sun was splashed everywhere. the sunshine warmed my face, making it comfortable. i started to play my beloved violin. my mind was quite focused, my spirit firm, and my mood entirely free of worry. when i was playing the climax to the piece, a sound from next door got my attention.i was fascinated and had a special idea: “how wonderful if we played together！” i began to play pieces by beethoven with my neighbor, one piece after another. we played together so well that i was curious about how she or he looked. however, i couldnt figure out why the violinist next door never responded when i knocked on the door. i was extremely disappointed.a year later, i took part in a violin competition. at the event, i made a new friend, whose name was rita. this girl, who was my age, was deaf and dumb, but she had played the violin for eight years! i saw rita carefully walk onto the stage. she put the violin between her neck and shoulder and began to perform. “the melody is so familiar！” i said to myself. it was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music. the audience warmly applauded her. what was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbor. it was fate that we should meet and become friends.ritas story made me realize that life is not always sunny or poetic; sometimes there are violent storms and setbacks. however, no matter what you suffer, believe in yourself and strive. you can succeed.语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者的邻居是位聋哑姑娘，但她却能用小提琴演奏出美妙的乐曲。作者通过这个故事告诉我们：有志者，事竟成。1why was there no response every time the author knocked on his

some other important ways we shape our kids particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.for example, we can say to a child “dont run into traffic！” or “stay on the footpath close to me.” in using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and arent scaring themselves with what not to do.actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.what we think, we automatically rehearse.for example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it.when a child is told “dont fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“dont” and “fall off the tree”. that is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.a child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.so it is far better to use “hold on to the tree carefully.”clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.so parents should make their commands positive.“sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “dont you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “how do you think ill feel if you drown？” the changes are small but the difference is obvious.children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。在对孩子做出命令和指示时，父母所用的正面或负面的表达方式会影响孩子的自信心。4positive choice of words helps kids to _.ado things carefullyblearn in different situationscimprove their imaginationdbuild up their

a poster that could be folded up like a map.when the words along the creases (褶痕) began to disappear, we bought additional spelling lists.sometimes my mother tested us, reading words most english teachers wouldnt know how to pronounce, let alone my indianborn mother.when she pointed out the misspelled words, i blamed her accent for my errors!when it was my turn, i approached the microphone and waited for my first word.the announcer was somewhere to my left, a man who pronounced clearly.“barbican，” he said.it seemed that my competitors were secretly complaining about the relative ease of my word.would they laugh at me if i couldnt spell it? would my mother be disappointed in me? that last syllable could go two ways: can or con.which one was right? finally i decided on con.of course, i was eliminated and guided to the comfort room, where parents couldnt enter.inside, recent losers were sitting around a table abundant with junk food.we casually mentioned the words that defeated us, like a special ceremony to welcome each new arrival.then we changed the subject if wed already moved on from missed words and lost opportunities.eventually, i went out and saw my mother.“well，” she

learned, you are not able to remember the information.not being able to retrieve (数据检索) new ideas could happen on a test or even in a conversation.sarah lynn, an educational consultant and teacher, thinks english learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing themselves.she adds that selftesting improves retrieval the ability to use and remember new words.lynn is not the only expert who recommends selftesting.a paper in journal of applied research in memory and cognition says one benefit of testing practice is that it improves retrieval.retrieving information once makes retrieving that information easier in the future.in addition, the paper says, when students test themselves as part of studying, they learn what they do not know.when students know what they do not understand, they can pay attention to overcoming their weaknesses.lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away from what they are studying.then, they should test themselves by thinking about what they have learned.she recommends that learners make themselves write or speak something.lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summarizing it.this will allow learners to test what they know.next time you are studying english, try to test yourself.but do not just assume that you can read something once or twice and fully understand it.even if you highlight important points or take notes in a class, you probably do not fully understand what you learned.after all, olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book.they have to practice swimming or running every day for years.they often compete in races to test their skills.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了sarah lynn提出的自我测试可以提高英语学习者记忆和使用新单词的能力的观点。12whats the common situation faced by english learners?athey fail to come up with new ideas.bthey are not familiar with a certain topic.cthey dont learn as well as they think.dthey dont know how to improve their testtaking skills.解析：选c推理判断题。根据第一段可知，英语学习者中普遍存在的一个问题是他们掌握的知识并没有自己想象中的那么好。故c项正确。13which is the advice given by lynn about selftesting?arecall whats learned with the book closed.bremember whats learned by repetitive reciting.cquestion your teachers on what you doubt bravely.dchallenge yourself to learn from videos.解析：选a推理判断题。根据第三段中的 “lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away from what they are studying.”和“lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summarizing it.”可知，lynn建议人们脱离阅读材料或视频材料进行自我检测，故a项正确。14why are olympic athletes mentioned?ato show how to be successful athletes.bto make people confident of learning.cto warn english learners not to be proud.dto stress the significance of practice.解析：选d推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是“olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book.they have to practice swimming or running every day for years.”可知，作者提及奥运选手是为了说明英语学习也需要练习，即强调(在英语学习中)练习的重要性，故d项正确。15whats the best title for the passage?alearning actually takes effort most.bimprove english by selftesting.cmemorize more new words.dwhat is selftesting?解析：选b标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是本文的主旨句“english learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing
