But two years ago, an English speech competition held in my school changed me a lot. I stood on the stage for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed. From then on I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one. One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought. “There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand（伸展）their branches（枝条）. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice. To my surprise, the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public. Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society（社会）. 1 raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that l must stand up and face the truth. 59. The hall turned noisy because ________. A. the competitor got ill on stage B. they were too nervous C. the speech was wonderful D. the competitor forgot what to say 60. Why are trees in forests much taller than those in the wild? A. They are taken good care of. B. There is more water and sunshine in forests. C. They have to grow taller to receive more sunlight. D. They have enough space to expand their branches. 61. What does the writer learn from the science class? A. A good friend is like a mirror. B. Everything may happen in our society. C. We shouldn’t laugh at others when they fail. D. One should grow stronger to fit into society. 【答案】59. D 60. C 61. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者演讲比赛失利后失去了信心，在一次课堂上，科学老师向她们提了一个意味深长的问题，作者意识到自己必须重新振作起来面对事实。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed.”可知，作者由于太紧张，大脑一篇空白，所以感觉大堂很吵闹，故选D。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand（伸展）their branches（枝条）. Of course they have to grow taller than others.”和“Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight.”可知，森林里没有足够的空间让树伸展枝条，所以它们必须长得比别人高来吸收阳光。故选C。 【61题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society.”和“I realized that I must stand up and face the truth.”可知，人和树一样，需要去适应环境，作者从科学老师问的问题中意识到自己必须重新振作起来面对事实，像森林里的树一样使自己变强大，融入社会。故选D。 C Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people are still using chopsticks? Why don’t we use forks and knives? Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools. They have been used all over East Asia for over 2,000 years. They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty. Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East, South and South East Asia. They are usually made of bamboo or wood. But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools. They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (搅拌) the fire. Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks. Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives? In our mind, forks and knives are made of metal (金属). They are more similar to weapons (武器). How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables? And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot? Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What’s more, we believe in the idea of being simple. With the two sticks, we can do many things. Also, chopsticks contain (包含) the principle (理念) of “Yin and Yang”. Besides, if you take a close look at the chopsticks, you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side. So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks. That’s our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 62. Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the text? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show the importance of chopsticks. C. To describe the influence of chopsticks. D. To predict the future of chopsticks. 63. Which question’s answer can’t be found in Paragraph 2? A. When were chopsticks invented? B. Why are we still using chopsticks? C. What are chopsticks made of? D. What were chopsticks first used for? 64. What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A. Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. B. Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. C. People hold chopsticks between the two sticks. D. The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. 65. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. The History of Chopsticks B. Chopsticks and Cooking C. Culture in Chinese Chopsticks D. Chopsticks or Forks and Knives 【答案】62. A 63. B 64. B 65. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了筷子的来源，以及中国人仍然在使用筷子的原因。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people are still using chopsticks? Why don’t we use forks and knives?”可知，作者通过这两个问题引出文章的话题——筷子。故选A。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty.”可知，A项提及；根据“They are usually made of bamboo or wood.”可知，C项提及；根据“But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools. They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (搅拌) the fire.”可知，D项提及。故选B。 【64题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Also, chopsticks contain (包含) the principle (理念) of ‘Yin and Yang’. Besides, if you take a close look at the chopsticks, you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side. So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks.

Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this. Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language. “Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy and meaningful way,” said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in America depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词) . So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.” “Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now,” Hua Zhuying adds. Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you still have problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 66. How does the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 67. What's the best way to remember a foreign language according to the text? A. Remembering words in a song. B. Listening to the teacher carefully. C. Copying the words many times. D. Writing songs with the language. 68. What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Special and funny. B. Uncomfortable and noisy. C. Strange and hard to understand. D. Pleasing and easily remembered. 69. What can we know about Hua Zhuying? A. She is a researcher in a language school. B. She is interested in writing. English songs. C. She teaches Chinese in an American school. D. She teaches children English by using music. 70. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Your brain remembers a language better if you sing it. B. Many language teachers know the value of famous music. C. You will never learn a language well unless you can sing. D. Many researchers realize the importance of language studying. 【答案】66. A 67. A 68. D 69. C 70.

It helps people who can’t see things clearly. Ahyan Hassan and Hasan Rizvi made the cane for a school science competition. The cane has sensors (传感器) that can “see” obstacles (障碍物) up to 1.5 meters away. It won the first prize in the competition. “We put blood, sweat and tears into this. We were really excited to win.” Hassan told the newspaper KXAN News. The boys have been best friends since the third grade. “We have lots of things in common. We both like science and have curiosity (好奇心),” Hassan explained. “When we see something, we always want to know how it works or why it works.” Their idea came from the old canes of Rizvi’s grandfather. “My grandfather is almost blind and has bad legs,” Rizvi said. “It’s hard for him to get from place to place.” So the boys added some sensors to a cane. When they “see” things, they send information to the cane. Then the cane will shake to remind the user. “I hope this encourages other people to think outside the box, and that’s my goal,” Rizzi said. Both boys hope to become engineers when they grow up. They also plan to improve their invention to compete in more science fairs in the future. 1、2题完成句子；3~5题简略回答问题。 71.

I stood on the stage for the first time. I was so nervous that my brain suddenly became empty. No longer after I began my speech, the hall turned noisy. It seemed that they were laughing at me. I knew I failed. From then on I became quiet and always stayed alone. I didn’t want to express my ideas in public, even in class. Every time I wanted to say something, I thought people would laugh at me. My friends couldn’t understand me, and they left me, one by one. One day, my science teacher asked us why trees in forests were much taller than those in the wild. “Ha, what a silly question!” I thought. “There’s not enough space in the woods for trees to expand（伸展）their branches（枝条）. Of course they have to grow taller than others. The trees in the wild needn’t do that since there’s enough space.” I said in a low voice. To my surprise the teacher said, “Yes, you’re right. It is a competition.” My face turned red right away. I hadn’t spoken for a long time, especially in public. Then the teacher explained how trees in forests had to grow taller to receive more sunlight. If not, they would die. This also happened in our society（社会）. 1 raised my head slowly and found the teacher was looking at me. His eyes were as warm as sunshine. I realized that l must stand up and face the truth. 59.

They have enough space to expand their branches. 61. What does the writer learn from the science class? A. A good friend is like a mirror. B. Everything may happen in our society. C. We shouldn’t laugh at others when they fail. D. One should grow stronger to fit into society. C Have you ever had a question in your mind about why we Chinese people are still using chopsticks? Why don’t we use forks and knives? Chopsticks are kitchen and eating tools. They have been used all over East Asia for over 2,000 years. They were first invented and used by the Chinese during the Zhou Dynasty. Chopsticks later spread to other countries across East, South and South East Asia. They are usually made of bamboo or wood. But at first, chopsticks are not used as eating tools. They were probably used for cooking such as stirring (搅拌) the fire. Then people found it was convenient to eat by using chopsticks. Then chopsticks began to be used as eating tools during the Han Dynasty. Why not use forks and knives? In our mind, forks and knives are made of metal (金属). They are more similar to weapons (武器). How could dangerous weapons be used on the eating tables? And can you imagine how terrible it is to use forks and knives while we are taking food out of the hot pot? Then chopsticks perfectly solve this problem. What’s more, we believe in the idea of being simple. With the two sticks, we can do many things. Also, chopsticks contain (包含) the principle (理念) of “Yin and Yang”. Besides, if you take a close look at the chopsticks, you will find the chopsticks are round on one side and square on the other side. So the round side means the sky and the square side means the earth. And when we hold chopsticks, our fingers are between the two sticks. That’s our understanding of the relationship between man and the world. 62. Why does the writer ask two questions at the beginning of the text? A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show the importance of chopsticks. C. To describe the influence of chopsticks. D. To predict the future of chopsticks. 63. Which question’s answer can’t be found in Paragraph 2? A. When were chopsticks invented? B. Why are we still using chopsticks? C. What are chopsticks made of? D. What were chopsticks first used for? 64. What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph? A. Chopsticks are the perfect eating tools. B. Chopsticks contain much Chinese culture. C. People hold chopsticks between the two sticks. D. The two sides of the chopsticks mean the earth and the sky. 65. Which can be a proper title for the text? A. The History of Chopsticks B. Chopsticks and Cooking C. Culture in Chinese Chopsticks D. Chopsticks or Forks and Knives D How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this. Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language. “Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language.

On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area.” Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in America depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词) . So it's easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids.” “Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now,” Hua Zhuying adds. Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you still have problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out? 66. How does the writer start the text? A. By asking questions. B. By telling a story. C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 67. What's the best way to remember a foreign language according to the text? A Remembering words in a song. B. Listening to the teacher carefully. C. Copying the words many times. D. Writing songs with the language. 68. What does the underlined word “catchy” mean in Paragraph 3? A Special and funny. B. Uncomfortable and noisy. C. Strange and hard to understand. D. Pleasing and easily remembered. 69. What can we know about Hua Zhuying? A. She is a researcher in a language school. B. She is interested in writing. English songs. C. She teaches Chinese in an American school. D. She teaches children English by using music. 70. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Your brain remembers a language better if you sing it. B. Many language teachers know the value of famous music. C. You will never learn a language well unless you can sing. D. Many researchers realize the importance of language studying. Ⅸ. 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按要求完成71-75题。 阅读下面短文，按要求完成下面小题。 Two eighth graders from Austin, US, have created a “smart cane (拐杖)”.
