The library, which was built in 1945, houses a vastcollection of books, magazines, and multimedia resources. However, in recent years, the library has faced a significant challenge: a steady decline in the number of young people visiting the facility.The decline in young visitors can be attributed to several factors. First, the rise of digital media has led many young people to prefer online entertainment over traditional reading. Second, the town’s youth are increasingly mobile, spending more time in the nearby city for shopping, dining, and social activities. Finally, the library’s outdated technology and lack of interactive programs have failed to attract the attention of the younger generation.In an effort to reverse this trend, the library’s board of directors has decided to take a bold step. They have hired a young librarian named Emily, who is passionate about technology and community engagement. Emily’s vision is to transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that caters to the needs of today’s youth.One of Emily’s first initiatives is to set up a “Tech Zone” where young people can access the latest gadgets and software for learning and entertainment. She also plans to introduce a series of interactive programs, such as coding workshops, gaming nights, and film discussions. Additionally, Emily wants to partner with local schools and businesses to create a more integrated approach to education and community life.The community has shown mixed reactions to Emily’s plans. Some residentsare excited about the potential for revitalizing the library and attracting young people back. Others worry that the changes might alienate older members of the community who have enjoyed the library in its traditional form.Questions:1.What are the three main reasons for the decline in young people visiting the library in Seaside Cove?A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.B) Lack of interactive programs, the library’s outdated appearance, and high fees.C) The popularity of sports activities, the closure of local businesses, and the lack of a swimming pool.D) The absence of a café, the lack of air conditioning, and the smell of old books.2.What is Emily’s role at the library and what is her main goal?A) To manage the book collection and encourage more donations.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.C) To organize book clubs and reading challenges for all ages.D) To replace all the old books with new releases and popular fiction.3.How has the community responded to Emily’s plans for the library?A) They have unanimously supported the changes and are eager to see them implemented.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.C) The majority of residents are indifferent to the changes, but a small groupis excited about the potential benefits.D) The community has organized a protest against the changes, claiming they are unnecessary and disruptive.Answers:1.A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.2.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.3.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.三、完型填空（15分）Section 3: Cloze TestRead the following passage and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank.

The past perfect tense is used here to express the sequence of events.“Was invited” would imply a present state, “invited” is in the simple past tense, and “has invited” is in the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for describing a past event.3、In the summer of 2022, we went on vacation and___________to a small village in the countryside.A. decidedB. was decidingC. had decidedD. have decidedAnswer: C. had decidedExplanation: The correct answer is “had decided” because the sentence indicates a past action (going on vacation) that was completed before another past action (deciding to go to the village). The past perfect tense is used to show this sequence of past actions.4、If I___________to the store earlier, I would have bought the milk before it went bad.A. would goB. wentC. had goneD. goAnswer: C. had goneExplanation: The correct answer is “had gone” because the sentencedescribes a conditional situation where the speaker is expressing a past action that would have had a result in the past (buying the milk before it went bad). The past perfect tense is used here to indicate the past condition.5.The cat is sleeping on the _5__ chair in the room.A. redB. redsC. red’sD. reds’Answer: A. redExplanation: The correct form is “red” because it is used as an adjective to describe the color of the chair. The possessive form, such as “red’s” or “reds’”, would not be appropriate in this context.6.She _6__ her homework before she went to bed last night.A. has finishedB. finishedC. have finishedD. finishingAnswer: B. finishedExplanation: The correct form is “finished” because the sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened at a specific time in the past. The present perfect tense “has finished” and the incorrect forms “have finished” and “finishing” are not suitable for this context.7.In the__________(be) room, there are many books on different subjects.答案：7. being解析：根据句意，空格处描述的是房间的一个状态，因此需要使用现在分词形式作定语。

In order to improve my grades, we should be a good learner. So learning methods are very important to every student. Now I’d like to share my opinions about learning methods with you.Firstly, to get good grades, you should have a good study plan and you have to sum up what you have learned often. Secondly, you can solve problems with the help of reference books such as a dictionary. And you should seize every chance to learn and make use of all kinds of learning resources. Finally, it would be a good idea if you try to preview your new lessons before class and listen to the teachers carefully in class. There are other methods that might help you with your study, but remember that diligence and good methods are the keys to success.。

Watch TV, play computer games, or go outside to relax? Here’s a good example.Tim and Kerry Meek are both teachers. They live in the UK with their two daughters, 11-year-old Amy and 9-year-old Ella. Recently, the Meek family has become the focus of the UK after they completed 100 different outdoor activities in one year.Tim and Kerry didn’t want their children to spend all their free time in front of the TV and become “couch tomatoes”. So about one year ago, the Meeks decided that watching TV and playing computer games were not permitted. Instead, they set 100 tasks for the two girls to do outside. Although Mr and Mrs Meek are not outdoor activity fans, they took part in all the activities to encourage their daughters.Every holiday and weekend, whether it’s sunny, rainy or snowy, th e Meeks would set off to try the activities on their list, including hiking, sailing, climbing and skiing.

The few people walking along that street were hurrying, trying to keep warm. At the door of the shop stood the man who had come a thousand miles to meet a friend, Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, they agreed to meet here tonight. Such a meeting could not be certain. But he waited.About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long coat came hurrying across the street. He went directly to the waiting man.“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried Bob.The new man took Bob’s hands in his. “It’s Bob! It surely is. I was certain I would find you here if you were still alive. Twenty years is a long time. The old restaurant is gone, Bob. I wish it were here, so that we could have another din ner in it. Has the West been good to you?”“It gave me everything I asked for. You’ve changed, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall.”“Oh, I grew a little after I was twenty.”“Are you doing well in New York, Jimmy?”“Well enough. I work for the city. Come on, Bob. We’ll go to a place I know, and have a good long talk about old times.”The two men started along the street, arm in arm. Bob, the man from the West, was beginning to tell the story of his life. The other, with his coat up to his ears, listened with interest.At the corner stood a shop bright with electric lights. When they came near, each turned to look at the other’s face.The man from the West stopped suddenly and pulled his arm away. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he said. “Twenty years is a lon g time, but not long enough to change the shape of a man’s nose.”“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, Bob. Chicago policemen thought you might be coming to New York. They told us to watch for you. Are you coming with me quietly? That’s wise. But first here is something I was asked to give you. You may read it here at the window. It’s from a policeman named Wells.”1．Where did the story happen?A．In New York. B．In Chicago. C．In the West.

It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr Gruber smiled,“but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus(与…比较) success.” “Getting everything yo uneed, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a che cking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”1．What class did Mr Gruber teach?A．History B．ScienceC．Maths D．Business2．Which student didn’t seem to be taking the class seriously?A．Tom B．JamesC．Peter D．Sandy3．How did Mr Gruber make his class lively and interesting?A．He himself kept talking.B．He just read from a textbook.C．He showed a movie to his students.D．He got his students to take part in a discussion.4．What do you think of Mr Gruber according to the passage?A．Strange B．PatientC．Shy D．Proud5．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Get What Y ou Want B．Needs and WantsC．Try to Get More Money D．How to Live WellF18、Students in our school have a colorful school life.

Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored(调味)with fruits.Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy. In France cooks changed the ice recipe(配方)and made ice cream.At first，cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America. Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand of ice cream was even named after her.In the late 1800s，the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting(融化)any more.51. When did ice cream become well-known in many countries?A. In the1200s.B. In the 1500s.C. In the 1600s.D. In the 1900s.52. Who do you think was the most important person in the history of ice cream?A. Marco Polo.B. Dolly Madison.C. Thomas Jefferson.D. George Washington.53. Why can ice cream be sold everywhere today?A. Because people can afford to buy it.B. Because there are many recipes for it.C. Because it is easy to keep it frozen.D. Because many people like ice cream.BAs we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story.“Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirate s at the fort(堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit(坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.”At the top of the bea ch, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the squire. He was pleasant and kind tome, with no praise or blame.“John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a villain. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.”“Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him.And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say.54. Where was the treasure at first?A. In the fortB. In the caveC. Under the pine treeD. On the ship55. What does the underlined word “villain” mean?A. suspectB. criminalC. thiefD. witness56.

Over seventeen people died because of the treasure.CThe painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London planning to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret---because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top." Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colours---you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to."Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.58. In the passage, the writer is trying to _____ .A. describe particular works by Craigie AitchisonB. teach readers how to paint like Craigie AitchisonC. introduce the artist Craigie Aitchison to the readersD. explain how Craigie Aitchison has made money from painting59. What can the reader learn about Aitchison from the passage?A. He works in a different way from other artists.B. He often gets bored easily with his paintings.C. He found the drawing classes easy at art school.D. He was sure what his painting was like before drawing.60. Aitchison prefers models who don't _____ .A. keep moving around while he's workingB. ask him about his strange method of workingC. worry about how long the work will takeD. feel worried to see the work as it's developing61. What might a visitor at an exhibition say about Aitchison's work?五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）66.Diana was a little fat in the past. But now she is much ▲than before. (瘦的)67.

It is the latest bestseller by British writer Jojo Moyes. The book has been made into a movie. British actress Emilia Clark and actor Sam Caflin play the lead roles in the movie.There are two main characters in this book. One is Louisa Clark, or Lou, a girl who has lost her job at a cafe. The other is William Traynor, or Will, a young man who has become disabled after a motorcycle accident.Lou ends up taking a job where she has to take care of Will. At first, they don't like each other very much. However, they gradually become good friends. But this happiness only lasts a few days.While I read the book, I couldn't help but notice its language. There were a lot of descriptions to show what the characters are feeling. There are also many detailed descriptions of the environments around the characters. For example, Moyes writes "I saw it was bigger than I had imagined, red brick with a double front…"，describing how surprised Lou is when she sees Will's house for the first time.At the end of the book, Will writes "Just live well, just live" in a letter. This short line is the last thing that Will writes to Lou. It shows Will's deep feelings about life. He wants her to live life to the utmost(竭尽全力)－the very thing he had wanted to do before he had his accident.1. What do we know about the book Me Before You?A. It is about childhood memories.B. It has been made into a movie.C. It has one main character.D. It was written by a US writer.2. Which of the following is TRUE about William Traynor?A. He was born with a disability.B. He lost his arms in a car accident.C. He knew Louisa Clark before the accident.D. He became disabled after an accident.3. Why did the writer write this story?A. To introduce a book.B. To advertise a movie.C. To introduce a writer.D. To tell a love story.B“How did you know I had a visitor with me?” asked Watson in amazement. “I sometimes believe you have eyes in the back of your head!”“I don’t, but I do have a very well polished silver coffeepot in front of me!” Holmes laughed. “And whom do I have the pleasure of greeting?” he asked.“I am Dr. James Mortimer, Mr. Holmes. It concerns the death of my good friend and patient, Sir Charles Baskerville. Sir Charles Baskerville had no children, so his entire estate(财产) now pass to his nephew, Sir Henry Baskerville, who has been living in America for many years.” Dr. Mortimer took a letter out of his pocket which was given to him by Sir Charles just before his death 3 months ago. “ If I may, I should like to read the letter to you.” He adjusted his glasses.“Baskerville Hall, 1742. To my sons, Rodger and John. The legend（传说，传奇）has been told by my father who was told by his father before him.

Standing over Hugo’s body was a huge black beast（野兽）tearing out his throat（喉咙）.“I really don’t like fairy tales ”said Holmes. “What exactly is it you want me to do?”“I need you to advise me what to do with Sir Henry Baskerville who’s arriving here today”.4.What was the letter about that Dr. Mortimer read to Watson and Holmes?A.

The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature，wetness，air quality and nutrition. It could be in a building in New York or in a desert in Sahara.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities，and nearly half of those are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices are buffeted by，floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport it. And prices will only get more changeable. Farmers in many parts of the world already are using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded by mid-century，the world's population will grow front 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require more farmland , as a result , forests and wilderness(荒地)are becoming fewer and fewer.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the idea of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and houseplants in enclosed(封闭的)environments. In their research station , water flows into the fields when needed，and the temperature is kept the same. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night，but according to the needs of the plants.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层)of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140,000 people. Their idea isn' t to grow foods that require much space，like corn or potatoes. Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific(特定地)light to grow. Their growth speed is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoor agriculture. And city farming means producing food near the citizens, and there's no need to transport it long distances.7. The underlined word "buffeted" in Paragraph 2 means_____ .A. badly influencedB. causedC. dividedD. well achieved8. Which of the following is TRUE of the environments in the research station?A. The temperature is often changed.B. Sunshine is in great need for plants.C. Day and night depends on plants.D. Air quality is controlled by plants.9. It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws's farming .A. is of great help to the people who live in the cityB. saves less water compared with outdoor agricultureC. is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD. requires much space and suits the production of corn10. What is the passage mainly about?A. Disadvantages of outdoor farmingB. Development of greenhouse farmingC. The world's food problemsD. Sunless，rainless indoor farming四、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）36.

These days, the 29-year-old is standing her ground as a superhero.Larson plays Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, in the movie of the same name. As a superhero, she has many superpowers, such as being able to fly as fast as light. The movie has become a huge success.When Larson was offered the role, she didn’t accept it at the beginning. ‘I am not a person with much confidence. So, I needed a little bit of time to see if I can do it…’ she said. La rson is no stranger to Hollywood, but it’s one thing to win an Oscar and another thing totally to star in a Marvel movie. She had no idea about playing a superhero. There would be lots of promotional (推广) interviews. Facing all of these, she decided to go out of comfort zone (舒适区). ‘I was gonna push myself to do things that I never thought I could do. I challenged myself. ’ she said.Larson trained for nine months. She learned kungfu, practiced weightlifting and so on. But the biggest challenge was that she had to work with a cat –an animal that she was afraid of. ‘I was sick the whole time, but I insisted to work with it by myself. I was fine.’Varity magazine spoke highly of her acting. By playing Captain Marvel, Larson discovered her own weaknesses and turned them into confidence. Even just watching her recent interviews, one can tell from her body language that she had found something she didn’t have much before.单选：1-5 ABCBD 6-10 CCBBA 11-15 DBBDC完形1-5 BCDBA 6-10 CACBA阅读BDA ACB ACAD词汇36.controlling 37.discussed 38.customers’ 39.achievement 40.repairing41.nineties 42.happiness 43.impatient 44.decision 45.inventors’首字母46.Of 47.poor 48. with e 50.Saying51.from 52. doubted 53. tired 54. great 55.realized任务型阅读56. leave57. be/become58. creates59. succeed60. donated61. speed62. refused63. sure/certain64. remain/stay65. confident写作例文Dear Amy,I’m really happy to have your email. Thanks for your care. The epidemic situation is really serious. I haven’t been out for days. I've been staying at home because it’s the safest way. So have other people. If we go out, we must wear a mask, and when we come back, we must take our temperature at the gate of the communities. All the doctors and nurses are fighting with the novel coronavirus all day and all night on the front lines. And I believe we can defeat it in the near future. Because I believe that as long as we work together, nothing is impossible.Although the school has not started yet, we have been studying at home all the time. The teachers give us lessons online and help us solve problems. This way is more convenient for me, because I don't have to waste time on my way to school, and I can have more time to study. I have been reviewing all the lessons carefully every day, preparing for the entrance examination of my senior high school.I hope you can also take care of your health and keep healthy.Yours,Li Hua。

While we were waiting, two young men came in and began to order, “ 1 cups of coffee, please. Two of them for us and three there on the wall.” The waiter served them with respect (尊敬).

They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feeling quite sure about his calculations(计算), added up the things again. To his surprise, he found that it should have been but two dollars.“I've made her pay six and a quarter cents more,” said young Abe, upset.It was an unimportant thing, and many salespersons would forget it, but Abe was too careful for that.The money must be paid back, he decided.At night, he closed the store and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincoln's strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young man weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales(磅砰). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out four ounces of the tea, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe", was well deserved(应得的).（1）What did Abraham Lincoln use to he when he was young according to the passage?A.A teacher.B.A farmer.C.A storekeeper.D.A president.（2）When young Abe found he made a wrong calculation, he ________.A.tried to forget itB.paid over the moneyC.felt it was unimportantD.gave hack the short weight（3）When did he find his mistake in the second story?A.At the end of that day.B.In the middle of that day.C.At the end of the next day.D.At the beginning of the next day.（4）What can we know from the second story?A.Abe wasn't worried by this discovery.B.Abe didn't notice he put a four-ounce weight on the scales.C.Abe gave the customer enough weight at last.D.Abe gave his customer short weight on purpose.（5）We can know that Abe was ________ from the passage.A.easy to get worriedB.confident but carelessC.honest and responsibleD.funny but well behaved13.阅读理解Bike Rentals (租赁)A.A shop where people can buy bikes.B.A shop where people can rent bikes.C.A shop where people can mend bikes.D.A shop where people can paint bikes.（2）Where is Alexanderplatz?A.At the train station.B.Under the TV tower.C.In the parking area.D.Near the Zoo entrance.（3）When can we rent a bike?A.At 6:30.B.At 8:00.C.At 14:00.D.At 21:00.（4）How much is it if you keep the bike for two days?A.$7.B.$10.C.$12.D.$22.（5）Which statement is TRUE?A.If you want to rent bikes, you can call 650-968-3575.B.If you live near our shop, we offer some deliveries for free.C.If you rent more than one hike, you can save money for the second one.D.If you live outside of the shop's delivery area, you should pay $8 for delivery.14.阅读理解Many kids help parents to do chores such as washing the dishes, cleaning the floors and taking out the trash in the house. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(奖赏) for doing chores. One of them is Susie Walton, a parenting educator. She believes that if kids get rewards, they will think that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won't sweep the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it. “Every house is a team effort,” Susie said. “A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities to keep our home clean.Other people have different opinions. They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores. It also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. Now, there are also apps(应用软件) that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world. With the Chore Monster app, kids earn digital points after doing chores. Kids can exchange their poin ts for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards," says Chris Bergman, founder of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive(积极的) power to make them do chores.What do you think? Should kids be rewarded for doing chores? Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.（1）How does the author start the passage?A.By giving some facts.B.By listing some opinions.C.By comparing different views.D.By showing his own experiences.（2）Which of the following is Susie Walton's opinion?A.Don't ask kids to do housework.B.Don't reward kids for doing anything.C.Don't give kids rewards for doing chores.D.Don't allow kids to play computer games.（3）What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.How to earn money by doing chores.B.The apps that encourage kids to do chores.C.How to exchange their points for real rewards.D.The advantage of rewarding kids for doing chores.（4）What's the meaning of the underlined word “motivate” in the passage?A.remindB.encourageC.preventD.warn（5）What is the purpose of writing the text?A.To call on readers to do more chores.B.To tell readers of two different opinions.C.To invite readers to express their opinions.D.To show the author's views about doing chores.四.任务型阅读15.任务型阅读You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not realize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them run away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand. She decided that a machine could do the job faster. So, in 1886, she began to make one for herself.Here are the steps to create inventions. The first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by looking at what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, “I wish some one would invent something for...” Then you might notice situations(情况) or things in need of improvement. The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution to a problem by looking at it from a different side.The hardest part of inventing is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention. This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?（1）Josephine Cochrane found it took too long to wash her dishes ________.（2）用英语表达文中画线单词one所指代的内容:________（3）找出并写下第三段的主题句:________（4）What is the hardest part of inventing?________（5）将文中画线句子译成汉语:________五.短文填空16.根据短文内容及所给提示, 补全文中单词或用所给单词的正确形式填空。

with you．But first，let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States．Check the weather before coming!I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris．It was a huge mistake!It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley．I have to say that I quickly forgot these unlucky events．Life in Berkeley is very pleasant and everything is so easy compared to Paris．For example，in only 24hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lease（租约） agreement for a flat．What’s more，almost all the shops are open on Sunday，which is very practical for me．The first thing that surprised me is that students may come late to class．They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class，In France，students respect the teacher’s lesson，so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class．The local people in California are in general very nice，open and active，However，I am not totally used to their habits yet．Indeed，I was used to shaking my friends’hands every day in France．During my second day at Berkeley，I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me“I think we already met!”Another funny story happened during the first party I attended：A girl that I meet before came to hug me．I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello．So I kissed her and she seemed a little bit embarrassed．I live a great experience at present，and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at

relationship between classmates．C．His advice on studying abroad．D．The difference in attending a class．34．Your body is special﹣no two people in the world are alike，Although you are different from everyone else，you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you，doing different jobs that keep all of us alive．What is inside my head？Your head houses the most valuable part of your body﹣your brain．As you are reading，your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see．Your brain helps you to remember and think，and makes sure your body is doing what it should．What is my skin（皮肤） for？Your skin covers your body．In most parts of your body，the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter．If you have your skin cut，it will have a quick cure and stop viruses from getting into your body．Your skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you．Hair grows from inside the skin．When you feel hot，extra heat comes out through your skin．As a result，your body temperature drops．How do I move？Muscles（肌肉） are found in most parts of your body．They work with your bones to help you move ﹣whenever you cry or smile，eat or speak，walk or dance，etc．Why do I breathe？Your body needs to take in oxygen from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide in the body．When you breathe，air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs（肺） where oxygen flows to different parts of your body．What makes me sneeze？When dust or a strong smell gets into your nose，you sneeze．This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose．Your lungs push out the air and try to clear your nose．What does my heart do？Your heart is a very special muscle．It is slightly bigger than your fist （拳头） and grows bigger as you do．If you place your hand on your heart，you will feel your heart beating which forces blood to move around your body．34．The underlined word“houses”in the passage probably means ．A．storesB．locksC．createsD．builds35．If you have no skin covering your body，what would happen？A．Extra heat can only stay inside our body．B．Viruses can’t get into our body easily．C．We can’t feel the changes in temperature．D．Our body can be guarded by our hair．36．What is the true fact about your body？A．Our heart is the same size from birth．B．We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive．C．Our muscles stop working when we nod．D．Sneezing is a way to clear our nose．37．Which is the best title for this passage？A．What Your Body NeedsB．How Your Body WorksC．Why Your Body GrowsD．When Your Body Moves．第四部分词汇检测（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子及所给汉语注释或通过上下文，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式．每空只写一词．38．Our government has made laws to （限制） air and water pollution．39．Although you are young，you can （仍然） make the

考查动词用法及语境辨析．根据后句they show us the people at that time thought the earth flat （它们向我们展示出那时人们认为地球是平的），可知前句应表达的是其中一些在中东幸存下来的地图，只有这样我们才能了解到这一点．结合选项应用形容词survive，意为“幸存”，此处使用的是在现在完成时中的过去分词survived．故选B．17．C 考查副词用法及语境辨析．根据关键词more detailed（更详细的）中间用and连接，应为并列关系，所以后面的意义也应该表达地图进步之意，结合选项的含义：slowly副词慢地；simply副词简单地；correctly副词正确地；carelessly副词粗心地；很显然，此处应该用副词correctly修饰动词made，指地图的绘制越来越详细和正确．故选C．18．A 考查名词用法及语境辨析．根据后面的关键词 of math and science联系实际可知此处应是指古希腊人利用数学和科学知识制作地图，故此处用名词knowledge知识．故选A．19．D 考查形容词用法及语境辨析．根据前句ancient Greeks（希腊人） used their knowledge of math and science to make maps可知古希腊人运用数学和科学知识绘制的地图肯定是比较先进的，以前的人们认为地球是平的，故猜测这个时候希腊人已经知道地球是圆的，结合选项，故用形容词round，圆的．故选D．20．B 考查介词用法及语境辨析．根据前句的前提mapmaking has turned into a science（制作地图已经变成了一种科学）并联系后句Maps are made…surveying（勘测）land肯定是说地图的用途，联系are made 可知此句为一般现在时的被动语态，这里是表达地图被用于做什么，结合后面的动名词surveying可知此处应用介词by，指运用地图的方式，此句是指地图被用于勘测土地．故选B．21．C 考查比较级用法及语境辨析．根据people around the world started to share information 可知在世界各地的人们开始分享信息的情况下应当能制作出更好的地图，结合选项应该用good的比较级better．故选C．22．D 考查连词用法及语境辨析．根据后句we will always need new maps．（我们将一直需要新地图）可知此句是上句引起的结果，所以上句应表达为什么需要新地图的原因，结合选项的意义，只有连词since有“因为”之意，后引导原因状语从句，此句是指因为世界总是变化，所以我们将一直需要新地图．故选D．23．C 考查名词用法及语境辨析．根据关键部分…and pictures to describe what a place is like．．可知尽管地图有多种，但是绝大部分还是用…和图画去描述一个地方的特征；结合地图的特点，根据所给词的词义可知这里应用名词words“文字“去表达才符合实际，意为地图用文字和图画去描述一个地方．故选C．24．A 考查动词短语用法及语境辨析．根据下文所举的例子Some maps may show the whole world，A road map…Other maps may use pictures to show…都是在说不同的地图图片的重要性；结合所在句子的语境A map usually tells what the pictures…并联系地图的功能可知地图通常告诉我们图片代表什么，结合选项故用动词短语stand for“代表”．故选A．25．B 考查名词用法及语境辨析．根据关键词A road map （路线图）及from one place to another．可知路线图当然就是帮助我们知道两地之间的距离的地图，所以此处应用名词distance表距离．故选B．第三部分阅读理解（共4小题；每小题4分，满分24分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．26．CoffeeOur dad’s just bought a coffee machine，The most unusual

I told the family we co uldn’t do anything for Coco, and euthanasia (安乐死) would be best for the dog.On that day, they little boy Eric seemed so calm , petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if Eric understood what was going on.The little boy seemed to accept Coc o’s death without any difficulty. We sat together for a while after Coco's death, explaining that animal lives are shorter than human lives.Eric, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."He said, "People need a lifetime to learn how to live a good life—like loving everybody and being nice, right?" Thesix-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."I’d never heard a more soft-hearted explanation as to why animal lives are so short. It has changed the way I live. I see everyday as the day that my life could be easily taken away, so I try to live my life to the fullest.1．What was the matter with Coco?.A．She had a stomachache.

D．She was hurt by her friend.2．Which of the following would be best for Coco in the clinic?A．Some delicious food.B．Euthanasia.C．A good friend.D．An interesting toy.3．Why Was Eric so calm while petting the dog for the last time?A．Because he didn’t know wha t was going on.B．Because he didn’t know how to face Coco’s death.C．Because he had another dog.D．Because he accepted Coco’s death.4．How can we understand Eric’s words?.A．He thought people already knew how to love others all the time and be nice.B．He thought dogs already knew how to love others all the time and be nice.C．He didn’t think people knew how to love dogs.D．He didn’t think dog knew how to love people.5．According to the passage, we can infer that ______.A．the vet didn’t do anything for CocoB．the vet makes an effort to live a lifeC．the vet has lived a fullest lifeD．the vet will keep more dogsB14、Circle 0 if the statement is not true of your child.

Once I think of him, many things happen-ing between us will be crowded into my 1 . But there is one thing I remember very well. It was a Sunday morning, I felt terrible. Two of my friends have gone to the movies and didn’t 2 me. I was in my room thinking up ways to make them sorry when my father came in."Want to go for a ride today, Black? It's a beautiful day. " "No! Leave me alone （独自的）！"Those were the 3 words I said to him that morning.My friends called me and asked me to go to the store with them 4 hours later.

For example, the tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable. It is one of the useful plants that can be prepared in many ways. It has rich nutrition(营养) and vitamin (维他命) in it. But in the 18th century, Americans never ate tomatoes. They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty. But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的). They called tomatoes “poison apples”.President(总统) Thomas Jefferson, however, knew that tomatoes were good to eat. He was a learned man. He had been to Paris, where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes. He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup was served at the President’s party. The guests thought the soup tasted really good. They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples. Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.1．After you read the passage, which of the following do you think is true?A．Americans never ate tomatoes in the 18th century while they began to plant them.B．Americans didn’t eat tomatoes before 19th century.C．Even now Americans don’t eat tomatoes.D．In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.2．The passage tells us that Jefferson was a President of ______?A．a European country B．England C．France D．the United States3．Jefferson learned that tomatoes were good to eat ___.A．while he was in Paris B．when he was a little boyC．because his parents told him so D．from books4．From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were _____.A．people from other countries B．from FranceC．people of his own country D．men only5．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．All of the guests knew the soup that was served at the President’s party was made of tomatoes.B．All of the guests thought the soup which was prepared by the President’s cook was nice.C．All of the guests thought the taste of the beautiful pink soup was nice.D．All the guests didn’t know that their president would serve his honored guests with “poison apples”B14、Japanese children are so happy because they have three festivals each year. Besides Boy's Day, they also have Girl's Day and the 7-5-3 Festival.May 5th is Japanese Children's Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy's Day. On Boy's Day, children don't have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags. The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother) and blue (standing for the son ). Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.Girl's Day is a girls' festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Doll's Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.The 7-5-3 Festival is for children aged three, five and seven. Japanese people think that these three ages are the luckiest ones in one's life. On that day, these children get special candies wrapped (包裹) in beautiful bags.

The buyer doesn’t know which one they’ve gotten until they open the package. In recent years it becomes big business in China.During the Double 11 shopping day, Pop Mart, a leading blind box company in China, sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on Tmall in just 9 seconds, according to a Tmall report.One reason for their popularity is the appealing (诱人的) appearance inside the boxes. They’re like small cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoration. But another, perhaps more important reason people like them is the fun of being surprised.“The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the gap between what you expect and what you get,” said wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing.Last year, over 200,000 Chinese customers spent more than 20,000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z, or those born after 1995, according to a report by Tmall.21．What can you get from a blind box?A．The toy printed on the box.B．A cartoon character you choose. C．One of the toys in a series.D．A decoration just for your house. 22．Why are the blind boxes so popular?A．The toys Pop Mart makes are people’s favourite.B．People enjoy the surprise before opening the box.C．Blind box collectors has made a great influence.D．These boxes are really a good choice as presents.Have you ever bought something and then changed your mind? For Alison Jenson, 15, this used to happen several times a week. Alison was a shopaholic. She just couldn’t stopshopping and she loved special offers.Alison’s bedroom is full of stuff. “I’ve been to every shop in Birmingham, I think,” says Alison. She picks up some earrings. The labels are still on them. “These were half price,” she says. “I’ve never won them.” Alison’s problem wasn’t just jewellery. She also bought a lot of clothes, though not many shoes, because they were usually too expensive. She has also bought lots of other small things-like 20 new covers for her phone. She hasn’t used any of them.According to experts, we all feel excited after we buy something new. For shopaholics, it’s a little different. Soon after they buy something, they think they’ve made a mistake and start to feel unhappy. So they buy themselves something else to feel happier.Psychologists(心理学家) first described the problems of shopaholics in 1915. However, there was very little research on the subject until recently. Now, doctors think thousands of people suffer from the problem, and the situation is getting worse. There are also more teenage shopaholics now, although most young people don’t have enough money to go shopping very regularly.Alison knew she had a problem. “I often bought something every day. Usually it was something small, but I just needed to buy it,” she says. “I spent money that I got for my birthday, and when I was short of cash, I borrowed money from friends or my parents. When I couldn’t go shopping, I felt anxious. Then one day, my parents just looked at all the stuff in my room and said, ‘This is crazy!’I knew they were right. I needed some big changes in my life.”Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed. She no longer thinks she’s a shopaholic. “When I want to buy something in a shop, I ask myself two questions,” she says. “Do I need it? Can I afford it? The answer to both questions is usually ‘no’, so I walk away. It’s great!”23．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to ________.A．psychologists B．doctors C．Alison’s friends D．Alison’s parents24．Which word can best describe Alison’s feeling at the end of the passage?A．Glad.B．Worried.C．Embarrassed.D．Moved. 25．What do experts say about shopaholics?A．Shopaholics feel sad when they are shopping.B．Shopaholics feel more excited than other people when they shop.C．Shopaholics soon feel unhappy after they have bought something.D．Shopping is the only way shopaholics can feel happy.26．The best title for the passage above might be ________.A．Shop Till You Drop!B．Shopping Makes Me Happy! C．You’d Better Shop Less!D．I Can Stop Shopping Now!Walking towards the house slowly, Emma stopped to cut off fading flowers or dead leaves now and then. There were few weeds (杂草). Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Emma wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside because she wanted to avoid talking to her.But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us, Emma told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Moreover, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read.“Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Emma asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.”Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.”“I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.”“I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons.” Emma said.“But I don’t want to spend a long time looking at kids’ drawings.”“What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?”“Grandma, I don’t know.” Y uki sighed.“What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead.”The minute Emma was going to point out that this was too careless a way to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.“I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said, “Let me know if there’ssomething else I can do.”On Yuki’s visit, Emma felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Y uki was never rude or irritable (易怒的). Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.27．We know from the article that Yuki was _________.A．a gardener B．an artist C．an art teacher D．a college student28．From the underlined sentence, we can infer (推断) that Yuki wanted to _________. A．weed the flowerbed B．finish the dialogueC．leave Emma’s garden D．take some photos29．It can be learnt from the passage that _________.A．Emma and Yuki had very different ideas about collegeB．Emma wasn’t satisfied with Yuki’s work in the gardenC．Emma and Yuki agreed on living together all the yearD．Yuki studied art because she wanted to be a teacherVisiting outer space is still a far dream for anyone who isn’t an astronaut, but a day trip to the stars is already open for people to order!A new company (公司), Space Perspective, is planning tests with passengers. It has big plans to run up to 500 flights from different places across the USA by 2024. If successful, reaching the outer side of space could be as easy as flying abroad in a few years’ time. The plan will be for spacemen and up to eight passengers to travel in Neptune, a capsule (太空舱) tied to a balloon the size of a football field.They will move slowly upwards right to the side of space, 30 km away from the Earth. There, space tourists will be able to look back at the Earth and out to dark space and the sight of millions of stars. Although the price is yet to be fixed, the expensive flight, which will take six hours, is likely to cost over £100, 000. Because the capsule remains within the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层), no special clothing or training are needed. It means that older people or those with health problems will be included.One problem may be the method of landing back on the Earth. The balloon moves back down from space until it falls down in the sea. Passengers, spacemen, capsule and balloon are then gotten back by ship.Now Neptune faces competition from the Stratollite, a balloon being developed by a company called World View Enterprises, while the super-rich Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk are all pouring money into developing business space flying machines. The advantage of the balloon is that it will be cheaper than a space plane or rocket.Space travel may soon be a reality (现实), but how visitors get there is still a very open question.30．We can see from the passage that Space Perspective ________.A．has completed over 500 tests B．makes it easier for us to fly abroad C．has quite a long history D．wants to use Neptune to carry people 31．According to Space Perspective’s plan, space tourists ________.A．should wear special clothing B．can watch the Earth from space C．will land back on the ground D．must keep in good health32．The writer implies (暗示) in the passage that ________.A．the race to get tourists into space is becoming hotB．there will be only four ways for visitors to reach spaceC．the Stratollite is popular with space passengersD．Richard, Jeff and Elon are all short of money四、阅读还原7选5How to Handle Being the New Kid at SchoolBeing the new kid at school can be a terrible experience!
