Drums in Space
Brenda was a happy, artistic girl, a girl with one big dream—to play the 13 in a
band. But one big problem lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to
practice a lot, but she lived next door to a lot of old people—many of them liked living in the quiet
place. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really make them feel nervous.
Brenda was a very good, 14 girl. She always tried to find a way of practicing her
drums without bothering(打扰)other people. So she had tried playing in the strangest places: a
basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But it was no good, there was always someone to be
15 with her when she was practicing it. However, Brenda decided to practice as much as she
could, she spent most of her time playing on books and boxes, and looking for new places to
practice.
One day, while watching a science program on TV, she heard that 16 cannot travel
in space, because there’s no air. At that moment, Brenda decided to become a musical astronaut.
With the help of a lot of time, a lot of books and a lot of work, Brenda built a space bubble
(气泡). It was a big glass ball connected to a machine which 17 out all the air inside.
All those would be left inside were drums and a chair. Brenda put on the space suit she had made,
18 the bubble, turned on the machine, then she played the drums like a wild child!
It wasn’t long before Brenda—“The Musical Astronaut”—had become very famous. So
many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the
bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that
she could form part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical 19 ,
and had gone far beyond her first dream of playing the drums in a band.
Years later, when people asked her how she had achieved all this, she thought for a moment
and said, “If those old people next-door didn’t 20 so much to me, I wouldn’t go to such
lengths to find a solution, and none of this would have ever happened. ”

三.阅读理解(本大题共 13小题,每小题 2分,共 26分)

Three students had some confusing experiences. Please help them get the information to
understand better.
Maria: "When I went on a trip to Thailand last year, I found that people there eat food with
their right hand. I want to know more." (21)
Lingling: "I gave my seat to a British old man on the bus, but the man looked a little bit angry
and refused to take my seat. I don't know why." (22)
Peter: "I first met Judy at the airport on a cold winter morning. It was so cold that I shook
Judy's hand without pulling off my gloves. Am I right to do so ” (23)
A. In China, people are encouraged to give seats to the old, the sick and the
disabled on the bus or subway. But in some western countries, some elderly
people think you are hurting them if you try to help them without their agreement.
B. People in Thailand use their right hand to eat, because they believe that the left
hand is unclean. So it's not proper to use one's left hand to hold food, touch others
or pass objects. Doing so may make them angry.
C. Shaking hands is a common way to greet each other. But it is very impolite to
shake hands with others when you are wearing gloves. You should take off your
gloves first no matter how cold it is.
D. When you meet a Chinese man or woman for the first time, you should wait
for him or her to offer his or her hand first. Chinese people are not supposed to
kiss when they greet each other.

My First Job
When I was 16, I got a weekend job as a cleaner in a hotel. It paid the usual payment of 5 an
hour. Anyway, cleaning couldn't be that difficult, could it
There was a lot more to the job than you might expect. First, I'd collect all the things I needed
and put them in my cart. Then I set to work on cleaning the rooms. I made the beds, cleaned the
baths, and did some other work. It wasn't fun. In fact, it was unpleasant, especially at the
beginning. The first time I made a bed, I didn't do it correctly, and the manager made cart me do it
all over again. One of my workmates showed me what to do and I took notes, just like I did in
school. It took ages for me to get it right but when I did, I felt happy and confident.
Although it wasn't well paid, the job enabled me to party with my friends. It wasn't just the
money that made it all worthwhile. For the first time I was able to spend time with adults other
than my parents and teachers. If I didn't want to do the work, these grown-ups wouldn't try to
force me to do it. It was up to me to push myself. That was one very important lesson for me to
learn and one I never got taught in school.
My time at the hotel also taught me that you can learn new skills from any kind of work, even a
job you never thought you'd do. And at the same time, it showed me where I didn't want to be in
the future. And I didn't want to be in a hotel cleaning for the rest of my life. I was looking for
something a lot more challenging.
24.What did the writer think of her job when she started doing it
A. Interesting. B. Easy. C. Unpleasant. D. Unimportant.
25.Who pushed the writer to work when she didn't want to
A. The writer herself. B. Her parents.
C. The hotel manager. D. Her workmates.
26.From the story, we know that the writer ______.
A. regretted doing the job B. disliked her workmates
C. was satisfied with the payment D. was open to learning new things
C
Have you considered being a writer Maybe this is a dream you've had ever since you were young.
But writing for a living is not easy, and before you start, you should be sure that you are doing it
for the right reasons and go in with your eyes open.
To be a writer, you need to get used to being alone. A writer must be ready to spend at least
five hours a day alone, often in front of the computer. At the same time, remember that good
stories are created through a lot of effort.
Another question might be how to tell if you have a talent for writing. Perhaps you always
got good grades at school for your writing, or you worked on school newspapers, or won prizes
for your writing. Perhaps you may have had articles published(出版) in magazines. This shows
you have good writing skills.
Originality is always considered the heart of writing. It is important that tired old ideas and
words do not appear in your writing. From the first page, the story should be like nothing anyone
has ever read before. Try to surprise your reader at every turn and make your reader say, "Wow! I
never expected that to happen!"
Even though there are a lot of challenges, if you still want to be a writer, here are some ideas
that might help. First, remember that your first draft(草稿) will never be perfect. The value of the
first draft may be to start developing and organizing your ideas. Many successful writers write,
rewrite, and rewrite again.
When you write, put yourself in the place of the reader. Try to write stories that you would
like to read yourself. If you are writing a passage only because you have to, your reader is
certainly not going to enjoy it. Most, if not all, good writers read as much as possible. When you
read other people's work, think about what makes for good writing and use that in your own
writing. As a writer, you are a kind of educator. Make sure that you are well-informed about the
things you write about.
Doing research has helped many writers create more interesting and realistic stories. Writing is
different for everyone. If writing is really for you, chances are you already know it deep down and
have done for some time. If so, good luck!
27.What is the most important thing for a writer
A. Aloneness. B. Interest. C. Creativity. D. Talent.
28.The writer probably agrees that _______.
A. writers should do research about what is written
B. successful writers should write the first draft perfectly
C. writers should ask readers for advice about what to write
D. good writers should avoid following other writers’ writing styles
29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Are You Talented at Writing
B. Do You Want to Be a Writer
C. Is Writing Different for Everyone
D. Do You Need Practice to Be a Writer
D
Limiting Social-media Use Leads to Improved Body Image(外形) among Young People
Teens and young adults who cut their social media use by 50% for a few weeks saw
significant(显著的) improvement in how they felt about both their weight and their appearance,
according to the American Psychological Association research.
“Adolescence(青春期) is a vulnerable(脆弱的) period for the development of body image
problems, eating disorders(失调) and mental(精神的 ) illness,” said Gary Goldfield, PhD, from
Ontario Research Institute. “Youth are spending, on average(平均 ), between six to eight hours
every day on screens, much of it on social media. Social media can show users hundreds or even
thousands of photos of fashion models every day. They are beauty ideals( 理 想 ) that are
unreachable for almost everyone and can lead to greater displeasure with body weight and shape
among young people.”
However, much of the research on social media, body image and mental health is
correlational, according to Goldfield, so it is uncertain whether people with body image and
mental health problems spend more time on social media or if social media use leads to greater
body image and mental health problems.
The study examined 220 university students, aged 17 to 25, who regularly used social media
on their smart phones and had signs of depression(抑郁) or nervousness. During the first week,
the students were told to use social media as usual. Half of them were then told to limit their
social-media use to an hour a day for the next three weeks, while those in the control group were
not.
During the three weeks, students in the first group cut their social-media use by about half, to
an average of 78 minutes a day, while the control group averaged 189 minutes a day. Those who
cut their social-media use showed improvements on test scores of how they regarded their
appearance and body weight. The control group showed no significant changes. The researchers
did not find significant differences between genders(性别).
“Our short four-week intervention(干预 ) using screen-time trackers showed that reducing
social media use produced significant improvements in appearance and weight in troubled youth
with heavy social media use,” said Goldfield. “Cutting social media use is a possible method of
producing a short-term good effect on body image among a vulnerable population of users.”
30.The word “correlational” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “______”.
A.related B.common C.separate D.opposite
31.Paragraph 4 is mainly about ______.
A.why the study was performed B.how the study was performed
C.who the study examined D.what the study showed
32.What can you learn from the passage
A.Watching photos of fashion models makes young people feel satisfied with their body.
B.The study showed great differences young man improved better than young women.
C.During the four weeks, students were told to limit their media-use to the average level.
D.Young people are easy to have body image, eating disorders and mental problems in
adolescence.
33.Why does the author write this passage
A.To discuss the good and bad effects of cutting social media use.
B.To compare what roles genders play among heavy social media users.
C.To explain why many young people have the signs of depression or nervousness.
D.To introduce a method to solve body image problems for heavy social media users.

The Library With No Rules
When you walk by Hernando Guanlao's home on
Balagtas Street, downtown Manila, you will see thousands of
books on shelves and on the stairs. Each one is free to anyone
who wants it.
"People can borrow, take home, bring back or keep,
"says Guanlao. "Or they can share and pass on to another. But basically they should just take,
take!" He thinks
books need to live, and they're only alive if they are being read. "The act of giving books
makes your life meaningful, " says Guanlao.
The Reading Club 2000, as the project is called, began more than twenty years ago. "My
parents gave me my love of reading, " he says. "I started the club to honour them and to do some
kind of community service. So I put my old books—and my brothers' and sisters', maybe 100 in
all—outside, to see if anyone was interested. "
It took a while for people to work out that this was a library. It never closed and there were
no rules in it. But the project, offering everything from paperbacks to fashion magazines, technical
boaks and school textbooks, is becoming popular.
The success of the project is helped by the fact that the country, with a population of
92million, has fewer than 700 public libraries, and many people cannot afford to buy books.
Luckily, the project is spreading. Guanlao takes boxes af books-into—Manila's neighbourhoods
himself. He has also helped friends set up similar projects in ten other places around the country.
and encouraged students to donate(捐赠)books.
Aurora Verayo, from a town several hours' drive from Manila, says she came to see Guanlao
to donate books, but he encouraged her to open her own library. "I’m going a step further and
offering reading activities for children, " she says. Mark, 16-yearold student, is organizing a book
donation with friends. "We've collected." he says, " We’re taking them to some poor books so far,
and we expect many more, areas next month. Books open minds. A book can take you anywhere. "
34. What does Guanlao think of books
35. Why did Guanlao start the Reading Club 2000
36. What was special about Guanlao's library

reasons)
