I can never forget the stamp incident which happened when I was a primary school pupil.
My best friend, Apple, was a stamp—collector. He tried every way to get stamps and spent every penny he had on them. Once he obtained a beautiful or precious stamp he would be more than happy. I was always his companion in his search for stamps.
One day Apple whispered to me mysteriously that he had found a most wonderful stamp on a letter addressed to our young arithmetic teacher, who was a very pretty and kind-hearted girl. Apple wanted that stamp badly the idea of stealing the letter occurred to him. I was frightened and begged him not to do that.
That evening Apple hurried to my home and showed me a letter. It was a man's handwriting. In the letter the man implored our teacher to forgive him and asked her to meet him at the gate of Central Park at eight that evening. If not, he’d take it that she would never forgive him, and it mean the end of their relationship.
"The teacher asked me if there was any letter for her this afternoon. You see, she knows I am a stamp-collector and always wander about the place where letters are delivered. When I said 'No', she looked rather sad," Apple told me. We were completely at a loss. Too frightened to go to the teacher, we decided to go to the meeting place ourselves.
At the park gate, we saw a tall young man with glasses, walking back and forth as if he was waiting for someone. I did not know how long we had been there. Finally, the man left, looking very worried and disappointed.
A few days later, Apple ran to me with stamps in his hand and tears in his eyes. He told me that these were from our teacher. She said that she once had a friend who was a stamp-collector too, but she had lost him forever, so the stamps she had collected for him were no longer useful.
…

A. Excited B. Scared
C. Anxious D. Regretful
5. Why did the man write to the author’s teacher?
A. To apologize to her B. To ask about the letter
C. To show his forgiveness D. To end their relationship

C. They solved their problem D. They broke up

Babbage, born in London in 1791, was a great mathematical genius. He was a natural inventor.
When he finished school, he went to study mathematics at Cambridge University. Later, he got a job teaching at the university. While working there, he designed his “first difference engine”. This was, basically, a hand-operated mechanical calculator.
He took nine years to build a part of the machine. This machine can make complex mathematical calculations. It’s a basic mechanical computer.
Babbage dreamed, however, of more complicated machines. In fact, he didn’t only dream; he began to design them. The result was a series of “analytical engines” which were in fact powerful computers!
His designs contained processors, control units, a memory, and an input/output system. These are the four essential parts of a modern mathematical computer!
Alas! His “second difference engine” couldn’t use electricity since this hadn’t yet become a usable source of power, so Babbage had to make do with mechanical systems. For this reason, the machine was big, complicated and expensive. Though Babbage produced complete plans for the machine, he couldn’t build it. It was too advanced for its age!
It was not until almost 160 years later that Babbage’s “second difference engine” was finally manufactured. The first working version of this machine was built by the Science Museum in London, for the Babbage bicentenary in 1991. A second machine was then built for an American high-tech millionaire, who put it in the Computer History Museum, in California.
Babbage’s analytical engines would have used “programs” like those used in the textile(纺织)industry to make complicated patterns, but they were never built. This brilliant mathematician really was too far ahead of his time!
8. Where did Babbage plan his “first difference engine”?
A. In London B. At high school C. At Cambridge D. In Science Museum
9. What do we know about his “second difference engine”?
A. It took him nine years to build it B. It was far ahead of its time
C. Its deign came out in his dreams D. Its power source was electricity
10. The “second difference engine” was built to work in 1991 ____________.
A. for an American millionaire B. in memory of Babbage
C. to test its ability to use electricity D. for textile industry to make patterns
11. What can we infer from the text?
A. Babbage’s engines didn’t run on programs
B. Textile patterns are produced with programs
C. Babbage can be seen as the father of computers
D. Babbage’s analytical engines were never built

When you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves, do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍照) on WeChat or QQ, but you probably don’t think of the Internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.
But the chief executive of London’s Saatchi Gallery, Nigel Hurst, thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea, the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression.
It features well-known self-portraits from artists including Dutch painters Van Gogh (1853-1890) and Rembrandt (1606–1669). It also has selfies on show that have “quickly become icons of the digital era.” These include one taken by US celebrity(名人) Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, according to the BBC.
The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.
Hurst is perhaps not being 100 percent serious. He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time, it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones, as Hurst told The Guardian, who “had the skills, materials and tools to create self-portraits.” Today, however, we “all have that [ability] through our smartphones.”
The popularity of the selfie rocketed after smartphones started to become widely used. In 2013, Oxford Dictionaries named “selfie” as its word of the year. As Pamela Rutledge, a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology, told Vogue magazine: “the cult (热潮)of the selfie celebrates regular people”.
12. What does the underlined word “features” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. informs B. shows C. sells D. misses
13. Nigel Hurst’s attitude to the smartphone selfie is_______.
A. casual B. mixed C. favorable D. negative
14. Who shares opinions with Nigel Hurst?
A. Kim Kardashian B. Barack Obama C. David Cameron D. Pamela Rutledge
15. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Selfies as Self-portraits B. Age of Smartphones
C. Age of Selfie Artists D. Selfies of Celebrities

做词义猜测题时，最常见的就是利用上下文语境、常识和语法关系推断词义。抓住所需推断词汇前后的“含义”进行推测。特别当心文中小“also”，also是“也”的意思，这就说明前文一定存在它的一个分支了。本题第1小题，根据第三段第二句It also has selfies on show that---，它也展示了----。由此可知上句肯定也是在说“自拍的展示”，所以划线词的意思就是“展示”，故选B。

I do well in school, so people think I am smart. But it’s not true. In fact, three year ago I struggled in Grade 9. Later, I decide to get serious about school and made a little changes. First, I decided I would become interesting in whatever was being taught, regardless of that what other people thought. I also made up my mind to work hardly every day. After carry out these changes, I became active participant in classroom discussions. Then my test scores began to rise. How exciting! It seems to myself that being smart is simple a matter of making efforts and being interested.
知识点：短文改错
1.根据three可知后面的名词用复数形式，故把year---years。
2.根据前文可知句子用一般过去时态，故把decide--- decided。
3. a little修饰不可数名词，而 changes变化，是名词复数，故把little---few。
4.固定词组：be interested in对---感兴趣，故把interesting--- interested。
5.句意：不管别人怎么想。介词后面的宾语从句缺少引导词，从句缺少宾语，故把that去掉。
6.句意：努力工作。hardly几乎不；hard努力地，辛苦地，根据句意可知把hardly---hard。
7.after是介词，所以后面用doing 做宾语，可知答案为carrying。
8.句意：我变成了一个积极参加课堂讨论的参与者。active以元音开头，故在前面加an。
9.句意：在我看来，聪明只是一件努力和感兴趣的事。It seems to me that---,依我看来似乎---。故把myself---me。
10. 句意：在我看来，聪明只是一件努力和感兴趣的事。副词修饰整个句子，故把simple---simply。
