Reading Comprehension（共15小题，每题2分，共30分） Choose the best answer according to the passage. A. Some summers never end. Every day is the same. It is hot before the sun rises. It is hot after the sun falls. Between morning and night, when the sun burns in the sky… birds stop singing… dogs stop barking… and even time seems to stop. Jack lies on his bed. His window is open but there isn’t a breath (一丝) of air. He lifts a heavy hand and looks at his mobile. There are three new messages. He clicks on the first one. It is from Zadie. Hey Jack, I’m lying on the beach drinking a long cold fruit juice with loads of ice. The sun’s shining but it isn’t too hot—there’s a beautiful cool breeze (微风) coming from the sea. I go swimming every day. And every morning I go for a really long run on the beach. I hope you’re having a great summer too! Zadie The second message is from David. Hi, Jack, I’m staying with my aunt up here in Edinburgh. It’s my first time in Scotland, and it’s fantastic! I’m reading lots of books by a great Edinburgh writer, Robert Louis Stevenson. Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde is my favorite. It is a very scary story! I’ll share it with you when I come home! David The last message is from Holly. Hello Jack, this is the best holiday ever. We’re staying in a wooden house high up in the mountains. The mountains are amazing — there’s snow on some of them! Every day I go for a long walk and take photos of the wild flowers. It’s cool here at night and I sleep under a lovely warm blanket (毛毯)! Hope you’re happy in Westbourne. Holly Jack shakes his head. His friends are so lucky! He decides not to stay in bed any more. Maybe it’s cooler in the park. And getting close to nature is always a good choice. He gets up, puts his favorite book in his bag and leaves his room. 26. Where is Jack spending his summer holiday? A. By the sea. B. In Edinburgh. C. In Westbourne. D. In the mountains. 27. What does Holly think of her holiday? A. It’s too cold. B. It’s boring. C. It’s the best. D. It’s scary. 28. What will Jack probably do next? A. Meet his friends. B. Read in the park. C. Go to the beach. D. Travel to Scotland. B. It was warm outside. Emma was looking through the window and thinking of riding her horse Star after school. “Emma! Could you please turn in your homework?” Mrs. James called her. “I don’t have my homework with me,” Emma turned back and said. “I forgot to put it in my schoolbag after I did it.” “Emma, you’re such a smart girl, but you’re always daydreaming. I may have to talk with your parents,” Mrs. James said. “Now, class, clear your desks. Let’s welcome our guest, Doctor Landon. He is a vet and he came here today as part of our Career Explorations (探索) program.” Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he tried hard with math when he was a kid. But Emma didn’t listen carefully until a word caught her attention. Horse. “On most days of a week, I travel across the county to take care of horses. It is a lot of work, but I love it.” Emma’s mouth fell open. “What a life that is”, she thought. At that moment, Emma could see her future. She was going to be a vet and take care of horses too! After school, Emma made new plans. She would spend an hour studying math before riding Star. She also decided to spend half an hour every night studying science even if she didn’t have any homework. Doctor Landon said those were important subjects to study if she wanted to be a vet. When Emma walked into the house, she told her parents about her new plans. They were both surprised. “I had a talk with her last week. I told her she needed to work harder if she wanted to get into a good college. I guess she is taking my advice.” her dad said to her mom. Emma smiled. She didn’t remember what her dad said. Maybe she would tell them about her dream tomorrow. 29. Emma was interested in Doctor Landon’s ______. A. work as a vet B. grades at school C. advice on study D. travelling experiences 30. Why did Emma make new plans? A. She had a lot of homework to do. B. She wanted to get into a good college. C. She realized she must study hard for her dream. D. She was afraid Mrs. James would talk to her parents. 31. What can we know about Emma’s dad in the passage? A. He supports Emma’s dream to be a vet. B. He wants her to go to a good college. C. He likes riding horses in his life. D. He makes a big difference to Emma. 32. What can we learn from the text? A. Dreams make people take action. B. Parents’ advice is useful. C. Hard work is the key to success. D. Nothing is impossible if people try. C You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way? Numbers are beautiful There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure the length from your head to your belly button (肚脐) and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings. In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My skiff (小船) has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”—all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt. Curves (曲线) are beautiful “Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. When listening to music, the sound waves from guitars or pianos are made up of sine curves. “Tangent curve” is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (猛冲) down three thousand feet from on high”. Formulas (公式) are beautiful There are some amazing formulas. In a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. How amazing! Just as Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen said, “Math is fun!” 33. If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ______. A. it is a golden colour B. it only happens in human bodies C. it should be something used for math study D. it might bring people a sense of beauty 34. Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage? A. To introduce the topic. B. To support his opinion. C. To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D. To offer advice on learning math. 35. What does a Tangent curve look like? A. B. C. D. 36. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why math is beautiful and fun. B. Why math is difficult and complex. C. How we can learn math in a right way. D. How math helps us live a better life. D. Volunteering is a great way to help others, which can actually help you, too. If somebody volunteers, he does something for the good of another person or the world around us, without being paid. Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be organized, such as working for a charity, or informal (非正式的), like helping your neighbours with their food shopping. Research has shown that volunteering increases our happiness. It can give you a sense of purpose, which can in turn develop your self-confidence and make you feel motivated. This is especially true if you match volunteering to your interests or learn a new skill along the way. For example, if you’re interested in nature, why not volunteer for a wildlife charity? Amy and Ella, who set up the charity Kids Against Plastic, agreed. Amy said, “Volunteering is our way to get started in making a difference, instead of waiting for someone else to do the work.” By giving to others, you feel what’s been called “the helper’s high” — a positive feeling. Volunteering can make you happier over time, too. It has been shown to reduce feelings of worries, because many people find that they are moving away from their personal worries by paying attention to the needs of others. “Volunteering also gives us a chance to meet and connect with people, which is good news for our mental (精神的) health,” said Jolie Goodman of the Mental Health Foundation. Studies have shown that volunteering can improve your physical health, too. 37. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. What is volunteering. B. How to set up a charity. C. Why we should help others. D. How many kinds of volunteer jobs there are. 38. Why does volunteering reduce feelings of worries? A. Because people have ways to deal with their worries. B. Because people will be happier after helping others. C. Because people have no time to think of their worries. D. Because people get a lot of praise when they volunteer. 39. What’s the structure of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A. B. C. D. 40. What will probably be discussed next? A. The long-term impact of volunteering. B. How middle school students can volunteer. C. How volunteering can improve our physical health. D. Different ways of volunteering in various countries. Ⅱ. Complete the passage（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） Choose the sentences to complete the passage.

The Power of a Thank-You Note Last month, 15-year-old Lily received a special gift from her English teacher, Mrs. Green. It wasn’t a book or a pen, but a simple piece of advice: “Write thank-you notes to the people who have helped you.” At first, Lily thought it was just another school assignment. But as she started writing, she realized how meaningful it could be. She wrote to her parents, thanking them for always supporting her studies and taking care of her. She also sent a note to her best friend, Amy, who had cheered her up during the hardest time of last term. “I never realized how much these small words meant to others,” Lily said. Mrs. Green started this “thank-you note” project two years ago. She believes that expressing gratitude is an important life skill. “In our busy daily lives, we often forget to show our appreciation,” she explained. “A handwritten note can make someone’s day and strengthen relationships.” To Lily’s surprise, her thank-you notes brought unexpected results. Her, parents were deeply touched and hugged her tightly after reading the note. Amy replied with a long letter, sharing how much Lily’s words meant to her. “I’ve decided to make writing thank-you notes a habit,” Lily said. “It’s a simple way to spread love and kindness.” 66-68 Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to fill in the blanks.
