Trying a New Way to Express Elizabeth is a 14-year-old girl. She is in the seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C． Students at school are asked to do different science projects, such as building a model volcano. They get ideas from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All they need to do is to turn their favorite activities into science projects. Elizabeth enjoys doing science projects. She has designed a program using the golden ratio (黄金分割) by herself. This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s new program helps computers write data in a balanced way across the storage system. This could help it live longer. “As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says. “In the fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that time it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” Last year, Elizabeth decided to add new memory to her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in technology, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio method by running programs on a computer. But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding (编码) experience. To prepare for it, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing the things that I told it to do.” “Don’t hold yourself back,” Elizabeth adds. “One of the biggest difficulties you face is changing your way of thinking. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. In the past, I used words, then I tried painting, and now I’m using programming.” 36．According to the passage, Elizabeth’s new program is good for ________. A．the science courses B．the musical instruments C．the understanding of artwork D．the storage system 37．Before this project, Elizabeth made efforts to ________. A．draw pictures on a computer screen B．learn how to code from a textbook C．express herself in different ways D．practise gymnastics in the gym 38．What can we learn from Elizabeth’s experience? A．Science and art are totally different fields. B．We should give up when something is difficult. C．We can try new things and find different ways to express ourselves. D．Only traditional art forms can be used for self-expression. 【答案】36．D 37．B 38．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了14岁女孩伊丽莎白如何将艺术中的黄金比例概念应用到计算机编程中，开发出一种能延长存储系统寿命的程序，并分享了她从艺术转向科学探索的心路历程。 36．细节理解题。根据“Elizabeth’s new program helps computers write data in a balanced way across the storage system. This could help it live longer.”可知，新程序帮助计算机以平衡的方式在存储系统中写入数据，有助于延长其寿命。即该程序对存储系统有益。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据“But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding (编码) experience. To prepare for it, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code.”可知，她通过阅读教科书学习编码。故选B。 38．推理判断题。根据“I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. In the past, I used words, then I tried painting, and now I’m using programming.”可知，伊丽莎白从未想过科学或计算机科学会适合自己，但在学习了一点编程之后，她发现这实际上是一种表达自我的新方式。由此可推知，我们可以尝试新事物，并用不同方式表达自己。故选C。 Welcome to Happy Toy Store!

Perhaps respect often means different things to different people. There are several aspects that many people can agree on, though. For example, at its most basic level, respect means being kind and considerate (体贴的) to others. Respect can take many forms. Don’t make fun of others. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and think about how they feel. The list goes on. But the Golden Rule we all need to follow is to treat others the same way you’d like to be treated. Respect is of great importance because it sets the proper stage for all our human interactions (交流). Friendship, love, and even basic communication all must start with respect, meaning only with respect can people enjoy a better relationship. Everyone wants to be respected from the bottom of their heart. To get respect, though, you must also show respect for others. It’s always a two-way street. You can’t be impolite to others and expect respect in return. It’s easy to show respect. Be polite. Look for the best in people instead of concentrating on their mistakes. Show compassion (同情) for others and try to put their interests before your own. Make others comfortable when they’re uneasy. Help out whenever you can. When you pay it forward, unexpected things can happen. And be respectful to everyone. The world is an unbelievably huge place filled with a great number of people, each of whom is unique and special. And it is necessarily true that you need to show your respect to everyone. Be careful, though. Not everyone will show you respect all the time. In fact, you’ll probably see examples of impolite behavior every day. How you respond to impolite behavior, though, can make a great difference. If you choose to respond to impolite behavior by acting rudely yourself, you’ll gain nothing. You’re only continuing the way of impolite behavior and setting a bad example. So, it is totally wrong. Instead, act respectfully and set a good example. Always acting respectfully might help others learn from your example! 45．According to the Golden Rule, ________. A．you’d better walk in others’ shoes B．you should pay attention to your feelings C．the way you play jokes on other people matters D．the way you want to be treated depends on yourself 46．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us? A．Where to find respect. B．How to correct mistakes. C．When to help others out. D．How to show respect for others. 47．The words “respond to” in Paragraph 7 probably mean “________”. A．deal with B．forget about C．try out D．lead to 48．According to the last paragraph, what should we do if someone is impolite to us? A．Show him/her true respect. B．Leave him/her alone. C．Be kind to him/her sometimes. D．Treat him/her the same way. 【答案】45．A 46．D 47．A 48．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了尊重的重要性、尊重的方式，以及别人不尊重你时你的处理方法。 45．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the Golden Rule we all need to follow is to treat others the same way you’d like to be treated.”可知，黄金法则是以你希望别人对待你的方式对待别人，由此可推断要换位思考，选项A符合。故选A。 46．主旨大意题。本段主要阐述尊重他人的一些具体要做法。故选D。 47．词句猜测题。根据“If you choose to respond to impolite behavior by acting rudely yourself, you’ll gain nothing...”可知，给出了对待不礼貌行为的意见，推测respond to意为“应对，对待”，短语deal with“处理，解决”与之意思相近。故选A。 48．细节理解题。根据“Instead, act respectfully and set a good example.”可知，对待其他人的不礼貌行为，应该以礼相待，给他人真正的尊重。故选A。 Development in technology now ties us closer than before. We can call our friends from a thousand kilometers away. We can text. We can talk to each other at the push of a button on WeChat or other social media. There are, of course, advantages to these modern ways of communicating. However, do we ever think about what we are losing? As someone who likes writing and receiving letters, I often feel sad that so few people now give letter writing a fair chance. While you might call letter writing old-fashioned, I believe we should all write and send letters more often. To begin with, there’s lots of love in a handwritten letter. This is why texting or calling doesn’t feel as special as letter writing—it is more hurried. These days, we hope to finish everything as quickly as possible. To save time, we often use short sentences. Handwritten letters, however, deliver much more warmth because we take the time. Writing letters allows us to express to someone how much we care about him or her in a detailed way. So when we receive a letter, we feel we are loved, remembered and missed. Besides, writing a letter can make us feel happy, too. When we sit down and focus on what we are writing, we make ourselves take a break from the stress (压力) of our lives. Moreover, letters can be kept forever. We can always go back and read them again. By keeping a letter, we keep a part of that person and his relationship with us. Pick up your pen now! Write to your cousins about your school. Let your friends know how much you miss them. Let’s bring back the art of letter writing! 49．According to the passage, ________ is not the modern way of communicating in the passage. A．writing letters B．using social media C．making phone calls D．sending text messages 50．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．time saving B．letter writing C．texting or calling D．using shortened phrases 51．The writer thinks writing letters makes us feel happy because it makes us feel ________. A．we are saving an old tradition B．we are keeping a part of ourselves C．we are loved, remembered and missed D．we are away from the stress of our lives 52．By writing this article, the writer wants to ________. A．stop people from using social media B．ask schools to teach students how to write letters C．share his experiences of sending and receiving letters D．encourage people to write and send letters more often 【答案】49．A 50．C 51．D 52．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者鼓励人们写信。 49．细节理解题。根据“Development in technology now ties us closer than before. We can call our friends from a thousand kilometers away. We can text. We can talk to each other at the push of a button on WeChat or other social media.”可知，在文中，写信不是现代交流方式。故选A。 50．词句猜测题。根据“texting or calling doesn’t feel as special as letter writing—it is more hurried”可知，句中 “it” 指代前文提及的比较对象。前文将 “texting or calling（发短信或打电话）” 与 “letter writing（写信）” 对比，指出前者 “不如写信特别”，由此可知，it指代前面的texting or calling。故选C。 51．细节理解题。根据“Besides, writing a letter can make us feel happy, too. When we sit down and focus on what we are writing, we make ourselves take a break from the stress (压力) of our lives.”可知，作者认为写信让我们感到快乐，因为它让我们感到我们远离了生活的压力。故选D。 52．细节理解题。根据“Pick up your pen now! Write to your cousins about your school. Let your friends know how much you miss them. Let’s bring back the art of letter writing!”可知，通过写这篇文章，作者希望鼓励人们更频繁地写信和寄信。故选D。 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）.

Trying a New Way to Express Elizabeth is a 14-year-old girl. She is in the seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C． Students at school are asked to do different science projects, such as building a model volcano. They get ideas from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All they need to do is to turn their favorite activities into science projects. Elizabeth enjoys doing science projects. She has designed a program using the golden ratio (黄金分割) by herself. This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s new program helps computers write data in a balanced way across the storage system. This could help it live longer. “As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says. “In the fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that time it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” Last year, Elizabeth decided to add new memory to her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in technology, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio method by running programs on a computer. But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding (编码) experience. To prepare for it, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just cool to explore and see the computer actually just doing the things that I told it to do.” “Don’t hold yourself back,” Elizabeth adds. “One of the biggest difficulties you face is changing your way of thinking. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. In the past, I used words, then I tried painting, and now I’m using programming.” 36．According to the passage, Elizabeth’s new program is good for ________. A．the science courses B．the musical instruments C．the understanding of artwork D．the storage system 37．Before this project, Elizabeth made efforts to ________. A．draw pictures on a computer screen B．learn how to code from a textbook C．express herself in different ways D．practise gymnastics in the gym 38．What can we learn from Elizabeth’s experience? A．Science and art are totally different fields. B．We should give up when something is difficult. C．We can try new things and find different ways to express ourselves. D．Only traditional art forms can be used for self-expression. Welcome to Happy Toy Store! We have the most popular robot toys! Come here and have a look! You can’t miss it!

We have many big and famous shopping centres. There is a big shopping centre near my home. I like the shopping centre’s cinema best. It has the biggest screens and the most comfortable seats (座位). Could you please tell me about your home town? —Andy Zhang, 13 I come from Marrakesh, Morocco. Marrakesh has a long history, and is one of the largest cities in our country. Marrakesh is in the desert (沙漠). It hardly ever rains here. It can get very hot in summer, usually over 35°C． Marrakesh is famous for its beautiful buildings. Food is very cheap in some street shops here.   —Kabir, 13 My home town is in the north of Thailand. It’s a very small town. It is always hot, especially in summer. And it rains a lot from around May to September. The weather is not good enough, but my home town is very beautiful. You can see beautiful mountains, forests, rivers and waterfalls (瀑布) here. —Mike, 12 42．Where is Andy from? A．The UK. B．Morocco. C．China. D．Thailand. 43．What do we know about Kabir’s home town?

B．They are both very hot in summer. C．They are both high in the mountains. D．They are both in the middle of the country. We all have some people whom we respect very much, like our family members, our friends or our teachers. Perhaps respect often means different things to different people. There are several aspects that many people can agree on, though. For example, at its most basic level, respect means being kind and considerate (体贴的) to others. Respect can take many forms. Don’t make fun of others. Put yourself in other people’s shoes and think about how they feel. The list goes on. But the Golden Rule we all need to follow is to treat others the same way you’d like to be treated. Respect is of great importance because it sets the proper stage for all our human interactions (交流). Friendship, love, and even basic communication all must start with respect, meaning only with respect can people enjoy a better relationship. Everyone wants to be respected from the bottom of their heart. To get respect, though, you must also show respect for others. It’s always a two-way street. You can’t be impolite to others and expect respect in return. It’s easy to show respect. Be polite. Look for the best in people instead of concentrating on their mistakes. Show compassion (同情) for others and try to put their interests before your own. Make others comfortable when they’re uneasy. Help out whenever you can. When you pay it forward, unexpected things can happen. And be respectful to everyone. The world is an unbelievably huge place filled with a great number of people, each of whom is unique and special. And it is necessarily true that you need to show your respect to everyone. Be careful, though. Not everyone will show you respect all the time. In fact, you’ll probably see examples of impolite behavior every day. How you respond to impolite behavior, though, can make a great difference. If you choose to respond to impolite behavior by acting rudely yourself, you’ll gain nothing. You’re only continuing the way of impolite behavior and setting a bad example. So, it is totally wrong. Instead, act respectfully and set a good example. Always acting respectfully might help others learn from your example! 45．According to the Golden Rule, ________. A．you’d better walk in others’ shoes B．you should pay attention to your feelings C．the way you play jokes on other people matters D．the way you want to be treated depends on yourself 46．What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us? A．Where to find respect. B．How to correct mistakes. C．When to help others out. D．How to show respect for others. 47．The words “respond to” in Paragraph 7 probably mean “________”. A．deal with B．forget about C．try out D．lead to 48．According to the last paragraph, what should we do if someone is impolite to us? A．Show him/her true respect. B．Leave him/her alone. C．Be kind to him/her sometimes. D．Treat him/her the same way. Development in technology now ties us closer than before. We can call our friends from a thousand kilometers away. We can text. We can talk to each other at the push of a button on WeChat or other social media. There are, of course, advantages to these modern ways of communicating. However, do we ever think about what we are losing? As someone who likes writing and receiving letters, I often feel sad that so few people now give letter writing a fair chance. While you might call letter writing old-fashioned, I believe we should all write and send letters more often. To begin with, there’s lots of love in a handwritten letter. This is why texting or calling doesn’t feel as special as letter writing—it is more hurried. These days, we hope to finish everything as quickly as possible. To save time, we often use short sentences. Handwritten letters, however, deliver much more warmth because we take the time. Writing letters allows us to express to someone how much we care about him or her in a detailed way. So when we receive a letter, we feel we are loved, remembered and missed. Besides, writing a letter can make us feel happy, too. When we sit down and focus on what we are writing, we make ourselves take a break from the stress (压力) of our lives. Moreover, letters can be kept forever. We can always go back and read them again. By keeping a letter, we keep a part of that person and his relationship with us. Pick up your pen now! Write to your cousins about your school. Let your friends know how much you miss them. Let’s bring back the art of letter writing! 49．According to the passage, ________ is not the modern way of communicating in the passage. A．writing letters B．using social media C．making phone calls D．sending text messages 50．The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A．time saving B．letter writing C．texting or calling D．using shortened phrases 51．The writer thinks writing letters makes us feel happy because it makes us feel ________. A．we are saving an old tradition B．we are keeping a part of ourselves C．we are loved, remembered and missed D．we are away from the stress of our lives 52．By writing this article, the writer wants to ________. A．stop people from using social media B．ask schools to teach students how to write letters C．share his experiences of sending and receiving letters D．encourage people to write and send letters more often 第二节 阅读下面短文, 并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）.
