一、阅读理解

A

When Shakespeare was twenty-one， he went to London， a very interesting place， to try his fortune.

There was the famous London Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral， and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.

Then， too， there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world. Knights， scholars and the highwayman （拦路强盗） or thieves， who had been infamous for their clever robberies， passed by each other.

Here， also， were noblemen dressed in gold， from Italy and Spain and France; slaves from Spanish American， sea captains and ministers， soldiers and servants—all held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London， and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.

Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare， quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own towns residents （居民）. Each one told its story to him so plainly that， as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods， so now he learned men and men’s interests that make up the great world.

And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays， he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world， combined with his own genius， that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.

1. What was London like in Shakespeare’s eyes when he first went there？

A. Dirty and small.      B. Strange and interesting.

C. Infamous and terrible.   D. Familiar and modern.

2. Which of the following best describes Shakespeare？

A. He was good at observing and learning from daily life.

B. He got inspiration to write from his hometown， London.

C. He became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.

D. He was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.

3. What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 5 refer to？

A. Crowd.   B. Resident.   C. Face.   D. Sight.

4. Where does the text probably comes from？

A. A poster.             B. A textbook.

C. An advertisement.    D. An announcement.

B

Let’s say you have a piece of wood， a nail， and a hammer. Suppose the wood is a person， the nail is a mean rumor （谣言） about that person. If you hammer in the nail， you’re obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail， there’s still a hole in the wood， and the damage has been done.

There are many reasons why that the nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are， quite simply， a form of bullying （欺侮）. When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip， its usual to hurt someone， break up a friendship， or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing; only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.

When you spread a rumor about someone， you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group， and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad， and make him or her an outsider.

We need to be able to trust our friends， and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend， and he turns around and tells it to someone else， you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.

Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a snowstorm is coming. Expecting a day off， you don’t do your homework. The next morning， the snowstorm turns out to be nothing more than a light rain， and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.

5. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1？

A. To explain how a rumor spreads.

B. To let readers know what a rumor is.

C. To point out the damaging effects of rumors.

D. To attract readers to read the following paragraphs.

6. To tell a rumor and a tease apart， you should know whether it is ___ .

A. done behind someone   B. a kind of bullying

C. painful or not    D. spread fast

7. If a rumor is spread about someone， others may ___ .

A. keeps away from him

B. point out his advantages

C. not feels he is an outsider

D. be hurt if getting close to him again

8. What can we infer from the last paragraph？

A. Rumors can destroy your interest in learning.

B. Believing rumors can lead to bad choices.

C. Rumors can destroy your fame.

D. It is hard to keep rumors secret.

C

The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats， like dangerous animals， have a more immediate effect on peoples survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result， you clearly know what makes you unhappy， but do you know what makes you happy？

Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth， fame， power and some material things， you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.

People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings， acceptance， mutual （双方的） respect and trust.

People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental health and happiness. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.

If we are so interested in an activity， we may lose track of time， and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano， surfing the Internet or playing a game and soon. People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.

People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.

People， who think positively by being grateful， mindful and optimistic， are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering， focusing on， and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.

9. Why does human brain remember negative things easily？

A. They help with brain development.

B. They encourage us to move forward.

C. They record the progress we have made.

D. They tend to affect human survival immediately.

10. According to the text， people are more likely to find real happiness in ___ .

A. being famous B. chasing power

C. making friends D. earning money

11. What is part of thinking positively according to the last paragraph？

A. Appreciating what we have.

B. Wishing that we could change the past.

C. Enjoying the memory of the past experience.

D. Feeling worried about decisions we have made.

12. What does the author try to tell us to do？

A. Think more about our future.

B. Focus on everything in our life.

C. Be positive in our life and work.

D. Be out of the state of flow in our life.

二、阅读七选五

Self-confidence or a lack of confidence can have a big effect on whether a person is able to overcome the challenges they are experiencing， such as fear and anxiety as well as other concerns. When children build their self-confidence， they become more comfortable with themselves.  1  

Create a pretend play.

Allow a child to create a puppet show （木偶表演） to express the difficulty he is having. For instance， if the child is afraid of the dark， have him come up with a puppet show about a puppet that is afraid of the dark.   2   If the child doesn’t seem to be coming up with a way to help the puppet overcome his fear， present some questions to see if he can come up with a way to help the puppet.

3   

Many children with low self-confidence display behaviors that suggest they do not believe they can do things on their own. To encourage independence， when a situation appears in which the child states he can’t do it or wants you to do it for him， encourage the child to do the activity.   4   

Raise self-awareness.

Helping children to become more aware of whom they are can help build self-confidence. Children with low self-confidence may not be very decisive.

One possible version：

Dear Jim，

I’m very glad to know that you are interested in Chinese painting and planning to take a short course in China this summer vacation.

There are many training courses on traditional Chinese painting， among which the summer camp held by the National Academy of Fine Arts is the best.

In this camp， you will learn basic skills of traditional Chinese painting in fifty days with lectures， observation and practice. The program charges a relatively modest fee—500 Yuan a week. The camp is held in the Academy， so it is very convenient and cheap to eat and live on campus.

Hoping to see you soon！

Yours，

Li Hua
