One day, I asked her, "why do you practise so hard? You are playing very well."
"That's because I want to play in the city basketball team," she looked at me and said proudly. "But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard." I was moved by her great courage.
Another day, I saw her crying on the grass, instead of playing basketball. I walked across the street and sat down by her side.
"Why are you crying, girl?" I asked.
"The coach of the city basketball team told me that I couldn't go on playing basketball because I was too short."

4．阅读理解
Do you want to improve your physics and chemistry grades? Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles （奋斗） of great scientists.
The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists' personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein （爱因斯坦） ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution （迫害）. The last group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curie's failed scientific tests. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles（障碍） .
The students took a science exam before the study. After the six—week study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didn't see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.
The study was led by Xiaodong Lin—Siegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him. Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures（失败） .
Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The "great minds" also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.
Xiaodong says today's science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.
（1）According to the article, students can improve their physics and chemistry grades by _______.
A. reading the achievements of great scientists more carefully
B. listening more carefully to their physics and chemistry teachers
C. learning about how great scientists dealt with their obstacles
（2）All of the students who took part in the study _________.
A. were interested in physics and chemistry
B. went to school in New York City
C. wanted to improve their physics and chemistry grades
（3）Andy Hunt was one of the students who took part in the study. According to his report card, he was probably a member of _________.
Andy Hunt
Class 2, Grade 9
Physics
2018.4—9 86
2018—5—22 79
（4）In Paragraph Four, the word "match" means "___________ " in Chinese.
A. 满足
B. 比得上
C. 配对
（5）Xiaodong Lin—Siegler thinks science textbooks should ___________.
A. tell students directly that Einstein was born a common man
B. make the long lists of facts山at students have to remember more interesting
C. include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed
【答案】（1）C

5．阅读理解
Do you often listen to music at loud volumes? You should know that this habit is bad for your hearing, according to the World Health Organization （WHO）.
Over 1 billion young people are at risk of hearing loss because of listening to loud noise for long periods of time, WHO said. Listening to music or watching a TV show at loud volumes can harm your hearing.
The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels （dB 分贝） for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes. The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB and the sound of a rock concert can be about 100 dB.
Loud noise is harmful to the inner ear （内耳）. Most of us are born with about 16,000 hair cells （听毛细胞） in our inner ears. These cells detect （探测） sounds. However, listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.
Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. But this can depend on where you are. For example, if you are in a noisy place like the subway, you might turn up your music too loud without realizing it. Later, when you listen to it at the same volume in a quiet place, you might feel uncomfortable.
WHO said the "safe level" for most sound is below 80 decibels for up to 40 hours a week. A level of 80 decibels is roughly equal to the noise of a subway.
（1）According to the story, WHO suggests that it is NOT safe to _____.
A. listen to music every day
B. watch TV for over an hour
C. listen to loud sounds for a long time
D. go to a rock concert
（2）The sound level of a busy road is about _____.
A. 80 dB
B. 85 dB
C. 100 dB
D. 115 dB
（3）Why can listening to loud music cause hearing problems?
A. Because it puts our brains under great pressure.
B. Because it can cause hair cells in the inner ear to die.
C. Because it prevents our ears from resting.
D. Because it allows people to get used to listening to loud sounds.
（4）What does the fifth paragraph tell us?
A. People love to listen to loud music.
B. It's reasonable to listen to loud music in some places.
C. People are likely to listen to music on the subway.
D. People don't always realize how loud their music is.
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）B
（4）D
【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文讲述了高分贝音量对人听觉的伤害，许多人失去了听力。告诫人们听音乐，特别是用耳机听音乐时要关小音量。世卫组织说，大多数声音的“安全水平”在80分贝以下，一周可长达40小时。
（1）细节理解题。由The United Nations has standards for safe listening. It is not safe to listen to sounds that are louder than 85 decibels （dB 分贝） for eight hours or 100 dB for 15 minutes.联合国有安全倾听的标准。听8小时大于85分贝（分贝）或15分钟大于100分贝的声音是不安全的，可知听长时间的噪音是不安全的，故选C。
（2）细节理解题。由第二段最后句The sound of a busy road is about 85 dB.可知繁忙道路的声音约为85分贝，故选B。
（3）细节理解题。由 listening to loud noise for a long time can make these cells work too hard and cause some of them to die. This is what causes hearing loss.可知噪音导致听力问题是因为长时间听大噪音会使这些细胞工作得太辛苦，导致其中一些细胞死亡，故选B。
（4）细节理解题。由 Some people might think that their music isn't all that loud. 有些人可能认为他们的音乐没有那么响亮。可知也就是人们并不总是意识到他们的音乐有多响亮，故选D。

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water me tens. They can detect （探测） water waste and leakage （泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. In this way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App （应用程序）that
collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.
（1）The underlined word "convenient" is closest in meaning to "______".
A. useful
B. normal
C. suitable
D. easy
（2）Compared with traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in ______. A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water （3）The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects （方面）EXCEPT ______.
A. business
B. health care
C. traffic controlling
D. public transportation （4）What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Digital technologies help improve city planning.
B. Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.
C. Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander.
D. Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.

7．阅读理解
Except for a few times, Americans are not big present-givers. There's no exchange of presents among business people, and if one American tries to give another a present, it may look like that he wants to bribe（贿赂） him. Americans have learned that in some other countries people like to give presents to others, but among ourselves we don't see the need for presents.
Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go to foreign countries, I try to bring back little things for close friends, but nobody would feel unhappy if I didn't. I don't often remember a friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get unpleasant. But a present from a foreigner-that kind from his or her homeland-won't go wrong, except to government employees（政府职员） who can't be given presents.
You usually open a present at once and in front of the person who gives it except Christmas and birthday presents. You should only say, "It's so n ice. Thanks…" when you get Christmas or birthday presents.
You may want to bring a bottle of wine（葡萄酒） or flowers to a dinner party, but you're never asked to. Nobody will mind if you bring wine, but your friend may not use it that evening.
At Christmas we often give presents to our family and sometimes our friends. We also give presents to people who have been helpful during the year—doormen, babysitters, housecleaners, newspaper senders—anyone who has often helped us.
（1）What kind of presents don't Americans usually open in front of the givers?
A. The small presents.
B. Christmas or birthday presents.
C. The expensive presents.
D. The presents for dinner party.
（2）Which of the following do you think is RIGHT?
A. American business people don't want presents because they are rich enough.
B. The writer of this passage must be an American.
C. Everyone must give presents to one's family and friends at Christmas.
D. Government employees can get little presents from a foreigner.
（3）What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Present-giving in the United States.
B. Customs（习俗） in the United States.
C. American people and present-giving.
D. When and how to give presents.
【答案】（1）B
（2）B

"I am a selfish child.
I hope the sunshine lies only upon me, so I can feel its warmth.
I am a selfish child.
I hope there is a corner of the world that can comfortable for me when I am sad,
I am a selfish child.
I hope my mom belongs only to me, so I can enjoy the sweetness of love. "
This poem was written by a middle school student in a lonely mountains town in Yunnan
Province during her first poetry class. The girl missed her mother, who died when she was 5. Kang Yu, the teacher who taught the girl how to write the poem, graduated from Renmin University of China in Beijing in 2015.

Mark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T-shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.
Harvard Business School researcher, Francesca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive （积极的）effect. And she's done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops in Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well-dressed in designer clothes.
Do people always view less formal （正式的） clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well-cut suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What's the difference? He's wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you're wearing could mean the difference between life and death.
It seems that our clothing doesn't only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students' ability to pay attention to details （细节）, the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why? Researchers told them that they were wearing the doctors' coats. The experiment didn't show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors' coats a must of fashion.

Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful
garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.
"Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."
She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.
"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before," she said, a little confused.
She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words "DRINK ME" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said "POISON".
So she put the bottle to her lips and drank.
"Mmm, ifs nice," she said. It tasted like cherry tart, pineapple, roast turkey and toast-all the things that she liked to eat-so she drank some more. And some more. Soon the bottle was empty. "What a curious feeling," she said. "I'm getting smaller and smaller.'" It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah.
"Good! I can go through the door into the garden," she said. But, poor Alice! When she got to the door, she didn't have the key! It was on the table. She couldn't reach it because she was too small now. She sat down and cried.
After a while she said, "Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!"
When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words "EAT ME" on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.
"If I grow bigger I can reach the key," she thought. "And if I grow smaller I can go under the door."

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some suggestions for you to bridge generation gap（代沟）. Don't argue with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry.

Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree（有分歧） on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a car. They argued over it, but finally they came to a compromise. Michael bought the car, but only drove it on certain days. Of course your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person.

B Every 30 seconds there is an earthquake. But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt. Only a few big ones hurt people. Many earthquakes happened in China, such as the big one in Sichuan in 2008. Thousands of people died in it. So it's important to know what to do when one hits. Here are some tips on how to stay safe in an earthquake. 1. If you are indoors during an earthquake, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows and anything that could fall on you. 2. If you are outdoors, move to a clear place. Try to be away from trees, signs, buildings and streetlights. These could fall on you. 3. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don't try to run outside and rush for exits (出口). Everyone will be doing that and you'll find it hard getting out. Don't get into a lift during an earthquake. Just hide under some strong cover near you. 4. When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks may still happen. These are just as dangerous as the earthquake itself. So stay under the desk until you make sure it's safe to get up. 5. If you are at home and you smell gas (煤气), open the windows and get out of the building as quickly as you can. A gas line in your house may be broken. This could be very dangerous. 51. Most earthquakes are too _______ to hurt people. A. strong B. weak C. dangerous 52. If you are outdoors, it would be safe to _______.

C Raising pets is a popular online game among teenagers. “More than 20 of my classmates have adopted(领养) pets online.” Said Wang Hui from Beijing. If you go to some websites, you can adopt virtual(虚拟的) pets like penguins(企鹅), chickens, dogs and elephants. You can feed, wash, talk to and play with your pet.
