How do you feel when you go to a birthday party? Do you get really shy? It’s said that about eighty percent of the middle school students feel afraid to be the center of attention (关注). Some kids are born shy. Some become shy later because of their life experiences (生活经历). It’s ok if you need some time to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. In fact, everybody sometimes gets a little shy. Most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. But some are too shy. They won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order. Some are afraid to meet new people, so they don’t like to go outside. This kind of shyness can be bad for a person. If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing anything you want to do, being shy isn’t a very big problem. Shy people are even cleverer because they think more and talk less. They are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. Some great people in history were shy, too. You see, being shy isn’t all bad. But remember not to get good chances lost. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practice your spoken English in front of others, just do it!

When they see outstanding athletes (杰出运动员) or excellent writers, they often think: Am I as capable as they are? Growing up means understanding what you can do and what you can offer to the world.

Maybe you aren’t the best, but that doesn’t make you “not special”. Think about your friends. Write down some things that you like about them. Think about why you are friends. You are going to know that in the end, though they aren’t the smartest or the prettiest or the most talented, they are great in their ways. And they feel just the same as you!

Nowadays, in summer, people have cold drinks and use the air conditioner. However, in ancient times, how did Chinese stay cool in summer? The most commonly used cooling tool was called “Jian”.

Would it be a trouble if you are busy with other things, such as taking care of your children or dogs? Now, good news has arrived for some passengers. A subway line in Shenzhen uses 3D facial recognition (人脸识别) technology to help recognize passengers. All they need to do is downloading (下载) the required app, and then they can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the gate for about 2 seconds. In this way, they can enter the subway more quickly than scanning a QR code (扫描二维码). The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. Now, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the entrance every minute. Facial recognition has been used in many other areas of our life. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self-service screen. Customers used to carry bank cards or mobile phones to withdraw money, but now they can do that just by scanning their faces at the ATMs of banks.

He played a song over and over again till the man shouted at him and left. Such things will not happen on the underground in Shanghai because of a new rule which says all passengers must not use speakers on their mobile phones. That is, if they want to watch TV shows or listen to music, they need to use headphones. If they don’t, workers at the underground station will stop them, or even hand them over to the police officer. Many people in Shanghai say the rule protects the rights (权利) of other people on the underground and creates a better environment. “Playing music or videos through speakers can be disturbing to others,” they say. “Many people need to have some peace and quiet before or after work.” People from other cities love the rule too. “It’s faster for me to go to work by underground, but I choose to get up early and drive the car,” a man says. “I just can’t stand the man-made noise on it.

Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, the ocean turned extremely terrible. That night, Hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. The next day, Natalie and her family found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and people were having the most difficult time, especially the elderly. To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped (困住) in powerless high buildings. Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick got a new collection. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed things to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. She was later invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

The avalanche is a kind of sudden natural disaster like the earthquake. During an avalanche, a lot of snow and ice rush down the mountain. As they rush, the snow and ice move faster and faster. In fact, the snow in an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour. That is almost three times faster than a car on the highway! Most avalanches happen after big storms. In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there is snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure (压力) on the old snow. It can make the old snow rush down. Avalanches are very dangerous. Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along. That can cause great damage, such as pushing over houses and killing people. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches often happen. Not many people die from avalanches each year. Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are skiers (滑雪者). It’s important for them to stay safe while having fun in the snowy mountains. Scientists can usually tell whether (是否) an avalanche might happen or not.

However, in ancient times, how did Chinese stay cool in summer? The most commonly used cooling tool was called “Jian”. It was a big box filled with ice. It was made of ceramic (陶瓷) in early Chinese history, and was later made of copper (铜). The “Jian” could be used to make cold drinks. People could put the food inside the “Jian” and cover it,and the food would become cold after some time. As early as the Pre-Qin Period, people used natural ice to keep food fresh and make cold drinks. According to the record in the Confucian classic Zhou Rites, there was a specialized department (专业部门) in the Zhou Dynasty. Every December, this department would collect blocks of natural ice and keep them in a nice house. People could easily buy iced drinks on the street during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). Some rich people even provided ice water and medicine on the street for free. Su shan was a kind of dessert in ancient China, which was made of ice with milk and butter. According to a poem, sugar was added to Su shan so that it could taste delicious Sometimes, there were some flowers and leaves on the top of Su shan. 1．What can we know about “Jian”? A．It was a small box used to make cold drinks. B．It was made of copper in early Chinese history. C．It was invented by people in the Song Dynasty. D．It took some time to make food in Jian become cold. 2．In which period did people start to use natural ice to keep food fresh? A．Song Dynasty. B．Tang Dynasty. C．Pre-Qin Period.

Would it be a trouble if you are busy with other things, such as taking care of your children or dogs? Now, good news has arrived for some passengers. A subway line in Shenzhen uses 3D facial recognition (人脸识别) technology to help recognize passengers. All they need to do is downloading (下载) the required app, and then they can enter the station just by looking into a screen at the gate for about 2 seconds. In this way, they can enter the subway more quickly than scanning a QR code (扫描二维码). The new technology greatly speeds up entry times. Now, about 30 to 40 passengers can pass through the entrance every minute. Facial recognition has been used in many other areas of our life. At KFC stores across China, customers can order their meals by scanning their faces in front of a self-service screen. Customers used to carry bank cards or mobile phones to withdraw money, but now they can do that just by scanning their faces at the ATMs of banks. With the help of this technology, the security check (安检) step in the airport can be completed in about 12 seconds, according to Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport.

He met a man nearly every day on the underground. The man was always watching TV shows on his mobile phone without using headphones. So he decided to teach the man a lesson by copying him. He played a song over and over again till the man shouted at him and left. Such things will not happen on the underground in Shanghai because of a new rule which says all passengers must not use speakers on their mobile phones. That is, if they want to watch TV shows or listen to music, they need to use headphones. If they don’t, workers at the underground station will stop them, or even hand them over to the police officer. Many people in Shanghai say the rule protects the rights (权利) of other people on the underground and creates a better environment. “Playing music or videos through speakers can be disturbing to others,” they say. “Many people need to have some peace and quiet before or after work.” People from other cities love the rule too. “It’s faster for me to go to work by underground, but I choose to get up early and drive the car,” a man says. “I just can’t stand the man-made noise on it. I hope we can have the same rule soon.” 1．Why did Mr. Sun play a song again and again? A．Because he tried to learn the song. B．Because he liked the song very much.

He played a song over and over again till the man shouted at him and left.” 可知，Mr. Sun反复播放歌曲是为了“给那位大声外放电视剧的男子一个教训”。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。第三段提到 “Playing music or videos through speakers can be disturbing to others,” 且后文说 “Many people need to have some peace and quiet…”，可见外放声音会打扰、影响他人休息或情绪。因此 disturbing 最接近 “Troubling（令人烦扰的）”。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。文章先以 Mr. Sun 的故事引出话题，随后重点介绍上海地铁“禁止外放”新规的内容、执行方式及市民评价，最后借外地人之口呼吁推广。通篇旨在解释这项新规定的必要性及其带来的好处。故选D。 Natalie Doan, a teenager in America, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. “It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says. On October 29, 2012, the ocean turned extremely terrible. That night, Hurricane (飓风) Sandy hit the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. The next day, Natalie and her family found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and people were having the most difficult time, especially the elderly. To help others rebuild, teenagers climbed stairs to send water and food to elderly people trapped (困住) in powerless high buildings. Natalie was deeply moved by all these things and decided to do something. “My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says, “but I can always choose how I deal with it.” Natalie’s choice was to help. She created a website page, matching people in need with people who wanted to offer help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick got a new collection. In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed things to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. She was later invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

The avalanche is a kind of sudden natural disaster like the earthquake. During an avalanche, a lot of snow and ice rush down the mountain. As they rush, the snow and ice move faster and faster. In fact, the snow in an avalanche can move as fast as two hundred miles an hour. That is almost three times faster than a car on the highway! Most avalanches happen after big storms. In the mountains like the Alps and the Himalayas, there is snow and ice all year round. After big storms, new snow puts more pressure (压力) on the old snow. It can make the old snow rush down. Avalanches are very dangerous. Heavy snow moving down the mountains may pull trees and rocks along. That can cause great damage, such as pushing over houses and killing people. Luckily, no one lives in the mountains where avalanches often happen. Not many people die from avalanches each year. Most people who may lose their lives in avalanches are skiers (滑雪者). It’s important for them to stay safe while having fun in the snowy mountains. Scientists can usually tell whether (是否) an avalanche might happen or not. If you are a skier, remember to pay attention to scientists’ warnings before you go skiing. 1．Which word best describes the snow in an avalanche according to Paragraph 1? A．Slow. B．Fast. C．Rare.
