A
Everyone has unique needs and preferences, and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age. Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)
Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)
Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However, some people might need more or less sleep than what is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.
Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without such particular mutation require about 8 hours, on average.
Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren’t sleeping well or are extremely tired and don’t know why, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
1. What is the main reason for the amount of sleep we need per night?
A. Sleep quality. B. Genetics. C. Our eating habits. D. Our age.
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. All school children need to sleep for 9 to 11 hours.
B. Any kind of genetic mutation can lead to a 6-hour sleep pattern.
C. You should turn to your healthcare provider as long as you feel tired.
D. Poor sleep quality may lead to tiredness though you’ve got enough sleep.
3. Where does this passage most probably come from?
A. A health magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A fashion website. D. A sports newspaper.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要说明了不同年龄段所需要的睡眠时间以及其他影响睡眠的因素。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age.(然而,你每晚需要的睡眠时间主要取决于你的年龄)”可知,我们每晚需要多少睡眠的主要原因是我们的年龄。故选D。

B
Arsh believes in the importance of making the world a more beautiful place. The talented boy not only paints but also sells his artwork and donates the money.
It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family. Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise.
His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far.
Arsh’s artwork is often colorful and cheery, as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist. Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions (演绎) of flowers and animals. They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price. Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800.
Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana’s belief that young people have the power to change their country. And the young artist has advice for other kids looking to make a difference. “Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.”
4. What made Arsh interested in painting?
A. A birthday present from his parents. B. His parents’ deep love for painting.
C. The encouragement of others around him. D. His fascination with the beauty of nature.
5. Why did Arsh decide to sell his artwork?
A. To pay for his painting materials. B. To get more attention from others.
C. To attract children’s interest in art. D. To help those people who are in need.
6. What can we learn about Arsh from the text?
A. His fundraising plan is going well.
B. He will turn his attention to his studies.
C. All his paintings sell at high prices now.
D. He is going to teach other children to paint for free.
7. What does Arsh want to say in the last paragraph?
A. Every child has a unique talent.
B. Everyone has the ability to help others.
C. Talent plays an important role in learning art.
D. Helping others is the responsibility of young artists.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Arsh喜欢画画,把自己的作品卖掉捐给慈善机构,并获得了英国慈善机构颁发的荣誉。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. (这一切都始于他的父母在他8岁生日时给他买了一套绘画工具。一旦他有了自己的材料,他就开始花大量的空闲时间在画布上上色)”可知,父母送给Arsh的一个生日礼物使他对画画感兴趣。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. (不久之后,他的灵光一现:他将卖掉自己的艺术品,把钱捐给慈善机构)”可知,Arsh决定卖掉自己的画作是为了帮助有需要的人。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far. (他的第一个计划是为St. Jude儿童研究医院筹集1000美元,他通过在社交媒体和当地艺术展上出售自己的画作,在大约9个月的时间里完成了这个目标。从那以后,他扩大了自己的影响范围,帮助其他组织,包括儿童癌症非营利组Compass to Car和the Make-A-Wish 基金会。到目前为止,他已经为慈善机构筹集了超过16000美元)”可推知,Arsh的筹资计划进展顺利。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“‘Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,’ he says, ‘and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.’ (‘帮助别人不一定是金钱或其他东西。它可以是你的时间,你的技能,你的才能,’他说,‘总的来说,只是善待别人,让他们的一天更美好。’)”可知,Arsh说帮助别人可以是任何东西,只是善待别人,就可以让他人的一天更美好。由此推知,他的意思是每个人都有帮助别人的能力。故选B。
C
China has set new rules limiting the amount of time children can spend playing online games. The rules limit children to just three hours of online game playing a week. That is one hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks.
Li Zhanguo has two children aged 4 and 8. Even though they do not have smartphones, they enjoy playing online games. Like many other parents. Li is happy with new government rules. But experts say it is unclear if such policies can help prevent addiction to online games. Children might just get addicted to social media instead. In the end, experts say, parents should be the ones to set limits and support good practice.
There has been a growing concern in China about gaming addiction among children. Government reports in 2018 found that about one in ten Chinese children were addicted to the Internet. The new rules are part of an effort to prevent young people from spending too much time on unhealthy entertainment. That includes what officials call the “irrational fan culture”
Under the new rules the responsibility for making sure children play only three hours a day falls largely on Chinese gaming companies like Net Ease and Ten cent. Companies have set up real-name registration systems to prevent young users from going past game time limits. They have used facial recognition technology to check their identities. And they have also set up a program that permits people to report what is against the law. It is unclear what punishments gaming companies may face if they do not carry out the policies. And even if such policies are performed, it is also unclear whether they can prevent online addiction.
A specialist treating Internet addiction expects about 20 percent of children will find ways to break the rules by borrowing accounts of their older relatives and find a way around facial recognition. In his opinion, short-video alps such as Douyin and Kuaishou are also very popular in China. They are not under the same restrictions as games.
8. When can children play games according to the new rules?
A. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. On Friday. B. Between 8 p. m. and 9 p.m. On Tuesday.
C Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. On Saturday. D. Between 10 p. m. and 11 p.m. On Thursday.
9. According to experts, _________
A. the new rules can stop children’s addiction to social media
B. companies are more responsible for kids ‘ obeying the rules
C. the new rules will help prevent children playing online games
D. parents play a greater part in limiting the time of online games
10. What will children probably do to battle with the new rules?
A. Design an advanced program. B. Use facial recognition systems.
C. Set up real-name registration systems. D. Borrow accounts of their older relatives.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Rules Limiting Short-video apps B. Rules Limiting Video Game Time
C. Rules Banning Irrational Fan Culture D. Rules Breaking Addiction to Social Media
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了中国出台新规,限制儿童玩网络游戏的时间,介绍了制定这一新规的原因以及限制孩子使用手机时长仍然面临的问题。

细节理解题。根据第一段中“The rules limit children to just three hours of online game playing a week. That is one hour between 8 p. m. and 9 p. m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks. (规则规定孩子们每周只能玩三个小时的网络游戏。即多数星期的周五、周六和周日晚上8点到9点之间的一个小时。)”可知,根据新规定,孩子们星期五晚上8点到9点之间可以玩游戏。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the end, experts say, parents should be the ones to set limits and support good practice. (最后,专家说,父母应该是设定限制和支持良好做法的人。)”可知,据专家介绍,父母在限制孩子玩网络游戏的时间上起着很大的作用。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A specialist treating Internet addiction expects about 20 percent of children will find ways to break the rules by borrowing accounts of their older relatives and find a way around facial recognition. (一位治疗网瘾的专家预计,大约20%的孩子会想办法通过借用年长亲戚的账户来打破规则,并找到绕过面部识别的方法。)”可知,孩子们可能会借他们年长亲戚的账户来对抗新规定。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“China has set new rules limiting the amount of time children can play online games. The rules limit children to just three hours of online game playing a week. That is one hour between 8 p. m. and 9 p. m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks. (中国出台新规,限制儿童玩网络游戏的时间。规则规定孩子们每周只能玩三个小时的网络游戏。即多数星期的周五、周六和周日晚上8点到9点之间的一个小时。)”并结合文章主要说明了中国出台新规,限制儿童玩网络游戏的时间,介绍了制定这一新规的原因以及限制孩子使用手机时长仍然面临的问题可知,B选项“限制电子游戏时间的规定”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
Most adults find it hard to recall (记起) events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade (消失).
A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline (衰退) rapidly.
Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.
The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven, children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events that they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.
The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories that the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information that eight-to-nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.
12. What does the new study tell us?
A. Childhood memories fall quickly over seven.
B. Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.
C. Childhood memories can fade easily.
D. Some adults cannot recall past events.
13. What does the underlined word “persist” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. change. B. remain.
C. appear. D. return.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.
B. Children can think like adults when they get older.
C. Children often forget things because they have no idea of time and place.
D. Children under and above seven have different ways of forming memories.
15. In the second session, nine-year-old children
A. refused to discuss the same events
B. only remembered a small part of their past events
C. could recall 72 percent of their past events
D. remembered all their family outings and trips
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了记忆消失的一些知识。大多数三岁的孩子都能回忆起一年前发生在他们身上的许多事情,这些记忆在五岁和六岁时依然存在,但到七岁以上时,这些记忆会迅速衰退。在七岁之前,孩子们在记忆中没有时间感和位置感。在5到7岁之间,孩子们能回忆起的记忆量保持在63%到72%之间。然而,8至9岁儿童能够回忆起的信息量下降到35%和36%。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline (衰退) rapidly.”(一项新的研究发现,大多数三岁的孩子都能回忆起一年前发生在他们身上的许多事情,这些记忆在他们五岁和六岁时仍然存在,但当他们超过七岁时,这些记忆迅速衰退。)可知新研究告诉了我们童年时的记忆随年龄而衰退。 故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文“but by the time they are over seven,these memories decline (衰退) rapidly.”(到七岁以上时,这些记忆会迅速衰退。)可知这些记忆在五岁和六岁时依然存在,故划线单词persist的意思是:存在,保留。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“They say that before the age of seven children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories.”(他们说在七岁之前,孩子们在记忆中没有时间感和位置感。)可知从第四段中我们推断出孩子们经常忘记事情,因为他们没有时间感和位置感,故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“ However,the amount of information eight-to nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.(然而,8至9岁儿童能够回忆起的信息量下降到35%和36%。)可知在第二阶段,九岁的孩子只记得他们过去的一小部分事情。故选B。

47. 阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A Christmas Tree for Mrs. Mueller
The black-and-white photograph of Mrs. Mueller that I took pictured her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs. Mueller was our next—door neighbor when my sister and I were growing up.
We got to know her after her husband died. She didn’t have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and Laurel and I considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered (思考) what to make for Mrs. Mueller. She would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared
I was in Miss O’Keefe’s sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰品) we’d made in art class. It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation.
Miss O’Keefe said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We’d each write our name on a piece of paper and put it through the slot (窄缝) in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she’d draw a name from the box, and that student could take home the tree.
As I put the folded piece of paper with my name “Holly Wheeler” into the box, I was beside myself with excitement, hoping I could be the lucky dog. My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because our purpose was good: We wanted to make Mrs. Mueller happy.
注意:1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The day before vacation finally arrived.

Paragraph 2:
I raced to my mother’s car excitedly when school was out.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The day before vacation finally arrived. Lauel and I usually walked to and from school, but that day I persuaded Mom to pick us up in her car after school in case I really got the tree. Before school was over, Miss O’Keefe announced it was time for the drawing. My heart pounded as Miss O’Keefe put her hand into the box and drew one folded piece of paper out. Then she unfolded the paper, looked at it and announced. “Helen has won the tree” I was beside myself with excitement!
I raced to my mother’s car excitedly when school was out. And I’ll never forget the astonishment on my mother’s face as my sister and I carried the tree to her car. Since Mom had a key to Mrs Mueller’s house, we took the tree straight to her living room and set it up on a table. It looked so beautiful! The next evening we welcomed Mrs Mueller back at her door. She slowly made her way into the house and turned on the lights. Greeted by the sparkling Christmas tree, Mrs Mueller was rooted to the spot, looking surprised. Then a sweet smile appeared on her face and tears welled up in her eyes. “Thank you so much!” she said softly.

A
Everyone has unique needs and preferences and individual sleep requirements are no different. However, the amount of sleep you need per night is mainly determined by your age. Official recommendations for the length of a person’s sleep are broken down by age group:
Older adults (65+): 7–8 hours
Adults (18–64 years): 7–9 hours
Teenagers (14–17 years): 8–10 hours
School children (6–13 years): 9–11 hours
Preschoolers (3–5 years): 10–13 hours (including naps)
Toddlers (1–2 years): 11–14 hours (including naps)
Infants (4–12 months): 12–15 hours (including naps)
Newborns (0–3 months): 14–17 hours
However, some people might need more or less sleep than what is generally recommended, depending on the following factors.
Genetic makeup
Your genetics are an important factor in how many hours of sleep you need per night.
For example, those with one specific genetic mutation (基因突变) need only around 6 hours, whereas people without such particular mutation require about 8 hours, on average.
Sleep quality
The quality of your sleep can also affect how much you need.
If your sleep quality is poor, you may find that you still feel tired after getting what should be considered enough.
Therefore, it’s not only important to focus on sleeping long enough but also on sleeping well enough. If you often feel like you aren’t sleeping well or are extremely tired and don’t know why, it’s a good idea to check in with your healthcare provider.
1. What is the main reason for the amount of sleep we need per night?
A. Sleep quality. B. Genetics. C. Our eating habits. D. Our age.
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. All school children need to sleep for 9 to 11 hours.
B. Any kind of genetic mutation can lead to a 6-hour sleep pattern.
C. You should turn to your healthcare provider as long as you feel tired.
D. Poor sleep quality may lead to tiredness though you’ve got enough sleep.
3. Where does this passage most probably come from?
A. A health magazine. B. A travel brochure.
C. A fashion website. D. A sports newspaper.

Arsh believes in the importance of making the world a more beautiful place. The talented boy not only paints but also sells his artwork and donates the money.
It all started when his parents bought him a set of painting tools for his 8th birthday. Once he had his own materials, he began spending much of his free time putting color on his canvas. As Arsh’s paintings began to grow in number, he decided to give them as gifts to friends and family. Receiving a positive response from people around him, he soon realized his pieces had the potential to get much more than smiles and praise.
His light-bulb moment came shortly after: he would sell his artwork and donate the money to charity. His first plan was to raise $1,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which he accomplished in around nine months by selling his paintings on social media and at local art shows. Since then, he’s broadened his reach to benefit other organizations, including childhood cancer nonprofit Compass to Care and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He’s raised over $16,000 for charities so far.
Arsh’s artwork is often colorful and cheery, as one might expect from a youngster, but it showcases the impressive technique of a gifted artist. Some pieces are more abstract in nature; others feature realistic renditions (演绎) of flowers and animals. They range in size and complexity, and, accordingly, price. Small paintings might sell for $10 while larger canvases, up to five feet, have gone for $800.
Last year, Arsh won The Diana Award, an honor presented by a UK charity founded on Princess Diana’s belief that young people have the power to change their country. And the young artist has advice for other kids looking to make a difference. “Helping others doesn’t have to be, like, money or anything. It can be your time, your skills, your talent,” he says, “and overall, just be kind to other people to make their day better.”
4. What made Arsh interested in painting?
A. A birthday present from his parents. B. His parents’ deep love for painting.
C. The encouragement of others around him. D. His fascination with the beauty of nature.
5. Why did Arsh decide to sell his artwork?
A. To pay for his painting materials. B. To get more attention from others.
C. To attract children’s interest in art. D. To help those people who are in need.
6. What can we learn about Arsh from the text?
A. His fundraising plan is going well.
B. He will turn his attention to his studies.
C. All his paintings sell at high prices now.
D. He is going to teach other children to paint for free.
7. What does Arsh want to say in the last paragraph?
A. Every child has a unique talent.
B. Everyone has the ability to help others.
C. Talent plays an important role in learning art.
D. Helping others is the responsibility of young artists.
C
China has set new rules limiting the amount of time children can spend playing online games. The rules limit children to just three hours of online game playing a week. That is one hour between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday most weeks.
Li Zhanguo has two children aged 4 and 8. Even though they do not have smartphones, they enjoy playing online games. Like many other parents. Li is happy with new government rules. But experts say it is unclear if such policies can help prevent addiction to online games. Children might just get addicted to social media instead. In the end, experts say, parents should be the ones to set limits and support good practice.
There has been a growing concern in China about gaming addiction among children. Government reports in 2018 found that about one in ten Chinese children were addicted to the Internet. The new rules are part of an effort to prevent young people from spending too much time on unhealthy entertainment. That includes what officials call the “irrational fan culture”
Under the new rules, the responsibility for making sure children play only three hours a day falls largely on Chinese gaming companies like Net Ease and Ten cent. Companies have set up real-name registration systems to prevent young users from going past game time limits. They have used facial recognition technology to check their identities. And they have also set up a program that permits people to report what is against the law. It is unclear what punishments gaming companies may face if they do not carry out the policies. And even if such policies are performed, it is also unclear whether they can prevent online addiction.
A specialist treating Internet addiction expects about 20 percent of children will find ways to break the rules by borrowing accounts of their older relatives and find a way around facial recognition. In his opinion, short-video alps such as Douyin and Kuaishou are also very popular in China. They are not under the same restrictions as games.
8. When can children play games according to the new rules?
A. Between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. On Friday. B. Between 8 p. m. and 9 p.m. On Tuesday.
C. Between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. On Saturday. D. Between 10 p. m. and 11 p.m. On Thursday.
9. According to experts, _________
A. the new rules can stop children’s addiction to social media

Most adults find it hard to recall (记起) events from their first few years of life and now scientists have found exactly when these childhood memories fade (消失).
A new study has found that most three-year-olds can recall a lot of what happened to them over a year earlier, and these memories persist while they are five and six, but by the time they are over seven, these memories decline (衰退) rapidly.
Most children by the age of eight or nine can only recall 35% of their experiences from under the age of three, according to the new findings.
The scientists behind the research say this is because at around this age the way we form memories begins to change. They say that before the age of seven, children do not have a sense of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early events that they can recall tend to be more adult-like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster rate of forgetting than adults. The findings also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of events but then forget them just a couple of years later.
The youngsters first visited the laboratory at the age of three and discussed six unique events from their past, such as family outings, trips to the zoo, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second session between the ages of five and nine to discuss the same events. The researchers found that between the ages of five and seven, the amount of memories that the children could recall remained between 63 -72 percent. However, the amount of information that eight-to-nine-year-old children could recall dropped to 35 and 36 percent.
12. What does the new study tell us?
A. Childhood memories fall quickly over seven.
B. Three-year-old kids are the cleverest.
C. Childhood memories can fade easily.
D. Some adults cannot recall past events.
13. What does the underlined word “persist” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. change. B. remain.
C. appear. D. return.
14 What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Adults cannot have clear memories of past events.
B. Children can think like adults when they get older.
C. Children often forget things because they have no idea of time and place.
D. Children under and above seven have different ways of forming memories.
15. In the second session, nine-year-old children
A. refused to discuss the same events
B. only remembered a small part of their past events
C. could recall 72 percent of their past events
D. remembered all their family outings and trips

A Christmas Tree for Mrs. Mueller
The black-and-white photograph of Mrs. Mueller that I took pictured her seated on the sofa in our living room, smiling shyly. Mrs. Mueller was our next—door neighbor when my sister and I were growing up.
We got to know her after her husband died. She didn’t have children of her own and no relatives that we knew of. She was gentle and kind, and Laurel and I considered her our special friend.
Early one December, Mrs. Mueller went into the hospital. Laurel and I were busy making Christmas presents, and we pondered (思考) what to make for Mrs. Mueller. She would be coming home a few days before Christmas to an empty house with no holiday decorations. We lit upon the idea of decorating a small tree that would greet her with lights and cheer. We were wondering how to carry out our plan when the answer appeared
I was in Miss O’Keefe’s sixth grade class that year, and we had decorated a small tree with paper-link chains and ornaments (装饰品) we’d made in art class. It was beautiful. Best of all, it had to be removed from the classroom before Christmas vacation.
Miss O’Keefe said there would be a drawing (抽签) for the tree. We’d each write our name on a piece of paper and put it through the slot (窄缝) in the shoebox she had decorated. On the last day of school before vacation, she’d draw a name from the box, and that student could take home the tree.
As I put the folded piece of paper with my name “Holly Wheeler” into the box, I was beside myself with excitement, hoping I could be the lucky dog. My mother pointed out there were 30 children who might win the tree, but I was certain I would get it because our purpose was good: We wanted to make Mrs. Mueller happy.
注意:1.所续写的短文词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
The day before vacation finally arrived.
