Any time you try something different to solve a problem, you’re being creative. In sports, that might mean trying new moves to score a goal for your team. In engineering, that might mean using different materials to protect an egg. At home, it could mean figuring out a shortcut to get to your friend’s house or making up a game to entertain yourself. You are creative every day! Are some people naturally more creative than others? Maybe, but anyone can become more creative with practice. Here are some skills that work for professional people who are creative in very different ways. ► Explore and imagine Shigeru Miyamoto works for Super Mario Bros, one of the world’s most popular video games. He spent hours exercising his creativity by exploring nature and going on adventures in his mind. He finds joy in making up new worlds and adventures to design new games. ► Mix it up Dr. Oxman and her team mix things that don’t usually go together: For example, they mixed ideas from common robots and insects when they invented small robots. Dr. Oxman said she often doubted her ideas. If you come up with ideas you’re not sure about, don’t worry. ► Keep creating Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote the songs for Disney’s movie Moana. In an interview, he was asked the key to creating new songs. His answer: “Keep writing new songs!” ► Don’t fear failure Researchers have found that the most creative people don’t wait for the perfect idea. They constantly (不断地) come up with new ideas, and then keep the best of them. That means they often have many “bad” ideas that cannot be used. However, like most inventors and scientists, creative people ________________________. 1．Where can you use creative thinking, in art classes or at home? 2．What is Shigeru Miyamoto’s job? 3．Why are Dr. Oxman’s small robots special? 4．What is Miranda’s secret to being creative? 5．Why does the author use the examples of Shigeru Miyamoto, Oxman and Miranda? 6．What can be put into the blank to complete the last sentence? In the cultural heart of Paris, along the streets of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, an elderly man’s cheerful voice often rings out: “France is getting better!” Ali Akbar, now 73, has been selling newspapers here for decades (十年). With copies of Le Monde under his arm, he walks through the Left Bank, creating his own catchy headlines to attract customers. “I do it to create a good mood,” he says. “I want people to live happily.” Akbar came to France in 1973 and began working as a newspaper hawker. Unlike others who stayed in busy spots, he chose to walk around the sixth arrondissement (区), a university area near the River Seine (塞纳河). He remembers learning French by chatting with students. Over time, he became a beloved part of the neighborhood. “Even regular tourists ask where he is if they don’t see him,” says Amina Qissi, a local waitress. Though Paris once had about 40 hawkers, Akbar stood out with his energy and optimism. His hard work was finally recognized by the country, and he even received a high national honor from the French government. Akbar believes this honor ________. Today, Akbar still works from afternoon until evening, selling about 30 papers daily. In a digital age, his presence reminds people of a simpler joy. As a young cafe visitor, Amel Ghali, says: “He is inspiring (鼓舞人心的). Unfortunately, our children might not experience the simple pleasure of reading a newspaper with a coffee.” 1．What job does Ali Akbar do in Paris? 2．Does Ali Akbar use the newspaper’s original headlines to sell? 3．According to Ali Akbar, what was his main purpose for creating his own headlines? 4．How did Ali Akbar learn French after arriving in France? 5．Fill in the blanks in less than 8 words in Paragraph 3. 6．Like Ali Akbar who creates a “good mood”, what is one way you can bring a little joy to others in your daily life? Ancient art doesn’t have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining the best of the old and the new. Along the River During the Qingming Festival Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital painting. Scientists digitized the famous painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan. The original painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyles and technology. In the digital painting, a lot of these details are animated. Farmers work in the fields, and sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated. You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art. Digital technology allows today’s artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists would not believe possible. Techniques such as animation and 3D digital projection make art come alive. Dunhuang Cave Paintings Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi Desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years. The good news is for art lovers who cannot travel and for the caves. Scientists have created a 360-degree, 3D digital projection of the caves, which makes the artwork come alive. There is also a function that lets viewers zoom in and enjoy the paintings and sculptures in greater detail. Digitizing ancient art allows us to understand the art, ________________________ and ________________________________________________________________________________________. 1．According to the passage, ancient art can be refreshed through the use of modern technology, can’t it? 2．How do the animations in the digital painting of “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” bring the artwork to life? 3．What technology has allowed artists to express their ideas in ways that ancient artists could not have imagined? 4．How many years did it take to create the artwork in the Dunhuang Caves? 5．What are the two main advantages of digitizing ancient art mentioned in the passage? 6．What can be filled in the blank in the last paragraph? CATCH OF A LIFETIME [1] He was 11 and went fishing every chance he got from the dock at his family’s cabin. [2] On 29 June, the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure[1] and practised casting. When the fishing pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock. [3] Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. [4] The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. [5] “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said. [6] “Dad!” cried the boy. [7]“There will be other fish,” said his father. [8]“________” cried the boy. [9] He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity[2] of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish. [10] That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock. [11] And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish—again and again.Word box [1] lure n. 鱼饵 [2] clarity n. 清晰；清楚 1．Dad was proud of his son when he saw him get the bass, wasn’t he? 2．Complete the notice at the dock according to the story. 3．What did the boy say in Paragraph 8? Fill in the missing sentence. 4．What does the last sentence in the story mean? Explain it in your own words. 5．The word “CATCH” has two meanings in the title “CATCH OF A LIFETIME”. Explain your understanding. 6．Who would you like to recommend the story to? Why would you like to recommend it to him/her/them? Lost and found A few years ago, after a long weekend in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), my friend Andy and I returned to Beijing. After getting off the train, we packed ourselves into a crowded bus to go home. After getting off, we decided to get some coffee. “I’ll get two lattes (拿铁咖啡). We need to wake up,” I said, reaching into my shirt for money. Gone. No wallet. No passport. Everything was gone. Andy ran off to scan the street but came back shaking his head. “It’s no use,” I said, trying to stay calm. “I’m going to the office. I need to freeze my bank card and find a copy of my passport.” I reported the to my boss, Mr. Chen. “It’ll be okay,” he said. “You had a good time other than this, I hope.” I nodded, though the fun of the weekend was already a distant memory. I walked over to my desk, feeling sad. Suddenly, my phone rang. “Are you Michelle McGraw? Have you lost your wallet?” a male voice asked. “Yes,” I answered. “I’m Officer Gao. Come to our station. Mr. Liu Yumin has turned in a wallet. We think it’s yours.” Shocked, I handed my phone to a Chinese colleague. After talking to the policeman, she smiled “You must be the luckiest person in Beijing today.” The next day, Mr. Chen took me to meet Mr. Liu at a seafood restaurant. “He doesn’t want a reward,” my boss told me. “I guess you can buy him a nice meal to show your gratitude (感激).” The gentleman was a taxi driver. After finding my wallet that day, he immediately called 110. The police came and took it away. After the meal, I thanked him again. My “rescuer” nodded with a smile. “________,” he said and shook my hand goodbye. From then on, my impression of Chinese people changed. 1．The writer and his friend spent a week in Inner Mongolia, didn’t they? 2．When did the writer find his wallet was gone? 3．What possible items were in the writer’s lost wallet? (Write at least two items according to the story). 4．Why did Mr. Chen take the writer to meet Mr. Liu at a seafood restaurant? 5．What did Mr. Liu probably say to the writer at the end of the story? 6．What was the writer’s final impression on Chinese people? Why do you think so? After he found his wallet, he thought , because . Allen’s First Marathon (马拉松) One month before his first marathon, Allen suffered an ankle injury. The doctor advised him to rest for two weeks without any running or training. Despite this, Allen decided to continue with his plan. Allen recalled his first year in primary school when he was seven. In his first P.E. class, the teacher asked the students to run laps and then practice hitting a ball. Allen struggled with both activities. Later, someone told him he was “not athletic”—lacking natural ability in sports. This label stayed with him for many years. When he started running at the age of thirty, he gradually realized that a marathon was not just about competition or physical strength. He thought that ______________. The night before the marathon, Allen dreamed that he could not find the finish line. He woke up feeling nervous but determined to challenge himself. Shortly after the race began, Allen’s shoelaces (鞋带) became untied. He had to stop and tie them—not the perfect start he had hoped for! By the 3rd mile, he saw a sign :“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” At the 17th mile, he felt short of breath and his injured ankle began to hurt badly. Whenever he felt pain, he slowed down, walked for a while, and then started running again. As he approached the 25th mile—close to the finish line—he saw his wife holding a sign that said, “Keep going! I’m proud of you!” She had always been his strongest supporter. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money spent on running. Allen was one of the last to cross the finish line, but he did it. He received a medal—the same as the first-place winner’s. This experience taught Allen that perseverance matters more than performance. He had become a real winner in life. 1．Allen was injured a month before his first marathon, wasn’t he? . 2．What was Allen’s decision after he was injured? . 3．When did Allen know he was not good at sports? . 4．Who held a sign to support Allen as he approached the 25th mile? . 5．Why did Allen receive a medal in his first marathon? . 6．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3? (No more than 15 words) . Small, independent bookstores in neighborhoods across the United States are places to discover new books and make friends. About 20 years ago, stores like these were closing in large numbers because of competition from large bookstores and online book sales. But about 10 years ago, something unusual happened: independent bookstores seemingly came back to life. Many are profitable (盈利的), and the number of stores is growing. In a Virginia community called Arlington, many people buy their books at a store called One More Page Books. Customer Cheryl Moore says she likes the personal service she receives at small bookstores. Moore said, “I think they pay attention to the kinds of books people like to read. They have book clubs, so I don’t think it’s a place where people just buy books, but make friends here.” After almost dying off, small, independent bookstores grew by 35 percent between 2009 and 2015. The American Booksellers Association says sales at the more than 2,400 bookstores across the country rose about 5 percent over the past year. For people who love reading, independent bookstores sometimes become a home. Kristen Maier lives in Missouri, but often comes to One More Page Books when she visits the Virginia area for work. She does not think electronic devices can replace the feeling of holding a real book. Independent bookstores know they have to sell more than books. One More Page tries to attract people by offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book. “We’re going to keep doing what we do well, and hope that our community loves having us around enough to support us,” Nebeker, the owner of the bookstore added. 1．Does the Cheryl Moore like the personal service she receives at small bookstores?       2．When did independent bookstores come back to life? 3．What can people do in small independent bookstores according to Cheryl? 4．Why does Kristen Maier prefer to buy books in One More Page Books? 5．How does One More Page attract people? 6．Would you like to buy books in independent bookstores or online? Why? 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 In my grandfather’s house stood a big clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations. The table was always spread with delicious food. And that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and stories. As a child, the old clock attracted me. I watched and listened to it during meals, amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. Year after year, the clock chimed, a part of my memories and my heart. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s regular practice. He would wind that clock with a special key each day. That key was magic to me. It kept the clock ticking and chiming. I remember watching my grandfather take the key and open the hidden door in the old clock. He put the key into the clock and wound. He never let that clock wind down and stop. When we grandkids got a little older, he showed us how to open the door and let us each take a turn winding the key. After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock! The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there but seemed smaller. It was not so attractive without my grandfather’s touch. Years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet, no laughter over the dinner table, no ticking of the clock. The hands on the clock were frozen, stopped at the moment when my grandfather had stopped winding it. I took the key and opened the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and twinkling blue eyes. He was there, winking at me, at the secret of the clock’s magic, at the key that held so much power. Then I slowly inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again. 1．Why was I attracted by the big clock? 2．The big clock stood in the dining room of my grandfather’s house, didn’t it? 3．How did grandfather make the clock work?                   4．Why was the old house so quiet years later?                   5．What does the underlined word “frozen” mean? 6．How do you understand the sentence “It sprang to life”?             重难语篇练习 Have you ever been to a big city that uses plenty of electric cars instead of traditional gas-powered cars? The difference is quite obvious. For example, you can chat on the sidewalk without raising your voice over traffic noise or feeling uncomfortable from car smoke. We are starting to use less fossil fuels. The more a society stops using internal combustion engines (内燃机), the better it improves locals’ lives by reducing air and noise pollution. Burning less fossil fuel means less carbon is released into the air, which helps slow down human-caused climate change. Now, the big question is: what kind of vehicle will become the car of the future? There are two main types of clean cars competing to be the best: electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs). Electric vehicles run on rechargeable (可再充电的) lithium-ion batteries. Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles depend on the hydrogen stored in a tank (储氢罐) and transform it into electricity. Both types of cars run quietly and produce almost no harmful waste gases. Which one is better? That’s still being debated. EVs are cheaper and more convenient due to their supportive infrastructure (基础设施). FCVs can travel farther, and their hydrogen tanks can be refilled much faster than EV batteries can be recharged. However, both have big challenges. Making EV batteries requires a lot of energy, often from fossil fuels, and recycling old batteries is still difficult. For hydrogen cars, producing and storing hydrogen is expensive and consumes a lot of energy. Car companies have different views about which technology is better. Spokespeople for Toyota, Hyundai, and BMW have claimed that hydrogen has superior long-term potential in many areas and could even replace both traditional cars and EVs. However, the CEOs of Tesla and Volkswagen have publicly criticized the idea of using hydrogen in cars. Tesla’s Elon Musk has gone so far as to call fuel cells “fool cells.” So, will either one really work? It’s still hard to tell which type of car will rule the roads in the future. But most people hope at least one will become the new standard. Many of us will be glad to see the noise and air pollution from traditional cars become a thing of the past. 1．Why does the writer mention the example in Para. 1? 2．What does the underlined word “consumes” in Paragraph 4 mean? 3．What good does not using internal combustion engines do to our society? 4．What are the two main competing types of clean cars? 5．What do these two types of clean cars have in common? 6．What can be the best title for the passage? Give your reason. Sweet apologies Last week, I found myself in a difficult situation with my new neighbour. He was a college student who had just moved in across the street and brought a ping-pong table with him. He put it in the grassland for public use and it soon became a favorite place for many in the community. However, in the following days, the noise from the games never stopped. Whenever there was a game, the crowd cheered loudly, and the noise nearly drove me mad. I went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go, but he didn’t take it well. He asked who I was and why I was telling him what to do. “A neighbour who is bothered by your table!” I shouted at him. My husband pulled me away. At home, I sat on the sofa, still feeling angry. Suddenly, a picture on the wall came into view. It was taken at my college graduation ceremony. Seeing it brought back a flood of memories. I remembered my own college days, filled with cheers and adventures. How could I be so “cruel” to the young? The next morning, after waking up, I decided to make an apology first. As some dough on the kitchen table caught my attention, an idea flashed into my mind: Why not bake some sugar cookies? When I stood in front of his door, what I had said echoed (回响) in my mind. I took several deep breaths and knocked. The following seconds seemed like years for me. When the door finally opened, there was a surprised look on the boy’s face. “Hi... I think... I’ve done something really awful,” I apologized, with my face turning red. “I hope you can accept these...” I handed him the plate of cookies. He looked at the cookies and then at me. “How do you know I’m hungry now? This is the best snack!” he picked one up and took a bite. But the empty pizza box on his table and sauce on his mouth showed he had already had enough for lunch. Finally, we agreed to start over. Today, when I passed by the grassland, to my surprise, the ping-pong table was gone. When I got home, I found a box of chocolates in front of the door, with a note on it, which read “Enjoy my honest apology!” 1．Was the student’s ping-pong table popular among neighbours? 2．What did the author do to stop the noise caused by the table? 3．What made the author realize she was too rude to the student? 4．How did the author feel when standing at the student’s door again? 5．Why did the college student say the underlined sentences? 6．Who made apologies? Why does the author think the apologies are “sweet”?

His answer: ‘Keep writing new songs!’”，说明Miranda保持创造力的秘诀是不断写新歌。因此答案是原文直接引述。 5．文中通过列举宫本茂、Oxman博士和Miranda等不同领域的专业人士的例子，来说明一些对在不同方面有创造力的专业人士有效的技能。因此答案是对原文信息的概括总结。 6．最后一段指出最有创造力的人不会等待完美的想法，而是不断产生新想法并从中筛选最好的，这意味着他们经常会有很多“坏”想法。结合本段小标题“Don’t fear failure”，此处应填写与“不畏惧失败”相关的表达。 In the cultural heart of Paris, along the streets of Saint-Germain-des-Pres, an elderly man’s cheerful voice often rings out: “France is getting better!” Ali Akbar, now 73, has been selling newspapers here for decades (十年).

[2] On 29 June, the day before the bass season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening. Then he tied on a small silver lure[1] and practised casting. When the fishing pole doubled over, he knew something huge was on the other end. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock. [3] Finally, he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass. [4] The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. [5] “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said. [6] “Dad!” cried the boy. [7]“There will be other fish,” said his father. [8]“________” cried the boy. [9] He looked around the lake. No others were anywhere around in the moonlight. He looked again at his father. Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he caught the fish, the boy could tell by the clarity[2] of his father’s voice that the decision was not negotiable. He slowly worked the hook out of the lip of the huge bass and lowered it into the black water. The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish. [10] That was 34 years ago. Today, the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He takes his own son and daughters fishing from the same dock. [11] And he was right. He has never again caught such a magnificent fish as the one he landed that night long ago. But he does see that same fish—again and again.Word box [1] lure n. 鱼饵 [2] clarity n. 清晰；清楚 1．Dad was proud of his son when he saw him get the bass, wasn’t he? 2．Complete the notice at the dock according to the story. 3．What did the boy say in Paragraph 8? Fill in the missing sentence. 4．What does the last sentence in the story mean? Explain it in your own words. 5．The word “CATCH” has two meanings in the title “CATCH OF A LIFETIME”. Explain your understanding. 6．Who would you like to recommend the story to? Why would you like to recommend it to him/her/them? 【答案】1．Yes, he was. 2．00:00, 30 June 3．Not as big as this one. 4．It means the lesson of honesty and doing the right thing has stayed with him all his life and guides his choices repeatedly. 5．One meaning is the big bass the boy caught; the other is the lifelong gain of honesty and integrity. 6．I would recommend it to teenagers. Because it teaches us that integrity is more important than any temporary gains, even when no one is watching. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个男孩在禁渔期前钓到一条巨大鲈鱼，父亲要求他放生的故事，这次经历让他学会了诚信与道德，成为他一生的宝贵财富。 1．原文第二段提到“His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully worked the fish alongside the dock.”，其中“with admiration”体现了父亲为儿子的钓鱼技巧感到骄傲。 2．原文第二段和第四段提到：“On 29 June, the day before the bass season opened”和“It was 10 p.m.—two hours before the season opened.”，可知鲈鱼季从6月30日00:00开始。 3．原文第七段：“There will be other fish,”以及第九段：“The boy suspected that he would never again see such a great fish.”，父亲让男孩放掉大鱼，男孩哭着反驳，后文男孩也觉得再也见不到这么大的鱼了，因此“Not as big as this one.”符合。 4．最后一句：“But he does see that same fish—again and again.”中，“that same fish”并非指真的鱼，而是象征那次经历教会他的诚信、道德和遵守规则的品质，他在人生中一次次践行这种品质。 5．根据全文可知，该词有两个意思：一是表层含义：指男孩钓到的那条巨大的鲈鱼（the big bass he caught that night）；二是深层含义：指他从这次经历中收获的诚信、自律和道德准则，这是他一生最珍贵的收获。 6．开放性试题，可推荐给学生、朋友等，理由围绕故事传递的诚信、遵守规则等品质展开，合理作答即可。 Lost and found A few years ago, after a long weekend in Inner Mongolia (内蒙古), my friend Andy and I returned to Beijing. After getting off the train, we packed ourselves into a crowded bus to go home. After getting off, we decided to get some coffee. “I’ll get two lattes (拿铁咖啡).

Allen’s First Marathon (马拉松) One month before his first marathon, Allen suffered an ankle injury. The doctor advised him to rest for two weeks without any running or training. Despite this, Allen decided to continue with his plan. Allen recalled his first year in primary school when he was seven. In his first P.E. class, the teacher asked the students to run laps and then practice hitting a ball. Allen struggled with both activities. Later, someone told him he was “not athletic”—lacking natural ability in sports. This label stayed with him for many years. When he started running at the age of thirty, he gradually realized that a marathon was not just about competition or physical strength. He thought that ______________. The night before the marathon, Allen dreamed that he could not find the finish line. He woke up feeling nervous but determined to challenge himself. Shortly after the race began, Allen’s shoelaces (鞋带) became untied. He had to stop and tie them—not the perfect start he had hoped for! By the 3rd mile, he saw a sign :“GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!” At the 17th mile, he felt short of breath and his injured ankle began to hurt badly. Whenever he felt pain, he slowed down, walked for a while, and then started running again. As he approached the 25th mile—close to the finish line—he saw his wife holding a sign that said, “Keep going! I’m proud of you!” She had always been his strongest supporter. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money spent on running. Allen was one of the last to cross the finish line, but he did it. He received a medal—the same as the first-place winner’s. This experience taught Allen that perseverance matters more than performance. He had become a real winner in life. 1．Allen was injured a month before his first marathon, wasn’t he? . 2．What was Allen’s decision after he was injured? . 3．When did Allen know he was not good at sports? . 4．Who held a sign to support Allen as he approached the 25th mile? . 5．Why did Allen receive a medal in his first marathon? . 6．What can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3?

Small, independent bookstores in neighborhoods across the United States are places to discover new books and make friends. About 20 years ago, stores like these were closing in large numbers because of competition from large bookstores and online book sales. But about 10 years ago, something unusual happened: independent bookstores seemingly came back to life. Many are profitable (盈利的), and the number of stores is growing. In a Virginia community called Arlington, many people buy their books at a store called One More Page Books. Customer Cheryl Moore says she likes the personal service she receives at small bookstores. Moore said, “I think they pay attention to the kinds of books people like to read. They have book clubs, so I don’t think it’s a place where people just buy books, but make friends here.” After almost dying off, small, independent bookstores grew by 35 percent between 2009 and 2015. The American Booksellers Association says sales at the more than 2,400 bookstores across the country rose about 5 percent over the past year. For people who love reading, independent bookstores sometimes become a home. Kristen Maier lives in Missouri, but often comes to One More Page Books when she visits the Virginia area for work. She does not think electronic devices can replace the feeling of holding a real book. Independent bookstores know they have to sell more than books. One More Page tries to attract people by offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book. “We’re going to keep doing what we do well, and hope that our community loves having us around enough to support us,” Nebeker, the owner of the bookstore added. 1．Does the Cheryl Moore like the personal service she receives at small bookstores?       2．When did independent bookstores come back to life? 3．What can people do in small independent bookstores according to Cheryl? 4．Why does Kristen Maier prefer to buy books in One More Page Books? 5．How does One More Page attract people? 6．Would you like to buy books in independent bookstores or online? Why? 【答案】1．Yes, she does. 2．About 10 years ago. 3．They can discover new books and make friends. 4．Because she does not think electronic devices can replace the feeling of holding a real book. 5．By offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book. 6．I’d like to buy books in independent bookstores. Because I can enjoy the personal service, make friends, and get the real feeling of reading a physical book.（言之有理即可） 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国的小型独立书店曾因大型书店和线上售书的竞争而大量倒闭，约10年前开始复苏，如今数量持续增长且多数实现盈利。 1．根据“Customer Cheryl Moore says she likes the personal service she receives at small bookstores.”可知，顾客Cheryl Moore表示喜欢小书店提供的个性化服务。直接明确她的态度是肯定的。故填Yes, she does. 2．根据“But about 10 years ago, something unusual happened: independent bookstores seemingly came back to life.”可知，但大约10年前，独立书店似乎重新焕发生机。明确说明复兴时间。故填About 10 years ago. 3．根据“They have book clubs, so I don’t think it’s a place where people just buy books, but make friends here.”可知，人们不仅买书，还会在此交友。直接说明书店兼具购书与社交功能。故填They can discover new books and make friends. 4．根据“She does not think electronic devices can replace the feeling of holding a real book.”可知，她认为电子设备无法替代手持实体书的感受。明确其偏好实体书的原因。故填Because she does not think electronic devices can replace the feeling of holding a real book. 5．根据“One More Page tries to attract people by offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book.”可知，书店通过提供可带回家的酒或巧克力吸引顾客。说明其附加服务策略。故填By offering them wine or chocolate they can take home along with a book. 【点睛】本题为开放性作答，需结合个人观点。合理选择并给出简单理由即可（如社交体验、便利性、价格等）。故参考答案为I’d like to buy books in independent bookstores.

Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations. The table was always spread with delicious food. And that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and stories. As a child, the old clock attracted me. I watched and listened to it during meals, amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. Year after year, the clock chimed, a part of my memories and my heart. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s regular practice. He would wind that clock with a special key each day. That key was magic to me. It kept the clock ticking and chiming. I remember watching my grandfather take the key and open the hidden door in the old clock. He put the key into the clock and wound. He never let that clock wind down and stop. When we grandkids got a little older, he showed us how to open the door and let us each take a turn winding the key. After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock! The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there but seemed smaller. It was not so attractive without my grandfather’s touch. Years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet, no laughter over the dinner table, no ticking of the clock. The hands on the clock were frozen, stopped at the moment when my grandfather had stopped winding it. I took the key and opened the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and twinkling blue eyes. He was there, winking at me, at the secret of the clock’s magic, at the key that held so much power. Then I slowly inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again. 1．Why was I attracted by the big clock? 2．The big clock stood in the dining room of my grandfather’s house, didn’t it? 3．How did grandfather make the clock work?                   4．Why was the old house so quiet years later?                   5．What does the underlined word “frozen” mean? 6．How do you understand the sentence “It sprang to life”?             【答案】1．Because I was amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. 2．Yes, it did. 3．He would put a key into the clock and wound. 4．Because the author’s grandfather had gone and there was no meal for three generations. Besides, the clock had stopped working. 5．It means “stopped”. 6．The clock began to work again. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者对祖父家一个大钟的回忆，以及这个钟如何成为家庭生活的一部分，并在祖父去世后重新启动，唤起作者对祖父的怀念的。 1．根据“As a child, the old clock attracted me. I watched and listened to it during meals, amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more.”可知，作者被钟吸引是因为作者很惊讶，在不同的时间，那个钟会响三次，六次或更多。故填Because I was amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. 2．根据“In my grandfather’s house stood a big clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations. The table was always spread with delicious food. And that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and stories.”可知，大钟确实放在祖父家的餐厅里。故填Yes, it did. 3．根据“He would wind that clock with a special key each day.”和“I remember watching my grandfather take the key and open the hidden door in the old clock.

The difference is quite obvious. For example, you can chat on the sidewalk without raising your voice over traffic noise or feeling uncomfortable from car smoke. We are starting to use less fossil fuels. The more a society stops using internal combustion engines (内燃机), the better it improves locals’ lives by reducing air and noise pollution. Burning less fossil fuel means less carbon is released into the air, which helps slow down human-caused climate change. Now, the big question is: what kind of vehicle will become the car of the future? There are two main types of clean cars competing to be the best: electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs). Electric vehicles run on rechargeable (可再充电的) lithium-ion batteries. Hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles depend on the hydrogen stored in a tank (储氢罐) and transform it into electricity. Both types of cars run quietly and produce almost no harmful waste gases. Which one is better? That’s still being debated. EVs are cheaper and more convenient due to their supportive infrastructure (基础设施). FCVs can travel farther, and their hydrogen tanks can be refilled much faster than EV batteries can be recharged. However, both have big challenges. Making EV batteries requires a lot of energy, often from fossil fuels, and recycling old batteries is still difficult. For hydrogen cars, producing and storing hydrogen is expensive and consumes a lot of energy. Car companies have different views about which technology is better. Spokespeople for Toyota, Hyundai, and BMW have claimed that hydrogen has superior long-term potential in many areas and could even replace both traditional cars and EVs. However, the CEOs of Tesla and Volkswagen have publicly criticized the idea of using hydrogen in cars. Tesla’s Elon Musk has gone so far as to call fuel cells “fool cells.” So, will either one really work? It’s still hard to tell which type of car will rule the roads in the future. But most people hope at least one will become the new standard. Many of us will be glad to see the noise and air pollution from traditional cars become a thing of the past. 1．Why does the writer mention the example in Para. 1? 2．What does the underlined word “consumes” in Paragraph 4 mean? 3．What good does not using internal combustion engines do to our society? 4．What are the two main competing types of clean cars? 5．What do these two types of clean cars have in common? 6．What can be the best title for the passage? Give your reason. 【答案】1． To show that electric cars are better than traditional gas-powered cars. 2．It means “uses”. 3．It reduces air and noise pollution and helps slow down climate change. 4．Electric vehicles (EVs) and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs). 5．They run quietly and produce almost no harmful waste gases. 6．The Cars of the Future. The passage mainly talks about two kinds of clean cars and discusses which one will be the car of the future. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了电动汽车和氢燃料电池汽车这两种清洁能源汽车各自的优劣势和面临的挑战，并指出目前尚无法确定哪种车型会成为未来主流，但人们都期待环保汽车能取代传统燃油车，消除噪音与空气污染。 1．第一段举例前，作者提到电动汽车和传统燃油车的区别显著，通过举例说明前者具有明显优势。 2．第四段最后一句句意是“氢燃料电池汽车制氢和储氢成本高，还会消耗大量能源”，consumes 在此处意为“使用、消耗”。 3．第二段中“The more a society stops using internal combustion engines (内燃机), the better...by reducing air and noise pollution. ...slow down human-caused climate change.”提取原文信息即可。 4．第三段第二句话介绍了两种主流环保汽车，提取原文信息即可。 5．第三段中“Both types of cars run quietly and produce almost no harmful waste gases. ”提取原文信息即可。 6．本文通篇介绍了两种环保汽车的特点，并探讨了哪种车型会成为未来主流。 Sweet apologies Last week, I found myself in a difficult situation with my new neighbour. He was a college student who had just moved in across the street and brought a ping-pong table with him. He put it in the grassland for public use and it soon became a favorite place for many in the community. However, in the following days, the noise from the games never stopped. Whenever there was a game, the crowd cheered loudly, and the noise nearly drove me mad. I went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go, but he didn’t take it well. He asked who I was and why I was telling him what to do. “A neighbour who is bothered by your table!” I shouted at him. My husband pulled me away. At home, I sat on the sofa, still feeling angry. Suddenly, a picture on the wall came into view. It was taken at my college graduation ceremony. Seeing it brought back a flood of memories. I remembered my own college days, filled with cheers and adventures. How could I be so “cruel” to the young? The next morning, after waking up, I decided to make an apology first. As some dough on the kitchen table caught my attention, an idea flashed into my mind: Why not bake some sugar cookies? When I stood in front of his door, what I had said echoed (回响) in my mind. I took several deep breaths and knocked. The following seconds seemed like years for me. When the door finally opened, there was a surprised look on the boy’s face. “Hi... I think... I’ve done something really awful,” I apologized, with my face turning red. “I hope you can accept these...” I handed him the plate of cookies. He looked at the cookies and then at me. “How do you know I’m hungry now? This is the best snack!” he picked one up and took a bite. But the empty pizza box on his table and sauce on his mouth showed he had already had enough for lunch. Finally, we agreed to start over. Today, when I passed by the grassland, to my surprise, the ping-pong table was gone. When I got home, I found a box of chocolates in front of the door, with a note on it, which read “Enjoy my honest apology!” 1．Was the student’s ping-pong table popular among neighbours? 2．What did the author do to stop the noise caused by the table? 3．What made the author realize she was too rude to the student? 4．How did the author feel when standing at the student’s door again? 5．Why did the college student say the underlined sentences? 6．Who made apologies? Why does the author think the apologies are “sweet”? (At least 2 reasons) 【答案】1．Yes, it was. 2．She went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go. 3．A picture of her college graduation ceremony. 4．Nervous. 5．To make the author feel better and show his willingness to accept the apology. 6．Both the author and the college student made apologies. The author thinks the apologies are “sweet” because the student accepted her apology kindly, easing the tension and showing understanding. And the student apologized in return with chocolates and a note, and removed the ping-pong table, showing his sincerity. 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者与邻居大学生因乒乓球桌噪音问题发生冲突，后通过回忆自己的大学生活意识到自己的行为过于苛刻，最终通过道歉和送糖饼干的方式与邻居和解的故事。 1．根据“He put it in the grassland for public use and it soon became a favorite place for many in the community.”可知，他把乒乓球桌放在草地上供大家使用，很快它就成了社区里许多人最喜欢的地方，故乒乓球桌在邻居中很受欢迎。故填Yes, it was. 2．根据“I went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go”可知，作者去男孩家要求他搬走乒乓球桌。故填She went to the boy’s house and told him that the table had to go. 3．根据“Suddenly, a picture on the wall came into view.
