Ⅰ.阅读理解
Life has not been easy for veteran (退伍老兵) John Jolly, who once stayed in Kingwood Park Houston. He has been homeless for decades. Thanks to a group of caring high school seniors, he now has a real home to call his own.
Students at Summer Creek and Kingwood Park High schools worked together on a project called “Students Helping Veterans” over the past school year. The students and teachers partnered together to create muster-planned tiny homes in the Houston area for homeless veterans. Generous local community donations helped fund the project.
In cooperation with local architects, engineers, and other community partners, the schools design and build homes expected to be 200 to 300 square feet in size. In the end, they want to build a community where veterans can be surrounded by other veteran neighbors who understand their difficulties and issues.
Senior student Sarah Dalby said that when she started the project, she hardly knew how to use a saw (锯) but now she is a fast learner who loves the work. “We have to appreciate the veterans for protecting us and giving us the freedom and rights that we enjoy，” she added when explaining her own purpose to take part in the project.
“This is unbelievable，” remarked Barbara Lang, a friend of the veteran who was there to provide support. A tiny home is invaluable to those who have nothing. John was clearly excited with his new, clean and fully furnished home.
The students don't view this as a one-time effort. Their admirable plan in to grow the project, and have it spread to other schools and cities that can repeal this model.

4．responsibly 考查副词。修饰动词behaved应该用副词形式。故填responsibly。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain (朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200,000 times.
For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”
“Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support，” she wrote on Facebook.
Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一名叫Haley的老师为学生提供一件白裙子，让他们在裙子上作画，以激发学生的创造力的故事。
1．What did Haley use the plain white dress to do
A．To teach her students painting.
B．To prepare for her presentation.
C．To ask her students to draw on it.
D．To help her students with their homework.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，她买这件朴素的白裙子，是因为她在班上建立了一个站点，让班上的学生能够装饰这条裙子，也就是在洁白的裙子上画自己喜欢的图案等。故选C。
2．What do we know about the finished dress
A．It took Haley by surprise.
B．It is kept by Haley at home.
C．It is the product of a new idea.
D．It has enjoyed popularity online.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在学生们完成设计之后，老师的举动让同学们大吃一惊。她穿上它在教室展示，并且拍照上传到脸谱网上，并且被分享超过20万次。故可推测这条裙子在网络上很受欢迎。故选D。
3．What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example
A．Buy the same dress online.
B．Give the kids enough time.
C．Buy the same markers in Walmart.
D．Leave the finished work untouched.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，这位老师告诉其他想要效仿的老师因为只要时间允许就会在裙子各个地方作画，所以至少需要2周到一个月的时间才能完成。由此可知，要给学生充裕的时间，以便他们不要太匆忙。故选B。
4．Why did Haley carry out the project
A．To teach art to her students.
B．To show her idea on Pinterest.
C．To share it with other teachers.
D．To excite her students' creativity.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，她之所以这么做的原因是学校没有开设艺术课，她总是努力让学生尽可能做一些创造性的项目。由此可知，她的目的是激发学生的创造性。故选D。

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this？”
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (生硬回绝). “It's a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this？”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this？”
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born.On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary：
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window.My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt love for my innocent son.”

Paragraph 1：
After reading the diary, the son's eyes were filled with tears and he began to reflect on the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling irritation while his father asked him the same question just four times! The son thought to himself：If I get old, how will my son look at me Will he think of me as a burden Will he shout at me because of my poor sight, poor hearing or poor understanding
Paragraph 2：
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He made an apology to his father, begging his father to forgive him for his bad behaviour. He said this aloud, “I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless love on me. You worked hard to make money so that I could afford to go to university. I will serve you in the best day.”UNIT 1 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练

Lily and Lisa were best friends. They were always together. But things changed one day. That day Lisa was sent to sit beside another girl called Alice. They soon laughed happily together.
The next day, when Lily went to Lisa's house, she saw Lisa and Alice laughing and playing happily together. Lisa was playing so happily then that she didn't even notice Lily when she arrived. Lily felt very depressed and went home. She thought Lisa had changed and was afraid she'd leave her. She didn't want to lose her best friend. Thinking she might lose her one day, she couldn't help crying.
Just then, Lily's mother came back. Seeing she was crying, her mother asked her why. Lily told her everything. After hearing what she said, her mother couldn't help laughing. She said, “Don't be sad. You should be happy.” Lily was confused. She didn't understand why she should be happy. Her mother explained, “Now, Lisa has a new friend. And you're friends with Lisa. It means that you have a new friend, too. Just make friends with Alice, too.”
Hearing that, Lily stopped feeling sad. She liked the idea of having one more friend. So the next day, when Lily saw Lisa and Alice playing in the classroom, she happily went to them and joined them. The three quickly became good friends.
Never feel sad if your friend has a new friend. Instead, be happy. If your friend has a new friend, it means that you have a new friend, too.

Studies show if you have good friends throughout your life, you will live longer. There is a lot of truth behind the common saying. You must first be one if you want some good friends. ___1__
Be real. People are bored with those who are always trying to be someone they are not.

Be honest. Lies always have a way of coming to light. Try to be honest with everyone around you. Be reliable. Nobody wants to be friends with someone who lies. Also, friends will say the truth to each other, even when it's hard.
Be a good listener. __3__ Most times, people need more than good advice. They need someone to listen to them as they talk through their feelings. Ask them what's going on in their life and how they feel.
__4__ Time is one of the greatest gifts we have. When we share extra time with friends, we are giving that gift back to them. No friendship can develop overnight. It takes time. A real friend will take that time.

You may not know a lot of people when you start high school.Even if you know some freshmen, you still feel nervous that you don't know any upperclassmen or teachers.How are you going to make friends among this sea of unknown faces
Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts, which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers, but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen.That way, when you show up on your first day of school, you may already recognise a few familiar faces.When you talk to your new classmates, you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are.They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect.Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.
The work in high school is something that freshmen are probably worried about.The work in high school builds on what you learnt in middle school，giving you a more advanced knowledge of many subjects.So you may find you have more work to do or that it's a bit more challenging.If you ever find your work too difficult, teachers can give you extra help.
High school also has more extra-curricular activities than middle school does such as clubs, music and theatre groups and sports teams.This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.
High school gives you the chance to learn how to manage your time, to develop your social skills and interests, and more importantly to be more independent and responsible.

It was the early 1950s, and I was a member of the A class at Armidale High School in northern New South Wales.
In second and third year we all did General Maths, and our teacher was Mrs Lindsay — Clare Lindsay. Her arrival at our classroom was always quick, “Good morning, everyone！” Small but energetic, she would drop her thing on the teacher's table, and move immediately to the blackboard, continuing the material of the last lesson as though we had all just been away from the room for five minutes. Our books would be out, and we would watch her closely.
I've thought a lot about Clare Lindsay over the years. What was her special magic There're two reasons and I think they're necessary for all excellent teachers. She loved her subject, and she loved us, in a patient and objective way. She had no favorites that I can remember, and she called us all by our first names pleasantly. She had a way of teaching that I loved.
“Now we could go down this path, couldn't we We could argue this, and then this, but that doesn't work because of this. No Can Do (NCD)！” She would put a big cross, and write “NCD” against what she had put down. “Right! Why not go down this new path？” And she would show us that this new way worked. It was fun and her love for maths caught on. We all did well for her, the poor students as well as the skilled. I've never found maths difficult, and I_put_that_skill_own_to_her.
In fourth and fifth years, we divided into the science and arts streams, and Mrs Lindsay didn't teach us any more. But as the Leaving Certificate exams were coming, one of my friends became nervous about how much maths he didn't know. With great courage, he went to see Mrs Lindsay, and asked if she would help him prepare for his General Maths paper. “Of course！” she said, and did just that, after school, in her own time. He passed. What a good teacher!
