25、 be the seed that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.2.

Tips:* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if its something you wouldnt normally do.* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always
29、 asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).* Dont let little things in life upset you or be a negative person.

They were from a production company, currently i
35、n the process of filming a movie based in Duan, a rural area a few hours north of Nanning. They tried to explain the plot of the film, but neither mine nor Julias Chinese was good enough to fully understand what they were saying. They then asked if we would be interested in being part of the project
36、. I came to China to experience new things and new opportunities, and being in a movie sounded so exciting. So in less than a second, I jumped at the chance of being in the film. Julia on the other hand was not so enthusiastic. It took 30 minutes to convince her to be part of the film, and she event
37、ually accepted the chance. That afternoon we were taken to the production companys office to meet the director and some of the cast. We all sat together, drinking tea, talking about why Julia and I were in China and about the film. It seemed a little bit like a dream. Ever since I was a small child,
38、 I dreamed of becoming a movie star, but I would never have guessed that my dream would come true, especially now in China. At the end of the talk, we were given scripts(剧本)and had a few photographs taken. We were given the production schedule and ensured that our scenes would only be shot at weeken
39、ds so it wouldnt interfere with our studies. We left the office and were excited about the film, unknowing what filming was actually like. On our first day of filming, we were picked up in the early morning from the university and we drove deep into the countryside. We arrived at the location and wa
40、ited for our scene to be shot. We watched as the other actors and crew went about their work, busy shooting and reshooting the same scene from different angles and perspectives. I never knew how much effort and care went into filming even the shortest and simplest scene. It was then our turn to shoo
41、t, and I was very nervous and very excited. 56. From the first paragraph we know that_. A. the writer was also a German B. Duan is the name of a filmC. neither the writers Chinese nor her classmates was very goodD. the group of people wanted the writer to be the director of the film57. From the pass
42、age we can learn that the writer_. A. was interested in new thingsB. was interested in exciting filmsC. jumped high in the filmD. wasnt as enthusiastic as Julia about the film58. Which of the following is TRUE about the filming?A. Before being part of the film, the writer had to make friends with th
43、e director. B. An actor or actress must recite all the scripts. C. Before being part of the film, one must know what filming is actually like. D.

Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A. A foreign girls adventureB. A foreign girls experience as an “actress”C. A foreign girls college li
45、fe in ChinaD. A foreign girls trip to the countrysideCIt is one of the oldest magic tricks in the booka magician locks a woman in a box, with her head and feet sticking out from either end, and saws (锯) it in half. But when she finally jumps out of the box, the woman is unharmed.This trick was intro
46、duced nearly a century ago. It has been around for some time, but it never goes wrong. Why is it so successful? The answer is simple: the human mind is easily fooled.Our brain processes the world around us based on information that sensory organs, including the eyes, pick up. For instance, when we s
47、ee a cow or a horse standing behind a tree, we automatically “fill in” the part of the animals body that is hidden from our sight. “So the brain is taking this kind of very sparse (匮乏的) information about the world and its generating this rich world by filling in information,” Stephen Macknik, a scie
48、ntist at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona, US, told Science magazine.But since our brains are filling in the gaps, sometimes they get it wrong. They tend to be driven by our previous experiences and we expect things to go as they have in the past even if sometimes they do not.This tenden
49、cy explains magicians success in fooling people with well-known coin tricks. For example, when you see a magician throw a coin up and down in one hand and then fake a coin thrown to the other hand, you would naturally believe that the coin is in the other hand.Apart from the information gaps, magici
50、ans also use the “blind spots” theory when doing their shows.The most well-known experiment demonstrating this theory is called the “invisible gorilla (大猩猩)”, in which volunteers watch a video of two basketball teams. They are asked to count how many times the teams wearing white shirts pass the bal
51、l. In the meantime, a person dressed as a gorilla walks onto the court. But shockingly, half of the viewers dont notice the gorilla, even when they appear to be looking directly at it.Magicians employ this tactic (招数), what they call “misdirection”, in almost every one of their acts. They direct our
52、 attention somewhere else using comedy and music, which can make us miss stuff during the performance.61. The magic trick is mentioned in the first paragraph to _.A. introduce the steps of the magic trickB. prove magic tricks seldom go wrongC. reveal how magic tricks are designedD. get us to wonder
53、how magicians trick the mind62. We can conclude from the passage that the human mind is easily fooled because our brain _.A. may have difficulty remembering what we just sawB. fills in information about the magic worldC. is influenced by our previous experiencesD. processes far more information than
54、 our sensory organs pick up63. What does the underlined word “invisible” in paragraph 7 refer to?A. Unnoticed.B. Unimportant. C. Unpleasant. D. Unprepared.64. During the “invisible gorilla” experiment, people watching the video ignore the “gorilla” because _.A. they dont look directly at it B. they
55、are not interested in itC. they are too focused on counting D. they consider it to be a distraction65. Why do magicians usually use comedy and music when they play magic tricks?A. To get viewers to stay focused on the show.B. To make the show more fun and exciting.C. To draw viewers attention away f
56、rom a secret action.D. To create information gaps between magicians and viewers.DIf I could give todays young people three wishes, they would be: More hugs. More time outside in nature. More belief in their own power to change the world. While most people understand the importance of the first two w
57、ishes, the third one leaves some folks wondering why young peoples belief in their own power is so essential.Lets start with the idea that all of us-especially young people-need heroes. We need them to be our guides on the difficult trail(足迹)we call life and to show us just how far we can go. And we
58、 need heroes today more than ever. Our modern society is terribly confused about the difference between a celebrity and a hero. And the difference: is vital. A celebrity is all about fame(名望)-temporary, superficial fame, usually for qualities that are easy to see: a pretty face, a great dance move.
59、A hero, by contrast, is about character-qualities under the surface that arent visible until they take action.Heroes are all around us. They truly hold our world together, through their unselfish devotion to helping others, teaching children, and protecting the environment. They dont want fame, or g
60、lory; they just want to help. In so many ways, these unsung heroes pilot the boat in which all of us sail.Yet, young people hear a lot more about celebrities than about heroes in the media. The hidden message they get from all this is that their self-worth comes from what they buy-which shoes, which
61、 cell phone-not who they are down inside. What gets lost in this? Young peoples sense of their own potential for heroic qualities-their own power to make a positive difference in the world. Truth is, there is a potential hero, a future difference maker, in every young person. Each of them, from what
62、ever background, is a positive force who can do something. All it takes for that to be true is belief.How do we help young people believe in their own power? The best way is simply to share examples, of other young people who have made a difference.Ryan, age 11, has worked tirelessly to raise money
63、to provide clean drinking water to African villages. When he first heard about the plight(困苦)of African children who died from impure water, Ryan was only six years old. In the next five years, he raised over $500,000-enough to build over 70 water wells.Barbara, age 17, grew up on a farm in Texas. W
64、hen she realized that local farmers were pouring their used motor oil into rivers, causing pollution, she organized the creation of a recycling center for crude(未加提炼的)oil. Her project has grown to include18 recycling centers in Texas.The list could continue. These are but a few examples of young peo
65、ple who have discovered that they can build on their own energy to do something great.66. What is the authors purpose in writing Paragraph 2?A. To give examples of celebrities and heroes around us.B. To discuss the differences between celebrities and heroes.C. To provide definitions of the words “ce
66、lebrity” and “hero”.D. To explain the details about being celebrities and heroes.67. What could be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Heroes make the world go round.B. Heroes must believe in themselves.C. Heroes focus on social welfare programs.D. Heroes promote cooperation between people.68. What can we
67、learn from Paragraph 4?A. Heroes and celebrities are both valued today.B. Society doesnt support the development of heroes.C. The media turn ordinary celebrities into real heroes.D. Young people dont have the belief in their own strength.69. How does the author advance his view that young people hav
68、e the potential to be a hero?A. By defining the qualities that make a young person a hero.B. By contrasting the achievements made by different young people.C. By giving examples of young people who show the qualities of a hero.D. By providing examples of qualities that have made young people famous.
69、70. What is the main idea of the passage?A. More heroes are needed in the world.B. Celebrities are reported too much in the media.C. Adults should become role models for young people.D. Young people should believe in their ability to make a difference.第卷( 共35分) 请同学们将试题答案填写在答题纸上第四部分：写作 (共两节, 满分35分)第一

71、on Great Blasket Island and a decision was made immediately.Great Blasket Island, off the beautiful coast of County Kerry, was abandoned back in 1954 after a decline in population, along with concerns about the difficulty of reaching the island in the event of an emergency.

It wouldn t be powerful enough to run a vacuum cleaner or anything, but it can charge my phone.” This didn
74、t hamper us from enjoying life there. Disconnecting from the rush of everyday life and getting off the grid (电网) made them feel relaxed. They enjoyed cooking on gas cookers and lighting candles for light. Kehoe even steeled herself and got used to taking cold showers. Kehoe often shared pictures and
75、 videos that showed a way of life that may seem foreign and idyllic(悠闲的) when compared to the modern “rat race”.The couples time on the island will terminate in October and Kehoe said they would be “heart-broken”to leave. She said, “I dont think either of us is ready to leave the island; but we will
76、 have to go back to our old life. However, with this break I m sure we can work better after we return to our work.”71.
