He had never been to India before; perhaps he came from Persia. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fr

29、our class walk across that stage.But like everyone else in my graduating class,I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse my senior year.We graduates had degrees,but very limited future.Numerous applications had not panned out and I knew that the next day,when my lease（租约）ended,I would no long
30、er have a place to call home.The weeks ahead werent easy.Knowing my small university town couldnt offer me any opportunities,I packed up my car and drove to Southern California to find work.But what I thought would take a week dragged into two,and then four,and 100 job applications later,I found mys
31、elf in the exact same spot as I was before.And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping ever closer.You cant control that sense of coming failure that lingers over you as you hope that everything that happened to you thus far was just a bad dream?That feeling became a constant
32、 in my life.And the most frustrating part was no matter how much I tried,I just couldnt seem to make any progress.So what did I do to maintain my sanity（心智健康）?I wrote.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearera little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.I
33、 channeled(引导) my frustration into a childrens book.Beyond the River was the story of an unlikely hero featuring a little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream.And then one day,without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing worldjust a lot of hard work and perseveranceI was

And as a new study c
38、arried out on mice in the lab has shown, exercise done early in life can reward you in your adult years. A team of researchers at the University of California studied the effects of early exercise on adult physical activity, body mass and eating. They found that early-age exercise in mice has positi
39、ve effects on adult levels of voluntary exercise in addition to reducing body mass. “These results may have an effect on the importance of regular physical education in elementary and middle schools,” said Theodore Garland, a professor of biology, who led the research project. “If kids exercise regu
40、larly through their school years, then they may be more likely to exercise as adults, which could have far-reaching positive effects on human health and well-being.” Although the positive effects of early-life exercise lasted for only one week, it is important to note that one week in the life of a
41、mouse is the same as about nine months for humans. “Our results suggest that any positive effects of early-life exercise on adult exercise will need to be kept up if they are to be long-lasting.” His team of researchers found, too, that all mice that had access to early exercise were lighter in weig
42、ht than non-exercised mice. Garland explained that, in general, exercise will stimulate appetite sooner or later. However, it is possible that certain types of exercise, done for certain periods of time or at certain light levels, might not stimulate appetite much, if at all, at least in some indivi
43、duals. “If we could understand what sorts of exercise these might be, then we might be able to tailor exercise recommendations in a way that would bring the benefits of exercise without increases in appetite, leading to a better chance of weight loss,” he said.59. Which of the following statements i
44、s TRUE according to the article? A. Early-life exercise has life-long positive effects on people. B. The new study on mice mainly focused on how exercise affects appetite. C. More study is needed to better understand the effects of different types of exercise. D. Kids should be encouraged to do exer
45、cise as early as possible to ensure physical health.60. The underlined word “stimulate” in the last-but-one paragraph is closest in meaning to _.A. improve B. decrease C. change D. harm61. What is the article mainly about?A. New ways to fight against being overweight. B. How to do exercise properly.
46、C. The possible risks of doing exercise. D. The positive effects of early-life exercise.CGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as e
47、ver when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins Twinkle, twinkle, little star or remember the stor
48、y of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimmin
49、g, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as Twinkle, twinkle, little star and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exceptio
50、n to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood. The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to lear
51、n a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.62. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 1?A.
52、 Children have a better memory than grown-ups.B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.D. Stories for children are easy to remember.63. The author explains the law of overlearning by .A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general ru
53、lesC. using examplesD. making a comparison64. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is .A. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies65. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It le
54、ads to failure in college exams.B. It increases students learning interest.C. Its possible to result in poor memory.D. Its helpful only in a limited way.DIt was school that kept me going in those dark days. We had moved up to high school. Madam Maryam said no one wanted to teach our class as we aske
55、d so many questions.We liked to be known as the clever girls. My competition with Malka-e-Noor continued. But after the shock of being beaten by her when she first joined our school, I worked hard and had managed to regain my position on the school honours board for first in class. She usually came
56、second and Moniba third. Moniba worked hard as she worried that if she got low marks her male relatives might use it as an excuse to stop her education. I was weakest in maths once I got zero in a test but I worked hard at it. Some parents complained that I was being favoured because my father owned
57、 the school. But people were always surprised that despite our rivalry we were all good friends and not jealous of each other. We also competed in what we call board exams. These would select the best students from private schools in the district. And one year Malka-e-Noor and I got exactly the same
58、 marks. We did another paper at school to see who would get the prize and again we got equal marks. So people wouldnt think I was getting special treatment. My father arranged for us to do papers at another school,but we got the same, so we both got the prize. There was more to school than work. We
59、liked performing plays. I wrote a play based on Romeo and Juliet about corruption(腐败). I played Romeo as a civil servant interviewing people for a job. The first candidate is a beautiful girl, and he asks her very easy questions such as, How many wheels does a bicycle have? When she replies, Two, he
60、 says, You are so brilliant.The next candidate is a man, so Romeo asks him impossible things like, Without leaving your chair tell me the make of the fan in the room above us. How could I possibly know? asks the candidate.Youre telling me you have a PhD and you dont know! replies Romeo. He decides t
61、o give the job to the girl. The girl was played by Moniba, of course, and another classmate Attiya played the part of my assistant to add some salt, and pepper with her witty asides. Everyone laughed a lot. I like to copy people. And in breaks my friends used to beg me to act as our teachers, partic
62、ularly Sir Obaidullah. With all the bad stuff going on in those days, we needed small, small reasons to laugh. The army action at the end of 2007 had not got rid of the Taliban. The army had stayed in Swat and were everywhere in the town, yet Fazlullah still broadcast every day on the radio and thro
63、ughout 2008 the situation was even worse than before with bomb explosion and killings. All we talked about in those days was the army and the Taliban and the feeling that we were caught between the two. Attiya used to tease me by saying, Taliban is good, army not good.I replied, If there is a snake
64、and a lion coming to attack us what would we say is good, the snake or lion?Our school was a shelter from the horrors outside. All the other girls in my class wanted to be doctors, but I decided I wanted to be an inventor and make an anti-Taliban machine （制衡塔利班的机器）which would destroy their guns. But
65、 of course at school we were under threat too, and some of my friends dropped out.66. Why did Moniba worry about her low marks? A. She may lose the chance to study. B. She cant regain her position in class. C. Her male relatives may get upset. D. Madam Maryam didnt want to teach her.67. Who played t

69、of San Francisco in the United States,who is responsible for the universitys admissions from China,said he had had several inquiries from US universities about how to recruit Chinese students on the basis of their gaokao scores.The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Scholastic Apt
70、itude Test (SAT) have long been two musts for students from other counties,including China,to apply to study in the US.USF,a private university in California,started a pilot program to accept Chinese students based on their gaokao scores in 2015.The idea came from USF President Paul Fitzgeralds beli
71、ef that standardized tests like the SAT are not very good predictors of how well students will do at the university.We are aware of the many criticisms that have been made of the gaokao,but it has the advantage of being what educational experts call a criterion-referenced exam: It tests whether stud

74、 2015 fall semester. Students admitted in this way have done exceptionally well in the past academic year,Nel added.The average GPA for all gaokao students is about 3.5 out of 4.For all other students American and non-gaokao international students the average GPA is 3.2,he said.Zhu Zihao gained admi

Meanwhile, we can also experience the life o

Besides, some middle school students just want to follow the trend and show off.Personally, short-term overseas study tours may be a motivation for us to study harder. It can also serve as a test showing whether a student is able to live an independent life abroad or not.（.）
