W: And what did your school friends think of your T鄄shirts?

They did some really good ones, and we took a photo of us all wearing them. W: Great! Text 10 I蒺d like to share an encouraging story of a boy — Darrius.

When Darrius was ten, he told his father that he liked piano mu鄄 sic very much. “ It蒺s too bad you can蒺t play, ” his father said, but the boy took that as a challenge. “ I will show people that I can, ” he said to himself. Months later, a neighbor gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practiced for hours a day. Darrius蒺s favorite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it. “ I have to come up with my own way with only four fingers, ” he said. When he succeeded, he felt so proud, later he was lucky enough to play the music to鄄 gether with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma en鄄 couraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it. And his music is popular to鄄 day. “ I may have a disability, ” he says, “ but I don蒺t let it hold me back from anything. ” 第二部分 阅读 （共两节， 满分 50 分） 21~25 ADDDC 26~30 ABDDC 31~35 BDCAC 第一节 （共 15 小题； 每小题 2.5 分， 满分 37.5 分） 21.

On the other hand, I was struck by Robinson Crusoe蒺s independence.

The program aims to help students develop science skills, environ鄄 mental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. Jaramillo蒺s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “ The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks, ” she says. “ They come to us think鄄 ing vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful. ” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new. Urban Sprouts蒺 classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands鄄 on experiments such as soil testing, flower鄄 and鄄seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried Unit 1单元测试卷 3 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools. Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “ We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they蒺re eating differently, ” Jaramillo says. She adds that the program蒺s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so inter鄄 ested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calm鄄 ing effect on Jaramillo蒺s special education stu鄄 dents, many of whom have emotional control issues. “ They get outside, ” she says, “ and they feel successful. ” 24.

Changing Local Landscape C Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low鄄income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building. Six years ago, Josh and his dad went into the Habitat for Humanity ReStore, a home im鄄 provement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11, also noticed a col鄄 lection of pennies. “ I instantly felt the urge to help out with that ，” he said. Josh set a fund鄄 raising deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100,000, but it didn蒺t shake his faith. He de鄄 voted his time to raising money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local news鄄 papers, and placed cans in stores so that peo鄄 ple could donate extra change. Josh蒺s fund鄄raising efforts began to pro鄄 duce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30,000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event in Uxbridge, which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19,000. 4 “ I didn蒺t care how long it took me, ” said Josh. “ I would raise $100,000. ” With three weeks left, a company called Josh蒺s house of鄄 fered to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh rea鄄 ched a total of $134,000 before the deadline. “ The momentum just kept going, and we de鄄 cided to domore, ” he said. “ Josh蒺s PennyHouse ” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new town hous鄄 es. Josh has helped with some of the construc鄄 tion, as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit. Next year, the 17 鄄year鄄old kid will head to college in British Columbia, Canada蒺s wes鄄 ternmost province. As an 11鄄year鄄old kid when starting fund鄄raising, Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world. No matter how old you are, if you have a dream and are willing to do anything to achieve it, it can come true. 28. Which word can best describe Josh Morri鄄 son in Paragraph 2? A. Cautious. B. Straightforward. C. Open鄄minded. D. Determined. 29. Why did Josh hold the Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner event? A. To find sponsors for a family. B. To call for more attention. C. To win approval from the locals. D. To attain his goal. 30. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 mean? A. He got more support from his family. B. His project became more popular. C.

A Boy with a Warm Heart D Experts say heavy backpacks are a health risk for kids. Like little turtles with limbs poking out from their shells, kids shuffle （拖着脚走） to school every day wearing giant backpacks. Even high school students have to bend for鄄 ward to carry their heavy books to and from school. It蒺s frustrating and looks a little silly, but is it dangerous? “ Yes, ” say many experts. “ Kids are say鄄 ing ‘ My back hurts, and my neck and my shoulders hurt ’ , ” says Dr. Karen Jacobs, a clinical professor at BostonUniversity. “ Aheavy backpack can also lead to headaches, slow or sluggish development and other physical prob鄄 lems. ” Jacobs is also a spokesperson for the Ame鄄 rican Occupational Therapy Association, which sponsors National School Backpack Awareness Day on September 16. She says that too many textbooks and less locker space are making backpacks bigger. “ Since at least 1998, we蒺ve noticed backpacks getting bigger and heavier, and not in proportion to the kids蒺 sizes, ” says Unit 1单元测试卷 5 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 Jacobs. A 2010 study from the University of Ca鄄 lifornia, San Diego, concluded, “ Backpack loads are responsible for a significant amount of back pain in children. ” The same study says a full third of kids aged between 11 and 14 re鄄 port back pain. Other research from 2011 came to a similar conclusion. “ Like the frame of a house, the spine （脊椎 ） is what keeps bodies strong and up鄄 right. Put too much weight on this frame while a young body is still developing, and it could change a child蒺s posture （姿势） , compress the spine, and impair children蒺s growth, ” says Rob Danoff, a doctor in Philadelphia蒺s Aria Health. “ It also might lead to back problems or in鄄 juries when the child蒺s older. ” Experts warn against wearing a heavy back鄄 pack, adding something can be done to solve the problem. 32. Which of the following is the best title? A. Keep Children蒺s Backs Free of All Back鄄 packs B. Less Locker Space Means Bigger Back鄄 packs C. It蒺s Time to Reduce Heavy Homework for Kids D.

The backpack maker. 34. The underlined word “ impair ” means “ ” . A. damage B. strengthen C. improve D. repair 35. Which of the following is the author most likely to deal with next? A.

Some dangers of heavy backpacks. 第二节 （共 5 小题 ； 每小题 2.5 分 ， 满分 12.5 分） 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出 可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项 为多余选项。 It蒺s sometimes hard to understand a teenager. It蒺s even harder if a teenager doesn蒺t agree with you. 36. Listen to what the teenager has to say. 37. While you may not entirely agree with what he蒺s saying, the tension will be les鄄 sened if the teenager feels like you are listening and trying to understand him. Also, he might return the favor and give you the chance to talk as well. It蒺s best to have a conversation where both of your opinions matter rather than fight and possibly hurt each other in the pro鄄 cess. Understand that while teenager may appear grown up and perhaps even sound matured, his mind has not fully developed, and he cannot think like an adult all the time. 38. However, this doesn蒺t mean you蒺re 6 completely right or he deserves to be ridiculed or treated like a child. 39. However, remember that the teenager should understand when “ no ” is “ no ” . Avoid bringing up a compromise every time you disagree on something. This might teach him that he can always get away with what he wants, whenever he wants it. If the conversation launches into an argu鄄 ment, stop it. Tell him that you both need to calm down and think clearly or the problem will never be solved. If he refuses to listen and continues arguing, step out of the room and allow time for both of you to settle down. Do not scold him or shout back. Your words will possibly be lost on the teenager since you both are too angry to listen to each other. 40. A. Come up with a compromise if the situ鄄 ation allows one. B.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writ鄄 ing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His re鄄 ply: “ Because I love your stories. If you蒺re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this. ” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere蒺s horse as my sub鄄 ject. Paul Revere was a silversmith （银匠） in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse蒺s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else蒺s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I want鄄 ed to quit. But, like Revere蒺s horse, I kept go鄄 ing. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Re鄄 vere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teach鄄 er, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “ Great. Now, write it again. ” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to Unit 1单元测试卷 9 高中英语选择性必修 第二册 （外研版） 精编版 the enjoyment of writing.
