"Why don't you like fractions?" she asked. "I don't understand them at all! I'm just not a clever girl." "Everyone learns at a different speed, Ella. You are a very smart girl." "1 don't even know why I have to learn them. What's the point? I'm never going to need a fraction in my whole life. "Let's not worry about fractions right now. Instead, would you like to help me make cookies?" "Okay." Ella said. "Here. You put the ingredients in the pan and I will cook them." Mom placed sugar, milk, peanut butter and some measuring cups close to the pan. "First, put one full cup of sugar into the pan. Ella gently pulled out a full cup of sugar and poured it into the pan. "Good," Mom said. "Now, I need a little more. I need three—fourths of a cup. That is more than half of the cup, but not all the way to the top. Fill it halfway first." Ella filled the cup halfway full. "Okay. Now, see that line a little way up? That is three—fourths of a cup. Add enough sugar until it reaches that line. Ella put a little more sugar into the cup until it reached the line. "Great! Pour it into the pan. Next, we need one—half cup of milk. Here is the measuring cup. Fill it to the half cup line with milk. " Ella slowly poured one—half cup of milk. "Now I have to cook it for one and a half minutes. After that, all we need to do is to add one teaspoon of vanilla and one—half cup of peanut butter. " Mom turned to Ella. "I see what you are doing. You are showing me I need to understand fractions," Ella said with a smile. Mom laughed. "And you were understanding! You just need a little more practice." "Okay. I understand now. Fractions are important. Without fractions, we wouldn't be able to make cookies!" Ella and Mom both laughed. 36．What did Ella think of fractions at first? A．Difficult and useless.

I went there because hikes, art, and fields of corn sounded fun to me. When I set out in August, I hugged my parents’ goodbye. “See you in December!” I said. My parents nodded. They were worried — I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I had trouble reaching out. They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly. My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.” The first two weeks were difficult. I made half-hearted small talks at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than a five-mile race. I was out of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t go back. One day during the third week, I spent two hours collecting corn with one of my classmates. My feelings matched the darkening sky. I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from again?” Half an hour passed, “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness. A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends. That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find a new normal. When I arrived, people tired me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them. 24．The writer’s parents worried about her because ________. A．she disliked the program B．she was always a shy girl C．she feared to leave home D．she was a very slow reader. 25．The writer started to relax after ________. A．calling her parents B．running a hard race C．talking about books D．crying in the shower 26．From her experience, the writer learned about ________. A．the benefits of living by oneself B．the joy of leaving a comfort zone C．the value of having a new hobby D．the importance of making friends 北京市回民学校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what colour the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!”. Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the colour of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what colour the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently coloured sides-from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 24．What did the teacher do at first? A．She shouted at the boys. B．She called the boys’ parents. C．She walked out of the classroom. D．She brought the boys to her desk. 25．How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2? A．Pleased. B．Surprised.

Solving puzzles is like solving mysteries, so he likes working on puzzles too. He also likes solving problems. Kevin can usually solve any mystery, puzzle or problem. One day Kevin’s mom was trying to find her glasses. Without her glasses, she could not drive. This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend’s house. It was also a mystery and a puzzle. Kevin really wanted to solve this mystery, so he sat down with his mom. “Where do you last remember seeing your glasses?” he asked. “I had them on while I was watching the news this morning,” she said. “Where were you watching the news?” asked Kevin. His mom thought for a minute, and then she answered that she was in the sitting room. She remembered sitting in her favorite chair and taking off her glasses when the news ended. She thought she had placed her glasses on the table, but they weren’t there. “Are you sure you didn’t put them on again after the morning news?” asked Kevin. “Maybe I did,” his mom replied. “Let’s walk through your day, Mom,” said Kevin. Kevin had his mom describe everything she remembered doing during the day so far. She mentioned watching the news, making breakfast, folding laundry, working in her home office and then gardening. It was after gardening that she started looking for her glasses. After hearing about his mom’s day, Kevin retraced her path through the house and yard. He looked under the cushion （垫子） of her favorite chair, in the kitchen, in the laundry basket, in her office and around the garden. He didn’t find her glasses. Kevin didn’t want to give up, so he looked in each place again and he looked even harder. When he went around the kitchen again, he opened the cabinets（橱柜）instead of just looking on the counters. Kevin solved the mystery, the puzzle and the problem. He found his mom’s glasses in the drawer with the silverware. “Thank you, Kevin,” said his mom, “I wouldn’t be able to see anything without you.” 24．What was Kevin’s mom trying to find?

Jameson knew she was talking to Mrs. Kyle down the street. She had a son four years younger than Jameson and was always trying to get Jameson to play with him. Only Jameson didn’t want to play with him. He felt bored playing baby games. Jameson hoped Mrs. Kyle wasn’t getting Mom to agree to a play date. Mom said goodbye, and Jameson ran to his room. He sat down at his desk and took out his math book. His mom knocked on the door. “Jameson, may I come in?” “I’m really busy studying for my math test right now.” Maybe that would make Mom think twice about forcing him to play with Timothy Kyle. “Oh, okay then. Never mind.” Jameson heard his mom walk back down the hall. He was happy his plan had worked, but now he had to stay in his room because his mom thought he was studying. He looked outside. The sun was shining, and it was the perfect day to be outdoors. He pictured playing football in the park with his friends. Then he thought about the best thing of all, going to the new amusement park. He’d been dying to (渴望) go, but tickets were expensive and he hadn’t saved up enough money yet. He spent the afternoon tossing (掷) his football straight up in the air while lying on his bed. He was more than bored. Even playing with Timothy Kyle was better than this. He got up and went downstairs. “All finished studying?” Mom asked. Jameson nodded. Then his mom said, “Mrs. Kyle called earlier. She had tickets to the new amusement park. She said you could have them.” Things were different from what Jameson thought. He deeply regretted what he did. “I should try to figure out (弄清楚) what is exactly happening instead of lying to Mom for my own good,” he thought. 24．How did Jameson feel about playing baby games with Mrs. Kyle’s son? A．Hopeful. B．Happy. C．Worried. D．Bored. 25．Jameson spent the whole afternoon ________.

And I couldn’t believe I would lose the friendship of the person I trusted the most. Five years back, Sally was the new kid in class. I don’t know what it was, but something unique about her drew me to her. She was the most friendly person I knew.We started as classmates, but after a few months, we were like best friends. So, I never expected her to hurt me in such a big way. I don’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. She made the matter bigger than it was, adding her own spin（倾向性描述）on it and telling everyone at school. It was like someone had stabbed（刺）me in the back. After she gave away my secrets, everyone at school started laughing at me, looking at me and giggling（咯咯地笑）whenever I passed by. After this terrible situation, I changed to a new school. Sally called me many times, but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken. I tried hard to heal（愈合）from the scars she left on my heart. I started a new life. After five years, my life went back to the way it was, with new friends.But one day, I met Anna at the market. She was my classmate from third grade. She told me that Sally wasn’t the one who brought my secrets to light. Mary was. Mary was our school’s big mouth who always wanted to stick her nose into other people’s business. I was all at sea and regretted a lot. I wished I could have asked Sally about this. I wished I could go back in time and fix my mistakes.

They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room. For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice. “We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said. “But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained. Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned. A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt. “Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.” “What about glass?” Maggie asked. “Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!” Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time? At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute. “We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!” 24. What’s the last challenge in the special test? A. Decorating the laboratory. B. Taking out the key trapped in the ice. C. Solving a maths problem. D. Learning a secret language. 25. Why did Travis pull off his sweatshirt? A.

Unfortunately, the boy tied the dog and threw him into a lake. Luckily, the boy’s father saved the dog. However, the next day, the boy tried to make Rocky die again. He took the dog and held him under water. The dog was saved once more by the father and was returned to the animal home. Later, Rocky was given to Rita when he was 10 weeks old. The two were always within reach of each other so they were called R and R by the family. Once, when Rita was about to enter a store, two large men rushed out of the door, crying to the shopkeeper, and nearly knocking Rita over. Rocky rushed forward, putting himself between the girl and the two men. He growled (咆哮) and the men backed off. He seemed fearless most of the time. But Rocky’s fear of water was clear when Rita went swimming in a nearby lake. He would pull back, pace on the shore (岸), and shake. When he was 3 years old and Rita was 11, she fell off a boardwalk and into the lake facedown. Her body was not moving. We can never know what went through Rocky’s mind as he stood there watching his keeper, but he jumped into the water. He swam to Rita, caught her dress, swam back to the shore, and pulled her out. Rocky’s fear of the water was certain and never became less. He continued to avoid it for the rest of his life, and no one ever saw him so much as place a foot in the lake again. He braved the water just once, for Rita, for love. 24. Rocky met Rita when Rocky was __________. A. 7 weeks old B. 10 weeks old C. 3 years old D. 11 years old 25.

He or she pushes it many miles in a lifetime. But few know or even think to ask who invented it. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time, he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers carrying the shopping baskets hard, which led them unwilling to buy more items. One day, Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But, Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only people could give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired（雇佣）a group of people to push carts around his market as if they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying them. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. As a result, more people came and bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s earliest model. Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did in 1937 before the coming of the shopping cart, perhaps the shopping cart is one reason. 24. Why did Sylvan N. Goldman invent the shopping cart? A. To sell shopping baskets. B. To make the shopping easier. C. To help customers to use it. D. To attract more inventors’ eyes. 25. What was Goldman’s feeling on that morning as customers began arriving? A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Terrible. 26. What did the real customers do after Goldman hired a group of people? A. They came and bought items. B. They copied to buy items. C. They tried to use the cart. D. They spent much money on food. 北京市海淀区2022-2023学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 Last fall, I signed up for a four-month program for teenagers in Mountain High School.

Fear of speed, fear of heights: They just weren't for me. The closest I had ever got was a kiddie-coaster when I was six. It was probably six feet tall, but I had it stopped even before we got up to the first slope. So today I just waited for my friends while they took the 53 mph roller-coaster-riding.

As we stood in line, I got more scared. "It looks really big from down here," I worried out loud.Finally, we reached the front of the line. I sat in a seat with Jackie and said that I would not let go of her hand until we were safely off the ride. As soon as we started moving, I began to scream and held Jackie's hand tightly. We started to climb the slope toward the highest point of the ride. WHOOOOSH! It felt as if something had broken. We started falling fast. The wind blew hard and it seemed like my face would blow off. I screamed so loud that I couldn't hear myself anymore. Oh my gosh, we weren't  going to stop! I knew it. This had been a terrible idea. I closed my eyes,  never stopping my scream. CLUNK! The ride came suddenly to a stop. I opened my eyes. We were back where we started! I hadn't  died! I stepped off the ride, tired and dizzy.

He wasn’t used to starting dinner this early. On his nights to cook, Jeremiah generally got dinner ready in fifteen minutes. But Dad always praised Jeremiah’s meals, no matter how simple they were. “Delicious!” he would say. But Jeremiah knew Dad liked more complicated (复杂的) dishes, because on Dad’s nights to cook, he used a ton of ingredients. Dad was a natural cook. Not Jeremiah-at least, not until tonight. It was Dad’s birthday, and for once in his life, Jeremiah was cooking something complicated: spaghetti with homemade sauce (酱). He’d eaten it a million times, so he knew most of the ingredients. “Tomatoes, onions, garlic, beef,” he thought, looking through the fridge. They had everything except the beef. No problem—they’d go vegetarian tonight. Jeremiah cut up the vegetables with Dad’s special knife and put them into the pot. Then he turned to Dad’s spice(香料) collection. He picked a few familiar ones and put them in. The pleasing smell of fresh tomatoes amazed him. He tasted it just as Dad usually did. It was terrible! Way too spicy. Aha! A lime would cool things down. He added in as much lime juice as he could. One more taste. Ugh. It was awful! Now the sauce was sour and spicy. He left the kitchen and went into his room. He could at least order pizza, so Dad wouldn’t have to stay hungry on his own birthday. As he counted his money, he heard the front door open. “Hi, Jeremiah!” Dad called. “Coming.” Jeremiah returned to the kitchen, where he found Dad digging through the food cupboard. “I’m buying pizza,” Jeremiah said. “It’s not much of a birthday dinner...” Dad turned, holding a bag of chips and a bowl of Jeremiah’s spaghetti sauce. “We don’t need pizza!” Dad smiled. “This delicious salsa(萨尔萨辣酱) is a meal in itself!” 24．Why did Jeremiah decide to cook something complicated?

One day, he saw a magazine article that interested him. It was about prosthetics (假肢), which can be used to replace a missing body part, like a hand, arm or leg. The article said people are using 3-D printers to build these devices (装置). Anderson thought this was very cool. He wanted to learn more about it. So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin, about building a prosthetic together. The timing was perfect. Martin had just heard about a group called Enabling the Future. This group asks volunteers to help build robotic arms and legs. The volunteers build them for people who share their stories on the website. Anderson and Martin looked through the website together. They decided to help a man from the country of Romania. His name is Comel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm. In February, Anderson and Martin got to work. Building the robotic arm was not easy. Anderson had some problems. He had hoped to use a 3-D printer at his school. One of the pieces for the arm was bigger than the size of the printer, though. Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help. Anderson and Martin could use their big 3-D printers. After that, Anderson worked on the arm for about three months. Anderson and Martin sent the arm to Crismaru in May. In August, they received a note. It was from Crismaru’s son. He thanked Anderson and Martin for their help. Martin said she hopes children and grown-ups who hear about Anderson’s projects will realize that it may be hard to change the world, but they can start with small acts. Some of these can help a person in a “huge way”. 24．The volunteers build ________ for people who share their stories online.

So one day, he called a painter and asked him to paint his boat. The painter brought paint and brushes with him and began to paint the boat with bright red color as the owner asked him. While painting the boat, he realized that there was a hole in the hull( 船体 ) and decided to repair it. After he finished painting, the painter received his money from the owner and left. The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a check, much higher than the payment for painting. The painter was surprised and said, “You have already paid me for painting the boat. And it was such a small service. Certainly, it’s not worth paying me such high amount for something so small.” The owner said, “My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole to you. When the paint on the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went fishing. They didn’t know that there was a hole in the hull of the boat and I was not at home at that time. When I returned and noticed that they had taken the boat, I was desperate( 绝望的 ) because I remembered that there was a hole in the boat and I hadn’t asked you to repair it. Imagine my joy when I saw them returning from fishing safely. Then I went to the boat and examined it, I was surprised to find that you had repaired that hole. You see, now what you did?

I went there because hikes, art, and fields of corn sounded fun to me. When I set out in August, I hugged my parents’ goodbye. “See you in December!” I said. My parents nodded. They were worried — I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I had trouble reaching out. They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly. My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.” The first two weeks were difficult. I made half-hearted small talks at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than a five-mile race. I was out of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t go back. One day during the third week, I spent two hours collecting corn with one of my classmates. My feelings matched the darkening sky. I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from again?” Half an hour passed, “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness. A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends. That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find a new normal. When I arrived, people tired me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them. 24．The writer’s parents worried about her because ________. A．she disliked the program B．she was always a shy girl C．she feared to leave home D．she was a very slow reader. 25．The writer started to relax after ________. A．calling her parents B．running a hard race C．talking about books D．crying in the shower 26．From her experience, the writer learned about ________. A．the benefits of living by oneself B．the joy of leaving a comfort zone C．the value of having a new hobby D．the importance of making friends 【答案】 24．B 25．C 26．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要说的是作者参加了山区高中为期四个月的青少年项目后的变化。 【详解】 24．细节理解题。根据第三段“They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly.”可知，他们知道我很害羞，我交朋友慢。父母之所以担心作者是因为她很害羞。故选B。 25．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax.”可知，很快我发现自己在谈论我喜欢读的书。我开始放松。作者开始放松是在谈论喜欢读的书后。故选C。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find a new normal.”可知，这是舒适区的美妙之处：一旦你走出舒适区，很快就会找到新的常态。从她的经历中，作者了解了离开舒适区的喜悦。故选B。 北京市回民学校2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what colour the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!”. Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the colour of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what colour the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently coloured sides-from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 24．What did the teacher do at first? A．She shouted at the boys. B．She called the boys’ parents. C．She walked out of the classroom. D．She brought the boys to her desk. 25．How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2? A．Pleased. B．Surprised. C．Afraid. D．Thankful. 26．From this lesson, the writer has learned that ________ . A．great minds think the same B．burn the candle at both ends C．stand in other people’s shoes D．many hands make light work 【答案】 24．D 25．B 26．C 【导语】本文是作者通过亲身经历，告诉我们：当与他人意见相左时，最好站在对方的立场上。这将有助于通过他们的眼睛来看待情况，并真正理解他们的想法和思维方式。 【详解】 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other.”可知，老师一开始把男孩们带到她的桌子旁。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段“I couldn’t believe he said the object was white!”我简直不敢相信他说这个物体是白色的；可知，当托尼回答是白色的时候，作者很惊讶。故选B。 26．推理判断题。老师通过让作者和托尼在不同角度看有两个不同颜色侧面的物体，让作者明白，角度不同，看待事物就不同，所以选项C“设身处地为他人着想”符合文意。故选C。 北京市汇文中学教育集团2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中考试英语试题 The Picky Eater Howie's mother called him a picky eater.

Solving puzzles is like solving mysteries, so he likes working on puzzles too. He also likes solving problems. Kevin can usually solve any mystery, puzzle or problem. One day Kevin’s mom was trying to find her glasses. Without her glasses, she could not drive. This was a problem because she was going to drive Kevin to his friend’s house.

Jameson knew she was talking to Mrs. Kyle down the street. She had a son four years younger than Jameson and was always trying to get Jameson to play with him. Only Jameson didn’t want to play with him. He felt bored playing baby games. Jameson hoped Mrs. Kyle wasn’t getting Mom to agree to a play date. Mom said goodbye, and Jameson ran to his room. He sat down at his desk and took out his math book. His mom knocked on the door. “Jameson, may I come in?” “I’m really busy studying for my math test right now.” Maybe that would make Mom think twice about forcing him to play with Timothy Kyle. “Oh, okay then. Never mind.” Jameson heard his mom walk back down the hall. He was happy his plan had worked, but now he had to stay in his room because his mom thought he was studying. He looked outside.

They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room. For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded (破译) a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem. The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice. “We have to melt (融化) the ice ,” Lucy said. “But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained. Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped (裹) it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned. A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt. “Isn’t cloth an insulator (隔热材料)?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will finally melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.” “What about glass?” Maggie asked. “Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray (金属托盘) across the room. “This might work!” Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time? At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute. “We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you learned in science class!” 24. What’s the last challenge in the special test? A. Decorating the laboratory. B. Taking out the key trapped in the ice. C. Solving a maths problem. D. Learning a secret language. 25. Why did Travis pull off his sweatshirt? A.

Unfortunately, the boy tied the dog and threw him into a lake. Luckily, the boy’s father saved the dog. However, the next day, the boy tried to make Rocky die again. He took the dog and held him under water. The dog was saved once more by the father and was returned to the animal home. Later, Rocky was given to Rita when he was 10 weeks old. The two were always within reach of each other so they were called R and R by the family. Once, when Rita was about to enter a store, two large men rushed out of the door, crying to the shopkeeper, and nearly knocking Rita over. Rocky rushed forward, putting himself between the girl and the two men. He growled (咆哮) and the men backed off. He seemed fearless most of the time. But Rocky’s fear of water was clear when Rita went swimming in a nearby lake. He would pull back, pace on the shore (岸), and shake. When he was 3 years old and Rita was 11, she fell off a boardwalk and into the lake facedown. Her body was not moving. We can never know what went through Rocky’s mind as he stood there watching his keeper, but he jumped into the water. He swam to Rita, caught her dress, swam back to the shore, and pulled her out. Rocky’s fear of the water was certain and never became less. He continued to avoid it for the rest of his life, and no one ever saw him so much as place a foot in the lake again. He braved the water just once, for Rita, for love. 24. Rocky met Rita when Rocky was __________. A. 7 weeks old B. 10 weeks old C. 3 years old D. 11 years old 25.

He or she pushes it many miles in a lifetime. But few know or even think to ask who invented it. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time, he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers carrying the shopping baskets hard, which led them unwilling to buy more items. One day, Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention. But, Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only people could give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired（雇佣）a group of people to push carts around his market as if they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying them. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. As a result, more people came and bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers bought a greater number of items than before. Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s earliest model. Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did in 1937 before the coming of the shopping cart, perhaps the shopping cart is one reason. 24. Why did Sylvan N. Goldman invent the shopping cart? A. To sell shopping baskets. B. To make the shopping easier. C. To help customers to use it. D. To attract more inventors’ eyes. 25. What was Goldman’s feeling on that morning as customers began arriving? A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Terrible. 26. What did the real customers do after Goldman hired a group of people? A. They came and bought items. B. They copied to buy items. C. They tried to use the cart. D. They spent much money on food. 【答案】 24. B 25. C 26.

I went there because hikes, art, and fields of corn sounded fun to me. When I set out in August, I hugged my parents’ goodbye. “See you in December!” I said. My parents nodded. They were worried — I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I had trouble reaching out. They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly. My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.” The first two weeks were difficult. I made half-hearted small talks at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than a five-mile race. I was out of my comfort zone, and I couldn’t go back. One day during the third week, I spent two hours collecting corn with one of my classmates. My feelings matched the darkening sky. I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from again?” Half an hour passed, “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness. A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends. That was the wonderful thing about a comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find a new normal. When I arrived, people tired me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them. 37. The writer’s parents worried about her because ________. A. she disliked the program B. she was always a shy girl C. she feared to leave home D. she was a very slow reader. 38.

He had exactly one hour until his father got home. He wasn’t used to starting dinner this early. On his nights to cook, Jeremiah generally got dinner ready in fifteen minutes. But Dad always praised Jeremiah’s meals, no matter how simple they were. “Delicious!” he would say. But Jeremiah knew Dad liked more complicated (复杂的) dishes, because on Dad’s nights to cook, he used a ton of ingredients. Dad was a natural cook. Not Jeremiah-at least, not until tonight. It was Dad’s birthday, and for once in his life, Jeremiah was cooking something complicated: spaghetti with homemade sauce (酱). He’d eaten it a million times, so he knew most of the ingredients. “Tomatoes, onions, garlic, beef,” he thought, looking through the fridge. They had everything except the beef. No problem—they’d go vegetarian tonight. Jeremiah cut up the vegetables with Dad’s special knife and put them into the pot. Then he turned to Dad’s spice(香料) collection. He picked a few familiar ones and put them in. The pleasing smell of fresh tomatoes amazed him. He tasted it just as Dad usually did. It was terrible! Way too spicy. Aha! A lime would cool things down. He added in as much lime juice as he could. One more taste. Ugh. It was awful! Now the sauce was sour and spicy. He left the kitchen and went into his room. He could at least order pizza, so Dad wouldn’t have to stay hungry on his own birthday. As he counted his money, he heard the front door open. “Hi, Jeremiah!” Dad called. “Coming.” Jeremiah returned to the kitchen, where he found Dad digging through the food cupboard. “I’m buying pizza,” Jeremiah said. “It’s not much of a birthday dinner...” Dad turned, holding a bag of chips and a bowl of Jeremiah’s spaghetti sauce. “We don’t need pizza!” Dad smiled. “This delicious salsa(萨尔萨辣酱) is a meal in itself!” 24．Why did Jeremiah decide to cook something complicated?

One day, he saw a magazine article that interested him. It was about prosthetics (假肢), which can be used to replace a missing body part, like a hand, arm or leg. The article said people are using 3-D printers to build these devices (装置). Anderson thought this was very cool. He wanted to learn more about it. So Anderson talked to his science teacher, Dr. Holly Martin, about building a prosthetic together. The timing was perfect. Martin had just heard about a group called Enabling the Future. This group asks volunteers to help build robotic arms and legs. The volunteers build them for people who share their stories on the website. Anderson and Martin looked through the website together. They decided to help a man from the country of Romania. His name is Comel Crismaru, who lost his leg, hand and part of his arm. In February, Anderson and Martin got to work. Building the robotic arm was not easy. Anderson had some problems. He had hoped to use a 3-D printer at his school. One of the pieces for the arm was bigger than the size of the printer, though. Soon Anderson had an idea to solve this problem. He reached out to a 3-D printing company in Woodstock, Georgia. The company agreed to help. Anderson and Martin could use their big 3-D printers. After that, Anderson worked on the arm for about three months. Anderson and Martin sent the arm to Crismaru in May. In August, they received a note. It was from Crismaru’s son. He thanked Anderson and Martin for their help. Martin said she hopes children and grown-ups who hear about Anderson’s projects will realize that it may be hard to change the world, but they can start with small acts. Some of these can help a person in a “huge way”. 24．The volunteers build ________ for people who share their stories online.
