Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.
“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”
Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.
Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.
The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.
4．What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Teach. B．Express. C．Behave. D．Encourage.
5．Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?
A．To point out her mistakes. B．To advise her to quit the job.
C．To offer her some help. D．To comfort her struggles.
6．What was Mary’s feeling when creating her essay?
A．Confident. B．Determined. C．Inspired. D．Relaxed.
7．What can best describe Mary’s experience?
A．Actions speak louder than words. B．All things are easy that are done willingly.
C．Loses on one side and gains on the other. D．Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.

Every fall, like clockwork, Linda Krentz of Beaverton, Oregon, felt her brain go on strike. “I just couldn’t get going in the morning,” she says. “I’d get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring.” Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall and winter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking it’s still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work.
Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25 million more develop milder versions. But there’s never been definitive proof that treatment with very bright lights makes a difference. After all, it’s hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. That’s why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects.
Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapy works better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in the evening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control.
Why does light therapy work? No one really knows. “Our research suggests it has something to do with shifting the body’s internal clock,” says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some people depressed and not others is a mystery.
That hasn’t stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctor’s prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that can’t be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed.
In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. That’s an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.
8．What is the probable cause of Krentz’s problem?
A．An unexpected gain in body weight.
B．Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.
C．Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.
D．Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.
9．What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?
A．There is definitive proof of its effect.
B．It serves as a kind of placebo.
C．It is considered as a relatively effective therapy.
D．It hardly produces any effects.
10．What is psychologist Michael Terman’s major concern?
A．Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.
B．No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.
C．Inferior light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights.
D．Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients.
11．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience.
B．Light therapy increases the patient’s photosensitivity.
C．Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy.
D．Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.

One Alahama school was extremely creative in encouraging students to read more and to help improve the school district’s literacy. They added an Inchy’s Bookworm Vending Machine (售货机) an actual vending machine that allows students to add a special coin and get a brand new book.
Sixth-grade reading teacher Kristy White said students have been inspired to earn coins so they can get a new book. Every classroom has coins, and students can earn them by improving in their reading or math skills or exhibiting good behavior.
Kristy said it only takes one coin to use the machine. Nice! What’s even nicer is there are books for all grade levels and students even make suggestions for titles they’d like to see available. Funding for the vending machine came from community support through donations and grants.
Lucy Williamson was the first student to use the machine. The sixth-grader said she can see the growing excitement of her fellows and she looks forward to getting even more books. “This has some different books that the library doesn’t have and I’m able to keep the book longer because it’s mine so I have more time to read it,” Lucy said. She also shared that she rereads books often, so being able to choose a book that she can take home is a real plus.
Beyond reading, the vending machine has also encouraged students to behave better. And when a student gets a coin, everyone celebrates the win. “The students are thrilled when they are the student who gets the coin that week or one of the students, they come down here and the students cheer for them,” Kristy said.
We’re cheering for them, too! This is such a unique way to motivate students. Reading is so fundamental that it really serves as the foundation for all other learning. This vending machine is just one way to help students succeed.
12．What does the underlined word “literacy” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Communication skills. B．Academic performance.
C．Professional knowledge. D．Reading and writing ability.
13．What can we know about the vending machine?
A．It charges students for the special coins.
B．It encourages students’ positive growth.
C．It turns a blind eye to students’ proposals.
D．It aims to raise money for local community.
14．Why did Lucy commit herself to using the vending machine?
A．To enrich her extra-curricular life. B．To escape from the school library.
C．To enjoy selecting and rereading books. D．To gain respect and praise from her fellows.
15．Which is the suitable title for the text?
A．Kristy White:a Creative Reading Teacher
B．Lucy Williamson: a Model Pupil at School
C．A Unique Way to Inspire Students to Read
D．The Importance of Offering Reading Courses


二、七选五
Steps to Take to Become a Morning Person
Seek out as much natural light as possible.
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. 16
Ease in gradually.
17 You could force yourself to get up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks. But for some people — like those who need to drive long distances — those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.
18
A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule. Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, experts advise. 19
Plan something to look forward to.
20   “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a. m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”
A．Reschedule your bedtime.
B．Wind down in the evenings.
C．The sun is the driver of our internal clock.
D．There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising.
E．To tempt you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special.
F．Being exposed to artificial light in the late evening could interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
G．They also recommend rethinking the curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment.

Sometimes it 22 finances — sending a child to nursery or hiring a babysitter can be a huge 23 burden, while others may feel it’s better to be a 24 parent. These days, more and more men are choosing to stay at home to look after their kids. So why are more dads 25 to put their careers 26 ?
With more women working outside the home than 70 years ago, if the need is 27 for one parent to stay at home, it could simply come down to who 28 more — the biggest breadwinner. And with 29 changing towards a man’s role in the family, it seems to be 30 for them to enter full-time parenthood.
31 , though, many men still face shames by choosing to raise their child. A 2013 study in the US found that 51% of people thought children were 32 off if a mother is home and doesn’t have a job, while 8% say the same about a father. But what do parents have to do when they choose to stay with their kids?
In the early stages, a baby is totally 33 on a carer. The changing of nappies and making sure they 34 on time are just some of the vital activities an infant relies on. During this period, both parents take legal 35 from work. But as a child gets older, it can become less about 36 and more about choice. 37 choose a nursery, which can prove expensive, either parent may remain at home to play with and protect and 38 their child to help them develop and grow.
It’s a difficult job, with a 39 boss, but it can also be incredibly rewarding for those willing to do it. And with attitudes 40 towards who should stay at home, maybe more and more fathers will choose to become stay-at-home dads.

In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says.(你可以强迫自己每天在你想要的时间起床，知道在过渡期间你会感到疲劳，但在几周内就会自然地开始早睡。但对于一些人来说，比如那些需要长途驾驶的人，转换到新时间表后最初几天的疲惫是不安全的。在这种情况下，马丁建议逐渐进入早起鸟的生活。她说：“我建议人们换半小时，等几天，再换半小时，等几天，然后再换半小时。”)”可知，本段主要说明了开启早起的具体方法，故D选项“有两种方法来开启你的早起之旅”符合语境，故选D。

44．考查非谓语动词。句意：这个国家拥有悠久的熏香历史，可以追溯到秦朝以前。date back to追溯到，为不及物动词词组，无被动语态，与逻辑主语history构成主动关系，故用现在分词主动表被动。故填dating。
45．考查名词。句意：在明清时期，它更受欢迎，当时它被用来抵御疾病、昆虫、蚊子和保持人们的健康。wider为形容词，后接名词popularity作宾语。故填popularity。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍的是作者在上周六出去散心时在一个博物馆的所见及感受。
【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：上周六，我独自留在家里，为历史作业而苦苦挣扎。分析句子结构可知，该句中已经有一个谓语动词且无连词，所以struggle不能使用谓语动词形式，此处应为非谓语动词作状语，与句子主语之间的关系为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故将struggle改为struggling。
2.考查连词。句意：我在市中心闲逛，这时候发现了一个博物馆。分析句子结构可知，此处为“be doing …when…”结构，表示“一件事情正在发生，突然另外一件事情发生了”。故将while改为when。
3.考查名词。句意：走进去，我看到一些古老的捕鱼设备在展出。名词equipment为不可数名词，所以此处不能变复数。故将equipments改为equipment。
4.考查连词。句意：引起我注意的是一些我以前从未见过的旧磁带机。分析句子结构可知，此处应为连词引导的主语从句，连词在从句中作主语，that在主语从句中不充当任何成分，结合句意可知，此处指的是物，应使用what，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故将That改为What。
5.考查谓语动词。句意：引起我注意的是一些我以前从未见过的旧磁带机。根据主句中的谓语动词drew和were可知，该句应使用过去时态，before作为副词单独使用时，应用于完成时态，结合句意可知，此处see表示发生在主句谓语动词之前，所以使用过去完成时态。故将have改为had。
6.考查代词。句意：我被他们的神秘感所吸引，听了他们生动的介绍他们的历史。结合句意可知，此处指的是作者以前没见过的“some old tape machines”为第三人称名词复数，所以应使用表示第三人称复数概念的代词，且修饰名词history，所以应使用形容词性物主代词。故将its改为their。
7.考查序数词。句意：在三楼，有一幅独特的史前画。结合句意可知，此处指的是“第三层”，应为序数词。故将three改为third。
8.考查副词。句意：但遗憾的是，我不被允许拍照。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰整个句子，故将regretful改为regretfully。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意：但遗憾的是，我不被允许拍照。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配be allowed to do sth.意为“被允许做某事”。故在allowed后面加to。
10. 考查介词。句意：无论如何，博物馆不仅为我提供了灵感来源，而且为我提供了一个放松的地方。根据固定短语offer sb. sth.意为“给某人提供某物”，sb.与sth.之间没有任何介词。故删除me后面的with。
52．Making friends with good books
To arouse students’ interest in reading, our class held a reading session with the title of “Making friends with good books”.
The session, scheduled to begin at 4pm last Friday, lasted for one hour. When asked which books are suitable to read, some of the students referred to science fiction, because they think this kind of book takes them to a magical world. Some referred to books that would help them learn, such as Fun math. Some referred to the Four Great Classic Novels of Chinese Literature, which, they think, help boost their cultural confidence.
I believe that through this activity, the students can not only learn knowledge about books, but also enjoy the fun of communication.
