36. The passage is written for________.
A. teachers B. students C. parents D. visitors
Last fall, I signed up for a four-month program for teenagers in Mountain High School. I went there because hikes, art, and fields of corn sounded fun to me.
When I set out in August, I hugged my parents’ goodbye. “See you in December!” I said.
My parents nodded. They were worried — I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I had trouble reaching out. They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly.
My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.”
The first two weeks were difficult. I made half-hearted small talks at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than a five-mile race. I was out of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t go back.
One day during the third week, I spent two hours collecting corn with one of my classmates. My feelings matched the darkening sky. I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from again?” Half an hour passed, “How many brothers or sisters do you have?”
Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness.
A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends.
That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find a new normal. When I arrived, people tired me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them.
37. The writer’s parents worried about her because ________.
A. she disliked the program B. she was always a shy girl
C. she feared to leave home D. she was a very slow reader.

A. the benefits of living by oneself
B. the joy of leaving a comfort zone
C. the value of having a new hobby
D. the importance of making friends

From football to volleyball, “ball” is part of the sport’s name in many cases. However, if you watch an ice hockey game for the first time, you will probably notice that, unlike many sports, there’s no ball.
In ice hockey, it’s all about the puck: the little round black object that flies around the ice. As two teams skate rapidly on the ice, they fight with sticks to get the puck into the net. They skate so fast and shoot the puck with such force that it’s almost impossible to keep track of it.
Hockey pucks are flat and round. Made of black rubber, they are about 7.62 centimeters across and 2.54 centimeters thick. Each puck weighs about 170 grams. Have you ever seen a hockey puck up close? If so, you’ve probably noticed that there are raised patterns on the edge of the puck. A completely smooth puck would be hard to shoot. The raised patterns give the hockey stick something to hold onto when a player takes a shot.
The hockey puck first appeared in 1875, though it’s unclear who actually invented it. Experts believe the first hockey puck was likely just a rubber ball cut in half. This provided players with an object with a flat side that would slide（滑行）across the ice.
Today, hockey pucks are only made in four countries: Canada, Russia, China, and the Czech Republic. At large factories, workers mix rubber with a special material first. Next, they add carbon black to the mixture. Then, they pour the mixture into a mold（模具）and press it. After that, special logos can be added to each side through a step called silk screening. About 5,000 logoed pucks can be made in a week.
Hockey pucks are really cool. They are kept frozen so that they slide on the ice and don’t bounce（弹跳）around. Once the players tie their ice skates, they’re off running after the puck, which can reach speeds of up to 160 kilometers per hour or more!
40. The expression “keep track of” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. follow B. collect C. lead D. cross
41. What can we learn from the passage? ________
A. It takes four steps to produce a logoed puck.
B. The first hockey puck was a round rubber ball.
C. The pucks are kept frozen to bounce around the ice.
D. Raised patterns make it hard for players to take shots.
42. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? ________
A. Slide on the Ice with Pucks
B. Get to Know All about Pucks
C. Have Fun Playing Ice Hockey
D. Take a Close Look at Ice Hockey
Close your eyes. Try to bring back a memory of taking an exam in your worst subject with your strictest teacher. Probably you remember looking at the paper, feeling you didn’t know any of the answers. Your heart was beating fast...Not surprisingly, you think of that experience as all bad, a long-lasting discomfort.
But maybe it didn’t have to be that way. A paper in Nature reports that a one-time online mindset exercise（思维模式训练）improved the way young people thought about stressful events and their uncomfortable responses（反应）. The exercise is based on two mindsets: first, ability is not fixed but can be improved with effort and support; second, body responses to stress can be helpful. As students work through the exercise themselves, they read information about how the brain builds on experience and how the body uses stress——a fast-beating heart sends more blood to the brain to help you think. The exercise also suggests ways to succeed in stressful situations, and it asks students to write about what they might do differently next time.
Researchers invited thousands of high school and college students to take the exercise. The findings show that this exercise appears to be able to change our understanding of the world around us and our responses to it. Compared with those who didn’t take the exercise, students who took part thought about stress differently, turning it into a way of energizing the motivation（激活动力）to achieve a goal. What’s more, the exercise changed their body responses for the better, preparing the body to respond to events as a challenge rather than a threat（威胁）.
“Difficulty and struggle are your friends,” says Christopher Bryan, a social psychologist and one of the researchers. “Those experiences don’t feel good in the moment, but it’s the path anyone who became truly excellent at anything had to travel.”
The exercise could be put into further use. It could be specially made for athletes or office workers in the future. Once it has been fully tested, the exercise could be ready for use in high schools and colleges nationwide.
The researchers don’t just want young people to rethink about stress; they want adults to rethink about young people. “Our studies suggest that we might not teach young people that they are too weak to get over difficulties, but that we might, instead, provide them with resources and guidance so that young people can show their skills and creativity in dealing with big problems,” they write in the paper.
43. According to Paragraph 2, the mindset exercise may help you ________.
A. forget about your stressful moments
B. find ways to slow down your heartbeat
C. record what you have been through before
D. understand how the brain builds on experience
44. What can we learn about the exercise?
A. It is now helping teenagers nationwide.
B. It is especially helpful to office workers.
C. It aims to help teenagers get better grades.
D. It can change students’ responses to events.
45. The writer would probably agree that ________.
A. difficulties are part of growth for young people
B. motivation plays the key role in achieving a goal
C. teenagers are too weak to get through difficulties
D. adults should show their skills and creativity first
46. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To question the influence of stress.
B. To explain the importance of stress.
C. To introduce a way to look at stress.
D. To compare two mindsets about stress.
七、阅读表达
Two Words that Changed Many Lives
Often when we’re going through a hard time, we feel alone, and just having someone notice and understand is enough to make us feel loved and supported. Sherry was once upset and disappointed while working on a hard job. Then her boss gave her a card. The card with just two little words was what made her realize she wasn’t alone.
The two words?
You Matter.
Sherry said she almost cried when she read the message. “I’ve fought at times with my own self-worth, and when I received the card, it felt like a question I carried around with me had been answered—I matter.”
Sherry was so touched that she ordered 100 of her own cards to give away.
“I met a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When I asked her how she was doing, the woman said, ‘Not so good. My husband just lost his job. The truth is, I don’t know how I’m going to get through the holidays.’ My heart ached, I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Then I remembered something in my hag that might help her.’ It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time. I’d like to give you something.” And I handed her a “You Matter” card. When she read it, she began to cry.” You have no idea how much this means to me, “she said thankfully.”
“Without that card, I wouldn’t have gone up to that woman and said anything,” she says. Sherry thought the experience was so powerful that she decided to send sets of 30 “You Matter” cards free to anyone who signed up online as long as the person promised to give the cards away. She called the event the “You Matter Marathon(马拉松)” because the cards can pass on people’s kindness and care about each other.
The idea was more successful than she’d expected and the cards have changed many people’s lives. Julie, a participant(参与者), says, “Having the ‘You Mater’ cards ready to hand out has allowed me to really look at people. This is making me a much more connected human.”
47. Who gave Sherry a card when she was working on a hard job?
________________________________
48. How did Sherry help the old woman?
________________________________
49. Why did Sherry call the event the “You Matter Marathon”?
________________________________
50. What do you think of Sherry?Why?

Second, develop new, healthy habits. Eat slowly to avoid overeating. Also make sure that you eat only when you’re really hungry. You need to stick to the new habits and be patient with yourself.
Third, plan your food well. Make wise choices about what you eat according to the need of your body. You should stay away from junk food. Don’t be cheated by tricks like “No Added Sugar”, because it doesn’t mean the food is free of sugar. Now try to make a new diet for yourself.

51. 【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
How is it going? Today I’d like to tell you something about Chinese paper cutting.
My favorite traditional Chinese art form is paper cutting. Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. It sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes and good luck and a happy new year. I like paper cutting because it shows the things that are important in life, such as love, beauty and family.
Yours,
Li Hua
