When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in Decemb er Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choo se his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (收银台) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocke t, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the wom an. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someon e you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enj oyed giving them to us.I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire.

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obam a’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right thi s minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands o f shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yours elf. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.【小题1】Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?A．To compare these two famous persons.B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.D．To prove that failure is the mother of success.【小题2】 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．No one can be successful without working hard.B．Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.C．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help.D．One should try his best to make his dream come true.【小题3】 Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A．One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.B．One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.C．One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.D．One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him.18. For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions. How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influen ced by the weather as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitam in D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters o f little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Witho ut enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “s unrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which contr ol our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather. 【小题1】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor that can affect one’s emotions?A．Weather.B．Actions of others.C．Personality.D．Age.【小题2】Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?A．It is a kind of artificial chemical.B．It makes us worried by affecting our brains.C．It is needed by us all to keep fit.D．It is in the sunlight.【小题3】What can we infer from the passage?A．We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.B．We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.C．All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.D．The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.【小题4】What may be the best title for this passage?A．Why Do We Feel Sad?B．The Weather Influences People’s EmotionsC．People Need More Vitamin DD．We Can Hardly Change the Weather四、补全短文7选519.

She headed for her bedroom and return ed with a big tin box. “I’ve been 36 these buttons since I was a little girl,” Nana said. Then she tapped the cover as if she were knocking on a door.“Inside this box, Zach, is not just a button collection. Inside are a thousand stories and a million 37 .”Nana opened the box and poured a waterfall of buttons onto the table. Seeing all kinds of buttons, Zach wanted to examine each and every one. 38 heard their talking and came to see what they were doing.“I see you’ve brought out the button bo x,” he said.“Yes,” Zach answered, “but Nana hasn’t told me what’s 39 about it.”The three sat at the kitchen table, making the buttons 40 between their fingers while Nana and Grandpa told Zach stories.

You’re part of this family, aren’t you?” Grandpa said. “I think you’re starting to understand the magic of the button box, aren’t you, Zach?” Zach smiled.“We still need to replace that button you lost,” Nana said.“Why not use the button from my old coat?” Grandpa suggested.“Good idea, Grandpa,” Zach said. “But a memory will be 44 from the box.”“That’s OK. We’ll still remember it,” Nana said.But Zach wasn’t 45 . He thought for a moment. Then he cut off the bottom button from his shirt.“What are you doing?” Mom asked.“I’m 46 a memory,” Zach said, throwing the button into the box. “And the next time I see that button, it’ll remind me of the day I found out the secret of themagic button box.”35.

You’ve never seen a supermarket before, have you, Jimmy?”I shook my head no.“A trading post in the pueblo only shows you a small part of the world. This store speaks of a world that is a very big place.”“So I should just forget where we come from, is that it?”“No. Carry it with you, so that you may be always in both worlds, large and small.”“So it’s big, so what! I’d rather be in a trading post any old day. Maybe they only have one kind of apple, but they are all ripe!” While I was saying that, I was watching a woman putting the green apples into a bag. “That woman is being cheated because she doesn’t know the apples aren’t ripe.”Grandfather laughed. He also put about half a dozen of the green apples in a bag.“You’ll get a stomachache if you eat green apples,” I said.Grandfather looked as though he were going to laugh again, but he didn’t.At the cash registers, Grandfather paid his money. Nobody said much. Maybe everybody in a city always acted like strangers. Maybe that was how people got along with each other here.When we got outside, Grandfather reached for one of those green apples.“Feel like sharing an apple with me?” He used a small knife to cut the apple in half. He offered me one piece.I was hungry, but I said no.Grandfather chewed the other piece, making a great show of how good it tasted. “Not afraid of an apple, are you?”I didn’t know why he was making such a big deal over an apple, so I took it. I bit into it was juicy and sweet.“It’s not a trick. I thought it was when I first saw them, too. But it is this kind of apple, it gets ripe but it stays green.” He finished his half of the apple.“It tastes pretty good,” I finally admitted. A green apple that was ripe! It just didn’t seem possible somehow.“You’re going to see lots of new things here. Just try not to forget the old things you already know and you will do well,” said Grandfather.1.

They’re the trendsetters (引领潮流者), and everyone else follows their lead.The standards of the in-crowd differ from culture to culture and even school to school. Nevertheless, teens worldwide worry about popularity. As people grow from children to adults, looking for support from peers (同伴) is normal, explains a psychologist at the University of North Carolina.Being popular has certain benefits. Popular kids often enjoy plenty of partyinvites and dates. Along the way, they develop social skills and learn how to get along in different situations too.Being a trendsetter can also be exciting. That’s especially true if that status (地位) is used for a positive goal, such as making school a more welcoming place. “It is my hope that popular teens will choose to be the superhero rather than the villain,” says psychologist Leanna Closson.Popularity ca n have an unpleasant side, though. “Amy is very self-centred and complains about petty things,” notes Danielle. “She makes fun of other people and is in general not an all-around nice person.” Eric M. says the popular crowd acts the same way at his high sc hool. “They act really mean on the outside to make themselves seem better than everyone else,” says the 16-year-old.If being both popular and unlikable seems strange, think about how some teens—especially girls—try to boost (吹捧) their status. They don’t just pick on unpopular kids; they often aim at the middle and higher popularity levels. Teens may secretly hope their popularity will rise if they knock down possible “competitors”. Even if that makes them more popular, in the process they may make themselves less likeable.Achieving popularity doesn’t priomise happiness, either. One study of New England teens found that high-status girls were more likely to have symptoms of deoression (沮丧) after high school. Feeling you always have to act a certain way to stay popular can be stressful, suggests Antonius Cillessen of the Netherland’s Radboud University.”Kepping status is like walking on your toes all the time,”he says.” It’s hard work.”1. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. An in-crowd is mostly made up of girls.B. Amy belongs to a less-than-cool group.C. Danielle is popular because of her hair style.D. Trendsetters set the trend for others to follow.2. What does Leanna Closson hope to see?A. The in-crowd will develop better social skills.B. Popular teens will influence others positively.C. The in-crowd will work hard to achieve popularity.D. Popular teens will take part in more competitions.3. What is the best title of the passage?A. School Competitions: Yes or NoB. In-crowd at School: Dos and Don’tsC. School Trendsetters: The Good and BadD. Being Popular at School: For or AgainstDIt’s no secret that reading is helpful. But can it help kids lose weight? In the first study to look at the influence of literature (文学) on overweight teenagers, researchers at Duke Children’s Hospital discovered that reading the right type of novel may make a difference.The Duke researchers asked overweight girls aged 9 to 13 who were already in a weight loss program to read a novel called Lake Rescue. It was carefully created with the help of pediatric experts (儿科专家) to include specific healthy lifestyle and weight management guidance, as well as positive messages and strong role models.Six months later, the Duke researchers found the 31 girls who read Lake Rescue experienced a significant decrease (fall) in their BMI scores (-.71%) when compared to a control group of 14 girls who hadn’t (+.05%), explained Alexandra C. Russell, a fourth-year medical student at Duke who led the study.“As a pediatrician, I can’t count the number of times I tell parents to buy a book that might provide useful advice, yet I’ve never been able to point to research to back up my recommendations,” says Sarah Armstrong, director of Duke’s Healthy Lifestyles Program where the research took place. “This is the first probable interventional (介入的) study that found literature can have a positive influence on healthy lifestyle changes in young girls.”Obesity is becoming more widespread in children, according to the CDC ( Centres for Disease Control), which report that 16 percent of children aged 6 to 19 are overweight or obese, a number that has increased since 1980.Researchers arelooking at a lot of ways to help kids stay healthy ,lose weight and be more active, but Armstrong say’s,”most don’t work very well. The weight loss choices that are effective typically involve taking powerful medications with side effects, or require long-lasting surgical procedures.”While the BMI decrease due to the book is small, Armstrong says any decrease in BMI is encouraging because BMI typically increases in children as they grow and develop. That’s okay as long as it follows a normal, progressing curve. In overweight kids, however, BMI usua lly increases more quickly. “If their BMI percentile (百分位) goes down, it means they are either losing weight or getting tall and not gaining weight. Both are seen as positive signs in kids who are trying to lose weight,” she explains.1. What did researchers at Duke Children’s Hospital do?A. They tried to find out the reasons why kids are overweight.B. They focused on the research into girls’ healthy lifestyle.C. They studied whether literature could help lose weight.D. They helped the girls to choose right books to read.2. The underlined phrase “back up my recommendations” probably means “_____”.A. influence my researchB. change my opinionC. respect my studyD. support my advice3. Which of the following statements about the research is TRUE?A. The researchers interviewed the girls and studied information.B. Pediatric experts offered specific guidance to the research.C. 16 percent of children aged from 9 to 13 were overweight.D. The girls read a certain novel and gave their reports.4. What’s the finding of the research?A. That the girls all grew tall and lost weight after 6 months.B. That the girls showed great interest in reading literature works.C. That the girls who read Lake Rescue had a decrease in BMI.D. That the girls need to take powerful medications to lose weight.四、信息匹配（共1小题）Would you like to explore (开发) the oceans? Do you want to find more life than we imagine there? For Jacques Cousteau, the answer was “yes”. His career was a life-long dream, and he is probably the most famous ocean scientist in recent times.Cousteau was born in France in 1910. Even as a child, he loved water. Cousteau was bright, but he got bored with school and began to cause trouble. 1 . There, Cousteau finally felt challenged. He studied hard and did well in all his courses. In 1933, he served as a general officer in the French Navy. 2 . He worked on a breathing machine to stay under water longer. It was finished in 1943.In 1948, Cousteau became a captain, and he had new duties. Even so, he continued to explore the oceans. Two years later, he became the president of the French Oceanographic Campaigns. He also bought a ship to help with his dives.3 . To do that, he produced many films and published（出版）a number of books. His films include “The Silent World (1956)”, “World without Sun (1966)”. One of his books is “The Living Sea (1963)”.4 . Its work was to further oceanic research and to encourage people to help protect the oceans and the life within them.Cousteau won many honors for his work, including the Medal of Freedom and membership in the French Academy in 1989.五、阅读填空（共1小题）“Yeah, I want to clean up the environment, but what can I do? One person can’t make a difference.” Some people may say.It is hard for one person to ma ke a change, but when all the “one persons” get together, something meaningful can be done. You can start by getting all the “onepersons” together in your school and set up your school environmental club!In our school, our club started because we wanted to clean up the earth. We realized the movement had to begin with cleaning up the environment closest to us.One project our club started was a clean-up of our school’s outdoor campus (校园). We hated the amount of pollution we found around our school. So we went to pick up trash during lunch and after school. We put the trash on display because we wanted everyone to enjoy the garbage artwork we created.Another project we started was recycling old Christmas trees. We advertised this new program at local Christmas tree stores. After Christmas we also asked our neighbors if we could replant their still-living trees. We planted them in some local parks.In the months to come we have a number of projects planned. We hope to set up our paper recycling program again which was put off because of limited storage space. We have planned another outdoor campus clean-up this spring. We will also make reusable hall passes to take the place of the wasteful paper ones.So now that you have some ideas for your school’s environmental club, get started. Let’s show the world what a difference kids can make. We look forward to seeing you carry out your wonderful ideas.1. Is it hard for one person to make a change to the environment?2. What did the movement in the writer’s school have to begin with?3. Why did they put the trash on display?4. Where did they plant the still-living trees?5. What is the passage mainly about?六、完成句子（共1小题）1. 空气很清新。

BNowadays,many children spend many hours a day looking at computer screens or other digital products（数码产品）.Some eye care professionals（专业人士）say all the screen time has caused more children to have eye problem.Nathan Warford is an optometrist（验光师）in Florida,US.He says he has seen an increase in problems in children.“Some children come into the office because their parents have found that they have red eyes.Others come because their degree of short-sightedness(近视）is increasing very fast and their parents are worried,"he said.Part of the problem is that even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache,some children don't tell their parents.These children are afraid that their parents would take their games or the computer away.Another part of the problem is that people blink(眨眼睛）less often when they look at the screen.When a person uses a computer or other digital products,he or she blinks about a third as much as we normally(正常地）do in everyday life.If we blink less often,our eyes can't stay wet or are too tired and they will not be protected like normal.(1)According to Nathan Warford,how many kinds of eye problems may too much screen time cause?A.TwoB.ThreeC.FourD.Five.(2)Some children don't tell their parents their eye problems because_____A.they think they're not seriousB.they don't want their parents to worryC.they want to do to hospital themselvesD.they want to continue playing computer games(3)People normally blink about 20 times a minute.How many times do they blink if they use acomputer?A.About 4.B.About 7.C.About 11.D.About15.(4)What is the passage mainly about?A.Some ways of protecting children's eyes.B.Some information about the latest digital products.C.Nathan Warford's experience of working out eye problems.D.Eye problems in children caused by using digital products.14. C"where there is a will,there is a way.'Perhaps not many students can understand this better than 22-year-old Michael Ha.Because of his story of success,he has become an example to many young people.Michael Ha was born in a very poor family.His parents worked in Vietnam before they moved to Britain in 1980.They couldn't find work in Britain because they spoke little English.The whole family had to live on benefits(救济金)and they lived in a small house in Hackney,a poor area in East London.Growing up was not easy for Michael,but he never gave up.At the age of 10,he set his heart on going to Cambridge University.It was not easy,either.Michael studied at a school,which used to be called"the worst school in Britain'.However,young Michael made up his mind to try his best no matter what kind of school he was studying at.The smart boy studied very hard and did well in every subject at school.Once he made a bet(打赌）with his friend to learn further math.As a result,after spending just four months teaching himself from a textbook,he got an A in AS-level further math.Now Michael is the star medical student at St.John's College,Cambridge and has just won an award(奖）for his excellent grades.He hopes he will be an inspiration for other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.(1)When was Micheal born?A. In 1994.B.In1980.C.In1990.D.In1984.(2)Where did Michael's parents work before 1980?A.In Britain.B.In Vietnam.C.In Cambridge.D.In Hackney.(3)What does Michael learn about in Cambridge University?A. English.B.History.C.Geography.D.Medicine.（4)What is the best title of the passage?A.How to deal with the difficultiesB.How to become a good studentC.From a poor area to CambridgeD.From the"worst school”to Cambridge University15. DAre you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves.Strangely,most of us are better givers than receivers.We give to our family,our friends and even charities,and opposite to what we might think,most of us are actually very good at giving.But receiving is another matter.We often feel a little uneasy when receiving,although it is not very noticeable.Even praise gets deflected(转向）when it comes our way.When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house,we will possibly say,"Ah,it was nothing.'When someone praises the coat we are wearing,we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise.Actually,the praise is a gift to us,and when we don't receive it properly,we are dishonoring the giver.Giving is easy,as there is much pleasure in giving,but receiving is an art that takes practice.To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver.It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way.And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back.Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other,but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love,respect the praise,and give thanks every time giving happens.We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day,instead of taking them for granted.Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time:the beauty of nature,art and inspiring(激励人的）conversations.But are we truly receiving them when they happen to us,or are we busy with other matters,not noticing? We should master the art of receiving:accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them.We are taught that it is better to give than to receive.But this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving.There is nothing wrong with receiving.It is better to give and receive.Let life shower us with gifts,pleasures,joys,surprises,both large and small,and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully.The more we can receive,the more we can give back,but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more.We must remember it is harder to receive than to give,and try to practice receiving.This practice will benefit us greatly,making us become good receivers as well as good givers.(1）According to Paragraph 2,what do we possibly do when we are praised?A.Honor the giver publicly.B.Show our pleasure clearly.C.Receive the praise uncomfortably.D.Express our disagreement properly.(2）The expression"taking them for granted"probably mean"_____".A. looking for them with expectationB.depending on them with satisfactionC.getting away from them without regretD.benefiting from them without appreciation(3)What can we learn from the passage?A.People usually can receive more by giving more.B.People usually try to receive as much as possible.C.People should give a gift back when receiving one.D.People can improve relationships by receiving well.(4)What is the best title for the passage?A.Be a Good Receiver and GiverB.Better to Give Than to ReceiveC.Better to Give,Better to ReceiveD.Be a Receiver Rather Than a Giver信息还原16.
