So when Aunt Jen invited us to her 1 spring farm party, I was really excited. I decided to make the day special, so I baked cupcakes for the party and decorated them to look like soft sheep by using some 2 . “Yummy!” My sister Indi said with a laugh, quickly stealing a candy. “That’s enough, Indi! I need those for my sheep!” “Do real sheep eat these?” “They’re just for making the cupcakes look 3 !” I laughed too. Soon, Indi and my brother Tex joined in. They 4 so many candies that their cupcakes looked more like strange animals than my sheep. “Time to go now,” Dad announced. But things didn’t go 5 as usual. First, Tex couldn’t find his shoes. Then Mom realized she’d 6 her wallet at home. Halfway to Aunt Jen’s, Indi suddenly needed a bathroom. We had to take a long way to find one. Dad then 7 a new back road, but it only led us farther away. As we were in the middle of nowhere, our car started making a strange noise and 8 . “Help won’t come for at least an hour,” Mom said, sounding 9 . “Now we’ll 10 the whole party!” Tex complained. Dad smiled and pointed to a field full of colorful flowers. “Why not have our own picnic here?” At first, we weren’t excited about it, but as we 11 the blanket and started eating, something amazing happened. A huge butterfly gently landed on Indi’s knee. Nearby, two small rabbits 12 across the grass, happily eating. Suddenly, we heard a loud rustling, and hundreds of birds shot up from the trees, flying into the sky in huge circles above us. “Wow!” I cried. “It’s like 13 !” “Migration (迁徙) season,” Dad said. “These birds travel through California every spring—millions of them!” We never made it to Aunt Jen’s farm, 14 that didn’t matter. Sitting in that field, enjoying my cupcakes under the open sky, I understood something important: when things don’t work out, disappointments (失望) may 15 unexpected wonders. Keep your eyes open, and you might find joy right under your nose! 1．A．daily B．weekly C．monthly D．yearly 2．A．candies B．bananas C．tomatoes D．flowers 3．A．fresh B．cute C．clear D．sweet 4．A．bought B．made C．added D．ordered 5．A．badly B．freely C．quietly D．smoothly 6．A．found B．left C．brought D．checked 7．A．tried B．marked C．mentioned D．repaired 8．A．appeared B．arrived C．stopped D．dropped 9．A．excited B．tired C．relaxed D．surprised 10．A．change B．organize C．share D．miss 11．A．spread out B．handed out C．cut out D．carried out 12．A．rode B．flew C．jumped D．climbed 13．A．wind B．magic C．music D．fog 14．A．and B．or C．but D．so 15．A．hide B．lose C．forget D．avoid Keys: DABCD BACBD ACBCA 阅读理解 “Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 1．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 2．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 3．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 4．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. Keys:DBCA 阅读与回答问题 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention—the telephone. For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just make calls! The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备) had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio towers across the country to pass signals (信号) easily. Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks. The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.” Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them. Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next? Only time will tell! 请将答案写在答题卡上。 1．When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? 2．Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s? 3．Who made the first real mobile phone call? 4．How can smartphones help us in our lives? (请给出两个例子) 5．What do you think the future phones might be like? (请自拟一句话作答) Keys: 1. In 1876. 2. To pass signals easily. 3. Dr.Martin Cooper. 4. We can take photos and watch videos with them. 5. They might be as small as an eraser./They could be used as daily tools like wallets or keys./Future phones might be connected to our brains./They can show our ideas directly./... 首字母填空 About 160 years ago, the Austrian scientist Mendel did many important experiments (实验) with pea plants. After eight years of careful r 1 , he finally discovered the basic rules of inheritance (遗传). This helped him make great p 2 in the study of biology. But for the next hundred years, people still didn’t know why some pea plants were tall while some were short. Then, amazing news came! A group of international scientists worked t 3 and found more. This team was led by two great scientists, Cheng Shifeng from China and Noel Ellis from the UK. They shared information from their experiments, talked about problems, and tried different ways to s 4 these problems. The scientists used modern scientific tools to look at Mendel’s 1865 experiments again. They wanted to learn more about the genetic (基因的) changes. So, after 2019, they grew more than 700 k 5 of peas from Britain in China. They built special greenhouses to study the plants. Finally, they discovered the changes in pea genetics. What a great s 6 they achieved! Cheng Shifeng, the group’s lead scientist said, “Mendel found out the rules of inheritance many years ago, but he didn’t know what a gene was and h 7 it worked. Now we can see the changes clearly from the study.” Scientists once tried to e 8 why some pods (豆荚) are green and others yellow. This study has found out some secrets about genes in DNA. The genes can c 9 the colours of peas. This study shows that with modern scientific tools, nowadays we can understand the genetic world b 10 . It’s a great example of how we keep working out the mysteries of nature.

Nobody talked much during breakfast. Mrs March was pale and tired. The girls tried to hide their tears. Then Mr Brooke arrived with the carriage and it was time for Mrs March to leave. She kissed her daughter one by one and said, “Keep busy, my dears, and never lose hope!” “Yes, Mother.” “Meg, look after your sisters. If you need help, ask Hanah or Mr Laurence. Jo, be patient and cheerful, and write to me often. Beth and Amy, help with the housework and be obedient (顺从的).” “Yes. Mother! Don’t worry!” She got into the carriage and opened the window. “Goodbye, my dears!” she called as it drove away. The girls waved their hands cheerfully until the carriage turned the corner. Then, with sad faces and heavy hearts, they went back inside. “The house seems very empty now,” said Meg. “Our motto is ‘Hope and keep busy’”, said Jo brightly. She was trying to forget how sad she was feeling. “So I’m going to go and see Aunt March. What about you, Meg?” “I’m going to teach the King children,” replied Meg. “And Amy and I are going to help Hannah with the housework,” said Beth. “I think anxiety (焦虑) is very interesting,” Amy said seriously. Her words made her sisters laugh, and they all started to feel a little better. For a week the girls kept to her motto and worked hard. Then Jo got a bad cold, and had to stay at home. She didn’t mind this at all because she didn’t like going to Aunt March’s. She was happy to lie on the sofa all day with her books and medicine. Amy got bored with doing housework so she took out her pencils and drawing book again. Meg went to teach the King children every day, and sewed. She spent the rest of her time writing long letters to her mother and reading the letters from Mr Brooke. Only Beth continued to look after the house. She did her own jobs and her sister’s jobs too.

They went down to the river, and made a camp. White Fang was amazed by what he saw the men do. They were the masters of things not alive. Their tent was especially strange and big to him. White Fang explored the camp. He met a puppy, who was older than him, called Lip-lip. White Fang wanted to be friendly, but Lip-lip suddenly attacked him. They became enemies. White Fang’s mother wanted him to stay with her, but White Fang was curious and soon he was exploring again. Gray Beaver was doing something important with two sticks and some grass. Women and children carried sticks and branches to him. White Fang saw something like mist (雾状物) coming from the sticks and branches, and then, something bright like the sun appeared, and grew. White Fang went towards this bright thing with his nose, and touched it with his tongue. Then he jumped into the air, yelping. Gray Beaver laughed, and told everybody, so they all started laughing, too. Kiche started snarling loudly, but she could not get to her cub because of the rope. Poor White Fang sat there crying in the middle of the laughing men. Their laughter hurt him more than the pain. He went back to his mother and lay down beside her. As night came, he felt sad.

A morning call wakes up Marco. He doesn’t get up so e 1 at home in Los Angeles. Well, maybe to eat breakfast once in a while but never to herd (放牧) cows and sheep! But Marco isn’t at home. He is in Africa, on the grasslands of Kenya (肯尼亚). He is living with the herdsmen. “Life is very different in Kenya. People live a peaceful life here on the grasslands. They can’t afford TVs, cars or mobile phones. They make a living m 2 by herding cows and sheep,” Marco says. Marco’s trip to Africa isn’t a h 3 . It’s part of the school project for the biology c 4 at Sunshine School. The school hopes the students will have more life experiences. They have never been to Africa. Kenya is a country which is c 5 new to the students from Los Angeles. When the students get there, they put on local clothing. Boys herd cows. Girls collect firewood and water. Families depend on their cows. As a result, the herdsmen and the students have to m 6 from one area to another so that the cows have more grass to eat. Now in Los Angeles, Kenya is on the minds of the students at Sunshine School all year. Disasters have killed many cows in Kenya, so the students d 7 to raise money to buy cows for the local people.
