C “Come on, Simon,” said Gabe. “Let’s try out our new saucers! The snow is perfect.” “I’m not ready,” Simon said. He watched his older brother set out for the door. “What’s to get ready?” Gabe asked. Simon wanted to say “I need to learn how to steer (掌握方向) the saucer.” or “What if the other kids laugh if I mess up?” But he said nothing. “You’re going to miss a lot of fun,” Gabe said. “Come on, Simon,” said Mom. “Your brother will help you.” Simon spent as much time as he could pulling on his snow trousers and boots. His brother walked to the front hall. “Let’s go!” The brothers walked to the park, the saucers bumping against their snow pants. Simon could see the sledding hill in front of them. To him, it looked more like a sledding mountain. It was so high that he thought he couldn’t conquer (征服) it. Kids were taking turns on sleds and saucers, screaming all the way down. Simon couldn’t tell if their cries meant they were happy or scared. He knew which one he felt. Gabe was taking the steps two at a time. “Come on!” he called to Simon. Simon started up. He was both sweating and freezing. Should he turn back? But the line of kids on the steps behind him meant he had to keep climbing. At the top, the kids waited excitedly. Was he the only one who could not move his legs? His brother stopped. “Do you want me to go down with you?” he asked. When they were younger, they used to ride on one sled down the gentle slope in their backyard. Seeing his older brother’s face calmed Simon. Memories came flooding back. Gabe had encouraged him a lot in the past. But he knew Gabe wanted to fly down without him. “Are you two going or not?” a girl behind him asked. Simon took a deep breath. “I’m going. By myself.” “Good for you, Simon,” Gabe said. Simon sat on the saucer and tightly held the plastic handles. His heart was doing leapfrogs. Gabe gave him a small push on his back. Suddenly, he was moving down the hill like a wild polar bear. He had the handles in a death tightly held when the saucer spun around. But he dropped rapidly down the hill backward. Backward! He couldn’t stop. Was he going to crash? Why had he thought this was a good idea? The ground leveled off and Simon’s saucer slowed, and then suddenly stopped at the man-made pile of snow. He fell down and lay on his back, breathing hard. “Are you all right?” Gabe asked, walking over him. Simon sat up slowly and looked around. “Simon, say something! Say something!” Gabe said. Simon smiled widely. “Again?” 51. From the sentence “His heart was doing leapfrogs”, we know Simon probably felt ________. A．angry B．proud C．surprised D．nervous 52. Which can be the best title of the story? A．A Lucky Boy B．Sledding Alone C．A Magical Saucer D．Never Say Die 53. What can we infer from the end of the story? A．Simon would no longer try out the saucer. B．Simon would try out the saucer again with Gabe. C．Simon would try out the saucer again by himself. D．Simon would be uncertain to try out the saucer again. D Jack White is a 17-year-old student who has already published a collection of poetry with a local publisher. Jack believes switching (转换) to an all-boys school changed his life. “When I was at my mixed school, poetry was for girls, not boys. Boys were supposed to like subjects like math, computers, and science. When I wrote poems, the boys at school used to make fun of me. At my new school, things are different.” Jack may not realize that boys and girls also learn and think differently based on specific biological developments. These differences have an effect on how and when boys and girls learn, so single-sex education is actually better for children. Take brain development for example, the areas of the brain involved (有关联) in language, feelings, physical coordination (协调), and social relationships develop in a different order and speed in girls and boys. Teenage girls find it easier to answer the question, “How does the story make you feel?” than teenage boys. Research has shown that teenage girls’ brains develop the connections between language and emotions (情感) earlier than boys’ brains. A teenage boy will have more difficulty answering that question because his brain has not fully developed that connection yet. In a single-sex classroom, everyone’s brain is developing at similar speeds, so teachers can teach according to their students’ actual abilities. Boys and girls also have different hearing abilities. Girls have a sense of hearing which is two to four times better than boys. Women teachers often speak more quietly, so boys may have more difficulty hearing a woman teacher if she is talking in her “normal” voice. The teacher needs to speak louder to get the boys’ attention. In a single-sex school, teachers do not have to keep adjusting the volume of their voice. Jack might not notice the biological arguments why single-sex education is better, but he realizes that he is learning faster at his new school. As Jack says, “I hated writing and studying English in my old school, but look at me now, I am a published poet! My new school helped me become comfortable with who I really am.” 54．What can we learn from the passage? A．Girls usually have fewer chances to talk in class in a mixed school. B．Jack was laughed at by other boys because he was not good at poetry. C．The part of the brain that understands our emotions grows slower in boys. D．Boys’ and girls’ brains will develop at similar speeds if they study together. 55．What will probably happen in a single-sex school? A．Teachers will give lessons based on their students’ abilities. B．Students will learn and make progress at the same speed. C．Students will be expected to learn poetry as a main subject. D．Teachers will ask more questions involved in students’ emotions. 56．The words “adjusting the volume” in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”. A．controlling the speed B．changing the loudness C．increasing the clearness D．lowering the level 57．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To compare how boys and girls think differently. B．To show how a boy became a published poet. C．To explain why single-sex education is better. D．To discuss the problem of writing poems at school. 五、词汇运用（10分） （A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡相应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式 58. You can choose _____(不管什么)you like to decorate our classroom. 59.
