On a cold January morning, a man sat at a subway station in Washington DC and started to play the violin. He played for about 45 minutes.
Three minutes went by, and a middleaged man stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to take care of his own things.
A minute later, the violinist received his first tip: a woman threw some money without stopping, and walked away.
Only a 3-year-old boy took the music seriously, going over, sitting down and soon losing himself in the wonderful performance. His mother wished to hurry along, but the kid kept looking at the violinist.
When he finished playing, no one noticed it. No one applauded (鼓掌).
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Joshua Bell played the same music with the same violin and the seats each cost 100 dollars at a theatre two days before.
Joshua Bell’s playing in the subway station was a social experiment. It asks questions: in a common environment at a wrong hour, do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to make a response (反应)? If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music. How many other things are we ignoring (忽视)?
1. What’s the man’s purpose of playing the violin at the subway station?
A. To make some money.
B. To see people’s response.
C. To practice his skills.
D. To teach a music lesson.
2. How many people stopped to listen to the music carefully?
A. One. B. Two.
C. Three. D. Four.
3. What does the writer suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Don’t be always in a hurry.
B. Stop to enjoy street performance.
C. Enjoy beautiful music at a theatre.
D. Don’t miss the wonderful moment in life.
4. [新考法·文章主题] What is the text mainly about?
A. A subway story.
B. A music survey.
C. A social experiment.
D. A talented musician.

My mom told me a story that was about the school picnic. At that time, schools didn’t have a field day. The biggest day for them was School Picnic Day.
School Picnic Day was usually held on the last day of school in June. On that day, kids played simple games. No one cared who won or who lost.
Before the school picnic, parents always packed picnic baskets for the kids. They filled them with a lot of good food.

Just then, the teacher said there was going to be one final race before lunch. It was the sack race (套袋赛跑), in which two people get inside a sack and hop as fast as they can to the finish line. The winner would receive a special lunch basket.
My mom wanted to enter this race. She waited until she saw Mary, the eldest sister of the poor family, stand up. She asked Mary if she could be her partner, and Mary agreed.
My mom went out of her way to make Mary win.

One day we went to pick up our grandson Mark at his school. It was a beautiful spring day so we went to the garden.
We noticed that Mark was sad. He said, “There is nothing special about me. Well, I am smaller than my elder brother and I am bigger than my younger brother.” I knew he felt that he, the middle son, was not getting the same attention.
We walked a little farther into the woods when Mark asked me if we could throw rocks into the stream (小溪) to see which one would go to the farthest. I agreed. Then Mark said,“I am going to throw the biggest rock, because I know it will go the farthest.” Mark picked up the largest rock he could find and threw it. Although it made a very big splash (溅), it didn’t go very far. Mark thought for a minute and said, “I am going to throw a little rock instead.” He picked up a little stone and threw it but it didn’t go very far because it was too little.
I thought this was a very good chance to teach him. I said, “Why don’t you pick up a medium - sized rock and see what happens?”
Mark picked up a medium-sized rock and threw it. Mark said,“Look, the middlesized rock went the farthest! ”
I smiled,“You see, Mark, you are like the middle-sized rock. In this situation the little rock was too light and the big rock was too heavy, but the middle -sized rock was just right.”
“So, I am special?”
“Yes, Mark, everyone and everything is special and has a special purpose, especially you.”

I dreamed of becoming an artist when I was a little girl. My mom knew this and she gave me some crayons. They quickly became my treasure.
Unfortunately, my little sister Emily also loved them. For three days, she would ask to play with my crayons. One day before she got up, I kept my crayons in my room. Then I went to school, thinking that she wouldn’t enter my room.

Later, I heard Emily’s footsteps coming up the stairs. I noticed a folded piece of paper being pushed under the door.
Once it reached my side of the door, I picked it up. As I read the words on the cover, my anger disappeared. Tears began to well up in my eyes. On the paper were the words “Best Sister”. Inside was a picture Emily had drawn of herself, which was a birthday gift for me.

Thyra Flowerdew was traveling alone in Switzerland. She made money by tuning (为……调音) pianos for others. Some people didn’t treat her well, seeing her as just a low-paid worker. Nobody knew that she was actually a famous pianist.
One day, she played the piano in front of a group of people. When she stopped playing, there was not a sound to be heard, but the magic of her music was still holding her listeners. At last they came forward to greet her.
“There is only one person who can play like that,” one man said.“She is Miss Thyra Flowerdew.” Thyra smiled.
“That is my name,” she said, and she went quietly out of the room.
The next morning, at an early hour, the bird of passage took her flight onward. The singer Oswald Everard saw her on the road, and he caught up with her. “You little wild bird! ” he said.“And so this was your great idea — to have your fun out of us all, and then play to us and make us feel I don’t know how, and then to go.”
“You said the company wanted to stir up,” she answered, “and I believe I have stirred them up.”
“And what do you suppose (料想) you have done for me?” he asked.
“I hope I have proved to you that the bellows -blower (拉风箱的人) and the organist (风琴师) are sometimes the same person,” she answered.

Levers (杠杆) are called simple machines. They increase the size of the force, so you can finish a job with less effort. Every time you open a door, or even bend (弯曲) your arm, you are using levers. Many of the objects we use every day depend on leverage (杠杆作用) to increase forces and make tasks easier. Here are a few of levers.
One of the simplest kinds of levers is the crowbar (撬棍). You use a crowbar to make every heavy object off the ground. The longer the crowbar is, the more the force is increased at the other end. However, you have to move the long end of the crowbar much farther than the short end.
When you use a fishing rod (鱼竿) to cast a line, the rod works as a lever. Your hand uses a powerful force near the base of the rod to create a smaller force at the tip of the rod. Although the force is weaker, the tip moves much farther and faster than your hands, increasing the speed.
A seesaw (跷跷板) is a lever. You use the force of your body weight to move the seesaw. If two men of equal (同等的) weight sit at equal distance from the fulcrum (支点), their weight will balance. But if one of them sits farther from the fulcrum, his weight is increased and the seesaw will tip over.
1. Why does a lever make tasks easier?
A. It increases the force.
B. It is a simple machine.
C. It makes objects lighter.
D. It makes people stronger.
2. Which one is the simplest lever according to the text?
A. The crowbar. B. The seesaw.
C. The fishing rod. D. The bike.
3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A shorter crowbar produces more force.
B. A longer crowbar produces more force.
C. Your hand will create a great force at the tip of the rod.
D. Only the body weight will change the balance of a seesaw.
4. [新考法·行文方式] How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By telling some stories.
B. By offering some numbers.
C. By providing some examples.
D. By answering some questions.

If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happier? Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music. Others may go for a walk or get some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress — playing with dogs.
Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The children were divided into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount of time (时长) doing exercise to relax. The last group did neither of these things.
During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). Cortisol is a stress hormone (激素). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big increase. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs.
According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way, which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer.
1. Why is the first paragraph written?
A. To lead in the topic.
B. To present the argument.
C. To shock the readers.
D. To show the latest research results.
2. What made the testing results of the three groups different?
A. The time. B. The age.
C. The activity. D. The place.
3. [新考法·跨数学] Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress (x) and cortisol levels (y)?
4. What does the underlined word“them” refer to?
A. Trainers. B. Dogs.
C. Scientists. D. Students.
5. What may the scientists study next?
A. More useful ways to lower stress.
B. New skills of keeping pets at home.
C. The amount of time to play with a dog.
D. The most suitable kind of dog to play with.

The subway train is running fast. A boy is reading a book carefully in his seat in the subway while many other people are playing their phones.
To encourage reading, a Chinese company started the book-sharing activity. They put over 10,000 books around the underground, in taxis and on planes in Beijing. Since the activity started, it has earned the support of many people, even some popular stars. The book-sharing activity, however, drew much more criticism than praise. For some books were left untouched, some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books — the underground was too crowded.
Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. “I think the best result is that people take selfies (自拍) when they pick up the books and write a post in WeChat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and put them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.
Some pointed out that some stars that supported the activity didn’t seem to be reading much, they just wanted to draw other’s attention. Isn’t it embarrassing (令人尴尬的) that the activity is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?
“The book-sharing activity is not at all a bad thing. In the past years, everybody has been busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said a famous Chinese writer,“however, just because Chinese people don’t often read, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading.”
1. [新考法·开篇方式] How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1?
A. Asking a question.
B. Telling a story.
C. Describing a setting.
D. Listing numbers.
2. What can we know about the book-sharing activity?
A. It was started by a Chinese writer.
B. Books are put on the trains.
C. Some books were left untouched by cleaners.
D. It drew much less praise than criticism.
3. [新考法·段落大意] The third paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. people prefer reading in WeChat
B. the book-sharing works little
C. Weibo users prefer reading books
D. most people like taking selfies
4. What can we learn from the words of the Chinese writer in the last paragraph?
A. Working is more important than reading.
B. The sharing books cause traffic accidents.
C. Chinese people are too busy to read books.
D. We shouldn’t give up encouraging reading.
5. What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show people the value of reading.
B. To ask people to return the books on time.

Suppose that you have some free time to kill. There is an enjoyable short video to watch and an interesting 1,000-word article to read. You can only choose one of the two. Which one will you pick?
Perhaps the video will be your choice. Over the past few years, watching videos online has become a part of many people’s daily lives. The number of people patiently reading long articles, meanwhile, has been cut down. Some people fear that video will one day replace (代替) text. But in my opinion, this isn’t going to happen.
Videos can in fact help us learn new information more quickly. However, can they help us fully learn about the ancient world? Many historical stories were recorded using only texts. Only through the reading of these texts can we truly and fully learn about what happened during the ancient world and the knowledge people had got.
Short videos are a type of“instant culture”. They come into and leave our minds like flying cars. Oftentimes, we can’t help but look for the second video immediately after we’ve finished watching one. But can we always remember and understand the contents (内容) of these videos? When we read a long article patiently, we often pay close attention to the contents. What’s more, texts allow us to use our imagination, while videos don’t.
In a word, video might change the way people learn about the world and the way they make themselves happy, but texts will never be replaced. Texts are like immortal (不朽的) stars which shine from the past to the future.
1. What is the writer trying to do in the passage?
A. To give advice. B. To ask for help.
C. To show ideas. D. To express feelings.
2. How can people fully learn about the ancient world according to the writer?
A. By reading texts.
B. By using imagination.
C. By watching videos. -242-
D. By talking with old people.
3. What may the underlined word“instant” mean?
A. Slow. B. Quick.
C. Small. D. Big.
4. [新考法·组合式选择] Why does the writer think people will choose to watch a short video?
① The 1,000 -word article is not inte - resting at all.
② Fewer people can patiently read long articles now.
③ Watching videos online takes up people’s daily lives.
④ Some people fear that video will one day replace text.
A. ①② B. ①③
C. ②③ D. ②④
5. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Texts will never be replaced.
B. Texts take long time to understand.
C. Videos are enjoyable and popular.
D. Videos are the best to kill free time.

Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). __▲__ In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
1. In which country does the color yellow mean death?
A. Britain. B. Egypt.
C. China. D. All eastern countries.
2. Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage? -243-
A. To introduce different colors in the world.
B. To choose a favorite color for readers.
C. To explain different cultures have different meanings to the same color.
D. To help advertisers decide the right colors in their advertisements.
3. [新考法·语篇逻辑] Which of the following can be put back into the blank“ __▲__ ”?
A. Red is an unusual color for a British bride to wear.
B. People may choose some other colors to wear.
C. They don’t understand the meaning of white.
D. They refuse to use other colors.

A subject that gives students a better understanding of themselves.
According to some surveys, many middle school students don’t have a dream. A person without a dream is like a ship sailing without compass (指南针).

Teaching students to understand themselves better can help them discover their strengths and weaknesses. Then, they will have more confidence and a clearer direction in life.

I would suggest adding sign language (手语). Not many people know how to communicate with those who have hearing problems. It would be very helpful if we could start to learn sign language when we are young. This would teach us to treat those who are less fortunate (幸运的) with respect.

I’d suggest adding a time -management class. Nowadays, many students are addicted to (上瘾) their phones. Some of them sleep late because they can’t balance their studies with gaming.
A time-management class will help students learn“first things first”. This will help make sure that they lead a healthy life.

The wind keeps blowing.
The door keeps opening.
Will you be with me, my dear Lucy,
When I look for candy
Down there in the dark, dark kitchen?
The wind keeps crying.
The door keeps shaking.
Will you be with me, my dear Lucy,
When I pick up my toy puppy
Out there on the high, high balcony?
Wish you could always be with me
And make them go away with your Do - Re-Me.
I remember last Halloween
They ran away when you started to sing,
“Dear Tommy, my little king,
Close your eyes and have a sweet dream.”
So please stay with me and sing
To stop them kicking the door, riding the wind,
And pulling me down to their house under the ground.
They’ll go away if you sing here for me,
In a voice that gets a black cat’s hair standing,
The strongest legs shaking, and the window glass breaking.
