One day, a young man went to Dr.Conwell and told him he wanted a college education but couldn't afford it. Dr. Conwell decided, at that moment, what his aim in life was, besides being a man of the cloth. He decided to build a university for unfortunate, but deserving, students. He did have a challenge, however. He would need a few million dollars to build the university. For Dr.Conwell, and anyone with real purpose in life, nothing could stand in the way of his goal.
Several years before this incident, Dr.Conwell was attracted by a true story with its ageless moral. The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became excited about looking for diamonds. Diamonds were already discovered in abundance on the African continent and this farmer got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars' worth of diamonds that he sold his farm to head for the diamond line. He wandered all over the continent, constantly searching for diamonds, wealth, which he never found. Eventually he went completely broke and threw himself into a river and died.
Meanwhile, the new owner of his farm picked up an unusual-looking rock about the size of an egg and put it on his mantle （斗篷）as a sort of curiosity. A visitor stopped by. He told the new owner that the funny-looking rock was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found. The new owner shouted，"God, the whole farm is covered with them."
The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine, the richest the world has ever known. The original farmer was literally standing on "Acres of Diamonds" until he sold his farm.
Dr.Conwell learned from the story of the farmer and continued to teach its moral. Opportunity does not just come along；it is there all the time-we just have to see it. Dr.Conwell told the story over and over again on many occasions for raising money to start the college for poor students. In fact, he raised nearly six million dollars and the university he founded, Temple University in Philadelphia, has at least ten degree-granting colleges and six other schools.
24、What caused Dr. Conwell to build a university？
A.His wife's suggestion. B.A young man's requirement.
C.A millionaire's donation. D.His education experience.
25、Why did the farmer give up his farm？
A.He wanted to wander around the world.
B.He planned to build a university.
C.He threw himself into a river.
D.He meant to seek his fortune.
26、In which condition did the new owner find the Kimberly Diamond Mine？
A.He exchanged his rock for eggs. B.He sold his mantles to visitors.
C.He decorated his mantle by a rock. D.He sorted out the whole farm.
27、Which of the following best describes Dr.Conwell？
A.Adaptable. B.Considerate. C.Disciplined. D.Purposeful.
Self-regulation, i.e.，the ability to manage attention, emotions and impulses, as well as to pursue individual goals with perseverance, is not a skill that we usually associate with young children. However, studies show that people who demonstrated self-regulation as children go on to have on average higher income, better health and greater life satisfaction.
An international team used a randomized controlled study in elementary schools involving more than 500 first graders. The research team was able to show that even a short training unit led to a significant and sustainable improvement in self-regulation. The training did not just affect self-regulation abilities；the children had significantly improved reading ability and an improved focus on careless mistakes one year after the training, and were also considerably more likely to be admitted to a selective academic secondary school three years after the training.
The training units were based on the MCII （Mental Contrasting with Implementation Intentions）Strategy, which has already been the subject of excellent research studies in adults and older students. The teachers presented the abstract strategy in a playful manner using a picture book and the role model of a hurdle jumper. In the first step, the children imagined the positive effects of reaching a goal. They contrasted them with the obstacles that they might face on the way （Mental Contrasting）. The children then identified specific behaviors to face the obstacles and develop "when-then" plans（Implementation Intentions）.
"The special feature of the study is the long-term ripple effects that this short training unit can have. These effects benefit the child, and they are transferred in many ways to society as a whole over the course of the child's life，"says Daniel Schunk, a professor of public and behavioral economics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. "The fact that early investments in such fundamental skills not only benefit the child alone, but also society, should be given more attention to in education policy."
28、What can be learned from the first paragraph？
A.Children have no self-regulation ability.
B.Perseverance is the key to one's success.
C.Rich people are more likely to regulate themselves.
D.Children with self-control will enjoy their lives later on.
29、What may happen after children receive the training？
A.They focus more on grades. B.They do better academically.
C.They can write more efficiently. D.They make no careless mistakes.
30、Why a picture book is used in the training？
A.To attract more children to the training.
B.To help promote children's imagination.
C.To better teach children how to reach a goal.
D.To make it easier for children to understand.
31、What is Daniel Schunk's attitude to the study？
A.Optimistic. B.Suspicious. C.Cautious. D.Ambiguous.
Your child is unique, but what all children have in common is natural curiosity and an ability to learn they are born with. Our brains are active all the time, and a baby's brain is the busiest of all. Research has shown that babies begin to understand language about twice as fast as they actually speak it. By showing children other languages at an early age, you are giving them the opportunity to make use of their natural ability to hear and recognize between the sounds of other languages, and their ability to make sense of what they are hearing.
Communication is something that children do to help them achieve something else, and they are unaware of the large amount of learning taking place. They take everything in through their senses, making connections between what they hear, see, smell, taste and touch. As long as we provide the right conditions, their learning and development will take place in a natural way.
In your child's early years, the emotional environment is just as important as the physical environment. Children learn when they feel safe, happy, valued and listened to. This is central to any learning experience in a child's early years, including learning an additional language. Your child has a trial-and-error approach to its development, and making mistakes is a valuable part of the learning process. When children learn an additional language at an early age, they get the benefits of experimenting with that language as a natural part of their development. Their progress isn't prevented by a fear of getting it wrong, and very young children are simply working their way towards getting it right.
The long-term benefits of learning another language go beyond being able to communicate with others. Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening, observation, problem-solving and critical(批判性的) thinking skills. These are skills that are of life-long benefit, both personally and professionally. Encouraging in children a love of language at an early age prepares them well for school and for life.
32、What do we know about Children according to Paragraph 1?
A. Children are busy playing.
B. Children are born to speak.
C. Children are good at speaking native language.
D. Children have a better ability to learn other languages.
33、While learning a language, children __________.
A. speak to themselves B. need to have language classes
C. make use of their different senses D. notice how much they have learned
34、Children learn when they __________.
A. are in bad emotion B. do not make mistakes
C. learn from their mistakes D. are taught by their teachers
35、In fact learning another language helps children to _________.
A. take more tests
B. have a good time
C. encourage themselves
D. develop life-long skills
三、七选五
36、From the moment we wake up each day, we're faced with a continuous stream of choices.①_____ when there are too many options. This is called decision fatigue （疲劳）a state of mental overload that can impede（妨碍）our ability to make additional decisions..
When decision fatigue kicks in, you may feel like you just don't have the mental energy to deal with more decisions. ②_____.As a result, you avoid making certain choices entirely, go with the default option or make ones that aren't in line with your goals or values, experts say.
Here's how to minimize or manage this phenomenon：
③_____.Some easy ways to do this: When you go grocery shopping, use a master list that has the same staples, and buy the same brands each time.④_____.And if you're trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time to it every day.
Tune in to how you're feeling. Be watchful of signs of decision fatigue and act accordingly: if you've had a demanding day that was filled with lots of decisions, put off making another one if you can. If things that wouldn't normally upset you start bothering you, consider it a sign that you may not be in the best state of mind to make a major decision. "People may not realize that they're experiencing decision fatigue, " Baumeister, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia, says.⑤_____
A. It's something to watch out for
B. Make some choices automatically
C. They should turn to experts for advice

七、读后续写
54、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I have a 6-year-old boy, Sam. He is autistic(患自闭症的). Thus, dining out can be terrible. Though he loves to eat out, he dislikes the loud noise in a restaurant. He has a method to solve it: overpower(压倒) all noise with a much louder noise of his own.
This begins what I think of as fighting tables: neighboring parties raise their voice followed by Sam raising his until the loudest point of the noise is reached, making us quite unpopular with other dinners.
Faced with a possible long-time dining alone, I decided to teach my son table manners with his favourite chocolate cake at a new modern cake shop early one Tuesday night.
To my joy, we arrived at an empty cake shop. Everything went well until women entered. Neatly dressed in a simple way, they were two tables away from us. I felt a sense of bad luck coming.
The women began to chat, paying little attention to us. Sam happily took this as his start to talk loudly and overpower them. I asked Sam for a quiet voice, but unluckily Sam had left that voice at home. I looked at the neighboring table, knowing we wouldn’t go noticed much longer. I planned to ask Sam to eat quickly and leave. Sam, who usually has food unhurriedly, refused to accept the sudden idea of fast dining, and he kept talking endlessly.
“SHUSH!” I said, a little angry. Sam laughed loudly as his reply. “Be quiet!” I could see that the two women were now watching us.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;

17、答案：C
解析：W: What is life like for today's students? How do they treat money? As the university and college terms began, I interviewed a few students. Sarah is a second-year biology student. She says that money is a big problem. She can eat cheaply at university, but she spends quite a lot on transport. She also spends quite a lot on stylish clothes. Colin, who is studying engineering, says that he doesn't spend anything on clothes unless counting climbing shoes and special tools, some of which are very expensive. Not much of his money goes on transport because he likes to ride his bike around. Diana is a first-year designing student. She makes all her own clothes. This should save her money. But in fact, the materials are very expensive. She does not know how she would manage if she did not sell some of the dresses and hats she made to other students. She says that everything is expensive. That includes rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter. Jack is a science student. He doesn't spend much money on clothes but his rent is high and he spends quite a lot on books, so he is doing part-time jobs to afford all of these.

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中" Studies suggest that children learning an additional language tend to score better on standardized tests because learning languages develops listening, observation, problem-solving and critical(批判性的) thinking skills. These are skills that are of life-long benefit, both personally and professionally.  (研究表明，学习额外一门语言的孩子在标准化考试中更容易取得好成绩，因为学习语言可以培养他们的听力、观察、解决问题和批判性思维能力。这些技能对个人和职业都是终身受益的。)"可知，事实上，学习另一种语言可以帮助孩子发展终身技能。故选D。
36、答案：①-⑤ GEBFA
解析：①根据下文中的 This is called decision fatigue 可知，设空处应该是对决策疲劳的具体描述。G项（我们往往会感到不知所措、焦虑、压力大或身体不适等其他情况）符合语境。
②E项（这会导致决策障碍和自控力下降)符合语境，且E项中的This指代上文的情况,decisional disfunction 呼应下文中的avoid making certain choices...or values，故E项符合语境。
③该空位于句首，根据语境和上下文结构可知，此处是该段的主题句，再根据下文中的Some easy ways to do this...and buy the same brands each time.和And if you're trying to exercise regularly, devote a consistent amount of time to it every day.可知，这两句话是对B项进行的举例说明，都体现出了automatically，故B项符合语境。
④F项(如果你喜欢早餐喝燕麦粥，每天坚持下去)也是自发做决定的一个例子。故F 项符合语境。
⑤根据上文中的People may not realize that they're experiencing decision fatigue可知，人们可能意识不到自己正在经历决策疲劳，A项（这是需要密切注意的事情）承接上文，符合语境，且A项中的watch out for与上文的Be watchful of相照应。

52、答案：to；built；which/that；wonders；but；Having visited；was amazed；recording；remarkable；means
解析：①介词 from...to..."从……到……"，是固定用法。
②非谓语动词 此处为with复合结构。system of ring roads与 build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词。故填built。
③定语从句分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词为place，故填that/which。
④名词 wonder 在此表示"奇迹，奇观"，是可数名词，其前无限定词修饰，应用复数。故填wonders。
⑤连词前后分句间是转折关系，故填but/yet。
⑥非谓语动词 结合句意及句中的状语"several times over the last 10 years"可知，visit所表示的动作已经发生多次，且发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前。故填Having visited。
⑦时态和语态句意：在过去的10年里，我来过几次，我惊叹于新与旧的共存，以及一个城市如何能够在不断发展的同时保持如此丰富的遗产。此处陈述客观情况，应用一般现在时；I和amaze之间是被动关系，应用被动语态。故填am amazed。
⑧非谓语动词 此处考查"spend some time doing something"结构，故填recording。
⑨形容词空处在句中作定语，修饰名词development,应用形容词。故填remarkable"非凡的，卓越的"。
⑩时态和主谓一致文章的主时态为一般现在时，此处也应用一般现在时；句子的主语为"The ______ (remark) development of this city"，谓语动词应用第三人称单数。故填means。

54、答案：
Paragraph 1:
Finally, the older of the two women came over. Here came the bad luck, I thought. She completely surprised me when she said, “Honey, stop shushing your boy. Clearly, he has something important to say. He can talk as much as he wants. I want to hear everything he wishes to say.” Smiling, she added, “You have a lovely boy. Relax and enjoy your dinner—and don’t let him forget the chocolate cake.” Sam smiled because finally, someone wanted him to do what he did best: make noise and eat chocolate cake.
Paragraph 2:
It turned out to be a perfect night. I met a wonderful woman who was clearly god-sent. Sam found the chocolate cake to be heavenly, too. I will always remember that lovely lady. Her kindness meant the world to a stressed-out mom. Whenever she is, we’re sending her lots of thanks. Her kind words do not cost much. Yet they achieve much.
