Giving Back
Fair Way
The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize. The other teams, disappointed， were on the bus heading home. And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards. A 9 had been recorded as a 7. They were not the state prize winner; Wobum High had won. “No one would have known，” said Wobum's instructor, Bob Doran. For Rota, it wasn't a difficult decision: “The prize wasn't ours to take.”
Coin Stars
“College students are lazy, but they also want to help，” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork. So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first－year students to keep in their rooms. Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40,000 for charities, which were decided upon by students.
Never Forgotten
A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth. But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school. Records showed the LeBermuth came from Belgium and studied in the school in the 1920s. When his family fell on hard times, he was offered free room and board. LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.

[2016·山东实验中学一诊]My family moved around a lot when I was growing up. In 2nd grade，I lived here in Washington D．C, where I made an amazing group of friends. I was upset when my parents told me we were moving again and I would have to leave all my best friends behind.
In 7th grade, we moved back to Washington D．C. And I could not have been more excited and I felt like I was finally home again. But things had changed. There were two new girls, who decided that they didn't like me, which meant no one else could, not even all my former best friends.
And then one day during school, I opened my locker, only to find a note lying on the floor. The note said：Die. Nobody likes you.
My heart started beating faster and I felt the blood rushing to my face. I had no idea what to do. The note wasn't signed and I had no idea who had written it, but I figured the new girls were behind it. I had to sit in class all day with my head down, wondering who else knew about this shame. I felt horrible and sure that nothing would ever be good again.
I decided that the perfect way to end all of this was with another note, left on the bathroom mirror at school.
It's sad for someone to bully (欺负) other classmates to make themselves feel better or look cool. Bullying others is a way to impress others. It's common, but that doesn't mean it's okay. Looking cool is not worth making others feel bad. Obviously I'm very happy now, but it doesn't mean I'll ever forget about that note or how it made me feel. And to those of you that are current victims of bullying—know that you are NOT alone. It will get better. I promise.

[2015·哈六中期中考试]Life is so much simpler these days. Everything revolves around a single button! With the introduction of washing machines, washing clothes became easier. The machines would dry clothes at least 70 to 80 percent and already half-dried clothes would be done in no time. Do you want to know how washing machines evolved?
The first washing machine was called the scrub (擦洗) board and was invented in the year 1797. In 1851, American man, James King, discovered and patented the first washing machine to use a drum.However, it was still hand-powered and did not work by itself.
Then, in 1858, William Blackstone of Indiana built a washing machine for his wife.This washing machine removed and washed away dirt from the clothes. This was the first official washing machine that could be used at home.
In 1908, the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago invented the Thor machine. This was the first washing machine that was electrically powered, and it had a galvanized (电镀的) metal tub and an electric motor. The earlier washing machine had a heavy, cast-iron mechanism mounted on the tub lid, making the machine heavy and difficult to move.
The introduction of a metal tub and reduction gears (减速齿轮) in later years replaced this heavy equipment and by 1920 the production of wooden tub washing machines completely stopped. But the new machines made a lot of noise because of their bulky metal tubs. A modification that was made was covering the tubs with white enameled (磁漆的) sheet metal to make the cleaning process easier.
By the early 1950s, American companies started producing washing machines with a spin dry feature， and this replaced the old wringer, which, while drying the clothes, would remove the buttons or cause accidents involving the hair and hands.In 1957, the first washing machine with five plus buttons was introduced. These controlled the wash temperature, rinse temperature and spin speed.
Slowly, more features were added, and today we have a variety of washing machines with different features and styles to help us out and make life simpler and easier.

[2016·福州八中质检二]I still read out loud to my son. He is in fifth grade and an avid reader. He plows through books and is currently devouring (津津有味地看)．The Hobbit which he calls “addicting”. But he still likes it when I read out loud to him before bed.
I've always read to him, I could probably recite Goodnight Moon by heart and I like to think it has helped to instill his love of reading in him.
But as he's gotten older, reading to him has changed. The books are longer, of course, and sometimes he corrects me if I misread a word in the dim light of his room. But what's really changed is what we both get out of it.
When I was in fifth grade, I had a wonderful teacher, Mr Hanks, who would read aloud to the class after lunch. I remember him reading Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and me hanging on every word. I could hardly wait for lunch to be over to find out what happened next to little Charlie Bucket.
Now I'm giving the same gift to my own son. Last week he brought me a copy of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol he found on the shelf and asked me to read it to him. One of the bonuses of reading to an older child is you can revisit a beloved book from your past or be exposed to a book you have never read yourself.
Such was the case with A Christmas Carol which I admit I had never read. So when I started reading I worried that it would be a tough go since the book uses expressions and the language Dickens used in the 1840's. I found myself having to define things such as braziers and balustrades. But in the wonderful descriptiveness of Dickens' prose, my son was especially taken with his description of Scrooge's house where he had often played hide-and-seek with other friends.
读书使人受益，睡前给孩子读书，让孩子成为了一个热爱阅读的人。
5．When it comes to reading out loud to the author's son, she feels________.

A．the author's son enjoys her reading to him
B．the author puts too much pressure on her son
C．the author's son dislikes reading on his own

答案：A 推理判断题。从文中第五段“he found on the shelf and asked me to read it to him.”可知A正确，其余选项文中未谈到相关内容。
7．Compared with Goodnight Moon, A Christmas Carol ________.
A．is much shorter
B．is harder to understand
C．is better known to the author
D．is more popular with younger children
答案：B 事实细节题。从文中最后一段“A Christmas Carol which I admit I had never read. So when I started...the language Dickens used in the 1840's.”可知比Goodnight Moon难理解。
8．The author writes the text in order to ________.
A.encourage children to read more books
B.recommend some excellent books to readers
C.persuade parents to read out loud to their children
D.share her experience of reading out loud to her son

3．G 本段中的关键词为“kind”和kindly相呼应。

One possible version：
Handwriting is one of the most important skills in students' daily study. Nowadays, however, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.
There are many reasons explaining the phenomenon. The main one of which is the growing popularity of computers. Many students may think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving it. What's more, the students are so occupied with their lessons and homework every day that they have no adequate time to practice it.
In my opinion, just as the saying goes, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.

[2016·山西太原质检]I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me. I was a new teacher, and I gave an honest account of the students' work. In Simon's case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn't read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you，” she said, surprising me beyond speech. Because of me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self－respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.
I sat, stunned, for about half an hour, wondering what had just happened. How did I make such a life－changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？ What I finally came to remember was one day, several months before, when some students were giving reports in the front of the class, Jeanne spoke quietly, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, “Speak up. Simon's the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince， and he can't hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on， Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, smiled more, and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I'm thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.

__2__ Like the table of contents of a book or magazine, the home page is the front door. Your site can have one or more pages, depending on how you design it.

◆Less is better. Most people don't like to read a lot of texts online. Break it into small pieces.

Since childhood, I have been dreaming to be a scientist to predict earthquakes. I can never forget miserable scenes whenever the earthquake strikes. The question “Can we do nothing but die？”often recalls to my mind. I choose not to believe that!
Three months later, I will be a college student. I am planning to take a major to gain professional knowledge. After graduation. I will choose a world－famous university, where I can exchange knowledge and skills with top experts. “Theory without experience is blind.” I will catch any chance to gain first－hand experience.
I am determined to devote my lifetime to the great cause and firmly believe that, through joint efforts, predicting earthquakes will be a piece of cake in front of us mankind.

[2016·惠州市二调]Every year, millions of Americans see their personal information leak into the wrong hands. Maybe there's spyware on their computer, or a service they use suffered a security reach, leaving customers at the risk of exposure. Or perhaps their password is easy to guess.
Don't fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here's how.
● Clean Your Computer and Smartphone
Before you put new security measures into place, make sure your devices are as spotless as possible. This means installing a good antivirus program and taking the time to clear out any spy — or malware that may have already infected your system. These days, it's also worth it to make sure your phone is safe from viruses. iPhones are less likely to be targeted by spyware, but Android users should download the Lookout app to scan their devices and ensure everything is as it should be.
● Secure Your WiFi
It's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information if they're able to share your connection — that's why you want to be careful when using public WiFi. Even though you put security measures into place a couple of years ago, it's a good idea to refresh your settings.
● Use passwords
What you've heard is true: Passwords should use a variety of special characters, numerals, letters, and cases when possible.
● Check the shopping security
Take care when shopping online. Always check the security symbols when using an online site for shopping. If the lock icon encryption (加密) is not there, do not give out credit details. Also, check that the site is legal — never go to a site from a random e-mail and start shopping online.
Keep a separate credit card just for online shopping. This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen and your other credit card for “in real life” can still be used uninfluenced.
Don't store information on any store's website. It may be convenient but it's also a possible loss to you if the site is hacked.
本文是一篇说明文，讲述的是在当前信息社会里，如何确保自己的信息不被泄露，以保证自己的生活及财产不受到影响。
1．This passage is mainly about________.
A．ways of avoiding identity theft
B．tips of freeing computers from viruses
C．measures to ensure network security
D．steps to keep track of passwords
答案：A 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Don't fear: You can easily set up proper defenses. Here's how.”可推知答案。
2．To put new security measures into place, we need to ________.
A．clear out everything in the system
B．make a random selection of network
C．get rid of potential spyware
D．refresh the infected system
答案：C 细节理解题。根据“Clean Your Computer and Smartphone”部分中第一句话“...make sure your devices are as spotless as possible.”可知。

A．the applications of antivirus programs
B．the practice of using public WiFi
C．the difficult access to passwords
D．the separate credit card for online shopping
答案：B 细节理解题。根据“Secure Your WiFi”内容中的“It's fairly easy for potential criminals to gain access to your information...”可知答案。
4．Which of the following is an improper way to shop online?
A．Adopting a unique password for every website.
B．Shopping online at reliable websites.
C．Keeping credit details safe by checking security symbols.
D．Monitoring credit card by storing information online.
答案：D 细节理解题。利用排除法：根据“Check the shopping security”中的内容逐一排查。A、B、C三项内容在该部分中有明确提示，故选D。
1．personal adj. 私人的；个人的
2．security n. 安全；可靠
3．infect vt. 感染
4．detail n. 细节；详情
5．convenient adj. 便利的；方便的
1．at the risk of 冒着……风险
2．make sure 确保
原文：This will make it easier to cancel if something bad does happen.(it作形式宾语)
译文：如果有一些糟糕的事情发生，这将会使得取消更加的容易。

[2016·河南开封摸底考试]Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table, enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1,000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening's entertainment， and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many Westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it's like a dinner party where my taste buds (味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
本文阐述的是为什么吃火锅在中国如此受欢迎，并对中西方的饮食作了简单的对比。
5．What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?
A．It has a history of over 1,000 years.
B．It is a fun social experience.
C．It serves people with many kinds of foods.
D．It keeps people very warm in winter.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段的各种反问以及第二段首句“火锅的设计不仅仅是用来取暖的，而且它也是一种social experience”可知。
6．We can conclude from the article that British people generally________.
A．enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants
B．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
C．don't like sharing food with others in restaurants
D．don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own shares, although...”可知答案选C。
7．How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?
A．More than four hours.
B．Over one hour.
C．About three hours.
D．All the evening.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours.”可知。
8．What is the author's attitude to hot pot?
A．Serious. B．Tired.
C．Humorous. D．Appreciative.
答案：D 推理判断题。综合作者对火锅的描述“a lot of fun, evening's entertainment, my appetite are equally satisfied...”可判断，答案是D。
1．traditional adj. 传统的 2.social adj. 社会的
3．entertainment n. 娱乐 4.similar adj. 相似的
5．appetite n. 胃口；食欲
1．put off 推迟 2.sit around 闲坐着；无所事事
原文：This allows people to have their meat done however they want.(have＋宾语＋宾补)
译文：这就允许人们想怎么做肉就怎么去做。

[2016·天水一中二诊]One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter (仲裁人). I read the examination problem：“Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer (气压计)．”The student had answered; “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”
The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read：“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula (公式) to calculate the height of the building.”
At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, “Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.’”
Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
本文讲述的是著名物理学家Bohr的一件轶事，说明了教育不应束缚学生思维的道理。
1．The student got a zero at the beginning because ________.
A．the teacher wasn't satisfied with him
B．his answer wasn't complete or correct
C．the teacher didn't fully understand his answer
D．his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics
答案：D 细节理解题。根据首段第二句“He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem.”可知。
2．We know from the passage that ________.
A．the student knew the expected answer
B．the administrator told Bohr the height
C．the author preferred Bohr's last answer
D．the teacher was a very stubborn person
答案：A 细节理解题。根据学生的几个对该物理问题的答案以及“I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did.”可知。
3．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．instructors can teach students how to think
B．arbiters can help students to get high scores
C．students should be given more freedom in thinking
D．teachers should make students use physical formulas
答案：C 推理判断题。根据第四段“...but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.”可推知。
4．What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?
A．Optimistic. B．Critical.
C．Approving. D．Neutral.
答案：B 推理判断题。解释同上题，表示Bohr对教育模式不满足，故用批判的态度对待他的学校。
1．claim vt./vi. 声称；要求 2.elect vt. 选举；挑选
3．competence n. 能力 4.height n. 高度
5．conventional adj. 传统的；常规的
1．attach...to... 附着于……；把……系到……上
2．fed up with 受够了……
原文：He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score.(while用法)

[2016·济南一中质检]Square dancing is a form of entertainment and physical exercise, which is a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms Wang.
The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believing the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States.
The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New York's Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other nations view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem.
Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises， respecting and tolerating each other.
Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other people's lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities during which people should mind their behavior.
As for US police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination”， which is a sensitive topic in US society.
If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and solve such problems without involving the court, perhaps immigrants would mix more.

6．the 考查冠词。此处为特指上文的“老人”，故填the。

One possible version：
The “one child” policy has been changed in our country and it is possible that some of us may have a brother or sister. Are you willing to have a younger sibling in your family?
In a schoolwide survey about this question, most of my fellow students say yes. They are very glad to have a companion at home and therefore they will no longer feel lonely when their parents are busy working. In addition, they can learn to share things with and offer help to other people. The few others who say no to the question are afraid that their parents will love them less if they have a younger brother or sister at home.
As for me, I will be very happy to have a younger brother or sister. For one thing, a small child is great fun to me and I like to play with him or her. For another, I will have a good friend to do things with, to talk with and to share my life with.
