Think of yourself as an extension of our team where you will be writing main Youngzine articles.‎ We will work with you and after the first 1-2 articles, most of our young writers are up and running on their own. We will be selecting 4-6 young writers to join our team this year and will guide you through the experience. Does this sound like a challenge you are up to? First, let’s answer some questions that you might have.‎ How Old Should I Be?‎ Most of our Young Editors are typically 13-17 years of age. You will be writing on politics, science, environment and other current events which will require you to read and understand the background material. If you have strong writing skills, are part of your school newspaper or see yourself as a future journalist, this is for you!‎ - 17 -‎ How Long Is the Program?‎ It is a six-week program from July to mid-August, where you will be writing one article a week. We understand summer is also a time for vacations, and we are flexible as long as you inform us in advance.‎ What Do We Expect from a Young Editor?‎ Good writing skills and the ability to communicate your thoughts clearly are most important since you are writing for other young readers. We use current events to explain the underlying context or a concept, so you will need to do some research. It is important that articles be unprejudiced and state all points of view of an issue. And of course, your articles have to be original—no copying! We will send you guidelines if you are selected. ‎ A few benefits of being a summer writer:‎ Ø Your work will be seen by young readers all over the world.‎ Ø Your knowledge of topics deepens, broadens and widens as you research and write articles.‎ Is that reason enough to want to join? Send us an email to editor@youngzine.org. Please contact us by June 10 if you are interested.‎ ‎21. What do we know about the summer program?‎ A. It is a vacation-free program. ‎ B. It lasts for almost three months.‎ C. It is mainly designed for college students. ‎ D. It asks participants to finish one article per week.‎ ‎22. The summer program expects the editors who .‎ A. understand all points of a concept ‎ B. express their thoughts effectively C. are curious about research methods ‎ D. have broad knowledge of many topics ‎23. The passage intends to .‎ A. hold a writing activity ‎ B. help sharpen writing skills C. call for summer young writers ‎ - 17 -‎ D. clarify the qualities of editors B ‎ Stuttering(口吃) has nothing to do with intelligence. I know this because I stutter. If it takes me a while longer to say a word, it's not because I can't remember the word; it's because the neural(神经的) pathway that transforms words in my head into sounds in my mouth is wired differently. And differences, of course, are the best way to get negative attention in our society. Taking extra time to get my words out can surely be frustrating, but that's nothing compared to the misery of dealing with people's reactions.‎ ‎ Almost all children who stutter are discouraged from speaking in one way or another. It's usually not as direct as someone walking up to them and saying, “Hey, stuttering kid! Keep your mouth shut!” But when your voice causes adults and peers to snicker(窃笑)or roll their eyes, it's pretty discouraging.‎ ‎ Growing up, I learned to avoid speaking whenever possible. I hated what came out of my mouth, full of awkward breaks and pauses. I figured whatever future I had, it probably involved a vow of silence.‎ ‎ Today I'm a touring author and comedian. It took me 30-something years to get over stuttering. Did I stop stuttering? No! I couldn't stop if I wanted to. But I stopped wanting to stop. Instead of wasting all my time and energy trying to meet unattainable standards, I learned that it's OK to stutter. And I learned by example. I attended the National Stuttering Association conference and met all kinds of people who stutter----people who didn't hate themselves, who didn't silence themselves. They stuttered, and they were OK with it! I remember watching them and thinking, “That's who I want to be!”‎ There's a popular saying in comedy: "Your weakness is your strength.” When I first entered my local open-mic scene, I was quickly met with some “smart” guys looking to score a cheap laugh at my expense. I remember introducing myself to one comedian and stuttering on my name, as I usually do. Eager to demonstrate his smartness, he replied, “Is that Nina with five Ns” “No,” I said, “it's Nina with two Ns!” Just like that, I had created a joke as the result of someone making fun of my stutter.‎ ‎ To this day, whenever I need inspiration for a new joke, I just think about all the ridiculous comments I get from non-stuttering people. It's a comedy gold mine!‎ - 17 -‎ ‎24. It takes the author longer to say a word because she has .‎ A. a comparatively low IQ B. trouble in organizing ideas C. a relatively small brain D. problems in her neural system ‎25. What annoys the author most about her stuttering is .‎ A. the unfriendly reactions of others B. the difficulty in memorising words C. her unpromising future as a stutterer D. her embarrassing pauses during talks ‎26. The author got over stuttering by .‎ A. getting help from non-stutterers B. adjusting her attitude towards it C. telling herself constantly to stop it D. silencing herself whenever possible ‎27. Paragraph 5 is mainly about the author's .‎ A. success as a comedian B. respect for other comedians C. resistance to others' strength D. acceptance of her imperfection C More than half the young children and teenagers in China are nearsighted, according to a survey by top government agencies, which called for intensified efforts to prevent and control the condition.‎ The survey, which was conducted last year, found that 8 of 10 senior middle school students were nearsighted, compared with 71.6 percent in junior middle school, 36 percent in primary school and 14 percent of 6-year-olds in kindergarten. Overall, 53.6 percent were nearsighted. The prevalence(流行程度) of a high degree of myopia(近视) also became alarming as the percentage of senior students in high school, who wear glasses stronger than six diopters (屈光度), has increased to 21.9 percent. Up to 80 percent of the country’s young adults suffer from nearsightedness, according to a report in the medical journal Lancet. In contrast, the overall rate of myopia in the UK is about 20-30 percent. If you walk the streets of China today, you'll quickly notice that most young people wear glasses. In Shanghai, for instance, 86 percent of high school students suffer from myopia, or nearsightedness, according to Xinhua News Agency.‎ The growing prevalence of myopia is not only a Chinese problem, but it is an especially East Asian one. According to a study published in The Lancet medical journal in 2012, by Ian Morgan, of the Australian National University, South Korea leads the pack, with 96 percent of young adults (below the age 20) having myopia; and the rate for Seoul is even higher. In Singapore, the figure is 82 percent. To say that Asia is having an eye problem is an understatement.‎ - 17 -‎ Several factors are associated with the high rate of nearsightedness in China's children and teenagers, including lack of outdoor physical activity, lack of adequate sleep due to heavy work and excessive use of electronics products. And some biologists compared Singaporeans living in Singapore to those living in Australia. They found that 29 percent of the Singaporean students had myopia compared with just 3 percent in Sydney. The main correlation was once again, time spent outside.‎ ‎“The big difference was the Chinese children in Australia were outdoors a lot more than their matched peers in Singapore,” says Ian Morgan, a retired biologist at Australian National University, who coauthored the 2008 study. “This was the only thing that fit with the huge difference in prevalence.”‎ ‎28. From paragraph 2, according to the survey we can know that ____________.‎ A. the rate of myopia in Shanghai is the highest B. the rate of myopia in the UK is higher than that in China C. the rate of junior middle school students who suffer from myopia is the highest D. the rate of senior middle school students who suffer from myopia is the highest ‎29. Which of the following is not the reason associated with the high rate of myopia in China?‎ A. Time of reading books. ‎ B. Excessive use of electronics products.‎ C. Lack of outdoor physical activity. ‎ D. Lack of adequate sleep. ‎ ‎30. The author writes the passage to __________.‎ A. introduce some methods to protect our eyes B. tell us why so many people have an eye problem ‎ C. compare the myopia figures of different countries ‎ D. call on everyone to pay attention to the myopia among the young people ‎ ‎31. Where is the passage most probably from?‎ A. A literary essay. B. A historical novel.‎ C. A science report. D. A travel magazine.‎ D The Mars 2020 rover, which sets off for the Red Planet this year, will not only search for traces ‎ - 17 -‎ of ancient life, but pave the way for future human missions, NASA scientists said on Friday as they introduced the vehicle.‎ The rover has been constructed in a large, sterile room at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, where its driving equipment was given its first successful test last week.‎ Shown to invited journalists on Friday, it is scheduled to leave Earth in July 2020 from Florida’s Cape Canaveral, becoming the fifth US rover to land on Mars seven months later in February.‎ ‎“It's designed to seek the signs of life, so we’re carrying a number of different instruments that will help us understand the geological and chemical context on the surface of Mars, "deputy mission leader Matt Wallace told AFP.‎ Among the devices on board the rover are 23 cameras, two "ears" that will allow it to listen to Martian winds, and lasers used for chemical analysis.‎ Approximately the size of a car, the rover is equipped with six wheels like the former US rover, Curiosity, allowing it to travel along rocky land.‎ Speed is not a priority for the vehicle, which only has to cover around 200 yards (180 metres) per Martian day ---approximately the same as a day on Earth.‎ Fuelled by a tiny nuclear reactor, Mars 2020 has seven-foot-long (2 metres) articulated arms and a drill to crack open rock samples in locations scientists identify as potentially suitable for life.‎ ‎“We are hoping to move fairly quickly. We'd like to see the next mission launched in 2026 which will get to Mars and pick up the samples, put them into a rocket and finally bring them back to the Earth,” said Wallace.‎ NASA’s Mars 2020 will remain active for at least one Martian year, which is around two years on Earth.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined part "pave the way" in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Making preparations. ‎ B. Finding suitable landing sites. ‎ C. Setting up research centers. ‎ D. Constructing roads.‎ - 17 -‎ ‎33. What can we know about the Mars 2020 rover?‎ A. It looks much like a drill with six wheels.‎ B. It is a copied one of the US rover Curiosity.‎ C. It is solar-powered and can crack open rock samples.‎ D. It is able to perform different tasks on Mars in search of the signs of life.‎ ‎34. If you search the passage on the website of China Daily, where can you probably find it?‎ A. Lifestyle B. World C. Regional D. Culture ‎35. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The Mars 2020 rover has successfully passed its first driving test.‎ B. NASA is planning a new round of space exploration.‎ C. Future human missions on Mars are on the way.‎ D. A new rover will be launched to carry out scientific research on Mars.‎ 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。‎ At one point or another, you’ve probably heard someone speak with confidence on a topic that they actually know almost nothing about. This phenomenon is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, which refers to the finding that people who are relatively unskilled or unknowledgeable in a particular subject sometimes tend to overestimate their knowledge and abilities. ‎ In a set of studies, researchers Justin Kruger and David Dunning asked participants to complete tests of their skills in a particular field. Then, participants were asked to guess how well they had done on the test. 36 This effect was most pronounced among participants with the lowest scores on the test. ‎ David Dunning explains that “the knowledge and intelligence that are required to be good at a task are often the same qualities needed to recognize that one is not good at that task.” In other words, if someone knows very little about a particular topic, they may not even know enough about the topic to realize that their knowledge is limited. Importantly, someone may be highly skilled in one area, but be influenced by the Dunning-Kruger effect in another field. 37 ‎ If people who know very little about a topic think they’re experts, what do experts think of themselves? Interestingly, Dunning and Kruger found that although experts typically guessed their performance was above average, they didn’t realize quite how well they had done. They often make a different mistake: 38 ‎ - 17 -‎ What can people do to overcome the effect? Dunning and Kruger once had some of the participants take a logic test and then complete a short training session on logical reasoning. After the training, the participants were asked to assess how they’d done on the previous test. 39 ‎ Afterward, the participants who scored in the bottom 25 percent lowered their estimate of how well they thought they had done on the initial test. In other words, one way to overcome the effect may be to learn more about a topic. ‎ The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that we may not always know as much as we think we do.‎ ‎ 40 However, by challenging ourselves to learn more and by reading about opposing views, we can work to overcome the effect. ‎ A. Researchers found that the training made a difference. ‎ B. They assume that everyone else is knowledgeable, too. ‎ C. This happens when people don’t know much about a topic. ‎ D. All of them had a more accurate view of their performance.‎ E. They found that participants tended to overestimate their abilities. ‎ F. This means that everyone can potentially be affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect.‎ G. In some areas, we may not know enough about a topic to realize that we are unskilled.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用(共三节，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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Dad is a liar（说谎者）, definitely.
