One day, 12-year-old Sean Redden surfed the Internet and went to a popular chat room. Just as he was about to be offline, he saw a name he’d never seen there before, Susan. Her brief message was “Would someone help me ”
Sean typed back, “What’s wrong ” A moment later he received this message, “I can’t breathe. Help me! I can’t get out of my chair.”
Oh, man, Sean thought. Pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really is sick “Hey. Mom.” he called. “There’s a kid here who’s sick or something.” Sharon looked at the computer screen. “It’s not just some game, is it ” she asked.
The message was not a joke. Susan was actually a 20-year-old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland - almost 7,000 miles away from Sean’s home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn’t move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet.
“I don’t think it’s a joke, Mom, “Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you ” After a long while, the letters appeared, “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn’t believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police.
Sharon explained the situation to the officer Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl’s phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency (机构) in Finland. The call was put through to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan’s address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.”
In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, “They are here. Thanks. Bye-bye.”
Four days later, the police in Texas received a message from officers in Finland: “Thanks to her Internet friend. Susan has received medical treatment she badly needed. She is doing well.”
4. What happened when Sean was about to get offline

D. He noticed an unfamiliar name.
5. What happened to Susan

My name is Jimmy. One Thursday afternoon, when I was in senior one, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn’t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn’t the type I would like to become friends with.
During that year, I didn’t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.
But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.
“Haven’t you got any friends ” a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.
“No, he hasn’t got any friends. He’s too stupid and shy,” I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.
That night, I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t get Christian’s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.
The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”
We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.
When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was.
Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.
8. What do we about know Christian from the passage
A. He was tall and fat. B. He was short and thin.
C. He was short and active. D. He was lovely and fat.
9. Why didn’t Jimmy talk to Christian much at first
A. He didn’t think Christian was the type he wanted to become friends with.
B. Christian wasn’t nice to people around him after he came to the new class.
C. Christian made friends with others.
D. Christian had the saddest dog eyes.
10. How did Jimmy feel after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids
A. Happy. B. Interested. C. Sorry. D. Bored.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To tell us it is important to make an apology when we hurt others.
B. To show Jimmy’s apology was unimportant to Christian.
C. To introduce Christian wasn’t lovely in fact.
D. To tell us it is unimportant to say sorry to others.
D
In 1670 two Scottish doctors set up a garden in the city of Edinburgh to find out connections between plants and medicine. That first garden wasn’t very big — about the size of a tennis court. Fast-forward 350 years, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) now covers an area bigger than 1,000 tennis courts. The RBGE’s goal is to “explore, conserve and explain the world of plants for a better future”.
After doctors and distant cousins Robert Sibbald and Andrew Balfour graduated from university in the mid-17th century, they shared the goal of improving Scottish medicine by looking into botanical (plant-related) research. They found some land near Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh and started to collect plants. They taught students how to grow exotic (外来的) plants and use them to make medicines. As the collection expanded (增加), the garden moved to different sites, including what is now Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.
In 1823, the garden was moved to its current location in Inverleith, a suburb of Edinburgh. It took three years to move the collection of plants and trees using specially built machines. The Tropical Palm House was built in 1834, and it was joined by the larger Temperate Palm House in 1858. Both are still popular with visitors. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the RBGE continued to search for new specimens (标本) from around the world.
The RBGE has about 13,500 species of living plants in its collection today. The herbarium — a collection of dried and protected species — includes more than three million plant samples, which represent more than half of the world’s known plants. The oldest specimen dates back to 1697. Experts continue to recognize new species each year, as well as growing plants that are extinct in their own habitats. The RBGE also works with botanical gardens around the world, including in Africa and South America, and supports them with conservation projects, education and training.
12. Why did Robert and Andrew build up the garden
A. To teach people some knowledge about exotic plants.
B. To do research on plants and medicine.
C. To protect endangered wildlife.
D. To practice their tennis skills.
13. When was the Tropical Palm House set up
A. In the mid-17th century. B. In the 20th century.
C. In1834. D. In1858.
14. What do we know about the RBGE
A. It has made achievements in growing extinct plants.
B. It has collected less than half of all known plants.
C. It is going to expand its sites in other countries.
D. It collects native plants only.
15. What is this text mainly about
A. How the RBGE has expanded. B. The progress of saving endangered plants.
C. Why a botanic garden was built. D. An introduction to the RBGE.

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.

One day, 12-year-old Sean Redden surfed the Internet and went to a popular chat room. Just as he was about to be offline, he saw a name he’d never seen there before, Susan. Her brief message was “Would someone help me ”
Sean typed back, “What’s wrong ” A moment later he received this message, “I can’t breathe. Help me! I can’t get out of my chair.”
Oh, man, Sean thought. Pretending to be paralyzed (瘫痪) was a bad joke. Then he wondered what if she really is sick “Hey. Mom.” he called. “There’s a kid here who’s sick or something.” Sharon looked at the computer screen. “It’s not just some game, is it ” she asked.
The message was not a joke. Susan was actually a 20-year-old student, working late at night at a college library near Helsinki, Finland - almost 7,000 miles away from Sean’s home in Texas. While searching the Internet, she began to feel terrible pain all through her body. The library was silent and empty. The nearest phone was outside in the hallway. She couldn’t move that far. Any movement caused the pain to get worse. Then she realized she might get help on the Internet.
“I don’t think it’s a joke, Mom, “Sean said. And he typed, “Where are you ” After a long while, the letters appeared, “Finland.” Sean and Sharon couldn’t believe it. Not knowing what else to do, Sharon called the local police.
Sharon explained the situation to the officer Amy Schmidt. Schmidt told Sharon to try to get the sick girl’s phone number. Texas police called the international telephone operator and asked to be connected to the proper agency (机构) in Finland. The call was put through to a nearby rescue station. The Texas police gave Susan’s address to the Finnish operator. When Sean heard that, he typed, “Help is on the way.”
In a few minutes, Susan heard people running down the hallway outside the door. Suddenly, the door opened. Emergency workers and three policemen ran in. Susan turned once more to the computer, “They are here. Thanks. Bye-bye.”
Four days later, the police in Texas received a message from officers in Finland: “Thanks to her Internet friend. Susan has received medical treatment she badly needed. She is doing well.”

My name is Jimmy. One Thursday afternoon, when I was in senior one, a new boy came into my classroom. He was short and thin. He walked up to the teacher and told her, very seriously, that he was new. His name was Christian. He sat down, took a look at me, and then looked away. I didn’t think he was very nice and I was sure he wasn’t the type I would like to become friends with.
During that year, I didn’t talk to him much, but he smiled at me when our eyes met, always shyly. He never ate lunch with anybody, and he never talked to anybody but me.
But one day I joined those unkind kids who were making fun of him. We made fun of him though I thought it was wrong.
“Haven’t you got any friends ” a kid asked Christian, who had walked past us alone, head down.
“No, he hasn’t got any friends. He’s too stupid and shy,” I said. Then Christian looked up at me with the saddest dog eyes I had ever seen. I felt very sorry at that moment.
That night, I couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t get Christian’s face out of my mind. In the weeks that followed, he never met my eyes in class and never smiled at me. It was really hard for me to decide to write him a note asking him to forgive (原谅) me. But I thought I should.
The next day in class, I wrote him a note telling him how sorry I felt. About five minutes later, I turned and saw tears in his eyes. “You will never realize what your apology (道歉) has meant to me, Jimmy.” he said to me. “I hope we can become friends.”
We had lunch together that noon and we had the best talk I had ever had. Over the years at high school, we were close friends.
When I think back, I realize that, if I had not apologized, I would never have known what a lovely person Christian was.
Apologies can really change your life, so never miss the chance to tell somebody you are sorry.
8. What do we about know Christian from the passage
A. He was tall and fat. B. He was short and thin.
C. He was short and active. D. He was lovely and fat.
9. Why didn’t Jimmy talk to Christian much at first

B. Christian wasn’t nice to people around him after he came to the new class.
C. Christian made friends with others.
D. Christian had the saddest dog eyes.
10. How did Jimmy feel after he made fun of Christian with other unkind kids
A. Happy. B. Interested. C. Sorry. D. Bored.
11. What is the purpose of this text
A. To tell us it is important to make an apology when we hurt others.
B. To show Jimmy’s apology was unimportant to Christian.
C. To introduce Christian wasn’t lovely in fact.
D. To tell us it is unimportant to say sorry to others.

In 1670, two Scottish doctors set up a garden in the city of Edinburgh to find out connections between plants and medicine. That first garden wasn’t very big — about the size of a tennis court. Fast-forward 350 years, and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) now covers an area bigger than 1,000 tennis courts. The RBGE’s goal is to “explore, conserve and explain the world of plants for a better future”.
After doctors and distant cousins Robert Sibbald and Andrew Balfour graduated from university in the mid-17th century, they shared the goal of improving Scottish medicine by looking into botanical (plant-related) research. They found some land near Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh and started to collect plants. They taught students how to grow exotic (外来的) plants and use them to make medicines. As the collection expanded (增加), the garden moved to different sites, including what is now Edinburgh’s Waverley Station.
In 1823, the garden was moved to its current location in Inverleith, a suburb of Edinburgh. It took three years to move the collection of plants and trees using specially built machines. The Tropical Palm House was built in 1834, and it was joined by the larger Temperate Palm House in 1858. Both are still popular with visitors. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the RBGE continued to search for new specimens (标本) from around the world.
The RBGE has about 13,500 species of living plants in its collection today. The herbarium — a collection of dried and protected species — includes more than three million plant samples, which represent more than half of the world’s known plants. The oldest specimen dates back to 1697. Experts continue to recognize new species each year, as well as growing plants that are extinct in their own habitats. The RBGE also works with botanical gardens around the world, including in Africa and South America, and supports them with conservation projects, education and training.
12. Why did Robert and Andrew build up the garden
A. To teach people some knowledge about exotic plants.
B. To do research on plants and medicine.
C. To protect endangered wildlife.
D. To practice their tennis skills.
13. When was the Tropical Palm House set up
A. In the mid-17th century. B. In the 20th century.
C. In1834. D. In1858.
14. What do we know about the RBGE
A. It has made achievements in growing extinct plants.
B. It has collected less than half of all known plants.
C. It is going to expand its sites in other countries.
D. It collects native plants only.
15. What is this text mainly about
A. How the RBGE has expanded. B. The progress of saving endangered plants.
C. Why a botanic garden was built. D. An introduction to the RBGE.

前文“Sometimes it is difficult to remember information. (有时很难记住信息)”指出存在难以记忆信息的问题，后文“Try the following steps below to remember information you want to keep in your long-term memory. (尝试下面的手段来记住你想要长期记忆的信息)”建议尝试帮助记忆的手段，因此E项“But there are ways to make it easier (但有很多方法可以让它变得更容易)”符合语境，指出存在让记忆变得简单的方法，和前文形成转折，引出后文的建议，其中的it指代前文的to remember information，easier和前文的difficult形成对比。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据段首句“Organize information into groups. (将信息整理成组)”可知，本段建议将信息分组，后文“It is like a supermarket; things of the same kind are put in the same place. (这就像一个超市；同类的东西放在同一个地方)”借用超市来解释将信息分组的概念，因此B项“This will help you remember things better and longer if they are grouped.

【18题详解】
根据段首句“Connect related information. (连接相关信息)”可知，本段建议将信息连接，后文“This is an excellent way for you to keep information in mind as it can make your memory function better when the related information is needed. (这是一种很好的记住信息的方法，因为当需要相关信息时，它可以使你的记忆功能更好)”说明将信息连接的好处，因此A项“Relate what you have already known to what you will remember. (把你已经知道的和你将要记住的联系起来)”符合语境，具体说明是将已知的信息和未知的相联系，承接段首句，引出后文的好处，其中的Relate和段首句中的Connect呼应。故选A。
【19题详解】
空处是段首句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式。根据后文“When you need to remember a piece of information, try relating it to a picture that is easily remembered. (当你需要记住一段信息时，试着把它和一张容易记住的图画联系起来)”可知，本段建议通过画面帮助记忆，因此D项“Develop pictures in your mind. (在你的脑海中形成画面)”符合语境，契合后文内容，其中的pictures在后文有同词复现。故选D。
【20题详解】
前文“Repeat. The more you are exposed to something, the easier it is to remember at a later time. (重复。你接触的东西越多，以后就越容易记住)”建议通过重复加深记忆，后文“Try using his name at least three times when you first talk to someone. That name will be easier to remember later. (当你第一次和别人说话时，试着提到他的名字至少三次。这个名字以后会更容易记住)”通过具体的记住人名的场景，示范如何落实该建议，因此G项“This is especially good for meeting new people (这对结识新朋友尤其有好处)”符合语境，提到结识新朋友的场景，承接前文，引出后文的示范，其中的This指代前文的Repeat。故选G。

Honesty Won’t Let You Down
Asad was a 13-year-old boy who was very honest and hardworking. Recently, he had entered a new school, so he had no friends yet. On Monday morning, he was nearly late for school. The night before, his family attended his cousin’s wedding and reached home late, which was why he couldn’t get up on time as usual.
At school, Asad could not pay attention to anything and wanted the bell to ring so that he could buy something to eat. After a few hours, when the bell rang, Asad quickly opened his schoolbag to find his money, but just then he remembered that he had left for school in a hurry in the morning and forgotten to take money. He looked under his books, hoping to find some money but there was nothing.
Not knowing what to do, he walked out of the classroom and sat on a bench in front of the canteen. He saw a few of his classmates there, among them was Fahad. He was one of the richest kids in his class, but he was a very arrogant boy who thought everyone else was a loser. But as Asad was new, he didn’t know much about Fahad.
When he went towards Fahad and asked if he could borrow some money for his lunch, Fahad laughed a lot and said, “I knew you were a loser, maybe a beggar ” Fahad laughed out so loud that other kids also heard it and made fun of the situation. He didn’t answer Fahad, and slowly walked back towards an empty bench.
When he reached the bench, he noticed something lying near it. It was a wallet. He picked it up and recognized it as Fahad’s, as he remembered Fahad showing it to his friends and telling them that his uncle had bought it for him from the UK. There was quite a lot of money inside for a kid.
续写要求：

【答案】
At first, Asad wanted to keep it a secret and punished Fahad. However, another voice urged him to give it back to Fahad, which made him feel torn. “I should never keep the wallet at the cost of my honesty” Asad convinced himself. He caught Fahad up, and return it to Fahad. Taking over the wallet, Fahad said, “Why are you giving it back ” Calmly and patiently, Asad explained, “I had originally wanted to keep it secret as a punishment for your arrogance, but being honest matters more to me.” Hearing what Asad had said, Fahad felt ashamed and apologized to Asad, and treated him for lunch.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Asad是一个非常诚实和勤奋的男孩。最近，他进入了一所新学校，还没有朋友。一天，Asad忘记带钱包了，没钱吃午饭，他问Fahad能不能借点钱吃午饭时，Fahad嘲笑他。他走开后，却发现了Fahad的钱包。经过思想斗争，最终，Asad将钱包还给了Fahad。
