They were ceramic (陶瓷) artists and good at making pots (罐子). They heard city people liked pots, so they decided to sell their pots to a big city. Through more than ten years of hard work, they made the best pots in the town. They hired a ship to take all the pots to the city. Unluckily, the ship met a strong storm on the way. After the storm, the ship landed. All the pots were broken into pieces. The two men’s dream of becoming rich was broken along with the pots. Jim suggested that they should stay in a hotel for the night and walk around the city to enjoy the sights the next day. Jack looked at Jim in pain and asked, “You still want to go around the city? Don’t you show any care to these pots? We worked so hard to make them!” “We are unlucky enough to lose the pots. We will be more unlucky if we lose happiness,” Jim said calmly. Jack thought for a while and nodded. The next day, he followed Jim around the city and had a good time for a few days. During their stay in the city, they found by accident that people there decorated their walls with things that looked like what they used to make pots. So Jim and Jack used the broken pots to make mosaic tiles (马赛克瓷砖) and sold them to the city people. In this way, they made much money and returned home happily. 49. Why didn’t Jim and Jack realize their dream according to Paragraph 3? A. Their pots were not good. B. City people didn’t like pots. C. They lost the way to the city. D. Their pots were broken into pieces. 50. What did Jim and Jack do to make money at last? A. Sell pots. B. Decorate walls. C. Make pots. D. Sell mosaic tiles. 51.

C The scientific method is used for simple experiments that students may do in the classroom or very difficult experiments that scientists are doing all over the world. It is a way of thinking that helps you to avoid drawing incorrect conclusions. There are usually four steps in the scientific method, including observation (观察)， hypothesis (假设)，experiment, and conclusion. The steps may not always be completed in the same order, but the first step is usually observation and asking a question about your observation. For example, you had a sick stomach, and ate a candy bar. An hour later, you observed that you felt much better. Here, you can ask a question, such as, “What makes a sick stomach feel better?” The second step is to state a possible answer to the question, or a hypothesis, such as “__________” A good hypothesis includes three things: The explanation for the observations, it is able to be tested, and it will usually predict new outcomes or conclusions. The third step is the experiment, to test the hypothesis. An experiment is a test which will either challenge or support the hypothesis. The hypothesis will then be true or false. The final step is to think about what happened when you tested the hypothesis and draw a conclusion. The conclusion will either clearly support the hypothesis or it will not. If the results support the hypothesis, a conclusion can be written and you can share it with the rest of the world. If it does not support the hypothesis, you may choose to change the hypothesis or write a new one based on what was learned during the experiment. 52. Which sentence best express the main idea of the passage? A. How do the four basic steps in the scientific method work? B. What makes a good hypothesis based on the observation? C. The conclusion will always clearly support the hypothesis. D. Learning the scientific method may help students succeed in science. 53. Which sentence should go in “__________” in Paragraph 3? A. A candy bar makes a sick stomach feel better. B. It was the medicine you took an hour earlier that made you feel better. C. Eat a candy bar again, and see what happens to your sick stomach. D. Ask people if eating a candy bar has made a sick stomach feel better. 54. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to (指的是)? A. The hypothesis. B. The conclusion. C. The question. D. The observation. 55. Which of the following sentences about the experiment is TRUE? A. An experiment is a test to always support the hypothesis. B. An experiment does not have to be part of the scientific method. C. An experiment is a test to either challenge or support a hypothesis. D. An experiment is only used when scientists are trying to prove a hypothesis. D Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff (职员)? Would you say “Good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change. The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The Invisible (隐身的) are Significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff on campus. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social issues. “My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 per cent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 per cent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed interactions (互动) between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),” said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.” The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching staff. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around campus. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their interaction. “We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.” “The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” said Ding. 56. Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project “The Invisible (隐身的) are Significant”? A. To win a prize at the competition China Thinks Big. B. To help non-teaching staff at his school find other jobs. C. So more students would see and respect non-teaching workers. D. To draw students’ attention to important social issues. 57. What does the underlined word “Significant” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Interesting. B. Important. C. Imaginative. D. Creative. 58. What are Paragraphs 3-4 mainly about? A. What jobs non-teaching workers do. B. How asking questions helps students learn. C. How Ding’s team worked on their project. D. Why many students don't follow school rules. 59. According to the passage, what did Ding’s team do to help other students know more about the non-teaching staff on their campus? a. They made posters. b. They shot videos. c. They made a series of stickers d. They held a basketball match. A. abc B. abd C. acd D. bcd 60. What can we learn from the passage? A. High school students care more about the non-teaching staff. B. Students should treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff. C. Better communication can help students value the teaching staff. D. Young people love to make stickers of the people around them. 第二卷（非选择题）（共50分） 五、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。 61. The job ____________(要紧) more to him than anything else. 62.

In February, the Ministry of Education announced that mobile phones should, in principle, be banned in primary and secondary schools. This aims to protect students’ eyesight, make sure they focus on their schoolwork and won’t become addicted (上瘾的) to the Internet and online games. Xu Xiaohe, a 13-year-old from Zhejiang, is a supporter of the policy. “In fact, my school has never allowed us to bring our mobile phones,” Xu said “It’s a distraction (干扰) from our work, Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.” Li Zihan from Beijing, however, feels differently. The 13-year-old believes that a mobile phone ban is too simplistic (简单化的) for a generation that have grown up with mobile phones. “Students should be taught self-management skills, as well as learn how to use their phones well to help with their studies,” “Li said. “That might be the best way to deal with technology in modern times.” For Ge Ziqi, the problem with banning mobile phones has more to do with life outside of school. The 13-year-old Beijinger uses a bike-sharing app every day to travel between her home and school. “Today, phones are used everywhere, from taking a bus to buying food,” she said. “If I can’t take my phone with me, I will have to buy my own bicycle.” Some schools have come up with ideas to solve problems like Ge’s. At Shanghai Shatian School, for example, students are asked to put their phones in special lockers during school hours. The students call these lockers the “phone farm” or “phone tarmac” (停机坪). School ban phones The policy It was announced that mobile phones should, in principle, be banned in primary and secondary schools. ________(76) · To protect students’ eyesight. · To make sure students pay all the ________(77) to their work. · To ________(78) students from becoming addicted to the Internet and online games.
