It's “Baby Day” at the Riverpark seniors’ home in Ottawa--a twice-monthly event Eulah Johnson, 90, never
misses. “I really enjoy it. It's a shift from the regular routine,”says the retired nurse.
Today, Johnson sits on a sofa and looks at a laughing child perched on the seat of her walker（助行架）. After a
few moments, the girl skips off to play with the dozen or so other small children and babies mixed with 20 of
Johnson's fellow residents.
Some, like 12-month-old Owen, are regular visitors to Ottawa seniors' homes. “We've been doing this since he
was three months old,” says his mother, Allison Rodgers, 33.
She loves the social calls, too. “I didn't have grandparents while growing up. It's nice to spend time with older
people, and it feels good to know they're betting so much out of it.”
Babies Who Volunteer, the initiative(倡议 ) bringing these generations together,is the inspired idea of Jessica
Turner, a former educational assistant. The idea came about during a March 2018 visit with her 22-month-old
daughter Amelia to a friend's mother, who was living in a long-term-care unit. She was most surprised by the
response of her friend's mother; she hadn't spoken in two years, but with Amelia in her lap, she began singing.
Turner went home and immediately put out a call on a mums' Facebook group: Would anyone be interested in
dropping by seniors' residences with their babies
A year later, there are now 1,500 volunteers, and the organization visits 39 homes in Ottawa. Everyone benefits
from intergenerational programmes, she says. “This playgroup is good for the mothers, too. They're giving
something to the community, which provides a sense of purpose and belonging. It can really help someone who is
feeling isolated(孤独的).”
24. What's the event Eulah never misses at the seniors home
A. A visit with his children.
B. Baby Day performances.
C. Children's regular visit.
D. His shift from routine work.
25. What did Jessica ask mothers to do after her March visit
A. Visit seniors' homes with their babies.
B. Donate to help senior people in the city.
C. Get inspiration for kids from the seniors.
D. Get seniors into social life internationally.
26. What does Jessica think is the benefit of the project
A. Children can grow up with their grandparents.
B. Everyone can meet their need for communication.
C. Online attention can be drawn to the life of seniors.
D. Mothers can have a life goal by reaching out to the old.
27. What is the text mainly about
A. Regular visits to the old. B. The baby effect on seniors.
C. Connection with the seniors. D. Mothers' sense of belonging.

Last Thursday, the world’s first self-driving, electric containe（r 集装箱）ship made its first trip to Oslo, Norway.
The ship’s owners aim to cut pollution by moving large amounts of products by water on the southern coast of
Norway instead of by truck.
The ship, called Yara Birkeland, is owned by Yara, a company that makes fertilizer（化肥） . The company
wanted to develop a zero-pollution ship that was completely autonomous（ self-driving） . Yara worked with a
ship-building company called Vard and the technology company Kongsberg to develop the ship. The company says
that in the future everything will be done completely by machine.
The Yara Birkeland is a container ship, able to carry 120 large containers like those pulled by trucks. But the
ship is fully electric and is powered by clean batteries（电池）. The company says the ship has roughly as many
batteries as 100 electric cars. The electricity that will be used to recharge the batteries is produced by water power,
so there’s no pollution at all.
On November 18, the boat traveled from Horten to Oslo, making its first trip ever. But the Yara Birkeland
won’t usually be going to Oslo, and it won’t be traveling far, either. It will travel a regular route from Yara’s factory
in Porsgrunn up to the port in Brevik, covering a distance of about 8. 7 miles. Yara normally uses trucks to move
fertilizer between these locations.
Now, with the Yara Birkeland moving huge amounts of fertilizer by water, the company expects to cut out 40,
000 yearly trips by oil-powered trucks. That will prevent about 2, 204, 620 pounds of carbon from being let out
every year.
In the future, as an autonomous ship, the Yara Birkeland is expected to operate without any human control.
Yara plans to spend the next two years training and testing the ship. But, as with many autonomous cars, the ship
will continue to have humans watching out even once the ship is driving by itself.
28. What do the first two paragraphs tell us about Yara
A. It aims for green transportation.
B. It makes money by building ships.
C. It uses machines to do everything.
D. It’s an information technology company.
29. What does the author mainly want to tell us in paragraph 3
A. Why ships are better than trucks.
B. How large and powerful the ship is.
C. What makes the ship pollution-free.
D. What special batteries the ship uses.
30. What will be a regular practice of Yara in the future
A. Moving goods from Horten to Oslo by road.
B. Moving goods from Horten to Oslo by water.
C. Moving goods from Porsgrunn to Brevik by road.
D. Moving goods from Porsgrunn to Brevik by water.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. Humans Are Not Needed in Future Shipping
B. Self-driving Is Not Limited to Cars Any More
C. Electric, Self-driving Container Ship Sets off
D. Shipping Goods with Less Pollution Is Possible

D
Strangely enough, music is no fun at all for some people. About four per cent of the population is what
scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes.
Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between
two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.
As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal
hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be
difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels
like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why
many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and
social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered
that she was amusic.
By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The
difference is complex, and it doesn't involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds
well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just
can't see certain colours.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about
her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it
easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, ‘No, thanks, I am amusic,’ ”says Margaret.
“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”
32. Amusics have the following characteristics except that _________.
A. they are born without the ability to recognize musical notes
B. they hate music and often keep off places where there is music
C. they are set apart from others as they fail to enjoy music
D. they prefer to make metal noise rather than listen to music
33. How do scientists finally identify the unusual condition of amusics
A. By sorting documents and data.
B. By studying people with amusic.
C. By making a lot of experiments.
D. By drawing on research results of others.
34. What does the underlined word most probably mean in the passage
A.Detective. B. Acute.
C. Imperfect. D. Artificial.
35. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that ________.
A. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy
B. she hadn't felt embarrassed about her problem
C. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier
D. there could be a better name for her condition

How to fight back-to-school anxiety
August is the time to prepare for a new school year.
36 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead.
37 Like any new activity, a new school year is always easier when you're prepared for it. Get your
class schedule in advance so you know exactly what to expect that first day. Make sure you're prepared with all the

anxious when you're trying to be something you're not. Find activities, clubs or organizations that truly interest you.

Get help. It's not abnormal for any teen to feel stressed about an upcoming school year. But if your feelings of
anxiety or depression are affecting your ability to eat, sleep or function on a daily basis, it's time to seek
professional help. 40
A. Get ready.
B. Stick to a tight schedule.
C. When you're a teen, fitting in is important.

An act of kindness doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. Even those small acts of kindness can make a difference
in someone’s day. That was just the case for Amie Mickey when she 41 a bumper sticker on her car reading:
You Matter.
Amie started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 42 it. However, much
to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 43 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people
44 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 45 , waving and smiling.
Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 46 too! ”
Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 47 when a man driving a sports car at a high
speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter! ” Though it took her some time to
recover from the 48 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 49 her car while she was waiting for
her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a/an 50 sticker. I’ve seen various stickers before,
but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done.” The two small words on the sticker seem simple
enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 51 to catch sight of the sticker.
Stories like Amie’s really 52 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 53
and it doesn’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the
children when their children 54 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at animal shelters or
shelters for the homeless. Acts of kindness are waiting everywhere. Small as they seem, they can make a 55
impact on the world, and help form general goodness.

第二节 读后续写（满分 25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
My school had a tradition during the ninth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket（ the school
colors), was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for nine years.
I had been a straight A student since the first grade and had looked forward very much to owning that jacket.
My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed five children, so I was given to my
grandparents to raise. There would never be a school sports jacket for me because we couldn’t afford it. This
scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day in May, I happened to overhear Mr. Schmidt, my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, my maths teacher
arguing about me. “I refuse to do it! I don’t care who her father is; her grades can’t match Martha’s at all. I won’t
lie or falsify（伪造）records, ” said Mr. Schmidt angrily.
But Mr. Boone’s voice sounded calm. “Joann’s father is on the board（董事会）, and he also owns the only store
in town. We could say it was a close tie and...”
The pounding in my ears drowned out the rest of the words, only few words here and there filtering through.
“...Martha is Mexican...won’t do it...”
To this day I don’t remember how I made it through the rest of the afternoon. That night, I cried into my pillow
so Grandmother wouldn’t hear me.
The next day the principal （校长）called me into his office. “Martha, ” he said, “there’s been a change in
policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. This year the board has decided to charge fifteen dollars, which
still won’t cover the complete cost of the jacket. So if you are unable to pay the money for the jacket, it will be
given to the next one in line for it. ”
Standing with all the dignity（尊严） I could find, I said, “I’ll speak to my grandpa about it, sir, and let you
know tomorrow. ” That day, I cried sadly on the walk home.
注意：续写词数应为 150左右。
By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. ______________

【写作思路】作者在九年级毕业之际所受到的不公正待遇。作者所在的学校在九年级毕业期间有一个传统：
把一件漂亮的金绿色夹克衫奖励给连续九年保持最高分的学生。作者自一年级起就是一名全优生，所以作
者非常期待能获得那件夹克衫。但是一天，作者却偶然听到了两位老师关于是否把那件夹克衫奖励给作者
的争执。第二天，校长把作者叫到他的办公室，告诉了作者关于夹克衫的政策变化：需要支付 15美元，才
能把夹克衫奖励给作者。于是，作者对校长说作者会和作者的祖父说这件事并在明天告知他作者的决定。
那天，在走回家的路上，作者伤心地哭了。
【谋篇布局】根据续写第一段中的“I found my grandpa in the bean field”可以推测，作者与祖父之间会有
对话，而这次对话会让作者有所感悟；根据续写第二段中的“sad and disappointed”可以推测，作者与祖父商
量的结果是不会花钱去买那件夹克衫。而从所给的文本中提及的两位老师的争执可知，关于这个奖励政策，
学校的老师也有不同的观点，同时，作者又是一名非常优秀的学生，据此可推测，最终故事的结局很可能
是作者获得了应得的奖励。
One possible version:
By the time I got home, my eyes were red and swollen. I found my grandpa in the bean field. Sensing something
wrong, he asked me what happened with great concern. I murmured the principal’s words, after which Grandpa’s
eyes rounded in disbelief. Feeling a surge of regret, I really hated to see my gray-haired grandpa’s disappointment.
Time ticking by, he let out a long sigh, “My child, an award bought can’t be called an award. ” I nodded
understandingly. But who knew how reluctant and bitter I was
I dragged into the principal’s office the next day, sad and disappointed. My head still lifted with dignity, I tried
to fight back the tears, stammering, “I cannot...afford the jacket, sir. ” Staring into my eyes, the principal suddenly
grinned, “I have good news for you. ” I looked at him in confusion. “The board made the final decision that an
award cannot be bought just for the sake of winners’ dignity. ” I pinched my hand only to find I was not dreaming.
Only at that moment did I believe that Mr. Schmidt and my grandpa were right: never can awards be falsified or
bought.
