and his daughter were flying a kite in the park. The young daugh
ter was a little bit tired, so they took a break on the bench. Wh
en the daughter saw an old man selling apples, she asked her fath
er to buy her some apples. Her father didn’t bring much money wit
h him, but it was enough to buy two apples. So he did, and gave b
oth of them to his daughter, smiling.His daughter held one apple
in her right hand. Then the father asked her if she could share o
ne of the apples with him. When the girl heard this, she quickly
took a bite from one apple. And before her father could speak, sh
e also took a bite from the second apple. The father was surprise
d. He wanted to know why his daughter acted in such a greedy（贪婪的）
way. He was lost in thought. Perhaps he was just thinking too muc
h. His daughter was too young to understand sharing and giving. A
smile disappeared from his face.Suddenly, his daughter held up t
he apple in her left hand and said, “Daddy, take this one! It is
much juicier and sweeter.” Her father didn’t know what to say. He
felt bad about making the judgment（判断） so fast about a small chi
ld. So he smiled again, knowing why his daughter quickly took a b
itefrom each apple.Don’t judge anything or draw a conclusion（结论）
too quickly. Always spend some more time in understanding things
better.The father and his daughter were when they saw the apple s

ng some applesThe father was surprised because .A. the girl asked
for one apple but took twoB. he had no more money for another ap
pleC. both apples were not sweet and juicyD. the girl took a bite
from both applesWhat can we learn from this passage?A. Girls are
sometimes greedy.B. Parents are usually kind.C. Don’t judge anyt
hing too early.D. Children should listen to parents.CA black hole
is a place in outer space with very strong gravity. Gravity is a
great force（力量） that shapes the universe. On Earth, gravity make
s apples fall from trees. It keeps your feet planted on the groun
d. The gravity in a black hole is much stronger. It is so strong
that nothing around it can get away from it, not even light.Black
holes are invisible. We can’t actually see them because they don
’t throw back light. But scientists can find them with space tele
scopes and special tools. The strong gravity makes nearby stars m
ove in a certain way. By studying how the stars move, scientists
can find out if they are flying around a black hole. Strange thin
gs happen around black holes. This makes black holes a popular su
bject of science fiction（科幻）stories, although they are very unrea
l.A black hole forms（形成）when a star dies. The star falls in on it
self and turns into a very smallpoint. Because of its small size
and huge mass（质量）, the gravity will be so strong that it will pul
l light in and become a black hole. Black holes can grow huge as
they continue to pull other things in and “eat” them. Many scient
ists believe that there are super-massive black holes at the cent
er of galaxies, including the Milky Way.The idea of the black hol
e was first suggested by two different scientists in the 18th cen
tury: John Michelle and Pierre-Simon Laplace. In 1967, a physicis
t named John Archibald Wheeler came up with the name “black hole”
. Studying black holes can tell us many things about our galaxy a
nd helpscientists answer questions about the universe.The word “i
nvisible” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A. far to goB. easy t
o findC. difficult to catchD. impossible to seeThe third paragrap
h is mainly about .A. how big black holes areB. how heavy black h
oles areC. how black holes are formedD. how black holes “eat” sta
rsFrom the passage we learn .a star’s moving path can help scient
ists find a black holewriters love writing about black holes beca
use they are realmany scientists believe that there aren’t any bl
ack holes at the center of the Milky WayJohn Archibald Wheeler fo
und the first black hole in spaceDDo you like history? Some stude
nts do not like it. They think history is about meaningless dates
, events and names which are not related to（与…有关） their everyday
lives.There is a different way of looking at history. The Histori
cal Society of Chicago, for example,runs a lot of interesting pro
jects. One is the Teen Council’s community-based oral history pro
ject. The Teen Council was made up of 15 teenagers from all over
the Chicago area. The members of the Teen Council were interested
in finding out what teenagers were like and how their lives chan
ged during the 20th century. They took filed trips around the cit
y and interviewed（采访）all kinds of people.After doing a lot of int
erviews with people, the members realized that behind the ordinar
y facesof common people are often amazing stories of their lives
that form “history”. They also came to understand that teenagers
at different periods in history have always used music, fashion,
dance and language to express themselves, just like teenagers tod
ay.The Teen Council’s work was made into an exhibition （展览） at th
e Chicago City Museum andit can be seen at their website. In the
website, you can read the self-introduction pages of the Council
members. Also on their web page, the Council members describe the
interviewees who impressed them. For example, Claire describes h
ow she felt moved when she interviewed Sammy Skobel, who was blin
d and had to face a lot of problems in his high school and in loo
king for jobs. The Teen Council wrote summaries of their findings
and categorized them into work, school, home and play.They used
their strengths and worked together to make their project success
ful.Are you interested in trying a similar oral history project a
nd finding out how the people in your community spent their teena
ge days? The website explains how you can plan and set up an inte
rview, and how you can write down interviews and write reports. I
t also includes an interview with a famous Chicago-born TV presen
ter as an example of how interviews can help us experience histor
y through the stories of eyewitnesses（见证人）.History is not somethi
ng that has nothing to do with you. In fact, your grandparents ma
de history,your parents made history and you are creating history
right now.What can we learn about the Teen Council’s oral histor
y project?Their interviews help us experience history through sto
ries.They found teenagers at different periods like the same thin
gs.They traveled around the country and interviewed different peo
ple.Their exhibition explains how we can plan and set up an inter
view.According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that .t
here is only one right way of looking at the historyhistory has n
othing much to do with our everyday liveswe are related to and cr
eating our own history right nowthe amazing stories behind famous
people form our historyWhich of the following would be the best
title for the passage?A. A Project for Meaning.B. An Exhibition o
n the Go.C. Education for Success.D. History in the Making.阅读短文,根
据短文内容回答问题。(共 6 分, 每小题 2 分)On winter nights, the wind usually blow
s strongly. Most of us stay inside our warm homes. Few of us thin
k about the homeless. These people have no choice but to sleep on
the streets. Some of them are so poor that they have no money to
buy food.A young man in Birmingham, England, made a decision to
do something about this. Every night,he puts on a Spiderman sui（t
套装）and gives food to the homeless he meets. He makes sure that t
hesepeople won’t go hungry. The man refuses to make his name publ
ic.The local people call him “the Birmingham Spiderman”. The youn
g man hopes his action will show others that everybody deserves（应
得）a helping hand.The 25-year-old man started his night activities
in 2015. Every night at 9, he buys somesandwiches. Then, he find
s a quiet place and puts on his suit. After that, the “Spiderman”
starts handing his food out to people in need.The man said, “I w
ear the Spiderman suit in order to get attention.” Without the su
it, few people took a second look at him when he was handing out
food. When people see the “Spiderman”, however, they come over an
d ask what he is doing.“The Birmingham Spiderman” has already got
lots of attention. Many people have offered to give away money t
o him. But the young man never accepts the money. Instead, he enc
ourages people to go out and help people in need on their own. He
said, “If more people offer a helping hand, the cold winter nigh
ts won’t be so cold any longer.”How does the young man in Birming
ham England help the homeless people?What does the young man hope
his action will show others?Why does the young man never accept
the money that many people have given to him?书面表达（共 24 分）根据音标和句子上

w that people have been using fire for millions of years. Its
many uses helped them to survive.In the beginning, people probabl
y used fire for three purposes: to stay warm, to keep wild animal
s away, and to have light in the darkness. People built fires an
d stayed 2 to them because bears and wolves would stay away fro
m the flames. They slept near the fire for warmth, as well.Eventu
ally, people discovered that roasted meat tasted good. Soon they
were cooking their meat and fish. Cooking kills germs. As a resul
t, people became sick less often.Early people thought of more 3 f
or fire. Using smoky torches, humans forced bees to leave their h
ive. This resulted in the people getting honey. They discovered t
hat fire could be used for hunting, too.Over time, people figured
out that they could grow seed-bearing grass such as wheat. They
needed a way to clear a field quickly so that they could plant wh
at they wanted. It was much easier to burn a field than to cut do
wn every bush and tree. 4 people had farms, they also built
houses. Each home had a fireplace. Even 150 years ago a fire
was always burning in most homes so that people could make soup a
nd hot drinks at any time.Today small fires burn in our homes in
our gas furnaces, water heaters, stoves, dryers, and fireplaces.
Thus, fire continues to help us thrive.阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的 A、

d … here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo.We often find ourselves in an
endless thought loop（圈）. And every so often, we try to stop this
endless flow of thoughts by telling ourselves to just stop think
ing. But do we or can we ever reallystop thinking?It depends on y
our definition（定义）of “thinking”, according to Michael Halassa, a
researcher at MIT, the US. We basically go through each day in on
e of the two states — we either realize that we’re thinking or we
don’t. Our brains won’t stop thinking completely until we die.“T
he brain never stops thinking in a sense. Most thoughts are actua
lly in the background without us noticing them and there’s not re
ally a way to turn these things off,” Halassa said.You can compar
e this to how a computer works. When you’re not using your comput
er while it’s turned on, it is still running operations “in the b
ackground”. Your computer, much like your brain, is always “think
ing”, even if you’re not actively using it.“If you see a familiar
face in a crowd and think you know them, you might not be able t
o come up with how you know them right away,” Halassa said. “But
maybe hours later, you’ll suddenly remember. That’s a result of y
our brain thinking in the background.”We even make decisions with
out realizing them. For example, some of this background “thinkin
g” results in what we call “gut feeling”（直觉）. During our brain’s
decision-making process, sometimes we create a story to explain t
he decision — sometimes it’s accurate, sometimes it’s not.Even si
tting here reading this, thinking about “thinking” is sending mes
sages across a chain ofneutron（s 神经元）in the brain. So if we somehow manage to stop ourselves from “thinking”, the brainwon’t sign off. It will continue to have thoughts — we just won’t realize them.When you are in an endless thought loop, you .A. can think about a problem very clearlyB. keep thinking about one thing after anotherC. can’t stop thinking about things in the past D. keep thinking about one thing again and againWhat does Paragraph 5 try to tell us?A.
