When she was just 9 years old, Hilde Lysiak became famous across the United States for reporting on different news stories.
Hilde Lysiak’s father was a reporter for New York Daily News. When she was young, he often took her to work with him, so she developed a strong interest in news reporting.
At age 8, Hilde Lysiak started her own newspaper, called Orange Street News (OSN). Her family lived on Orange Street at the time. Hilde Lysiak wanted to cover stories important to everyone in her town. Following the rules her father had taught her, she researched and reported stories in her monthly newspaper. She also set up her own website and reported on YouTube.
OSN suddenly became famous when a murder happened in town, and 9-year-old Hilde was the first person to report it. Soon, news organizations around the country were writing and reporting stories about Hilde. However, not everyone was happy about Hilde’s efforts. Some people criticized (批评) her parents for allowing her to report on something as unpleasant as a murder. Others criticized Hilde for “pretending to be a reporter”. Hilde was upset about the complaints (埋怨). She responded with a YouTube video, “I never began my newspaper so that people would think I was cute,” she said. “I want to be taken seriously. I am sure other kids do, too.”
That wasn’t the first time Hilde had found it hard for people to take her seriously, which was mainly because of her age. But she never let that stop her. Hilde continued reporting.
In 2019, Hilde wrote a book for young people, called Hilde Cracks the Case, which is based on stories that Hilde wrote. The book was then turned into a TV show called Home Before Dark. For now, Hilde says she has given up reporting. But her efforts have already inspired people around the world.
34. How did Hilde develop her passion for news reporting
A. By going to work with her father.
B. By reading so many news reports herself.
C. By watching how other reporters perform their jobs.
D. By teaching herself the skills and knowledge about news reporting.
35. What is the correct time order of the following events
a. The murder was first reported. b. The book Hilde Cracks the Case came out.
c. The TV show Home Before Dark was shot. d The newspaper Orange Street News was started.
A. d-a-b-c B. b-c-a-d C. d-c-b-a D. a-d-c-b

The English language started about 1,500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to England. After some time, the three languages became one new language — English. The name “English” comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. “England” means “Angle Land” or “Country of the Angles”.
The language that we speak today — Modern English — is not the same as the English that people used many years ago, including Old English (before 1150) and Middle English (up till 1500). That language — Old English — sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand words in Old English. But Modern English does come from Old English, and it is still like it in many important ways.
38. When did Modern English start
A. About the year 1150. B. Before the year 1500.
C. Between the 12th century and the 16th century. D. About the year 1500.
39. How many languages did Old English come from
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
40. Which language did the name “English” come from
A. Modern English. B. The Angles. C. The Jutes. D. The Saxons.
41. According to the passage, Modern English differs from Old English in _______.
A. grammar B. pronunciation C. words D. all of the above
D
Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play, catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.
One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, extra learning trials (尝试) increase the length of time we will remember it.
In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.
The multiplication tables (乘法口诀表) are an exception (例外) to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.
The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one’s future development.
42. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1
A. People remember well what they learned in childhood.
B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.
C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.
D. Stories for children are easy to remember.
43. The author explains the law of overlearning by ________.
A. presenting research findings B. setting down general rules
C. making a comparison D. using examples
44. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. Commonly accepted rules. B. The multiplication tables.
C. Things easily forgotten. D. School subjects.
45. What is the author’s opinion on cramming
A. It’s helpful only in a limited way. B. It leads to failure in college exams.
C. It’s possible to result in poor memory. D. It increases students’ learning interest.

Maybe there is a Father Christmas!
Anna stood anxiously staring at the pouring rain while little Molly looked up at a pretty doll in the window of the toy shop on the edge of town. "Mummy, "Molly said, "that's the doll I would like Father Christmas to bring me." A tear rolled down Anna's cheek and she knew it would be impossible this year. They were supposed to start a new life in Spain one and a half years ago before her husband Tim was cruelly taken from them by a car. Their small amount of savings were quickly spent on Tim’s funeral costs and necessities, leaving her in heavy debt.
To her relief, the local people had helped to support her through these difficult times and especially Juan, owner of the local grocery store, a single man, who would often put something special into her shopping bag, even though he himself had been going through a difficult period — his mother died of cancer and he was busy handling the sale of his mother’s house on the edge of town.
As the rain stopped, Anna and Molly started walking home. She was thinking about buying an umbrella after paying the rent with her upcoming wage when Molly shouted excitedly, "Mummy, what’s that on the road " Anna looked down and saw a bag lying in the water, which was obviously lost because of the sudden rain.
They got home and dried themselves before Anna focused on the bag. Opening it and seeing bundles of money inside, she stood back in shock and cried, "Is this a present from kindness I can pay off my debt, buy Molly’s favorite doll and my new umbrella ...” Then reality set in, Anna was a very moral person and would never steal even the slightest little thing, let alone bundles of money. She went to bed with all thoughts in her mind.
Paragraph 1：
Early next morning, Anna headed where she decided to go.
Paragraph 2：
At supper, Anna had an unexpected visitor—Juan with gift boxes in his hands.

What can we do to deal with our stress
We all have some stress in our life. How should we handle the problem of stress
Firstly, we should take more exercise. Doing exercise can help improve our mood. Doing sports can contribute to our having a healthier body and studying better. Secondly, we need to talk with our teachers, parents and friends, and try to tell them our trouble. They may give us some valuable advice. Thirdly, we may as well listen to music, watch movies and read books. They’re good ways to relax ourselves. Fourthly, we should try our best to work hard and learn to face difficulties and failures bravely, for failure is the mother of success. Last but not least, if we have too much stress for us to control, we’d better see a doctor.
续写
Anna walked directly to the police station. After figuring out what had happened, the policemen kept note of her information and thought highly of her. She felt a little shy and said, “The huge money would be a great help for me to get through the difficulties, but the owner would get into great trouble, instead.” Stepping out of the station, Anna felt a fresh breeze on her face, making her relieved and comfortable.
Seeing Anna's surprised look, Juan told her that he was the owner of the bag and he came to show his thanks. That morning, because of the sudden rain, he was so hurried to get on the taxi that he lost his bag. "Thank you so much for your help." Juan said to Anna and then turned to Molly, handing her the boxes "Here you are, little girl." After opening the boxes, Molly cried with great joy, "Mom, look! Here it is! The doll Father Christmas brings me!" Looking at her happy daughter, Anna smiled, murmuring "Maybe there is a Father Christmas!"
