Amazingly, two years ago, Josh didn’t use to like any sport. “I was so lazy,” says Josh. “The only exercise I did outside school was going to the shops to buy video games!” On the day before his fourteenth birthday, Josh was crossing the road when a motorbike hit him. The motorcyclist was riding so fast that he didn’t see the red light or Josh. Josh never walked again. At first, Josh thought his life was over. “I didn’t hang out with friends. I didn't answer the calls or emails. I just wanted to be alone.” Then one day he saw a YouTube video about wheelchair basketball. “It looked so exciting.” said Josh, “I wasn’t watching ‘people in wheelchairs’. I was watching great players!” Josh joined a wheelchair basketball team in Birmingham. “My family live in the city now, but we didn’t then,” explains Josh, “so I got a bus from my village every weekend to attend training lessons. Friends often came with me. I realized how lucky I was to have such great friends.” Josh wasn’t good at wheelchair basketball at first. “I fell over lots, and I felt like such a fool. I used to play ‘ordinary’ basketball at school, but that’s easy. Compared to wheelchair basketball, it’s slow!” However, Josh didn’t give up, and le quickly impressed his conch, Andy Martin. “Josh’s talent and determination are amazing. He’s a Paralympian already.” How does Josh feel about his accident now? “Differently. Yes, it changed me. In a good way! Before it happened, I was just an average teenager. Now, I’m competing for my country.” 20. What exercise did Josh use to do in his free time two years ago? A. Play basketball. B. Ride a motorbike. C. Surf the Internet. D. Play video games. 21. What’s the right order of Josh’s road to success? a. Josh watched a video about wheelchair basketball and fell in love with it. b. Josh was badly hit by a motorbike when he was crossing the road. c. Josh was chosen to play in the Paralympics for his nation. d. With the help of his friends, Josh managed to practice every weekend. A. c-b-a-d B. b-a-c-d C. b-a-d-c D. c-b-d-a 22. What does Josh learn from the accident? A. Every coin has two sides. B. Practice makes perfect. C. A good friend is like a mirror. D. It’s never too old to learn. In the animal world, the mother is usually the parent that does the most for the child. She gives birth to it and often raises it on her own. However, there are several aquatic animals that are turning this idea upside down. One of the most interesting examples of an excellent ocean dad is the sea horse. The female lays her eggs in a pouch on the front of a male sea horse. When the eggs finally hatch (孵化), the dad gives birth by pushing the tiny new sea horses from the pouch. Another father with a pouch is the Darwin’s frog. The female lays eggs and the male guards them for about two weeks. When the tadpoles (蝌蚪) come out of their eggs, the father puts them in the big pouch of skin under his chin, where they stay until they are ready to jump out into the dangerous world. The clown fish was made famous by the Disney film Finding Nemo. After the female clown fish lays eggs, the male protects them until they hatch. That’s not all. If the mother fish dies, the dad can turn into a female and be the new mom of the family. Another great ocean dad is the emperor penguin. These dads keep the eggs on top of their feet under a thick fold of warm skin. During the next two months of the Antarctic winter, these fantastic fathers go without food as they keep their eggs warm. While each of these fathers is very different, they all take responsibility for their children. These dads of the water make sure their kids have a safe place to grow so they will have a good life in the future. 23. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. How the male sea horse takes care of the eggs. B. How the female sea horse hatches the eggs. C. How the male sea horse lays eggs in a pouch. D. How the female sea horse grows the eggs herself. 24. ________ fathers can protect the eggs by turning into females. A. Sea horse B. Darwin’s frog C. Clown fish D. Emperor penguin 25. The writer introduces the topic by ________. A. giving examples B. using numbers C. listing reasons D. telling a story 26. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A. It is always the mother who does the most for the child. B. The Darwin’s frog was made famous by a Disney movie. C. The emperor penguin is an example of a great ocean dad. D. The fathers all protect their children in the same way. Dear Teens, ①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times? ②One of the answers to these questions is personality. People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes (pass on from its parents) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don’t worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better. ③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality. ④If you are very shy and don’t know how to make friends, just sell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do. ⑤It you are a sluggish person who always does things slowly, you’d better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one. ⑥All in all, don’t get too worried about your shortcomings. No one is perfect. That’s why many people are trying to change. Don’t give yourself a hard time about it all. It’s not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember “Rome is not built in a day”. Keep working at it. One day you’ll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person. Dr. Olson 27. What does the underlined phrase “these factors” refer to? A. Different feelings. B. Blood type, genes and so on. C. Family life and school learning. D. Different life experiences. 28. If Tom is a boy who always thinks of himself, what advice will Dr. Olson offer him? A. Talk to others with a smile on bis face. B. Get the joy from giving instead of receiving. C. Make a weekly plan to finish everything. D. Turn over a new leaf and be a new person. 29. Which of the following does Dr. Olson probably agree with? A. You can never change your personality. B. You can do everything quickly if you draw a happy face. C. You can make friends by smiling and talking kindly. D. What personality you have is decided by your school learning. 30. Which of the following shows the structure of the reading? A. B. C. D. 第二节任务型阅读（共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分） 阅读短文, 从A到E的五个选项中选出符合文意的句子（其中一项为多余选项）, 并完成问题。 Inventions usually make a big difference to people’s lives.

The subject of our project is Wangxingji Fans, a traditional art form in Hangzhou. To learn more about Wangxingji Fans, we visited museums and interviewed local craftsmen. We discovered that Wangxingji Fans have a history dating back to 1875. These fans are made from high-quality materials such as bamboo and silk. The process of making a Wangxingji Fan involves several steps, including selecting materials, cutting, painting, and assembling. Each fan is a piece of art, symbolizing elegance and cultural heritage. Through our research, we learned that Wangxingji Fans are not only practical tools for cooling but also significant cultural symbols. They have influenced many aspects of Chinese art and daily life. This project has deepened our appreciation for traditional craftsmanship and the rich cultural history of Hangzhou. We realized the importance of preserving these art forms for future generations. That’s all for my presentation. Thank you. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
