My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.
4.What seemed to be the TV directors' initial reaction to the garden
A.They were excited. B.They were surprised.
C.They were worried. D.They were uninterested.
5.What is special about the garden
A.Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.
B.The grass grew faster than common grass.
C.The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.
D.Underground water was used for the plants.

A.We got blisters on our hands. B.Our hard work was worthwhile.
C.The garden would be famous. D.The project would be finished.
7.How did the author feel about the project
A. Annoyed. B. Curious. C. Proud. D. Regretful.

Every experience that American business woman Leigh-Ann Buchanan remembers has come from travel. Her early trips to the countries in Asia, Africa and the Americas were no small things they assisted her to make connections with community organizations abroad, build leadership skills and find a greater purpose in her voluntary work. All of these experiences played an important part in her becoming a mentor(导师) to high school students.
She saw that many of her students from poor communities had never left the country. This not only shut them out from having life-changing experiences, but made them often miss out on college scholarships(奖学金) because their experiences couldn't compete with those from higher-income backgrounds.
Then she saw a program founded by her friend in Ghana. It offered US students the opportunity to experience cultural exchanges abroad. Buchanan wondered why the students she mentored in Miami couldn't have these life-changing experiences. So, she started the Nyah Project in 2014.
Since then, the project has provided money for 57 high-performing high school students throughout poor communities in Miami to have 10-day leadership trips. All 57 have gotten into colleges around the country, and over 90 percent have received full scholarships to college. Nyah fellows, the poor students helped by the Nyah Project, have traveled to countries including Indonesia, Namibia, Costa Rica and South Africa.
The trips bring cultural exchange opportunities, like learning about traditional Balinese dance in Indonesia and teaching younger students in Namibia. Kemoni Alexander, who is studying at Ohio Wesleyan University, was a Nyah fellow in 2017, and traveled to Namibia and South Africa for the first time out of the country.
"The neighborhood that I grew up in wasn't adequately resourced and my schools were short of money," Alexander said. "I could hardly believe that I was able to have that opportunity because other people saw that potential in me and believed in me."
8.What does the underlined word "assisted" in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Required. B. Helped. C. Trained. D. Reminded.
9.Why did Buchanan set up the Nyah Project
A. To offer students scholarships. B. To share her travel experiences.
C. To support her friend's program. D. To provide chances for poor students.
10.How do the students benefit from the Nyah Project
A. They are sure to be mentors in the future.
B. They can enjoy traveling worldwide for free.
C. They can do cultural exchanges on trips.
D. They can all receive full scholarships to college.
11.What can we infer from Alexander's words
A. She was thankful for the opportunity.
B. She was more confident about her ability.
C. She regretted having joined the project.
D. She felt embarrassed about her background.
D
This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts(花生), while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails(背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way ”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.
12.The task I received was to find information about ________.
A.uses for peanuts B.American War of Independence
C.George Washington D.my headmaster Miss Lancelot
13.People in the class acted strangely because ________.
A.I was too proud of my homework B.I mistook what the homework was about
C.the whole world suddenly became quiet D.the teacher's face turned to a stone
14.We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.
A.the headmaster didn't like the writer at all
B.the writer's classmates felt sad at his mistake
C.the writer knew little about American history
D.the writer's grandpa was a very wise man
15.Which of the following proverbs can best describe the main idea of this story
A.Seeing is believing. B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.One is never too old to learn. D.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Why we forget
Remembering things is an important function of our brain-if we can't recall how to do something, we can't survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember—from where we leave our car keys to how we walk. ①_____
Memory allows the brain to store and recall information when it is required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things
It may be because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant at the time. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. ②_____ It is also possible that memories decline over time. If you don't perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it. This could be because our memory is full, or our short-term memory is easier to access.
③_____Have you ever gone into a room to fetch something only to forget what you wanted when you got there This is called "The Doorway Effect". This occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about many different things.
So, if you have a mind like a sieve(筛子), it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it.④_____ That's when we're at more risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.
However, forgetting is not always a bad thing!would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. ⑤_____
A. That's something worth remembering!
B. Maybe it's no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful.
C. But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down.
D. If you don't have these connections, then it can be easier to forget.
E. However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved.
F. We also need some mental relaxation such as listening to some classical music.
G. Beyond our 50s, our brains tend to shrink in volume and our memory begins to decline.

Two things changed my life: my mother and a bike basket. It's true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today—a lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don't know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what other kids owned, we'd hear something like, "I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday. You are not getting a TV in your room or a car for your birthday or an expensive birthday party. "We had to earn our allowance(零用钱)by doing chores(家庭杂务)around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.
It was one summer day. My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window—white, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers. The basket winked at me and I knew—I had to have it.
"It's beautiful, " my mother said when I pointed it out to her. "What a neat basket."
I tried to hold off at first, but then I couldn't stand it any longer. "Mom, please can I get it I'll do anything, please, Mom, please "I was desperate.
"You know, " she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, "if you save up, you could buy this yourself. "
"By the time I have earned enough, it'll have gone! Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please "
"There might be another way, "she said.
注意:
1.续写词数为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
"I'll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores," Mom explained.

Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others' bikes!

答案以及解析

第一节
A
1.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由题干中的Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 可定位至How do I apply 部分中的第一、二句。由此可推知答案为C。
2.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由题干中的personal statement可定位至What should I write for the personal statement 部分。根据该部分中的“falls into the category of science fiction and fantasy”可知,答案为D。
3.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据Submission部分中的“Submissions...open on September 1”可知,提交作品的开始时间是9月1日。
B
4.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的"The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours."可以看出,一开始时,电视台的制片人认为有很多和作者他们相似的故事,所以对他们的花园并不感兴趣。
5.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的"We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them."可知,这个花园的种子来自大草原的植物。根据"We did not water the garden, but we did weed it."可知,我们给花园除草,而不是允许杂草自然蔓延,故A项错误;根据本段最后一句可知,草长得很高,但并未提及草长得很快,故B项错误;根据本段中We decided to let nature water it with rain可知,作者和同学们打算让雨水浇灌他们的花园,而非使用地下水,故D项错误。
6.答案:B
解析:代词指代题。由句式结构可知,画线词that作knew的宾语,指代前文所提的事物。又根据后文but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too可知,其中的so所指代的内容应与that一致。结合语境可以看出,that和so均指代前文的"All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it.",即"他们的辛苦是值得的"。
7.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。由文章第一段中的"It was a lot of work but it was all worth it."以及最后一段中的"All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it."均可以看出作者在辛勤付出之后对于劳动成果的自豪感。
C
8.答案:B

11.答案:A
解析:考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"I could hardly believe that I was able to have that opportunity because other people saw that potential in me and believed in me"可知,Alexander对获得这样的机会感到难以置信,所以她很感激。故选A。
D
12.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第一段中的"It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington."可知,这项任务是上网查找关于一个名为George Washington的人的信息。故C项符合语境。
13.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, "My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence."可知,老师布置的作业是关于发动美国独立战争的华盛顿,而不是发明花生多种用途的华盛顿。所以全班学生表现奇怪的原因是他把作业中的人物搞错了。故B项符合题意。
14.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,其他同学都知道老师要求查找的George Washington是谁,而作者却不知道,由此可推断出作者对美国历史了解得很少。故选C。
15.答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者对美国历史了解得很少,结果闹出笑话。但这件事情促使他埋头苦学,并获得跳级的资格。Seeing is believing.(眼见为实); Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成); One is never too old to learn.(活到老学到老); A friend in need is a friend indeed.(患难见真情)。故B项符合题意。
第二节
答案:①-⑤ BDCGA
①根据上句可知,我们需要记住的事情太多,再结合第三段第一句及常识可以推知,有时遗忘某事并不奇怪。故B项符合语境。
②根据上句可知,当我们存储信息时,我们经常会与其他事物建立联系,这有助于我们在以后回忆起它。所以D项“如果你没有这些联系,你就可能更容易遗忘”符合语境。
③上一段最后一句提到了short-term memory,下文介绍了短暂性记忆,即“门口效应”的例子:走进房间去取东西,结果到了房间却忘了自己想找什么。据此可知,C项内容能承上启下,故C项正确。
④根据下句“That's when we're at more risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.” 可知,这个时候我们患阿尔茨海默病的风险更大。据此可以推知,空处说明记忆力随着年龄增大减退的现象和原因,故G项正确。
⑤遗忘并非总是坏事,记住所有细节则会浪费认知资源,据此可知,这点值得记住。故A项正确。

第二节
答案:①started②achieving③What④has become⑤with⑥rights⑦developed⑧their⑨global⑩an
解析:①考查动词的时态。此处指“中国政府几年前启动了‘中国制造2025’项目”。根据句中的时间标志词several years ago 可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填started。
②考查非谓语动词。句意:实现新的产业革命的关键是智能化。短语the key to中的 to为介词,括号内提示词为动词,故设空处应填动名词achieving。
③考查名词性从句。句意:中国应该做的是提高其水平,由“中国制造”转变为“中国创造”再到“中国智造”。设空处应为引导主语从句的连词,同时该词又做从句中do 的宾语,故填What。
④考查动词的时态。此处指“中国一直因作为世界工厂而闻名”。分析句子结构可知,设空处在句中做谓语;再根据句中时间状语up to now可知,谓语的时态应用现在完成时,故填has become。
⑤考查介词。此处表示“‘中国制造’总是与低技术含量的廉价工业品联系在一起”。be associated with是固定搭配,意为“和……有关系”,故填with。
⑥考查名词单复数。句意:实际上,中国鲜有具有核心技术或独立知识产权的产业。提示词right意为“权利”,为可数名词,此处表泛指,且其前无冠词,故此处应用复数名词rights。
⑦考查词性转换。句意:国内很多行业对于国外技术的依赖性超过了50%,然而,在诸如美国和日本等发达国家,这个比例仅为5%。括号内提示词为动词,此空做定语修饰后面的名词countries,应用形容词developed,意为“发达的”,故填developed。
⑧考查代词。此处表示“因为它们没有自己独立的品牌、独立的设计或独立的核心技术”。根据语境可知,此处应用形容词性物主代词做定语,修饰后面的名词brands, designs和technology,故填their。
⑨考查词性转换。句意:中国如果想提升其在全球产业链中的地位,必须从世界的加工厂转变为世界的一个革新基地。此空做定语,修饰后面的名词chain,因此应用形容词形式,故填global。
⑩考查冠词。句意见上题解析。设空处后的base意为“基地”,为可数名词,此处泛指“一个基地”,应用不定冠词修饰,且innovation 的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。
第三节
答案:
Things We Should Do in High School
It goes without saying that high school life is one of the most important periods in our life. It is so wonderful that many people consider it golden time.
In my view, high school life, first of all, is a time to gain knowledge and wisdom. To achieve this goal, we must settle down to working hard on all our lessons. Secondly, high school life is a time to learn how to live. That is to say, we should develop as many good habits as possible and improve our ability to live independently. Thirdly, high school life is also a time to make friends, have fun, and learn how to get along with others.
As far as I'm concerned, I'll cherish and enjoy my high school life forever!
答案:
Paragraph 1:
"I'll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores, "Mom explained. I agreed immediately and Mom bought the flowery basket and kept it somewhere I couldn't find. Each day, I finished my new routine of double household chores with passion and enthusiasm. Each night, I crossed off another day on the calendar as I counted down to the day. As the days passed, the basket seemed to become even more beautiful in my imagination. The extra chores didn't bother me. The basket was worth it.

Paragraph 2:
Finally, I got my dream basket, but soon I sadly found the same basket on others' bikes!So shocked and upset was I that I immediately went home to report this disaster to my mom. Seeing my sulky face, she gently wiped away my tears. Holding my little face in her warm hands, she spoke out what has become the lesson I still carry with me today. "Your basket is not the same basket. It's unique because it was not obtained by mere money but by all your worthwhile effort and waiting."
