Everything Sad Is Untrue By Daniel Nayeri, US It is an autobiography (自传) about the writer’s own experiences as an immigrant (移民) to the USA．Young Daniel went to a middle school in an American town, where he was the only Italian kid. Everyone thought he was different. To make people understand him, he told them his family’s stories. This book explores what it feels like to leave one’s home country. Stars of Wonder By Rebecca Bruff, US Bruff makes up an interesting adventure (冒险) story in the book. Five children, three princes (王子)—Jonah, Nathan, Jacob, a princess (公主)—Phoebe, and their friend Sumar travel toward a bright star-Star of Wonder. During their journey, they have to face a lot of difficulties, but the children work together to overcome difficulties and finally see the star with their own eyes. 51．The four recommended books are all ________. A．written by American writers B．recommended especially for adults C．suitable for children to read D．stories of the writers’ own experiences 52．If you’re interested in adventure stories, you’d better choose ________. A．Meet the Georgians B．Stars of Wonder C．Everything Sad Is Untrue D．Solutions and Other Problems 53．What can you learn from the passage above?

C．Daniel Nayeri had to leave Italy for the UK with his family at a very young age. D．All the five main characters in “Stars of Wonder” are from the royal (皇家的) family. B Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once. The tiger roared around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast, so it was afraid and started running wildly. People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!” Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot?

It is a practice called shinrin—yoku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine or air of the forest”. It has recently grown more popular worldwide. When people take time in the natural green world to “be” in a fully present way, studies show it does good to health. One of the good things of taking a walk in nature is getting away from screens. When we enjoy nature, we keep ourselves away from computers or mobile phones. We take a break and allow ourselves to get strength and energy back. During forest bathing, we are slowing down, stopping making quick decisions, experiencing the pleasure of nature through all of our senses, enjoying being alive and enjoying just the present moment. In fact, forest bathing is also becoming a more and more popular way of treating stress (压力). Forest bathing is believed to help those experiencing stressful situations. In one recent study, people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries. At the same time bathing in forest air produces more natural killer—NK cells (细胞) in our blood. Our body uses these NK cells to fight illness. One Japanese study showed a rise in the number and activity of these NK cells among people who forest bathe. Plants and trees in forests can also send out something called phytoncides (植物杀菌剂). This tree oil can not only protect plants and trees themselves, but also help people sleep well, lift mood(心情) and attention, bring joy and boost health. Forest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s not a one-and-done quick fix. Studies in England on green spaces showed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with good health. It doesn’t matter if you break up the two hours into shorter walks in a local park filled with lots of trees or spend an afternoon in a forest. Taking a quick walk through nature and rushing through the activity to get back to work, let’s say, may not be as helpful. Nor is it advised to play loud music as you walk. Forest bathing shows a different way of life. You’re walking through nature in a forest and taking your time. You’re enjoying a relaxing and meaningful life. 58．According to the passage, during forest bathing people may ________. A．think only of the past moment B．make decisions more quickly C．spend less energy to take exercise D．keep themselves away from worries 59．The underlined word “boost” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．risk B．improve C．hurt D．offer 60．About forest bathing, the writer might agree that ________. A．people should form a habit of walking in nature B．playing light music while walking can be helpful C．walking for at least 2 hours every time is necessary D．NK cells and phytoncides are both produced in plants 61．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How can we enjoy forest baths in nature? B. Is it helpful or unhelpful to forest bathe? C．Forest bathing is a great help from nature. D. Forest bathing is a way to change nature. D Understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Scientist have found the brain’s physical state and changes can lead to behavioral differences across ages and genders (性别). Around the age of 12, the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells (细胞) in the brain that are not used will slowly die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. How young people spend their time is of great importance. Different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may explain why car accidents among young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex (复杂的) judgments while driving. ___________. Girls are ready to process(处理)more challenging information earlier than boys. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls usually do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills. This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. 62．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because ________. A．they fail to realize the importance of skills. B．They don’t have the necessary skills in driving. C．certain areas in their brains are not fully developed. D．their brains might be influenced by their emotions. 63．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A．Cells in the brain that are not used will probably die. B．How brains develop has to do with language skills. C．Boys and girls should be taught differently in school. D．The way brains develop has to do with gender. 64．What can we learn from the passage? A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties. B．Girls are better at language because they work harder. C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life. D．Gender doesn’t matter when it comes to the physical state of the brain. 65．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Maps of the Brain B．The Developing Brain C．The Wonderful Brain D．Genders and the Brain 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共60分) 五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分） 66.

Getting the thick book was the greatest honor for children. So they were busy reciting every day. To Tom, it's impossible, so he thought of a simple way. He exchanged his small things in other children's hands. In this way, he got many tickets. At the beginning of the class, the 35-year-old teacher made a daily speech. Tom was playing with the boys around him. He pulled a boy's hair and pinned another, but when they turned around, he just read the book carefully, but the children began to talk noisily. Some children even began to fight. Suddenly, the room turned silent because some visitors came into the room. Three adults and one young girl entered. To Tom's surprise, the little girl was just the "angel". Tom thought of his meeting with the girl and the adventure in her garden. Among the visitors, the old man was somebody. Then it was the time to give prize to those children who had got ten yellow tickets. The room was quiet. Nobody had enough tickets. When hope was dead, Tom stood up with nine yellow tickets. nine red ones and ten blue ones. Then, children suddenly realized that they were cheated by Tom. The teacher didn't believe Tom could get so many tickets, but the number of tickets was exact. The prize was given to Tom Sawyer and he was introduced to the old man. --From The Adventures of Tom sawyer 76. What will students get if they have 10 yellow tickets? 77.

Here’re some English ones, especially for kids. Meet the Georgians By Robert Peal, UK The writer, a history teacher from London, writes about different people and places from the 18th century. He wants to show the readers a “wild time” in British history. A book review says that this book is the best one for kids to become interested in British history. Solutions and Other Problems By Allie Brosh, US This is a popular graphic (配图的) novel. The writer uses a special art style to tell some heartbreaking stories. All the characters in the book express their feelings in a funny childlike way. In fact, Everyone has a hidden part inside and we have to let it out sometimes in a funny way. Everything Sad Is Untrue By Daniel Nayeri, US It is an autobiography (自传 ) about the writer’s own experiences as an immigrant (移 民 ) to the USA． Young Daniel went to a middle school in an American town, where he was the only Italian kid. Everyone thought he was different. To make people understand him, he told them his family’s stories. This book explores what it feels like to leave one’s home country. Stars of Wonder By Rebecca Bruff, US Bruff makes up an interesting adventure (冒险) story in the book. Five children, three princes ( 王 子 )—Jonah, Nathan, Jacob, a princess ( 公 主 )—Phoebe, and their friend Sumar travel toward a bright star-Star of Wonder. During their journey, they have to face a lot of difficulties, but the children work together to overcome difficulties and finally see the star with their own eyes. 51．The four recommended books are all ________. A．written by American writers B．recommended especially for adults 初二年级 英语学科 第5页，共 8 页 C．suitable for children to read D．stories of the writers’ own experiences 52．If you’re interested in adventure stories, you’d better choose ________. A．Meet the Georgians B．Stars of Wonder C．Everything Sad Is Untrue D．Solutions and Other Problems 53．What can you learn from the passage above? A．Meet the Georgians is a book talked about people and places in the 2000s B．You may have a sense of sadness and humor when reading Allie Brosh’s novel. C．Daniel Nayeri had to leave Italy for the UK with his family at a very young age. D．All the five main characters in “Stars of Wonder” are from the royal (皇家的) family. B Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once. The tiger roared around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast, so it was afraid and started running wildly. People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!” Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost frightened to death?” He said to himself. 54．The young man went to the village ________. A．to travel B．to visit friends C．on business D．for holiday 55．The young man’s family warned him of ________. A．fierce beasts B．terrible traffic C．cold weather D．foolish people 56．How did the young man feel when he saw the tiger? A．Excited. B．Afraid. C．Surprised. D．Bored. 57．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs ? A. People on the road were wise B. The young man was very brave. C. We shouldn’t admire others blindly. D.The young man shouldn’t listen to his family. C Forest bathing began in Japan in the 1980s. It is a practice called shinrin—yoku, which can be translated as “taking in the medicine or air of the forest”. It has recently grown more popular worldwide. When people take time in the natural green world to “be” in a fully present way, studies show it does good to health. One of the good things of taking a walk in nature is getting away from screens. When we enjoy nature, we keep ourselves away from computers or mobile phones. We take a break and allow ourselves to get strength and energy back. During forest bathing, we are slowing down, stopping making quick decisions, experiencing the pleasure of nature through all of our senses, enjoying being alive and enjoying just the present moment. In fact, forest bathing is also becoming a more and more popular way of treating stress (压力). Forest bathing is believed to help those experiencing stressful situations. In one recent study, people who formed the habits of walking through forests had lowered blood pressure (血压) and got out of worries. At the same time bathing in forest air produces more natural killer—NK cells (细胞) in our blood. Our body uses these NK cells to fight illness. One Japanese study showed a rise in the 初二年级 英语学科 第6页，共 8 页 number and activity of these NK cells among people who forest bathe. Plants and trees in forests can also send out something called phytoncides (植物杀菌剂). This tree oil can not only protect plants and trees themselves, but also help people sleep well, lift mood(心情) and attention, bring joy and boost health. Forest bathing needs repeated practice. It’s not a one-and-done quick fix. Studies in England on green spaces showed that spending at least 120 minutes a week in nature helps with good health. It doesn’t matter if you break up the two hours into shorter walks in a local park filled with lots of trees or spend an afternoon in a forest. Taking a quick walk through nature and rushing through the activity to get back to work, let’s say, may not be as helpful. Nor is it advised to play loud music as you walk. Forest bathing shows a different way of life. You’re walking through nature in a forest and taking your time. You’re enjoying a relaxing and meaningful life. 58．According to the passage, during forest bathing people may ________.

D Understanding behavior has much to do with understanding the brain. Scientist have found the brain’s physical state and changes can lead to behavioral differences across ages and genders (性 别). Around the age of 12, the areas of the brain that are used most will be strengthened and cells (细胞) in the brain that are not used will slowly die. What you do with your brain in your teen years probably decides how your brain will work for the rest of your life. How young people spend their time is of great importance. Different from earlier beliefs, the brain is still developing even in the early twenties. Areas of the brain that are related to emotion, decision making, reasoning, and problem solving are still not fully developed. This may explain why car accidents among young people are significantly higher than those among older people. Young people don’t have the necessary skills to make complex (复杂的) judgments while driving. ___________. Girls are ready to process(处理)more challenging information earlier than boys. In addition, studies have shown that girls and boys process language input in different parts of their brains. Girls usually do better than boys in language, which means that they have more brain matter responsible for language skills. This kind of research raises important questions about how boys and girls should be taught in school. For example, the idea of single-sex education should perhaps be taken into consideration. Experts say that we would do well to revisit the timing of the subjects taught in school, as some parts of the brain develop before others. 62．According to the passage, young people are more likely to have car accidents because ________. A．they fail to realize the importance of skills. B．They don’t have the necessary skills in driving. C．certain areas in their brains are not fully developed. 初二年级 英语学科 第7页，共 8 页 D．their brains might be influenced by their emotions. 63．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A．Cells in the brain that are not used will probably die. B．How brains develop has to do with language skills. C．Boys and girls should be taught differently in school. D．The way brains develop has to do with gender. 64．What can we learn from the passage? A．Earlier beliefs show the brain is still developing in the early twenties. B．Girls are better at language because they work harder. C．How people spend their time when they’re teenagers affects their future life. D．Gender doesn’t matter when it comes to the physical state of the brain. 65．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．Maps of the Brain B．The Developing Brain C．The Wonderful Brain D．Genders and the Brain 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共 60分) 五、词汇运用（共 10小题；每小题 1分，计 10分） 66.
