Dealing with change isn't easy,but it's a normal part of life.
Things like losing a job or someone we love can surprise us and
make us feel sad. At first,we might not want change and feel like
we've lost something important. But if we deal with it in the right
way,we can accept change and even do well because of it.
16
One good way to deal with change is to admit (承认) how
we feel and let others know. When something sad happens,it's okay
to feel sad. Talking about it with friends or family can make us
feel better. We can also think about why we feel bad and what
might happen because of the change. Asking ourselves questions can
help us see if our worries make sense.
It's good to remember that change can sometimes lead us to
find what we really want in life. Even if it seems bad at first,it can
help us find a new direction. For example,if we lose a job,we might
find a new job that we like even more or we might get the chance
to follow a dream we had.
We need to do things to really accept change. We can keep
working on our goals,try new things,or spend time with people who
help us feel better. Doing things can help us not think about our
worries so much. It can also help us make a better future for
ourselves.
It's also important to think about the future and find ways to
keep going. This could mean looking for a new job,going on a
trip,or making new goals for ourselves. Looking ahead can help us
deal with the past and see it as something that had to happen so
we can move forward.
Finally,we can choose to use those we are very good at to
make the world better. This way of thinking helps us accept change
and even change things for the better.

There are many famous hoaxes in the world. Let's take a look
at three of them.
A THINKING MACHINE
In 1769,long before computers were invented,a man from
Hungary built a wonderful machine that could play chess very
well. It pleased people all over Europe and beat nearly everyone
who played chess with it. For many years,many people believed
that it was truly a thinking machine.
22
About 85 years later,the secret was finally revealed (揭示).There
was a man hiding inside the machine all the time,who was clearly
very good at playing chess!
ZOO ESCAPE(逃脱)
On November 9,1874,a New York newspaper ran a shocking
story on its front page. It said that all the animals in the Central
Park Zoo had escaped and were running around the city. It said
the police were working to save people,but 27 people had already
been killed,and 200 people were hurt. Many people in New York
23
were very scared. But it was all just a hoax. The story was made
up by Thomas Connery,an editor (编辑) at The Herald,who
wanted to make more people pay attention to the problem that the
cages (笼子) in the zoo were in poor condition.
ROSIE,THE RUNNER
24
The first woman to cross the finish line of the 1980 Boston
Marathon (马拉松) was 23-year-old Rosie Ruiz. However,as she
received her prize,people started to doubt that. She didn't seem to
be tired at all. What's more,none of the other runners remembered
seeing her in the race. Later,it turned out that she had run only
half a mile (about 805 meters) and taken the train for the rest
of the race! Her prize was taken away,of course.
25
6.When did people find the truth about the thinking machine?
_______________________________________________________
They found the truth about the thinking machine in 1854.
7.Why did Thomas create the hoax?(no more than 12 words)
_____________________________________________________________
To draw attention to the poor condition of the cages in the zoo.
8.What do you think of Rosie's behavior (行为)?
________________________
It's dishonest and unfair.
9.Why does the writer write the passage?
_______________________________________
To introduce three famous hoaxes to us.
26
10.What can we learn from the passage to avoid being tricked by
misinformation?
_______________________________________________________________
________________________________
When we're told some information,we should question it,think twice and dig deeper.(答案合理即可)

Dear Wang Xun,
Today,I was eating in the restaurant and a man sitting in
front of me ate the potato chips in my plate. I didn't say anything
although I wasn't very happy. After finishing sharing these
chips,the waiter served me a plate of potato chips and wished me
a good meal. I didn't realize I had eaten the man's potato chips
until then. I said sorry to the man and felt really embarrassed. Do
you have such an embarrassing experience? Write me back.
Yours,
Jack

Once,I invited my friend,Peggy,to dinner. We hadn't seen each
other for three years. While enjoying the delicious food,we talked
about the people we knew,the places we had been to and the
interesting things we found. We shared joy and pain with each
other. It was a great time. But only when I was about to pay for
the dinner did I realize I had left my wallet at home. That meant
Peggy had to pay for the dinner.

I will never forget this embarrassing experience.

We all heard the story of Nuwa patching
up (修补) the sky with colored stones.
Many years passed and . .1. . broke out again.
One of them is a big flood (洪水).
It appeared in the Yellow River during the rule of Emperor
Yao,and the people were made to . .2. . their villages and go to live
40
in trees or mountains. The flood brought great dangers to the
people's life. Emperor Yao felt . .3. . for the people,so he asked Gun
to solve the problem. Receiving the order,Gun led his team to build
dikes (堤坝) to keep back the water,but he . .4. ..Then Shun,the
next emperor,ordered Gun's son Yu to . .5. . with the work after Gun
died. Yu accepted the work and found that it was much more
difficult than he had thought. But he fought against the great
flood . .6. ..For thirteen years,he put himself to his work.
He passed his house three times but he did not . .7. . it. Drawing a
lesson from his father's failure,he used methods of channeling and
dredging (挖道和疏通) and . .8. . in controlling the great flood
finally. He did so much that the people called him “Yu the
Great”.Yu won the trust of his emperor and the people with his

五、阅读下列短文,根据短文内容选择最佳选项。
The “April snow” is here! It's not real snow,of course — it's
catkins (飞絮) from willows and poplar trees in spring.
For some people,this “snow” is not welcomed. Catkins can
make people's noses,eyes,and skin uncomfortable.
In spring,the female (雌性的) trees grow lots of flowers.
When these flowers finish growing,they produce cotton-like seeds
that spread through the air.
44
Luckily,scientists have found many ways to control catkins.
Doing “gender (性别) change surgery” on willow and poplar trees
is one of them. People cut off the branches ( ) of female trees
and replace (替换) them with branches from male (雄性的)
trees. This cuts down the number of catkins. However,this way is
slow and expensive. A skilled worker can do the “surgery” on less
than ten trees a day.
Scientists in Wuxi,Jiangsu,use special injections (注射剂) to
reduce the number of catkins on trees. These injections make the
trees mainly use their energy to grow bigger and get more
leaves,not to reproduce and make catkins. Xu Qinming,an expert in
Wuxi,told Science and Technology Daily that this method is safe for
the trees. However,the trees need to get injections every year to
keep the catkin numbers under control.
Other than injections,the trees can take “medicine”.This
medicine can be sprayed (喷洒) onto the trees before the catkins
form,which can quickly reduce catkin numbers. Still,people need to
be careful about how much of the medicine they use and when they
use it,or they might hurt the environment.
1.Which picture shows the problem mentioned in the first three
paragraphs?( )
B
A. B. C.
2.What does the “gender change surgery” refer to?( )
C
A.Planting more male trees.
B.Cutting off the branches of female trees.
C.Changing the gender of the branches.
47
3.How many ways are introduced to deal with catkins?( )
A
A.Three. B.Four. C.Five.
4.What's the disadvantage of using injections according to the
passage?( )
B
A.It is slow and expensive.
B.Trees need to be injected every year.
C.It needs many skilled workers to do it.
48
5.What's the main idea of the passage?( )
C
A.How to protect willow and poplar trees.
B.How to tell male and female trees apart.
C.How to control catkins with new technology.

五、任务型阅读。根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
The school year began. As the leader of the
recycling club,Scott was thinking about new activities
to encourage other students to become more active in
recycling.
Scott went home and looked online,hoping to find
ideas for events the club could organize at school. During his
research,he learned that the number of electronic waste,or e-waste,is
63
increasing rapidly. Scott was upset with himself for it. At that
moment,he began to develop a plan.
“There is a special project I want us to work on this term,”
Scott announced at the recycling club meeting the next day.“We
have all heard about e-waste,but recently I learned about the bad
effects it's having on our environment.” He went on to tell the club
members that he wanted them to organize an e-waste drive — a
day when students and their families could drop off unwanted
electronics to be recycled.“Now let's get to work!”
For several weeks,the recycling club was busy preparing for the
upcoming e-waste drive,or e-drive as it was soon called.
The big day finally arrived,and Scott was nervous. He and the
other members arrived at school early to make sure that everything
would go smoothly. Everyone hoped that students of the school
would take part in the event.
It wasn't long before the first cars pulled into the school
parking lot. After a while,more people arrived. Phones,TV
sets,computers and keyboards soon began piling up (堆积).
At the end of the event,Scott heard someone suggest that the
school should have an e-drive event every term. Scott
smiled,realizing that a simple action could truly have a lasting
influence.

_____________________________
It was successful and meaningful because it helped protect the
environment.(答案合理即可)
67
4.What does the writer want to tell us through this passage?

difference.(答案合理即可)
5.What other ways do you have to deal with e-waste?
_______________________________________________________________
___________________
We can repair the broken electronics instead of throwing them away. (答案合理即可)
