Maybe you’ve heard about the saying, “A bird with a broken wing will never fly as high.” I’m sure that T. J. Ware was made to feel this way almost every day in school.
By high school, T. J. was the most famous troublemaker in his town. He got into lots of fights. He failed almost every exam but was passed on each year to a higher grade level. Teachers didn’t want to have him again the following year.
When I showed up to lead the first training for a leadership retreat, a program designed to have students become more involved in their communities, the community leaders told me about T. J. Ware, I knew that I wasn’t the first to hear about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.
At the start of the retreat, T. J, didn’t readily join the discussion groups and didn’t seem to have much to say. But when his group started a discussion about positive and negative things that had happened at school that year, he joined in and had clear thoughts on those situations, and the other students in his group welcomed his comments. Suddenly, T. J. felt like a part of the group, and soon he was treated like a leader. He was saying things that made a lot of sense, and everyone was listening. By the end of the retreat he had joined the Homeless Project team. The other students on the team were impressed (打动) with his ideas and love for the homeless. They elected T. J. vice-chairman of the team.
Two weeks later, Seventy students led by T. J. collected 2,854 cans of food in just two hours, enough to take care of poor families in the area for 75 days. The local newspaper covered（采访） the event with a full-page article the next day. T. J.’s picture was up there for doing something great.
T.J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest.
5.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Love Leads to Success B. Love Changes Everything
C.A Bird with Broken Wing. D. A Broken Wing Mended
6. What can be learned about T. J. before the author met him?
A. He didn’t have a good teacher. B. He was feeling hurt every day.
C. He would graduate the next year. D. He was not welcome in the school.
7. What is the turning point for T.J. Ware’s change?
A. The leadership retreat. B. The group discussion.
C. The community-wide service project. D. The school record in the food drive.
8.T. J. was treated like a leader by the group members because ________.
A.his words was meaningful B. he was part of the group
C. he joined the leadership retreat D. his deeds were famous at school
C
Most people may think that people who write computer code（编码）must be good at math and logical thinking. However, people who write computer code say that creativity is also an important quality for coding.
Software developers in the American state of California have created a game called Osmo Coding Jam. The game is designed to help children use the creative side of their minds as they learn to code. Children can play the game on iPads. There are many activities they can do by the game.
Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children, nine-year-old Dylan and his 11-year-old sister Meghan, who play the game. According to her, these activities give them important skills for the future. “It’s an analytical skill that the kids are going to need to have as they grow up today” said Dodge.
But the developers of Osmo Coding Jam believe writing code should be more than just an analytical skill. “We want to explore the creative side of coding that I think is often not as explored,” said Felix Hu, an Osmo engineer. Hu added, “The coolest part is that we’re teaching kids how to be creative with code and that’s a really important thing that kids should get comfortable with because coding is creative.”
Hu also sees a growing number of parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs. Tanya Dodge, the mother of Dylan and Meghan, said, “I think you’re going to have to understand at some point the idea of coding will work well in the future.”
Hu also explained that very often kids grow up not understanding how a computer works or just thinking that it’s like a magical machine. He said by breaking it down to a lower level, kids can understand that the computer isn’t as smart as they think it is.
9.Osmo Coding Jam is designed for___________ .
A. training kids’ logical thinking
B. helping kids learn to code fast
C. helping children learn math well
D. helping kids become more creative
10.What does Tanya Dodge think of Osmo Coding Jam?
A. It needs to be improved.
B. It is highly addictive for kids.
C. It is of great help to today’s kids.
D. It is imperfect in training kids’ analytical skill.
11. Which of the following statements is True according to the text?
A. Tanya Dodge agrees that coding is good for children to succeed in future jobs.
B. Many parents doubt whether coding will help children work well in the future.
C. Creativity is not so important as logical thinking for coding.
D. Tanya Dodge has two girls, who play the game, Osmo Coding Jam.
12.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell how to learn to code well.
B. To tell about a new game for kids.
C. To encourage kids to learn to science.
D. To show the importance of creativity.
D
I will never forget the days when I met with my classmates. Early in the morning of our first school day, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know yet. I stood up and looked around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. Can I give you a hug?”
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
After class we shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized（迷住）listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
At the end of the semester（学期）we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“There is only one secret to staying young. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking round who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”
She concluded her speech by courageously （勇敢地）singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
13.Why did the lady want to hug the author?
A.Because she wanted to challenge her professor.
B.Because she wanted to break the ice.（打破沉默）
C.Because she wanted to find a rich husband.
D.Because she wanted to have a college education.
14.Which of the following statements agrees with the text best?
A.The author enjoyed his experience of riding in the “time machine”.
B.The author and the lady soon became close friends.
C.Talented people can easily find opportunities.
D.Old people usually don’t fear death.
15. It can be inferred that Rose is ________.
A. a lively college student B. the author’s girlfriend
C. a young and innocent lady D. an encouraging song
第2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。
We all know that money can’t buy happiness. No matter how much we earn, or how nice our clothing or cars or toys are, none of it will make us happier. 16 and the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury(奢侈) items before we realize this.
So what will bring us happiness? 17 These three things have been proven by surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.
18 We have a human need to be close to other human beings. Having good, supportive friendship, a strong marriage or close and loving relationship with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. So take time to stay with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them.
Positive thinking can lead to happiness too. In fact, optimism and self-confidence are some of the indicators(迹象)of people who lead happy lives. So remember to get into the habit of squashing(排除)all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. 19
The state we enter when we completely focused on the work or task before us will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they are doing mindless work, but when they are absorbed in a mindful challenge.20 Turn off the TV, get outside and do something that truly attract you.You’ve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness. Don’t waste them.
A. Instead of “I can’t” think “I can”.
B. You will have good relationship with people around you.
C. But many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money.
D. Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing.
E. Find work and hobbies that you’re passionate about seriously.
F. The first thing is good relationship.
G. Most people value their personal happiness above money.
