1．At the beginning of the new term，a teacher at Ringrose Kindergarten decided to do something different to choose "the Excellent Kid" of this term.One day the teacher brought a bag of boiled seeds，and then called the kids together，and said， "I am going to give each one of you a seed today，a very special seed.You are to plant the seed，water it and come back here at the end of this term with what you have grown from the seed you bring to me，and the one I choose will be "the Excellent Kid".
Like the others，a boy named James received a seed.He went home and told his mother the story excitedly.She helped him get a pot and soil，and he planted the seed.Evert day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks，some of the other kids began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
James kept checking his seed，but nothing grew.Four weeks，five weeks went by，still nothing.By now，others were all talking about their plants，but James didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Two months went by，there was still nothing in James' pot.He just knew he had ruined his seed.Everyone else had tall plants，but he had nothing.James didn't say anything.However，he just kept watering the fertilizing （给……施肥） the soil，expecting the seed to grow.
A term finally went by.All the kids brought their plants to the teacher for inspection.James told his mother he wasn't going to take an empty pot.But she encouraged him to go，and to be honest about what happened.James felt restless because it would be the most embarrassing moment of his life，but he knew his mother was right.

In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me．I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway．So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains．"Don't be late for supper，"Uncle Paul cried，"and keep to the track so that you don't get lost！""OK！"my dad cried back．After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight．It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene．It looked like a beautiful woven（编织的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us．

This time，the son shouted at his father，"Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again，although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'.Are you not able to understand this？"

"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa，when a crow was sitting on the window.My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."

In 1968，I was a student at the Sophia Hagopian High School in Beirut，Lebanon.One day，I went to the head teacher's office and told him that my parents could not pay the tuition（学费）.Although I was the top student in my class，I was sent home because of being short of money.This was a heartbreaking experience for me，as I really wanted to continue my education.
I went home and spent my day at my father's tire﹣repair shop.One day，a very old man saw me in the shop and wondered why I was not in school.I told him the reason.He offered to help by calling the head teacher of the Hovaguimian﹣Manougian High School and asking him to accept me without tuition.The next day，I took a city bus to the school and went to the head teacher's office.However，when I told the head teacher the reason for my visit，he shouted at me that there was no free tuition.I immediately turned around and rushed back to my home.
On the third day，one of my classmates from Sophia Hagopian High School came to inform me that the head teacher had sent him to tell me that I should come back to school and register（登记）.When I arrived at school，I told the registrar that I could not pay the tuition.She said that my tuition had been fully paid.I asked the registrar who paid for my tuition so that I can thank him，I was told that the kind person wanted to remain unknown.
I went to my classroom，but kept wondering who was the person that gave me the golden opportunity to continue my education.I went back to the head teacher's office after classes and begged the registrar to tell me the name of the kind person.Finally，on the condition that I wouldn't go and express the thanks，she told me that it was my English teacher，Olivia Balian.I promised that I would not talk to her.

6．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．
Why do earthquakes happen？Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates．Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other．Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt．Because of the movements of these plates，California，China and Japan have a lot of earthquakes．You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate．When the 1906 earthquake happened，the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north．
China is a country where many earthquakes happen．The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest．The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolongma．It now causes earthquakes in China．We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities．First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet．Second，if you think there may be an earthquake，make sure to build houses on rock rather than sand．Third，you must make the houses as strong as possible．Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake，but strong ones may stay up．
7．One day when I was 12， my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem﹣inability to read． （阅读障碍）
In the library，I found my way into the "Children's Room"．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a dog．I had recently had a dog，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but later he was given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forget my dog．
There on the book's cover was a dog which looked the same with my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Dog with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion．When I finished my reading，a stream of tears ran down my checks．It was until then I realized that I have overcome my inability to read．Thus，this was the very first book for me which I had read through and deeply immersed in real sense．

"Class，please line up!Let's welcome Marti，" said Ms.Baroni，our taekwondo（跆拳道） teacher.
I was excited that my best friend Marti would be taking lessons，too.
Everyone said， "Hi." Marti went red in the face.
"You don't need to be shy here，" I said to Marti in a quiet voice. "Everyone's really nice.
After warm﹣up exercises ，Ms.Baroni divided everyone into groups.Even though I was a level above Marti，Ms.Baroni told us to practice together. "Jenna，why don't you show Marti some basic kicks？"
I said sure and showed her a front kick.Marti copied it.Her kick was as high as my shoulder. "Great job，Marti!Let me show you something，" said Ms.Baroni.She then spent the next five minutes working with Marti.I leaned （倚靠） against the wall and watched Marti copy everything Ms.
Baroni did.The more Marti did，the more praise she received from Ms.Baroni.
I practiced my form half﹣heartedly. "What if Marti became better than me？What if Marti became Ms.Baroni's favorite student？" I couldn't help thinking.
"Watch your form!"
"Who is Ms.Baroni speaking to？" I wondered.I turned and saw Ms.Baroni looking directly at me.Nothing could have been worse.
At the end of class，I took my bag and hurried outside to find my mom.I had planned to wait and say goodbye to Marti，but now I wanted to be alone.For the next several weeks，Marti continued to impress our teacher with her skills.Honestly，I felt a little jealous （忌妒的） of her.And as Marti turned into a star student，I became less and less excited about taekwondo.
One day，as we walked down the hallway at school，Marti said， "Ms.Baroni thinks I'm ready to take the test for the next level."
I was surprised. "It's harder than you think.Two judges other than Ms.Baroni will give you points，" I said.
Marti looked disappointed （失望的）."You don't think I'm good enough to take the test yet？"

Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute，the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully，Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear!The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

Ten﹣year﹣old Sami loved to visit his grandfather's house.The house was near the beautiful blue sea.At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them.When the coconuts fell down，Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water.Sami liked to play under the trees.It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.

What do the China's "New Four Great Inventions" bring to us？
High﹣speed rail—Modern transportation makes everybody neighbor.The invention of the high﹣speed rail makes it easy to travel thousands of miles a day.Today China's rail transit technology is the best，the China's daily average of 4，000 trains，sending about 4.6 million passengers.
Shared bike—Short walks become more convenient and faster，and carbon emission is reduced，which is friendly to the environment.You can download the APP about shared bikes，pay some money，then you can use bicycles everywhere in the street.The Chinese shared bicycle programs have been becoming more and more popular.
Online shopping—Don't need to go out to find the needs for living.Online shopping，as the name implies，is to pay money online.Purchases（购买物）can be sent home.China has 751 million Internet users，724 million mobile phone users；total transactions（销售额）on November 11 and December 12 hit a record high every year.Online shopping lets Chinese internet users enjoy "shopping carnival" every day.
Alipay—A software which can replace cash payment.With intelligence phones' popularization，AliPay has become an indispensable（不可或缺的）APP.Through scanning the "QR code"，AliPay wants to realize the ambition of "replacing cash payments" gradually.On 11 November 2018，both the mobile payment account and the transaction reached 213.5 billion.

Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis，and he was my cousin．By the age of 19，Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota．I wanted to be exactly like him．So when Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota，I was excited!
After planning the trip，we gathered clothes and supplies，and began our great adventure．We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening．On our way to the campsite，Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains，saying that it was the ranger station （护林站） where the forester worked．
Finally，after a long walk，we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting．Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper．After we gathered enough wood from the forest，he started the campfire using only stone and steel ﹣ no matches．For supper we feasted on freeze﹣dried beef，wild rice and pea soup．I ate greedily after all that work．
Tired enough，we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day．We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up；the temperature dropped and it began to snow．Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent．He dragged a log （原木） from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire．Then he wrapped （包裹） aluminum foil （铝箔） around the log．The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent．Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams．
The snow had stopped，but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire．I was abruptly awakened by Steve．Our tent was on fire．Frightened，I ran out of the tent immediately．The tent collapsed （倒塌） with Steve inside．Without any thought of endangering myself，I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake．Fortunately，we were not seriously hurt．

As a stay﹣at﹣home mom for 26 years，KC just turned 50 and she wanted to seek a job.She was not just looking for something to do.Putting four kids through college had left her severe financial problems and getting a job was a must！
From childhood，all KC wanted to be was a mom. "That's all.I'm just a mom who stays at home with her children and creates a good and comfortable home for her family." She was not sure why that ambition（夙愿）was so strong for her. "My mom worked full﹣time so I did not see her often.Maybe because I wished she had been at home with me，" KC said.So after the birth of her first child，KC gave up her job and spent the next 26 years taking care of her children.But after such a long time，she wanted to find a job.
She realized the difficulty of the situation.When she sent a resume that had a 26﹣year gap，she knew it was lucky if she could get an interview，let alone an offer.Besides，her education was also one of the obstacles（障碍）.The fact that she didn't go to college was a disadvantage.
So after her own experiences，she advised others， "Get a college degree！You needn't change the thing about being a stay﹣at﹣home mom，but do something ﹣ no matter how small ﹣ to keep your skills up to date.There are so many choices these days that it will be easy to do while you're a full﹣time mom."
KC would still like to get a degree and then she discussed it with her husband.Her husband thought that she needed to go to a tutorial school.She agreed.
With a college degree seemingly impossible at that moment，KC wanted to develop her skills so she would be ready for work.She wanted to keep up with current technology so she took classes to learn to use software.

In the class she was the oldest student.________

From her own experiences，she realized the importance of education.______

Every year，we go to school and follow the same schedule.We also follow the same break schedule every year.However，there are other choices，one of which is the year﹣round schedule.Instead of taking a full summer vacation，a year﹣round school continues to run on a 180﹣day learning schedule.It simply takes shorter breaks throughout the year.For example，a school might follow the 45﹣15 schedule.This means that school lasts 45 days，and then students get a 15﹣day break.The schedules can differ though.The 60﹣20 and 90﹣30 are other common schedules.Many countries around the world are already following the year﹣round schedule successfully.Data（资料） from around the world show that there are many benefits（好处）which come from staying at school with shorter breaks throughout the year.
During the traditional summer vacation，students can forget much of the information they learned from the previous grade.Year﹣round learning changes this.The students stay engaged（参与）with the learning process （过程） throughout the year，which reduces information loss.Even though the students at a year﹣round school attend the same days，they are at a slight advantage because the shorter breaks help them keep more of what they learn.
Although a long summer vacation seems inviting，for many students，the reality of summer is that it becomes very boring.Even families who have their students take part in different kinds of activities can find it difficult to keep their children fully engaged during a break that can last as long as 12 weeks.By creating shorter breaks throughout the year，there are fewer opportunities for boredom，which means there are fewer chances to get into trouble.
Because there are several shorter breaks offered throughout the year，families have more opportunities to schedule a vacation.Although this benefit may not apply to every family，it does offer choices for some.Traveling during off﹣season days is also cheaper at most places，which allows families to have the same amount of fun for less of a cost.

一．书面表达（共15小题）
1．At the beginning of the new term，a teacher at Ringrose Kindergarten decided to do something different to choose "the Excellent Kid" of this term.One day the teacher brought a bag of boiled seeds，and then called the kids together，and said， "I am going to give each one of you a seed today，a very special seed.You are to plant the seed，water it and come back here at the end of this term with what you have grown from the seed you bring to me，and the one I choose will be "the Excellent Kid".
Like the others，a boy named James received a seed.He went home and told his mother the story excitedly.She helped him get a pot and soil，and he planted the seed.Evert day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks，some of the other kids began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.
James kept checking his seed，but nothing grew.Four weeks，five weeks went by，still nothing.By now，others were all talking about their plants，but James didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.
Two months went by，there was still nothing in James' pot.He just knew he had ruined his seed.Everyone else had tall plants，but he had nothing.James didn't say anything.However，he just kept watering the fertilizing （给……施肥） the soil，expecting the seed to grow.
A term finally went by.All the kids brought their plants to the teacher for inspection.James told his mother he wasn't going to take an empty pot.But she encouraged him to go，and to be honest about what happened.James felt restless because it would be the most embarrassing moment of his life，but he knew his mother was right.

6．阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要．
Why do earthquakes happen？Scientists believe that the surface of the earth is covered by a number of moving plates．Sometimes two plates move towards and push against each other．Sometimes they stop for years but at other times they jump and an earthquake is felt．Because of the movements of these plates，California，China and Japan have a lot of earthquakes．You can see the result in San Francisco where the Pacific plate meets the North American plate．When the 1906 earthquake happened，the Pacific plate jumped 5 to 6 metres to the north．
China is a country where many earthquakes happen．The Pacific plate is pushing China from the east and the Indian plate is pushing China from the southwest．The power of this movement created the Himalayas and Mount Qomolongma．It now causes earthquakes in China．We cannot stop earthquakes but we can do things to make sure they do not destroy whole cities．First it is not a good idea to build houses along the line where two plates meet．Second，if you think there may be an earthquake，make sure to build houses on rock rather than sand．Third，you must make the houses as strong as possible．Weak buildings will fall down in an earthquake，but strong ones may stay up．

7．One day when I was 12， my mother gave me an order：I was to walk to the public library，and borrow at least one book for the summer．This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem﹣inability to read． （阅读障碍）
In the library，I found my way into the "Children's Room"．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf．The cover of a book caught my eye．It presented a picture of a dog．I had recently had a dog，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child．He was my secret sharer，but later he was given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him．I never forget my dog．
There on the book's cover was a dog which looked the same with my dog．I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover．My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Dog with a Plan．Unknowingly，I had read the title．Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for summer．
Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos．I read very，very slowly with difficulty．Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home．At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion．When I finished my reading，a stream of tears ran down my checks．It was until then I realized that I have overcome my inability to read．Thus，this was the very first book for me which I had read through and deeply immersed in real sense．

"Class，please line up!Let's welcome Marti，" said Ms.Baroni，our taekwondo（跆拳道） teacher.
I was excited that my best friend Marti would be taking lessons，too.
Everyone said， "Hi." Marti went red in the face.
"You don't need to be shy here，" I said to Marti in a quiet voice. "Everyone's really nice.
After warm﹣up exercises ，Ms.Baroni divided everyone into groups.Even though I was a level above Marti，Ms.Baroni told us to practice together. "Jenna，why don't you show Marti some basic kicks？"
I said sure and showed her a front kick.Marti copied it.Her kick was as high as my shoulder. "Great job，Marti!Let me show you something，" said Ms.Baroni.She then spent the next five minutes working with Marti.I leaned （倚靠） against the wall and watched Marti copy everything Ms.
Baroni did.The more Marti did，the more praise she received from Ms.Baroni.
I practiced my form half﹣heartedly. "What if Marti became better than me？What if Marti became Ms.Baroni's favorite student？" I couldn't help thinking.
"Watch your form!"
"Who is Ms.Baroni speaking to？" I wondered.I turned and saw Ms.Baroni looking directly at me.Nothing could have been worse.
At the end of class，I took my bag and hurried outside to find my mom.I had planned to wait and say goodbye to Marti，but now I wanted to be alone.For the next several weeks，Marti continued to impress our teacher with her skills.Honestly，I felt a little jealous （忌妒的） of her.And as Marti turned into a star student，I became less and less excited about taekwondo.
One day，as we walked down the hallway at school，Marti said， "Ms.Baroni thinks I'm ready to take the test for the next level."
I was surprised. "It's harder than you think.Two judges other than Ms.Baroni will give you points，" I said.
Marti looked disappointed （失望的）."You don't think I'm good enough to take the test yet？"

I felt my face get hot，and I explained， "I didn't say that."

【答案】I felt my face get hot，and I explained，"I didn't say that."I didn't like feeling jealous but I couldn't help it.I wasn't ready to take the test for my next level because I hadn't been practicing every day.A week later at the level testing，I saw Marti."You'll do fine，"I said，although I knew I'd feel better if Marti made a mistake.When Marti finished her test，everyone cheered.One of the judges asked Marti how often she practiced."About minutes every day，"Marti said."I don't practice that much！"I thought.No wonder Marti was getting so good.
I haven't been a very good friend，"I thought sadly.Late
