I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what colour the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the colour of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing, and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what colour the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently coloured sides: from his side it was white, while from my side, it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking. 22. What did the teacher do at first? A. She shouted at the boys. B. She brought the boys to her desk. C. She walked out of the classroom. D. She called the boys’ parents. 23. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2? A. Pleased. B. Surprised. C. Afraid. D. Thankful. 24. From this lesson, the writer has learned that ________. A. great minds think the same B. burn the candle at both ends C. stand in other people’s shoes D. many hands make light work C For as long as I can remember, I’ve always looked up to my elder brother. No matter how old I am, I’ve always seen myself copying every small thing that he does. I play the video games that he plays, I copy his hairstyle, and I eat the type of food that he eats. My brother is like a superhero in my eyes. He was a straight A student at high school as well as the captain of the school soccer team. It’s been difficult trying to live up to the expectations that were set by my brother, but whether consciously (有意识地) or not, I’ll always try to be like him. He motivates (激发) me like a rabbit motivates a wolf. The wolf’s goal is food, while mine is to be as outstanding as my brother. Younger brothers can influence the behavior of elder siblings (brothers and sisters) just as much as an elder brother can influence a younger sibling. I had a conversation with my brother about his experience growing up with me. He joked with me that it felt like the world punished him with having to deal with me. Yet he expressed that he was grateful to me, because he understood I would take inspiration from him so he chose to be his best self. My brother and I have inspired each other to do the best we can. A researcher Birg Rabe has found a correlation (相关性) between a sibling relationship where younger siblings’ marks have improved because they have an elder sibling as their role model. “The younger siblings’ marks rose by 4%. The effect was greater among siblings from poorer families, and the rise was 11%.” Having a sibling undoubtedly benefits children's school achievement. Not only can siblings influence each other’s study, but they can positively benefit each other’s social behavior as well. A study done by researchers in the Brigham Young University shows that children with sound or pleasant sibling relationships have learned important social skills, such as helping and being able to share with others. They’ve also learned to deal with arguments and how to solve them. I bet anyone who has a sibling knows the struggle of having to argue for days with their sibling, but I also bet, that they learn important lessons from every one of their arguments. Even though you may hear many bad things about having a sibling, it actually has some unexpected benefits. Learn to enjoy all the benefits a sibling brings you, and be the best sibling you can. 25. The writer always copies his elder brother because ________. A. his brother is strict with him B. he wants to influence his brother C. he looks up to his brother D. his brother plays video games well 26. Birg Rabe finds having elder siblings as role models helps younger ones ________. A. make progress in their school achievement B. become more successful when they grow up C. get better marks than their brothers and sisters D. learn more important social skills than their friends 27 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The New Hope that Siblings Give B. The Great Benefits that Siblings Bring C. The Necessary Support that Siblings Offer D. The Enjoyable Experiences that Siblings Share D Clara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at the math problem in front of her desperately trying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there, her long list of homework plays over in her head, and she feels overwhelmed. She bites her lip, thinking and thinking. Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music, a wave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music. When the song ends, Clara’s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome problem and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time more calmly than before. According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs. When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”. By playing music, students can stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn’t hear or play any music. When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone. Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen’s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with their courses, making a smarter generation. Now, I know you’re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?” Well, even though playing an instrument doesn’t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make it through their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of “relaxation” time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day. Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come. 28. The words “feels overwhelmed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”. A. loses confidence B. feels disappointed C. can not think clearly D. isn’t sure about the answers 29. What can we learn from the passage? A. Music helps students to be more creative. B. Few students can relax themselves at school. C. Adding music to a teen’s day stops them from studying. D. Music speeds up the flow of cortisol released from the body. 30. According to Paragraph 5, we know that ________. A. taking a music class is hard and boring B. all teens listen to music in their own way C. playing an instrument is necessary for all teens D. all schools have a required hour of “relaxation” time 31. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To tell the relationship between music and teen’s stress from schoolwork. B. To show how important music is for teen’s good grades. C. To explain how music helps high-school students feel less stressed. D. To ask school to set a special relaxing time with music. 第四部分 书面表达 七、阅读表达（共10分，第45-47题每小题2分，第48题4分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Sport of Concentration Every day, it seems, a new gadget (设备) promises to help me run farther and faster, sleep better, or monitor my heart rate more effectively. These gadgets state they’ll make me a “better me,” or so the story goes. Some of them might actually help, but a few months ago, I decided to sell all my sports gadgets. I now record my running times with just a pen and a notepad. Soon after, I started training for a marathon the old-fashioned way—without a device on my wrist tracking my pace or heart rate. To my surprise, running without all that information turned out to be a real joy. In the past, whenever my smartwatch told me I was running slower than I “should”, I’d force myself to speed up, even if it was clear that my body didn’t want to. But this time, I ran the way I wanted to. Many times, I was surprised to see real breakthroughs in my running times when I checked my notepad after workouts. If I had seen those numbers during the run, I might have slowed down. But since I didn’t know, I just kept running. Another positive thing about getting rid of all my running gadgets is that it’s helping me concentrate more on the running itself. Since I no longer feel like I need technology to run well, I can go out and run without worrying about battery life. So, what’s the lesson here? Well, we could very easily replace the example of running with writing, studying, or anything else. No matter what it is, the more we worry about improving, the more it hurts our performance. Should you stop using technology to “improve” your performance? Of course, that’s up to you. However, if I were asked that question, I’d certainly say that I’m better off without it. 32. How does the writer record running times now? ________________________________ 33. How did the writer feel when he saw real breakthroughs in his running times? ________________________________ 34. What is another positive thing about not using running gadgets anymore? ________________________________ 35. What do you think of sports gadgets? Why do you think so? (give at least 2 reasons) ________________________________ 八、课文填空 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写一个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 I think it is important for children ____36____ (learn) how to do chores and help their parents with housework.
