At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.
In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype made stronger since birth, that men do science and maths and women do arts or languages. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.
Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say: “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.
A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology
sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code and these days it’s as important as reading and writing. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.
Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to M inecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials in science and want to change the world.
24. What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Pa ragraph 2 refer to?
A. Personal learning style.
B. Sex characteristic.
C. Conventional sex concept.
D. Profession difference.
25. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?
A. Increasing job possibility.
B. Winning popularity.
C. Improving language competence.
D. Enriching imagination.
26. How did the author feel for her major choice?
A. Satisfied.
B. Active.
C. Discouraged.
D. Regretful.
27. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Art or Science, Either is OK
B. Good Subjects, Good Future
C. Girls, Choose More Wisely
D. Catch Chances, Change the World
C
One way to prevent anxiety from getting out of control is to recognize its benefits. It is a
mistake to think that we'd make better decisions if only we keep our feelings under control. Instead, a mix of feelings like anxiety and logical thinking leads to sound decision- making. It's true that there is plenty of research showing that higher levels of anxiety can make us more likely to avoid risks in our decision-making. There is also evidence that anxiety can increase the attention you pay to relevant information.
Recent studies have shown that people who are anxious about their relationship （for example, they fear to be abandoned）tend to be better at recognizing people who tell lies and are more likely to raise the alarm when danger is present.
In the real world though, it's worth realizing that feeling anxious once in a while is extremely common. It communicates to others that you care, and what's more, it's probably a sign that you are intelligent. At least two published studies have identified that people who score higher on measures of anxiety also tend to perform better on intelligence tests. This seems reasonable: if you're a thinker, you are sure to be always thinking about the future and imagine possible plots, including bad ones.
The important thing, if you are a worrywart（杞人忧天者），is not to let your fear destroy your dreams. And don't bury your head in the sand. Instead, act on your fears——do the research as well as preparation, so rather than walking blindly into that which you fear, you meet the challenge in full readiness.
When anxiety beats you, or casts a shadow over your life, this is a serious problem. No one is denying that. But like everyday anxiety of this kind that you feel before a presentation or interview, you needn't see it as your enemy. Anxiety is an important feeling, developed through evolution. As for people who are fairly anxious by nature, there is reason for cheer, too. Your nerves(神经紧张）are a sign of your watchfulness. Listen to them and act on them. Then you can turn your nervousness into your advantage.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph about anxiety?
A. It can enable us to be more focused.
B. It can stop us from thinking logically.
C. It can make us more willing to take risks.
D. It can be the only reason for all bad decisions.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Anxious people are less sensitive to danger.
B. Anxious people have difficulty discovering liars.
C. Feeling anxious is more likely to put people at risk.
D. Feeling anxious occasionally is a sign of intelligence.
30. How should we deal with anxiety in the author's opinion?
A. Regard it as our enemy.
B. Take action to control it.
C. Avoid being defeated by it.
D. Treat it as a minor feeling.
31. What is the theme of the passage?
A. Effective ways to prevent anxiety.
B. Unexpected benefits of anxiety.
C. Tips on how to keep a good mood.
D. Common misunderstandings about anxiety.
D
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
32. The new products become more and more time-saving because __________.
A. our love of speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited.
C. the prices are increasingly high.
D. the manufactures boast a lot.
33. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?
A. Imaginary life
B. Simple life in the past.
C. Times of inventions
D. Time for constant activity.
34. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern tech nology?
A. Critical
B. Objective.
C. Optimistic.
D. Negative.
35. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times.
B. Machinery and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions.
D. Modern technology and its influence.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Music is an art form which deals with the representation of emotion through the medium of
sound. It can have a physical effect on us because it is closely linked with emotion, perhaps even more than the abstract nature of words. The number one reason why people listen to music is to adjust their emotional state. 36
Numerous studies leave us in no doubt that music can affect our mood state and stress level. 37 For example, they have found that background music shuts out distractions. It calms them before a large task and then they can stay focused for longer. Also it can help their creativity and make studying more enjoyable.
38 Firstly, it depends on what the task it. The more difficult the challenge is, the more likely background music will interrupt the learning process. For less challenging learning tasks, music can greatly assist in providing a positive learning state. Secondly, it depends on the characteristics of the music we'll come to in a moment. And thirdly, extroverts（性格外向者）enjoy and often require more external stimulation(刺激）and are likely to handle background noise better than those who are quiet and shy.
Actually, it's not about the type of music, but the natural musical characteristics which aid or disrupt study. One of these characteristics is the tempo(拍子). The recommended tempo for background music is in the range 70-110 beats per minute, slightly faster than the heartbeat at rest.
39 And very slow music lowers the heartbeat, creating a state that might be too relaxed for study purposes.
In addition, lyrics are the most distracting aspect of background musical listening.__40 __More particularly, studies have found that the most distracting background is fast and familiar vocal music, chosen and liked by the listener.
A. Music is part of every culture in the world.
B. In a very real sense, music connects us with our inner selves.
C. They compete with the same brain regions that process language.
D. Music, like language, is a unique human form of communication.
E. Fast music raises the heartbeat , making one unable to focus on study.
F. There are a few factors that determine the effects of music on studying.
G. Moreover, those who like studying with background music have found a lot of benefits.

My husband and I stood there together, 41 the lovely table and chairs. They were high-quality pieces of furniture.
“They’re antiques, family heirlooms(传家宝),” our hosts told us. Both husband and wife smiled with satisfaction and obvious 42 for these treasures. They invited us to sit and enjoy a meal in this inviting room full of fragile things.
The meal was served, and we 43 and grew comfortable. Soon my husband grew a little too comfortable, and without 44 , got into a bad habit. He leaned（倚靠）back in his chair, 45 enough to lift the front legs off the floor…

Sometimes we have to make that kind of 56 . The fact is, other people don’t always value what we value 57 we value it. They don’t always act carefully. Sometimes they cost us. If we value people, we’d better hold 58 to our treasures and be ready to love others, 59 it costs us something we love.

My parents and I visited my uncle in Seattle on last July. My favorite experience was our trip to Mount Rainer, an volcano near Seattle. Before we left, my uncle gave us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, I supposed that it will be very hot. When we drove up the mountain, I found the top covering with snow and ice! My uncle led me to a small path to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. Suddenly there appeared a field that small wild flowers grew up through the snow. Little animal stood still; tiny birds rose highly into the air. It was the most beautiful sight that I’d never seen.

书面表达
Dear Sir/Madam，
I am very glad to hear that your school will start an English Summer Camp which includes a variety of courses, such as cooking, swimming, giving first aid, playing football or basketball. I am interested in giving first aid and I am writing to sign up for the course.
I choose to attend the courses due to the fact that first aid is of great importance to people. If a person gets injured and needs medical care before a doctor can be called in, every second counts in saving life, in which case the knowledge of first aid can help save lives. Besides personally, I plan to study medicine and devote my life to medical research. Hopefully, the course will help me to learn about how to deal with medical emergencies.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Yours, LiHua
