Kay is the most confident girl that I have ever met. Although she looks tough, she is really kind. It may surprise some people to find out Kay and I are best friends, because we have different personalities.

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could. Suddenly, I wanted to change.
I showed the list to Dad. He didn't take it. "That's just for you", he said, "You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen something said about you is true, you'll find it will be helpful to you. Many people think they know your duty.

As a way of passing on knowledge, ideas and creativity, books have played an important part in human civilization (文明) .
In ancient times, there were no books, and people passed on their knowledge by telling stories. The earliest forms of the book were made in Egypt around 3,000 BC. These early scrolls (卷轴), made from animal skins, were used to record stories, laws and history. Later, people learned how to write and make paper. They wrote each word by hand. It took a long time to write just one book, making them rare and expensive.
In the 15th century, the invention of the printing press appeared and changed the book-making business and even the world. This made it possible to print books quickly. Even common people could buy and read books.
In the 20th century, computers and the Internet changed the world again. A new kind of book appeared: the electronic book (e-book). E-books have opened up a new world for books. They are quickly changing people’s reading habits. It is easier for people to buy and sell books online and carry the whole library in their pockets. Therefore, information travels faster and farther.
In a word, the history of the book shows the development of human civilization. From ancient scrolls to e-books, the book has changed to meet the needs of humans. In the future, it is possible that books will continue to change. Now, people have many ways to read books. But, more importantly, people should keep on reading!
13. Before books appeared, how did people pass on their knowledge?
A. By dancing. B. By singing.
C. Through storytelling. D. Through scrolls.
14. Why were books expensive in the early days of paper invention?
A. Because books were made from expensive animal skins.
B. Because writing one book by hand needed a lot of time.

A. People can read books conveniently anytime for their small sizes.
B. E-books have made it difficult to buy and sell paper books online.
C. People’s reading habits have become faster but less enjoyable.
D. E-books cannot provide the same reading experience as paper books.
16. What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Books show the development of human civilization.
B. People will have many different ways to read books.

第二节:阅读短文,从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余选项。
Money may not buy happiness, but it helps. Many teenagers want to learn how to manage money before going out into the world. 17 This idea is raised by Dr. Mara Harvey, a money expert. The following are some of her tips.
Learn to make money. Ask parents or neighbors if you can do chores to make pocket money. These could include washing a car or taking the dog for a walk. Agree on the value of different jobs before you start. In this way, you can also improve your communication skills, which will help when you have a grown-up job, too.
Help your money grow. Money can’t grow if it’s sitting inside a piggy bank. Put your money in the bank and you can get interest (利息). 18 One day you may feel surprised at how much money you have.
Make a plan. If you have a big event, such as a holiday coming up, it might mean you will need to spend more of your pocket money. Try making a plan for spending and saving. 19 Then it will help you take control of your money.
20 Figure out how much you can reasonably spend each month. Spend your money on what you truly need. Then try to cut down on spending. For example, rather than eating out, you can choose to cook at home.
A. Spend your money wisely.
B. Be smart with your money.
C. Set a goal of saving money.
D. Save your money in the long run.
E. Write down how much money you have and what you are spending.

Money may not buy happiness, but it helps. Many teenagers want to learn how to manage money before going out into the world. 17 This idea is raised by Dr. Mara Harvey, a money expert. The following are some of her tips.
Learn to make money. Ask parents or neighbors if you can do chores to make pocket money. These could include washing a car or taking the dog for a walk. Agree on the value of different jobs before you start. In this way, you can also improve your communication skills, which will help when you have a grown-up job, too.
Help your money grow. Money can’t grow if it’s sitting inside a piggy bank. Put your money in the bank and you can get interest (利息). 18 One day you may feel surprised at how much money you have.
Make a plan. If you have a big event, such as a holiday coming up, it might mean you will need to spend more of your pocket money. Try making a plan for spending and saving. 19 Then it will help you take control of your money.
20 Figure out how much you can reasonably spend each month. Spend your money on what you truly need. Then try to cut down on spending. For example, rather than eating out, you can choose to cook at home.
A. Spend your money wisely.
B. Be smart with your money.
C. Set a goal of saving money.
D. Save your money in the long run.
E. Write down how much money you have and what you are spending.
