One cold spring night after I sold my last copy of newspaper at 10:20, I hurried across the street to the flower shop just as Mr. Rocco was locking the door. “Please Mr. Rocco J I begged, "Will you open up? I just have to have a flower. Mother's Day is tomorrow. I want the most beautiful flower you have. I have a quarter and a dime!”Mr. Rocco stood there for the longest time, looking at me and rubbing his chin. Finally he nodded, and showed me a plant on the counter. "I can give you this for 35 cents. "But it looks like a weed! ” “Now trust me, boy I promise that tomorrow morning you will find your most beautiful flower. Now put this paper bag over it and don't get your plant chilled （冻坏）."He cautioned.I ran home. Mom was sick with tuberculosis （月市结核）and using the front bedroom. She seemed to be asleep, so I quietly tiptoed （蹑手蹑脚）in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother's day.The next morning when I looked into Mom's room, she waved for me to e in and then glanced over the table where the plant was. Wow! There was a big yellow trumpet-shaped （竦！JWl状）flower. It was the most beautiful flower I ever saw! When I looked at Mom, she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks. She held out her hand for me to e near, then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt. Then, remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn't supposed to touch me, she quickly let go.My dear mom died the next night, but the plant has been in blossom all along in my heart. That moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life. Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her, but I'd always know how much she loved me.4.

To ensure that the results were not promised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up totally non-existent foreign words.When the subjects woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations. The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger than a shoebox. This vague （模糊的）way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory.Unbelievably, the subjects were able to correctly classify the word in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance. Thafs not a rate high enough to have them suddenly munication in a foreign tongue, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level, even during sleep.Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory, but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep.In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when our conscious selves are not present.The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might bee a widespread practice.8. Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study ?A. To guarantee the accuracy of the test result.B. To increase the difficulty of testing information.C. To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment.D. To test if our brains are good at learning something new.9. What were the subjects asked to do in the study ?A. Classify what they heard by size.B. Make up a word to represent “large" or “small”.C. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep.D. Imagine the meanings of the make-up words.10. What conclusion did researchers draw from this study ?A. Sleep is necessary for a good memory.B. Memory formation goes on during sleep.C. Listening during sleep is good for our brains.D. Learning languages in sleep has better effects.11. What will be the researcher next plan?A. To train people to learn during sleep.B. To prove the existence of unconscious memory.C. To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.D. To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.DOn Delaney Street in Lower Manhattan, an exciting new project is being developed in a Williamsburg Bridge trolley station. Designed by James Ramsey, owner of Raad Studio, and Dan Barasch, the project will transform the abandoned space into a new, futuristic city landmark - the Lowline.Ramsey planned to use solar technology in the site, creating an environment where plant life could grow underground. Joined to the JMZ Essex subway stop, the park will not only be an entertaining attraction, it will also bee a part of passengers9 lives. Much like the High Line built in Manhattan on an elevated （高出地面的）section of abandoned New York Central Railroad in the Lower West Side, the park will bine the natural elements of the park with industrial aspects already available in the city.The solar collecting system in the Lowline will catch sunlight above ground, transfer it underground and distribute it around the park via reflective domes （穹顶）.The light enables plants and trees to grow. During periods of sunlight, electricity would not be necessary to light the space. In 2012, the Lowline team exhibited this technology in an abandoned warehouse in the Lower East Side, available for the public and press to view so that proof of its ability could be confirmed. Since then, many city officials have shown their support of the concept and several programs have been conducted to involve youth and young designers into the park's creation.Though the negotiations of the park creation have not been pleted and it will likely not be available for citizens to enjoy until around 2020, the inventive idea will bring a dynamic new attraction to the city. It will not only create a new escape from the industrial noise, but also introduce the concept of parks and plant growth being made possible in the most unlikely places. 12. What is the similarity between the High Line and the Lowline?A. Offering convenience only for passengers.B. Planting the same types of plant life.C. Making full advantage of solar technology.D. Turning industrial wasteland into green space.13. Which is true of the future Lowline?A. It's an exciting trolley station.B. It's a long - term open exhibition.C It's a solar - powered underground park.D. It's a city landmark above the ground.14. Why did the Lowline team hold the exhibition?A. To conduct some programs.B. To prove the technology works.C. To win support from volunteers.D. To show the warehouse is useful.15. What's the author's attitude towards the concept of the Lowline?A. Optimistic.B. Unconcerned. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余 选项。The teenage years can be tough, and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or bee so intense that you can't handle them, you may be suffering from depression. 16Try not to isolate yourself.When you're depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. 17 Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.Keep your body healthy.Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runners high”? Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! 18 As for food, make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.Avoid alcohol and drugs.You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost J even if just for a short time. However, substance use can not only make depression worse, but can cause you to bee more depressed. 19 You will need special treatment for your substance problem.20Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about, see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you're dealing with friendship, or family problems, talk to an adult you trust.A. Turn to your parents for help.B. Ask for help if you are stressed.C. Even a short walk can be beneficial.D. The more exercise you do, the healthier you will be.E. Help is available and you have more power than you think.F. As you get out into the world, you may find yourself feeling better.G. In short, drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse-not betterin the long run.第二部分：语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题L5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。On September 11, 2001,1 was in my fifth grade at Hutchinson Elementary School in New York.
