I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服).
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
4. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”. A. attracted me B. surprised me C. accepted me D. refused me 5. What does the house really mean to the author? A. A house. B. Buildings. C. An object. D. Memories. 6. What surprised the friends I know after work? A. Finding the wall repainted.
B. Erasing the fingerprints. C. Greeting them by tears. D. Leaving the wall unfinished. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Gift Made with Love B. Buildings Made by Children C. A Very Wonderful Painting D. A Family History

Janet Fein, aged 84, received her bachelor's degree from the University last week, having waited a long time for her chance to reach that goal.
Growing up in the Bronx area ofNew York City, Fein worked at a dress manufacturer after graduating early at the age of 16. After getting married, she spent 18 years staying home with her children.

So, Fein took online classes to finish the last part of her degree requirements.

Fein has also inspired Renee Brown, one of Fein's caregivers. At 53, Renee plans to begin nursing school to further her career. “Renee, you can do it. If I can do it you can do it, and you will feel so good about it,” Brown remembers what Fein told her.

Zaki was small for his twelve years, and he was angry being treated as a child. Farid, his older brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zaki’s age. Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎). Many times Zaki begged to go along, but Faridalways refused to let him.
So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practice. His grandfather, a former diver, would watch him and advise him. All morning, Zaki would practice diving beneath the waves. Every afternoon, again and again he would go underwater and hold his breath. With each day’s practice, his diving improved and he could hold his breath a little while longer. Soon Zaki felt as much at home in the water as he did out of it.
Zaki rose early one day. He wanted to compete with his brother. They dived beneath the waves. Zaki opened his eyes and found himself looking into his brother’s face. Farid was smiling with confidence. Slowly, the smile was disappearing from Farid’s face. As more seconds passed, a worried look appeared on Farid’s face. Farid was realizing that Zaki could possibly beat him. Looking into Farid’s eyes, Zaki suddenly understood what losing could mean to his brother. Never would the villagers allow him to live it down. He would be laughed at by losing to a little child. Almost without thinking, Zaki kicked his feet and rose to the surface of the water a second before Farid’s head appeared beside him.
The men around them cheered and patted Farid on the back. Farid, however, put his arm around Zaki’s shoulders. “Today,” Farid announced, “we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly, for Zaki’s ears alone, he said “Thank you, my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. Zaki’s grandfather was a good diver. B. Zaki liked staying at home every day. C. Zaki practised hard in the water daily. D. Zaki’s grandfather encouraged him to dive.
13. Which of the following best describes Zaki according to paragraph 3? A. Considerate. B. Ambitious. C. Confident. D. Adventurous.
14. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text? A. Farid beat his little brother easily. B. Zaki was as strong as his brother. C. Zaki regretted losing the competition. D. Both Farid and Zaki had grown up. 15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Farid’s Pride B. Zaki’s Challenge
C. Brothers’ Competition D. Grandfather’s Advice 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Children may not be putting coins into piggy banks for much longer. With the move towards a cashless society, pocket money is moving digital.
To reflect this trend, a number of mobile budgeting apps for children has sprung up worldwide.____16____Parents can add money to children’s accounts, set limits and monitor transactions, while children can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card. The companies behind the apps argue that in an increasingly cashless society, they can be a valuable way of teaching young children about money.
____17____These apps aim to overcome this, claiming to teach children financial concepts, such as budgeting, interest rates and income.
For instance, the Swedish app Gimi has virtual savings jars where children can deposit money; parents can pay children interest as they save. Philip Haglund, CEO of Gimi believes the app has certain advantages, like teaching responsible real-life spending habits.____18____
One concern is that introducing digital money apps to young children could help to encourage irresponsible
spending habits. “What if children don’t have a good foundation in financial capability?____19____They might develop bad money habits.” says an expert.
However, Haglund says it is important for kids to learn and make mistakes, “We want to help kids and teenagers gain financial skills for life.____20____If you’re going to make a mistake of £10 at eight, it’s better than making a mistake of £1,000 when you’re 28,” he says. A. The earlier, the better.
B. Schools, however, tend to focus more on economic theory. C. They offer a simple money management service for children. D. There’s a risk that money apps could be seen as just another game. E. Now money is being transferred through cyberspace, which is really abstract. F. It’s more about the attitude and the relationship you have with parents’ money.
G. 30% teenagers are unable to make simple financial decisions, according to a global survey. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I went out to have lunch this morning to meet an old friend. We made a date in a small and peaceful restaurant. We hadn’t seen each other for some time. So I was looking forward to it, and thought it would be a lovely lunch and a wonderful conversation. I dressed myself in my favorite dress and did my hair up. Everything seemed perfect.
When my old friend and I were seated, we first ordered our meal. But there seemed to be something wrong with the lady who took our order. Her expression was horrible and she said rudely, “What’s your order?” “A dish of fish and some rice”, I told her our order in a gentle voice. She took my order and gave me the same unfriendly attitude as she had given to others.
The woman’s bad attitude made me uncomfortable. Considering that I didn't want anything to destroy the happy moods that we had, I didn't say anything else.
As my friend and I were having our meal and talking about the things that happened before, my mind didn’t focus on our talking. I just noticed the lady’s behaviors to other customers. She was not in a good mood and she got into a fight with a customer but I didn’t know why.
When it came to my turn to approach her, I thought to myself, “What can I do here to make her mood changed and make her smile?” And I didn’t want her attitude to spoil the whole warm atmosphere in this small peaceful restaurant.
Surely there must be something I could sincerely compliment (赞扬) her on. Then there it was and I knew instantly. I said to her, “Madam, I don’t know what made you so unhappy, but I know that you must have the most incredibly well spoken and clear voice. It is so good. Like incredibly good.” That was what I could compliment her on. Paragraph 1:
When she heard what I had said, her whole face lit up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:
I went back to my seat and I noticed the lady’s whole attitude changed.
