5．We should never give up when we've challenged.The following three actresses have set a good example to us.
Sarah Jessica Parker
When Parker was little，she had to take up singing and dancing to help feed her big family.
Despite hard times，Parker's mom encouraged her children's interest in the arts.When Parker was 11 years old，the family took a trip to New York City，so Parker could audition（試演） for a Broadway play.The trip was a success- she and her brother were both cast，and then the family moved to New York.Parker continued to work hard and land roles，eventually becoming the title character of a famous TV show.
Emily Blunt
Before Blunt was nominated（提名） for Golden Globes and landing leading roles on the stage and big screen，she could hardly hold a conversation with her classmates：Between ages7 and 14，Emily had a major stutter（口吃）.But that all changed when one of her junior high teachers encouraged her to try out for the school play，which she thought was a totally unappealing（無吸引力的） thing at first due to the fact that she had such a hard time communicating.The teacher suggested she try accents and character voices to help get the words out and it worked.By the end of her teens，Blunt had overcome her stutter and went on to achieve the successful career she has now.
Shania Twain
Twain's career actually began more out of necessity than raw ambition.Her mom and stepfather often couldn't make enough to get by，so Twain started singing in bars to make extra money when she was just eight years old.She recalls her mother waking her up at all hours to get up and perform.Sadly，when she was 21，her mother and stepfather were killed in a car accident on the highway.
Twain put her career on hold to step in and take care of her younger brothers.Only when her youngest brother graduated from high school did she feel it was OK to head down to Nashville to pursue her career.
（1）Why did Parker's family go to New York City when she was 11？
A．Because a TV show was waiting for Parker.
B．Because Parker planned to learn the arts there.
C．Because Parker's family wanted to travel there.
D．Because Parker could try out for a play there.
（2）What was her first reaction when Blunt was advised to try out for the school play？
A．Excited.
B．Uninterested.
C．Angry.
D．Touched.
（3）What did Parker and Twain have in common when they were young？
A．They helped support their family.
B．They had uncaring parents.
C．They wanted to become famous.
D．They had an unhappy childhood.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5 -
6．Who doesn't want to live life in style？Life is like a road on which you never get a chance to return，and is not a very long road either.So we should try to live life to the fullest and enjoy every bit of it.
Every individual has unique likings and preferences，and all of us try to live the lives that suit us best.The world is like a painting cloth on which different people with different races，different languages，and different cultural backgrounds interact.But among these，the arts provide an easy and natural way for people to connect.
People with a knack for the arts usually discover it in childhood.But art isn't only for the talented；it can help everyone grow.Those with a strong artistic background are often more energetic，and more successful in all fields of life.Art widens the range of a person's life.
Painting is one of the most popular art forms.Those who are interested in taking it up as a career need to go through extensive training to get familiar with the various styles.Professional painters often host art exhibitions，with art lovers from all over the world coming to see and buy their creations.Sometimes the paintings are sold at high prices.
Performing arts are equally popular and admired.Dance，instrumental music，drama and so on require unusual artistic talent as well as a long period of education and training before audiences start to applaud the performances.But anyone with some artistic sense can make art part of his/her life，and benefit from it.
（1）Why should people make the most of life？
A．Because life is difficult but enjoyable.
B．Because life is valuable and ordinary.
C．Because life is too short to be wasted.
D．Because life is like a road full of tomorrows.

7．A year ago，my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding.After the reception，we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home.It was nine o'clock at night，and although many buses passed，none stopped.
We waited for an hour and were getting forlorn.We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday，and we both needed to work the next day.It was almost 10 p.m.jye.ai a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car.Probably sensing that we were waiting for some means of transport，they stopped and gave us a lift.

8．Controlling traffic is a complex and high cost problem in many developed countries.It becomes more difficult and costly with the ever-increasing number of cars on the roads.But scientists and students at the CATT，at the University of Maryland are working to solve this problem.They are using simulation（模擬） technologies to help government and private business control and react to changing traffic conditions.
The online economics magazine Forbes.jye.ai says traffic congestion （擁擠） cost Americans 124 billion in 2014 and that number could rise to1 86 billion by 2030.
But scientists at the CATT lab are trying to reduce those costs.They are developing a system that helps traffic managers，planners，emergency workers and businesses plan and react better.Michael Pack is CATT director.He says the system is important to help emergency workers，or first responders，reach an accident area faster.
The CATT Lab collects information from many sources，including roadside devices，GPS（global positioning system） equipment and wireless phones.
About 60 students and 30 software developers observe traffic flow and manage the computer servers at all times.They also work to develop software and applications that can help traffic run smoother and safer.Some of them turn the information gathered into so-called"visualizations".These visual representations help emergency workers better understand what is happening.
The center shares its findings with firefighters，police，transportation departments and the military.They also share information with universities and transportation companies.The technology company Google uses the data for its traffic-related websites.Michael Pack says the information is then shared with anyone who wants to help traffic run more smoothly.
Mr.Pack says the goal is to help develop an intelligent system of road signals that will communicate with each other and with vehicles on the road.
（1）What is the purpose of paragraph 2？
A．To attract more people to look through Forbes.jye.ai.
B．To tell readers what Forbes .com says on its website.
C．To show how much money controlling traffic costs America.
D．To prove it is very expensive for some developed countries to control traffic.
（2）What benefit can emergency workers get from the system developed by the CATT lab？
A．They can be safer.
B．They can reach an accident area faster.
C．They can get more advice from people.
D．They can share their information with others.
（3）Which of the following is NOT true about the developers and the students at the CATT？
A．They observe traffic flow continuously.
B．They develop software and applications.
C．They control the computer servers occasionally.
D．They change the information gathered into visual image.
（4）In which column of the newspaper can you read this text？

D．Exploration.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -
9．With a computer or smart phone today，we can make more and more friends，and even befriend people we've never met face-to-face．（1）
Aside from modern facilities，how to make friends has been a question of vital interest to people through the ages．But how to make and be a good friend？
（2）
Everyone wants to have friends who are loyal and true，but not everyone knows how to have or be such a friend．People who make friends easily are those who express an interest in others and in what they are doing．By asking questions and showing interest in others，you make them feel welcomed and appreciated，helping them feel their efforts are worthwhile．
Friendly people will not pass up the opportunity to let others know when they do something well．
A friend is encouraging．
The impact of well-timed encouragement can be tremendous．I can remember talking to a less popular classmate at school after he had a run - in with the class bully．"Don't worry about him，" I said．"He's just jealous of your grades in class．" （3）
What a response I got！We began doing almost everything together．（4）The incident taught me how important it is to show concern，and to this day we are still firm "best friends" ！
Be trustworthy．
（5）They are those who can trust and rely on．Do others see you as trustworthy？The way you live your life，the standards you abide by，will create an impression on others．Never compromise your integrity，standards or beliefs because you think someone will not approve of you．If the person is a worthwhile friend，he or she will appreciate your honesty and uprightness．
A．To make friends，be friendly！
B．A friend in need is a friend indeed．
C．Later on，this fellow introduced me as his "best friend．"
D．What kind of people do you want to have around you？
E．In fact one might have more "digital friends" than he does in real life！
F．Friendship is one of the most important relationships we can have in life．
G．A couple more times I offered encouragement when I saw him looking lonely．組卷：5引用：2難度：0.5
