I think the schools couldn't have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples,deeply inspiring us in our daily life.‎ ‎1) Steve Jobs, Stanford‎ ‎University:‎ ‎"Remembering you're going to die, and the best way I know is to avoid the trap of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice... "‎ ‎2) Oprah Winfrey, Stanford‎ ‎University:‎ ‎"I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school... And the secret I've learned to get ahead is being open to the lessons from the grandest universe of all. Don't react against a bad situation. And the solution will arise from the challenge. So don't give up easily, acting with responsibility.."‎ ‎3) Bono, University‎ of ‎Pennsylvania:‎ ‎"For four years you've been buying, trading, and selling everything you've got in this market-place of ideas. Your pockets are full, even if your parents' are empty, and now you've got to figure out what to spend it on... The world is more flexible than you think and it's waiting for you to hammer it into shape... "‎ ‎4) Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin:‎ ‎"Now it's time for you to move on to what's next and obtain your desire. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, or sometimes you'll miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and obstacles. But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. "‎ ‎16. Who wants to express "Don't live your life in regret?"‎ A. Michael Dell. B. Bono. C. Steve Jobs. D. Oprah Winfrey.‎ ‎17.

Some effective solutions.‎ B If you find yourself hitting the snooze button(闹钟延时按钮) every morning, don't blame yourself. Your work schedule could be to blame.‎ Research now shows that, for many of us, our work schedules don't go with our natural body clocks—and experts are urging employers to take notice. Sleep is a “strategic resource” that most companies are ignoring. When work schedules are aligned with people's natural sleep patterns, they produce higher quality and more innovative work because they are more focused, less stressed and generally healthier. The opposite is also true—when employees are not getting enough sleep they are more likely to make major mistakes and suffer from workplace injuries. [来源:学。科 But it's not just about the amount of sleep you get. It's important that people recognize every living thing, from primitive bacteria to human beings, has a biologically determined internal body clock. This determines whether you are a night owl(夜猫子), an early bird or somewhere in the middle. We don't have any choice. “It's like feet，” said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology(生物钟学). “Some people are born with big feet and some with small feet, but most people are somewhere in the middle.”‎ Many companies start the workday at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m., putting their work schedules in disagreement with their employees' body clock. This mismatch, along with the pressure to be productive and be available to respond to email or take calls at all hours of the day and night, means that many people suffer from what is called “social jet lag” . ‎ ‎19.The underlined word “aligned” in Paragraph 2 means “________”．‎ A. matched B. cooperated C. conflicted D. shortened ‎ ‎20. What does Till Roenneberg' s remark mean?‎ A. The amount of sleep you get counts much.‎ B. An early bird does better than a night owl.‎ C. We are born to have a body clock.‎ D. Most people have neither too big nor too small feet.‎ ‎21.If people suffer from “social jet lag”，they will ________．‎ A. not be as clever as other people B. fail to finish their daily tasks ‎ C. fail to adjust their body clock D. act as if they were in the wrong time zone ‎22. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Body clock and good work habits B. Late for work? Maybe not your fault C. How to improve your work efficiency D. Urgent need to change your body clock ‎ ‎ C The meaning of the word “volunteer” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways ‎ in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.‎ At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.‎ ‎“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”‎ ‎“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”‎ ‎23.According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.‎ A．is willing to help those in need without pay ‎ B．can afford to travel to different places C．has a strong wish to be successful ‎ D．has made a big fortune in life ‎24.Tracy started her work as a volunteer _______.‎ A．after she met Mother Teresa B．after she finished high school C．when she was touring Calcutta D．when she was working in a hospital ‎25.Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?‎ A．She liked to work with Mother Teresa.‎ B．She had already had some experience.‎ C．She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example.‎ D．She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.‎ ‎26.What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?‎ A．Going abroad to help the sick.‎ B．Working in Mother Teresa’s home.‎ C．Doing simple things to help the poor.‎ D．Improving oneself through helping others.‎ D Many expressions that we use in American English come from novels. Today we will look at some of them from Lewis Carroll's famous novel"Alice in Wonderland" in detail. ‎ The story is about a young girl falling down a rabbit hole. When she finally lands, ‎ she finds herself in a strange world and meets some strange characters. ‎ The first character Alice meets is the White Rabbit, who runs past her and says some strange words. Alice chases（追赶）him, and that is where her adventures begin. ‎ In English, chasing a white rabbit means chasing an impossible clue and finding yourself in a misleading situation. ‎ Then, as she runs after the rabbit, she falls down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. ‎ To fall down the rabbit hole can mean to enter a confusing（令人困惑的）situation. However, usually we use this expression to mean we get interested in something to the point of distraction（分神）. It often happens by accident and is about something not that meaningful. ‎ Later in the story, Alice meets the March Hare and the Hatter at a crazy tea party. Hares（野兔）have long been thought to behave excitedly in March, which is their mating（交配）season. Scientifically, this may not be true. But to be mad as a March Hare means that someone is completely mad, or crazy. The expression mad as a Hatter also means to be completely crazy. Of the two, mad as a Hatter is more common. But don't tell the March Hare. Who knows how he will react（反应）！‎ Near the end of the story, Alice meets the Queen of Hearts. A woman who is called a Queen of Hearts likes controlling others and always tries to control everything and everyone around her. ‎ ‎27. Which of the following situations best fits the expressions to fall down a rabbit hole？‎ A. When Tom was taking a walk in the forest, he suddenly fell over onto the ground. ‎ B. When Mary turned on the TV, she chose to watch the talk show programme as usual. ‎ C. When Jim was looking for a sport book online, he lost himself in many report on superstars. ‎ D. When Lily was thinking about how to solve a math problem, she came up with a good idea. ‎ ‎28. According to the passage, the expression to be mad as a March Hare . ‎ A. describes how hares behave in March B. shows hares' characteristics in a scientific way C. is used more often than the expression mad as a Hatter. ‎ D. has the same meaning as the expression mad as a Hatter ‎29. Which character in"Alice in Wonderland"wants others to obey his or her orders in every situation？‎ A. Alice B. The March Hare C. The Hatter D. The Queen of Hearts. ‎ ‎30. The writer mainly wants to in the passage. ‎ A. introduce a famous novel and its language style B. introduce a famous writer Lewis Carroll and his novels C. explore some English expressions from a famous novels D. explain why many expressions in English come from novels 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） ‎ ‎ 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。‎ The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 31 . By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.‎ ‎1.Curiosity Your children need to be deeply curious. 32 . Ask kids, “What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?” and then try them out. Ingredients make the pancakes better? What could we try next time?‎ ‎2.

Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity.‎ ‎3.Personal skills Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids.

Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 34 . “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?”‎ ‎4.

I knew it could disappear as quickly as it came. She said she always felt a 50 to me and that I was nice, but that it had come to her suddenly that I was her child. We felt 51 .
