Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK"，but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.In the USA，teachers never say anything too bad about their students，even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA！Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.Is it too strict in China Or is it not strict enough in the USA？Maybe both are true.8. Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday ？A. Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother.B. Because he did something wrong.C. Because the teacher was happy with his progress.D. Because the teacher thought he was too lazy.9. American parents will be when their children get a B-grade in their school.A. excitedB. sadC. angryD. happy10.

A【解析】试题分析：短文介绍了美国的教育依靠学生的自觉性与自主性.同时又介绍了中国的教育特点，家长对孩子的要求严格，并且学校给学生的作业量上也是较大的.【8题详解】B细节理解题.根据短文“The note showed that he had been talking in class.”的描述可知，Ted在学校做了错事，那就是在课堂乱说话.结合选项可知应选B.【9题详解】D细节理解题.根据短文“Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.”的描述可知，孩子在学校得了B成绩，许多家长是满意的.与满意相近的词汇为happy.结合选项可知应选D.【10题详解】C词义猜测题.根据短文“I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6th grader in the USA！Yet his parents and teachers didn't think he worked hard enough.”的描述可知，中国的父母对孩子的期望很高.因此划线部分为很高有期望.故应选C.【11题详解】A主旨大意题.通读全文并结合最后一段“Is it too strict in China？Or is it not strict enough in the USA？Maybe both are true.”的描述可知，文章重点在介绍中国与美国的教育有所不同.结合选项可知应选A.As a young man，Tom was a famous artist with a wife and two fine sons.

What could I see during my short stay in Milan? One answer came into my mind as our taxi went past Duomo di Milano, the largest cathedral (教堂) in Italy.①The next morning my family and I made our way to the cathedral. It was just a five-minute walk from our hotel. On the roof, there are many statues (雕像). They are all about characters from Bible (圣经). Although many look lovely, I felt kind of scared when I saw a scary one. We climbed to the roof. There, we had an amazing view of the city and took lots of photos. Inside, we enjoyed the beautiful glass windows.①We then walked to the La Scala, Milan’s world-famous opera house. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but the inside is wonderful. Most of the greatest singers of the past 200 years sang there.①Between the Duomo di Milano and La Scala is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II hallway. We went there from the opera house. Some of the top fashion brands (品牌) have shops there. The only thing we could afford to buy was ice-cream. We waited in line, watching the server make it look like a rose.

If you lost it, what would you do to get it back? Liu Mengjie found his own answers to these questions.①Liu Mengjie was from Taiwan. He started to learn to play the piano at a very young age. He was such a talent that he was accepted into a music school at only 13. He left his home to study at the Curtis Institute of Music in Pennsylvania. Liu became one of the teachers after he graduated in 1993. That was the same year that he became famous in the music world.①When Liu was 23, just a few years after an outstanding performance, he came down with a serious illness. He had a difficult time walking and his heart even stopped beating. The worst part was that he couldn’t move his fingers. The doctor said, “I am sorry. I am afraid you have to say goodbye to your piano forever.”①However, Liu surprised everyone. He practiced his fingers very hard every day after he spent one month learning how to sit up. With strong will, he kept on with hiscareer as an excellent pianist. “I feel full and alive. Looking back on this journey, I want to say thanks and I have found the true meaning of life: be strong and stick to (坚持) your dream.”8．Why was Liu Mengjie accepted into a music school at only 13?A．Because he couldn’t live without playing the piano.B．Because he was pretty talented in playing the piano.C．Because he started to learn piano when he was very young.D．Because he had to leave his home to study in a new school.9．What can we infer (推断) from the doctor’s words in Paragraph.3?A．Even after Liu Mengjie got better, he couldn’t play the piano anymore.B．It will be good for Liu Mengjie’s health if he stops playing the piano.C．Liu Mengjie could keep on playing the piano after he got better.D．It will be impossible for Liu Mengjie to be well again.10．How did Liu Mengjie feel after he kept on as an excellent pianist?A．Thankful.B．Relaxed.C．Empty.D．Tired. 11．Which is the best title (标题) for this passage?A．A Serious IllnessB．A Man of Talent and StrengthC．A Talented PianistD．A Dream in Music①As a powerful chatting robot, ChatGPT becomes really popular. It is a large language model created by OpenAI and it is one of the most wonderful AI models now. It brings big changes to people’s life in many ways, especially education.①It helps students learn in lots of personal ways. With its excellent machine learning ability, ChatGPT can know very well about each student. So it can provide students with customized (定制的) learning materials (资料). Also, students can ask it for help with their homework. For example, a student may ask, “How to find information about the history of soccer?” ChatGPT will list the names of books,museums and key websites in a few seconds (秒). By searching (搜索) on these websites, students will have a clear understanding of soccer.①For teaching. ChatGPT is a window to a large number of teaching resources (资源). It makes teachers rethink the working ways. Many kinds of easy daily work, such as test papers, planning lessons and analyzing questionnaires (分析问卷), can be done more quickly. In this way, teachers can spend more time on more complex tasks, like designing classroom activities and making teaching plans.①However, every coin has two sides. Some teachers say that ChatGPT isn’t good for the development of students’ creative thinking. It may turn students into “mindless searching machines”.

There are five blanks in the passage and each blank has four choices marked A, B, C, and D.Passage:Last summer holiday, I went on a trip to Beijing with my family.

The Great Wall was (1)_________; it was so long and had a great view.I climbed a lot of steps and felt very (2)_________ when I reached the top.

On weekends, I like to visit the library.A. a / aB. one / oneC. the / theD. some / someAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “a” because “afternoon” is an un countable noun, and “a” is used to refer to an indefinite quantity of an uncountable noun. “One” is used for countable nouns, “the” is used for specific nouns,and “some” is also used for uncountable nouns but is more general and not as specific as “a.”2、If you___________(2) your homework before you go out, you won’t have to worry about finishing it late.A. will doB. doC. had doneD. have doneAnswer: BExplanation: The correct answer is “do” because the sentence is in the simple present tense, which is used for habits, general truths, and regular routines. The future tense “will do” suggests a future action that is not necessarily related to the present habit, while the past perfect “had done” and the present perfect “have done” are both used for action s that have occurred in the past and have relevance to the present.3、The teacher__________(be) in the classroom when the bell rang.Answer: wasExplanation: The sentence describes a past event that happened at a specific time, so the past simple tense is used to describe the state of the teacher when the bell rang. The correct form of the verb “be” in the past simple tense for the third person singular is “was.”4、If it__________(rain) tomorrow, we will cancel the picnic.Answer: rainsExplanation: The sentence is an example of a conditional sentence expressing a future possibility. In the second condition (if clause), the simple present tense is used to describe a future event that is conditional on another event. Therefore, the correct form of the verb “rain” in the simple present tense for the third person singular is “rains.”5.In the___________(complete) weather, we decided to go for a picnic.A. beautifulB. beautifullyC. beautifullylyD. beautifully’dAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “beautiful” because we need an adjective to describe the noun “weather.” The other options are not grammatically correct: “beautifully” is an adverb, “beautifullyly” is a misspelling, and “beautifully’d” is a contraction that would only be used after a verb.6.She___________(go) to the store last night, but she couldn’t find her car keys.A. was goingB. wentC. had goneD. have been goingAnswer: AExplanation: The correct answer is “was going” because the sentence describes an action that was in progress at a specific time in the past (“last night”). “Went” is the simple past tense, which does not indicate continuous action. “Had gone” is the past perfect tense, which implies a past action that was completed before another past action. “Have been going” is the present perfect continuous tense, which is not appropriate in this context as it implies ongoing action up to the present.7.In the 7 days, the students have been working hard to prepare for the upcoming science fair.答案：past解析：根据句意，这里指的是“过去的几天”，应该使用过去时态的形容词形式，因此用“past”。
