Dear Jack,
I remember the moment— it truly hit me that your autism (自闭症) lasted forever. I had already mentally planned our trips up north with the boys. I was going to spend endless hours playing baseball with you— like Grandpa did with me.
When we said goodbye to kindergarten I knew it was real. I spent some time being sad. Now you are 8. You still have no words. We have never had one of those father-son moments I pictured when you were a baby. But I'm learning that's OK. I still have unbelievable things to offer as your dad, even if they weren't the things I originally expected.
You have taught me to be patient. You have taught me that it's OK to be different and to be sad when life doesn't go as planned. You have taught me that it is OK to talk about those feelings and fight for what is right. Stand up and say this is wrong, and encourage others to stand up for you and say the same.
My job on this earth is to create a world for you and other kids like you. Be the voice you don't have, and build the kind of community which I want to see you grow up in. I used to shy away from contacting people with disabilities or just not consider them. Before you were born, I was so caught up in my own world that I probably wouldn't have even noticed. Now, I see things differently. I notice. You did that for me. And hope my example will do that for others.
Your mom and I have spent 8 years trying to find your voice. And honestly, we don't know if we ever will. I promise you I will spend my life keeping you safe and making this world better for you. 4. To whom is the text written?
A. The author's son. B. The author's wife. C. The author's father. D. The author's friend. 5. What can be learned about the author? A. He's at a loss what to do to help Jack. B. He's to blame for Jack s present condition.
C. He has changed his attitude to the disabled. D. He hasn't accepted the reality up to now. 6. How does the author sound in the text? A. Sympathetic. B. Caring. C. Regretful. D. Indifferent.
7. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Science. B. Entertainment. C. Sports. D. Relationship.

America---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.
I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?
The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.
The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community of people.
8. Why does the writer mention Europe?
A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.
B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism. C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world. D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education
9. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages? A. Less concerned. B. More worried. C. Quite doubtful. D. Very supportive.
10. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit? A. Make the world globalizing. B. Achieve success in business. C. Experience people’s real life there. D. Keep away their own culture. 11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Using a second language can bring harmony. B. Communities of people enjoy the great views. C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary. D. Learning a second language can be difficult.
D
Nostalgia (怀旧) has become increasingly common in our current climate of accelerated, unexpected change. More and more Americans are turning back with longing towhat feels like simpler, sweeter times. They collect cassette tapes, manual typewriters even decades-old video games.
Is it a mistake to get too obsessed with the past? Some psychologists warn that too much devotion to the so-called good old days is an escape from reality; it can indicate loneliness or that a person is having a difficult time coping in the present. Psychologist Stephanie Coontz argues that nostalgia distracts us from addressing the problems of modern life and contribute to anxiety, depression , insomnia etc.
But new studies suggest that a modest dose of nostalgia is not only harmless, but actually beneficial. They suggest it helps strengthen our sense of identity and makes us feel more optimistic and inspired. It is also a tool for self — discovery and memories are a psychological immune response that is triggered when you want to take a break from negativity. Interestingly, those happy memories can be particularly beneficial both to kids in their teens and to society's elders. Recalling our childhood reminds us of “the times when we were accepted and loved unconditionally,\" says Krystine Batcho, a psychologist. \"That is such a powerfully comforting phenomenon, knowing that there was a time in life when we didn't have to earn our love.\" Nostalgia can transform even the most ordinary past into legends which warms the heart and the body. Let's not forget that nostalgia has been a
source of inspiration to innumerable American writers. Mark Twain recalled his boyhood, writing, \"after all these years, I can picture that old time to myself now, just as it was then:The white town drowsing in the sunshine of a summer's morning.\"
So go ahead, daydream a little about your best childhood friend, your first car, a long - gone family pct. As Dr. Sedikidessays,\"Nostalgia is ly central to human experience. \"But at the same time, keep these words of wisdom from the great inventor Charles Kettering in mind as well:\"You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time. \"
312. What did some psychologists in paragraph 2 probably agree? A. Nostalgia will cause some mental problems. B. Nostalgia makes us devoted to the good old days. C. Nostalgia shows you are trying to get rid of loneliness.
D. Nostalgia helps us cope with the difficult time we are going through. 13. There are many benefits of nostalgia except ________ A. It can enable us to know ourselves better. B. It can bring us some comfort when we recall.
C. We are likely to gain attention if we recall the happy childhood. D. We can sometimes break away from negativity with happy memories. 14. What will be talked about in the following paragraph? A. The bad influence of too much devotion to nostalgia. B. The reasons why we should avoid nostalgia. C. The bad memories that always stick around you. D. The great changes nostalgia will bring to you. 15. What's the best title of the passage? A. We all have a soft spot for nostalgia. B. Nostalgia is actually good for you. C. Don't be carried away by nostalgia. D. There are many times when we like to recall. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
