阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In the course of our lives, someone with whom we got acquainted by accident often inspires us.
Early one morning, I opened the window to find that the sun was splashed everywhere. The sunshine warmed my face, making it comfortable. I started to play my beloved violin. My mind was quite focused, my spirit firm, and my mood entirely free of worry. When I was playing the climax to the piece, a sound from next door got my attention.
I was fascinated and had a special idea: “How wonderful if we played together！” I began to play pieces by Beethoven with my neighbor, one piece after another. We played together so well that I was curious about how she or he looked. However, I couldn't figure out why the violinist next door never responded when I knocked on the door. I was extremely disappointed.
A year later, I took part in a violin competition. At the event, I made a new friend, whose name was Rita. This girl, who was my age, was deaf and dumb, but she had played the violin for eight years! I saw Rita carefully walk onto the stage. She put the violin between her neck and shoulder and began to perform. “The melody is so familiar！” I said to myself. It was unbelievable that a girl who was deaf and dumb could play such marvelous music. The audience warmly applauded her. What was even harder to believe was that the girl was my neighbor. It was fate that we should meet and become friends.
Rita's story made me realize that life is not always sunny or poetic; sometimes there are violent storms and setbacks. However, no matter what you suffer, believe in yourself and strive. You can succeed.
1．Why was there no response every time the author knocked on his neighbor's door?
A．His neighbor had moved away.
B．His neighbor meant to decline him.
C．His neighbor was hearing?challenged.
D．His neighbor was too excited to respond.
2．What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph?
A．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
B．Happiness exists in acceptance.
C．A fall in the pit, a gain in your wit.
D．Smile to life, and you'll get a smile back.
3．The author wrote this text mainly to________.
A．introduce his neighbor Rita
B．value his friendship with Rita
C．speak highly of Rita's violin skills
D．show the inspiration he got from Rita
B
It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child's level of confidence.There are some other important ways we shape our kids — particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words.For example, we can say to a child “Don't run into traffic！” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren't scaring themselves with what not to do.
Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works.What we think, we automatically rehearse.For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn't be able to do it.When a child is told “Don't fall off the tree，” he will think of two things：“don't” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind.A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off.So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things.Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words.So parents should make their commands positive.“Sam, hold on firmly to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don't you dare to fall out of the boat？” or “How do you think I'll feel if you drown？” The changes are small but the difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.
4．Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.
A．do things carefully
B．learn in different situations
C．improve their imagination
D．build up their confidence
5．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．One can't help imagining what is heard.
B．A child will act on what is instructed.
C．A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D．One won't think of a blue monkey when given money.
6．Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A．Fasten your seat belt.
B．Don't play by the lake.
C．How do you think I'll feel if you get hurt?
D．Don't you dare to walk through the red light?
7．The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A．praise makes kids confident
B．right instructions keep kids safe
C．positive instructions guide kids
D．clear commands make kids different
C
On Wednesday, nearly 300 kids will take part in the National Spelling Bee.Fewer will make it to the following day's semi?finals, where one mistake means elimination (淘汰)．I'd bet that many of them will be silently praying — not on the first word.I knew it because I was there 17 years ago.
I was a 14?year?old girl then.My mother and I had flown from Kentucky to Washington, but the capital was no strange to her.My older sister had already competed at the national level.
When my sister was 14 and I was 12, we trained together.We began with the Suggested List given out at school — hundreds of words printed on a poster that could be folded up like a map.When the words along the creases (褶痕) began to disappear, we bought additional spelling lists.
Sometimes my mother tested us, reading words most English teachers wouldn't know how to pronounce, let alone my Indian?born mother.When she pointed out the misspelled words, I blamed her accent for my errors!
When it was my turn, I approached the microphone and waited for my first word.
The announcer was somewhere to my left, a man who pronounced clearly.“Barbican，” he said.
It seemed that my competitors were secretly complaining about the relative ease of my word.Would they laugh at me if I couldn't spell it? Would my mother be disappointed in me? That last syllable could go two ways: C?A?N or C?O?N.Which one was right? Finally I decided on C?O?N.
Of course, I was eliminated and guided to the Comfort Room, where parents couldn't enter.Inside, recent losers were sitting around a table abundant with junk food.
We casually mentioned the words that defeated us, like a special ceremony to welcome each new arrival.Then we changed the subject if we'd already moved on from missed words and lost opportunities.
Eventually, I went out and saw my mother.
“Well，” she said, “I_guess_you_won't_be_doing_this_again.” Yes, next year I would be 15 and not allowed to take part in the competition.
8．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The difficulty of the first word.
B．The fierce competition.
C．The nervousness of the kids.
D．The strict rules.
9．The author failed probably because ________.
A．she was unable to relax
B．the announcer had an accent
C．her competitors disturbed her
D．she didn't practise hard enough
10．What did the author do in the Comfort Room?
A．She met her mother.
B．She comforted new arrivals.
C．She talked with other losers.
D．She watched the competition.
11．Why did the author's mother say the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．She was disappointed in the author.
B．The author would be beyond the age limit.
C．She didn't want the author to suffer again.
D．The author had no interest in the competition.
D
If you are like most English learners, you may be familiar with this: You think you understand a topic.Yet when asked to use what you have learned, you are not able to remember the information.Not being able to retrieve (数据检索) new ideas could happen on a test or even in a conversation.
Sarah Lynn, an educational consultant and teacher, thinks English learners can improve their ability to remember and use new words by testing themselves.She adds that self?testing improves retrieval — the ability to use and remember new words.
Lynn is not the only expert who recommends self?testing.A paper in Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition says one benefit of testing practice is that it improves retrieval.Retrieving information once makes retrieving that information easier in the future.In addition, the paper says, when students test themselves as part of studying, they learn what they do not know.When students know what they do not understand, they can pay attention to overcoming their weaknesses.Lynn recommends that learners test themselves by getting away from what they are studying.Then, they should test themselves by thinking about what they have learned.She recommends that learners make themselves write or speak something.Lynn suggests reading something or watching a video on the topic, then getting rid of the reading or video material and summarizing it.This will allow learners to test what they know.
Next time you are studying English, try to test yourself.But do not just assume that you can read something once or twice and fully understand it.Even if you highlight important points or take notes in a class, you probably do not fully understand what you learned.After all, Olympic athletes cannot learn how to swim or run just from reading a book.They have to practice swimming or running every day for years.They often compete in races to test their skills.
12．What's the common situation faced by English learners?
A．They fail to come up with new ideas.
B．They are not familiar with a certain topic.
C．They don't learn as well as they think.
D．They don't know how to improve their test?taking skills.
13．Which is the advice given by Lynn about self?testing?
A．Recall what's learned with the book closed.
B．Remember what's learned by repetitive reciting.
C．Question your teachers on what you doubt bravely.
D．Challenge yourself to learn from videos.
14．Why are Olympic athletes mentioned?
A．To show how to be successful athletes.
B．To make people confident of learning.
C．To warn English learners not to be proud.
D．To stress the significance of practice.
15．What's the best title for the passage?
A．Learning actually takes effort most.
B．Improve English by self?testing.
C．Memorize more new words.
D．What is self?testing?

Dear Sir/Madam，
I am very glad to hear that your school will hold the English summer camp which includes many courses, such as cooking, swimming, giving first aid, playing football/basketball and so on.
I want to attend the course on giving first aid because first aid is of great importance to us. If a person gets injured, he needs medical care before a doctor can be called in. At that time, every second counts. After graduation, I plan to devote my life to medical research. Hopefully, the course will help me to deal with common injuries.
I would appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
Yours，
Li Hua
