Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such absurd things. So it silently began to pay careful attention to your needs and never let itself grow. When mind loosens its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.‎ ‎ This might be the reason why we all sometimes think ＂What happens next?＂, ＂Why can＇t I think?＂, ＂Why am I always given the difficult problems?＂ Well this is the result of our own karma（宿命）of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.‎ ‎ Hunger of the mind can be actually settled through extensive reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take help of reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your ＂How to?＂ questions. Once you read a book, you just don＇t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes（解码）it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.‎ ‎ Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams! This is nothing lout creativity. The more the number of books you read, the more your mind will open up. Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you start speaking English or any language fluently with your friends or other people and you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.‎ ‎4. What does the author mean by saying that our mind is hungry?‎ ‎ A. We don＇t read books. B. Our creativity gets a full stop.‎ ‎ C. We don＇t have a good memory. D. We don＇t know what to do next.‎ ‎5.

By reading more, we are sure to .‎ ‎ A. perform better mentally in the future B. dream the wildest dreams ‎ C. store books in your mind D. speak English fluently C Pushy parents and teachers who ＂hothouse＂ the under-5s risk causing damage to the children＇s long-term development, a leading education expert said.‎ ‎ Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, told that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5,but children whose first year at school was stimulating（使人兴奋的）outstripped them years later.‎ ‎ The findings suggest that the government＇s structured approach to early-years learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.‎ ‎ In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at ‎6 in the United States, France and ‎ Germany, and at 7 Finland and Sweden.‎ ‎ Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were＂boring children to tears＂. Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.‎ ‎ ＂Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children arc followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction. ＂She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.‎ ‎8. According to the passage, those who ＂hothouse＂ the under-5s would probably______.‎ ‎ A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teaching ‎ B. teach in a lively way to motivate kids＇ interest ‎ C. push the kids to memorize pieces of information ‎ D. care about the kids＇ physical development ‎9. What does the underlined word ＂outstripped＂ in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. did better than ‎ B. looked down upon ‎ C. caught up with ‎ D. performed worse than ‎10. The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching______.‎ ‎ A. can start at different times in different countries ‎ B. should not be started too early ‎ C. is best carried out in Finland and Sweden ‎ D. should include teaching children social and manual skills ‎11. Which of the following is NOT the opinion of Lilian Katz?‎ ‎ A. Children should be taught through first-hand experience.‎ ‎ B. Learning in a mixed-age class is good for children.‎ ‎ C. Running a shop can help children get good marks.‎ ‎ D. Puppet shows and drawing are useful ways in teaching children.‎ D ‎ Legend has it that the performing arts began when a Greek singer named Thespis invented ‎ tragedy. In 534 B.C., Thespis was performing a hymn（赞美诗）to the god Dionysius. Such hymns, called dithyrambs, were usually sung by a lead singer and a chorus. Thespis added a speaking actor. Performances at the annual Dionysian festival soon included plays with three actors as well as the standard hymns. By 449 B.C., the Greeks were giving prizes to the best actor and the best playwright at the festival. A modern word for actor—thespian recognizes the debt today＇s drama owes to Thespis.‎ ‎ Performing in a Greek play required physical strength. Because each play had only three actors, performers had to play several roles. Chorus members both sang and danced. Being in the chorus for the many performances given at a festival was said to be as demanding as competing in the Olympic Games.‎ ‎ The Theater of Dionysius in Athens could hold 20,000 people. Even those in the front rows were quite a distance from the actors. Performers used grand gestures and wore masks so that they could be seen by everyone in their huge audience. Tragic（悲剧的）actors wore long clothes and masks. Comic actors wore short costumes that let them move freely and masks designed to make them look ugly or silly. Sometimes the chorus were dressed up to look like animals.‎ ‎ Another legacy（遗产）of the ancient Greeks is the deus ex machina, or ＂god from the machine＂. If a playwright was having trouble with the plot, he might have a god appear through a trap door（天窗）.The god would rescue the main character and find a solution to any difficult plot situations. Modem writers might not call on gods, but they do sometimes use unlikely ways to end a story. A character or an event that brings a complicated plot to an unlikely conclusion is still called deus ex machina.‎ ‎12. We can learn from Paragraph 1 that .‎ ‎ A. the word ＂thespian＂ means ＂debt＂ in English ‎ B. the Dionysian festival was held once a year ‎ C. there were four actors in early Greek drama ‎ D. the first tragedy was performed in 449B.C ‎13. From the passage we can know .‎ ‎ A. it was not easy to get a chance to perform in the chorus ‎ B. the best actor and the best playwright would be given money ‎ C. the playwright must play a role in the performance ‎ D. the audience sat very close to actors to have a good view ‎14. According to the passage, one difference between early Greek comedies and tragedies is .‎ ‎ A. the actors＇distance from the audience B. the play＇s beginning ‎ C. the number of performers D. the actors＇ clothes ‎15. Deus ex machina is .‎ ‎ A. a kind of tragedy popular with ancient audience ‎ B. a type of character that modern writers often write about ‎ C. a way ancient Greek dramatists used to develop the plot ‎ D. a style of performance first used by ancient Greek actors 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。‎ ‎ Top Poetry Writing Tips Tips 1: Poetry involves work, rest and play.‎ ‎　16　It involves hard work, especially in the early stage when you are deciding on the overall form and tone of the poem, and getting the bones of it onto the page. But writing poetry should be a playful activity, too. Have fun playing around with the language, the ideas and the music inside the poem.‎ Tip 2: 　17　‎ Poetry has been defined as "the best words in their best order". Choose your words carefully for their sounds and meaning. But poetry is also about silence. Just as the white space on the page is needed to shape the pattern of words, so the thoughts that are left unsaid, the pauses, the quiet hints, will add to something extra to your poem. 　18　If you have created enough solid stepping stones in words and thoughts, then the reader will follow you to the end of the poem.‎ Tips 3: 　19　‎ Poets often turn to writing a poem when they experience a strong emotion and have the need to express it. The reading of other people's poetry can also give comfort or a sense that you are not alone in how you are feeling. But be careful not to swamp your poem with abstract emotions and don't tell your readers how to think or feel.‎ Tip 4: Writing poetry can be difficult to start and hard to let go.‎ It is often difficult to know how to start a poem, but the trick is to recognize the beginnings of them, in everyday life. 　20　They can start from remembering a funny conversation that you've overheard at the bus stop; yesterday's nightmare; a secret you've been told; or an interesting postcard that you notice in a shop. If you catch yourself thinking about something for more than a minute or two, that's when you reach for a pen and some paper and starting jotting down(匆匆记下) thoughts, words and phrases.‎ A. Don’t be scared of the gaps that you leave.‎ B. Poetry needs an emotion and a control of it.‎ C. Poetry requires both words and silence.‎ D. Writing a good poem rarely comes easily.‎ E. Poetry sets the scene for readers to step into.‎ F. Poems don’t have to come from exciting events.‎ G. You must write your feelings and views with passion.‎ 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45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A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ How an undergraduate raised her sister and mother alone ‎ For many undergraduates, finding a job or getting 21 education is a trouble at their age.
