Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur (创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy t hat’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product— CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.
Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
24. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A. She argued with him.
B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention.
D. She chose to consult dentists.
25. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health.
B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies.
D. It is produced t o a dentists’ recipe.
26. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money.
B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out.
D. To beat other candy companies.
27. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story?

C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied.

The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her, “How do you hear?” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears?” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing; it is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.
It’s important to hear what people say accurately.As Mark Twain said, “The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫).”If you miss something or you’re not sure you’ve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you’re not evaluating, just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don’t say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?
Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person apparently feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.
28. What’s the writer’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?
A. To give an example of wise words.
B. To introduce a world-famous musician.
C. To help explain the meaning of listening.
D. To encourage us to fight against disability.
29. What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?
A. It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.
B. People should know words can be used in many different ways.
C. English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.
D. Slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.
30. What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?
A. Match.
B. Prove.
C. Describe.
D. Analyze.
31. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Speak While Y ou Listen
B. Listen Beyond Words
C. Read Between Lines
D. Think As Y ou Talk
D
Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s possible for yeast (酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.
“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate the craft b eer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment that would go up on India’s
moonlander, we thought we could combine our hobby with the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”
The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation (发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.
This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space, and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India, in March.
Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon, as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品)behave in different environments.
32.How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment?
A.Excited.
B. Nervous.
C. Confident.
D. Casual.
33.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The mixing of two stages.
B. Adding yeast on Earth.
C. The preparation work on Earth.
D. Fermentation and carbonation.
34. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A. It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B. It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.
C. It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.
D. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
35. What does the author think of the students’ idea?
A. It seems like a pipe dream.
B. It’s extremely complicated.
C. It’s meaningful and hopeful.
D. It’s creative but impractical.

School Phobia
School phobia is a type of illness which causes the students, typically between the ages of 8-13, to be afraid to go to school. Symptoms include stomachaches, tiredness, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.
36 Most commonly it is the result of separation anxiety, but it can also be caused by different kinds of stress. A child who has recently moved, suffered a loss, or gone through a parents’ divorce may develop school phobia, and phobias can also develop in response to an
unrecognized learning disability, and poor self-image.
37 He or she may become physically ill when ordered to school, or pretend to be sick to avoid going. When the child arrives at school, he or she may run away, or develop behavioral problems in class. When school is discussed, the child can become impatient, upset or angry.
Many techniques can be used to manage school phobia. But research suggests that much more effective treatment is required for school phobia to prevent problems developing in later life. Children with this condition usually benefit from seeing a psychologist or doctor. 38 As soon as a school phobia is identified, parents should take action too. Like other phobias, school phobia gets worse if it is left untreated, and it can prevent the child from succeeding in school. 39 If bullying (欺负) is a cause, for example, the bullying situation should be solved. A teacher can meet the child at the door and take him or her to class, and provide support so that the child feels a friendly adult is always available.
Changes at home can include supportive language from parents, along with support like assistance with homework. If a child lacks confidence, parents may encourage the child to take up new hobbies. 40 Parents might also talk to their children about their own fears of school and how they got over them, and their own enjoyment of school and school-like activities.
A. It will help children to feel good about themselves.
B. But a child with phobia refuses to accept adults’ support.
C. A child with school phobia usually refuses to go to school.
D. Adjustments can be made at home and in the classroom to help.
E. This common phobia is associated with a wide variety of causes.
F. The most effective treatment is to help the child have a sense of success.
G. And the assistance can help parents and school officials support the child.

If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 55

For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely 56 for them to be able to complete their college education.

How are you doing recently? In order to spread Chinese food culture, Chengdu is going to host the Fifth International Chinese Food Festival in two weeks. I am writing to invite you to attend it with me.

Looking forward to your reply.

W: Who wrote this? It’s completely wrong!
M: What do you mean?
W: Just look at it! The accident wasn’t on Thursday! I t was on Tuesday! The accident happened at lunchtime! Don’t you remember what happened? It was a girl, not a boy, lying on the road, and she hadn’t tripped over anything. She had just slipped because the road was wet from the rain.
M: OK. Everything about the truck and the car is right?
W: Why do you think there was a truck? It was a minibus, and the minibus driver was fine. The person who flew out of the minibus was a passenger sitting at the front.
M: So it was the passenger on the minibus who was injured. I guess the information about the car is correct?
W: It is, but I think that is personal information and we shouldn’t print it in the newspaper, so cancel the entire paragraph.
M: OK.

W: Would you please describe the nature of your farm?
M: Sure.I mainly grow corn and wheat for feed crops. I do only grow cotton when the cotton prices are better. W: How many employees do you have?
M: 10 together. Seven of them are part-time employees.
W: do you pay them hourly or are they salaried?
M:I pay them by the hour because sometimes they only work a few hours and other times they work many hours. Therefore, it wouldn’t be fair for them to get a weekly or monthly salary year round.
W: How many hours do you work as the owner?
M: In the winter I work eight hours a day, but in the spring, summer and autumn I work 12 to 13 hours a day. Many times our work depends on the weather. For example, if the crops need water and it hasn’t rained, the employees must irrigate the fields which can take many hours. At other times, I spend my time in checking my fields for pests, and if I find any,I have to apply farm chemicals. If my machinery breaks down, I have to call in the repairman to fix it. Of course, I must also make sure any crops get harvested when they are ready.
W：If you were to start a new farm, what changes would you make?
M: I wouldn’t make many changes. Right now my farm is very successful.
