In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
4. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy
A. Inspiring and practical. B. Troublesome yet delightful.
C. Complicated yet engaging. D. Thrilling and rewarding.
5. What prevented the author from taking photos according to paragraph 2
A. He was struck by sudden sorrow.
B. He was faced with increasing pressure.
C. He intended to focus on his work
D. He attempted to behave like an adult.
6. What did the author get from picking up his hobby
A. More enjoyment in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild.
C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories
B. Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens
C. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography
D. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera

In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. Toprotect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design ourenvironments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
8. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A. It offers little information. B. It features depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
9. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information
B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C To show the importance of environments.
D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
10. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users
D
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
12. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior
A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers.
C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games.
13. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates.
C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules.
14. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4
A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts.
C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children
C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid

Tom was born and grew up in Milan. Until he was 13 years old, he never wanted to leave his hometown. But last year, Tom’s father’s investment went bad， wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Tom was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.
Tom had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.
On an early summer evening, when Tom was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Tom turned around and saw Andy, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.
“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate ” Andy asked.
Tom took a look at Andy with doubt and answered, “You sure Me No, I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”
Andy smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳)，in backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Tom was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
“I don’t think I can win anything.” Tom was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Andy responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while, Tom agreed to have a try.

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

C. He intended to focus on his work

C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography.
7. What is the best title for the text

【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. (那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我很高兴，它冻结了那些珍贵的时刻，温柔地鼓励了我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，对于作者小时候拍照这件事，作者觉得这是令人兴奋且值得的。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. (这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。)”可知，作者面临的压力越来越大，这使得作者停止了拍照。故选B。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照，偶然间作者看到了角落里的照相机，作者重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。所以C项“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography(通过摄影重新获得乐趣)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。
C
In the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of informed citizens. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. Toprotect ourselves from this, Kozyreva advocates for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers intentionally control their information environment to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies. The first is to design ourenvironments, which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.
The next is to evaluate the reliability of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false and misleading information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls.” Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our attention, time, and minds.
8. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2
A. It offers little information. B. It features depressing stories.
C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It seeks profits from each click.
9. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3
A. To discuss the quality of information
B. To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C. To show the importance of environments.
D. To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
10. What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text
A. Reveal their intention. B. Turn a deaf ear to them.
C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
B. Practising the skill of critical ignoring in the digital age.
C. Maximizing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet.
D. Strategies of abandoning critical thinking for Internet users
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文体。文章主要讨论了在数字时代，由于信息过载和注意力经济，批判性思维不再是唯一重要的技能，而更为关键的是“批判性忽视”的技能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose us to profit-generating advertisements. Therefore,we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.(正如研究人员指出的那样，我们生活在一个注意力经济中，互联网上的内容生产者在争夺我们的注意力。他们用大量的情感和引人注目的故事来吸引我们，而提供的有用信息却很少，所以他们可以让我们接触到盈利的广告。因此，我们不再是客户而是产品，我们点击的每一个链接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力)”可知，注意力经济可以让我们接触到盈利性广告，并从每次点击中寻求利润。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Likewise, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if one tries to bank onwillpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to just keep them out of sightto begin with.(同样，我们需要建立一个数字环境，让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线。就像节食一样，如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的“新闻”，他肯定会失败。所以，最好一开始就把它们放在视线之外)”可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境，以此来表明环境的重要性。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are actors who internationally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, it’s best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention.(喷子是指故意在网上传播虚假和有害信息以造成伤害的行为者。回复他们澄清事实可能很有吸引力，但喷子只关心惹恼别人，而不是事实。所以，最好不要用我们的关注来奖励他们的坏行为)”可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, and her colleagues, an even more important skill is critical ignoring.(但根据马克斯·普朗克人类发展研究所的心理学家阿纳斯塔西娅·科兹列娃和她的同事们的说法，在数字时代，一项更重要的技能是“批判性忽视”)”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring comprises three strategies.(Kozyreva认为，“批判性忽视”包括三种策略)”以及后文对这三种策略的具体介绍可推知，所以本文主要讨论了在数字时代，需要练习“批判性忽视”技巧。故选B项。
D
For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
12. What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior
A. They are interested in acting. B. They are shy with the strangers.
C. They are fond of their playmates. D. They are tired of playing games.
13. What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A. Design games for them. B. Find them suitable playmates.
C. Play together with them. D. Help them understand social rules.
14. What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4
A. Giving examples. B. Explaining concepts.
C. Providing evidence. D. Making comparisons.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. How Children Adapt to Changes B. How to Be a Role Model for Children
C. How Your Baby Learns to Love D. How to Communicate with Your Kid
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.(此外，蹒跚学步的孩子表现出他们喜欢其他孩子的方式与成年人认为的友谊表达方式明显不同。哥伦布俄亥俄州立大学的研究发现，一个蹒跚学步的孩子在玩耍时说“我喜欢你”的方式很可能是模仿朋友的行为)”可知，蹒跚学步的孩子模仿朋友的行为说明他们喜欢玩伴，故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them(通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社交规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因，当您制定这些指导方针时，请解释其背后的原因)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子的社交生活中设定限制，并且经常提醒孩子们这些限制，也就是社交规则，帮助孩子理解社交规则，故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”)(首先帮助孩子学会同情（(本在哭。是什么让他这么伤心 ”）)”以及“then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”)(然后建议他如何解决这个问题(“如果你让他打球，也许他会感觉好些。”))”可知，这些引用是通过举例说明这两个建议：帮助孩子学会同情并解决问题，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation(对很多孩子来说，蹒跚学步是建立友谊的重要时刻。研究表明，孩子们越早学会建立积极的关系，他们在青少年和成年人时期就越善于与他人建立联系。一起玩耍也有助于这些孩子练习社交行为，如友善、分享和合作)”、第三段“Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are(通过游戏体验，幼儿学习社会规则。这就是在你蹒跚学步的孩子的社交活动中，通过设定限制和经常提醒它们是什么，来发挥积极作用是如此重要的原因)”以及最后一段“Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel.( 另一种鼓励健康社交的方法是鼓励孩子用语言而不是拳头来表达他们的感受。)”可知，本文主要讲的是家长如何帮助孩子学会爱，学会发展友谊，故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了垂直园艺在印度的应用并起到的积极作用。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：垂直园艺并不新鲜，但印度的一个例子显示了这种创造性的技术是如何真实地改变生活的。根据空后的动词“change”可知，空处应为副词修饰动词。故填truly。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：去年6月，来自阿姆利则的Mehra一家展示了他们在家里建造的垂直花园，成为当地的热点新闻。分析句子成分可知，空前动词为“showed off”，空后动词为“had created”，所以空处应为连接词，且指代先行词“vertical garden”在从句中充当宾语，故应为定语从句的连接词。因先行词为物，所以填which/that。故填that/which。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这个家庭用了超过17.5万个塑料瓶来建造花园，他们把塑料瓶固定在他们家的外墙上，并在里面种各种植物。根据前文“when they showed off the vertical garden”可知，再次出现，表示特指。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个家庭用了超过17.5万个塑料瓶来建造花园，他们把塑料瓶固定在他们家的外墙上，并在里面种各种植物。variety为可数名词，故应变复数。且varieties of为固定搭配“各种各样的”。故填varieties。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这些植物是通过一个简单的滴灌系统灌溉的，令人惊讶的是，到目前为止，这已经把他们家的温度降低了近5摄氏度。空前为介词by，所以空处应为doing。故填using。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：这些植物是通过一个简单的滴灌系统灌溉的，令人惊讶的是，到目前为止，这已经把他们家的温度降低了近5摄氏度。分析句子成分可知，空前“and”为连接两句话的连词，所以空处应为分句的动词，再结合句末的时间状语“so far”可知，应用现在完成时has/have done，主语为“this”，所以用单数。故填has lowered。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意：现在，许多当地学校的墙上都有绿色的垂直花园，旁遮普省农业大学也是如此，甚至卢迪亚纳火车站也是如此——印度第一个采用这一举措的车站。分析句子成分可知，空前为完整句子，空后为倒装句。所以空处应为连词表示并列。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在，许多当地学校的墙上都有绿色的垂直花园，旁遮普省农业大学也是如此，甚至卢迪亚纳火车站也是如此——印度第一个采用这一举措的车站。分析句子成分可知，空前的名词有序数词“the first”修饰，所以空处应为不定式作后置定语修饰名词。故填to adopt。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：铁路方面指出，这些植物不仅给车站降温，还有助于吸收噪音，似乎对旅客有镇静和防止乱扔垃圾的作用。分析句子成分可知，应为固定搭配have an effect on/upon sth. “对……有影响”。故填on/upon。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：此外，每一个以这种方式创建的垂直花园都在回收会成为污染物的塑料，积极减少当地污染。根据空前的形容词，可知空处应为名词作宾语。故填pollution。

But last year, Tom’s father’s investment went bad， wiping out the family and sending his parents to prison. As a teenager under 16 years old, Tom was forced to go to Newcastle in the northeast of England to stay with his uncle Lawrence.
Tom had a lot of difficulties in the new environment. He didn’t like the food in England. Nobody could forecast the weather in Newcastle. He had to start learning the second foreign language in his new school. Pocket money was not enough as usual. Almost every subject was a challenge for him. Most importantly, he had no friends. It seemed nobody knew him and he knew nobody in the school.
On an early summer evening, when Tom was going home alone from school as usual, a man called him from behind. Tom turned around and saw Andy, his PE teacher, standing in front of him.
“You know, the school will have a swimming competition next month. There will be all kinds of races. Will you participate ” Andy asked.
Tom took a look at Andy with doubt and answered, “You sure Me No, I won’t. I can swim, but I’m slower than a snail.”
Andy smiled and then said, “Yes. Indeed. You are, in breaststroke(蛙泳)，in backstroke, and in butterfly, but not in freestyle. So join the freestyle race! 200-meter freestyle is the game suitable for you.”
Tom was speechless at that moment. He had never known someone in the school was observing him and caring for him.
“I don’t think I can win anything.” Tom was still a little puzzled.
“But you may get more recognition and consequently you can make some friends. That is more important than prizes,” Andy responded immediately.
Having hesitated for a while, Tom agreed to have a try.

【答案】Paragraph 1
Every afternoon for the next month, Tom trained really hard. He darted to the school swimming pool immediately the school bell rang and kept practicing. Usually, it was not until the sun set that he stopped training, when he was worn out completely. Tough as it was, Tom never had the idea of giving up. Day by day, the swimming pool witnessed his endeavor, as well as his rapid progress. As the training went on, he gradually became skillful and confident. A few weeks later, the competition eventually arrived. Standing by the swimming pool, Tom was calmer than ever, for he firmly believed he was able to win the game.
Paragraph 2
Tom dived into the pool confidently like other competitors. He set off swiftly, weaving in the water like a flexible fish, and it was not long before other competitors were left far behind Shortly afterwards, the audiences burst into applause when Tom first reached the edge of the swimming pool, which marked his winning the competition. Thrilled and delighted, Tom screamed out loudly, “I won the game! I made it!” It was the first time that he’d felt so excited since he arrived in England. From then on, his classmates began to make friends with him, and bright smile came back to his face again. This lesson has taken root deeply in his heart: Dare to try, and you will make it eventually.
