At first they were getting on well, turning boxes into stores and playgrounds, but soon they had different ideas."It was my idea," Johnny said, "so I would just do it without you." Then he walked away in anger and left his friends Katie and Max alone."Wow, I didn't expect he'd get so mad," Katie said."Making a cardboard town is a lot of work," said Max, "Johnny can't do it all by himself. Maybe if we give him some space, he'll want us to help again."Johnny wanted the cardboard town done before New Year's Day so that he could show it to all of his family when they came over, but New Year's Day was only two weeks away. When he started again, he found it was just too big a job. He couldn't make the buildings out of boxes, put them around the town, and decorate (装饰) them all by himself. It would take way too long."I guess that's why people work together. When we each played a part, it was fun and everything went a lot faster. Maybe I should say sorry to my friends. They were just trying to help and have fun with me," Johnny said to himself.The next day at school Johnny said sorry to Katie and Max. "I don't know why I got so mad. Will you come to my house tomorrow to complete our town?" Johnny asked.Katie and Max joyfully agreed. The three all took on a role and the town was done in no time.19.How did Johnny feel when he and his friends had different ideas?A. Mad.B. Sad.C. Excited.D.

A good beginning is half done.B. Many hands make light work.C. A good friend is like a mirror.D. Many drops make a shower.CPhysical activity is important and we often plan to do it. However, we don't often think about making time to exercise as a family. While we find time for family games or movie nights, we often forget family sports. Family exercise may seem silly, but there are many benefits(益处).Form Lifelong HabitsBy spending family time on a physical activity together, you encourage (鼓励) your children to exercise and build lifelong habits. When children see physical activities as an enjoyable thing to do together, they may keep family exercise as a family-time tradition as they grow up.Children get more life skills at home than they do anywhere else. Teamwork is taught and encouraged in sports. By exercising together, you're encouraging teamwork and working together to reach a common goal, which helps teach the importance of goal setting as a team.Bring EncouragementParents are great encouragers in education and sports. You can give your children encouragement when doing family sports. Studies show that family encouragement influences(影响) children's mental health in a good way. Good family bonding(联结) with family encouragement builds confidence(自信) in children. It may be all well and good to think about exercising together as a family, but it may be difficult to get started. Here is some advice for you.● Take turns on who gets to choose the physical activity. Maybe you enjoy traditional exercise while your child wants to dance. On your exercising day, encourage your child to follow along. Then allow your child to choose the next family physical activity.● Staying safe is always something important to think about for not only children but parents as well. Choose an activity with your child's abilities in mind. If some of your family members are not good at running, try to slow down or have them ride a bike along.Family exercise can be both fun and a good chance for bonding. Remember to always choose the activity as a family and stay safe.22.Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 3?A. Build TeamworkB. Improve HealthC. Keep TraditionsD. Bring Happiness23.According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that _________.A. it's always safe to exercise together as a familyB. it's good and easy for families to start exercisingC. children should play a part in deciding family exerciseD. children will exercise with family more if they are confident24.The passage is probably written for ______.A. childrenB. studentsC. teachersD. parents25.What does the writer mainly talk about in the passage?A. The ways for families to exercise together and stay safe.B. The choices of family exercise and the reasons to start it.C. The benefits of family exercise and advice on how to start it.D. The importance for children to exercise and get more life skills.DIt is generally believed that we make choices based on our preferences (偏好). For example, we choose a bag because we like it better than other bags. But will we like the bag even better after we choose it? Psychologist Jack Brehm once asked some housewives to rate (给……打分) a few things based on how much they liked them. If they gave two things the same rating, they had to choose one over the other. Then they rated all the things again. This time, all the chosen things got a higher rating. Brehm then said that the act of choosing had changed the women's preferences. But others questioned Brehm's finding. They argued that choosing only showed preferences that were already there.A new study suggests there is truth on both sides. To see people's preference in a scientific way, scientists used fMRI (功能性核磁共振成像) to watch brain activity in 13 volunteers when they chose the place for a vacation. In the first part of the new study, the volunteers went inside the fMRI and rated how happy it would make them to go to Greece, Thailand and other places. Then, outside the fMRI, they chose between pairs of places to which they had given the same rating. Scientists found that even though the volunteers had given the same rating to both places in each pair at first, they always chose the place thatraised greater brain activity shown in the fMRI.The finding proves (证明) that choices uncover preexisting (早先存在的) preferences. But the second part of the study also backs Brehm's point that choices can influence preferences. When the volunteers got back in the fMRI and rated how much they wanted to go to the vacation places again, they showed even higher brain activity for the chosen places. The fMRI data suggest that a person's choice not only shows a preexisting preference but also shapes future preferences, which helps to end a huge debate in the field. Experts believe that we change our preferences after making a decision so that we won't think over what may happen if we choose differently. So if we choose the zoo over the seaside, we will probably feel like learning more about the animals and putting our swimsuit away.26.What did Brehm ask the housewives to do?A. To rate a few things two times.B. To make some bags together.C. To learn about many things.D. To find a place for vacation.27.The word "shapes" in Paragraph 4 probably means "______".A. createsB. influencesC. choosesD. proves28.What can we learn from the new study?A. People hardly change their preferences after they make choices.B. People may like something better if they show lower brain activity.C. People show the same brain activity for the places with the same rating.D. People may still have a preference even though they give the same rating.四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）29. Are you interested in the bottles in the supermarkets? To sell liquids (液体), most factories have touse glass or plastic (塑料) bottles. However, as buyers now care more about the environment, they hope factories can use environment-friendly bottles. Then factories started working to develop paper bottles.In some ways, paper bottles are much better than glass and plastic ones because they are easy to recycle (再利用) and also weigh less than glass. But there are also some problems. One of the biggest difficulties is to keep paper bottles from leaking (漏). The inside of the bottle needs a special coating.To make sure the liquid won't leak through, many factories use a thin sheet of plastic as a liner (内衬).Bottle makers may say this liner can be recycled, but many recycling programs don't have the rightmachines to deal with it.A factory named Diageo made the first paper bottle that's completely plastic-free. Now people inDiageo are trying to put a non-plastic coating on the inside of the bottles, and this may make bottles fully recyclable. Diageo says they'll put that kind of paper bottles into use in July, 2022. But even without plastic, paper bottles aren't perfect. For example, if people cut down trees to make bottles, there will be fewer forests and more animals will be in danger. Also, it will take time for factories to see how long liquids can be kept in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don't influence the taste.Now quite a few factories are working to improve paper bottles. It's likely that we can expect to see better paper bottles in the supermarkets soon.(1) Who hopes factories can use environment-friendly bottles?(2) Why are paper bottles better than glass and plastic ones?(3) How do factories make sure the liquid won't leak through?(4) When will Diageo put fully recyclable paper bottles into use?(5) What will happen if people cut down trees to make paper bottles?五、阅读填空（本大题共2小题，共20.0分）30. Today scientists are trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.There (1) (be) already robots working in factories. Some robots can do simple (2) (job) over and over again and never get bored. Scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future and these new robots will have many different shapes. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years (3) (make) it come true.(1)(2)(3)31. Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It usually falls (1) the first day of the firstmonth in the Chinese calendar. It is a time for family members to enjoy being together. The most popular food for the festival is dumplings. Just as an old saying goes, "Nothing tastes (2) (good) than dumplings." Also, many people believe eating dumplings will make them rich, because the food looks like "yuanbao". People usually put a coin or a candy inside a dumpling. They believe that the person will be (3) (luck) in the new year when he/she gets the dumpling.(1)(2)(3)六、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）32.为丰富学生的校园生活，初二年级学生会将举办一场才艺表演（Talent Show)。
