effort. If you are struggling(挣扎)with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!
Don’t be disheartened if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go
forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.
Experience another culture
Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring
our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.

the time to learn about them.
Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a
delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together.

Sidney Keys,14-year-old, has started a youth-led book club program, with the support and help of his mom, to
help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature.
Keys’ idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles. “I used to have a really bad
stutter and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it,” Sidney Keys, the founder of the book club
Books N Bros said. “Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine
things and play out all the events clearly.” He said, “I wanted to start up Books N Bros so that I could talk to other
people, especially boys, about books I love in a relaxing way because it’s like a brotherhood.”
The reading club that he started at just 10 years old now has over 250“bros”aged 7 to 13 from the U.S. and
Canada, most of whom are changing actively and positively. Marvel’s Hero Project, which reveals the remarkable,
positive change young men make in their communities across the country and turns them into superheroes, selected
Keys to be featured in the Disney series.
“I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me, but now I see a comic book with me in
it,” Keys said delightedly. “It’s really awesome, especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my
superhero name at school.”
As for the future of Books N Bros, Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the
country. “Getting Books N Bros in schools across America, we don’t want transportation to be an issue for getting
that physical brotherhood and bond. It just benefits so many people, and it keeps me going,” Keys explained.
24. What caused Sidney Keys to build Books N Bros
A. His mother’s support. B. His poor school performance.
C. His own sufferings. D. His literature experience.
25. Why was Keys chosen by Marvel’s Hero Project
A. Because he was called a superhero by people. B. Because he made a difference to other people.
C. Because he was brave to face his shortcomings. D. Because he looked like a role in the Disney series.
26. How did Keys feel when seeing himself in a comic book
A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Touched. D. Proud.
27. Which can be the best title for the text
A. Sidney Keys: a Real-life Superhero B. Books N Bros: Home to Young Boys
第4页/共10页
C. Sidney Keys: a Loyal Book Lover D .Books N Bros: a Hit Across America C
A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to
take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of
others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at
the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient
carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a
problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones
had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the
desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their
patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out “photo free” hours during the
exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing
out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal
Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit
and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But
the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and
visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of
people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be
more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming
irrelevant.”
28. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd. C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
29. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma
A. By setting periods without photo-taking. B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By compromising with the government. D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
30. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may ________.
A. uncover the truth B. cause irrelevancy C. bring more pleasure D. play a negative role
第5页/共10页
31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support
A. Reducing admission prices .B. Catering to visitors.
C. Reserving judgement in public. D. Banning social media and photography.
D
Over the past few months, people in the United States have been watching some unusual television
advertisements. They are weird because they advertise a product that no American uses now or is likely to use in
the future.
The advertisements show that a product called golden rice will help prevent blindness in millions of children.
None of these children live in the United States. They live in countries where white rice forms the main part of the
diet. Too much white rice without other food causes lack of vitamin A. This can lead to blindness.
Golden rice h,as been developed to solve this problem through genetic (基因) engineering. As well as TV advertisements most news media carried stories on this great scientific development that would help some of the poorest children in world.
It could also save the science of genetic engineering. People in Europe and America have learned more about
genetically modified (转基因的) food over past few years. And the more they learn, the less they like what they
hear. People like science. And people like to eat food. But they would like the two things kept separate.
The truth is that a child would have to eat 9 kilograms of golden rice every day to get enough vitamin A. And
Gordon Conway of the Rockefeller Foundation, which helped the development of golden rice, says that the
advertisements have gone too far.
Perhaps the main purpose of golden rice is to get people to accept genetically modified food. The TV
advertisements sent a very clear message — if you don’t accept this technology then poor children will go blind. It
cost US $50 million get that message across. That would buy a lot of food for poor children.
What do the people who are said to benefit from golden rice think of being part of this great scientific and
social argument Nobody knows. Nobody has asked them.
32. What does the underlined word “weird” mean in the sentence
A. Thrilling. B. Amusing. C. Unusual. D. Rare.
33. What is the main reason why golden rice is advertised in the USA
A. Golden rice will prevent blindness in children. B. People have not accepted genetically modified food.
C. People know little about genetically modified food .D. Golden rice is the first genetically modified food.
第6页/共10页
34. According to the text, what kind of food do people in Europe and America like best
A. Food that is rich in vitamin A .B. Food produced without help from science.
C. F.ood produced in the third countries. D. Food produced through genetic engineering. 35 What is the author’s opinion of the TV advertisements A. They are not that useful. B. They need improvement.
C. They are unbelievably practical. D. They are put in a wrong place.

推理判断题。根据第四段中的“People like science. And people like to eat food. But they would like the two things kept separate.(人们喜欢科学。人们喜欢吃东西。但他们希望这两件事分开)”可知，在美国和欧洲，人们希望科学和吃的东西是分开的。由此推知，欧美人最喜欢的食物是没有科学帮助而产出的食物。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The truth is that a child would have to eat 9 kilograms of golden rice every day to get enough vitamin A. And Gordon Conway of the Rockefeller Foundation, which helped the development of golden rice, says that the advertisements have gone too far.(事实是，一个孩子每天必须吃9公斤黄金大米才能获得足够的维生素A。帮助开发黄金大米的洛克菲勒基金会的戈登·康威表示，广告做得太过分了)”和第六段中的“Perhaps the main purpose of golden rice is to get people to accept genetically modified food.(或许黄金大米的主要目的是让人们接受转基因食品)”可知，作者引用了Gordon Conway的话说明这个广告所宣传的内容在现实生活中是很难做到的，也许广告的真正目的不是用黄金大米救助儿童，而是让人们接受转基因食品。由此推知，作者认为电视广告没有说实话，它们并没有那么实用。故选A。

【40题详解】
根据后文“This may be challenging, considering your present relationship with your parents, but do your best. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a discussion about trying to understand them better. You can also talk to them about something at school that is bothering you, or something you are excited about or scared of.(考虑到你和父母目前的关系，这可能是一个挑战，但尽你所能。这并不一定是一场试图更好地理解他们的讨论。你也可以和他们谈谈学校里让你烦恼的事情，或者你感到兴奋或害怕的事情)”可知，后文提到和父母谈论学校里的烦心事以及感到兴奋或害怕的事情，即分享感受。故A选项“与他们分享你的感受”符合语境，故选A。

Dear Jack,
Knowing you’re keen on the photos I posted on the WeChat Moments last week, I’m writing to share some relevant details.
This year, the three-day sports meeting started last Friday on school playground, which is a great platform for us to relax ourselves and feel the spirit of movement. Among almost 20 events, what I participated in was the 100-meter dash, which required me to speed up to the extreme in a short time. Unfortunately, I ultimately failed to perform well in the race, making me determined to grasp the opportunity next time through continuing efforts.
That’s all my experience of this event. Would you please share your school life with me Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Driving home, everyone was talking about their gifts in high spirits except the youngest daughter, Ginger. Feeling puzzled, Melissa asked what she had bought for Christmas. “Nothing.” Ginger whispered, lowering her head. Other kids stopped talking and turned to Ginger. “Are you kidding Did you lose your money ” They stared at the little girl, their faces lighting up with surprise. Ginger shook her head and said that she gave the bill to a man who was begging outside the supermarket. The man in rags was standing in cold weather. There was no doubt that he was homeless and had a hard time.
“We have so much, but the homeless man doesn't have anything,” Ginger explained. “I am willing to share my happiness with him. I hope he can buy warm clothes or treat himself to a good dinner.” She added, with eyes shining with excitement. Hearing her daughters' words, Melissa felt a sense of pride swept through her. “What you did is right, Ginger. You are such a kind child that we are proud of you,” she said. Arriving home, they had a small party and the other kids offered to share their gifts with Ginger. It was the special experience that made the kids realize sharing is important.
