6、, a cup of tea on the table and old songs from my computer. It was a special pleasure to have such a _13_ day after weeks of hiking, snowboarding and going crazy. “Hi, dad! Want some orange juice, graybeard?” Coyote yelled (叫喊) to me much louder than 14 .“No, just bring me some chips!” I shouted bac

7、k. One time, when I misheard what he said three times in a row, he 15 that I had become too old and started to hear worse. Since then, yelling at me has become a kind of family joke. Pushing everything to the limit was the basis of Coyotes character. On the one hand, it helped him to achieve tasks h

8、e had to do on his own, and he did great, making me proud of him. On the other hand, this brought him 16 , as he did not know when to stop. At such moments, I would behave super-fatherly, and give him advice and warnings that he usually ignored (忽視). When he wore a green haircut, I would try to conv

9、ince（說服）him to paint it black. When he got a tattoo (紋身)， we had a/an 17 . All these surely drove me mad, and the big fights started. It is strange but when I was a teenager, my father would act exactly the same and it took me a long time to understand him. “Dad, let me show you something,” Coyote s

10、aid as he was getting back. “Dont get too 18 , okay?” I sighed (嘆氣)， because I was almost sure of what I was about to see. When he 19 his T-shirt, I saw a new tattoo: some Buddhist symbol, I guess. Coyote has been interested in Asian culture for a long time. “Control yourself, graybeard,” I said to

11、myself, trying not to yell something like, “Why the hell would you need another tattoo after you already made that huge first one?”The next moment, I realized that my yelling would not 20 anything; the tattoo was already on Coyotes skin. And then I thought : “Hey, what if I get a tattoo myself?”13.

18、 Dogs Way HomeBThis kid fights hunger and homelessnessAustin Perine is only four years old. His story started this part February in the living room in Birmingham. Austin and his father TJ Perine, were watching a program about a mother panda leaving her babies. “I told him that the babies would be ho

19、meless for a while,”, TJ says. “Austin didnt know what homelessness meant, but he was sad and wanted to know more.”Seeing this as a teachable moment, TJ took Austin to the Firehouse Ministries, a local shelter (救濟(jì)中心) that provides housing and food for homeless men. As they drove by, they saw 25 home

20、less men standing on the street corner. “Dad, they look sad,” Austin said. “Can we take them some food and make them smile:”Austin used his pocket money to buy each man a Burger King hamburger and handed the food out himself. Seeing what the burgers meant to the men, Austin returned the next week. H

21、e handed out burgers along with his catchphrase (口號), “Dont forget to show love!”After he returned for five weeks, words of Austins acts of kindness spread through social-media. Burger King agreed to donate（捐贈）$1,000 a month for a year to feed the homeless. Soon, churches and shelters began inviting

22、 Austin to give out food in poor areas. Thanks to social support, now Austin and TJ can feed 800 to 2, 000 people at once. But Austin isnt just filling bellies. Hes improving the lives of those people he meets. On that first trip to Firehouse Ministries, TJ and Austin talked to a man named Rayment.

23、The respect Austin showed touched Raymont, and Raymont told them his story. Having known his experience, TJ helped him get a job. Finally he was able to rent an apartment. All that was made possible because a little boy took time to care. Austins actions have now become his familys calling. His gran

24、dma Audreyy Perine set up a Show Love Foundation (基金會) which helps fight homelessness. TJ left his job to oversee the foundation. As for Austin, eh continutes to give out food, smiles, and his message of love. “It makes me feel like Im saving the day.”24. Austins father took him to _ to see what hom

Austin showed respect to him D. Austin listened to his story patiently26. How did Austin help the homeless? A. By setting up a fo

26、undation. B. By asking Burger King to donate C. By spreading their stories through social-media D. By spending time and money caring about themCGrandparents are respected in many human societies. But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits (特性)

27、. Are these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species (物種) on Earth, the answer is NO！Usually, there just arent grandparents living anymore when an animal is born,” said Lahdenpera, a biologist at Universi

28、ty of Turku in Finland. Even if an animals grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small. But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals (哺乳動物) that live in close social groups. Canadian zoologi

29、st Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the groups babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some females langurs even give their own

30、 grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young. Many whale species, too, travel with their families, including grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the groups young while

31、 their mothers dive (潛水) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their family members and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because remember all the best places to find food. Female elep

32、hant rule the whole family. Calves (幼崽) are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenpera, and raise their young together. Lahdepera found that the calves of young mothers were eight times mor

33、e likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didnt. When the calves mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this benefical “grandmother effect” disappeared even if the actually grandmothers were still around.It isnt very clear how elephant grandmothers he

34、lp their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenpera. It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenpera thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent years have

35、 shown that a living grandfather can improve a persons mental health and well-being, said Lahdenpera. But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “Males are usually focusing on producing their own childr

36、en and arent providing so much care,” Lahdenpera said. 27. From Paragraph3, we know that orca grandmothers _. A. die after reproducing B. teach the young to dive for food C. have rich experience D. enjoy travelling with grandfathers28. The example of monkeys, whales and elephants show that_. A. the

37、“grandmother effect” lasts long in the animal world B. grandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their families. C. animal grandfathers can improve grandcalves mental health D. most species treat their grandparents like human beings do29. Which of the following would be the best title for the

38、passage? A. Animal grandparents are like human grandparents B. Animal grandmas are born group leaders C. Are animal grandmas given enough respect D. Do animal know their grandparents?DOver the past decade, an increasing stress has been placed on the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and

39、 Mathematics (STEM) related classes in primary, middle and high school education in the U.S. The reason for this direction is well founded: research and test scores from the 1980s and 1990s showed that our students had fallen behind their international peers in all of these subject areas. Education

40、officials, teachers and parents all felt that the situation needed to be changed, and quickly. However, in the rush to play catch-up in STEM-related areas, theres one important aspect that is being neglected (忽視)：the Fine and Performming Arts, particularly drama.Its long been understood that a study

41、 of drama at the primary, middle and high school level helps students improve in many areas, such as self-confidence, self-expression, communication skills, teamwork, and imagination. Most educators and parents agree that all of these are important for students to develop at any age, but it is diffi

42、cult for the same parents and teachers to prioritize (優(yōu)先安排) study time and classroom time to a subject like drama over subjects like math， Physics or Computer Science. Its even more difficult for policy makers and school officials to channel funds (資金) towards classes like drama, when the skills art

43、s subjects develop are considered “soft skills.” When the modern world is calling out for “hard” skills, like those needed to succeed in the tech-driven 21st century, how can they possibly prove it is reasonable to spend their funds that are becoming smaller and smaller on anything but STEM subjects

44、?The short answer to the question “why spend time and money on drama” is that drama education has been scientifically proven to improve students achievements, especially in communication skills that are very important to a STEM education. As we develop students with high refined skills in STEM subje

45、cts, its equally important that we train the teachers that will support continued growth in these areas. An active, communicative teacher is the best way to get students on board in the study of STEM subjects, which can be unbearably dry. The best way to develop active communication skills? Drama. T

46、he next area in which the communication skills can be developed is publication and conference presentation. Drama improves students public speaking skills necessary for STEM students to effectively present papers in conferences and their writing skills necessary to publish papers. Its also very impo

47、rtant for student to be able to work well with on another. In the real STEM world, almost all scientific work happens in teams. Without the “soft” people skills necessary to navigate all of these interactions, no matter how technologically skilled one becomes, he or she will be at a disadvantage wit

48、hout the ability to communicate and work in tearms. While the nationwide trend (趨勢) to focus on playing catch-up in STEM education is reasonable, practical and absolutely necessary, its important not to forget the huge effect art, specifically dram education, have on the overall education of our chi

49、ldren. The question parents, educators, and policy makers should be asking themselves is not “can we afford to support arts education in school?” but rather “can we afford not to?:”30. Why did Americans start to stress STEM related classes? A. Because the world has moved into a tech-driven century.

50、B. Because STEM classes have long been neglected in America. C. Because education officials prefer STEM classes to art classes. D. Because US students are expected to be at an advantage in these area.31. The word “channel” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “_” . A. afford B. direct C. created D. raise32.

51、 The third paragraph is mainly about _. A. the benefits of drama education B. the importance of STEM learning C. the abilities needed for STEM learning D. the reasons to improve drama education33. The writer probably agrees that _. A. drama is more important than STEM classes B. drama education has

52、been the nationwide trend C. the result of neglecting drama education is hard to bear D. American students have made progress in playing catch-up四、閱讀短文回答問題On Sunday I took part in Tomato Sauce Day of my friend Debs family. I am thankful for my beautiful friend to share this family milestone (里程碑) ev

53、ent.Nine family members, myself and a few friends, took part in the day. Sunday was a special day because it was the last time that Tomato Sauce Day event would be carried out at Grandmas home. Tomato Sauce Day is going to be different next year in terms of the surrounds (環(huán)境), however, I have a feel
