Here’s a simple step-by-step guide that’s easy for you to follow. Step 1 Choose a theme. Think about what your video will be about. It can be a story, a dance, a song, or showing how to do something. Step 2 Talk about what you want to happen in the video. You can draw a simple picture or write a short list of the parts you want to include. *You should pay most attention to these two steps.

All that month, Lia’s class had been studying different forms of symmetry, and Lia loved the topic of symmetry so much. They’d observed so many things! Now came their final science homework: to find the most beautiful example of symmetry and give a report to the class on it. “What could be the most beautiful example of symmetry?” Lia thought hard. Last year, she’d got a microscope for her birthday. Now she realized that she could use it to study symmetry. She set up her “lab” in the shed (棚屋). She wished to find the answer. Lia spent hours looking at leaves, rocks, and drops of water. However, none of them seemed to be truly beautiful. That night, she stayed in the shed until her father called her inside. “Come on, Lia. It’s getting cold outside. The weather forecast says it’s going to snow.” Lia’s heart sank (下沉). Snow meant winter was on its way. The cold weather would mean fewer things to observe under the microscope. In this town, snow would often cover the whole area. And she didn’t have much time left. Just then, the shed door was blown open by a strong wind. Suddenly, she caught sight of a single snowflake that had blown into the shed and onto the stage of her microscope. Lia looked through the eyepiece, and to her great surprise she saw the most beautiful example of symmetry she could ever have imagined. “A snowflake! Why didn’t I think of that before?” She was so excited. She peered through the microscope again, to take a closer look. However, there was nothing! The snowflake had disappeared, melted, taking all of its beauty with it. “No! Wait!” cried Lia. She had to take the snowflake to class, but how? It would melt before she could even get on the bus! Then she had an idea. Lia ran to the house and got her camera. Within minutes, she’d managed to attach a snowflake to the microscope. She carefully placed another one on the microscope’s stage and took a lot of beautiful pictures. Each snowflake was different, symmetrical, and so beautiful! That term, Lia, the girl whose snowflake photos were the talk of the school, was given a nickname by her friends and teachers. From then on, they called her Snowflake Lia. 29. Why did Lia set up a lab in the shed? A. To spend her free time doing experiments. B. To study how to use the microscope correctly. C. To find the most beautiful example of symmetry. D. To observe the interesting things in her life. 30. Why did Lia’s heart sink that night? A. She could find nothing to observe under the microscope. B. Winter was coming and the weather would get too cold. C. Her father didn’t allow her to stay in the shed any longer. D. The snow would make it harder for her to complete her task. 31 How did Lia manage to take the snowflake to class? A. She took some photos of the snowflake. B. She stopped the snowflake from melting. C. She took the snowflake to school by bus. D. She attached the snowflake to the microscope. 32. Which sentence best describes a lesson from the story? A. Teenagers need enough talent before they succeed. B. Encouragement from friends and teachers is important. C. Interest and patience help one discover the beauty in life. D. Knowledge from science books can help solve real-life problems. (C) Try to imagine a world without Walt Disney, a world without his magic and childlike fantasy. Walt Disney pioneered the fields of animation (动画) and changed the entertainment (娱乐) world. Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago. His family moved to Missouri, where they bought a farm. It was on the farm where Disney first discovered his passion for drawing when a neighbour paid him to draw pictures of horses. In school, Disney was an average student, who prefers drawing to listening to his teachers. During high school, he also spent most of his time drawing cartoons for the school newspaper. When he could find enough time, he would attend night classes in an art school. At 16, Disney dropped out of school. Later, Disney worked as an ambulance driver in France for a few years. He continued to spend his free time drawing, completely covering his ambulance with his own cartoon creations. After two years Disney returned to America and decided to finally pursue his passion seriously. He shared his dream of becoming an artist with his parents. But, his father did not support his career choice. Then, with the help of his older brother, Roy, Disney found work making print advertisements at an art studio. It was during this period that he continued to explore his passion for animation, discovering a deep interest in its potential (潜力). This led him to understand that his true talent and interest lay in animation, marking the beginning of his career in the field. At last, Disney created the world’s first animation empire (帝国) and became one of the world’s most well-known and respected entertainers. What was the secret behind the magic? The most important is that he followed his dreams. He pursued his passion, made it successful and made his work a pleasure. He met difficulties and discouragement at every step of the way, but he was passionate and brave enough to continue working towards his goals. Disney died on December 15,1966, but his legacy (传奇) carries on to this day. 33. How did Disney do in school? A. He worked hard and did very well in his study. B He drew pictures for the school to make money. C. He graduated from high school at the age of 16. D. He loved drawing more than other things. 34. Why was the working experience at the art studio important to Disney? A. It allowed him to change his mind about his passion. B. It helped him decide on his career in animation. C. It gave him ideas about the importance of printing advertisements. D. It got him to complete his most famous animation work. 35. In what order did the following happen in Disney’s life? a. He founded his animation empire. b. He made print advertisements at an art studio. c. He discovered his passion for drawing. d. He drew cartoons for the school newspaper. e. He worked as an ambulance driver in France. A. c-d-e-b-a B. c-d-b-e-a C. d-c-e-a-b D. d-c-a-b-e 36. What made Disney successful according to the passage? A. He had the support from his father and brother. B. He pursued his dream and never gave up easily. C. He didn’t want to make money out of animation. D. He enjoyed meeting difficulties and discouragement. (D) It’s common to wonder sometimes, “What if something goes wrong?” It’s important to recognize that thought and manage it, and you won’t get stuck in the worry. What are “what-if” thoughts? Worrying about the future is a normal part of life. From time to time, everyone wonders what would happen if something doesn’t go to plan: “What if I make a mistake?” or “What if everyone makes fun of me?” These “what-if” worries focus on a negative outcome. When you spend a lot of time worrying about bad things that could happen, it’s called “catastrophizing”, because you’re imagining the future could be a disaster. Spending a lot of time thinking about “what-if” makes you feel anxious and stressed. For example, you might feel tense and unwell. It might also make you not want to do things, and it can make it hard to focus on what you’re doing or what people are saying. How to deal with the worries? There are different ways you can help yourself. Dr. McMillan suggests creating an “if/then” plan. “For example,” she says, “If you have to stand up in front of the class, then you will take three deep breaths and remind yourself you have prepared and you’re OK. Or if the social event is really noisy and you feel nervous, then you can step outside for a few minutes.” Press the “pause” button and do something else to help you get out of the worrying situation. You can also identify what you’re worrying about and then challenge it. Ask yourself how likely it is to actually happen. Try thinking about what could go right. For example, instead of thinking “What if I miss the ball when I try to kick it?”, flip (翻转) that around to ask “What if I kick the ball on target?” McMillan points out that most worries never happen. “Remember they are thoughts and the bravest thing we can do is not to let the worry win.” she says. Try to focus your attention on what you’re doing. That could be the book you’re reading, the TV show you’re watching or the conversation you’re having. Getting mad with yourself will make you feel worse, so be kind to yourself. Think about how you would talk to a friend who is feeling worried and then speak to yourself in that same way. 37. What may happen to a person who gets stuck in “what-if” thoughts? A. He or she can’t make a good plan. B. He or she will have an unhappy future. C. He or she will often be made fun of by others. D. He or she may be too worried to do things well. 38. Though Lily is well-prepared, she can’t stop worrying about her test tomorrow. What should she do according to the passage? A. Ask herself what if she fails the test. B. Listen to some music and have some rest. C. Spend more time and keep working hard. D. Think about what to do when she fails the test. 39. How should one deal with worries according to Dr. McMillan? A. Get well-prepared for what may happen. B. Talk to friends who share the same worries. C. Believe that most worries will turn into reality. D. Analyze the possibility and face worries bravely. 40. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To talk about the harm of “what-if” thinking. B. To advise people to stop “what-if” thinking. C. To introduce some ways to deal with “what-if” thinking. D. To compare “what-if” thinking with positive thinking. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入41~45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 Every culture in the world has its own style of cooking and eating.
