Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, Ican’t peel(去皮) potatoes. I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for any thing again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her determined look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. On the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She sto od by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow (肘). Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung (梯级) I reached.I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom,”I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn't hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking.

Many people work togetherto bring a play to life. There are playwrights, directors, set designers, costumers, lighting technicians, and, of course, actors. If the performamce is a musical, the skills of a songwriter, a choreographer, and musicians are also required. The excitement of opening night can be felt by the people waiting to watch a performance and by the performers and workers backstage waiting for the curtain to go up. Live theater is thrilling because no one really knows how well the play will go until it is performed.The word theater comes from the Greek theatron, which means “a place for seeing”. One concept from Greek theater that is still seen in some plays today is the “Greek Chorus”. This consists of several actors or characters watching the action of the play ( almost like the audience ) and then commenting on what they just saw with either reactions or dialogue.Although most people think of the theater in terms of a play performed on the stage, theater has taken on a much broader meaning in the modern world. You may find yourself walking into a theater with no seats in the rows. Instead, you are seated among the set pieces, which makes you part of the setting. Sometimes theater may come to life on a street corner, or in a classroom. The excitement of theater is in its nature---it is an art form that changes as it is interpreted (诠释) in different ways by different people. That is probably why the works of the greatest playwright of all time, William Shakespeare, are still performed and enjoyed today, both in classic and new interpretations.28．What does the word “richest” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．diverse B．wealthy C．terrifying D．entertaining 29．Why is live theater so exciting according to the text?A．Plays are usually well written.B．It is often interpreted by skilled actors.C．No one can predict its success or failure.D．There are so many people working on it.30．What is suggested about the plays of Shakespeare in the text?A．They are more often given new interpretations today than in the past.B．They are more popular today than during Shakespeare’s time.C．They will always be considered the world’s greatest.D．They have been performed in a variety ways.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.Start with your interest.31 . You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial (武术) arts, computers, or fashion design. You name it, there are books about it.Pick your type.Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 32 . Many of them read like novels from start to finish.Read the description.The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praisedthe book. 33 .Find a family favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 34 . Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.Find a quiet place and make time for the book.35 . You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re readi ng something you love!A. How about your brothers and sisters?B. They tell stories using facts —but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.D. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it.E. Oft en, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.F.

I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. “If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said wecan bring Richard home !”“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat.

D．Disappointment. 12.What is the passage mainly about ?A．A sad Christmas day B．Life with a lovely babyC．A special Christmas gift. D．Memories of a happy familyDIt’s clearly become a trend in schools around the world to ban(禁止) students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince George's school in South London, isn't intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Let’s face it. You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful（难受的）because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,”Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions betweenGlen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.13.Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A. To make students concentrate on their studies.B. To encourage students to make more friends.C. To prevent students from falling in love at a young age.D. To discourage students from having a close relationship.14.Why are some kids feeling awful according to Greenberg?A. Their best friends have moved house.B. They are banned from making best friends.C. They are under great pressure from study.D. Their best friends have started new friendships.15.What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. MistakeB. DifficultyC. DisadvantageD. Burden16.What would be Jay Jacobs’ attitude to Greenberg’s idea?A. SupportiveB. DoubtfulC. OpposedD. Unconcerned.第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

You can’t ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you can’t really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids having more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful （难受的）because they are either nobody’s best friend or their best friend has moved on,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and children go in different directi ons.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests chang e, and children go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “It’s about promoting kin dness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to be aware of what it looks like when you’re not,” Jacobs says.13.Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?A.
