We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. ks5u I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when ‎ I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. ks5u The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times." ks5u My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. ks5u From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy. ks5u ‎ ks5u 56.

They're ordinary folks like you and me. ks5u But am I good enough? ks5u I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help. ks5u Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能）, and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed. ks5u The promise that paid off ks5u The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability: ks5u You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿） suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course. ks5u I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute. ks5u Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles. ks5u Free test and brochure ks5u We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training. ks5u Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever. ks5u ‎ ks5u Sincerely, ks5u ‎ ks5u Kristi Holl, Instructor ks5u Institute of Children's Literature ks5u ‎ ks5u 56.

But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的） basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation. ks5u Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. ks5u In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study ‎ that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention. ks5u Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots. ks5u Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的） light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax. ks5u So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管）," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with." ks5u ‎ ks5u 64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research? ks5u A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture. ks5u ‎【答案】B。 ks5u ‎【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知Joan Meyers-Levy focus on ceilings. ks5u 65. The passage tells us that ______. ks5u A. the shape of furniture may affect people's feelings ks5u B. lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity ks5u C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades ks5u D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed ks5u ‎【答案】A。 ks5u ‎【解析】细节判断题。根据文中内容可知B,C和D均是错误的。 ks5u 66. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ______. ks5u A. the problem is not approached step by step ks5u B. the researches so far have faults in themselves ks5u C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect ks5u D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns ks5u ‎【答案】D。 ks5u ‎【解析】句意猜测题。根据划线句子后面的一句话可以知道该题的正确答案为:D。 ks5u ‎67. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage? ks5u CP: Central Point P: Point SP: Sub-point（次要点） C: Conclusion ks5u ‎【答案】C。 ks5u ‎【解析】考查文章结构。注意解题技巧。第一段为总要点，最后一段为结论，要点123共同服务于结论，重要的是要点二又包含了两个次要点。综上分析可知答案为:C。 ks5u ‎ ks5u D ks5u When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students. ks5u Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society. ks5u Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive（情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all. ks5u The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. ks5u Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. ks5u So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize. ks5u ‎68. According to Paragraph 1, students ks5u A. regard music as a way of entertainment ks5u B. disagree with their parents on education ks5u C. view music as an overlooked subject ks5u D. prefer the arts to science ks5u ‎【答案】A。 ks5u ‎【解析】从第一段我们可以知道，学生们一般把music列为entertainment，列为not important。所以正确的答案为:A ks5u ‎69. In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz an example to ks5u A. compare it with rock music ks5u B. show music identifies a society ks5u C. introduce American musical traditions ks5u D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles ks5u ‎【答案】B。 ks5u ‎【解析】推理判断题。通过第二段最后三行的描述，特别是最后一句话，我们可以断定该题的正确答案为:B。 ks5u ‎70. According to the passage, the arts and science . ks5u A. approach the world from different angles ks5u B. explore different phenomena of the world ks5u C express people’s feelings in different ways ks5u D. explain what it means to be human differently ks5u ‎【答案】A。 ks5u ‎【解析】推理判断题。通读文章我们知道艺术和科学从不同的角度来审视社会。而不是用不同的方式来表达人们的情感。 ks5u ‎71.

But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness, it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively（不引人注目地）and leave no mark. ks5u Wild camping is not permitted in many places, particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are, find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces, and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building. For example, it is fine to camp wild ‎ in remote parts of Scotland, but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission, except in national parks. ks5u Camping is about having relaxation, sleeping outdoors, experiencing bad weather, and making do without modern conveniences. A busy, fully-equipped campsite（野营地）seems to go against this, so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still, find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure. ks5u Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland, avoid standing dead trees, which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves, and possible homes of biting insects. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire, do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found, not made—changing it should be unnecessary. ks5u ‎72.

In the morning, we bicycled to the suburbs to plant trees, talking and laughing all the way. Upon arrival, we began to work immediately. Some were digging holes. Some were carrying and planting young trees. Others were watering them. After getting the work done, we put up a board reminding people to protect the trees. Before leaving we took some photos to record our green action. Seeing the lines of trees, we all had a sense of achievement. We feel it’s our duty to protect and beautify our environment. ks5u ‎ ks5u 第二节 开放作文（15分） ks5u 请根据下面提示，写一篇短文，词数不少于50 ks5u In your spoken English class, your teacher shows you the following picture. You are asked to describe the picture and explain how you understand it. ks5u ‎ ks5u ‎【参考范文】 ks5u What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles. He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it’s a bit funny, for we Chinese take for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job, In my opinion, we don’t need to copy others’ ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.‎
