Thomas Hardy was born at Higher Bockhampton, Dorset, on June 2, 1840, where his father worked as a builder. From his father he gained an appreciation of music, and from his mother an appetite for learning and the delights of the countryside about his rural home.
Due to his poor health, Hardy did not start school until he was eight. At 16, Hardy helped his father with architectural drawings and then started to work for architects. Later he moved to London and began writing poems, but his works were rejected by publishers. In 1870, he was sent to work in Cornwall. There he met his future wife Emma Gifford, who encouraged him in his writing.
Hardy published his first novel Desperate Remedies in 1871, to universal disinterest. But the following year Under the Greenwood Tree brought Hardy popular praise for the first time. As with most of his fictional works, this novel incorporated real places around Dorset into the plot, including the village school that Hardy attended. After Under The Greenwood Tree came a serialized novel A Pair of Blue Eves. Once more Hardy drew upon real life, and the novel mirrors his romance with Emma.
Hardy followed this with Far From the Madding Crowd, set in Puddletown, near his birthplace. This novel finally netted Hardy the success that enabled him to give up his architectural practice and concentrate only on writing.
The Hardys lived in London for a short time, then in Yeovil, then in Sturminster Newton, which Hardy described as “idyllic (田园诗般的)”. It was at Sturminster Newton that he penned Return of the Native, one of his most enduring works.
In 1887, Hardy published The Woodlander, a story concerning an honest woodsman in a small village. Then in 1891 one of his best works, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, came out, which was set primarily in the English countryside during the 19th century.
Tess excited interest, but his next work, Jude the Obscure (1896), threw Hardy into a storm of controversy, which made him turn away from fiction and focused on poetry for the rest of his life.
24.What do we know about Hardy
A.He was into drawing as a young man. B.He got fame at first attempt of writing.
C.His writing career started with poems. D.His wife Emma shared his interest.
25.What does the underlined word “incorporated” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Integrated. B.Changed. C.Developed. D.Forced.
26.After which novel was Hardy fully devoted to writing
A.A Pair of Blue Eyes. B.Far From the Madding Crowd.
C.Tess of the d’Urbervilles. D.Jude the Obscure.
27.What is the common element in most of Hardy’s novels
A.Campus life. B.Life in London. C.Marriage life. D.Life in the countryside.

September is an exciting month in every college freshman’s life. For many, it’s the first time that they’ve left home to live in a new environment. But after the hustle and bustle of a few weeks, excitement gives way to a less enjoyable emotion—homesickness.
Homesickness manifests itself in many ways. You may miss mum’s cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. All this becomes a fond memory of the past. Homesickness can be a bitter feeling for many students, especially when faced with the challenges of settling into an unfamiliar environment.
But remember, you’re not alone. According to a recent BBC article, 70 percent of British college students experience homesickness. In this increasingly globalized world in which people migrate to faraway places for a relationship, education or work, homesickness is a feeling shared by many adults.
Homesickness can have similar symptoms to depression and in extreme cases it can develop into a panic attack. As for the term, homesickness or nostalgia wasn’t invented until the 17th century. It was considered a disorder by a Swiss physician, who attributed soldiers’ mental and physical discomfort to their longing to return home, “nostos” from Greek, and the accompanying pain, “algos”.
Studies in recent years, however, have shown that nostalgia may have some benefits to our mental health. After a decade of surveys and researches, Constantine Sedikides, a US social psychologist, found that nostalgia is what makes us human. He explains that nostalgia can resist loneliness, boredom and anxiety. Therefore, it’s necessary for college students to learn some ways to overcome the uncomfortable feeling.
28.From the first two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A.homesickness means a fond memory of the past
B.only a few students will experience homesickness
C.college freshmen usually suffer from homesickness after weeks
D.homesickness is an enjoyable emotion among freshmen
29.The attitude of Sedikides towards homesickness is _________.
A.negative B.supportive C.skeptical D.critical
30.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows
A.Some benefits about homesickness.
B.Other problems in college freshmen’s life.
C.How to make campus life more meaningful.
D.Some tips on how to cope with homesickness.
31.What is the best title for the passage
A.Let’s embrace homesickness
B.How to fit into the college life
C.A harmful emotion—homesickness
D.The disadvantages of homesickness
D
During deep sleep, the brain appears to wash away waste products that increase the risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
A host of new research studies suggest that this stage of sleep-- when dreams are rare and the brain follows a slow, steady beat--can help reduce levels of beta-amyloid and tau protein, two characteristics of the disease. “There is something about this deep sleep that is helping protect you,” says Matthew Walker, a professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley.
The research comes after decades of observations linking poor sleep to long-term problems with memory and thinking, Walker says. “We are now learning that there is a significant relationship between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease.” The strongest evidence involves deep sleep, he says. That’s when body temperature drops and the brain begins to produce slow, rhythmic electrical waves.
So Walker and a team of scientists set out to answer a question: “Can I look into your future and can I accurately estimate how much beta-amyloid you’re going to accumulate over the next two years, the next four years, the next six years, simply on the basis of your sleep tonight ” To find out, Walker’s team studied 32 people in their 70s who had taken part in a sleep study that looked for the slow electrical waves that signal deep sleep. None of the participants had memory problems. The scientists used brain scans to monitor levels of beta-amyloid in each participant for up to six years. And the results, published in the Nov.2 issue of the journal Current Biology, showed people who got less deep sleep had more beta-amyloid.
“We have a specific sleep signature right now that seems to help us better understand where you may sit on the Alzheimer’s risk track in the future”, Walker says. Other studies have found that a lack of deep sleep is associated with higher levels of tau protein, which forms harmful substances inside the brain cells and causes Alzheimer’s disease.
32.Which of the following is related to deep sleep
A.Disordered heart beat. B.Increased waste products.
C.Decreased beta-amyloid and tau protein. D.High frequency of sweet dreams.
33.What do the scientists find from the study
A.There is always a body temperature rise during deep sleep.
B.The level of beta-amyloid remains stable regardless of sleep quality.
C.Deep sleep reduces the possibility of developing Alzheimer’s disease.
D.People with less sleep are more likely to have memory problems.
34.How does tau protein lead to Alzheimer’s disease
A.By producing damaging matter. B.By influencing sleep quality.
C.By slowing electrical waves. D.By reducing brain activity.
35.What’s the best title for the text
A.Good sleep comes from good lifestyle
B.Deep sleep prevents Alzheimer’s disease
C.Scientists found out how to have deep sleep
D.Problems with memory and thinking can be solved

阅读下面短文，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。
Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are expanding. 36 Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For instance, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted, or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation—for now. 37
38 How do you build trust Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-makers—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies, and go shopping—just like their teenagers!
Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 39
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky 40 You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
Remember you can only change your own behavior; your parents are the only ones who can change theirs.
A.You may consider seeking outside help.
B.You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
C.And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
D.Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E.And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
F.It also gives them a chance to clear things up if you’re not on the same page.

The Perfect Gift
Colin walked through the mall with his head down. He couldn’t bear to look at another window display of great Christmas gifts he couldn’t afford. There were only a few days left until Christmas, and Colin still didn’t have a present for his parents. He had only managed to save four dollars and seventeen cents. He counted the money in his pocket and sighed heavily.
“You look upset today, Colin. What is the matter ” Colin’s older sister Whitney asked.
Colin explained his problem to his sister.
“Why don’t you make them something ” Whitney suggested.
“Making presents is for babies,” Colin said. “Mom and Dad won’t like baby stuff.”
“Hey, that is not true. When I was your age, I wrote Mom and Dad a poem for Christmas. They loved it so much that they had it framed (给……做框),” Whitney said.
Colin knew that was true. The poem was hanging in the living room right above the fireplace. Mom and Dad often stood at the fireplace and read the poem to him. But Colin wasn’t good at writing poems, so that didn’t really help him.
“It doesn’t have to be a poem,” Whitney said, “It could be anything that makes them think of you whenever they look at it. That’s why homemade gifts are special — because they make you think of the person who made it.”
“But I don’t know how to make anything Mom and Dad would actually want!” Colin said, kicking a tiny stone across the parking lot.
Whitney opened the car door. “Yes, you do! You’re always drawing those funny little comics. Why don’ t you do a family portrait(全家福) as a comic Mom and Dad would love it.”
“Maybe.”Colin said. He thought about the idea the whole way home. He even pictured how he would draw everyone.
注意1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
For the next two days, Colin drew one picture after another.
