No-Bake(烤) Cookies

David was disappointed (失望的). He came home from school and he was excited to eat his dad’s famous chocolate cookies. David begged (恳求) his dad to make them for two weeks. Finally his dad had a day off, and he told David he would make the cookies.

Wouldn’t you know that day, of all days, the oven would not heat up!

David was craving (渴望) chocolate cookies. Angrily, he sat down on the sofa. David’s dad threw a cookbook to David. He told David to look and see if there was anything they could make without using the oven. David was not interested in the idea but he thumbed (翻阅) through the cookbook anyway.

What do you know! David found a chocolate cookies recipe (食谱). It didn’t need baking. The recipe was called“No Bake Cookies". David and his dad decided they could try the recipe.

David and his dad read the recipe together. Then his dad told David to get out a pan. David’s dad got out the ingredients (食材).

David’s dad told him to put 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup butter, 4 tablespoons cocoa, and 2 cups of sugar in the pan. David and he took turns stirring the mixture (混合物) on the stove (炉子) until the mixture boiled (煮沸) for one minute.

Communicating with Our Hands

We use our hands to communicate in many ways. The thumbs up sign shows agreement. A wave of the hand can be a gesture to mean hello. Many people make an O with their thumb and second finger to show that everything is OK.

While riding a bike, people use hand signals (信号) to communicate that they are sung to turn left, turn right, or stop. Policemen wave traffic on or hold their hands up to direct drivers to stop. In classrooms, children often put up their hands for permission (许可) to speak. At concerts and large events, people clap their hands to show appreciation (赞赏) for a performance.

Some people use sign language (a system of hand gestures, facial expressions and body language) as their primary form of communication. Deaf people communicate through a system of sign language. Like different verbal (口头的) languages are spoken around the world, different sign languages are used in different places. Each of these sign languages has been developed to facilitate (促进) communication and education of deaf people.

It has become common for parents to teach signs to little children. Babies can actually imitate (模仿) and use signs before they can speak clearly. This helps parents get to know what a child is in need of before the child is able to communicate his or her needs verbally(口头地).

Just as people study more spoken languages, an increasing number of people are choosing to study sign language in their free time. Each year, thousands of people learn sign language so they can more easily communicate with deaf people. Many companies are looking for workers with the ability to communicate through sign language. Many people learn sign language simply because they find it interesting and enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill. Sign language is growing in usage every day.

27. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us__________.

A. hand signals are taught in many places

B. there are few hand signals in our daily life

C. children use different kinds of hand signals

D. people often use their hands to communicate

28. Parents teach signs to their little children because__________.

A. their children want to learn them

B. it helps them get to know what their children need

C. it is a good way to communicate with deaf people

D. they need to develop their children’s communicating skills

29. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Companies should teach workers how to use sign languages.

B. Sign languages need to be improved in many places.

C. More and more people are interested in sign languages.

D. Sign languages are much more difficult for young children.

D

What is a creative person like? Some people say creative person wants to be know it all. He wants to know about all kinds of things, because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen soon or several years later.

I agree that people need knowledge to form new ideas. However, knowledge alone won’t make a person creative. Many people know lots of facts but nothing creative happens. Their knowledge just sits in her minds because they don’t think about what they know in any new ways. The real key to being creative lies in what you do with your knowledge.

Creative thinking requires you to search for ides and manipulate your knowledge and experience. You try different ways, first one, and then another. Often you don’t get anywhere. You try crazy and impractical (不切实际的) ideas as you are stepping stones to practical new ideas. By thinking about and making the best of what you know in different ways, you can make something new. The Nobel Prize winner Albert Szent-Gyorgyi said,“Discovery consists(由...组成) of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.”

Why don’t we “think something different” more often? There are two main reasons. The first is that we don’t need to be creative for most of what we do. For example, we don’t need to be creative when we’re riding bikes or doing some shopping. Another reason is that our own attitudes (态度) may stop us from being creative. Most of us have certain attitudes and they keep us thinking in the same ways. These attitudes are necessary for most of what we do, but they can get in the way when we’re trying to be creative.

There are times, however, when we need to be creative and come up with new ways to complete our goals. By changing attitudes and taking advantage of our knowledge, we can make the ordinary(普通的) extraordinary.

30. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A. Why knowledge makes people creative.  B. When people should be creative.

C. How people know creative ideas.   D. What make people creative.

31. The word "manipulate" in Paragraph 3 probably means“__________”.

A. accept something quickly    B. talk about something often

C. use something skillfully    D. remember something deeply

32. Why does the wrier use Albet Szent Gyorgyi’s words in Paragraph 3?

A. To explain why discoveries are very important for people.

B. To show the importance of thinking in different ways.

C. To suggest some possible ways of being creative.

D. To tell how famous scientists made their discoveries.

33. What is the writer’s opinion on being creative?

A. People with more knowledge want to be creative.

B. People should be creative for most of what they do.

C. Being creative needs people to change their attitudes.

D. There is some doubt about the reasons for being creative.

第二部分

本部分共6题,共20分。根据题目要求,完成相应任务。

四、阅读表达(每题2分,共10分)

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Would you love for children to listen in awe (惊叹)，generations from now, to words you write today? Would you like to have an ever-lasting influence on the world? A writer’s reach can be eternal (永恒的).

Most young children find pleasure and wisdom (智慧) in stories. When children listen to stories, they can let their imagination fly as they hear about faraway places and attractive characters.

When students are in primary school, they start to write stories of their own. A lucky few become writers. But how does a writer become the next J. K. Rowling?

Inspiration (灵感) for the creation of a lasting piece of writing can come in many forms. To bring this inspiration to life, the writer must sit down, focus his thoughts and write. It may take a day, a week or a period of years to finish the first draft (草稿). The writing of a novel (小说) usually takes may years. Once the writer finishes the first draft, he usually revises (修改) , asks his friends to read, and revises again. When you read a piece of writing it is likely that the writer spend nearly as much time in revision as in writing the first version (版本).

Once a novel or story finally makes it into print, the writer becomes a published (出版的) writer Have you ever thought of becoming a writer when you grow up? It needs perseverance (坚持不懈) and dedication (奉献) to one’s writing. Unlike other careers writing heavily depends on an ability: the ability to create words with words alone.

34. What do most young children find in stories?

35. When do students start to write stories of their own?

36. How long does the writing of a novel usually take?

37. Who does the writer usually ask to read his first draft?

38. What do you think of being a writer? Why do you think so?

Communicating with Our Hands

     We use our hands to communicate in many ways.The thumbs up sign shows agreement.A wave of the hand can be a gesture to mean hello.Many people make an O with their thumb and second finger to show that everything is OK.

     While riding a bike，people use hand signals （信号） to communicate that they are sung to turn left，turn right，or stop.Policemen wave traffic on or hold their hands up to direct drivers to stop.In classrooms，children often put up their hands for permission （许可） to speak.At concerts and large events，people clap their hands to show appreciation （赞赏） for a performance.

     Some people use sign language （a system of hand gestures，facial expressions and body language） as their primary form of communication.Deaf people communicate through a system of sign language.Like different verbal （口头的） languages are spoken around the world，different sign languages are used in different places.Each of these sign languages has been developed to facilitate （促进） communication and education of deaf people.

     It has become common for parents to teach signs to little children.Babies can actually imitate （模仿） and use signs before they can speak clearly.This helps parents get to know what a child is in need of before the child is able to communicate his or her needs verbally（口头地）.

     Just as people study more spoken languages，an increasing number of people are choosing to study sign language in their free time.Each year，thousands of people learn sign language so they can more easily communicate with deaf people.Many companies are looking for workers with the ability to communicate through sign language.Many people learn sign language simply because they find it interesting and enjoy the challenge of learning a new skill.Sign language is growing in usage every day.

【分析】本文主要讲了手势语言在很多方面的使用和受欢迎。

【解答】（1）D.段落大意题。根据第二段While riding a bike，people use hand signals （信号） to communicate that they are sung to turn left，turn right，or stop.当骑自行车的时候，人们用手势交流向左、右转或停止。可知本段主要讲了人们经常使用手势交流。故选D。

（2）B.细节理解题。根据第四段This helps parents get to know what a child is in need of before the child is able to communicate his or her needs verbally（口头地）.这有助于父母在孩子能够口头表达他或她的需求之前了解孩子需要什么，可知父母教孩子手势是为了了解孩子需要什么。故选B。

（3）C.推理判断题。根据最后一段Just as people study more spoken languages，an increasing number of people are choosing to study sign language in their free time.就像人们学习更多的口语一样，越来越多的人选择在空闲时间学习手语，据此推断越来越多的人对手语感兴趣。故选C。

17．What is a creative person like？Some people say creative person wants to be know it all.He wants to know about all kinds of things，because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea.It may happen soon or several years later.

     I agree that people need knowledge to form new ideas.However，knowledge alone won't make a person creative.Many people know lots of facts but nothing creative happens.Their knowledge just sits in her minds because they don't think about what they know in any new ways.The real key to being creative lies in what you do with your knowledge.

     Creative thinking requires you to search for ideas and manipulate your knowledge and experience.You try different ways，first one，and then another.Often you don't get anywhere.You try crazy and impractical （不切实际的） ideas as you are stepping stones to practical new ideas.By thinking about and making the best of what you know in different ways，you can make something new.The Nobel Prize winner Albert Szent﹣Gyorgyi said，"Discovery consists（由...组成） of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different."

     Why don't we "think something different" more often？There are two main reasons.The first is that we don't need to be creative for most of what we do.For example，we don't need to be creative when we're riding bikes or doing some shopping.Another reason is that our own attitudes （态度） may stop us from being creative.Most of us have certain attitudes and they keep us thinking in the same ways.These attitudes are necessary for most of what we do，but they can get in the way when we're trying to be creative.

     There are times，however，when we need to be creative and come up with new ways to complete our goals.By changing attitudes and taking advantage of our knowledge，we can make the ordinary（普通的） extraordinary.

（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？  　D　

A.Why knowledge makes people creative.

B.When people should be creative.

C.How people know creative ideas.

D.What make people creative.

（2）The word " manipulate" in Paragraph 3 probably means" 　C　".

A.accept something quickly

B.talk about something often

C.use something skillfully

D.remember something deeply

（3）Why does the writer use Albet Szent Gyorgyi's words in Paragraph 3？  　B　

A.To explain why discoveries are very important for people.

B.To show the importance of thinking in different ways.

C.To suggest some possible ways of being creative.

D.To tell how famous scientists made their discoveries.

（4）What is the writer's opinion on being creative？  　C　

A.People with more knowledge want to be creative.

B.People should be creative for most of what they do.

C.Being creative needs people to change their attitudes.

D.There is some doubt about the reasons for being creative.

【分析】本文主要讲了通过改变态度和利用我们的知识，我们可以让平凡变得不平凡。

【解答】（1）D.段落大意题。通读第二段，根据The real key to being creative lies in what you do with your knowledge.有创造力的真正关键在于你如何运用你的知识。可知，第二段主要讲了什么能使人具有创造力。故选D。

（2）C.词义猜测题。根据Creative thinking requires you to search for ides and  manipulate your knowledge and experience.创造性思维要求你寻找想法并﹣﹣﹣你的知识和经验。可知，创造性思维要求你寻找到想法后应该去运用你已有的知识和经验，故推测"manipulate"应该是"运用"的意思。故C项符合题意。故选C。

（3）B.推理判断题。根据The Nobel Prize winner Albert Szent﹣Gyorgyi said，"Discovery consists（由...组成） of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different."诺贝尔奖获得者Albert Szent Gyorgyi说，"发现是看到和别人一样的事物时，思考的却不同。"可知，作者通过这句话想展示以不同的方式思考的重要性。故选B。

（4）C.主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段There are times，however，when we need to be creative and come up with new ways to complete our goals.By changing attitudes and taking advantage of our knowledge，we can make the ordinary（普通的） extraordinary.然而，有时我们需要有创造力并想出新的方法来完成我们的目标。通过改变态度和利用我们的知识，我们可以让平凡变得不平凡。可知，作者认为，有创造力需要人们改变他们的态度。故选C。

     Most young children find pleasure and wisdom （智慧） in stories.When children listen to stories，they can let their imagination fly as they hear about faraway places and attractive characters.

     When students are in primary school，they start to write stories of their own.A lucky few become writers.But how does a writer become the next J.K.Rowling？

      Inspiration （灵感） for the creation of a lasting piece of writing can come in many forms.To bring this inspiration to life，the writer must sit down，focus his thoughts and write.It may take a day，a week or a period of years to finish the first draft （草稿）.The writing of a novel （小说） usually takes many years.Once the writer finishes the first draft，he usually revises （修改） ，asks his friends to read，and revises again.When you read a piece of writing it is likely that the writer spend nearly as much time in revision as in writing the first version （版本）.

     Once a novel or story finally makes it into print，the writer becomes a published （出版的） writer.Have you ever thought of becoming a writer when you grow up？It needs perseverance （坚持不懈） and dedication （奉献） to one's writing.Unlike other careers writing heavily depends on an ability：the ability to create words with words alone.
