One day he asked me how much practice I was doing, I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?" " I try to." u Well, don' t, he shouted. "When you grow up, time won' t come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them, five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and the violin playing will become a part of your life. When I was teaching at Boston, I wanted to write a novel, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Sam had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my surprise, at the end of the week I had finished a chapter. Later on I continued my novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedulehad become heavier than ever, every day there were unoccupied moments that could be caught and put to use. I even took up violin-playing again, finding that the short moments of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and violin practice.There is an important trick in this time： you must get into your work quickly. If you have only five minutes for writing, you can' t afford to waste for chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let it go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Sam Trafton has had a great influence on my life. To him I discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge（投入）in without delay.24. What is the suggestion of the writer? s violin teacher?A. Practice violin as much as possible to be skillful. B. Play the violin for three or four hours a day.C. Try to make good use of every free moment. D. Practice in long stretches, an hour at a time.25. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Sam owes great thanks to the writer for teaching him how to use time.B. Sam has had a great influence on the writers life as a violinist.C. Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.D. The writer didn' t take the teacher, s words to heart at first.26. We can infer that the writer.A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB. can find time for mental preparations beforehand, so he is devoted to work instantly.C. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novels.D. is always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavy 27. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Little time at a Time.B. How I Became a WriterC. Concentrate on Your WorkD. A Good TeachercNew research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation （突变）which took place 6,000-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.nOriginally, we all had brown eyes, ,f said Professor Hans Eiberg. " But a genetic mutation affecting the OCA2 gene （基 因）in our body resulted in the creation of a switch, which literally turned off the ability to produce brown eyes. " The 0CA2 gene codes for the so-called P protein, which is involved in the production of melanin （黑色素）.It gives colour to our hair, eyes and skin.The switch, which is located in the gene neighboring to 0CA2, does not, however, turn off the gene entirely, but rather limits its action to reducing the production of melanin in the eyeball一 effectively turning brown eyes to blue. The effect of the switch on 0CA2 is very specific therefore. If the 0CA2 gene had been completely destroyed or turned off, human beings would be without melanin in their hair, eyes or skin colour.Variation in the colour of the eyes from brown to green can all be explained by the amount of melanin in the eyeball, but blue-eyed individuals only have a small degree of variation in the amount of melanin in their eyes. "From this we can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor, n says Professor Eiberg. "They have all inherited （继承）the same switch at exactly the same spot in their DNA. Brown-eyed individuals, by contrast, have considerable individual variation in the area of their DNA that controls melanin production.The mutation of brown eyes to blue represents neither a positive nor a negative mutation. It is one of several mutations such as hair colour, baldness, and beauty spots, which neither increases nor reduces a human * s chance of survival. As Professor Eiberg says, “it simply shows that nature is constantly affecting the human gene and trying out different changes as it does so.28. What is the finding of Professor Hans Eiberg* s team?A. The eye color can be changed by adjusting genes today.B. Blue-eyed people have survived due to their special genes.C. A genetic mutation leads to the change of people1s eye color.D. The eye color can help discover where people1s ancestors were.29. What can we learn about “the switch11 from Paragraph 3 ?A.It helps produce less melanin.B.It produces melanin directly.C.It can be limited by other genes.D.It helps 0CA2 function in our body.30. Why can we conclude all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor?A.They have almost the same gene.B.They have a small degree of variation.C. They have more melanin in their eyes. D. They have more variation in gene.31. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A.Nature affects our genes.B.Only the fittest can survive.C.We are decided by our genes.D.Some genetic mutations are pointless.DA good memory is an important advantage and it is something that can be developed right from childhood. Playing memory games on a regular basis offers a wide range of benefits to kids. Even children who have learning disabilities are able to retain information for longer thanks to playing these memory games.One of the most important advantages coming from playing memory and mathematical games from a young age is that they help develop the brain. In fact, this is a great way to give exercise to the brain. Scientists have also observed a remarkable increase in cognitive （认知的） skills as a resultofplayingthesegames.Otheradvantagesinclude increase in short-term memory and improved ability to concentrate on tasks at hand. One of the biggest obstacles of learning is an inability to focus on one, s work and to pay the necessary attention to important subjects. Apart from all the advantages listed above, memory games also make learning fun and ensure that kids have a positive approach towards learning and acquire a number of skills that will help them for a long time to come. This is of great importance because it helps kids persevere with their education as they grow older and difficulty levels of studying increase.Kids these days spend a great deal time playing video games and are quick to start playing educational games as well. Interestingly, many parents are happy to let them switch from playing video games to memory games on a computer or mobile device.There are many different types of memory games that one could choose for one' s kids. However, one should only ever give age-appropriate puzzles and mathematical games to kids or else their motivation levels to participate in them will drop over time. In short, a child who has been exposed to proper memory games from a very young age is more likely to do well in life.32. The underlined word “retain" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to "”.A. readB. hearC. keepD. change33. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of memory games?A. Making children interested in learning B. Treating children' s learning disabilities.C. Helping children concentrate on their study D. Developing children' s brains 34. The motivation of children will drop if.A. they play memory games that aren? t suitable for themB. there aren? t many interesting games availableC. the memory games are only designed for every little kidD. they are required to spend more time in studyingE. . What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The history of memory games.B. The development of memory gamesC. The popularity of memory games.D. The benefits of memory games第二节（共5小题；每题2分，总分值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正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness ,anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 36 . Try the following steps：Calm yourself. 37 . You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure ： a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology.

Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for thelove,beautyandkindnessaroundyou.39. If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender1s point of view.Don1t forget to forgive yourself. 40 . But it can rob you of your self confidence if you don't do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive? C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from your offender
