Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.
Fort William
Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers, you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.

C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Fort William.

Elmer Alvarez was a homeless man when he found a $10K check in New Haven, Connecticut. Instead of cashing it in for himself, he looked for its rightful owner.
The owner of the large check was a real estate (房地产) agent named Roberta Hoskie. She was on a busy schedule doing business around town when her check slipped away in a busy crossing. She didn’t realize she lost it until the next day.
They settled the day they met to hand over the check . Elmer came with a friend. It turned out he couldn’t speak English that well and asked for the help of a stranger to translate what he wanted to do. Roberta also found something about Elmer that shocked her—Elmer was homeless.
And since Roberta is in the real estate business, she realized she could send Elmer to the real estate school to be a part of her company. Not only that, but she also rewarded him with an apartment and paid seven month’s worth of rent to help him get back on his feet. Roberta’s heart was drawn to Elmer’s story because it reminded her of her own past.
She once lived in a shelter, as a single mom with only around $400 to raise her son—until one day, someone blessed her with a job that led her to her success right now. Her experience of being homeless reminded her that she could be a blessing to someone and change their life, too. A year after they met , Roberta and Elmer started Outreach Foundation, a transitional home for homeless teenagers, providing support like church services, substance abuse awareness , and education.
Elmer’s honesty is something that should be applauded. And in the end, he went from not having a roof over his head, to being capable of lending a hand to others who are really in need.
4. What do we know about Roberta from the text
A. She is homeless. B. She is a success.
C. She is out of work. D. She has a happy family.

It seems like giant pandas might not be the best at hide-and-seek. With their noticeable black and white coats, they would appear to have a hard time blending (融合) into so many environments. But a new study finds that the symbolic markings help them disappear into their surroundings.
For their study, researchers analysed photos of giant pandas in their natural habitat. They found that the animals are good at visually (视觉上地) hiding in their environments because they use habitats with dark and lighting conditions, and also snow during some of the year.
They found that the black fur blends mainly into shade and dark tree trunks (树干). But it also matches the ground, rocks, and leaves. The white fur matches snow, rocks, and bright leaves. Sometimes pandas also have pale brown fur that blends into rocks, ground, leaves, and shady background areas.
As a last step, the researchers used a color map technique to compare how giant pandas resemble their background with other species that are considered able to visually hide in their environments. They found that pandas fell in the middle of this list.
It might seem a bit confusing because giant pandas are very easy to discover at a zoo. But the viewer and environment make a difference. “We modeled their coloration through predators’(捕食者的) eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,“ study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. ”It seems that giant pandas appear eye-catching to us because of short viewing distances and specific backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a background that doesn’t reflect their natural habitat,“ says author Nick Scott—Samuel of the University of Bristol.
8. What did the researchers find out about giant pandas
A. Their coloring helps them hide in nature.
B. They are well protected in nature reserves.
C They can always find their favourite surroundings.
D. They have difficulty adapting to new environments.
9. What is explained in Paragraph3
A. Pandas take cover in trees. B. Brown pandas are very unique.
C. There’re many types of giant pandas. D. Different colors serve different functions.
10. What does the underlined word “resemble” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Stay in. B. Look like. C. Come from. D. Get familiar with.
11. What do the study authors Caro and Nick intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To tell us the importance of pandas’ living in natural habitats.
B. To show the living conditions of giant pandas in a zoo.
C. To give a further explanation to clear people’s doubts.
D. To list people’s different points of view on their study.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现大熊猫的颜色有助于它们隐藏在大自然中，介绍了其研究过程以及大熊猫身上不同的颜色的不同功能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study finds that the symbolic markings help them disappear into their surroundings.(但一项新的研究发现，这些象征性的标记帮助它们消失在周围的环境中)”以及第二段中“They found that the animals are good at visually (视觉上地) hiding in their environments because they use habitats with dark and lighting conditions, and also snow during some of the year.(在他们的研究中，研究人员分析了大熊猫在自然栖息地的照片。他们发现，这种动物善于在视觉上隐藏在环境中，因为它们的栖息地有黑暗和照明条件，而且在一年中的某些时候还会下雪)”可知，关于大熊猫，研究人员发现了它们的颜色有助于它们隐藏在大自然中。故选A。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“They found that the black fur blends mainly into shade and dark tree trunks (树干). But it also matches the ground, rocks, and leaves. The white fur matches snow, rocks, and bright leaves. Sometimes pandas also have pale brown fur that blends into rocks, ground, leaves, and shady background areas.(他们发现，黑色皮毛主要与树荫和深色树干融为一体。但它也与地面、岩石和树叶相匹配。白色的皮毛与雪、岩石和明亮的树叶相匹配。有时熊猫也有浅棕色的皮毛，可以融入岩石、地面、树叶和阴暗的背景区域)”可知，第三段解释了熊猫身上不同的颜色有不同的功能。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后文“that are considered able to visually hide in their environments”可知，这些物种被认为能够在视觉上隐藏在环境中，说明研究人员使用了一种彩色地图技术来比较大熊猫与其他物种的背景相似程度，故画线词意思是“与……相似、像”。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It might seem a bit confusing because giant pandas are very easy to discover at a zoo. But the viewer and environment make a difference. “We modeled their coloration through predators’(捕食者的) eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,“ study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. ”It seems that giant pandas appear eye-catching to us because of short viewing distances and specific backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a background that doesn’t reflect their natural habitat,“ says author Nick Scott—Samuel of the University of Bristol.( 这似乎有点令人困惑，因为在动物园里很容易发现大熊猫。但观众和环境会产生影响。布里斯托尔大学的研究作者Tim Caro说：“我们通过捕食者的眼睛以及人类的眼睛来模拟它们的颜色，所以我们对结果很确定。”作者、布里斯托尔大学的Nick Scott—Samuel说：“大熊猫之所以吸引我们的眼球，似乎是因为它们的观景距离很短，背景也很特殊：当我们在照片或动物园里看到它们时，几乎都是近距离的，而且背景往往不能反映它们的自然栖息地。”)”可推知，最后一段中，研究作者Caro和Nick旨在进一步解释以消除人们的疑虑。故选C。
D
If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs(00后）．The 21st century. That would make you young,creative, connected, global,and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking,too. Right But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the“face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends,and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍）to become successful in real life-or“IRL”， as you would say
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by"helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well,probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.
So if you're one of the oh-ohs,there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL（laugh out loud).
12. Today's teenagers are thought of as the face-down generation because
A. They are busy texting
B. They use their phones a lot
C. They deal with school and family with their phones
D. They become successful with their phones
13. What does"helicopter parents" mean in Paragraph 3
A. Parents who prefer to live like teenagers
B. Parents who often fly everywhere for their business
C. Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their children
D. Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extra-curricular activities
14. What does the writer think about the face-down generation
A. They are annoyed.
B. They are powerful.
C. They are spoilt.
D. They are positive.
15. What's the best title of this passage
A. The face-down generation
B. The young generation
C. The generation gap
D. The future generation
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文，论述了成年人对于00后的担忧。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他人，对他们的未来充满了希望。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They think of you as the“face-down generation” because you use your phone so much ”（他们认为你们是“脸朝下的一代”，因为你们经常使用手机。）可知，之所有被称为“脸朝下的一代”是因为他们是经常使用手机的一代。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中关于helicopter parents后定语从句的描述“… who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports.”（他们总是在那里指导和帮助孩子完成繁忙的家庭作业和课外活动，如舞蹈、绘画或体育。）由此可知“helicopter parents”就是指那些总是照顾和指引自己孩子的那些父母。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well,probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.”（“脸朝下的一代”需要提醒吗 好吧,也许不是。事实是，今天的许多青少年比过去几代人受到了更好的教育，也更有创造力。他们似乎也很热情，愿意成为领导者。越来越多的年轻人自愿帮助他们的社区。还有一些勇敢的年轻人，比如Malala Yousafzai，她因推动女孩上学权利而获得2014年诺贝尔和平奖。）可知，作者认为“脸朝下的一代”是充满正能量的。作者对他们的看法是积极的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句提出“But what do other people think about your generation ”（但是其他人怎么看你们这一代人呢 ）后，下文论述了成年人对于00后的种种担忧，认为他们经常使用手机，称他们是“脸朝下”的一代，也担心“直升机父母”将他们宠坏了。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他们，对他们的未来充满希望。因此文章是讨论关于00后的不同的看法。所以短文的最佳标题为“脸朝下的一代”。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界各地的节日以及庆祝活动。
【36题详解】
考查时态，语态和主谓一致。句意：自古以来，各地都有各种各样的节日和庆祝活动。由“since ancient times”可知，句子时态是现在完成时，且节日和庆祝活动是被举行，因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态，即have/has been done，主语“Festivals and celebrations of all kinds”是复数，因此空格处是have been held。故填have been held。
【37题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：今天的节日有很多起源。many后跟名词的复数origins。故填origins。
【38题详解】
考查不定式。句意：有些节日是为了纪念死者或满足祖先的需要而举行的。根据语境可知，句子表示“有些节日是为了纪念死者或满足祖先的需要而举行的”，因此空格处用不定式to honor表目的，故填to honor。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：最充满活力和最重要的节日是那些期待冬天结束和春天到来的节日。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词festivals，energy的形容词是energetic，意为“充满活力的”，空格前有“The most”，因此空格处用形容词原级，和前面的“The most”构成形容词的最高级，故填energetic。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：最充满活力和最重要节日是那些期待冬天结束和春天到来的节日。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词ones是不定代词，因此空格处用关系代词that引导定语从句，故填that。
【41题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：在中国的春节，人们吃饺子、鱼和肉，并可能给孩子们红包。空格处用定冠词the特指中国的春节，故填the。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：在中国的春节，人们吃饺子、鱼和肉，并可能给孩子们红包。根据常识可知，过春节大人是把压岁钱放在红包里，因此空格处表示“在……里面”，是介词in，故填in。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：一些西方国家有非常令人兴奋的嘉年华会，在复活节前四十天举行，通常在二月。空格处用形容词作定语修饰名词carnivals，carnivals是物，修饰物用ing结尾的形容词，即exciting，意为“令人兴奋的”。故填exciting。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：一些西方国家有非常令人兴奋的嘉年华会，在复活节前四十天举行，通常在二月。空格处用副词usually修饰介词短语“in February”，作状语，usually意为“通常”，故填usually。
【45题详解】
考查动名词和固定短语。句意：因为在节日期间，人们可以聚在一起，互相享受一切，暂时忘记工作。have fun doing sth.是固定短语，意为“做某事很愉快”，因此空格处用动名词enjoying，作宾语，故填enjoying。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze. It felt as though my soul departed my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the roster (名单) posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends' names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze. I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team while I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey, coach, are you sure that the roster you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading (担心) his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year, there is always next year,” the coach replied.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Trying to forget about the situation, I headed over to the cafeteria to buy some food. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day. Everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being the only one in our friend group failing to make the team.
I saw my father's red car pull up near the school lot. I walked up to the car and got in. He smiled at me, turned on the radio, and started driving home. And soon he noticed my gloomy face, and asked me what was wrong. “Nothing. Well, it's just that all my friends made the school team. Everyone! Except me...” I stammered (口吃). “Well, what are you going to do about it Are you just going to sit there and wait ” he asked. Surprised, I didn't know what to say.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I just shook my head and went into my room.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After almost a year of practicing and training, I tried out for the team again.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I just shook my head and went into my room. I thought hard and realized that nobody was going to give me a place on that team. I would have to earn it. Having decided to work toward my goal of making the team, I biked to the gym near my school every day after school and trained for two hours. There were moments when I didn't think I could keep on going, but I powered through it.
After almost a year of practicing and training, I tried out for the team again. “Believe in yourself,” I said to myself. “Hard work pays off.” After the tryout, I felt confident and congratulated myself. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had worked hard and learned something about mental toughness. The next day, I found out I made the team. Seeing my name printed in large bold letters, I felt as though all my dreams came true. The greater the effort, the sweeter the reward, and by making the team, I had officially made a turnaround.

Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.
Fort William
Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.

Elmer Alvarez was a homeless man when he found a $10K check in New Haven, Connecticut. Instead of cashing it in for himself, he looked for its rightful owner.
The owner of the large check was a real estate (房地产) agent named Roberta Hoskie. She was on a busy schedule doing business around town when her check slipped away in a busy crossing. She didn’t realize she lost it until the next day.
They settled the day they met to hand over the check . Elmer came with a friend. It turned out he couldn’t speak English that well and asked for the help of a stranger to translate what he wanted to do. Roberta also found something about Elmer that shocked her—Elmer was homeless.
And since Roberta is in the real estate business, she realized she could send Elmer to the real estate school to be a part of her company. Not only that, but she also rewarded him with an apartment and paid seven month’s worth of rent to help him get back on his feet. Roberta’s heart was drawn to Elmer’s story because it reminded her of her own past.
She once lived in a shelter, as a single mom with only around $400 to raise her son—until one day, someone blessed her with a job that led her to her success right now. Her experience of being homeless reminded her that she could be a blessing to someone and change their life, too. A year after they met , Roberta and Elmer started Outreach Foundation, a transitional home for homeless teenagers, providing support like church services, substance abuse awareness , and education.
Elmer’s honesty is something that should be applauded. And in the end, he went from not having a roof over his head, to being capable of lending a hand to others who are really in need.
4. What do we know about Roberta from the text
A. She is homeless. B. She is a success.
C. She is out of work. D. She has a happy family.
5. Why was Roberta’s heart attracted by Elmer’s story

C. Because she was thankful to him. D. Because she had a similar experience.
6. Which of the following can best describe Elmer
A. Honest and lucky. B. Helpful and energetic.
C. Poor and sensitive. D. Skillful and generous.
7. What does Elmer’s story tell us
A. It’s never too late to learn. B. He who laughs last laughs best.
C. One good tum deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C
It seems like giant pandas might not be the best at hide-and-seek. With their noticeable black and white coats, they would appear to have a hard time blending (融合) into so many environments. But a new study finds that the symbolic markings help them disappear into their surroundings.
For their study, researchers analysed photos of giant pandas in their natural habitat. They found that the animals are good at visually (视觉上地) hiding in their environments because they use habitats with dark and lighting conditions, and also snow during some of the year.
They found that the black fur blends mainly into shade and dark tree trunks (树干). But it also matches the ground, rocks, and leaves. The white fur matches snow, rocks, and bright leaves. Sometimes pandas also have pale brown fur that blends into rocks, ground, leaves, and shady background areas.
As a last step, the researchers used a color map technique to compare how giant pandas resemble their background with other species that are considered able to visually hide in their environments. They found that pandas fell in the middle of this list.
It might seem a bit confusing because giant pandas are very easy to discover at a zoo. But the viewer and environment make a difference. “We modeled their coloration through predators’(捕食者的) eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,“ study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. ”It seems that giant pandas appear eye-catching to us because of short viewing distances and specific backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a background that doesn’t reflect their natural habitat,“ says author Nick Scott—Samuel of the University of Bristol.
8. What did the researchers find out about giant pandas
A. Their coloring helps them hide in nature.
B. They are well protected in nature reserves.
C. They can always find their favourite surroundings.
D They have difficulty adapting to new environments.
9. What is explained in Paragraph3
A. Pandas take cover in trees. B. Brown pandas are very unique.
C. There’re many types of giant pandas. D. Different colors serve different functions.
10. What does the underlined word “resemble” in Paragraph 4 mean
A Stay in. B. Look like. C. Come from. D. Get familiar with.
11. What do the study authors Caro and Nick intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To tell us the importance of pandas’ living in natural habitats.
B. To show the living conditions of giant pandas in a zoo.
C. To give a further explanation to clear people’s doubts.
D. To list people’s different points of view on their study.
D
If you're reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs(00后）．The 21st century. That would make you young,creative, connected, global,and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking,too. Right But what do other people think about your generation
Some adults worry that you're more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the“face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends,and family. Are today's teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies(自拍）to become successful in real life-or“IRL”， as you would say
Other adults worry that today's youth are spoilt(宠坏的）and don't want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by"helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today's youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well,probably not. The fact is that many of today's teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic(热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai,the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls' rights to go to school.
So if you're one of the oh-ohs,there's reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8(great) and LOL（laugh out loud).
12. Today's teenagers are thought of as the face-down generation because
A. They are busy texting
B. They use their phones a lot
C. They deal with school and family with their phones
D. They become successful with their phones
13. What does"helicopter parents" mean in Paragraph 3
A. Parents who prefer to live like teenagers
B. Parents who often fly everywhere for their business
C. Parents who do dancing, drawing or sports with their children
D. Parents who always guide and help children with homework and extra-curricular activities
14. What does the writer think about the face-down generation
A. They are annoyed.
B. They are powerful.
C. They are spoilt.
D. They are positive.
15. What's the best title of this passage
A. The face-down generation
B. The young generation
C. The generation gap
D. The future generation

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze. It felt as though my soul departed my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the roster (名单) posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends' names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze. I just could not accept that all my friends were on the basketball team while I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Hey, coach, are you sure that the roster you posted is correct ” I asked anxiously, dreading (担心) his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year, there is always next year,” the coach replied.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes, and I ran out of the room as fast as I could. Trying to forget about the situation, I headed over to the cafeteria to buy some food. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. Walking was such a burden that it felt as if I had a 100-pound weight tied to my backpack. My mind was also blank for the rest of the school day. Everything my teachers said went in one ear and out the other.
After school, as I walked to the parking lot to get picked up, I saw all my friends gathered near the back of the lot, celebrating and joking around. I detoured (绕道) around the side of the school to avoid them, trying not to think about being the only one in our friend group failing to make the team.
I saw my father's red car pull up near the school lot. I walked up to the car and got in. He smiled at me, turned on the radio, and started driving home. And soon he noticed my gloomy face, and asked me what was wrong. “Nothing. Well, it's just that all my friends made the school team. Everyone! Except me...” I stammered (口吃). “Well, what are you going to do about it Are you just going to sit there and wait ” he asked. Surprised, I didn't know what to say.

I just shook my head and went into my room.
