I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping. We both knew we wouldn’t be buying much.
I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore bright clothing. Men wore expensive suits. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood—I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building at the edge of our country. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there.
I could see the heavy lines around mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clothes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too grey for her age. My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment, she stood out because she was just common. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side.
We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and mom was holding a sweater.
She said, “This will look good on you. Do you want it ”
It was much too expensive, but I almost thoughtlessly answered “yes”.
Then I took a closer look at the small, tired woman with a big smile and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice. My words died in my throat.
Her clothes were worn and old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired because she was busy working to provide for me. She didn’t wear jewelry because she was content with spending what little money she had on me.
Suddenly, mom was beautiful and extraordinarily wonderful in my eyes.
I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself.
“Do you want it ” mom repeated.
“No, thanks.”
24. Why did the author describe the passers-by while window shopping
A. To explain the present fashion trends.
B. To express her curiosity about others.
C. To stress her mother’s being ordinary.
D. To show her envy toward rich people.
25. What most likely made the author feel uneasy
A. The feeling of being ashamed of herself.
B. The feeling of not belonging in the neighborhood.
C. The feeling of being awkward about her mom.
D. The feeling of being uncomfortable in high-end stores.
26. Why did the author’s words die in her throat
A. She was too tired to talk.
B. She didn’t want the sweater.
C. She was upset with her mom.
D. She became aware of her mother’s love.
27. How would the author probably feel about her earlier attitude to her mom
A. Pleased. B. Regretful. C. Annoyed. D. Understanding
C
There are 195 countries in the world today and actually none of them have purple (紫色) on their national flags. Throughout history, purple was never used to represent a kingdom.
So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity (稀有,罕见) and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small sea snail that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin by accident created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple.
28. Why was color purple expensive in the past
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C. Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The anti-malaria drug. B. The man-made purple dye.
C. Snails. D. Tyrian purple.
30. What can we infer from the passage
A. Royal families stop using purple because it’s not expensive.
B. A single pound of dye doesn’t cost three pounds of gold at all.
C. William Henry Perkin got rich by producing the purple dye.
D. An English chemist devoted his energy to producing the purple dye.
31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. How to Produce Purple Dye B. The Birth of Purple Color
C. Purple vs Gold D. No Purple Flags
D
Are you right-handed or left-handed Have you ever wondered why
With 10% of all humans being left-handed, lefties have been looked down upon as being unlucky. In the past, left-handers were thought to be strange, and left-handedness was thought to be caused by how anxious a pregnant (怀孕的) woman was during her pregnancy. However, we might now be closer to discovering the genetic (基因的) reasons behind handedness.
We know that the human body is made up of cells, each of which contains nucleus (细胞核). Inside the nucleus are thread-like structures called chromosome (染色体) which can be stretched out to what is known as DNA. Sections of this DNA are referred to as genes—one section of DNA would show clearly your hair color and others, the shape of your nose!
The University of Oxford research team examined the genomes (基因组) of 400,000 volunteers in the UK Biobank, of whom 38,332 were left-handed. The team discovered four genetic regions, three of which had proteins (蛋白质) that play a key role in the formation of the physical structure of the cells.
By studying the brain scans of 9000 volunteers, researchers noticed that in people who were left-handed, the left and right halves of their brain that dealt with language worked in a much more intentionally matched manner. This led them to conclude that the genetic differences they had observed in left-handed people were responsible for differences in the white matter that connects language regions of the brain.
The team also found that the regions of left-handers’ brains that set them apart from right-handers gave them a slightly higher chance of getting some mental diseases, but a slightly lower chance of getting Parkinson’s disease. This study is the first to find a link between handedness, genes, and the language areas of the brains.
32. Why does the writer use two questions at the beginning
A. To show the importance of genes.
B. To draw the readers’ attention to the topic.
C. To invite the readers to answer them.
D. To test the readers’ knowledge about being left-handed.
33. What can we say about being left-handed
A. It is caused by the anxious pregnant woman.
B. It is regarded as being strange.
C. It means greater creativity.
D. It has something to do with genes.
34. How did the researchers get their finding
A. By asking volunteers questions.
B. By testing volunteers’ intelligence.
C. By comparing the act s of people with different hands.
D. By examining genomes and studying brain scans.
35. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Right-handers are better than left-handers.
B. There is a connection between handedness and genes.
C. Handedness is decided by the white matter of the brain.
D. Left-handers have a smaller chance of getting Parkinson’s disease.

第五部分 书面表达(满分20分) (划线部分可不写)
I’m Li Hua, a high school student. Confused about the choices between art and science subjects, we have difficulty in making the right decision. So I’m writing to get some suggestions from you.
What puzzles me most is how to choose the proper subjects to meet the requirements of universities, because I know little about my future career. Another problem that bothers me is that Jack, my friend and I had a heated argument because of different opinions. I prefer art which is beneficial to realize my potential while Jack has a preference for science, which I think is difficult for me to learn. I really don’t want to lose this friend and I hope he can support my choice.
I would appreciate it if you can offer me some effective and practical advice. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
