【題目】 Imagine a school where self-awareness is celebrated, students are encouraged to solve maths problems by writing on the walls and applying learned lessons to real life is more important than homework. These are a few of the concepts that makes Space of Mind School unique.

Located in a home built in 1896 in Florida, US, the program serves students in grades 2 through 12 and will accept kindergarten students next year. It also offers an after-school program for students who attend traditional schools, as well as evening programs for adults and educators and weekend events for families.

There is a different atmosphere from that of a traditional school building. Tables and brightly colored walls are white boards. In the science room, students are studying climate changes at a weather station, while in the music room, a student is solving an equation (等式) with his academic coach while he connects music theory and maths.

The daily schedule at the school also stands out. “ We don’t assign boring or exhausting homework.” said Space of Mind founder and CEO Ali Kaufman. “ Instead of homework, we ask that they go home and take a video of themselves applying a lesson they learned or cooking a meal for their family that they learned how to make at school.”

For lunch, instead of traditional cafeteria dishes such as pizza, the school offers organic meals made out of products from local gardens and farms. “ Our students also run a business at the Delray Beach Green Market on Saturdays so they can understand sustainable living practices and how to run a business,” Kafman said.

“ We are also the first school program in Florida to start and end each day with 15 minutes of meditation (冥想),” Kaufman said. “ The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing. We are really about infusing social, emotional and creative skills with academic and life skills.”

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了Space of Mind School一些獨(dú)特的理念和做法。這些使得Space of Mind School與眾不同。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Imagine a school where self-awareness is celebrated, students are encouraged to solve maths problems by writing on the walls and applying learned lessons to real life is more important than homework. These are a few of the concepts that makes Space of Mind School unique.”可知，Space of Mind School推崇自我意識(shí)，學(xué)生們被鼓勵(lì)通過在墻上寫字來解決數(shù)學(xué)問題，并將學(xué)到的知識(shí)應(yīng)用到實(shí)際生活中。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing.”可知，我們從學(xué)生的冥想中看到的積極結(jié)果是驚人的。由此可知，冥想是有好處的。故選D。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing.”可知，冥想對(duì)學(xué)生有積極的影響。再結(jié)合劃線詞后的skills可知，冥想可以“培養(yǎng)”學(xué)生的社交、情感和創(chuàng)新技能以及他們的學(xué)術(shù)和生活技能。故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。第一段介紹了一些使得Space of Mind School獨(dú)一無二的理念。第二段是對(duì)Space of Mind School的簡介。第三段介紹的是Space of Mind School與眾不同的氛圍。第四段介紹的是它獨(dú)特的日程安排。第五段介紹的是其獨(dú)特的午餐。最后一段介紹了其首創(chuàng)的冥想活動(dòng)。這些都使得Space of Mind School與眾不同，獨(dú)一無二。綜上，文章主要介紹了使得Space of Mind School突出的因素。故選A。

【題目】（題文）Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

The ridge (脊?fàn)?/span>) structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.

Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification (識(shí)別)can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and low cost of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.

When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “print” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.

【1】（小題1）Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being's finger skin____.

A. is similar to his mother's

B. is valuable to himself only

C. is like that of others with the same type of blood

D. is different from that of all others

【2】（小題2）If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will _____.

A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one

C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly

【3】（小題3）Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ______.

A. using printer's ink B. injuring the inner skin

C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour

【4】（小題4）Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it ______.

A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive

C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money
