At thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断)with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and their write on it, all within 45minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are not different from your classmates, young man. ”
I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it homie.
In the quietness of my bedroom; the ‘story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raise dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind”in my class; being made to learn like the “sighted” students My thoughts spilled out(溢出)and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place: If Louis could find his “Way out of his problems, why should I ever give up ”
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to ‘me the next day-. with an “A”on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:. “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

D. He learned a lot from school
6. What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story

Among all the fast-growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, so it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life-span can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the British royal family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, so these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in the normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
8. What does the underlined word "them" in the second paragraph refer to
A. People with cancer or heart disease. B. Millions of people with serious diseases.
C. Some diseases doctors can do nothing with. D. The two illnesses of cancer and heart disease.
9. What can gene technology do according to Paragraph 3
A. It can help the British royal family out. B. It can be used to clone human babies.
C. It can help people to give birth to a baby. D. It can cure hereditary diseases.
10. What are people worried about according to the passage
A. Human babies may be cloned in large quantities. B. Healthy human babies will soon be cloned.
C. Scientists may find the wrong genes. D. The government may not control gene technology.
11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ______.
A. Gene Technology Will Benefit People B. Gene Technology Will Do Harm As Well
C. Gene Technology Is A Hot Topic D. Gene Technology Is Growing Fast
D
My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,” said my parents.
Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student. Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining (下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes!I could not believe it — I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year: States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast.
Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I had received awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.
Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. The writer always thought Southside High School was the best.
B. The writer’s parents persuaded her into attending Southside High School.
C. The writer has met many challenges since she attended high school.
D. Life has become easier since the writer came to Southside High School.
13. How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year
A. Excited. B. Worried.
C. Curious. D. Uninterested.
14. Why was the writer’s study worse and worse
A. She didn’t work hard enough.
B. She didn’t ask others for help because of her pride.
C. She missed many important speeches.
D. No one would like to help her.
15. What important lesson has the writer learned at Southside High School
A. Students should face challenges bravely.
B. Students should be careful in choosing school.
C. Students should be proud of their school.
D. Students should better learn about life.

The teenage years can be tough, and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them, you may be suffering from depression. ______16______.
Try not to isolate yourself.
When you're depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just geting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. ______17______ Spend time with friends, especially those who are active.
Keep your body healthy
Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a "runners high" Physical activities can be as effective as medications for depression, so get involved in sports, ride your bike, or take a dance class. Any activity helps! ______18______ As for food, make sure you are feeding your mind with plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a "mood boost", even if just for a short time.

You will need special treatment for your substance problem.
Ask for help if you are stressed
Stress and worry can lead to depression. ______20______ In addition, if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about, see a doctor.

The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to buy some vegetables in the nearby greengrocer’s. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the back mirror to make sure no people or vehicles came close, and slowly turned the wheel to the right. Then out of my expectation, my car knocked into an electric bike, giving out a loud noise of metal clash. I came back to myself and saw out of the window screen a teenager lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on extremely hot and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream.
Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I was pushed towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, hurried to check on me, "Are you okay Your leg Your foot "
"I am all right, but..."I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for "big" sum of money for compensation (赔偿). Instead, he just let me go despite his wife’s protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake by mistake.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右:

Among all the fast-growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, so it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life-span can be prolonged.
Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the British royal family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.
Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, so these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in the normal way. Of course, the government must take care to control gene technology.
8. What does the underlined word "them" in the second paragraph refer to
A. People with cancer or heart disease. B. Millions of people with serious diseases.
C. Some diseases doctors can do nothing with. D. The two illnesses of cancer and heart disease.
9. What can gene technology do according to Paragraph 3
A. It can help the British royal family out. B. It can be used to clone human babies.
C. It can help people to give birth to a baby. D. It can cure hereditary diseases.
10. What are people worried about according to the passage
A. Human babies may be cloned in large quantities. B. Healthy human babies will soon be cloned.
C. Scientists may find the wrong genes. D. The government may not control gene technology.
11. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage ______.
A. Gene Technology Will Benefit People B. Gene Technology Will Do Harm As Well
C. Gene Technology Is A Hot Topic D. Gene Technology Is Growing Fast
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A

My high school life has been filled with many ups and downs, whether it was social or academic. Even though my current high school was not my first choice, I never regretted attending Southside High School. “Since you have chosen it, then it is the best for you,” said my parents.
Up until the junior year I did not realize my capabilities (能力) as a student. Being in the IB Program, I was told that my junior year would be the toughest in all the years of high school. With this “little” piece of information, I walked into my junior year, scared of my grades. As weeks went by, I started to believe that the junior year was not as hard as everyone had said, but I was wrong. My grades were rapidly declining (下降) and by the end of the first term I had had five Cs in seven of my classes!I could not believe it — I did not want to believe it. I tried my best to get my grades up myself without any help from anyone, but my pride just made my grades worse. And I had to miss out on one of the most important speech and debate competitions all year: States. I was heartbroken. I realized that I could not survive my junior year on my own, so I had to get help fast.
Once I got a tutor, my grades went from Cs, Ds, and even some Fs, to nothing but As and Bs. I slowly started to gain my confidence back in all of my classes and even myself. By the time the third and fourth quarter came around, I had been on the honor roll twice, and I had received awards from speeches and debates, tennis and school.
Southside has taught me to always keep my head up and never give up on myself no matter what life throws at me. I am proud to be a Southside Tiger.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. The writer always thought Southside High School was the best.
B. The writer’s parents persuaded her into attending Southside High School.
C. The writer has met many challenges since she attended high school.
D. Life has become easier since the writer came to Southside High School.
13. How did the writer feel when she walked into her junior year
A. Excited. B. Worried.
C. Curious. D. Uninterested.
14. Why was the writer’s study worse and worse
A. She didn’t work hard enough.
B. She didn’t ask others for help because of her pride.
C. She missed many important speeches.
D. No one would like to help her.
15. What important lesson has the writer learned at Southside High School
A. Students should face challenges bravely.
B. Students should be careful in choosing school.
C. Students should be proud of their school.
D. Students should better learn about life.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A

The Magic of Travel
Traveling offers us the opportunity to explore new cultures, gain broader perspectives, and rejuvenate our spirits.

This trip taught me the importance of preserving our heritage while embracing the beauty of diversity.

The other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to buy some vegetables in the nearby greengrocer’s. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the back mirror to make sure no people or vehicles came close, and slowly turned the wheel to the right. Then out of my expectation, my car knocked into an electric bike, giving out a loud noise of metal clash. I came back to myself and saw out of the window screen a teenager lean on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on extremely hot and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream.
Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I was pushed towards the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn’t get hurt but still couldn’t rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle-aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, hurried to check on me, "Are you okay Your leg Your foot "
"I am all right, but..."I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for "big" sum of money for compensation (赔偿). Instead, he just let me go despite his wife’s protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake by mistake.

Now this boy was in the same situation I was in.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then I took a closer look at the damage to my car.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Now this boy was in the same situation I was in. The cause of the accident was clearly the boy’s responsibility. Yet I wasn’t angry as the way to deal with the accident that driver taught me years ago. I hurried out of the car to check on the boy. Luckily, he wasn’t hurt, just scared. I also checked his electric bike, and there was no damage. During this time, the boy did not say a word, but he stared hard at the back of my car.
Then I took a closer look at the damage to my car. I found the back of the car badly damaged. It would cost a lot of money to repair the damaged part. I realized why the boy was staring at the car. He’s afraid I’ll make him pay to fix his car. I comforted him, saying that he didn’t need to pay me. I would handle it myself. I let him go and reminded him to be safe in the future. The boy thanked me and rode off.
