A
When I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “Meat loaf for supper!”
Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.
It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches (素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.
Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.
We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes (条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”
21. When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.
A. moved
B. nervous
C. awkward
D. proud
22. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?
A. Words of love.
B. Famous words of wisdom.
C. Pictures of their pet and flowers.
D. Eggs painted with hearts.
23. It can be inferred that ________.
A. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.
B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.
C. the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.2
D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice. “Mom, come here! There’s a lady here my size!” The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize. I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?” He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?” “Yes, I have a son,” I answered. “Why are you so little?” he asked. “It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids joked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have – a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
28. Why did the mother apologize to the author?
A. Because the boy studied the author from head to toe.
B. Because the boy laughed at the author.
C. Because they boy said the author was shorter than him.
D. Because the mother thought the boy’s words had hurt the author.
29. When did the author realize that she was too short?
A. When she grew up.
B. When she began to go to school.
C. When she was 47 years old.
D. When she met the boy in the supermarket.
30. Which of the following word can best replace the underlined word “diminished”?
A. doubted
B. decreased
C. remained
D. improved
31. Which is NOT true about the author according to the passage?
A. She suffered lots of discrimination when growing up.
B. She is grateful for what she has.
C. She doesn’t see herself different.
D. She thinks people should be treated equally.
D
Bad news travels fast—when you watch the evening news or read the morning papers, it seems that things that get the most coverage are all tragedies like wars, earthquakes, floods, fires and murders.
This is the classic rule for mass media. “They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling,” Jonah Berger, a psychologist at University of Pennsylvania told The New York Times.
But with social media getting increasingly popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rules—good news can actually spread faster and farther than disasters and other sad stories.
Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website and analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.
One of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list. Those stories aroused feelings of awe (敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.
Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article was, the more likely it was to be shared,” Berger wrote in his new book. “For example, stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City,” he writes, “tended to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”
But does all this good news actually make the audience feel better? Not necessarily.
According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, people tend to say more positive things about themselves when they’re talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on microblogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that life is unfair and that they’re less happy than their friends.
But no worries. There’s a quick and easy way to relieve the depression you get from viewing other people’s seemingly perfect lives— turn on the television and watch the news. There is always someone doing worse than you are.
32. Bad news covers most papers because
.
A. the public care for reading tragedies
B. the public intend to express sympathy for victims
C. mass media want to attract the public’s attention
D. mass media appeal to the public to help victims
33. Which of the following might be e-mailed most according to Berger?
A. The perfect vacation of your friend
B. The story of a determined inventor
C. The death of a popular zookeeper
D. The flood hitting a small town
34. We can infer from the passage that
.
A. bad news always makes people sad
B. people prefer to share bad news with a bigger audience
C. people can relieve the depression by reading good news
D. good news sometimes has negative influence
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Good News Spreads Fast
B. Bad News Travels Fast
C. The Effect of Bad News
D. The Power of Good News

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。
What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen?
36
According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.
37
. According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.
Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste.
38
. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat.
39
. There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas. They don’t have enough food to eat. Many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.
40
. It’s also important that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.
A. Students’ waste is extremely serious.
B. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.
C. Students can never realize the serious food crisis.
D. So there’s no excuse that we should waste our food.
E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg (冰山).
F. Compared with them, some live in a different world.
G. China, in turn, features its own eating culture.

and friendliness. The businessman smiled at me and said, “Why would I let someone else
55

57
the words he said or the way his smile seemed like a ray of light on a gloomy day. That was a good 25 years ago, but the
58
this had on my life has lasted. I never had a
59
to thank him personally, but the way in which I choose to look at life as a result of those words is his legacy (遗赠) to me and my thanks to him.
We cannot control people and situations that come to us, but we can always control our response to them. And in such
60
decisions lie our control and personal power to make a positive difference. And it’s something anyone and everyone can do.

A failure doesn’t mean one can never be successfully. Those who they are always afraid of failure will never succeed.

作文
It’s common nowadays in some schools that students take mobile phones with them. And people have distinctly different ideas on this issue.
Some people approve of it. First of all, it’s convenient for students to keep in touch with families and friends by using mobile phones. It can also relieve students of stress from time to time. Besides, some APPs can help students with their study, such as Youdao Dictionary and music players for listening practice.
However, others object to it because it’s a great distraction for students, which may cause a drop in grades. And addicted to mobile phones, some students may spend much of their sleep time playing with mobile phones.
In my opinion, students should be allowed to use mobile phones as long as they keep in mind that study is their major task.
