Fashion Today B In India, some children often work at railway stations to help their parents. It is difficult for them to go to school as they work during the day. But thanks to train platform schools, these children can now get an education. At train platform schools, the children don’t go to school. Instead, teachers come to the railway stations where the children work. The children arrive early in the morning, work for a few hours, then start classes at 8 a.m. They sit on the platform with classmates to learn different subjects, including Maths, Art, and English, and so on. They also study practical subjects, for example, they have lessons in nutrition (营养) and how to help people if they are ill. These subjects are useful for their home life. Around 11:15, they have lunch, then the school day ends at noon. Students play games together before returning to work later in the afternoon. Train platform schools don’t have computers, so students get information by asking teachers or looking in books. There’s no library either—the teachers bring everything with them. School trips are also impossible here. Of course, the teachers at train platform schools are volunteers—they work for free. The first such school opened in 1985. Today, there are many across India, with thousands of students. The teachers believe every child should have the chance to learn. As they put it: if a child can’t go to school, the school must come to the child. 29. Why is it difficult for some Indian children to go to school? A. Children live far away from school. B. They dislike the school at railway stations. C. They work during the day at railway stations. D. Their parents don’t allow them to go to school. 30. Which of the following is NOT true about train platform schools? A. They have a big library. B. They have no computers. C. Teachers are volunteers. D. There are no school trips. 31. What do the teachers think about children’s education? A. Education is not important for children who are working. B. Only children who can go to school should get education. C. The school must come to the child who can’t go to school. D. Children should go to school even if they have to stop working. C Several years ago, my parents bought some comic (漫画) books to help my elder brother relax. He wasn’t interested, but I thought they were great fun. These comics had all the things I liked best—good stories, clever drawings and comedies. I started drawing my own comics and now I have a blog where I put my works. Drawing comics takes a lot of time, and I’m still in school. There’s a lot of schoolwork and it keeps me busy. Sometimes I draw during my breaks, but mainly I do it at home, where I can put on my headphones and focus. That’s when I get the most done. Fans sometimes contact (联系) me on my blog and it’s good to write back to them. Last year, I went to a national youth comic festival. I found most other teenagers used computers to draw. Although I know how to do that and it can help me save time, I honestly would rather draw by hand. That’s how I began to draw. Because of the success of my blog, there are articles about me in newspapers and magazines. I usually draw by myself, so I’m not used to all those! I was surprised when they called me the coolest teenager. Me? My friend would laugh at that! However, one amazing thing about it is that some of my comic-writing heroes have written to congratulate me on my success. I couldn’t feel better! The next thing I need to do is to develop my art skills. I will go for a comic course in the school holidays. 32. Who were the comic books for? A. The writer’s parents. B. The writer’s elder brother. C. The writer himself. D. The writer’s comic-writing heroes. 33. Why does the writer finish most works at home? A. Because he can pay attention to drawing. B. Because he can get help from his parents. C. Because he can contact his fans on the blog. D. Because he doesn’t want his classmates to know his works. 34. What does the underlined word “congratulate” mean? A. Laughing at someone. B. Giving someone a surprise. C. Being patient with someone. D. Giving someone good wishes. 35. What’s the main idea of this article? A. How to become a successful comic writer through a blog. B. The history of comic books and how they influence teenagers. C. A teenager’s experience of drawing comics and his growth in it. D. The differences between hand-drawn comics and computer-drawn comics. D 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Friendship is very important in our daily life. When our friends need help, we can do a lot to support them. But do you know that colours can also be helpful when getting along with friends? They can make our time with friends more special. Last week, my friend Lucy felt sad after losing a game. ____36____ We tried many methods to cheer her up but failed. Luckily, I read an article, and it said green calms people down, so I asked her to walk in the park with me. The green trees made her feel better soon and now she communicates with all of us without worries like before. For my outgoing friend Tom’s birthday, we planned a small party. ____37____ Red stands for energy, and it made the party lively. Tom said it was his favorite birthday ever! Colours can show a person’s feelings or qualities, so I also learned about friends from their favorite colours. My friend Mike always wears blue. ____38____ That’s why he’s good at listening when we’re down—he is as calm as blue. Some colours are good for work too. When Sarah was nervous about a test, ____39____ Yellow means hope, and she told me it gave her confidence (信心). It’s about using colours to show we care. ____40____ Even some inexpensive coloured gifts can be of great help. A. I bought her a yellow pencil. B. She didn’t want to talk to anyone. C. We chose red for the decorations. D. He says blue helps him stay peaceful. E. You don’t need to buy expensive things. F. Colours can make food look more delicious. G. Many people love bright colours like orange. 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 从方框中选择恰当的词或短语并用其适当的形式填空(每个词或短语只能用一次)。 be aware of end once pay attention to pronounce catch one’s eye in a mess correctly to tell the truth great 41.

B) (每题不多于8个词;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读回答问题。 Can you imagine being able to borrow books from a library without having to return them? The Civilian Mobile Library offers books for free. Readers are invited to take one book every 15 days. They are encouraged to pass it on to someone else once they’ve finished reading. And they don’t need to return the book. The library is only seven square meters in size but houses thousands of books on different subjects. “It might be the smallest library in the world,” said Xu Dawei, the owner. “But in another sense, it’s also the biggest because the books keep moving.” “I’ve read thousands of books,” Xu said. “Books have truly changed my life.” The idea of starting a library took shape in 2000, when Xu recommended online a list (清单) of his favorite books to readers, but many of them said they couldn’t find those books nearby. So he began sending his books to readers for free. “They all wrote me letters expressing their thanks. It encouraged me to take it farther, turning my book-gifting into a physical space,” Xu said. “All the readers have to do is to come. Even if they finish a book and decide not to pass it on, at least the book helps them fall in love with reading. That’s what I dream of,” Xu smiled. 61.
