A video of the event shows an overwhelmed Flexer being moved to tears as she hears former students who are now adults tell her how much she affected their lives.“Im one of the luckiest people in this world,” Flexer said. “I remember I opened the door to the classroom thinking no one was in there, and it was wall-to-wall people and banners and everything. It was the coolest thing that couldve ever happened in my life. How many times do we really realize the lives weve touched, the manner in which weve touched them, and that these are memories that stay with them for life?”Despite being young when they were taught by Flexer, students easily recalled the heartwarming notes she wrote them on report cards, the ways she helped them overcome shyness and awkwardness, and how she inspired them to future academic success to earn scholarships and advanced degrees.Even though Flexer hadnt seen some of the former students for decades, she instantly remembered the names of every single one there.A scrapbook(剪贴簿) of her career was presented to her as one student after another recalled the effect Flexer had on his or her life.“Ive had many opportunities to move to a school closer to my home, but I said Cole gave me so much in my life that when I retire, I will retire from Cole school and give back whats been given to me.” Flexer said. “My career couldve taken me nowhere that would have made me happier. I think of it as a blessing.”24.

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what become the United States. The bones were unearthed under the floor of a Jamestown church which was discovered in 2010 and is considered as Americas first Protestant church.The Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation at Historic Jamestowne and the Smithsonians Museum of Natural History announced that the settlers held high leadership positions. The men, Rev. Robert Hunt, Capt. Gabriel Archer, Sir Ferdinando Wainman, and Capt. William West, all played a role in the Jamestown settlement. After being lost to history for more than 400 years, the discovery of their remains provides new clues about their life and the importance of religion in the 1600s.“This is a very important discovery,” Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation President James Horn said in a statement. “These men were among the first founders of English America.”About 100 people settled along the James River in what would become the first English settlement in 1607. During that time, settlers in Jamestown were faced with famine and disease. The colony was nearly wiped out due to conflict with Native Americans in the area and with other English settlers.“They lived and died at a hard time in the history of the settlement, when Jamestown almost ended in failure,” Horn said. “The bones of these men help fill in the stories of their lives”.The Smithsonian and the Rediscovery Foundation found the remains in November of 2013. Scientists used 3-D technology to locate the exact gravesites of the men. The team wanted to identify its findings before announcing the discovery. They identified the men using historical records and studied the chemicals of the bones to learn what the men ate and where they came from.Findings from the burials will go on display within weeks at Historic Jamestowne. The site also plans to honor the men and will keep their bones in a safe place for future study.28. The bones found in a Jamestown church_.A. were first discovered in 2010B. have been buried for over four centuriesC. have proved to be a family of fourD. are complete and easy to recognize29The underlined phrase “wiped out” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. supported fully B. developed rapidlyC. destroyed completely D. protected successfully30. What can we learn from Paragraph 6?A. How scientists keep the bones in good shape.B. Why the four leaders were buried in Jamestown.C. Why the four leaders chose to settle in Jamestown.D. How scientists identified the four leaders.31. This text is most probably_.A. a history paper B. a research paperC. a newspaper report D. a warning messageDWhen asked about her childhood in the documentary Alive Inside, a 90-year-old woman with dementia(痴呆) replies, “Ive forgotten so much.” Filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennett then plays music from her past for her. “Thats Louis Armstrong,” she says. “Hes singing When the Saints Go Marching In and it takes me back to my school days.” She then recalls exact details from her life.Why does it happen? Music tends to accompany events that arouse emotions or otherwise make strong impressions on us - such as weddings and graduations. These kinds of experiences form strong memories, and the music and memories likely become intertwined(紧密相连) in our neural(神经的) networks, according to Julene Johnson, a professor at the University of California. Movements, such as dancing, also often pair with our experience of music, which can help form memories. Even many years later, hearing the music can bring back memories of these long-past events.As Alive Inside shows, music has this power even for many people with dementia. Researchers note that the brain areas that process and remember music are typically less damaged by dementia than other areas, and they think it may explain the phenomenon.They also pay attention to elderly people with dementia, especially those in nursing homes. “Its possible those long-term memories are still there,” Johnson says, “but people just have a harder time accessing them because theyre in a strange place and there are not a lot of circumstances in which someone could pull out those memories.”Johnson also notes that music is not universally useful for all people with dementia since there are some people with dementia whose brain area that recognizes music is damaged.Despite musics apparent benefits, few studies have explored its influence on memory recall in people with dementia. “Its really an untapped area,” Johnson says. Petr Janata is one researcher investigating the topic of music and memory. He says that scientists still do not have the answers for why and how music reawakens memories in people with dementia, but this phenomenon is real and its just a matter of time before its fully borne out by scientific research.32. What helps the old woman recall her childhood?A. A film she has watched before.B. A song she has listened to before.C. The voice of her childhood friend.D. The description of her school days.33. What benefit of music is discussed in Paragraph 2?A. It helps make lasting memories.B. It helps cure patients of dementia.C. It helps arouse emotions in special events.D. It helps remember dance movements easily.34. According to Johnson, what should we do for elderly people with dementia?A. Send them to nursing homes for good care.B. Provide familiar environments for them.C. Play lots of classical music to them.D. Talk to them about their past.35. What do we know about the study into music and memory recall in people with dementia?A. It is criticized by Petr Janata.B. It is a ground-breaking study.C. It is supported by solid evidence.D. It applies to all people with dementia.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind._36_. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation(动力) once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone._37_.Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. _38_. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. _39_. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others at home may finally follow your example and perform their own tasks. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people._40_. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spiritsA. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleepB. Knowing how to fight laziness is importantC. To fight family laziness, set an exampleD. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a childE.
