Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were
tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories
about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the park.
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (
嘟囔声
) when was about to speak. Many started
looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an
old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers
combined.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can’t tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since
your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies. I
have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven’t appeare
d in person, I have
attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”

Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I
could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I
can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”

“There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work
. You have all
been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.”

There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping turned
into cheering, then into a deafening roar (
呼喊
). Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were rubbing their eyes
or crying openly with no shame all because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher from their hometown.

I personally think trains are exciting and romantic. I must admit that trains are not important means of
transportation in the US, but I do have some experiences with them.
When I was a child, growing up in a small town with very little entertainment, we used to go to the station to
watch the passenger trains coming in. There was something exciting about the steaming, roaring string of trains
coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and louder and finally after their stop crowds of
strangers spilling
（漏出）
onto the platform.
I took my first train trip when I was ten years old. I went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred
miles away. The train
—
so loud and violent on the outside
—
was gentle and rocking inside. We were very excited,
and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. However, because I had
expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.
As a college student, I used to ride an overnight train to my roommate's hometown. We could never afford a
sleeper, so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked until we finally fell uncomfortably asleep in the straight-backed
seats.
My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and I took the train on our honeymoon,
spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as the desert scenery slid past.
Now, when I make a trip, I always fly or drive, and trains are not a very important part of my life. Still, every
time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel the impulse in my heart to pack my bags and
jump on board, entering a unique world of motions, sounds, sights and experiences which just aren't matched in the


dull environment of an airplane.
5
．
Why did the author feel a little disappointed during the first train trip?
A
．
Because the train was loud and violent.
C
．
Because she had a high expectation.
6
．
It can be inferred from the passage that.
A
．
the author's childhood memory of trains was frightening and disappointing
B
．
the author no longer makes a trip by train now as a result of its dull environment
C
．
the author didn't fall asleep until she found straight-backed seats with her roommate
D
．
the author thought trains romantic mainly because of the pleasant moment with her husband
7
．
Which word best describes the author's feelings when she hears the train whistle now?
A
．
Eager.
B
．
Embarrassed.
C
．
Romantic.
D
．
Disappointed.
B
．
Because she finally became a passenger.
D
．
Because she missed his parents.

这是一篇记叙文。短文回忆了作者从小喜欢火 车，喜欢乘火车之旅。每当作者在安静的夜晚听到火车远处
的汽笛声，总是很激动。

5
．细节理解题。根据第三段“
However, because I had expected so much, I was a little disappointed when I was
finally one of the passengers I had watched for so long.
”可知，然而，因为我期待的太多，当我终于成为我注视了这么久的乘客之一时，我有点失望。由此可知，为什么作者在第一次乘火车旅行时感到有点失望是因为她有很高的期望。故选
C
项。

6
．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“
My idea that trains are romantic may come from the fact that my husband and
I took the train on our honeymoon, spending extra money to eat in the dining car, and looking out of the window as
the desert scenery slid past.
”可知，我之所以认为火车很浪漫，可能是因为我丈夫和我在度 蜜月时坐火车，
花额外的钱在餐车里吃东西，看着窗外沙漠景色徐徐而过。由此判断出，作者认为火车浪 漫主要是因为与
丈夫的愉快时刻。故选
D
项。

7
．推理判断题。根据最后一段“
Still, every time I hear the train whistle far away on a quiet night, I can always feel
B
．
Watching Trains Coming
D
．
Trains: My Best Choice


the impulse in my heart to pack my bags”可知，每当我在安静的夜晚听到火车远处的汽笛声，我总能感受到
心中的冲动。由此判断出，“渴望的”最能描述作者听到火车汽笛声时的感受。故选
A
项。

8．主旨大意题。短文回忆了作者从小喜欢火车，喜欢乘火车之旅。每当作者在安静的夜晚听到火车远处的汽笛声，总是很激动。所以短文的最佳标题为“我对火车的热爱”
。故选
A
项。< br>

I've been writing since before I could write. As a kid, I dictated stories to my 12 years ago,I
was living in New York City and pursuing a master in creative writing. For years I'd been suffering vision disorder,but
in New York my symptoms worsened. I became unable to read or write for any considerable length of time. I tried
vision therapy(
疗法）
，
an overhead projector,a special pair of glasses-all in vain.
Eventually,I discovered a computer program for the visually challenged. As I typed,my words were read aloud
by an automated voice. With my screen dimmed to black,I relied entirely on audio feedback to know what I had
written.
Facing the blank page is worrying,but facing the black page is worse. The dark screen is a sinkhole that swallows
creative hope. Sentences disappear into it like an astronaut into a black hole. I managed to complete my master degree,
but it took me years to adapt to my new reality. The greatest barrier seemed to be the automated voice, which was like
a robot parrot on my shoulder, and I wanted nothing more than to drive it away. If a pianist were forced to practice on
an untuned piano,would it corrupt his ear over time?
Of course,I could have quit writing and stopped making myself it honestly never occurred to me-and
I'm glad it didn't. Last year, after I told my story on the radio,I was contacted by V
ocaliD,a Massachusetts-based
company that created a voice modeled on my own.
The first time I heard the voice they created, it is so close to my own that the two are nearly indistinguishable.
I've only just begun using this new voice. My hope is that this will restore a sense of solitude(
孤独）

to my writing
process,allowing me easier access to that inner space where the imagination can take over, and I can forget myself,
and the real work can begin.
The black screen still exists- it always will-but the robot parrot has taken wing.
9
．
What happened to the author when pursuing a master degree in New York?
A
．
His sight started to fail due to much reading.
B
．
His eyes couldn't sustain long hours of reading.
C
．
He had to drop out due to his vision disorder.
D
．
He successfully overcame his vision problem.


10
．
What still bothered the author after he got his master degree?
A
．
The untuned automated voice.
B
．
The pet parrot on his shoulder.
C
．
The computer with a dark screen.
D
．
The noise from a neighboring pianist.
11
．
How did the author feel when first hearing the voice created by V
ocaliD?
A
．
Excited.
C
．
Unmoved.
12
．
What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A
．
The automated voice is too annoying to bear.
B
．
The author can restore his sight to normal.
C
．
The author starts to enjoy his writing again.
D
．
It is likely that the technology will improve.

通向内在自我与想象的 写作可能，能够重新享受独自的写作过程。故选
C
。

Jessica Burks’ home is full of opportunities. Packaged
slime(
黏土
) in a variety of colors and pleasant smells
lines one wall of living room, and, in the designated “slime room” workspace in the back, bottles of fragrance oil are
arranged in rows, next to glue and an industrial-size kitchen mixer.
But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’ house that shocks people, she said. It’s that her 15
-year-old daughter,
Samantha Zumwalt, is in charge of their enterprise. The mother-
daughter team run Samantha’s Slime Shop at home
and the demand for their products helps them
earn six figures a year. Samantha’s slime, offered in a rainbow of colors
and a range of textures(
质地
), is in high demand. Since she started her business, she’s made more than 24,000 sales on
Etsy. The customers are generally young
—
between 9 and 12 years old, Burks said, though some adults and teens
buy slime, too. Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it
because it gives them something to do with their hands.
Last year, Nichole Jacklyne, a social media blogger, who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds
of thousands of followers, reviewed Samantha’s product in a video. After Jacklyne’s video, orders poured into
Samantha’s shop, Burks said.

However, Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to

the girl’s slime ambitions. It took months for Samantha to
convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime. “I told her no for months,” Burks said. Finally, Burks gave
in. She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business. Now, Burks is proud
of Samantha for running the business so well, “I hope she can meet all of her business goals —

whether that’s still
running the slime enterprise, or buying another business out, or starting a new business,” she said.

“Whatever her
dreams are… is where I want her to be.”

13

A
．

C

B
．
All adults buy it just for recreation.
C
．

D
．
It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet.
15
．
How does Jessica Burks’ attitude to Samantha’s slime business change?

A
．
Worried→Favorable.

C
