故填which。
【5题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：例如，许多动物一直在水中遭受巨大的痛苦，只是因为海洋和河流中的垃圾，所以清理我们的混乱是很重要的，因为我们不仅享受大自然的礼物，也必须照顾它。根据空前限定词“many”可知，所填空应是可数名词复数。故填animals。
【6题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：例如，许多动物一直在水中遭受巨大的痛苦，只是因为海洋和河流中的垃圾，所以清理我们的混乱是很重要的，因为我们不仅享受大自然的礼物，也必须照顾它。“it’s+形容词+for sb.+ to do sth…”，固定句式，“对于某人来说，做某事是……”，it为形式主语，to do不定式为真正主语。故填to clean。
【答案】7. was 8. slowly 9. who/that 10. helped
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者在去新学校上学的路上帮助了一位骑车摔倒的女孩的故事。
【7题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：事实上，这是我在新学校的第一天。根据前一句谓语动词was 可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时，主语是第三人称单数it，所以此处be动词需用was。故填was。
【8题详解】
考查副词。句意：我走得很慢，心里担心很多事情。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词walk，slow的副词为slowly“缓慢地”。故填slowly。

【39题详解】
词句猜测题。分析可知，划线单词所在句“While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting”句中的“this”应是指代前文内容“So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory(所以，你可能会有这样一个窗口，你在短期记忆中醒来时梦到了一个梦，但由于海马体还没有完全清醒，你的大脑无法保持这段记忆。)”根据前文内容可知，前文内容解释了为什么有关于梦的记忆，但无法保持的原因，也就是梦的记忆很短暂的原因，即“why dream memories are so fleeting”，由此可推知，划线单词“fleeting”应是“短暂的”含义。故选B项。
