Everyone likes to feel that he or she is special, but many of us grow up believing that we're not special at all. We want to be better at sports. We want nicer clothes or more money. Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, or the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, we don't believe we're good enough just as we are. In the movie, the Scarecrow wants a brain, the Tin Man wants a heart, and the Lion wants to be brave. In the end, each of them realises that he already has what he needs.
Most parents want us to be the best we can be. They sometimes try to encourage us to do better. They mean well, but the message is that we're not good enough. There are lots of people around. They may not be as smart as we are, but they are better at sports. Or they may not be as good-looking as we are, but they have more money. It is impossible for us to be better than everyone else all the time.
Like the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, we all want to be better people. Parents sometimes forget to tell us that we are special, and that we are good enough just as we are. Maybe no one told them that when they were growing up, or maybe they just forgot. Either way, it's up to us to remind them from time to time that each of us, in our own way, is special.
( ) 51. What does the writer want to tell us by using the movie as an example?
A. Success needs a smart brain.
B. People should put the heart into everything.
C. We all want to be better people.
D. Be brave and never give up.
( ) 52. How do most parents sometimes try to encourage us according to the passage?
A. By telling us we are special enough.
B. By trying to make us do better.
C. By comparing us with others who are worse.
D. By reminding us of our own advantage (优势).
( ) 53. What can we infer about the influence of parental attitude?
A. It always helps children become better.
B. It may make children doubt their own value.
C. It helps children achieve great success.
D. It always makes children feel special.
( ) 54. What does the writer believe?
A. Not everyone can be famous.
B. It's important to be like others.
C. We are all good enough in our own way.
D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
( ) 55. Who might write the passage?

Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. At PyeongChang Olympics, Wu made history.
On Feb. 22nd, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men's short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu's win was perfect, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
"I didn't give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start," he told the reporter after the match.
But China's short-track teams didn't do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women's 500 metres, 3,000-metre relay and men's 1,500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China's biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure (压力) on him. But he proved (证明) himself with his great performance.
Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost "nothing" compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their words made him quite upset. But Wu didn't want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn't return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. "I believe in myself," he told the reporter after his match at the Olympics.
( ) 56. When did Wu Dajing set a new world record?
A. On Feb. 23rd, 2018. B. On Feb. 22nd, 2018.
C. On Feb. 21st, 2018. D. On Feb. 20th, 2018.
( ) 57. In which men's short-track race did Wu Dajing win the gold medal at the PyeongChang Olympics?
A. 500-metre race. B. 1,000-metre race.
C. 1,500-metre race. D. 3,000-metre race.
( ) 58. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Wu Dajing joined the national team in 2012.
B. Wu set the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and made history.
C. Wu's coaches put great hope on him when he joined the national team.

A. Wu Dajing was better-looking than other skaters.
B. Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin were more hard-working on skating than Wu Dajing.
C. Wu kept on practicing skating all year round even in the holidays for 10 years.
D. Because of Wu's hard work, confidence and strong will, he finally succeeded.

B. Short-track 500-metre Race
C. PyeongChang Winter Olympics

五、阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据其内容完成后面各项任务。
Sam studies his face in the mirror—a huge birthmark on the left side of his face. Except for (除了) the birthmark, he is a normal healthy teenager like others.
There is the mask (面具). And there is the boy behind the mask.
When Sam was about to enter middle school, his sixth-grade teacher worried other students would make fun of him, so she did something helpful for him. She collected Sam's photographs, and asked students who knew him to write letters of introduction. Then she held a meeting at the middle school. She read the letters of his schoolmates.
"I knew Sam," one student wrote, "not very well until this year, though. I remember the kids, ignorant (无知的), hateful kids, would make fun of him. Think how terrible it was for him. I did nothing. I deeply regret I did nothing. Later, I saw a great improvement in other kids. I saw a new side of Sam, too. A side that was always there, a side that only needed a closer look. So, remember that a person's true beauty is not on the outside, but within his heart. Don't judge a person by his looks."
Sam's teacher reminded students that Sam was a normal boy. They didn't have to be his best friends, but they shouldn't be afraid of him, or make fun of him.
Life hasn't been perfect for Sam in middle school. But high school and beyond, he knows, will be different. No matter what people tell him, Sam knows that he is moving into a larger world with a face that scares others.
He checks the clock. It is almost time to go. 他深吸了一口气。He hopes he's picked the right clothes.
