A. Choose the best answer(选择最恰当的答案)(12分)
For many kids in Africa, the colorful PlayPump is the first playground equipment they’ve ever seen. When they give it a push and jump in for their first ride, smiles of wonder break out on their faces.
The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder. This invention doesn’t just change their play-time. It changes their lives.
As the merry-go-round starts, it pumps clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank. People are welcome to come and help themselves to the water for free.
In the countryside of Africa, few people drink clean water. They don’t have water equipment in their homes. Instead they often walk a long way to carry water back.
Patricia Molope, 15, explains that before her South African village got a PlayPump, people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes. “Sometimes the taxi drivers were busy and we would have to stop bathing in order to save water. It was too far to walk there, but now we have our own clean water in our village, and life is better.”
The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls. Carrying water for miles and hours each day is such a big job that sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school.
Thanks to the PlayPump, getting water is quick and easy------ and even boys join in. The pumps have become a new activity. Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.
Twelve-year-old boy Khumalo says, “I have seen many kinds of water pumps, but never one that can keep water. When I grow up, I want to be an inventor so I can invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country.”
So far, more than 800 Playpumps are operating in schools and neighborhood in four African countries, providing water for almost two million people.
( )1. To get water from PlayPump, people need to __________.
A) walk long distances B) push it first
C) run round it in circles D) using a big tank
( )2. “It” in the third paragraph refers to __________.
A) pump B) merry-go-round
C) clean water D) underground
( )3. For Patricia Molope, getting water used to be hard because ________.
A) she didn’t know how to use a PlayPump
B) she had no money to pay a taxi driver
C) the only place to get water was far away from home
D) there was not enough water in the well
( )4. Twelve-year-old Khumalo is a _________.
A) local African boy B) world famous inventor
C) school teacher D) native taxi driver
( )5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about PlayPump
A) People need to pay for the clean water from PlayPump.
B) Both children and parents enjoy the ride on PlayPump.
C) PlayPump makes the life of the Africans much easier.
D) About two million Africans are using the water from PlayPump.
( )6. What is the main idea of the story
A) PlayPump can bring people together
B) PlayPump is the world’s greatest invention.
C) Every country in the world is thirsty.
D) PlayPump helps turn work into play.
B. Choose the best words or expressions and complete the passage (12分)
A few weeks ago, I happened to meet my son’s math teacher at a local cafe. We talked about teaching children. We agreed that subjects like math and reading are ___1___ important things that children learn in a classroom. Instead, those little children should be trained to be kind and brave, and become contributors to a larger community.
Every Friday afternoon she asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children whom they’d like to ___2___ with the following week. She also asks the students to name one student who they believe has been abnormal that week. All ballots(选票) are privately handed to her.
After the students go home, she takes out those pieces of paper, places them in front of her and looks for patterns. Who is not getting welcomed by anyone else Who doesn’t even know who to make friends with Who never gets noticed enough to be needed Who had a million friends last week but ___3___ this week
You see, she is not looking for a new seating chart or “abnormal students.” She is looking for ___4___ children. She is looking for children who have difficulty in communicating with other children. And she is trying to find out who is being bullied and who is doing the bullying.
As a teacher, parent and lover of all children, I think that this is the greatest strategy that I have ever seen. It is like taking an X-ray of a classroom to see beneath the surface of things and into the ___5___ of students.
“How long have you been doing this ”I asked.“Ever since Columbine(科伦拜校园枪击案),”she said. This brilliant woman watched Columbine and knew that all violence begins with loneliness. And so she decided to start fighting violence early and often. What she is doing when she sits in her empty classroom ___6___ those lists that were written with 11-year-old hands is saving lives. I am sure of it. She is saving lives!

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words:（14分）
Maths, more than any other subject causes anxiety in students. Maths anxiety or fear of maths is actually quite common. Usually maths anxiety comes from unpleasant experiences in maths. When anxious students look at maths problems, their minds go c_1_____ blank. They feel stupid, and they can’t remember how to do even the s_2_____ things.
Students with maths anxiety usually have difficulties in f___3___ their minds on the maths problems. Their brains seem to shut down when a maths problem appears. Fear and anxiety take the place of clear t__4____. Finally they give up their efforts to understand.
For some students, maths anxiety can turn into a great block forever. Maths teachers can help them move away this block by p_5_____ the students with more support and encouraging them in maths study. However, a simple “you can do it” is not enough. I__6____, the teachers need to prove to the students that they can do it, convincing them——by telling them stories of successful experiences——that they can do maths better than they think. In addition, teachers should move towards a real-life way to maths, with more attention on understanding and less on memorization, more on application and less on computation, more on students’ participation and less on t__7___ lectures.
D. Answer the questions: ( 12分)
Weighing too much can damage your health, and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world. Sleep might be one answer to the problem. A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.
Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more, but scientists have had a hard time deciding "which came first, the chicken or the egg," says Julie C. Lumeng of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In other words, it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping, or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain. Both scenarios(情境) seemed equally possible.
To get a better idea of which causes which, Lumeng and colleagues interviewed the parents of 800 third graders from around the United States. The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year. Three years later, the parents answered the same questions.
By sixth grade, about 18 percent of kids interviewed in the study were overweight. The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender. It also didn't matter how strict their parents were, or whether they were boys or girls. Obesity struck all of these groups equally.
Instead, sleep seemed to be the key factor. Over the 3 years of the study, the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Some kids, however, slept a lot more--or less--than others.
For the sixth graders, every hour of sleep above the 9.5-hour average was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being overweight. Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders. Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity by sixth grade.
"I expected we would find that this (sleep link with obesity) was just a bunch of bunk," says Lumeng, a pediatrician(儿科医师). But their findings were convincing. No matter how her team looked at the link, "we couldn't make it go away."—Emily Sohn.

When Jason’s parents saw him for the first time, they were shocked. This lovely little baby with shining blue eyes and curly hair was born disabled. But soon the young couple accepted this fact: Jason’s arms are just half without hands and his legs aren’t fully grown either. They even forgot to think of him as disabled.
At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics and play with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an electric wheelchair, but he never uses it at home or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.
Jason learned handwriting and coloring at school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also learned to eat with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never had a pair of shoes in his life because of the shape of his feet. He only wore socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he refused to give up. His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic ways made him a respected player on the school team. He went to a famous university after high school.
Now Jason still faces many hardships in life, but he will make you believe that you can do what he has done. “Never be afraid of any difficulty”, Jason often encourages others in his speeches.

When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Wheeler wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries weather, customs, and places to see. But unlike other travel books then, Tony Wheeler’s book also talked about places more tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do. The book was very popular.
Tony and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet. They continued travelling. They wrote books for each place they visited. Today, 800 people work for Lonely Planet. The company has over 650 books. Tony Wheeler, the great traveler, still writes about travels to many places and will bring us more surprises.
