My family and I never talked about school as the ticket to a future. I was in the classrooms, but I wasn’t there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide. I was 13 years old, but I already hated being who I was.
I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, who knew I couldn’t read. In one of my first lessons the teacher said that anyone who had a reading age below six had to stand up. I felt so embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed to change the situation. I was determined it wouldn’t happen again. Later that day, Mr. Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read. From then on, I never gave up practicing reading.
Now I was 41 years old. One day, I planned to fly back to Texas to visit my friends and family. On my way from the airport, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink. I rushed over and reached into my pocket to pay for him. “Do I know you?” he asked. “Yes, sir, you do know me,” I answered excitedly. “My name is Anthony Hamilton. You taught me English.” The look on his face told me that he remembered the boy he’d once encouraged.
“I’m so glad I had a chance to see you,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news to share.” I told him I had learned to read. But that wasn’t all. I had become a published author and an active speaker. “The next time you get another Anthony Hamilton in your classroom, please encourage him to read as well,” I added.
The experts say what once worried me has a name: dyslexia (诵读困难症). But I can tell you it was a lack of desire for education.
24. Why did the author want to hide?
A. Because he felt sorry for himself. B. Because he hated being laughed at.
C. Because he couldn’t read at all. D. Because he didn’t have a ticket.
25. Which of the following could best describe Mr. Creech?
A. Considerate and dutiful. B. Demanding and enthusiastic.
C. Emotional and dedicated. D. Friendly and ambitious.
26. Why couldn’t the author read before meeting Mr.Creech?
A. Because his reading age was not long enough.
B. Because his parents didn’t teach him how to read.
C. Because he was afraid of reading before the class.
D. Because he didn’t have inner driving force to learn to read.
27. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mr. Creech taught two students called Anthony Hamilton.
B. The author had become a published author and an active speaker.
C. Dyslexia was the underlying reason that made the author unable to read.
D. The author was grateful to Mr. Creech.

C
A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech integrated systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components,” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team got the go-ahead to start piecing together the components. “The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own,” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. “Basically, it should be able to take off, land and fly around,” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
28. Which of the following statements was the difficulty engineers met while making the robotic fly?
A. They did not have sufficient fund.
B. No ready-made components were available.
C. There was no model in their mind.
D. It was hard for them to assemble the components.
29. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. The robotic fly has been put into wide application.
B. The robotic fly consists of a flight device and a control system.
C. Information from many sources can be collected by the robotic fly.
D. The robotic fly can just fly in limited areas at present.
30. Which of the following can be learned from the passage?
A. Wood’s design can replace animals in some experiments.
B. Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C. The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
D. There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. The Development of Robotic Fly
B. Robotic Fly Promotes Engineering Science
C. Harvard’s Efforts in Making Robotic Fly
D. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect

D
The joy of absence
How some companies fight the curse of presenteeism (出勤主义)?
RONALD REAGAN famously joked that “it’s true hard work never killed anybody, but I figure, why take the chance?” Beyond a certain level, extra effort seems to be self-defeating. Studies suggest that, after around 50 hours a week, employee productivity declines sharply.
But that doesn’t stop some managers from demanding that workers stay chained to their desk for long periods. Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce group, recently praised the 996 model, where employees work from 9a.m. to 9p.m., six days a week, as a “great opportunity”. Yet presenteeism is the curse of the modern office worker.
There will be days when you do not have much to do; perhaps because you are waiting for someone else in a different department, or a different company, to respond to a request. As the clock ticks past 5p.m., there may be no purpose in staying at your desk. But you can see your boss hard at work and, more importantly, they can see you. So you make an effort to look busy.
The consequence is often wasted effort. Rather than work hard, you slave to make bosses think that you are. But presenteeism has more serious consequences. As well as reduced productivity, this can mean greater medical expenses for the employer. According to a study in the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, these costs can be six times higher for employers than the costs of absenteeism among workers.
None of this is to say that employers are not called to expect workers to be in the office for a proper period of time. Surely there will be a need for some (preferably short) meetings. Dealing with colleagues face-to-face creates a feeling of togetherness, allows for a useful exchange of ideas and enables workers to have a better sense of their mutual needs.
Turning an office into a prison, with inmates (囚犯) allowed home for the evenings, does nothing for creativity that is increasingly demanded of office workers as routine tasks are automated. To be productive you need presence of mind, not being present in the flesh.
32. Why does the author mention Ronald Reagan’s joke in Para. 1?
A. To encourage people to grasp the chance to work hard.
B. To show that hard work is harmless.
C. To introduce the topic of the passage.
D. To praise Ronald Reagan’s accomplished joking skills.
33. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence?
A. Extra effort causes problems or difficulties.
B. With extra effort, we can defeat anybody.
C. We should say no to extra effort.
D. Extra effort isn’t necessarily helpful.
34. According to the passage, which of the following situation is helpful to the company?
A. Your team has a ten-minute meeting after work for an urgent problem.
B. You don’t go home until 7:30 p.m. because your boss is in his office and he can see you.
C. The manager tours the engineering department at 7:30 p.m. to check people are at their desks.
D. You attend the office even when you suffer lower back pain.
35. Which of the following opinions agrees with the passage?
A. Some managers expect workers tie themselves up with a chain to their desks.
B. Reduced productivity can mean greater medical expenses for the employer.
C. With growing demand of creativity on office workers, a prison-like office is not a wise option.
D. Presence of mind guarantees your productivity.

What does Wi-Fi stand for?
Long gone are the days of dial-up and waiting for your turn to use the computer. It’s easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. 36
Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires. Everything from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use Wi-Fi, thanks to these waves. 37 Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard.
None of that history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesn’t stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance. 38 So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members.
39 The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保证)” is thanks to the Alliance. Some members didn’t understand the branding or marketing for Wi-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. That’s why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, but the tagline came after the name. 40 Don’t add to the confusion and stop miss-associating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (缩略词).
A. That’s a mouthful.
B. This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.
C. The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.
D. There is some debate surrounding the question what Wi-Fi stands for.
E. In 1997, a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi-Fi standard.
F. Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.
G. Plus, the Alliance removed the tag, although the confusion it brought still lives on today.

Dear teenage boy at the skate park,

So when she said, “Mom it’s full of 49 boys,” I calmly said, “ 50 , they don’t own the skate park.” She then went down the ramp in spite of you and your friends 51 past her.
She only had two or three runs in before you 52 her and said “Hey, excuse me …” I immediately prepared to deliver my “She’s 53 to use this park just as much as you guys” 54 when I heard you say, “Your 55 are wrong. Can I help you?”
You spent almost an hour with my daughter showing her how to 56 , and you held her hand and helped her get up when she fell down.
I know you live nearby and I am proud that you are part of my 57 , and I want to thank you for being 58 to my daughter, who left the skate park with a sense of 59 and with the confidence that she can do 60 , because of you.

Nowadays, many middle school students are taking all kinds of after-school class. There are two opinions about it. Some think that students can get good exam results and go to better schools if they took these classes. They also believe that students can avoid to watching too much TV or playing computer games by taking more after-school classes. But other think students need more time to rest. If they take too much classes, they might feel stressed-out. Besides, putting too much pressure on them can have the opposite effect. As for me, I don’t think take extra classes is necessary. How we learn in class is enough. We can improve our efficient in class and learn to teach ourselves instead relying on extra lessons.

第二节 书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）
Dear Peter,
How is everything going? In your last letter, you asked me about garbage classification in my community, so I’m writing to tell you some details about it.
The garbage classification activity was launched in our community last month. People are required to sort household garbage into four categories, each of which is supposed to be thrown into certain bins at certain times. Individuals who fail to do so will be fined. Although people were confused with the demanding garbage classification at the beginning, they are much better at sorting garbage now with the help of a special App. To make the garbage classification easier to achieve, more and more restaurants in our community are using environmentally friendly materials to deliver their food. The hotels in the neighbourhood also give priority to offering products made from recyclable materials.
Personally, I’m in full support of garbage classification because it contributes to arousing people’s awareness of protecting the environment. Hopefully my information is of help to you.
Best wishes!

Yours ,
Li Hua
