But once during a performance,every word 2 from my head. My teacher asked me to change roles and be the narrator （解说员）. Though I didn't tell my mother what had 3 that day, she felt my 4 and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions （蒲公英）coming out through the grass, just like a painter had touched our woods and fields with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down （弯腰） 5 some flowers. "I think I am going to dig up all the wild grass," she said. "But I like dandelions, all flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!" I said.My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower shines in 6 own way. And that is true of people, too,"she said. She had guessed my pain. I started to cry and told her the 7 . "You will be a beautiful narrator,"she said, 8 me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Over the next few weeks, I learned to take 9 in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. "Your mother asked me to give this to you,"she said, handing me a 10 . After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such wild grass.22三、阅读理解（40'）Dear David.Hi, my name is Rebecca and I am your new pen pal.

As a result, very few tasks or goals that I set out to achieve were ever completed.One evening, my mother called me into the family room. "I want you to read this article," Mother began. "It's about Mario Thomas. She tells how a simple poem that she was forced to learn by her father changed her life. She went from saying 'I can't' to 'I can'. According to this article, she was able to reorganize her life and her career by learning the principles （原则）in the poem.”I took the small magazine from Mother and looked down at the pages. There was Mario 一my idol. Beside her photo was the poem my mother had spoken of, a simple poem entitled, "I Can". "I want you to memorize that poem," Mother said firmly. "Mama," I belly-ached. "I can't24learn that poem. It's too long.""It's not too long and you can learn it. I want you to know it perfectly by this time tomorrow,"said my mother. Unwillingly, I went back to my bedroom with the magazine. With a heavy heart,I threw myself into the bed and began my task."Can't is a word that is the enemy to ambition", I began. I repeated the line. I repeated it again and again. "An enemy ambush to shatter your will..." I continued the process until I proudly recited the poem the following evening. It has now become my principle. Mario Thomas did not know me, but her story forever changed my life.Saying "I can" helped me to get through the worst moments of my life. Saying "I can" encouraged me to complete things I would have otherwise seen as out of my reach. A simple poem learned at seven is a poem that will support me to seventy-seven, maybe even longer.A.read an articleB.meet MarioC.write a poemD.take photosOne evening my mother asked me to_________ .（1）A.I was hungry B.I was relaxed C.I felt unhappy D.I ate too muchThe underlined part I belly-ached in Paragraph 3 probably means .（2）A.repeated the lines on TVB.read more stories about MarioC.proudly recited the poemD.had a long talk with my motherOn the following evening, I_________ .（3）A.B.C.D.What can we learn from the passage?Mario is very popular among teenagers.I become interested in poems all my life.Mario always encourages me to work hard.Saying "I can" has helped me get over difficulties.（4）AHave you ever read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? It was written by Lewis Carroll. He was an English writer, poet, scientist, photographer, and priest. His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, and Lewis Carroll was his pen name. He was born in 1832 and died in 1898.He is most famous for writing two children's fantasy books about a young girl called Alice.They were titled Alice's Adventures in Wonderland(1865) and through the looking-Glass(1872).He also wrote two famous poems called "The Hunting of the Snark" and "The Jabberwocky". What is important about these poems is that he made up many new words to use in them. He was an expert at "word play" and used words in many different ways. Some of these ways were quite new. And this has influenced members of the literary elite who are well25educated about English. Many people still study his work and his life today.Although they seem to have been written for children, Lewis Carroll's books and poems have been enjoyed by people of all ages. If you have not read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which is also referred to by the short title Alice in Wonderland, you should read it soon. No matter how old you are, you will find it exciting and enjoyable.A.Charles Lutwidge Dodgson.B.Santa Claus.C.Diana Thimblebottom.D.Jane Fleeb.Who wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland?（1）A.One.

Maybe you think this is strange. School is for math and science, isn't it? A teenager from UK named Tom had the same idea. In the past, Tom didn't help out at home and his mom wasn't very happy with him."I love cooking now and I think I'm really good at （擅长）it. It isn't difficult and it's great fun!I learn how to cook. And it's great to be able to make something for my family to enjoy." Tom says. Today, things are different and she is very happy. Tom is like any other teenagers. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sports. But between 5:30 and 6: 30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks dinner for all the family: mom, dad, younger brother Joe and older sister Emma."First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good." Tom's mom says.The idea of cooking classes is for young people to learn life skills. When they leave home,they don't have to go to McDonald's every day. Math and science are important, of course, but they also need other skills to help them in today's world.26 A.dancing B.reading C.cooking D.swimmingIn British schools, kids have classes.（1）A.5:00 and 6:00 B.6:00 and 7:00 C.5:30 and 6:30 D.6:30 and 7:30Tom cooks dinner for his family between from Monday to Friday.（2）A.He loves it.B.It is difficult.C.It is no fun.D.He isn't good at it.What does Tom think of cooking now?（3）A.to help with houseworkB.to learn life skillsC.to do something differentD.to be good cooksThe idea for cooking classes is for young people .（4）DThese days there are a lot of possibilities to be always connected to family and friends.Now that I have just moved to France, this can be very convenient. I can ring my sister who lives in Los Angles on Viber, or I can Skype my parents or friends back in England for a chat.However, sometimes the convenience and dependability of technology can be intrusive .Even the most out-going people sometimes need some "down time" to calm down on their own and get relaxed. This is something that I consider necessary and healthy. After all, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life, so you'd better know how to enjoy your own company. It can be a good thing to have time to yourself to collect your thoughts and free your feelings. Today I went for a walk by myself around the lake and just day-dreamed. It was so relaxing and enjoyable and helped me let go of my bad emotions.However, somehow it seems rude or perhaps makes people feel that you're upset to say to people: "I'm going to go and spend some time by myself." And often when we are spending time 'alone', we are actually connected with a piece of electrical equipment. We try to make something into a Facebook or a Tweet to attract our friends, or we scroll （滚屏） through Facebook nosing into other people's lives or seeing what friends are up to. We judge ourselves and other people by photos they put online, so we can tell how much fun they are having compared to us. This is an age when we can get so much surface information about other people's lives, but being wrapped （包裹）up in what other people are doing or always thinking about other people's recognition （认可） of us can be quite unhealthy. Perhaps these days we forget about the simple pleasure of spending time just for us.Having said all that, I also think that spending too much time by yourself can separate you from others. I suppose it is important to find a good balance between spending valuable time by yourself and with other people.27 A.Interruptive. B.Helpful. C.Unsatisfactory. D.Important.What does the underlined word "intrusive" probably mean?（1）A.It's the only way to get relaxed.B.It makes other people feel upset.C.It's necessary and healthy for people.D.It makes out-going people feel lonely.What does the writer think of being alone properly?（2）A.B.C.D.The writer agrees .it's important to know what other people think of usit's harmful to always compare ourselves with otherstechnology helps us to judge and improve ourselvestechnology helps us to know about other people clearly（3）A.B.C.D.What's the best title for the passage?Is technology really good for us?How can we keep in touch with others?What is the best way to enjoy ourselves?Do we spend enough time truly by ourselves?（4）。
