Julie's
Chance(机会)
Julie
was
a
walking
encyclopedia(百科全书)
on
baseball.
She
loved
the
sport
and
read
everything
about
it.
But
Julie
was
worried.
Julie
wasn't
a
very
good
player.
She
only
played__13__
at
family
gatherings（聚会).That's
her
only
chance
to
play

she__14__that
with
a
real
coach(教练）she
could
really
improve.
Her
dream
was
to
play
on
the
girl's
baseball
team__15__
her
ideas
with
others,
her
whole
life
at
school.
She
thought
that
if
she
didn't
would
always
be
the
same.
So
she
went
to
see
Coach
Annie
Miller
two
days
before
the
tryouts(选拔赛).
Last
year
she
didn't
join
the
team.
The
problem
was
she
didn't
__16__
much.
She
was
still
not
a
very
good
player.
Julie
walked
slowly
toward
the
coach'
office.
She
saw
Coach
Miller
looking
over
some
papers.
She
looked
up,
frowning(皱眉),
when
Julie
knocked
on
the
open
door.
Julie
walked
__17__
to
the
desk
and
said
that
she
loved
baseball
and
knew
that
with
a
lot
of
practice
and
effort(努力)
she
could
improve.
If
Coach
Miller
would
give
her
a
chance，she
knew
she
could
contribute
(做出贡献)
to
the__18__.
Coach
Miller
already
knew
Julie
was
not
a
naturally
gifted
__19__
,
but
she
saw
fire
in
Julie's
heart,
and
she
knew
that
natural
ability
alone
does
not
make
a
player
__20__
,
She
did
give
Julie
a
chance,
and
by
the
end
of
the
season
Julie
won
two

A
Card
from
A
Neighbor
In
early
December,
Jack
and
his
family
moved
to
Apple
Street.
Jack
seldom
saw
his
neighbor
Mrs.
White.
Mrs.
White's
husband
passed
away
last
summer,
and
her
daughter
and
grandchildren
lived
far
away.
Jack
wanted
Mrs.
White
to
be
happy
and
thought
that
a
New
Year
card
might
help.
Jack
got
out
his
paper
and
his
special
sparkle
crayons.
He
wrote:
Happy
New
Year!
From
your
neighbor,
Jack
He
put
the
card
in
a
blue
envelope
(信封)
and
mailed
(邮寄)
it
to
Mrs.
White.
A
couple
of
days
later,
Jack
heard
a
car
beep
and
looked
out
the
front
window.
A
taxi
had
stopped
in
front
of
Mrs.
White's
house.
Mrs.
White
handed
her
suitcase
(手提箱)
to
the
taxi
driver.
Before
leaving,
Mrs.
White
took
a
blue
envelope
from
her
mailbox
and
opened
it.
After
she
read
it,
Mrs.
White
looked
toward
Jack's
house.
She
waved
(挥手),
and
then
smiled.
Jack
smiled
and
waved,
too.
Mrs.
White
went
to
visit
her
grandchildren
and
she
returned
in
March.
Two
days
later,
she
invited
Jack
and
his
parents
over
for
dinner.
They
had
a
great
time.
In
May,
Mrs.
White
came
to
Jack's
birthday
party
along
with
other
neighbors.
In
snowy
December,
Mrs.
White
left
again.
She
took
many
gifts
for
her
grandchildren.
A
couple
of
days
later,
a
card
arrived
in
the
mail
for
Jack.
It
read:
Happy
New
Year!
From

C
Schools
in
the
Future
Have
you
ever
thought
about
what
schools
will
be
like
in
the
future?
Many
people
think
that
students
will
study
most
regular(通常的)
classes
like
math,
science,
and
history
online.
Students
will
probably
learn
these
subjects
anywhere
using
a
computer.
What
will
happen
if
students
have
problems
with
a
subject?
They
can
connect
with
a
teacher
through
live
video
conferencing(
会议).
Teachers
from
learning
centers
will
give
students
help
wherever
they
live.
It
will
be
possible
for
students
to
use
mobile
phones
to
talk
with
experts(专家)
in
areas
of
different
subjects
online.
Students
will
still
take
classes
in
a
school,
too.
Schools
will
become
places
for
learning
social
skills.
Teachers
will
guide
students
in
learning
how
to
work
together
and
get
along
with
each
other.
They
will
help
students
with
group
projects
both
in
and
out
of
the
classroom.
Volunteer
work
at
local
businesses
will
teach
students
important
life
skills
about
the
world
they
live
in.
This
will
help
students
become
an
important
part
of
their
communities.
The
challenges(挑战)
in
the
local
community
will
be
solved
by
the
global(全球的)
community.
The
change
of
school
will
help
increase
the
speed
of
problem-sloving
in
the
community.
Some
experts
say
it
will
take
five
years
for
changes
to
begin
in
schools.
Some
say
it
will
take
longer.
Most
people
agree
that
technology
will
change
education
28.
In
the
future,
when
students
have
problems
with
a
subject,
they
will__________.
A.
write
a
letter
about
the
problems
to
some
experts
B.
ask
their
parents
to
solve
the
problems
C.
go
to
school
and
ask
their
teachers
for
help
D.
communicate
with
their
teachers
online
29.
Paragraph
3
mainly
tells
us__________.
A.
why
students
will
learn
social
skills
in
school
B.
what
students
will
learn
in
schools
in
the
future
C.
why
social
skills
will
be
more
important
for
students
D.
how
teachers
will
work
together
to
help
students
30.
What
does
the
writer
probably
agree?
A.
Changes
of
schools
should
start
more
quickly.
B.
Students
won't
have
to
go
to
school
in
the
future.
C.
Students
can
learn
life
skills
through
volunteer
work.
D.
It
will
be
more
difficult

problems
of
the
local
community.

Jordan
Mittler
is
a
high
school
student
from
New
York
City.
He
set
up
Mittler
Senior
Technology.
This
company
helps
elderly
people
adapt(适应)
to
the
world
of
technology.
Six
years
ago,
Jordan
gave
his
grandparents
iPhones
as
gifts.
He
never
thought
that
his
grandparents
would
have
no
idea
how
to
use
an
iPhone.
They
did
not
know
many
of
the
basic
functions(功
能).
These
functions
come
so
easily
to
Jordan's
generation,
such
as
texting,
photographing
and
so
on.
Jordan
realized
he
needed
to
help
this
older
generation.
They
missed
the
technology
boom(激增)
and
were
scared
of
trying
to
understand
our
new
connected
world.
They
were
often
out
of
touch
because
they
couldn't
communicate
like
everyone
else.
Jordan
decided
to
test
his
idea
at
the
local
nursing
home.
He
was
only
eleven
years
old
at
the
time.
He
asked
over
a
microphone(麦克风)
:“Who
would
like
free
technology
help?”He
only
had
one
student.
Her
name
was
Bonnie
Fisher,
and
he
sat
with
her
one-on-one
for
more
than
a
year.
He
taught
her
technology
lessons.
Bonnie
lit
up
when
she
knew
how
to
connect
with
her
sister
and
friends
over
email,
Then
Jordan
got
more
support.
He
used
his
school's
computer
room
to
hold
his
weekly
classes.
So
many
elderly
people
showed
interest
that
he
had
to
make
a
waitlist.
He
taught
them
everything
from
texting,
how
to
surf
the
Internet
and
how
to
shop
online.
He
even
invited
some
of
his
friends
to
join
him
as
teaching
assistants
(助手).
Technology
has
been
more
and
more
important
to
our
daily
lives.
It
is
really
nice
of
Jordan
to
help
so
many
elderly
people.
31.
The
words
“lit
up”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean__________.
A.
began
to
worry
B.
sat
quietly
C.
became
excited
D.
listened
carefully
32.
What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A.
Jordan's
grandparents
asked
Jordan
to
teach
elderly
people
technology.
B.
Jordan
was
surprised
to
know
his
grandparents
couldn't
use
iPhones.
C.
Jordan's
fiends
taught
Jordan
how
to
give
elderly
people
technology
lessons.
D.
Jordan's
lessons
were
popular
with
the
elderly
people
at
the
local
nursing
home.
33.
The
writer
wants
to
tell
us___________.
A.
elderly
people
should
learn
new
technology
by
themselves
B.
teenagers
are
too
busy
to
teach
elderly
people
technology
skills
C.
teenagers
should
know
the
importance
of
technology
lessons
D.
teenagers
should
help
elderly
people
with
technology
use
四、阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每题2分)
Do
animals
communicate
with
each
other?
Yes,
in
different
ways.
Here
are
just
a
few
of
them.
Some
animals
use
songs
to
communicate.
If
a
songbird
sees
danger,
it
will
sing
a
special
"look
out”
song
to
warn
other
birds.
Just
like
our
language,
bird
songs
have
their
dialects(方言).
The
song
of
the
same
kind
of
bird
can
be
different
in
different
countries.
One
kind
of
whale,
the
humpback
whale,
also
uses
songs
to
communicate.
Each
whale
has
a
different
song
so
they
can
recognize
each
other.
These
songs
can
last
from
six
to
thirty-five
minutes
and
are
very
loud.
In
the
old
days,
sailors
thought
they
heard
ghosts(鬼魂)
on
their
ships,
but
it
was
really
the
songs
of
the
whales.
Some
animals
make
songs,
but
we
cannot
hear
them.
Bats
make
sounds.
They
are
too
high
for
us
to
hear.
They
also
heat
the
echoes(回响)
of
these
sounds.
This
is
a
system
of
sonar(声呐).
It
helps
bats
find
their
way
and
catch
food
in
complete
darkness.，
Some
insects
use
other
ways
to
communicate.
If
a
honey
bee(蜜蜂)
finds
food,
it
will
return
to
the
hive(蜂巢)
and
do
a
dance.
The
dance
tells
the
other
bees
exactly
how
far
and
which
direction
to
go.
If
the
dance
is
quick,
the
food
is
near.
If
the
dance
is
slow,
the
food
is
far.
If
there's
no
dance,
there's
no
food!
34.
What
will
a
songbird
do
if
it
sees
danger?
35.
How
long
can
the
songs
of
whales
last?
36.
Can
people
hear
the
sounds
of
bats?
37.
What
will
a
honey
bee
do
if
it
finds
food?
38.
What
communication
ways
of
animals
does
the
passage
talk
about?
