When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have. Then we would happily eat as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit us. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often, kids want more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. When we grow up, we never develop the skill of valuing what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we could lead to a happier life.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well.
24. The author’s grandfather advised her sister and her to_______.
A. stop eating ice cream B. learn something from their way of eating
C. stop the competition between them D. eat ice cream as slowly as possible
25. What advice does the author give us in the passage
A. Value what you have. B. Keep longing for more.
C. Have a balanced diet. D. Save for the future.
26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author doesn’t like ice cream as much as before.
B. The author just starts to understand her grandfather.
C. The author longs for the days when they ate ice cream.
D. The author learns a lot from her grandfather’s advice.
C
The American book Who Moved My Cheese has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life.
The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
27. What does the text mainly discuss ___________
A. Never change in our life B. Change when you like to do
C. Change with the changes D. Pay attention to the changes
28. The underlined word "four" (paragraph 3) refers to ___________.
A. Mice and “ little people” B. Students C. Cheese D. Readers
29. In our lives, we should learn from ___________.
A. mice B. little people C. Chris D. Spence Johnson
30. Which of the following statements is true
A. The author is Britain.
B. There are three terms in every school.
C. Most teens don’t understand Chris’ story.
D. The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives.

It was the middle of the day with bright sun, blue sky, green grass, and a soft
breeze (微风). It was a great day to play outside and the best day of my life because I got a new ball and a new bike as my sixth birthday presents, and I was visiting my
cousin, Kristy, at her house.
“Here I go!” shouted David while kicking my new ball. David lived next door and was older than me. I thought he was a wild child, but he was actually very kind. The
ball went flying as if it were going to space. “That was high!” Kristy said in surprise
and we went after the ball. We all had a great time.
Later we had supper and the food my aunt made was good. While Kristy was
helping do the dishes,David and I ran outside to play. We started taking turns(轮流) riding
my bike. David suggested that we ride it to the forest. And I agreed, David and I got on
the bike and David started going fast.
As we rode through the forest, I felt the wind brushing my face. It felt so great and
free. Suddenly the bike hit a fallen branch and we went flying off the bike. Lying on the
ground, I felt dizzy (眩晕). I checked myself for injuries and saw some but they didn’t
bother me.
“David!” I shouted out loudly and anxiously.
“Hey”, said a voice. I turned my head and it was David, who was standing behind
me, holding my broken bike. At the sight of my disabled bike, I was so sad that I
couldn’t hold back my tears. It took David some time to calm me down.

Dear Miss Anxiety,
I’m sorry to know that you are experiencing a tough time now. Actually, everyone will encounter such a period when they are under great pressure, so there is no need to worry too much.
In my opinion, sharing your feelings with your friends is a wise choice as you can remove your negative emotions. Another effective suggestion is that you should take more physical exercise, which can lift your spirit. Also, keep an optimistic attitude towards life about your future.
I hope my advice will be of benefit to you. May you get rid of your trouble soon.

读后续写(满分25分)
Paragraph 1
When we realized it was time to walk home, we found ourselves lost. It was getting darker and darker. I felt so scared that tears rolled down my face again. David attempted to comfort me. He told me that he once made some marks on the trees in the forest, which might help us find the way home. Therefore, we made efforts to look for the marks but in vain. Having walked anxiously for about an hour in the forest, we failed to find our way out.
Paragraph 2
It was completely dark when we saw fireworks being set off in the distance. We ran excitedly in that direction as fast as possible. Soon we found my aunt’s house, in front of which my cousin Kristy was holding some fireworks and lighting them. Seeing us back safe, Kristy cheerfully hugged us. She told us that when noticing we had been away for long, she was concerned about our safety. She set off fireworks to draw our attention and guide us. It was an unforgettable experience. Without David’s comfort and Kristy’s fireworks, I would have lost in the forest forever.
【解析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知,作者在他六岁生日时候收到新的礼物并且带着礼物去拜访他的姑姑,在他姑姑家遇到另外一个男孩并且一起玩耍时候的遭遇。
续写第一段开头为:当我们意识到我们该回家的时候,发现我们迷路了…后面应该写我们迷路了,设法去寻找回家的路的过程。
续写第二段开头为:当我们看到远处的烟花时,天已经完全黑了…后面应该写我们借助烟花找到回家的方向,最终回到家的过程。
文章主题部分选用的是一般过去时,续写部分也用一般过去时,通篇时态把握准确;文章中还使用大量的复合句,为文章增加色彩和高级感,如He told me that he once made some marks on the trees in the
forest, which might help us find the way home. We ran excitedly in that direction as fast as possible. Soon we found my aunt’s
house, in front of which my cousin Kristy was holding some fire-works and lighting them. 这里的非限制性定语从句补充说明性强,显示高级的英语水平,精准掌握了从句使用的要领;续写部分构思巧妙,衔接自然,思路清晰自然,表达完整,为一篇优秀的作品。
