三、阅读理解
Welcome to the World Wide School—the best place on the Internet to learn just about anything. Just read, click and learn. We wish you the best.
This site is dedicated to (致力于) the collection, preservation and presentation of educational materials. To attend the World Wide School, all you need to do is devote your time.
For whatever reason, many people may find it difficult to further their education by traditional means; attending high school or college can seem like an impossible dream. That is why we are offering education through the web.
The Hart Library
We are still stocking the Hart Library, a complete library containing everything from novels, poetry to reference materials.
Please note that many of the books and other works provided on this site were written many years ago, before the invention of the radio, atomic bombs and cars. Some are even older, written when the world was run by kings and queens, and most people do not know how to read them. The works reflect the times in which they were written, and many contain views about the race, religion, science and other things that we find annoying or just wrong today.
We believe that part of the value of these works is the window they provide on the past. By providing these books we do not mean to present any point of view, except that education and reading are good.
1.What can we learn about the World Wide School according to the passage
A. It's open only on weekdays.
B. It's open on the Internet.
C. It's open in a very beautiful place.
D. It's open for everyone to kill time.

How to Become a Lifelong Learner
Learning doesn't stop just because school does. Making a commitment to yourself to learn something new every day, you will not only enjoy what you discover, but also be able to apply your knowledge and become a teacher of future generations. Here are some steps to become a lifelong learner.
Learn how you learn.
①_____ Note what learning techniques are the most efficient for you and use them as much as possible, such as viewing online tutorials on websites like YouTube if you're more of a visual learner.
②_____
Try many different things so that you don't trap yourself into believing you're only good at a few things. It's probable that you're good at many things, but you won't know until you've tried.
Look on learning as an exploration and opportunity, not a chore (令人讨厌的工作).
Don't just force yourself to learn things because they're important or necessary. ③_____ Follow your heart, as well as your sense of duty. Do you remember the 8th-grade history that you hated so much, with all those names and dates that seemed to mean nothing The point was to bring you to details that will knit chunks of information together later. ④_____
Read, read, and read.
⑤_____ Reading is a gateway into other worlds and into the minds of your fellow human beings. And reading will help you to learn the discoveries and mistakes of others who have gone before you; reading is, in effect, a short cut which makes you not have to learn things in the hard way.
A.Learn where your talents and interests lie.
B.It was a chore then, but it makes sense now.
C.Determine your own preferable learning style or styles.
D.Recognize the educational value of whatever you read.

三、答案：1-3 BCD
解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的"the best place on the Internet to learn just about anything"可知，World Wide School是一个网上学校。文中并未给出A项的相关信息，故A项属于无中生有；根据第一段第一句可知，World Wide School是网上学校，故C项错误；根据本文第三段可知，开办该校的目的是给想继续学习的人提供机会，而不是"消遣"，D项错误，故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的"many people may find it difficult to further their education by traditional means"可知，很多人可能发现通过传统的方式难以推进他们所受教育的水平；根据第三段尾句"That is why we are offering education through the web."可知，那就是"我们"为什么正通过网络提供教育。据此可知，开办该校的目的是弥补传统教育的不足。
3. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的"We are still stocking the Hart Library"可知，"我们"仍然在往Hart Library里储备（书籍）；据此可知，学校正在增加该图书馆的阅读资料存储量。A项无中生有，文中并未出现相关信息；B项曲解文意，网上图书馆是没有座位的；C项以偏概全，文中虽提及藏书丰富，但不可据此得出图书馆里的小说和诗歌是最丰富的。故选D。
四、答案：①-⑤ CAGBE

③过渡句。上句（不要因为某些东西重要或必要就强迫自己学习）介绍了"不要学什么"，本句应为"应该学什么"，即"相反，学习你需要学习和喜欢学习的东西"，故答案为G项。
④总结句。该空位于段尾，对上文进行总结，也应与这段的标题相呼应，B项（那个时候它是一件令人厌烦的事，但是现在它变得有意义）符合语境。
⑤本段的标题为"读书，读书，读书"，E项（与当地的图书馆经营者、新书和旧书销售商交朋友）告诉我们多读书的具体方法，故答案为E项。Unit 9 Lesson 3 The Secrets of Your Memory

二、阅读理解
A group of sweaty kids ran around a field last week at Total Soccer Arena in Landover, Maryland. They talked not only in English, but also in Pashto, Arabic and other languages.
What made them different is that all of the kids are refugees (难民). They were playing as part of a camp that gives them a chance to develop their soccer skills and to meet other kids who had to start over their lives in the United States. The camp is run by an organization called L. A. C. E. S. , which stands for Life And Change Experienced thru Sports. The group uses soccer to help bring together communities that have experienced hardships.
Seren Fryatt got the idea for L. A. C. E. S. while playing on a women's soccer team in Liberia, an African country that had been at war with itself for 14 years. Fryatt, who's from Muncie, Indiana, saw that soccer brought joy to the Liberian women on her team, even though their lives off the field were very difficult. After starting a soccer program for kids in Liberia , she decided to start a similar camp in Maryland, where she moved in 2015. Coaches volunteer their time, and the costs are paid mostly by donations. This year, 95 kids signed up.
The camp, for ages 9 to 14, is split (分开) between training that helps kids develop skills, such as passing and ball control, and meeting where they discuss life skills. One of the coaches, Louisa Pitney, said she likes seeing how the kids grow just from being together.
At the end of the camp's last day, all the kids gathered in the middle of the field. Fryatt asked them to raise their hands and say what they had learned that week. Some kids talked about soccer skills—one girl said she'd learned not to use her hands; a boy said he'd learned how to score a goal.
When a coach called one shy girl, she smiled before answering in a soft voice.
"Celebrate each other," she said.
1.What was special about the kids in the field
A.They couldn't speak English.
B.They had faced hardships.
C.They hadn't been to America before.
D.They were attending an international soccer match.
2.What encouraged Seren Fryatt to set up L. A. C. E. S.
A.A soccer program for kids. B.The long-term war in Liberia.
C.A women's soccer team in Liberia. D.Coaches' volunteer work.
3.What do we know about the soccer camp
A.It gives coaches great pay.
B.It was started for girls only.
C.It was organized in Liberia first.
D.It teaches life skills as well as soccer skills.
4.What did the shy girl get from the soccer camp
A.How to work with others. B.How to speak in public.
C.How to make friends. D.How to praise others.
三、七选五
Ask an adult, "What do teenagers do in their free time " A large number of adults' answers will probably include playing video games, watching movies and TV, and hanging out (闲逛) with friends. ① _____
Most of these answers are wrong. Fewer teenagers watch TV or go to the movies these days. They even hang out with friends less often than before. ②_____ They read all the time. As a matter of fact, they read more often than their parents. They aren't just reading books. Instead, many teenagers read e-mails and messages. They read articles on websites and post on social media. They get a lot of reading practice every day.
Parents worry that it's not the right kind of reading practice, though. ③_____ Actually, any kind of reading is good for teenagers, helping them develop skills that they will need in their later life. Their memories will become stronger, and their vocabularies will become wider.
Online, they can search for many different things to read. ④_____ However, books are still better. They are easier to focus on. Teenagers understand and remember more from them. Also, reading books helps teenagers to stay away from social media. Using social media too much causes stress and depression.

Braxton Moral walked across the stage at his high school in Ulysses, Kansas as a graduate. Soon after that, the 17-year-old set another milestone(里程碑): receiving his degree from Harvard University.
Moral's parents got him admitted to the world-famous university when he was just 11. "My parents noticed I was bored in school and needed something to encourage my growth, so they ended up finding Harvard University Extension School," he said.
"Most courses can be taken online, but Extension School students must also earn 16 credit hours (学分) in person in the school in Cambridge, Massachusetts," said Moral.
Studying for both high school and Harvard at the same time wasn't easy. But teachers in his high school took a lot of the work off, allowing Moral to spend a few hours each day working on Harvard's coursework.
Moral has always been drawn to law and politics, and he's now hoping to go to law school. "I am, of course, excited to end this stage of my life and hungry to begin the next," he said.
Moral's older sister, Brittney Jo Seger, told reporters that her brother had always been gifted (有天赋的). "When he was little, his vocabulary was amazing," she said. "Something my mom, sister and I noticed early on was his memory. That's one of the things that make him unbelievable. He can look at anything or read anything, and he will immediately remember it forever."
Morale book, Harvard in the Heartland, is also coming out, which is about his experience as "a gifted boy from a small farming town".
1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Moral spent 17 years studying for a Harvard degree.
B. Moral studied for his Harvard degree completely online.
C. Moral performed poorly and caused problems in school.
D. Moral studied for his Harvard degree while in high school.
2.What's Moral's high school teachers' attitude towards his Harvard coursework
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Worried.
3.Which of the following is an important reason for Moral's success
A. Enjoying drawing.
B. Having super memory.
C. Being hungry for degrees.
D. Writing about his experience.

四、答案：BDEFC
解析：①文中第一句提到"something you enjoy doing"意为“你喜欢做的事”,即爱好。第三句"...help you make friends..."可知,拥有一个爱好还能帮助你交朋友,即与人交往。由此可知,兴趣爱好可以让你和其他人联系起来。
②根据第二段第二句"...take up a lot of time."可知,有些爱好,如集邮和园艺都需要花费很长的时间,但"...can be done at your own pace and do not. require any extended time.",电子游戏、阅读等就可以按照自己的节奏完成,也不需要额外的时间。因此需选择一句跟时间有关的句子,且该空为该段第一句,应选择一句总起句,故选D。
③第三段提到要对你选择的爱好进行研究调查,包括需要的时间和金钱等。该段最后一句提到"Your local library, or phone book should also have information..."可知,读者也可以在图书馆等地找到相关的信息,also意为“也”,在前文中出现过的信息在后文中再次出现时使用,因此该空中可选择一句查询兴趣爱好的方式。
④文中第四段建议和那些与你有着相同兴趣爱好的人进行聊天交流,与别人交流得到的信息是最直观且及时的。与F项中的first-hand knowledge相符。且F项中提到的interview意为“采访、访问”,与该段第一句中的"Talk with other people"意思相近。
⑤根据文中第五段第二句"Challenge yourself, to try a new activity you are interested in for a week or so."可知,挑战自己,尝试一周左右一个你感兴趣的新活动。即对自己选择的爱好进行尝试,并查看尝试后的结果怎样,故选C。
