A group of high school starters will explore topics with a psychologist(心理学家)，and parents will separately explore topics with another psychologist in another room.If you are unable to attend one of them,we would be happy to provide a copy of some of the content,but the ticket price will stay the same. 46.What do we know about the workshop?

We all remember that first cry at the movies.Whether they are tears of joy or sadness,it's quite amazing that human emotion can be controlled by moving images on a screen.In fact,it all comes from a plan.But what about those heart-breaking stories...for kids?They seem not to sugarcoat the realities ofthe world. Actually,many great kids'movies filled with tragedy (are purposefully meant to stir up kids'strong feelings.According to Aristotle,tragedy aids us in facing life's unsolvable problems through sensible() thinking.Therefore,the existence of tragedy in kids'movies is to teach kids to handle,to understand and to heal. The hardest lesson for a child is how to deal with loss,especially if it's sudden.The cartoon classic The Lion King tells the story of Simba,who experiences the loss of his father.Kids see themselves in Simba's character.He has dreams.He has a desire to grow and be a part of a bigger world.But it is really heartbreaking to see the loss. Why is a film like this so beloved when it makes kids cry?The lesson it teaches is to overcome hardships and to move forward.Hakuna Matatal Yes,the phrase from The Lion King is to teach kids it's okay to move on from tragic loss and not to let it define you.It's an important lesson we learned at a very young age.Sadness should not be ignored ()It's important to feel sad,and that is why these films are so great.In Dumbo, Charlotte's Web and Bridge to Terabithia,we lose our beloved characters.This quite upsets kids,but it teaches them to accept sadness and makes something new out of it. So,what is the message behind a sad kids'movie?It's meant to teach the audience,especially children,to gain their independence and how to free themselves from tragedy.It's like a cushion()that differs stories from reality.It helps children deal with sad feelings when they come for real,or at least find relief by saying Hakuna Matata. 49.Why does the author mention"first cry"in paragraph 1? A.To recommend a movie. B.To explain the reason. C.To suppont an argument. D.To introduce the topic. 50.What does the underlined phrase"Hakuna Matata"in paragraph 3 mean? A.Ignoring and accepting sadness. B.Viewing sadness as a treatment. C.Heading forward without being trapped.D.Losing oneself in tragic losses 51.What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.Children can find a way to hide sad feelings B.Children can learn to ignore sadness in tragedy. C.Sad kids'movies prepare children for difficult times D.Sad kids'movies help children to escape from reality. 52.What is the best title for the text? A.What do Sad Kids'Movies Teach Us? B.How do Great Kids'Movies Inspire Us? C.Why Are Sad Kids'Movies So Popular? D.Why do Sad Kids'Movies Sugarcoat the Reality? 第6页共12页 C When 16-year-old Kai returned to his hometown after three years,the first thing he noticed was the river. Once the heart of the village-where kids swam,women washed clothes,and old men fished-the water now ran thick and brown,with plastic bags bobbing like sad balloons."The new factory upstream dumps waste every night,"his grandma sighed,pointing to a rusty pipe sticking out of the riverbank. Kai remembered how the river used to sparkle().He'd spent summers catching minnows and watching dragonflies land on lily pads.Now,even the willow trees along the bank looked sick,their leaves yellow and wilted."We can't just watch it die,"he told his classmates when he visited his old school. They formed a group called"Clear Stream."First of all,they mapped the pollution sources:the factory pipe, a drainage ditch from the market,and villagers tossing trash.Then,they took action.On weekends,they picked up garbage,their gloves turning black from the muck.They made posters with before-and-after photos of the river and hung them in the village square."A dead river means dead crops and sick families,"the posters read. The factory owner ignored their letters at first.But when Kai and his friends stood outside the factory gates every morning,holding their posters and handing out leaflets to workers,he finally agreed to meet."Installing a water filter will cost too much,"he grumbled.Kai showed him a study:polluted water was making villagers ill, and medical bills were rising."Health is more expensive than a filter."he said quietly Months later,the filter was installed.The group kept cleaning,and villagers joined in-even the market taders started using biodegradable bags.One spring morning,Kai knelt by the river and saw a minnow dart past his hand."It's breathing again,"he whispered.That night,the village held a celebration by the water,and kids splashed in the shallows,just like old times. 53.Why did the river become polluted? A.Heavy rains caused mudslides. B.A factory dumped waste into it. C.Villagers overfished in the river. D.The willow trees died and rotted. 54.What did"Clear Stream"do first to help the river? A.They held a celebration by the river B.They installed a water filter for the factory C.They asked villagers to stop using plastic bags. D.They discovered where the pollution was coming from. 55.What did Kai mean by saying"health is more expensive than a filter"? A.A filter didn't cost much. B.The owner didn't want to build a filter. C.Health was more important than money. D.Villagers spent much money on medicine. 56.What can we infer from the story? A.Community effort is key to saving nature. B.Factories should be closed to protect rivers. C.Rivers can clean themselves without human help. D.Young people can solve environmental problems alone. 第7页共12页 0 DIn the heart of Malawi lay the small village of Wimbe,a place where most villagers lived on small farms.William,a clever and bright-eyed boy,grew up in this community. Unlike many of his friends,William was really interested in machines.He would spend hours taking apart old radios and broken mechanical pieces,studying how they worked. 2William dreamed of going to high school.He saw education as a powerful key-a key that could unlock a better future not just for himself,but for his entire family.He imagined leaming advanced techniques that could help his father's famm flourish.However,one year,a drought()hit Wimbe and the sun shone on the land mercilessly.The crops died and the community was forced into a severe famine().William and his family could have only one meal a day.Sometimes William's father went without a meal so that his family could survive. 3Despite the hardship of their life,William's spirit was not so easily broken.He began to visit the small village library.He carried an English dictionary with him,looking up every unfamiliar word,slowly piecing together the meaning of the texts. 4One fateful day,a book with a striking image ofa towering windmill on its cover caught his eye.He learned that these magical structures could capture the wind's invisible force and transform it into electricity.A powerful idea began to form in his mind.He looked out at the dry,windswept fields of Wimbe.What if he could build a windmill? 5Many villagers,especially other children,laughed at him.They saw a boy collecting garbage and called him"misala"-crazy.But their mockery()didn't disturb him.With no money for proper tools,he found old plastic pipes,a rusted bicycle frame,and an old tractor fan.But his most successful discovery was a broken generator(发电机). 6After months of tireless effort,a strange,beautiful structure began to take shape in his yard-a tower of wood,crowned with plastic blades and connected to the bicycle.The day he raised it,a small crowd gathered, their doubt hanging heavy in the air.But then,the wind blew.It caught the blades,which creaked at first,then began to spin fast.They spun faster and faster and then,the magic happened -a small bulb attached to the generator glowed with a brilliant light"'William had made it!William successfully produced electricity with those junks!Amazing..." OThat first light was just the beginning.William's windmill soon powered a small pump,bringing life-giving water to the fields and homes.The women of Wimbe no longer had to walk for hours to get water.For the first time,homes glowed with electric light after sunset,allowing children to study.William,the boy they once called crazy,not only produced electricity but also lit a flame of hope and innovation that would forever change the future of his village. 57.Why did William value education so highly? A.To become a scientist B.To repair more machines. C.To improve his family's life. D.To save the people in Wimbe. 58.According to the article,what is William like? A.Determined and generous.

D.Curious and organized. 第8页共12页 59.The sentence"The mockery turned into praise"can be put at the end of A.paragraph 3 B.paragraph 4 C.paragraph 5 D.paragraph 6 60.What is the main idea of the article? A.The advantages of a windmill in farming. B.William's efforts to change his village's future. C.The problems of drought and famine in Wimbe. D.William's process of learning advanced techniques by himself. 第二节请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 Art is food for the soul,and children learning art actually get advantages.Here are some advantages of learning art for children.
