The next day at school,they met Todd at their third-period class and asked him to come into the hall.Todd was understandably nervous about being called out by the larger boys."He wasn't smiling or anything,and I was like,'I think this is going to make you smile,"Graham says."I told him, 'We're in the same third period,and I apologize for laughing at you,and I want to give something to you to make it up."He then handed Todd a bag.Inside were clean shirts and shorts,plus a brand-new pair of New Balance sneakers. Todd was blown away."I was very happy,"he told WATN-TV."Surprised and upset,completely." And Todd got much more than a new closet.He no longer sits alone at lunch.Now he eats with his new friends,Garrett and Graham.

C On the streets of Manhattan and Washington,D.C.,in neighborhoods in Seoul and parks in Paris, ginkgo (trees are losing their leaves in reaction to the cold winter air.This leaf drop,gradual at first,and then sudden,carpets streets with golden,fan-shaped leaves.Scientists are documenting evidence of the event happening later and later,a possible indication of climate change.But the story of ginkgos is not the familiar one of human carelessness with nature. Thanks to fossils()found in North Dakota,scientists found a ginkgo has genetically similar 4 命题人：英语学科中心组 使用时间：2024年11月 ancestors dating back 170 million years to the Jurassic Period."It almost went extinct.Then humans rescued it and spread it around the world.It's such a great evolutionary and cultural story,"says Peter Crane,a ginkgo expert. One theory for the decline of the ginkgo species began 130 million years ago,when flowering plants began spreading.They grew faster and attracted more pollinators (than ginkgos."It's possible that ginkgos were elbowed out of the way,"says Crane.Already competing to survive, ginkgos began to disappear during a time of global cooling that began around 66 million years ago.By the time the last ice age ended 11,000 years ago,the remaining survivors were found in China. Ginkgo trees are smelly."My guess is that they were eaten by animals that liked smelly things. They then passed through their body and grew."Crane says.Those same seeds may have helped ginkgo find favor with humans 1,000 years ago.Once cleaned of their outer layer,ginkgo seeds are safe to eat.It's then,when the trees had long since disappeared elsewhere,that people in China may have begun planting them and eating their seeds.Then gradually ginkgos spread across the world. Now it's seemingly naturally resistant to insects and high levels of air pollution. Crane isn't worried about its future,though.The popularity of the species will help it survive. "Though its status in the wild may be difficult to access,it's a plant that's unlikely to ever go extinct," he says. 28.What may have caused the further delay of ginkgo's leaf drop? A.The colder weather in winter. B.The protection from the government. C.The global warming phenomenon. D.The careless interaction with humans. 29.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A.The reasons why ginkgos almost died out. B.The advantages of ginkgos over other plants. C.The theories of experts for increasing ginkgos. D.The competition between various flowering plants. 30.What might have contributed to ginkgos'survival? A.Their eatable seeds. B.Their unpleasant smell. C.The natural evolution. D.The careful planting. 31.How does Crane feel about ginkgos'future? A.Worried. B.Optimistic. C.Uncertain. D.Hopeless. D When I was 15 or 16 years old,I used to enjoy staring out of my bedroom window at night,at the sky and other houses.After a few minutes of focused attention,I would always reach a point where my sight changed.The clouds would suddenly look different,stranger and more real.They weren't "clouds"anymore,but different magical animal shapes that moved through space.The houses weren't houses'”anymore--they were strange geometric(几何的)structures made up of picture puzzle patterns of bricks(). It's difficult to describe the change in my sight,but it always felt exciting,as if I was seeing 命题人：英语学科中心组 使用时间：2024年11月 through to the heart of things,beneath a layer of familiarity. In most situations,our perception()is automatic.We see the familiar world,surrounded by objects and phenomena that we perceived thousands of times before and don't pay real attention to.In addition,we perceive the world through filters (of concepts.We have a conceptual label (or name)for everything we see.We label floating shapes in the sky as clouds;we label a variety of natural forms with spreading roots and branches as trees.Through filters of familiarity and concepts, our perception of the world is like a faded black-and-white image compared to a three-dimensional colour image. This is why it always makes sense to side-step our normal familiar perception and perceive the world with fresh opinion,free of concepts and expectations,looking at objects as if they had never been seen before,or as if they were other things. We can see this in great artists.They go beyond familiarity and find a new way of seeing things. Familiar everyday objects like fruit and flowers and bottles are filled with freshness and beauty in the great still-life paintings of artists like Cezanne or Matisse.To look at paintings by Vincent van Gogh, such as Sunflowers,Irises or Van Gogh's Chair,makes you feel as if an extra aspect of reality has been revealed. And of course,this is the reason why we love to go to art galleries to see such paintings.To look at them is like going on vacation to a strange foreign country,a reminder of the raw beauty and wonder of the world,hidden beneath our normal automatic vision. 32.How did the author look out of the bedroom/window? A With full attention. B.In a normal way. C.In astonishment. D.With great care. 33.What does the author really mean by saying"our perception is automatic"in paragraph 3? A.We perceive the world all the time. B.We tend to look at things without thinking. C.We have the ability to perceive the world. D.We are familiar with the world around us. 34.Why are great artists mentioned in the text? A.To introduce new ways to create art. B.To show how real beauty is created. C.To support what the author advocates. D.To argue for what the author did as a teenager. 35.What can be the best title for the text? A.Creating a New World through Art B.Looking at the World with New Eyes C.Appreciating the Beauty of Every Day D.Experiencing Life in Unfamiliar Environments 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。 6 命题人：英语学科中心组 使用时间：2024年11月 Have you found focusing on yourself is at the bottom of the to-do list,because you feel everyone else in your life comes first?36Now is exactly the perfect time to get to know yourself in order to understand yourself. This isn't just about identifying your favorite outfit,haircut or flavor of ice cream.37 It's an opportunity for personal growth that can help you make better choices for your well-being and lifelong happiness.
