I argued (争吵) with Ben, one of my classmates, badly when I was in Grade 7. 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 Ben 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, Ben answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!”. Another argument started between Ben and me, this time about the colour of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Ben 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. Ben 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 thing through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.
5. How did the writer feel when Ben answered “White” in Paragraph 2?
A. Afraid. B. Surprised. C. Pleased. D. Thankful.

①Some people have to use public transport. Some dislike it and some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
②British people use trains a lot. This is especially for people who are traveling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are traveling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam.
③Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of traveling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality (质量) tests when they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (轨道).
④What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.
⑤With the development of the modern technology and transport, travelling by train may become less and less popular. But there will be always people who enjoy the good service and beautiful scenery along the railway.
13. The writer begins the passage by ________.
A. telling a story B. listing numbers C. giving a fact D. asking a question

【21题详解】
句意:我回头看了看,没明白这个问题。
question问题;book书;newspaper报纸;answer答案。前文Lori提出了“Why are there more photos of Lisa than there are of me?”的疑问,此处是指作者不明白她问的问题。故选A。
【22题详解】
句意:“我从没数过它们,我不知道,”Angelia回答道。
thought思考,认为;counted数数,计算;taken拿,拍摄;bought购买。结合语境,作者询问妻子“照片数量是否真的有差异”,妻子回应“从未数过,不清楚”,“counted”符合逻辑。故选B。
【23题详解】
句意:当Lori出生时,录像变得流行起来。
popular流行的;cheap便宜的;expensive昂贵的;interesting有趣的。根据语境可知,Lisa 出生时“作者总带着相机拍照”,Lori出生时“用摄像机记录生活”,可推断此时录像变得流行,“popular”符合语境。故选A。
【24题详解】
句意:你用摄像机记录了我们生活中几乎一切事情。
nothing没有东西;anything任何事,常用于否定句/疑问句;something某事;everything一切。根据下文“There must be hundreds of videos of Lori in the computer”可知,电脑里有数百个Lori的视频,说明作者几乎用摄像机记录了生活中所有事情,“everything”符合语义。故选D。
【25题详解】
句意:电脑里一定有数百个Lori的视频,她从没看过或者已经不记得了。
ever曾经;never从未;already已经;just刚刚。根据上文“Why are there more photos of Lisa than there are of me?”可知,Lori抱怨自己的照片少,说明她没见过或不记得电脑里的视频,因此用“never”符合逻辑。故选B。
【26题详解】
句意:让我们制作一本相册作为礼物给她。
toy玩具;picture图片;gift礼物;video录像。根据上文“Her birthday is coming,”可知,此处是指制作相册作为生日礼物,“gift”直接契合语境。故选C。
【27题详解】
句意:我们观看并挑选,直到我们满意为止。
relaxed放松;pleased满意的;interested感兴趣的;lucky幸运的。作者和妻子筛选视频制作相册,目的是呈现美好回忆,因此这里是指挑选到满意为止,“pleased”符合语境。故选B。
【28题详解】
句意:我们希望这表明她对我们有多重要。
advised建议;showed展示,表明;agreed同意;decided决定。根据语境可知,制作相册的初衷是让Lori感受到父母的重视,因此希望相册能展示她对家人的重要性,“showed”符合语义。故选B。
【29题详解】

句意:他是20世纪中国最伟大的作家之一。根据“one of the…Chinese writers”可知,此处考查固定结构“one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数”,表示“最……之一”;great“伟大的”,形容词,其最高级形式为greatest。故填greatest。
【39题详解】
句意:如果你喜欢京剧、民间音乐、杂技或魔术表演,你可以在茶馆里欣赏它们。根据“If you like the Beijing Opera, folk (民间的) music, acrobatics (杂技) or magic shows, you can enjoy…”可知,此处指欣赏京剧、民间音乐、杂技或魔术表演,they“它们”,人称代词主格,此处用其宾格形式them作动词enjoy的宾语。故填them。
【40题详解】
句意:老舍茶馆热烈欢迎来自中国和世界各地的每一个人。根据“Lao She Teahouse gives…wonderful welcome to everyone from China and from all over the world.”可知,此处指老舍茶馆热烈欢迎每一个人,give a welcome to sb“欢迎某人”,固定搭配;wonderful以辅音音素开头,所以此处用不定冠词a。故填a。

Life wasn’t easy for Penny. When she was in middle school, she wanted to go to a private (私人的) high school. But her family couldn’t pay for it. Then Penny went to a local public school and made it work. But in her senior year, she got more bad news — her dad lost his job. Her parents told her they couldn’t help pay for college.
You can see where this story line might go: Penny gives up and takes a tiring job. But that didn’t happen. Instead, she took a part-time job and worked hard.
Penny’s life isn’t perfect. She works too many hours to spend as much time studying as she’d like to. But Penny, now 21, is studying to be a special education (特殊教育) teacher.
When life knocks you down. are you able to adjust to (适应) the changes like Penny? Robert Brooks of Harvard Medical School says there are many things that teenagers can do to solve the problems.
First, stay with people who make you stronger. Don’t put up with (容忍) friends who put you down. Second, discover something you’re good at. Then you can develop a sense of pride that will help you succeed in dealing with problems in other areas of your life. Third, believe things will get better. “If teenagers are feeling down, they will feel their whole life is going to be that way. In fact, most of the problems are solvable,” Brooks says. Lastly, do some volunteer work. Helping others gives you a chance to feel you’re making a difference to the world.

I argued (争吵) with Ben, one of my classmates, badly when I was in Grade 7. 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 Ben 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, Ben answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!”. Another argument started between Ben and me, this time about the colour of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Ben 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. Ben 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 thing through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.
5. How did the writer feel when Ben answered “White” in Paragraph 2?
A. Afraid. B. Surprised. C. Pleased. D. Thankful.
6. The writer gave two different answers because ________.
A. he turned around the object B. he was unfriendly to Ben
C. he changed his place with Ben D. he wanted to have another argument
7. The writer would ________ after this lesson.
A. be angry with the teacher B. forget the arguments
C. sit in the front of the class D. be kind to Ben
8. The purpose of the passage is to tell us to ________.
A. look at things in another way B. think carefully before we do anything
C. have different ideas at any time D. be friendly to others

①Some people have to use public transport. Some dislike it and some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
②British people use trains a lot. This is especially for people who are traveling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are traveling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam.
③Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of traveling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality (质量) tests when they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (轨道).
④What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.
⑤With the development of the modern technology and transport, travelling by train may become less and less popular. But there will be always people who enjoy the good service and beautiful scenery along the railway.
13. The writer begins the passage by ________.
A. telling a story B. listing numbers C. giving a fact D. asking a question
14. The third paragraph mainly talks about the ________ of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems

A. People can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. People can do their work with personal computers on the train.
C. People have to wait till they get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.
16. What is the structure of the passage?
A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①②③④/⑤ C. ①/②③/④⑤ D. ①/②③④/⑤
