【答案】 At lunch, my friend Kate who had been invited came over to me, trying to show off. She said with pride, “Bridget’s party will definitely be awesome!” I didn’t look at Kate, because if I saw any pity in her eyes, I’d start crying so I pretended to look for something seemingly important in my backpack until she left. I hated Bridget, for she had made my life miserable. Why did I have to change myself to please her As I changed classes, I averted my eyes from everyone I knew. I determined that I wouldn’t pretend to be the one I wasn’t.
I was about to let it go when Bridget invited me as a substitute for a girl who couldn’t come. After class, Bridget headed toward my line, weaving through the crowd. I pretended not to notice and looked straight ahead at the blackboard. I felt a hand on my arm. Bridget held out an invitation. “Will you come to my party ” I looked at the small envelope, relishing the moment. But my mind was a jumble. Now she wanted me to come to her party, but I was just filling a space. “Take it”， I thought. “You know you want to go.” I hesitated and finally said no. I had already found the pleasure of being myself.绝密★考试结束前

Robert Winston stepped outside a convenience store with his morning coffee and spotted a homeless man, Paul Krupa, sitting with his back against the building. A small dog sat in his lap. Winston, a vet (兽医) at an animal hospital, noticed its injured fur and skin. He approached the man and offered to bring medication for the dog’s skin, a gift the man readily accepted.
“I remember returning a week later, and the hair was coming back and the rash (皮疹) was gone,” Winston told the Modesto Bee. Paul said his dog was finally sleeping at night again because it was no longer feeling restless for its illness. “‘And you know,’ he said, ‘I’m sleeping at night.’ He started to cry, and that got me touched too,” Winston says.
Winston was addicted. “When you do good deeds, there is something you get in return that feels much larger. I knew I wanted to keep doing it,” he told .
Today, Winston, 50, has his own practice in town, yet he still finds time for street pets. He’s helped roughly 400 animals since 2011.
There’s a great need for his kind of help. About 25 percent of Modesto’s homeless population owns a pet, but there are few healthcare options available to them. To fill that gap, Winston can often be found wandering dark streets and underpasses (地下通道), anywhere he thinks the homeless might be camped out. Winston pays for almost all of it out of his own pocket. For those expensive procedures, he set up a GoFundMe account to help cover treatment costs. “I don’t ever want to have to turn anybody away,” he explains.
“To have somebody like Dr. Winston come out here to take care of my dog just because it’s the right thing to do, that’s huge.” Joe, one of the dog owners, said in a video that Winston posted on the GoFundMe page.
4. What did Robert Winston do to help Paul Krupa’s dog
A. Offering mental comfort. B. Introducing some famous vets.
C. Providing medical treatment. D. Bringing it to an animal hospital.
5. What directly caused Robert Winston to keep treating street pets with kindness
A. The professional habit of a vet. B. The inspiration from offering help to Paul.
C. The population of the homeless. D. The requirements from the animal hospital.
6. Which of the following can best describe Robert Winston
A. Wealthy and caring. B. Kind and generous.
C. Smart and humorous. D. Brave and intelligent.
7. What’s the text mainly about
A. Good vets are in great need. B. Street pets should be well treated.
C. Winston rose to fame overnight. D. A vet’s kind act makes a difference.
C
Many of us hold on to little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us — believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.
A friend of mine recently told me that she hadn’t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn’t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “I can’t do that. He’s the one who should apologize.” After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case, when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.
Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn’t mean that you’re wrong. Everything will be fine. You’ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.
You’ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”, they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don’t, that’s okay too. You’ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you’ll be more peaceful yourself.
8. The underlined word “rekindle” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.
A. develop B. recover C. accept D. establish
9. According to the author, we hold on to our anger often because we think ________.
A. our own opinions matter most B. others will be less defensive
C. our positions are higher than others D. we can turn small issues into big ones
10. The best thing to do after a quarrel is to ________.
A. let go of our own rights B. realize you’re wrong
C. expect others to give in D. apologize to others first
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. We should keep peaceful when facing small stuff.
B. We should tell apart small and big stuff in our daily life.
C. Reaching out and apologizing wins one peace and happiness.
D. It’s necessary for us to enjoy our friendship and family relationship.
D
The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of a nostalgic (怀旧的) skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful — both in school and in life.
Karen Mitchell, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Mitchell and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks — both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Mitchell looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active, which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Mitchell said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind into written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Mitchell, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct them over time.
“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”
12. What makes writing by hand a thing of the past
A. The lack of blackboards in classrooms. B. The popular use of smartphones.
C. The use of new technologies in teaching. D. The lack of practice in handwriting.
13. Mitchell’s study published in 2009 indicated ________.
A. that students prefer to write with a pen and paper.
B. that good essays are made up of long sentences.
C. the importance of writing speed and spelling ability.
D. the difference between writing by hand and on a computer.
14. Which of the following best shows the role of spelling
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
15. What conclusion could be drawn from the passage
A. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Computers can help people with the choice of words.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

Be yourself and always follow your heart. Never let anyone change who you are. This is the lesson I have learned from my childhood experience when I figured out I wasn’t invited to the party, Bridget’s party.
One morning, I got off the bus and saw my friends except me hugging under the tree where we used to stand. The circle seemed tighter as I approached；the white invitation cards being hastily stuffed into backpacks gave it away. I knew as well as the entire universe that Bridget’s party was this weekend. Bridget was the most popular girl in our class. She was thin and beautiful, always wearing fabulous clothes and fine makeup.
Why hadn’t she invited me My feet were too big No. Maybe. My face was broken out Why did she invite every person in my group except me I tried to think of any interactions I’d had with Bridget recently. A few days earlier, we’d been partners during a sixth period project. I was determined to get the project done and she was absorbed in looking at fashion magazines. She barely spoke to me except to say, “You’re so serious. You know, you should smile more."
Soon, I had overheard all the details about the party. They were going swimming. It was a sleepover. They were renting scary movies and were going to stay up all night. Each time someone mentioned the party, I smiled weakly and nodded, with my stomach in knots.
When having my favorite English class, I found myself just unable to concentrate on the short stories we were supposed to be reading in class. Maybe she didn’t invite me because of my coat. It is pretty ugly compared to some of the other girls’ coats. I should have bought another color. Maybe I should smile more but I just can’t get into smiling at people unless I know them really well. But I just couldn’t pretend to be the person I wasn’t. I felt sick.
