    This is the word "family" written in Chinese "家". It's a pictographic character (象形文字). The "宀" looks like the roof (屋顶) of a house, and the "豖" is a pictographic character for "pig", which is developed from a picture like this:

    Why is the sea salt? Long before we discovered scientific ways of thinking about it, we explained it in a story. Even though the answer isn't scientific, it holds some other truth in it— especially about the human heart.

    Long ago, a poor old couple lived on the coast. One day, an old storyteller came to their village. The old couple gave him a meal. In return, he gave them a coffee mill(磨粉机) and said, "Say, 'Mill, please grind(磨粉)', and it'll make whatever you want. To stop it, say 'Mill, please cease(停止) grinding'. "

    Soon the old couple had a much better life. They'd been happy people, and they didn't need much more. But the young couple next door were never satisfied. When they saw the old couple wearing good clothes and buying good food, they burnt with envy(羡慕). So one day, the young husband went to the old couple's house secretly and heard," Mill, please grind hot chocolate!" He was surprised to see it coming out.

    Then the young couple stole the mill from the old couple. With it, they rode a horse and set off down the coast, where no one would know them. Along the way, the husband showed proudly and asked, "What do you want it to make?" "Oh. I don't know. Why not salt?" the wife said. "Mill, please grind salt!" he said. "It works!" the wife shouted. But then they noticed the salt went everywhere. "Make it stop," the wife said. But the husband didn't know how. "Mill, please stop grinding! Please, no more!" His words didn't work. The mill kept grinding. Finally, the young husband threw the mill into the sea as far as he could.

    And there it's been, for hundreds of years, endlessly grinding salt. That's why the sea is salt.

    (1)、The passage is probably a (n) ______·
    A、folk story B、instruction C、science fiction D、science report
    (2)、Put the things happened to the mill in correct order.

    a. It began to produce salt.

    b. The young husband threw it.

    c. The young couple stole it.

    d. The old couple got it.

    A、b-d-a-c B、b-a-d-c C、d-a-c-b D、d-c-a-b
    (3)、What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to?
    A、The coffee. B、The horse. C、The mill. D、The chocolate.
    (4)、How did the young husband's feelings change?
    A、sorry-sad-excited B、thirsty-excited-afraid C、happy-nervous-proud D、surprised-thankful–happy
    (5)、What does the word "truth" in Paragraph 1 imply(暗指)?
    A、Being patient. B、Working properly. C、Being satisfied. D、Listening carefully.

三、阅读理解 第二节 阅读六选五 (共5小题,每小题2分)

  • 5. 以下是一则短文,请阅读短文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

    A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家).

    B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his ambition.

    C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working.

    D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge, ideas and truth.

    E. On the voyage (航行) of life, he kindled the light of hope for everyone.

    F. Apart from reforming education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote mass education (大众教育).

    Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. But there's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers".

    He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China commemorated (纪念)Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to reflect on his thoughts on education.

    Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, US, in1914. . But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey's education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real-life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He proposed(提出)"unity(融合) of teaching, learning, and reflective acting".

    After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy(文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal Collage(晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at rural schools.

    He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难)children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.

    Maybe Tao's motto is the best explanation for his life, "Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.

四、阅读理解第三节 信息匹配(一共5小题,每小题1.5分)

  • 6. 交流是一门艺术,有效的交流需要一定的技巧。以下图片中的男士在交流中存在不当之处,请你将图片与相关描述 (A-F) 进行匹配。选项中有一项为多余选项。

    A. Do you make eye contact (交流)? When you make eye contact; you're telling someone that you're interested in him or her, that you think the person is important, and that you want to hear what he or she has to say.

    B. Do you talk with toys? Do you play with pens, tap your fingers, or clear your throat when you're talking with someone? These manners might make others uncomfortable, who may take you less seriously.

    C. Do you speak too fast? This is one of the most common communication problems. A slow speed of speech shows the importance of the message you're expressing. Talking to people in an unhurried manner also gives the listener time to get what you have said.

    D. Do you interrupt? People who cut others off in mid-sentence not only send an unkind message, but also they cut themselves out of the communication process. Remember that we can learn more from listening than from talking.

    E. Do you avoid over speak? Aristotle (亚里士多德) said, "Think as the wise do, but speak as the common do." Don't use big or difficult words. If others can't understand every time you open your mouth, and you may feel sorry for using "over speak"

    F. Do you eat while you're talking? The next time you have a conversation with someone, never talk with your mouth full of food. Such behavior makes people awful.
