He had threatened to do it many times before, but my mother had always managed to prevent him from doing so. This time he insisted on doing it.The latest incident was the last straw. Impulsively (冲动地), I had pushed Mr. Ford, my math teacher, down a flight of steps at school. He broke his arm in two places. Anyway, he had agreed not to accuse me as a favor to my dad, who was in the middle of a tight race for sheriff (执法官) in our town. But my reckless behavior had my dads closest advisor talking.John, hes your son and hes a kid, but he is dragging you down, I heard Jake Hutch tell my dad through his closed office door the night after I pushed Mr. Ford. If you cant make your son obey the rules, how can you make the law obeyed in this town?So, off to Pisgah National Forest I went. I imagined hours of untold abuse at the hands of some strong sergeants (军士). I was determined not to be broken. I was who I was,Nearly every day for six months, a small group of other troubled teens and I carried our 30-pound backpacks on a difficult journey covering about 10 miles. We hiked in a rough wilderness that seemed untouched by civilization.Our sergeants were firm but kind, not frightening as I had imagined. We learned how to make a fire without matches and create a shelter with branches and grass. We learned which plants were safe to eat out in the wild. I felt myself change. I was calm and often reflective. My old, impulsive self was gone.One morning, six months later, my dad came to pick me up. I ran to hug him and saw happiness and love in his eyes.So whats it like being sheriff?. I asked on the ride home.I lost the race, Danny, he said.Im sorry, Dad. I knew my behavior probably had a lot to do with the defeat.Dad squeezed my shoulder and brought me close. As long as I dont ever lose you, Im okay.4The author was finally sent to wilderness because _.Ahe could learn how to survive in the wildBhis teacher insisted on giving him a lessonChe pushed his math teacher down the stairsDhis mother feared that he would be accused5The underlined word reckless in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Aselfish BcarelessCrude Dreasonable6What can we learn about the author from the passage?AHe changed a lot after the camp.BHe was not satisfied with his life in the camp.CHe was still what he used to be after the camp.DHe made enemies with other troubled teens at the camp.7How did the authors father feel at the end of the story?AAnxious.

Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的） phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsungs senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. Thats a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”8What do we know about foldable devices?AThey are too big to fit into the pocket. BThey could bring us much convenience.CThey have become available in January. DThey are a burden to carry around without a bag.9What can we learn from Denisons words?AThe foldable screen has great potential. BThe technology could change other devices too.CThere must be many problems with the technology. DThe production of foldable phones will soon decrease.10What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?Acomplete Bproper Cimperfect Dnormal11What can be a suitable title for the text?ATypes of foldable phones.BThe coming of foldable devices.CPopular devices on the market.DDifficulties in producing foldable phones.DMany of us listen to music while we work, thinking that it will help us to concentrate on the task at hand. And in fact, recent research has found that music can have beneficial effects on creativity. When it comes to other areas of performance, however, the impact of background music is more complicated.The idea that listening to music when working is beneficial to output probably has its roots in the so-called “Mozart effect”. Put simply, this is the finding that spatial rotation performance(空间旋转能力) is increased immediately after listening to the music of Mozart, compared to no sound at all.How sound affects performance has been the topic of research for over 40 years, and is observed through a phenomenon called the irrelevant sound effect. To study irrelevant sound effect, participants in the research are asked to complete a simple task which requires them to recall a series of numbers or letters in the exact order in which they saw them. The tricky thing is being able to do this while ignoring any background noise.Two key characteristics of the irrelevant sound effect are required for its observation. First, the task must require the person to use their rehearsal abilities(复述能力), and second, the sound must contain acoustical variation(声学变化). Where the sound does not vary much acoustically, the performance of the task is much closer to that observed in quiet conditions.The irrelevant sound effect itself comes from attempting to process two sources of ordered information at the same timeone from the task and one from the sound. Unfortunately, only the former is required to successfully perform the recall task, and the effort in ensuring that irrelevant order information from the sound is not processed actually hinders(阻碍) this ability.A similar conflict is also seen when reading while in the presence of lyrical music. In this situation, the two sources of wordsfrom the task and the soundare in conflict. The cost is poorer performance of the task in the presence of music with lyrics.What this all means is that whether having music playing in the background helps or hinders performance depends on the task and on the type of music, and only understanding this relationship will help people maximize their productivity levels.12“Mozart effect” is mentioned to _.Aexplain how music can relax peopleBshow music can improve performanceCadvise people to listen to Mozart musicDstress Mozart music gains wide attention13It can be inferred that participants in the research _.Ahave improved their rehearsal abilityBperform better in the quiet conditionsCignore the background noise successfullyDprefer the music with great sound variation14Paragraph 6 is written to _.Asupport an ideaBmake a contrastCintroduce a topicDdescribe a fact15What is the best title for the passage?AMusic shapes your life BMusic develops your creativityCChoose quiet music for your workDDoes music make you concentrate?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。Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 16 Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test.
