Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word “Yes” come out of your mouth. However, it usually results in anger —not only for the person who asked you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough. Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work. Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.” She believes if you say “Yes”, you will regret later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you’re asked at first. Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group, believed we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, “We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that awful feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others, which you really should spend on yourself.” 24. The writer leads in the topic by ________. A. telling a story B. giving examples C. doing a survey D. asking questions 25. We can learn from the passage that now Messenger ________. A. knows how to refuse others politely B. always agrees to help her workmates C. likes drinking coffee in her work time D. feels angry when she can’t help others 26. Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with? A. Offering help is the key to make friends. B. Helping others makes you successful. C. People in need will care about our time. D. You’d better say “No” bravely if necessary. 27. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要谈论了人际交往中的问题。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word ‘Yes’ come out of your mouth.”可知，此处是举例说明。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Messenger finally learned to refuse ”可知，Messenger最终学会了如何拒绝。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. ”可知，Janine Garner认为我们应当停止做占据时间但是不符合自身目标的事情，即我们应当拒绝这些事情。故选D。 【27题详解】 篇章结构题。阅读全文可知，第一段通过实例说明在别人对你有要求时，不能总是随便说“是”，我们在答应别人说“是”的时候，我们需要非常清楚自己的目标。第二和第三段通过实例说明要学会拒绝；第四段说明Janine Garner建议人们“必要时你最好勇敢地说不”的观点。故选C。 C Here comes Junior 3 Year! This means that the high school entrance exam will arrive in less than a year. How will you get through the final year of middle school and get ready for the big exam? TEENS invited two students to share their thoughts. Zeng Qingmian, 15, Jiangxi I got a score of 700 out of 750 on the big exam. Junior 3 was quite stressful and it was even harder for a boarding school (寄宿学校) student like me. I needed to make detailed plans—not only for studying, but also daily chores like washing my clothes. I was highly focused (集中注意力) during class and tried to remember everything my teachers said. To me, this is far more effective than spending time doing exercises after class. During self-study time at night, I took every chance to ask teachers questions. I also counted time while doing quizzes. This helped improve my learning efficiency (效率) . I didn’t have many review materials. My method was to make up my own questions. After solving a math problem, for example, I would design my own problems that used the same concepts (概念) . Huang Ziyi, 15, Beijing I got a score of 520 out of 580 on the high school entrance exam. For me, knowing my strengths and keeping a stable mind are very necessary. The competition in Beijing is hard. Many students have tutors (导师) . I once took a coding class, but found that I wasn’t good at it. So I gave up and focused more on what I’m good at. I have applied this principle (原则) to my studies. I go over the key points of each unit to strengthen my skills in subjects like physics and math. When taking a test, I usually skip (跳过) questions I don’t know and try to solve them at the end if there is still some time left. One should learn to stay calm in situations like these. Don’t worry too much about the result of one test as long as you are learning and improving. 28. What does Zeng try to do in class? A. Make a study plan. B. Ask the teacher questions. C. Listen to the teacher carefully. D. Do as many exercises as possible. 29. Why does Zeng count time while doing quizzes? A. To practice his handwriting. B. To learn the knowledge better. C. To put extra pressure on himself. D. To save time for asking questions. 30. What does “this principle” in Huang’s story refer to? A. Keep a clear mind. B. Ask for help if necessary. C. Focus on what you are good at. D. Spend more time on difficult questions. 31 What is the passage mainly about? A. How to study well in Junior 3. B. Ways to stay calm during big exams. C. How to deal with pressure and worries. D. Unforgettable memories from one’s final year. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是TEENS邀请了两位学生分享他们在初三最后一年里如何为大考做准备的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I was highly focused (集中注意力) during class and tried to remember everything my teachers said.”可知，曾在上课时非常专注，并努力记住老师说的每句话。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I also counted time while doing quizzes.

As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name. To celebrate the day, people usually climb mountains and enjoy chrysanthemum（菊花）. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years. During the Warring States Period, there was the Chongyang Festival, But it was only celebrated in the imperial palace. From the Han Dynasty, it began to be popular among the common people. The name of the Chongyang Festival first appeared in the Three Kingdom Period. It was not officially. It’s not as a festival until Tang Dynasty. Since then, all the people have spent the festival with kinds of activities. In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word “forever”, meaning long life. In 1989, the Chinese government set the day as the Senior’s Day. As September has the clear sky and fresh air, it is a very good time to climb the mountain. There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this season. On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life. Drinking chrysanthemum wine is regarded as a way to prevent disasters and bad things. Inserting zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid（避免）the bad and keep out the cold.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了重阳节的由来和习俗。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name.”可知，它来自农历的月和日。故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“It’s not as a festival until Tang Dynasty.”可知，在唐朝之前重阳节并不是一个官方的节日，因此划线单词的意思是“官方的”。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“climb the mountain、enjoying chrysanthemum、Drinking chrysanthemum wine、Inserting zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemum”以及“Eating Chongyang cakes ”可知，没有提到“放风筝”。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In China, nine has the similar pronunciation with the word ‘forever’, meaning long life.”以及“On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life.”可知，“九”和菊花的中文发音都意味着长寿。故选C。 Ⅳ. 阅读还原。（共10分，每小题2分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项只能用一次。 Gifts are a way for people to show love. ___36___ The gift can be anything, your favorite CD, a book, clothes, delicious food and so on.

Sun Valley has more than 80 amusement rides. For sports lovers, there are basketball courts, an indoor baseball field, and climbing walls. No amusement park would be complete without a gift shop. Sun Valley has two. You won’t want to miss out on this day of fun. Join us at Sun Valley Amusement Park on July 29. Register (登记) early. The cost of the trip is $ 40. This includes tickets and all rides. All children must bring lunch. Buses leave at 9: 00 am and return at 5: 00 pm. Rain Date: Wednesday, July 31. For more information, call Jane Parks at 555-7267. 21. It is possible for _________ to take part in the activity. A. Tim, over 14, who likes playing basketball B. Lisa, aged 12, who hates amusement rides C. John, aged 13, who enjoys climbing walls D. Linda, under 10, who likes rides and sports 22. Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage? A. You should pay $ 40 for tickets and rides. B. You must bring lunch. C. There are two gift shops at Sun Valley Amusement Park. D. The trip lasts 2 days. 23. What is the text of the article? A. An ad. B. A notice. C. A short novel. D. A letter. B It’s always easier to say “Yes” because most of us want to please other people. Somebody asks you to go for a party but you have tests the next day, or to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join the activities you have no interest at all! Even though your heart is crying NO, you find the word “Yes” come out of your mouth. However, it usually results in anger —not only for the person who asked you, but also for yourself for not being strong enough. Lisa Messenger, the Collective Hub CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and that stopped her from doing business because she didn’t have time to do her own work. Messenger finally learned to refuse like “No, I’m sorry, but I don’t have time.” She believes if you say “Yes”, you will regret later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt, fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to. So you need to be brave enough to say “No” when you’re asked at first. Janine Garner, CEO of The LBD Group, believed we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, “We may end up saying ‘Yes’ because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But we end up having that awful feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and don’t add anything towards your goals. Take a good look at the time spent on others, which you really should spend on yourself.” 24. The writer leads in the topic by ________. A. telling a story B. giving examples C. doing a survey D. asking questions 25. We can learn from the passage that now Messenger ________. A. knows how to refuse others politely B. always agrees to help her workmates C. likes drinking coffee in her work time D. feels angry when she can’t help others 26. Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with? A. Offering help is the key to make friends. B. Helping others makes you successful. C. People in need will care about our time. D. You’d better say “No” bravely if necessary. 27. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. C Here comes Junior 3 Year! This means that the high school entrance exam will arrive in less than a year. How will you get through the final year of middle school and get ready for the big exam? TEENS invited two students to share their thoughts. Zeng Qingmian, 15, Jiangxi I got a score of 700 out of 750 on the big exam. Junior 3 was quite stressful and it was even harder for a boarding school (寄宿学校) student like me. I needed to make detailed plans—not only for studying, but also daily chores like washing my clothes. I was highly focused (集中注意力) during class and tried to remember everything my teachers said. To me, this is far more effective than spending time doing exercises after class. During self-study time at night, I took every chance to ask teachers questions. I also counted time while doing quizzes. This helped improve my learning efficiency (效率) . I didn’t have many review materials. My method was to make up my own questions. After solving a math problem, for example, I would design my own problems that used the same concepts (概念) . Huang Ziyi, 15, Beijing I got a score of 520 out of 580 on the high school entrance exam. For me, knowing my strengths and keeping a stable mind are very necessary. The competition in Beijing is hard. Many students have tutors (导师) . I once took a coding class, but found that I wasn’t good at it. So I gave up and focused more on what I’m good at. I have applied this principle (原则) to my studies. I go over the key points of each unit to strengthen my skills in subjects like physics and math. When taking a test, I usually skip (跳过) questions I don’t know and try to solve them at the end if there is still some time left. One should learn to stay calm in situations like these. Don’t worry too much about the result of one test as long as you are learning and improving. 28. What does Zeng try to do in class? A. Make a study plan. B. Ask the teacher questions. C. Listen to the teacher carefully. D. Do as many exercises as possible. 29. Why does Zeng count time while doing quizzes? A. To practice his handwriting. B. To learn the knowledge better. C. To put extra pressure on himself. D. To save time for asking questions. 30. What does “this principle” in Huang’s story refer to? A. Keep a clear mind. B. Ask for help if necessary. C. Focus on what you are good at. D. Spend more time on difficult questions. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to study well in Junior 3. B. Ways to stay calm during big exams. C How to deal with pressure and worries. D. Unforgettable memories from one’s final year. D The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name.

There will be a happy sense of excitement by climbing the mountain in this season. On the day, enjoying chrysanthemum is very popular as the flower means long life. Drinking chrysanthemum wine is regarded as a way to prevent disasters and bad things. Inserting zhuyu and sticking chrysanthemum are also traditions to avoid（避免）the bad and keep out the cold. Eating Chongyang cakes is another tradition on the festival. 32. How did the name Double Ninth Festival come? A. It came from the word “forever”. B. It came from a war’s name. C.
