一、阅读理解题
Part-time jobs for the 15- and 16-year-olds
Waiters/ Waitresses A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for the 16-year-olds. They not only can earn $9—$12 an hour, but can also get tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don't just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time in the restaurant.
Work in a library If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the good pay, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework. So on returning home, they would have time to hang around with friends or just to relax. So working in a library is an excellent part-time job for teens, especially for the school students.
Internet jobs There are many ways of making money through online jobs like clicking on advertisements, visiting sites and signing up with them. However, such online jobs don't pay well. A better Internet job for teens is to complete online surveys. These are quite simple surveys that usually ask one about his/ her opinions and ideas. Many companies use these ideas to make products designed for teenagers.
(1) A student who is busy with his research paper will probably choose to work .
A．in a restaurant B．in a library
C．on the Internet D．in an IT company
(2) The writer wrote this text to .
A．tell us the importance of doing part-time jobs
B．advise teenagers how to choose a part-time job
C．teach young people how to make lots of money
D．introduce his/ her experience in doing part-time jobs
(3) Why do some companies ask the teens to do surveys
A．The teens have more free time.
B．They can pay less to the teens.
C．They need advice to make products for teens.
D．The teens usually express their true opinions.
A girl had to usually face adversity (逆境). One day, she couldn't help complaining to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She didn't know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of struggling. It seemed as if one problem was solved and a new one arose.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to the boil. In the first he placed carrots and in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them into the water and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He made the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked, "What do you see " "Carrots, eggs and coffee," she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (香味). She humbly asked, "What does it mean, Father "
He explained that each of them had faced the same hardship—boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot had been strong and hard. But after being put into the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been easily broken. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid inner. But after going through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. "Which are you " he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean "
How about you, my friend Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity you move back and become soft and lose your strength Are you the egg, which starts off with a flexible heart Did you have a liquid spirit, but after a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff, have you become hardened and stiff Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff heart Or are you like the coffee bean The bean changes the boiling water, which brings the pain. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you.
Ask yourself how you handle adversity. Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean
(1) The father took his daughter to the kitchen in order to .
A．introduce her to a new kind of coffee
B．help her solve the problems she met
C．tell her how to deal with the hardship
D．tell her what real life should be like
(2) According to the passage, it is most likely that the father is .
A．strict B．patient C．humorous D．proud
(3) The father used the boiling water to stand for .
A．her daughter B．their life C．their family D．the hardship
(4) From the passage, we can infer that .

C．the carrot must be far harder than the egg
D．the egg should be stronger than the carrot
Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat (微信) without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new "species" of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name—phubbers(低头族).
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie (自拍) in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. "Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,"Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. "The neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching." Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that's not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
(1) For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Para 2
A．To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B．To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C．To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D．To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
(2) Which of the following is NOT a risk (危险) a phubber may have
A．His social skills could be affected.
B．He will cause the destruction of the world.
C．His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
D．He might get separated from his friends and family.
(3) What may the passage talk about next
A．Advice on how to use WeChat.
B．People addicted to phubbing.
C．Measures to reduce the risks (危害) of phubbing.
D．Results of phubbing.
My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, "Who broke this window " Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was angry this time.
"Oh," I thought. I was the one who broke the window. It was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn't even get an allowance. "My father is going to have a fit," I thought. I didn't want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger than I was pulled it skyward. I told the truth, "I did it." It was hard enough to say what I did.
My teacher took a book from one of our library shelves and I had never known my teacher to strike a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
"I know how you like birds," she said as she stood looking down at my guilt-ridden face. "Here is that field guide about birds that you are constantly checking out. It is yours now. It's time we got a new one for the school anyway. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, and I am rewarding you for your truthfulness."
I couldn't believe it! I wasn't being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide—the very one that I had been saving up money to buy.
All that remains of that day is my memory and the lesson my teacher taught me. That lesson stays with me every day, and it will echo forever.
(1) From the story, we can learn that the boy .
A．didn't break the window on purpose

(2) If the boy admitted guilt, he thought he would NOT .
A．be punished by the teacher B．make his father angry

When Lisa was a little girl, she learned an important lesson from her father. Her father told her that when facing a problem, she should never give up. Instead she should try another solution. In the following years, Lisa always remembered her father's words.
When Lisa was little, she dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. It was always her dream. But it was not an easy road. After leaving college, Lisa went to Paris with her designs in order to make her dream come true. In Paris, she tried to talk to famous designers and show them some of her designs, but none of them showed any interest.
Though Lisa was discouraged, she didn't give up. One day, at a friend's party, she was introduced to a young lady who was dressed in a beautiful knitted (编织的) sweater. It wasn't a fancy color, but it did have very special stitches (针法). Lisa asked that lady if she knitted it herself. She said it was a work of a lady in Paris.
Lisa really loved the special stitches and wanted to include them in her designs. And then Lisa had an even braver idea. "Why not own a fashion store of my own That way, I could design, make and sell my own clothes," she thought. So she decided to begin with that kind of sweaters.
Lisa's friend introduced her to Madam Dean who knitted that sweater. The lady was from Armenia and she learned to knit that kind of sweater from people in her country.
Lisa drew a picture of a sweater and asked Madam Dean to knit the sweater for her. Madam Dean agreed. One week later, Lisa got the sweater. The following day after Lisa received it, she wore it to a party in the fashion industry.
Lisa was very nervous but she was lucky. Not long after the party began, her sweater drew the attention of a store owner from New York. She wanted to order 40 such sweaters in two weeks. Lisa was really happy and accepted the order.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Lisa told the good news to Madam Dean.
Paragraph 2:
Lisa then remembered her father's words.

(4) 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段最后一句“You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, and I am rewarding you for your truthfulness.”可知，因为男孩的诚实坦率，本该受到惩罚的男孩却受到了奖励，由此可知男孩的老师教给他的教训是诚实总是重要的。

(1) 本文是一篇记叙文。作者要离开家乡到加拿大学习，文中表达了作者的不舍之情和对国外新生活的紧张感。
考查不定冠词。句意：因为我要去一个新的地方和新的人待在一起，我感觉很紧张。设空处修饰 new place，表示泛指，故填不定冠词 a。
(2) 考查词性转换。副词通常作状语，修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子，形容词通常作定语修饰名词、代词。句中应该使用副词 fluently 作状语，修饰动词 speak。
(3) 考查代词。句意：……我也不能理解他们的风俗。名词 customs 前面应该使用形容词性物主代词作定语。
(4) 考查介词。句意：每一件事情都和我自己国家的不一样。短语 be different from… 意为“和……不同”，my own country 作介词 from 的宾语。
(5) 考查定语从句。此处定语从句的先行词是 a sad moment，定语从句中不缺少成分，先行词是表示时间的名词，所以用关系副词 when 引导定语从句。
(6) 考查非谓语动词。句意：我突然感觉不愿意离开我的家乡，因为我在那里长大，对那些熟悉的地方也有很多美好的回忆。短语 be/ feel unwilling to do sth. 不愿意做某事。
(7) 考查名词单复数。名词 memory 意为“回忆，记忆”，句中应该使用其复数形式表示有很多美好回忆。
(8) 考查词性转换。句意：然而，我知道出国学习是一个我自己做出的决定。不定冠词 a 的后面通常要接名词，由句意可知此处应填 decision。
(9) 考查时态。句意：到现在为止，我已经适应了这里的新生活，尽管我一直期待着能够回国和老朋友们一起度过即将到来的假期。由时间状语 by now 可知此处应与现在完成时连用。
(10) 考查非谓语动词。动词短语 look forward to 意为“期待”，其中 to 是介词，后面要接动名词作宾语。

At last, all the sweaters were finished in two weeks. The sweaters were all delivered to New York on time. Lisa was closer to her dream.
