Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: "Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today — and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week."

A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His

constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.

Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, "But I’m just not creative." "Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?" "Oh, sure."

"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams." The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. "That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?" "Nobody. I do it."

Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website https://www.wendangku.net/doc/f410491308.html, turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both." Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of

it.E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.

Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding — undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism — if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.

The ship was the Endurance , a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.

As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story

TheEndurance , adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s ima gination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.

13．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?

A.Theywere made last week.

D.They recorded a disastrous adventure. 14．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?

A.Frank Hurley.

B.Ernest Shackleton.

C.Robert Falcon Scott.

D.Caroline Alexander.

15．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?

A.Artistic creation.

B.Scientific research.

C.Money making.

D.Treasure hunting.

二、七选五：共5题每题2分共10分

A garden that’s just right for you

Have you ever visited a garden that seemed just right for you, where the atmosphere of the garden appeared to total more than the sum(总和) of its parts? 16. But it doesn’t happen by accident. It starts with looking inside yourself and understanding who you are with respect to the natural world and how you approach the gardening process.

● 17

Some people may think that a garden is no more than plants, flowers, patterns and masses of color. Others are concerned about using gardening methods that require less water and fewer fertilizers (肥料). 18.However, there are a number of other reasons that might explain why you want to garden. One of them comes from our earliest years.

●Recall(回忆)your childhood memories

Our model of what a garden should be often goes back to childhood. Grandma’s rose garden and Dad’s vegetable garden might be good or bad, but that’s not what’s important. 19— how being in those gardens made us feel. If you’d like to build a powerful bond with your garden, start by taking some time to recall the gardens of your youth. 20. Then go outside and work out a plan to translate your childhood memories into your grown-up garden. Have fun.

A. Know why you garden

B. Find a good place for your own garden

C. It’s our experience of the garden that matters

D. It’s delightful to see so many beautiful flowers

E. Still others may simply enjoy being outdoors and close to plants

F. You can produce that kind of magical quality in your own garden, too

G. For each of those gardens, write down the strongest memory you have

The woman sitting at the desk, 32 my madness, sympathetically jumped up. She gave me a 33 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 34 immediately. "What a wonderful lady! " I thought.

Rushing out 35 I called out over my shoulder, "By the way, wha t’s your name?" "I’m Rani," she said. I turned around and saw a 36 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 37 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 38 . Sitting back in the car on the way to the airport, I figured it all out.

Most of us are more focused 64 our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive 65 possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished. Recent 66(study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks 67 (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for 68 while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.

If you find something you love doing outside of the of fice, you’ll be less likely 69(bring) your work home. It could be anything — gardening, cooking, music, sports — but whatever it is, 70 (make) sure it’s a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

If we stay at home, it is comfortable but there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your view and gain knowledges we cannot get from books. Some classmates suggest we can go to places of interest nearby. I thought that it is a good idea. It does not cost many, yet we can still learn a lot.

32．B

【解析】因为作者已经进入Rani的办公室,所以此处表示 "坐在桌旁的女士看到了我的疯狂",故选B项。expect"期待";see"看见";test"测验,检测";avoid"避免"。

37．D

【解析】根据下文的"Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well..."可知,作者亲自见到Rani 之后,发现她本人与电话中的声音传达给自己的信息是很不同的,故作者应是(因吃惊)说不出来话。故选D项。amused"高兴的";worried "担心的";helpless"无助的";speechless"(尤指气得或惊讶得)说不出话的"。

38．B

【解析】根据上文的内容尤其是"What a wonderful lady"可知,B项正确。calm"镇定的";nice"友好的";proud"骄傲的";clever"聪明的"。

【解析】根据上文的内容(如Rani帮助作者预订机票以及祝愿作者旅途愉快)可知,Rani是友好的。故选C项。 forgiveness "宽恕,饶恕";eagerness"渴望";friendliness "友好";skillfulness "有技巧,灵巧"。

M: You are not going to give it up, are you?

W: No way! I’ll never find another apartment like it around here. But I don’t like the idea of paying three months for an empty apartment, either. So, I’m looking for someone to take it while I’m away.

M: Um, let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas. He is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August.

W: Well, that’s exactly when I’ll be away!

【备注】W: I hope I’ve given you a clear idea of the schedule for your London weekend. And, before I finish, let me just give you some advice which should make your stay more enjoyable. Firstly, please do remember to put on some comfortable shoes. London is a big place, and whatever you do, you’ll find yourself doing quite a lot of walking. So, comfortable shoes are really necessary. And secondly, let me ask you to please look after your money. Keep it safe at all times, and then you will not have any unpleasant accident, which could ruin your whole weekend. You’ll find a copy of your weekend’s schedule in your room. Take a look at it, and make sure yo u’re clear about everything. Well, that’s all from me for now. Go and leave your luggage in your rooms. I’ll be seeing you here again in fifteen minutes. Goodbye for now!

61．greater

【解析】考查形容词的比较级。根据语境及下文的"and less importance"可知,此处应用形容词的比较级来修饰importance,故填greater。

62．achievement

【解析】考查词性转换。首先处理最重要的工作以便你能感到一种真实的成就感。介词后接名词,a real sense of achievement意为"一种真实的成就感"。

63．is

【解析】考查主谓一致和时态。把不太重要的事情留到明天通常是可以接受的。分析句子结构可知,该句中的主语为动名词短语"Leaving the less important things until tomorrow",故谓语动词为第三人称单数形式,且全文的基本时态为一般现在时。故填is。

64．on

【解析】考查介词。我们中的大多数人在早上的时候会比我们在一天中的晚些时候更加集中于我们的工作。固定短语be focused on 意为"集中于……"。故填on。

65．as

【解析】考查连词。因此,早点儿开始并且在午饭前要尽可能高效。固定结构as...as possible意为"尽可能……"。

66．studies

【解析】考查名词复数。最新的研究表明,如果我们有规律地短暂休息的话,我们在工作中会变得高效得多。分析句子结构可知,谓语动词为show,为复数形式,且study作"研究,调查"讲时为可数名词,故主语应为复数。故填studies。

67．regularly

【解析】考查词性转换。副词修饰谓语动词take,故填regularly"有规律地"。

68．a

【解析】考查冠词。固定短语for a while意为"一会儿"。

69．to bring

【解析】考查非谓语动词。固定短语be likely to do sth.意为"可能做某事",故填to bring。

70．make

【解析】考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知,but连接两个并列分句。其中第二个分句中,whatever 引导让步状语从句,其后为祈使句充当主句。故填make。

holiday. We can chose

choose between staying at home and take

taking

a trip. If we stay at home, it is

comfortable but

and

there is no need to spend money. But in that case, we will learn little about

^ the world. If we go on a trip abroad, we can broaden your

knowledge

we

should

go to places of interest nearby. I

thought think that it is a good idea. It does not cost many

much

, yet we can still learn a lot.

【解析】第一处:how 改为what。考查宾语从句。分析句子可知,are talking about 后为宾语从句,且从句中do缺少宾语,故将how改为what。

第二处:chose 改为choose。考查情态动词的用法。情态动词后接动词原形。

第三处:take 改为taking。考查非谓语动词。因为and连接两个并列的成分,且介词后接动名词形式,所以将take改为taking。
