On a Saturday afternoon, you find most kids outside playing games. Kids were made for the outdoors, with their endless energy and the easy way in which they make friends. It’s not different for Kameron, an ordinary, fun-loving 7-year-old girl who loves to draw out the world’s longest hopscotch(跳格子) on the sidewalk.
In between jump-rope games, basketball shootouts and skateboard races, Kameron takes time to do something special for her neighbors. Kameron’s community is home to a good mix of young families and elderly neighbors whose children have long since left home. Kameron first started waving to them. Most of them smiled back.
Then Kameron decides that some of them need a little pleasure. So she runs home, takes her violin and makes the rounds. “Can I play you a song ” she asks, after knocking on the door.
Gustav smiles wide. He has beautiful white hair and a soft accent. He grew up in Scandinavia and is a wood finisher. His wife Vivian has a smile that fills their tiny home. She stands awkwardly, and has difficulty moving about. It looks terribly uncomfortable. Vivian has had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩) for over 20 years. Gustav is her full-time caregiver. They’ve replaced their daily walks with afternoon drives, but even those are getting too difficult for Vivian.
Gus lets Kameron in, and Vivian takes hold of both their arms and pulls to her chair. On the table beside her is a photo of her with Gus when they were young and energetic, traveling around Europe, Egypt and Iceland. In the photo, Vivian is very beautiful, and Gus is handsome.
“Want me to play your favorite song ” Kameron asks. “Of course,” Gus answers. It is the only song Kameron knows.
The small violin rests seriously under Kameron’s chin(下巴). She plays as best she can. Vivian beats her knee obviously to keep rhythm(节奏) for Kameron. Gus holds Vivian’s other hand. It’s not the performance that is moving, but the memories it brings.
4. What is Kameron special compared with other kids

I love travelling, but it hasn’t always been my passion. In my first year of university, I started to travel during the holiday. During the Christmas holiday I went to Paris, and during the spring vacation, I visited Athens and various cities in Italy. I was very excited because this was the first time I had travelled abroad with just my friends. This desire to travel started off simply as a way to have something to look forward to after exams, but I soon discovered how important it is to travel.
On my travels I have had the opportunity where I not only experience new and exciting cultures through the art, history, language and food, but also communicate with people who have different views on life. Travelling is a learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet. Some people I met during my travels had never heard of Gambia and it was very delightful to share my African roots with them. When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural backgrounds and as a result, sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged. It’s important to learn to see things from other people’s perspectives (视角) and challenge your own.
This is how I realized that travelling is the realization of home. When you travel you can see a different setting, a different language and a different way of living.
Travelling is truly an enriching experience and I am always excited about the discoveries that wait for me in my next adventure!

10. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. The author is a student from America.

An Honest Mistake
Alice double-checked the words on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s First-Quarter Spelling Challenge and a brand-new dictionary that came with videos and other cool stuff. Plus, Lisa had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.
Three more words to go. n-i-c-e-l-y. q-u-i-c-k-l-y. h-o-n-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled “honesty”, not “honestly”! She hurriedly erased the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.
“I’ll correct and grade these test papers at the break”, said Lisa. Alice hurried into the classroom. She sat restlessly in her seat with her fingers crossed. Then Lisa walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat.
“Congratulations, Alice! You did it!” she announced. The whole class burst into applause! Lisa presented Alice with her prize. Alice grinned(咧嘴笑) as she read the label on the box: To Alice Carter, for her perfect first -quarter score in spelling.
“Is everything OK ” Mom asked as Alice burst through the front door after school. “Everything is perfect!” Alice shouted, showing Mom her spelling test paper and prize. Mom hugged her. “Put the test on the fridge so Dad can see it when he get home. And Casper, too. ” Alice scooped (抱起) up her cat. “Casper, can you spell nicely, quickly and honestly ” Alice’s heart missed a beat suddenly. “Honestly ” H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!
“Alice, what’s the matter ” said Mom. “I don’t feel so good,” Alice said, putting Casper down and stuffing the test paper into her backpack. “Probably too much excitement.” Mom rubbed her back. “How about some tea ” Alice swallowed, “How did you know A “t” is exactly what I needed.

46. Dear Tim,
Knowing that you are enthusiastic about Chinese traditional festivals, I’m writing to introduce my favourite one named the Lantern Festival. It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival.
There is a wide range of interesting activities. People get together to have a family reunion dinner, eating tang yuan, balls of sticky rice flour stuffed with different fillings. Its round shape symbolizes unity, harmony and happiness. After dinner, family and friends go out to enjoy the magnificent and dazzling lantern show and guess riddles written on the lanterns.
It allows Chinese people to gratefully reunite with family members, which has been an integral part of Chinese culture.
Yours,
Li Hua

Shortly afterwards, Alice dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper. Recalling the joyful moment, a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her, Alice slowly picked up her pen, hesitant. “If I put the missing t back in, no one would ever know.” she thought. The moment the nib touched the paper, her heart began to beat fast, her hand trembling. Straightening her back, Alice took a few deep breaths, tossed the pen on the table and stormed out of the house with her backpack. She raced back to school as fast as her legs could carry her.
Paragraph 2:
Alice pushed open the door of Lisa’s office. At the sight of Alice, Lisa asked her what was happening. Alice unzipped her bag, pulled out the prize and handed it to her teacher. Head down, she explained her mistake in spelling competition. For a moment, Lisa stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary. Then she picked up a pen, crossed out the word perfect on the label and wrote honest before handing the prize back to Alice. “I get to keep this Honestly ” she asked suspiciously, “Not for the spelling mistake you made,”Lisa smiled “But for your honesty.”
