26、US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.

When she is on the stage, audiences often go silent. They also laugh, shout and cry. But this doesn’t come easily for someone who comes from a village that sits at the base of a huge mountain range in Central America. When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”.

“How do I defend myself?” Tahay thought. “I don’t know how.”

“Keep going,” her mother would tell her. “At some point, you’ll learn.”

She spent hours after school and on weekends watching the same DVDs: English without Barriers.

Tahay’s elder brother, Elmer, persuaded her to go to the after-school poetry club. In the last six years, her English teacher Laurie Kurnick has turned Cleveland Charter High School’s poetry program into one of the most respected in the city. Her team draws from the likes of D.H. Laurence, Pat Mora and Kendrick Lamar to create poems about their own lives. The poems focus on many things —some funny, some painful.

The first time Tahay read the group’s poems, chills went up her spine (脊柱). “I wish I could write like that,” she thought. “I want to say something.”

She wrote her first poem about her first year in America. She called it Invisible. The day her turn came to recite in front of the team, she broke down crying. She cried for 15 minutes. “I had so much held in,” Tahay said. “I couldn’t even finish it.”

But she kept at it despite her less-than-perfect grammar, spelling and diction (措辞). Still, she wouldn’t tell her friends about her poetry because she worried they would make fun of her.

But with time, her poems changed her. “They gave me pride,” Tahay said. “They told me that I’m worth something.”

“She had this innocence,” Kurnick said. “This willingness to be genuine and show you things you don’t ever see.”

【1】What did Tahay’s mother suggest she do when she was teased by others?

A．Fight with them bravely.

B．Report them to her teachers.

C．Ignore them and keep going.

D．Try hard to make friends with them.

【2】What are the themes of Tahay and her team’s poems?

A．Their admiration for the great poets.

B．Their appreciation of natural beauty.

C．Their expectations of a better future.

D．Funny and painful stories about their lives.

【3】How did Tahay probably feel when she first read the group’s poems?

A．She was cold.

B．She was excited.

C．She was nervous.

D．She was frightened.

【4】How did Tahay benefit from writing poems?

A．She felt more confident about herself.

B．She won many national poetry competitions.

C．She became the first student poet in the city.

D．She improved her grammar and spelling greatly.

27、   Homework is a major part of going to school: It’s your teachers’ way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. 【1】Luckily, you can do a few things to make homework less burden.

Be sure you understand the homework

Write your homework down in your notebook or day planner if you need to. 【2】 It’s much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

Use any extra time in school

Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study. It’ s tempting (诱惑人的) to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured (松散的) time. 【3】

Take a break

【4】So take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.

【5】

If you don’t finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time. Most high-school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day and it seems like you’ve got an assignment in every subject but gym and lunch, you’ll need to devote more time to homework. It’s a good idea to come up with some kind of homework schedule, especially if you are involved in sports or activities or have an after-school job.

A. Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time.

B. And it helps digest important concepts.

C. Plan yourself.

D. Settle down to homework.

E. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected in your homework.

F. But the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.

G. Most people’s attention spans (跨度) aren’t very long.

28、A study plan is an effective way to help you get through your college education in an organized way. Each student will develop a different study plan. 【1】 When creating your personalized (个性化的) study plan, you will need to do some self-evaluation of your current schedule and time management. Follow the step-by-step instructions below will help you.

Create a time chart of your current activities.

Creating a time chart will allow you to see how you spend your time from day to day. For a one-week period, take notes about your daily activities. Record things like when you are at work, school, or home with family. 【2】

Develop a schedule.

Now that you have determined available days and times for studying, make a mark in your calendar. Use detailed notes to block out (概略画出) times on your calendar so that you are reminded every time you look at it. 【3】 Seeing it written down can make it seem more important, like a doctor's appointment you can't miss.

Determine your study goals.

At the beginning of each week, determine why you need to study and what you plan to accomplish in each class. Do you want to raise your average in a particular class in order to maintain a certain GPA (平均分)? 【4】 For example, if you are studying for an important mid-term exam, change your study plan two weeks before the test to include reviews of old tests and notes in your sessions (课程).

【5】

A study plan works best if it is followed on a consistent (一致的) basis. You should try to develop a study plan that you can follow for the length of each term of college. Since most students enroll in different classes each term, you will have to reevaluate your plan and fine- tune it each term.

A．Stick to your schedule.

B．Even note when you eat and sleep.

C．Are you preparing for a big exam?

D．There is no correct study plan for everyone.

E．It is best to have a schedule written down so you won't forget.

F．So be sure to analyze what you plan to get out of each study session.

G．However, it is helpful to write down which subject you plan to study.

29、   We found him a few weeks ago when we were walking along the country road. He was jumping around between cars. We thought maybe his family was camping somewhere nearby, so we passed him by. A few hours later, on our return trip, he was still there, trying to get someone to stop for him.

We stopped and took a good look at him. He had no collar (项圈) and he was really thin. We guessed that he was abandoned (遗弃). He was clearly on the road for some time. He was covered with scars and new wounds. We thought that some of them were from fights with wild dogs or other wild animals.

So we took him home, cleaned him and fed him a lot over the next two weeks. He gained over 10 pounds. Then we took him to the vet, who said he appeared to be in good health. The vet said the dog was about two or three years of age, according to the condition of his teeth. And the vet gave him all the required shots.

We really loved this dog. He had obviously been mistreated but he was still so sweet. He had no manners, but he was a quick learner. He no longer tried to get on the bed, but he liked sitting in the chair. We thought he wanted to avoid being underfoot when our daughter was dancing, which she did often. She had stepped on him a few times. When that happened, he simply moved. He did not growl (狂吠) or bare his teeth.

Since then, he had become a member of our family.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
