The non-fiction section contains items to help with homework and research, as well as plenty of books for general interest on a wide number of subjects. To help with revision, the library stocks past papers and revision guides covering all school subjects, as well as books containing guidance on how to study well. Local newspapers can be found here, as well as magazines on a range of topics. The Careers section is kept up to date with information to show pupils a huge collection of options open to them.

In this library, you cannot find .‎ ‎ A. 8,000 fiction B. local newspapers ‎ C. past papers on math D. computers with Internet access ‎22. If you are a student in S5, how many books can you borrow at most?‎ ‎ A. 2. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.‎ ‎23. If you lost a book borrowed from the library, you would .‎ ‎ A. pay a heavy fine B. pay nothing for the book ‎ C. pay the money for the book D. buy a book for a replacement B ‎ Father's Day is celebrated today in 75 countries around the world. In my personal world, it's a day I like to think of my father's father.‎ ‎ I learned a lot in my later life from my dad. But I learned something else, as a kid not even yet in school, from my grandfather. I learned to be curious. Little things fathers and grandfathers do can change the life of a child forever. In my case, this change came from necessity: My mom needed someone to look after little Allen, barely 4 years old, during the school day. My grandmother volunteered, and my grandfather came up with a way I could be watched while he worked in his clockmaker's shop.‎ ‎ He seated me on a chair every day while I was there, right in front of his big workbench. He told me stories. He had a great sense of humor and a funny way of making a "buh-buh-buh" sound when he sensed my attention was weakening, and he encouraged me to ask questions about anything he was doing.‎ ‎ Naturally, I was usually asking questions about clocks--what made the hands move, what the pendulum(钟摆) did, why you had to stop winding just before the weight hit the stop. Sometimes I just asked about which shiny parts went where.‎ ‎ Most of all, he showed me how clocks worked. He treated me as if I were a sort of small grown-up. He never talked down to me, never told me I was "too young to understand".‎ ‎ And so my grandfather granted me two things: A love of clocks, and an everlasting curiosity.‎ ‎ As a journalist, I turned that fascination into explanations of why computers and software do what they do——and, perhaps even more importantly, why they fail at that task. I haven't been afraid of opening up the innards and looking for what is wrong with the computer.‎ ‎24. The author loves his grandfather because .‎ ‎ A. he learned a lot from him ‎ B. he told some stories to make him joyful ‎ C. he was brought up by his grandfather ‎ D. his father seldom paid attention to him ‎25. While staying with his grandfather the author .‎ ‎ A. was tired of the noises in the shop ‎ B. was attracted by his grandfather ‎ C. was forced to sit still on the chair ‎ D. was always asking strange questions ‎26. What is the author's grandfather like in the passage?‎ ‎ A. Patient and responsible. B. Kind and experienced.‎ ‎ C. Active and dependable. D. Gentle and enthusiastic.‎ ‎27. We know according to the passage that the author .‎ ‎ A. was interested in finding out about something ‎ B. became more interested in computers than clocks ‎ C. doesn’t live with his father any longer ‎ D. once broke a lot of clocks C October 15th is the Global Handwashing Day. Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. For example, donators will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.‎ Experts say people around the world wash their hands every day, but very few use soap at so-called important moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning ‎ a baby and before touching food.‎ Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the United Nations Children’s Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Procter and Gamble. The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing bacterium. They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub (揉搓) it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds. Then rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.‎ The Partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands. Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the bacterium. And it usually leaves a pleasant smell. The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine(疫苗) or medicine. Hand washing could also prevent the spread of other diseases. When people get bacterium on their hands, they can infect (感染) themselves by touching their eyes, noses or mouths. Then they can infect others.‎ ‎28. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. Say no to washing hands in the wrong way.‎ B. Find out why washing hands carefully is so important.‎ C. Hand washing: so important -- it gets a day of its own.‎ D. Want to live a longer life? -- wash your hands.[来源:学科网ZXXK]‎ ‎29. The word “rinse” in Paragraph 3 probably means .‎ A. to dry your hands B. to wash away the soap C. to rub your hands carefully D. to clean your fingers ‎30. The last paragraph mainly tells us .‎ A. how to wash your hands correctly ‎ B. why washing hand with soap is so important C. the dangers of washing hands without soap D. when we should especially wash our hands with soap ‎31. In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage?‎ A. Medical care B. Public service ‎ C. Health report D. Advertisement D People say that text messages and e-mails lack emotion compared to phone or face-to-face conversations. But one thing seems to improve it – the emoticon(表情符).‎ These little symbols – whether it’s a wink(眨眼); -), a smiley : -) or a sad face :-( - always add a little something to whatever you are sending out, making it more expressive than cold words on a screen.‎ To be sure, emoticons have changed the way that we communicate with each other. But there is more: a new study found that they are even changing how our brains work – we now react to emoticons in the same way as we would to real human faces, reported Live Science.‎ It’s actually amazing when you start to think about it: what an emoticon consists of is simply three punctuation marks(标点符号) – on their own, they carry no meaning as a pair of eyes, a nose or a mouth, but after they were first put together as symbols for faces in 1982, they began to appear more and more in our written materials.‎ Owen Churches, a scientist at Flinders University in Australia, wanted to find out what people see in emoticons that make them so popular. So he showed 20 participants images of real faces, a smiley emoticon and a series of meaningless characters while their brain activities were monitored.‎ Previous studies have already shown that our brains process human faces differently than they do other objects – they analyze the position of the mouth relative to the nose and the eyes to “read” for emotions. As a result, certain parts of our brain, such as the occipital-temporal cortex, are activated(激活).‎ When Churches compared participants’ brain activities, he was surprised to find that the brain areas that were activated when people looked at smiley emoticons were the same as when they were shown pictures of real faces.‎ According to Churches, this is a good example of how culture is shaping our brains. “Emoticons are a new form of language that we’re producing,” Churches told ABC ‎ Science. “Before 1982 there would be no reason that ‘:-)’ would activate face-sensitive areas of the cortex, but now it does because we’ve learnt that this represents a face.”‎ Next time you chat with your friends online, try to use emoticons where they are needed. It’ll be almost like you’re smiling or winking at them yourself.‎ ‎32. According to the article, Owen Churches’ research mainly focuses on .‎ ‎ A. the influence of emoticons on communication ‎ ‎ B. various messages that emoticons can carry ‎ C. how the human brain recognizes different emotions ‎ D. why people like emoticons ‎33. Which of the following statements about emoticons is TRUE according to the article?‎ ‎ A. Emoticons are more convenient and efficient than text messages and e-mails.‎ ‎ B. Emoticons have been accepted in written tests.‎ ‎ C. Emoticons were created out of meaningless characters in the early 1980s.‎ ‎ D. Emoticons, symbols made up of punctuation marks, make online messages more lively.‎ ‎34. We can infer from the article that .‎ ‎ A. the use of emoticons has changed how people recognize real faces ‎ B. people should try to use emoticons as much as possible ‎ C. emoticons could possibly develop into a new form of language ‎ D. human brains are constantly developing ‎35. According to the article, our brain when we read emoticons.‎ ‎ A. compares the shapes of the symbols with those of real faces ‎ B. matches them with different types of real facial expressions ‎ C. tries to translate the symbols into simple words ‎ ‎ D. first adds meanings and then adds emotions to the symbols 第二节（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5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。‎ For a bird, to fly hundreds or thousands of miles each spring and fall is a difficult ‎ and dangerous journey, one that not all birds can survive. 36 There is more than one single reason for different birds to migrate(迁徙), but it all comes down to survival.‎ Birds are migrating for a meal.‎ For all birds, one of the main driving forces behind migration is food. If all birds were to stay in the same places year-round, food there would become not enough. 37 But as the food supplies decrease in the fall, they return to the southern areas.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ Over millions of years, birds have developed different migration patterns, times and destinations. This helps birds take advantage of a wide variety of suitable conditions to raise their young, which increases the survival chances of the young birds.‎ Birds are migrating because of climate changes.‎ Changes in climate can affect migration. Many birds leave the Arctic for example, when temperatures begin to fall. They need warmer habitats. Similarly, the hottest regions can be an unpleasant environment for raising young birds. 39 ‎ Birds are migrating because of predators.‎ Habitats that have rich food sources also attract a greater number of predators who may kill birds. 40 Many birds even migrate to specialized habitats that are nearly inaccessible to predators, such as coastal cliffs or rocky offshore islands.‎ ‎A. So why do birds migrate?‎ ‎ B. Birds are migrating for their young.‎ ‎ C. So how do young birds migrate?‎ ‎ D. Birds are migrating because of diseases.‎ ‎ E. It is beneficial to lay eggs further north in cooler areas.‎ ‎ F. Birds that migrate to different habitats can avoid being eaten by predators.‎ ‎ G. As food sources are rich in the north each spring, millions of birds migrate from south to those areas.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分50分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20 小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ When 10 girls from Gardiner High School in Montana received a sum of money to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter to help the homeless.‎ For over a year, the girls have been using all their free time to complete the 41 .‎ ‎“They have this amazing internal(内心的) 42 that I’ve never seen in any individual,” Violet Mardiro, a teacher at Gardiner High who is 43 with the team on the project, told The Huffington Post. “I thought 44 that maybe some of them would give up, say ‘I didn’t 45 this much work,’ but they haven’t.

The project was carried out with DIY Girls, a nonprofit that helps fund STEM – science, technology, engineering and math – projects for 56 .‎ Mardirosian said all the participating students have 57 their interest in STEM through this project.‎ ‎“Many of them didn’t think about engineering before. They thought maybe they’re not 58 out to be an engineer. But working together, now they 59 their skill – whether a writing skill or a drawing skill or a speaking skill, they’re all 60 in this field.

Remember to make notes when you read, or you won’t keep track of different ideas. ‎ M: I think that’s my main problem—I don’t remember where I’ve read the ideas so I can’t find them again later. ‎ W: It’s a common problem among students. You should spend more time arranging the material into some kind of system ready for further analysis.‎ M: That’s a great help. Thank you very much. ‎ W: You’re welcome. ‎ Text 10‎ ‎ Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping, let me start by giving you some background information about the company. It started 25 years ago as a chain selling camping equipment. And 20 years ago, it bought a small number of places to camp in the UK, and began offering holidays. Now, it ‎ has been providing holidays in Europe for the last 15 years. We believe our holidays offer superb camping plans for the whole family. Our children’s activities are organized by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day begins with a football match, followed by an hour of opera for everyone. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity such as a drawing competition for each day of the week. What’s more, our sites are truly child-friendly. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10:00, and from 10:30 on holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.‎
