These kinds of activities make people more creative. Help You Be Relaxed Having a hobby makes you feel good. Scientists say, “When you make something, the ‘feel-good’ part of your brain gets a message. It makes you feel happy.” When we feel happy, we have less stress. Too much stress can make people sick.

Will it be much better than it is now?And what will we be able to do in 10, 20 or 30 years? Genetic engineering (基因工程) may help us make the perfect human.

Maybe people will be able to meet and talk with their dead family members. Over the next 20 to 50 years, it will become harder to tell the difference between humans and machines. Perhaps we will be able to make copies of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. People may be able to find ways of putting the life of a person into a new body.

For example, when we have a stomachache (吞下) a nanobot and it will travel through our stomach, taking a video of what’s happening there. The video will help the doctor heal (治愈). In the future, computers may have feelings. They may be able to think better than us. We may be more and more interested in computers and the internet, spending all our time in front of computers.

Soon there were more than100 signatures in Brody’s yearbook. 60. Classmates should help and learn from each other. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过布罗迪经历的事情告诉了我们：如果你在学校被欺负或遇到一些问题，一定要向你的老师或父母寻求帮助。这样，问题就会很快得到解决。 【56题详解】 根据“Sadly, each student had some classmates sign their yearbook. …no one in Brody’s class wanted to sign his yearbook.”可知，前后句子表示转折，应该用转折词but，意为“但是”，首字母大写。故填But。 【57题详解】 根据“She took a picture of Brody’s words in his yearbook and shared it with other parents of students at Brody’s school.”可知，她与其他家长分享了布罗迪在年鉴中的话。故填She shared Brody’s words in his yearbook with other parents. 【58题详解】 分析句子可知，句子时态是when引导的时间状语从句，时态是一般过去时，Brody’s mum“布罗迪的妈妈”，作主语；sad“伤心的”，形容词作表语；when意为“当……时候”；read“读”，作谓语动词；learned about“了解”，固定词组；her son’s experience“她儿子的经历”，作宾语；at school“在学校”，作状语。故填：当Brody的妈妈读到这封信并了解到她儿子在学校的经历时，她也很难过。 【59题详解】 根据“Soon there were more than100 signatures (签名) in Brody’s yearbook.”以及“Brody didn’t think this meant they would make friends with him, but he was sure that they accepted him and saw him as a member of their class.”可知，this代指的是“很快，布罗迪的年鉴上就有了100多个签名”。故填Soon there were more than100 signatures in Brody’s yearbook. 【60题详解】 根据“Knowing that, many parents asked their children to help the boy. Simone was a 9th grade student in Brody’s school. He understood how Brody felt. So he told his classmates Brody’s story.”以及通读全文可知，同学之间应该互相帮助，互相学习。故填Classmates should help and learn from each other. 五、写作（满分20分） 61. 你校人生规划课程组将要组织一次征文比赛活动，主题是“My dream job”，请写一篇征文稿，包括你的理想职业，你选择此职业的原因及如何实现你的职业理想等。 注意： 1. 不得出现真实的校名、地名和人名； 2. 不少于80 词。 My dream job ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考例文： My dream job Everyone has a dream, so do I.

Now, let’s see what they can help. Help You Learn When you have a hobby, you learn new things. You have to read instructions. You look at websites, magazines and books to get more information about your hobby. More reading makes you a better reader and a better learner. Help You Be Creative For many hobbies, such as building model cars and making pottery, you have to use your brain as well as your hands. We learn by doing things and by touching things. These kinds of activities make people more creative. Help You Be Relaxed Having a hobby makes you feel good. Scientists say, “When you make something, the ‘feel-good’ part of your brain gets a message. It makes you feel happy.” When we feel happy, we have less stress. Too much stress can make people sick. Help You Build Skills People with hobbies learn how to set goals and solve problems. Learning these skills when you are young can help you grow up. For some kids, having a hobby can be the first step to find a satisfying job in the future. 1. Which hobby can use your brain and hands? A. Watching cartoons. B. Reading novels. C.

As one of China’s brightest young table tennis stars, Wang Chuqin is now the men’s singles world No.1 spot (位置), the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) said on March 19. The 23-year-old is known for his left-handed playing style. Less common in the sport, left-handed players often leave their opponents (对手) surprised “by the different angles (角度)”, wrote the online table tennis platform Ping Sunday. He sometimes lost his temper on the court. During the ITTF World Tour Austrian Open in 2019, he threw his racquet (球拍) in anger after losing a match. Because of this, he wasn’t allowed to play for three months. But he still stays optimistic, and trained harder. Now, Wang has turned himself into a calmer player. “I just want to keep improving”, Wang told China Daily. He added that his strong will to win and go after his goals helps him to grow and become better. Away from the table, with his cool clothes and hairstyle, many people take Wang as an outgoing person. However, “I am relatively (相对地) quiet”, Wang told the Olympics website. “I don’t speak very much. I prefer the feeling of spending time alone.” While many people see Wang as a favorite to win at the 2024 Paris Olympics, he feels a bit nervous because he has never competed at one before. “You may only have the experience of the Olympics once in your life, so I want to do my best and go all out to play well”, Wang said. 4. What often surprises Wang’s opponents in games? A. His anger after losing the game. B. His unusual left-handed angles. C. His bright and cheerful personality. D. The angles he faces to his opponents. 5 What difficulty did Wang once meet? A. He lost a game because of anger. B. He was badly hurt by his racquet. C. He kept losing important games. D. He couldn’t play games for three months. 6. What does the underlined word “optimistic” mean in the passage? A. 消极 B. 愤怒的 C. 冷静的 D. 乐观的 7. What does Wang think of his own character? A. He is outgoing. B. He easily feels lonely. C. He is usually quiet. D. He likes getting along with others. What will life in the future be like? Will it be much better than it is now?And what will we be able to do in 10, 20 or 30 years? Genetic engineering (基因工程) may help us make the perfect human. Babies may grow up to play basketball like Yao Ming or look like Cecilia Cheung. Also, we may be able to bring the dead back to life. Maybe people will be able to meet and talk with their dead family members. Over the next 20 to 50 years it will become harder to tell the difference between humans and machines. Perhaps we will be able to make copies of ourselves, so we will appear to be alive long after we are dead. People may be able to find ways of putting the life of a person into a new body. Nanobots (纳米机器人) will be important. We will use them when we are sick. For example, when we have a stomachache (吞下) a nanobot and it will travel through our stomach, taking a video of what’s happening there. The video will help the doctor heal (治愈). In the future, computers may have feelings. They may be able to think better than us. We may be more and more interested in computers and the internet, spending all our time in front of computers. Perhaps we will forget our real needs. Perhaps we will become super couch potatoes weighing 250 kg! 8 What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. What genetic engineering is. B. Why genetic engineering may be helpful. C. How genetic engineering can help humans. D. How genetic engineering brings the dead back to life. 9. It may be harder to tell if a person is dead because ________. A. humans will live longer B. humans will live among dead people C. humans may be able to make copies of themselves D. humans can change their body parts into machine parts 10.

A. talk like human beings B. heal sick people C. talk with dead people D. think like human beings Traveling to a farm and spending several hours getting your hands dirty, it might sound like an unusual way to spend a vacation.
