A
Teenagers should mind their manners when traveling on a bus or train They will be told to stand up for their elders on public transport —or may lose their right to free travel
Officials in London will declare plans lately to make youngsters sign a courtesy pledge to promise to behave in a respectful manner when travelling in the capital The threepoint pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly pregnant and disabled keep from using offensive or threatening language and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff
The teenagers who refuse or are caught behaving in a loutish manner will have their free travel passes removed The plan will initially affect the 400000 11to15yearolds in London who qualify for free travel cards
During an interview a Conservative insider said The plan corresponds perfectly with the push to create a Big Society It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior on buses and trains for everyone
Mr Johnson said he was determined to deal with the antisocial behavior of a minority of youngsters on public transport When I was a boy I was taught to stand up for those less able to he said Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel which is paid for by Londoners but they have to understand that with that privilege comes responsibility Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away and will have to earn that right back
Teenagers found guilty of a serious violation (违背) of the new behavior rules will lose their travel passes and will have to carry out unpaid community work to earn them back
Mr Johnson is also introducing a two strikes and you're out policy to deal with repeated offenders under which those committing a second serious violation of the rules will lose their free travel rights permanently
21 Which is NOT included in the courtesy pledge
A To offer their seats to those in need
B To stop using aggressive language on public transport
C To show courtesy and politeness to people on board
D To avoid bothering others by talking too much
22 What’s the purpose of carrying out such a plan
A To prevent those ruleviolators having their free travel rights
B To help create a harmonious atmosphere on public transport
C To deal with the antisocial behaviors of most youngsters
D To encourage teenagers to take part in unpaid community work
23 Which is the most severe punishment to ruleviolators
A They will be forbidden to take public transport
B They will have to do unpaid community work
C They will lose free travel rights forever
D They can’t take free transport for months
B
When you think of children’s literature endless picnics with lots of strawberry jam might pop into your mind But British author Roald Dahl went down a different path satisfying children’s curiosity for the dark violent and greedy
To date his books are said to have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide In 2013 he beat JK Rowling to be named the best children’s author of all time And movie adaptations of his works continue to hit the big screen including US director Steven Spielberg’s take on The BFG
Dahl’s books have been successful partly because he wrote from the viewpoint of children and allowed them to lead the stories act on their own and even act against the wishes of adults
And his dark descriptions appeal to young readers For example Charlie and the Chocolate Factory one of Dahl’s famous stories is a black comedy with the naughty children having terrible revenge taken on them In The BFG there is a witching hour which he wrote is a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grownup was in a deep sleep and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves
The darkness came from Dahl’s own life He lost his father young Then his mother sent him away to a boarding school where he was badly beaten He was then a naughty child and sometimes even a troublemaker Dahl would later describe his school years as days of horrors that were filled with rules … and still more rules … to be obeyed His own experience inspired some of his dark fiction
And he was a fighter pilot during World War II Very few people had quite that fierceness He’s one of the few children’s authors who’s actually killed people That is going to have an effect on how you see people and the world
24 JK Rowling and Steven Spielberg are mentioned in the text to stress____________
A main features of Dahl’s books
B achievements that Dahl made
C Dahl’s influence on the film industry
D differences between Dahl and them
25 Dahl’s books appeal to young readers partly because ______
A they contain a lot of dark humor and violence
B they were written from the perspective of children
C they tell stories of Dahl’s own experiences
D they teach children how to act on their own
26 Which of the followings inspired some of his dark stories
A His father’s death during the World War II
B His pride in his experience as a fighter pilot
C The cruel treatment he received from his parents
D The unhappy childhood he spent in the boarding school
C
One great irony about our collective obsession (痴迷) with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways That is to say most of us marry creativity to our concept of self Either we’re creative or we aren’t without much of a middle ground I’m just not a creative person a frustrated student might say in art class while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math giving a comment such as I’m very rightbrained
Dr Pillay a tech entrepreneur (企业家) and an assistant professor at Harvard University has been challenging these ideas He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to believe in yourself In fact you should do the opposite Believe you are someone else
Dr Pillay points to a 2016 study showing how can stereotypes(刻板印象) affect one’s behavior The authors educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar divided their college student subjects into three groups instructing the members of one to think of themselves as romantic poets and the members of another to imagine they were
serious librarians (the third group was the control) The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects including a fork a carrot and a pair of pants and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas whereas those in the seriouslibrarian group had the fewest Meanwhile the researchers found only small differences in students’ creativity levels across academic majors
These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a malleable product of context and perspective as long as he or she feels like a creative person
Dr Pillay argues that besides identifying yourself as creative taking the bold creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful
27 According to the passage who is more likely to unlock his creative potential
A A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet
B An art major who always believes in himself
C A math major who has excellent academic performance
D A history major who works as a librarian on weekends
28 What does the study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on
A The creativity of the college students
B The stereotypes of the college students
C The influence of stereotypes on one’s behavior
D The effect of creativity on one’s behaviour
29 The underlined word in the 4th paragraph probably means________
A stable B controllable C predictable D changeable
30 Which of the followings can be the best title for this passage
A The Impact of Stereotypes
B Pretend to Be Creative
C Ways to Increase Creativity
D To Be a Creative Person

Can just one person change the community You bet In a community every person counts and doing something is not difficult Find out your own talents and interests Then find a need or an issue you really care about 31 Here are just a few ways to help change your community
Clean up the community
Neighbourhood cleanups are often sponsored by local business or schools But if your community doesn’t have a cleanup program get together with friends to organize one 32 Living in a tidy neighbourhood will be its own reward
33
Do you know anyone who is housebound Almost all neighborhoods have a few people who are limited to their homes These people are often elderly and unable to leave their homes to perform simple tasks But they belong to the community too By letting them borrow your legs and eyes you can make them feel included You can do the daily routine for them like shopping or paying bills 34 And that’s what communities are for
Round up some readers
Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America Members might read at home to prepare for discussion or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read 35 The clubs are a good way to welcome newcomers to the community too Newcomers can find new friends with similar interests If your neighborhood doesn’t yet have a club find a few reading enthusiasts and get the ball rolling
A Do the daily routine
B Include the isolated（孤立）
C Once you see what you can accomplish you’ll want to keep going
D Governments try to help these people in need but their money is tight
E Either way can spark lively discussion and encourage people to take action
F You could pick up trash in a larger area twice a year or a smaller area every few months
G Governments provide some of the services these people need but can’t give them friendship

At first I felt a sudden independence and victory I sneered and was turning to run away when I noticedSabrina struggled attempting to rise but failed Instinct taking over I thought I must do something I practically raced down the stairs and touched her shoulder Can I help I asked gently I cannot walk she moaned breathing hard Then she looked up her eyes misted with tears Instantly I helped her into a standing position put her arm around my shoulder and together we hobbled to the nurse's office
Sabrina never harassed me after that We never became friends but from that moment at the foot of the stairs I was convinced that I had earned her respect She still hated being on my team in gym class and flared up sometimes but things were different Her best friend would still pick on me occasionally but Sabrina would shake her head and quietly say Leave her alone And always she would

One great irony about our collective obsession (痴迷) with creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways That is to say most of us marry creativity to our concept of self Either we’re creative or we aren’t without much of a middle ground I’m just not a creative person a frustrated student might say in art class while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math giving a comment such as I’m very rightbrained
Dr Pillay a tech entrepreneur (企业家) and an assistant professor at Harvard University has been challenging these ideas He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to believe in yourself In fact you should do the opposite Believe you are someone else
Dr Pillay points to a 2016 study showing how can stereotypes(刻板印象) affect one’s behavior The authors educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar divided their college student subjects into three groups instructing the members of one to think of themselves as romantic poets and the members of another to imagine they were
serious librarians (the third group was the control) The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects including a fork a carrot and a pair of pants and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas whereas those in the seriouslibrarian group had the fewest Meanwhile the researchers found only small differences in students’ creativity levels across academic majors
These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a malleable product of context and perspective as long as he or she feels like a creative person
Dr Pillay argues that besides identifying yourself as creative taking the bold creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful
27 According to the passage who is more likely to unlock his creative potential
A A physics major who likes to imagine himself as a poet
B An art major who always believes in himself
C A math major who has excellent academic performance
D A history major who works as a librarian on weekends
28 What does the study conducted by Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar focus on
A The creativity of the college students
B The stereotypes of the college students
C The influence of stereotypes on one’s behavior
D The effect of creativity on one’s behaviour
29 The underlined word in the 4th paragraph probably means________
A stable B controllable C predictable D changeable
30 Which of the followings can be the best title for this passage
A The Impact of Stereotypes
B Pretend to Be Creative
C Ways to Increase Creativity
D To Be a Creative Person

Reading clubs are popular all over Europe and North America Members might read at home to prepare for discussion or they might read aloud to each other and talk about what they just read 35 The clubs are a good way to welcome newcomers to the community too Newcomers can find new friends with similar interests If your neighborhood doesn’t yet have a club find a few reading enthusiasts and get the ball rolling

I was less than athletic That day we had played soccer I not only embarrassed myself I also made Sabrina mad basically because she was on my team and we didn’t win So in the shower she threatened me I will meet you after class she sneered(讥笑)
Immediately class was over I slid out the teacher’s entrance and ran to my locker where Susan my older sister was already waiting for me so we could walk home together
What’s up with you she asked noticing the look of panic in my eyes Sabrina I choked We lost the soccer game in gym and it was my fault
Oh Susan simply stated Well she said we will walk down Seventeenth South instead of Harrison It’s out of the way enough that Sabrina won’t find us
Next day in homeroom Sabrina’s best friend passed me a note that stated
At lunch you will pay for running away I didn’t even look up but I accidentally swallowed my gum and felt a severe pain in my chest Mr Mckonkie excused me going to the nurse’s office
Walking down the hall I felt a slight sense of relief and freedom But suddenly someone hit me on the shoulder from behind You little chicken Sabrina’s voice sneered I didn’t turn around I started running down the hall I had no idea what she was going to do and I was really freaked out (吓坏)
Sabrina was now chasing me At last she caught up with me enough to kick the back of my legs trying to knock me down In a panic I swung around to the stairs Sabrina was so close to me by then that my sudden shift in direction knocked her off balance and she toppled down the stairs I stood there watching her fall

At first I felt a sudden independence and victory I sneered and was turning to run away when I noticedSabrina struggled attempting to rise but failed Instinct taking over I thought I must do something I practically raced down the stairs and touched her shoulder Can I help I asked gently I cannot walk she moaned breathing hard Then she looked up her eyes misted with tears Instantly I helped her into a standing position put her arm around my shoulder and together we hobbled to the nurse's office
Sabrina never harassed me after that We never became friends but from that moment at the foot of the stairs I was convinced that I had earned her respect She still hated being on my team in gym class and flared up sometimes but things were different Her best friend would still pick on me occasionally but Sabrina would shake her head and quietly say Leave her alone And always she would

W In this age of email and text messaging conversation can seem unimportant But in fact it’s very important because it connects us facetoface with one another and is the most sociable of all human activities So have you ever wished you were better at making conversation A great talker is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important When they talk to you they make you feel you’re the only person in the room Becoming a good talker requires knowing three things first how to start a conversation second how to keep it going and third how to end it Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice breaker The last thing people want to hear from a stranger is how noisy the party is how terrible the food is or how ugly the people are dressed Praise is always a good ice breaker and will usually be welcomed I also suggest reading the newspapers because it is so important to know what is going on in the world But don’t attempt to be the smartest person in the room No one is expected to know everything Anyway the fact is the best way to attract a person to keep a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful and letting them know that you are interested in talking to them
