There are so many things that make the years I spent in high school memorable for me. But none as memorable as the homecoming(校友返校聚会) dance where I learned how to get over my fear of speaking to people met for the first time and get to know more about my parents.
During this homecoming, I decided to make a change — instead of making plans with my best friends to go to the dance as a group, I invited a girl to be my partner, who tutored me in math and science. At first, I was extremely nervous because of being surrounded by people unfamiliar and even could not speak out a word. My partner noticed my dilemma(困境) and took me to meet with her friends at the homecoming dance. Thanks to her company, I gradually felt at ease talking with newly-met people.
I remember my best friend telling me “High school reunions are an excuse for people of our parents’ age to act like kids even if only for one night.” I had to agree with him when I saw my parents dancing to Thriller by Michael Jackson that night. I was surprised and went towards them when they finished their dancing, “You look like my parents, but I don’t think they would dance as well as you do.” I said in a joking fashion. They simply smiled at me and my mom asked if I wanted to dance with her while my dad danced with my partner. I am glad that I took the chance to dance with my mom. We have not danced together ever since.
That was the night I learned how to be a gentleman and chat with people with social graces. It was also one of the almost unbelievable nights when my parents and I enjoyed each other’s company and learned about each other’s experiences.

The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating as well as lighting.
These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels.There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) that is now being tested out. LPG (Liquefield Petroleum Gas) cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves. WHO experts note that some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.
But this,the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances/devices.
8. What does the indoor pollution mainly result from
A. Poisonous fuels. B. High technology. C. Space heaters. D. Solar energy.
9. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By showing differences. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a list. D. By analyzing data.
10. What can we infer from the passage
A. Indoor pollution results in some deaths.
B. Most of the deaths are in developing countries.
C. The solid fuels are used in more effective ways.
D. There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. LPG cooks are being tested out. B. Alcohol stoves are widely used now.
C. Electric induction stoves are expensive. D. Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.(这些发现表明，在低效的炉子、空间加热器或照明中使用致命燃料是造成许多死亡的原因)”可知，室内污染的主要原因是有毒燃料。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.(世卫组织官员说，室内污染会导致中风、心脏病和肺病、儿童肺炎和肺癌等疾病的过早死亡。妇女和女童是主要受害者。这些疾病往往是由燃烧固体燃料引起的。这些燃料包括木材、煤炭、动物粪便、作物粪便和木炭)”可推知，第三段主要是通过列举来展开的。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.(联合国发现，撒哈拉以南非洲地区超过95%的家庭依靠固体燃料做饭。该组织说，印度、中国以及危地马拉和秘鲁等拉美国家的大量人口也面临风险)”可推知，大多数死亡发生在发展中国家。故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.(在非洲，你花不到1美元就能买到一盏太阳能灯)”可知，D选项“太阳能灯在非洲很便宜”正确。故选D。
D
Imagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes’ walk. The problem is that there’s a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend’s home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves.
Instead, you have a video conversation with your friend, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You’ve lost out on exercise and time outside, interacting with your neighborhood and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today - but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Tim Gill, the author of Urban Children: Growing Up in a Risky Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows “everyday freedom”, so children can spread their wings as they grow. “It’s not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places they have to be taken to by adults,” says Gill.
“Society’s mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy - rather than the environment, health and quality of life,” argues Gill, “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It’s because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.”
Tim Gill lists five challenges for urban children in his book: traffic and pollution, high-rise living, crime and social fears, inadequate and unequal access to the city.
Designing cities with young people in mind - particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction - stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050, around 70 percent of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.
12. Why does the author make an assumption in the first paragraph
A. To show his doubts. B. To give an example.
C. To present the issue. D. To express his opinion.
13. What problem does the author want to raise about urban children
A. They have few friends.
B. They spend much time on videos.
C. They are unhealthy for lack of exercise.
D. They lose “freedom” because of the risky society.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Low quality of life. B. Lack of public spaces.
C. Improper city planning. D. Criticism on city planners.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Paying attention to young children B. The call for a child-friendly city
C. Challenges for urban children D. Problems in modern cities
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章提出孩子们因城市不安全因素丧失活动自由的问题。指出了我们城市规划中存在的问题。最后呼吁建立孩子友好型城市。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到假设你10岁，你住在大城市。如果你想去找自己最好的朋友玩，只需要5分钟就可以走到他家。然后再走10分钟，你就可以到公园了。但是问题是，你家和朋友家之间有一条危险的大马路。朋友家和公园之间也有一条大马路。你问爸爸妈妈你可以自己去找朋友玩吗，他们不准你去。而且他们也没空送你去好朋友家。作者第一句话首先imagine（做假设），然后第二句话就提出the problem（问题）。所以前面的假设主要是为后面的问题做铺垫。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第一段讲因为一些外在的危险你不能去朋友家，第二段提到因为不能去朋友家，所以许多孩子待在家里视频、玩游戏。他们失去了外出锻炼以及与人交流的机会。这就是城市孩子们的现状。第三段提到Tim Gill的观点，孩子友好型城市应该给予孩子们充分的自由。综合这三段内容，作者主要是提出孩子因为城市危险因素而丧失了部分自由的问题。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。由“Society’s mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy - rather than the environment, health and quality of life,” argues Gill, “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that”可知，Gill认为我们的城市规划只注重车辆、房屋建设以及经济而没有考虑环境、健康以及生活质量这些因素。You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that。这是一个双重否定句表肯定意义。意思是所有的城市规划者都赞同这一点。that指代前一句话Gill的观点，即我们的城市规划不合理。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段“Designing cities with young people in mind - particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction - stands to be an issue of growing concern globally.”可知，作者认为城市设计应考虑到孩子们的安全以及社交需求。第一段第二段作者提出问题即孩子们因城市不安全因素丧失活动自由。中间段落提到了我们现今城市规划的一些问题。最后一段提倡城市设计应该考虑到孩子们的需求和安全。纵观全文，作者旨在呼吁建立一个孩子友好型城市。故选B项。

However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.
“Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up. on yourself.” Mr. Roberts had hesitated, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage ” Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha ”
Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class ” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first- not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”

Restored and determined, she gritted her teeth to find her courage. In front of the mirror parked Neisha continuously practicing from pronunciation to tone, even gesture. “Try harder,” she perked herself up when drowsiness fell upon her.
Paragraph 2:
The next day Niesha again walked to the front of the classroom to give her presentation. Shy, she customarily lowered her head and averted her gaze, numb there for seconds. Shortly afterwards, courage found its way back the moment she caught sight of the blue ribbon. Comforted and inspired, she took a deep breath, summoned up her courage, “Dear fellow students, ...” Niesha cast a glance at Mr. Roberts standing in the corner smiling at her. A self-reassuring smile spread across Niesha’s face. She knew for sure that she had found her courage, in the mill and in the adversity.

There are so many things that make the years I spent in high school memorable for me. But none as memorable as the homecoming(校友返校聚会) dance where I learned how to get over my fear of speaking to people met for the first time and get to know more about my parents.
During this homecoming, I decided to make a change — instead of making plans with my best friends to go to the dance as a group, I invited a girl to be my partner, who tutored me in math and science. At first, I was extremely nervous because of being surrounded by people unfamiliar and even could not speak out a word. My partner noticed my dilemma(困境) and took me to meet with her friends at the homecoming dance. Thanks to her company, I gradually felt at ease talking with newly-met people.
I remember my best friend telling me “High school reunions are an excuse for people of our parents’ age to act like kids even if only for one night.” I had to agree with him when I saw my parents dancing to Thriller by Michael Jackson that night. I was surprised and went towards them when they finished their dancing, “You look like my parents, but I don’t think they would dance as well as you do.” I said in a joking fashion. They simply smiled at me and my mom asked if I wanted to dance with her while my dad danced with my partner. I am glad that I took the chance to dance with my mom. We have not danced together ever since.
That was the night I learned how to be a gentleman and chat with people with social graces. It was also one of the almost unbelievable nights when my parents and I enjoyed each other’s company and learned about each other’s experiences.

The World Health Organization warns that millions of people are dying every year from indoor air pollution. Nearly three billion people are unable to use clean fuels and technologies for cooking, heating as well as lighting.
These findings show that the use of deadly fuels in inefficient stoves, space heaters or lights is to blame for many of these deaths.
WHO officials say indoor pollution leads to early deaths from stroke, heart and lung disease, childhood pneumonia and lung cancer. Women and girls are the main victims. These diseases can often result from the burning of solid fuels. These fuels include wood, coal, animal waste, crop waste and charcoal.
The United Nations found that more than 95 percent of households in sub-Saharan Africa depend on solid fuels for cooking. It says huge populations in India, China and Latin American countries, such as Guatermala and Peru,are also at risk.
Nigel Brace is a professor of Public Health at the University of Liverpool. He says researchers are developing good cook-stoves and other equipment to burn fuels in a more efficient way.There are already multiple technologies available for use in clean fuels.There is really quite an effective and reasonably low-cost alcohol stove made by Dometic (a Sweden-based company) that is now being tested out. LPG (Liquefield Petroleum Gas) cook is obviously widely available and efforts are under way to make those efficient. Another interesting development is electric induction stoves. WHO experts note that some new, safe and low-cost technologies that could help are already available. In India, you can buy an induction stove for about $8.00. And in Africa you can buy a solar lamp for less than $1.00.
But this,the agency says, is just a start. It is urging developing countries to use cleaner fuels and increase access to cleaner and more modern cooking and heating appliances/devices.
8. What does the indoor pollution mainly result from
A. Poisonous fuels. B. High technology. C. Space heaters. D. Solar energy.
9. How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By showing differences. B. By describing a process.
C. By making a list. D. By analyzing data.
10. What can we infer from the passage
A. Indoor pollution results in some deaths.
B. Most of the deaths are in developing countries.
C. The solid fuels are used in more effective ways.
D. There is no indoor pollution in developed countries.
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. LPG cooks are being tested out. B. Alcohol stoves are widely used now.
C. Electric induction stoves are expensive. D. Solar lamps are very cheap in Africa.
D
Imagine you are 10 years old. You live in a big city and want to visit your best friend, a five-minute walk away, and then you can go to the park, another 10 minutes’ walk. The problem is that there’s a big dangerous road between you and your friend, and another between your friend’s home and the park. When you ask your parents if you can walk there, they say no. But they are too busy to take you there themselves.
Instead, you have a video conversation with your friend, or perhaps you play a video game on the sofa. You’ve lost out on exercise and time outside, interacting with your neighborhood and, of course, play time with your friend. This is the reality for many kids today - but it doesn’t have to be this way.
Tim Gill, the author of Urban Children: Growing Up in a Risky Society, says a child-friendly city is one that allows “everyday freedom”, so children can spread their wings as they grow. “It’s not enough to just talk about playgrounds and nice, pretty public spaces. That just creates play places they have to be taken to by adults,” says Gill.
“Society’s mistake is that our planning systems just focus on cars, house-building and the economy - rather than the environment, health and quality of life,” argues Gill, “You won’t find any urban planners who can disagree with that. It’s because our decision-makers fail to look beyond the next two or three years.”
Tim Gill lists five challenges for urban children in his book: traffic and pollution, high-rise living, crime and social fears, inadequate and unequal access to the city.
Designing cities with young people in mind - particularly outdoor spaces that encourage safe movement and social interaction - stands to be an issue of growing concern globally. By 2050, around 70 percent of people will live in cities, and the majority of them will be under 18. Today, over a billion children are growing up in cities.
12. Why does the author make an assumption in the first paragraph
A. To show his doubts. B. To give an example.
C. To present the issue. D. To express his opinion.
13. What problem does the author want to raise about urban children
A. They have few friends.
B. They spend much time on videos.
C. They are unhealthy for lack of exercise.
D They lose “freedom” because of the risky society.
14. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A Low quality of life. B. Lack of public spaces.
C. Improper city planning. D. Criticism on city planners.
15. What would be the best title for the text
A. Paying attention to young children B. The call for a child-friendly city
C. Challenges for urban children D. Problems in modern cities

Niesha could not forget the way she had frozen in front of the class today. Mr. Roberts had divided the class into groups to do presentations. Today had been Niesha’s turn. However, her hands had shaken so badly that she couldn’t read her notes. Her voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly ended Niesha’s part of the presentation even though she had clearly not finished. He had also asked Niesha to stay after class for a moment.
“Niesha, I know you’re shy, but you worked hard on this project. I’d hate to see you give up. on yourself.” Mr. Roberts had hesitated, “If I give you another chance until tomorrow, do you think you can find your courage ” Niesha had nodded, grateful for the chance. She had gone as quickly as she could to her next class. She had kept her head down and hoped the school day would end soon.
When she reached her back steps that afternoon, she could see an inviting light coming from the kitchen windows. Momma was baking. Momma studied Niesha’s face as she came into the kitchen. “What’s wrong, Niesha ”
Tears shone in Niesha’s brown eyes. She told her the whole story. Momma was silent for a moment, her hands still busy with the cake. “Why is it that you can talk to me about anything and everything, but you can’t talk to your class ” Momma asked. She set the timer and then said, “Let me show you something.”
Niesha followed Momma to her bedroom. There Momma showed her a book filled with newspaper clippings and pictures. In it there was a blue ribbon that said “First Place” and a picture of herself when she was very young, standing with her parents.
“I won it for public speaking. I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. It wasn’t easy at first- not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”
