A
After finishing my teaching for a school year, I thought that I should go back to Montreal, Quebec, my hometown for a visit. My main goal was to relax in preparation for the challenges of my retirement in the coming year.
Through my stay in Montreal, I met lots of Chinese who are struggling to succeed and then lead a better life in Canada.
Some travelled thousands of miles to get knowledge. When I spoke with some of them about the major barrier they had to face after they arrived in Canada, they all talked about the two official languages of Canada. But I was impressed by their ability to express their ideas while switching between English and French.
Almost all of those people said they often felt homesick. They miss their families and friends. Though Montreal has lots of Chinese restaurants, they long for a home-cooked meal.
I met some tourists who were trying to realize their childhood dreams of experiencing the life in a developed country. When I asked them if Montreal had lived up to their expectations, they hesitated. They said that reality never agrees with fantasies. However, they were glad to have the opportunity to visit Montreal and didn’t regret taking the trip.
Not all the Chinese people I met were happy. I once met a young lady who met with a gentleman through the Internet. However, to her disappointment, he disappeared after he promised to marry her in Montreal.
I was served by another Chinese person who could not handle the challenges of studying in an English environment and ended up working in a restaurant with minimum pay.
Exploring different parts of the world, without any doubt, is an enriching experience. However, one should be realistic when it comes to leaving his hometown to set up a new life in a foreign country. One should take the time to examine the advantages and the shortcomings of the venture before they decide to chase an uncertain dream of achieving success or leading a better life.
21. The writer went to her hometown to ______.
A. meet her old friends B. study a new language
C. go on with her teaching D. prepare for her retirement life
22. The main barrier for some Chinese to get knowledge in Canada is ______.
A. food B. homesickness C. language D. income
23. The writer thinks that ______.
A. overseas Chinese are good at communication in Canada
B. the trip to Montreal is a good chance for people to study
C. overseas Chinese feel disappointed at their life in Canada
D. people should think carefully before chasing the dreams abroad
24. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Improving Life Skills in Canada
B. Exploring Different Parts of Canada
C. Struggling for a Better Life in Canada
D. Going to Canada--Your Ideal Destination
B
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don't come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and
that's just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it'll require even more time, time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you're hot willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
25. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
|
A. the importance of success |
B. the meaning of success |
|
C. the standards of success |
D. the reasons for success |
26. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
|
A. work makes one feel pain |
B. one gives up his work easily |
|
C. one tends to enjoy his work |
D. it takes a lot of time to succeed |
27. What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A. Successful people like to show their great skills.
B. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
28. What is the main theme of the passage?
A. Having a goal is vital to success.
B. One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C. Being good is different from being great.
D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
C
Old Fossils
Scientists have found what they think is probably the oldest fossil on Earth, a remnant of life from 3.7 billion years ago when Earth’s skies were orange and its oceans green.
In a newly melted part of Greenland, Australian scientists found the leftover structure from a community of microbes(微生物) that lived on an ancient seafloor. Based on their analysis of the fossils, the researchers determined that they are 220 million years older than those discovered in Western Australia, which were 3.48 billion years old.
The discovery shows life may have formed quicker and more easily than once thought, about half a billion years after Earth formed. And that may also give hope for life forming elsewhere, such as Mars, said study co-author Martin VanKranendonk of the University of New South Wales and director of the Australian Center for Astrobiology. “It gives us an idea how our planet evolved and how life gained a foothold,” VanKranendonk said.
Scientists had thought it would take at least half a billion years for life to form after the molten Earth started to cool a bit, but this shows it could have happened quicker, he said. That’s because the newly found fossil is far too complex to have developed soon after the planet’s first life forms, he said.
In an outcrop of rocks that used to be covered with ice and snow which melted after an exceptionally warm spring, the Australian team found stromatolites(叠层石), which are layered structures that are often produced by a community of microbes. The stromatolites were about 1 to 4 centimeters high.
“It is like the house left behind made by the microbes,” VanKranendonk said. “Scientists used the layers of ash from volcanoes and tiny zircon(锆石) with uranium and estimated that they date back to 3.7 billion years ago.”
The dating seems about right, said Abigail Allwood, a NASA astrobiologist who found the previous oldest fossil, from 3.48 billion years ago, in Australia. But Allwood said she is not completely convinced that what VanKranendonk’s team found once was alive. She said the evidence wasn’t conclusive enough that it was life and not a geologic quirk(地质巧合). “It would be nice to have more evidence, but in these rocks that’s a lot to ask,” Allwood said in an email.
29. The underlined words “gained a foothold” in Paragraph 3 mean______.
A. continued B. changed C. increased D. started
30. We can learn from Paragraph 4______.
A. the fossil appeared soon after the birth of the earth
B. the fossil formed soon after the earth’s first life
C. life formed earlier than the newly found fossil
D. life appeared about half a billion years ago
31. What is Abigail Allwood’s attitude towards the newly found fossil?
A. Neutral. B. Sceptical. C. Objective. D. Supportive.
32. According to the passage, ______.
A. the previous fossils are a geologic quirk
B. the previous fossils are made up of stromatolites
C. the newly found fossils come from Western Australia
D. the newly found fossils have a history of 3.7 billion years
D
Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? You don’t have a clue where your car is after shopping. Then you start walking around clicking on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be annoying, especially on a hot sunny day.
No, you needn’t install(安装) an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That’s too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly fee to use it.
But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based company has created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, which could be exactly what you’re looking for!
Ø What is it?
It’s called TrackR. It is a state-of-the-art tracking device the size of a coin. It’s changing the way we keep track of the important things in our lives.
Ø How does it work?
It’s easy! Install the free TrackR app on your smartphone, connect the app to your device and you’re ready to go! Simply attach TrackR to whatever you want to keep an eye on. The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.
You can attach it to your keys, briefcase, wallet, your latest tech gadgets and anything else you don’t want to lose. Then use the TrackR app to locate your missing item in seconds.
If you forget where you have parked your car, pull out your smartphone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “find device” button on the screen and the app will tell you the exact spot of the last known location of the TrackR.
Ø What else can I do with TrackR?
The device is small and unnoticeable enough that you can attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar, and the issue of searching for them when they run away to nearby places will be over! You’ll never waste a minute searching the whole house for it.
TrackR even comes with a double-sided glue so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!
Ø How much does it cost?
You’re probably thinking that this device is very expensive. False! TrackR only costs $29! That’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, isn’t it?
Ø Where can I buy one?
You can buy it directly from the company’s website by clicking here https://buy.thetrackr.co/gu/special-offers/15/ .
33. From the passage, we learn that TrackR can ______.
A. help you locate your important thingsB. track your wallet through GPS system
C. work better after you pay monthly fee D. take good care of your pets at home
34. This passage is mainly developed by ______.
A. answering questions B. providing statistics
C. listing advantages D. making comparisons
35. Where is this passage most likely taken from?
A. A research report. B. A website. C. A personal blog. D. A journal.

Reducing Test Anxiety
As students throughout the state prepare to take their tests, they will feel some added anxiety. Some of that anxiety is good, but too much can have a bad effect on test performance. Here are some methods to reduce test anxiety.
36 This is useful for two reasons: A) You'll be less nervous and B) you'll do better. A recent study at UC Berkeley showed that
students who were tested on information they just learned actually did better than those who were asked to document what they were learning. 37 Then you can grade it for each other and harvest the benefits. The more real it feels, the more prepared you'll feel and be when the test day arrives.
Review that morning. 38 You want to be as calm and relaxed as possible and reviewing right before the test will do that. What's more, you'll regain the information. So on your way to class, whip out those flashcards for the last time.
Consider listening to classical music. Though it doesn't make you smarter like some people believe, it can improve your memory. If you want to get super specific, listen to music that’s 60 BPM. 39
Do the easy questions first. An easy way to get stressed out and lose your cool is to focus on questions you don't know the answers to. 40 . Don't fall into the trap move on to what you do know.
Then you can hit the hard stuff dead on.
A. Take a pre-test.
B. Ask for Help from your deskmate.
C. That’s when the benefits will be highest.
D. Stay up late and drink as much coffee as possible.
E. So write up a pre-test and have your friend do the same!
F. This is good for the exact same two reasons as stated in the previous step.
G. You start worrying about the clock and thinkin
g about how you didn't study enough.

In January 2013, Sam Bloom was on a family holiday with husband, Cameron, and their three young boys. After a morning 41 in the sea they discovered the hotel had a rooftop platform and all went up the 42 to enjoy their surroundings. Suddenly Cameron heard a tremendous crash. He 43 around and Sam was gone—as was the safety rail(栏杆) she had been 44 against. Sam fell into a deep depression after the fall from the roof left her paralyzed(瘫痪的) from the chest down. Doctors said she could never walk again.
Three months later, as they were heading home from Sam’s parents, Noah, her middle son, 45 a baby bird that had fallen to the ground. So they 46 it up and took it home. They called her Penguin because she looked like a penguin. She was just very 47 at two or three weeks old. She would have to be fed every two hours, but they decided rescuing this little bird would be a 48 thing to do together.
Penguin brought joy back to the family. Sam loved having Penguin around because she was like 49 . Penguin would rest on Sam’s lap or on her shoulder. Sam could finally 50 herself without feeling guilty—she would talk to Penguin; she would 51 to her behind Cameron and tell her how she was feeling. Some mornings Penguin would just run down the hall and jump up into bed, 52 her way into the quilt and then roll over and sleep. Penguin had some 53 —she was not toilet-trained, and the house got quite messy. As she grew older, Penguin did sleep outside, but at six o’clock in the morning she’d be at the door, with a special 54 that meant, “Let me in!”
As her 55 grew, Penguin stayed away for longer periods. When she was a year old, she disappeared for six weeks. But on the little son’s 13th birthday, Penguin made a 56 visit. A year ago, she left again and hasn’t been seen 57 . The bird has found her freedom and Sam has a freedom of her own. Sam made a new 58 —she took up boating and even made the Australian Para-boating Team. She is out of the 59 and in the water and back in nature.
Over the two years, Cameron took about 14,000 pictures of Penguin, which have been collected in a book called Penguin Bloom. Penguin rescued the family as much as they rescued her. Sam got 60 it, thanks to her family, exercise and yes, the friendship of a bird. Angels come in all shapes and sizes!
