“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change,” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher­led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.

Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world in 2018.

This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children don’t know how to play without using technology.

Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.

Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self­directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.

24. What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day?

A. Have P. E.classes on the playgrounds.

B. Have a day off and go playing anywhere.

C. Learn and play by using natural things outside.

D. Play on their own without the teachers’ guidance.

25. Why do children spend less time outdoors?

A. Schools stop providing playgrounds.

B. Adults ignore the importance of playtime.

C. Parents prefer to home school their children.

D. Technology helps children learn better at home.

26. What’s the school teachers’ attitude towards the campaign?

A. Opposed        B. Cold       C. Enthusiastic     D. Favourable

27.What’s the passage mainly about？

A. To introduce an activity. B. To advertise a product.

C. To entertain the public. D. To persuade students to play.

C

Some high school students think it useless to receive higher education. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you're one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

Schools and universities are the first places to get knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.

While limited within the walls of the educational places, we openly explore other cultures of the world! We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable things to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and exchange with various cultures, getting more experience.

When there's a recession in the economy(经济), those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you're skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.

A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores. An educated person doesn't gossip(说闲话), having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

28. What can we learn about college education from Paragraph 2?

A. It offers you a chance to study abroad.

B. It can allow you to gain more knowledge.

C. It can improve the quality of your daily life.

D. It encourages you to travel around the world.

29. What does the underlined word "recession" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. change. B. drop.

C. growth. D. support.

30. How can one benefit from a good education ?

A. You can gossip about others’ affairs.

B. You are likely to study well at school.

C. You can work well with your coworkers.

D. You get to know excellent people with similar interests.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The benefits of attending college. B. The exchange with other cultures.

C. The access to good networking. D. The ways of college education.

D

Small talk has a reputation for being uninteresting, and for good reason. Pointing out the fact that it’s raining seems as ridiculous as pointing out the fact that you have a head—you’re fully aware of both things, and don’t require an outsider to confirm them. But despite being evident and often painfully dull, small talk has an important role to play, enabling us to overcome social obstacles towards improved , meaningful interaction.(互动)

Humans can be sensitive souls. We each have our boundaries and lists of potential upsets, which when broken, cause us to either gently back away to an alternative position in the room, or become cross at the person. Small talk is first a way to test the waters with an unfamiliar person, so that you may better understand their character. When finding yourself positioned closely to a person who you know little about, it’s much safer to point out the rainy sky than to share your political views on a sensitive topic. Until you know the person better, heavier topics should probably be kept under wraps, so you won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a cold stare.

Though insignificant, small talk still has great power. When talking with fellow humans, much of our soul is exposed through non-verbal communication. A response to “how was your weekend” can unveil much about the person’s character. The length of their response might indicate their level of self-confidence; the tone of speaking might show how agreeable a person is; their slightly lowered head, as if protecting themselves from attack, a possible sign of a regrettable history of bullying.

As more of a person’s character is revealed, we have the insight needed to determine whether to broach more significant topics—the things that we actually want to talk about. Conversation is a great educator, and deep conversations establish lasting bonds with others, forming precious friendships that paint our lives with vibrant colors. Such friendships begin with small talk.

32. What is described in the first paragraph?

A. The first stage of human interaction.

B. The difficulty of having deep conversations.

   C. Absence of communication between strangers.

D. Ridiculous human behavior in communication.

33. Why do people find themselves “on the receiving end of a cold stare”?

A. Because they are enthusiastic about politics.

B. Because they are too sensitive about topics.

C. Because they fail to manage interpersonal distance.       

D. Because they come up with some uninteresting topics.

34. What might be a sign of friendliness according to paragraph 3?

A. The length of the answer.       B. The quality of the voice.

C. The position of the head.     D. The distance between speakers.

35. What might be the best title for the text?

A. Reputation of Small Talk      B. Ways of Understanding others

C. Significance of Small Talk             D. Challenges of Deep Conversation

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分,满分12.5分）

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Every student prefers to get high scores in their exams. But how can you effectively improve your memory and perform well in your exam? Try the following methods.

● Try the Memory Palace.

For example, if you want to memorize some English words, you might store “furniture, television.” in your living room and “fridge, cooker...” in the kitchen.     36     Through this way, you can memorize these words easily.

● Create your own songs.

This method has been proven in several studies as a way of sending information to memory. You can use your favorite songs to recreate new songs with information you need to remember.     37   

● Take some deep breaths.

    38    If you are stressed you will have a more difficult time recalling information during an exam. You should put some energy into de-stressing but “turning off” stress is easier said than done. That’s why scientists recommend practice tests to you. Practice tests are not only a scientifically supported means of improving memory recall but they stand up to stressful situations.

●     39   

If you are feeling distracted, do some exercise. Studies show that those who have exercised for 15 minutes and then complete a memory task, complete tasks faster than those who haven’t exercised. Even a simple walk can make a difference.

There are so many suggested methods for you.     40     If you know that studying alone works best for you, go to self-study room often when you finish your classes at school.

A. Try a mini workout.

B. Reread your notes.

C. Skip all the practice tests .

D. We know that exams are stressful.

E. You need to think about the way that suits you best.

F. The more interesting you make them, the better the result will be.

G. Then you can mentally travel through your house to recall each word.

One night, Ryder saw his mother crying and learned she could no longer afford her last chemotherapy (化疗) treatment. He broke his piggy bank and offered her all his savings. Although it touched Annie's heart, she told him it wasn't enough. Ryder was so disappointed and hurried to the washroom to cry alone. It hurt him terribly to see his mother, who had long hair, and was now bald (秃头的) .

    In an attempt to emotionally support her, Ryder brought an electric shaver and shaved his head. "Oh my God, Ryder!" Annie cried after seeing him. She was moved by what her son had done by sacrificing his hair. "Mom, I am with you in this. And you are not alone," Ryder cried along, knowing little he would be laughed at by his best friends the next day.

    A school fair had been organized on the playground, and many people, including parents, were gathering around the stalls (摊位). "Hey, look, someone in our class has lost all his hair!" Ryder's friends laughed when he arrived.

    "I got to carry on," said Ryder, shyly covering his head in a hat. He was carrying two bags stuffed with some of his favorite toys, books, and recycled craft items he intended to sell at the fair.

    As time passed, things were quickly getting sold in all the other stalls except Ryder's. He did not find time to put up a fancy display or banner (横幅) to attract buyers. But he was determined to make a sale for his mother. So he took out a pen and a giant piece of paper and decided to create a sign that read: Help My Mom Fight Cancer.

    "Please help me. I shaved my head to support my mother. But all are making fun of me without understanding me. And I have to sell these items and help her with some money. Please don't let me down," he shouted. The fair was about to end, and fortunately Ryder had managed to successfully sell most of his items.
