The house was super quiet and the day seemed extremely long. Dad tried hard to be cheerful, but even Lucy, the family dog, seemed sad. “Hey, Peter. Let’s have a game night!” “I don’t really feel like playing our usual board games without Mami.” said Peter. Usually, the whole family played together. Dad thought for a moment, then hurried downstairs. Peter heard the sound of moving boxes. He felt a little sorry—Dad was trying so hard to cheer him up, but Peter wasn’t in the mood. Soon Dad returned with a small box. “Komikan,” the cover read. “It’s a game for two people, and it comes from Chile, where your grandparents live,” he said. “My father taught me this game when I was a boy—it is very special to me.” Peter grew curious. “Can you teach me?” Dad gave a thumbs-up and opened the box. He took out a game board with a triangular pattern on it. “One plays as a puma, the other as twelve dogs. The puma wins by capturing nine dogs; the dogs win by cornering the puma on the board.” “Puma—like the wild cat?” “Exactly.” It took Peter a little while to learn the rules, but he soon won as the puma. “I won!” he cheered, dancing happily. “Wait, Peter, it is not over yet even though you won as the puma. Now we change sides—you play as the dogs. If you win again, you’re the champion.” “Whaaat? Okay, Dad, let’s go—I will be the champion!” Peter said playfully. Dad laughed heartily.

(B) Guillermo González Camarena, a Mexican inventor, was born in 1917. As a child, he loved building things. He made electric toys when he was young. By age 12, he had built a radio with spare parts. At 13, he began studying engineering. He was interested in a new technology of his time: television. Television works by sending pictures and sound to a screen using electrical signals. The first moving images were sent to TVs in the 1920s. Few people had TVs then, but many knew TV would be an important way to learn about the world. Early televisions had many limitations. They could only show black-and-white images, not color ones. Because of this, many inventors worked to solve these problems. González Camarena was one of the first with a solution. In 1940, he made a “tri-chromatic” (three-color) device, which used three colors: red, blue, and green. When it was connected to a black-and-white TV, people could see color images. The invention was a huge success. But the device was very expensive to make. He wanted everyone to have color TV, so he kept on working to make it cost less. By the early 1960s, he invented a cheaper way to show color on TV. He called it the “Simplified Bi-color System (SBCS).” It cost much less to produce. Starting in 1965, many SBCS TVs were made and sold in Mexico. González Camarena also believed that TV was important to educate children. His ideas helped create Mexico’s first educational TV network, “Telesecundaria,” which is still used today. Guillermo González Camarena passed away on April 18, 1965. Today, he is remembered as one of Mexico’s greatest inventors. 31. Why did González Camarena invent a tri-chromatic device? A. TVs were not perfect to send sound. B. TVs didn’t help educate children then. C. TVs were too expensive for people to own. D. TVs could only show black-and-white images. 32. What does the underlined word “limitations” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Special programs. B. Weak points. C. Unclear images. D. Loud sounds. 33. What was González Camarena’s view on television? A. It should help create TV network. B. Rich people should make it cheaper. C. It should be widely used and educational. D. There was no need to improve its technology. 34. What do you think of González Camarena according to the passage? A. A creative and caring inventor. B. A clever and friendly educator. C. A grateful and curious inventor. D. A smart and successful educator. 35. Where can we probably find this article? A. Great Inventors in History B. How Network Works C. Television User Guide D. The History of Television (C) Today, humans are the main species on Earth, but if we go back millions of years, dinosaurs ruled the planet. They remained the most important living things for about 60 million years — much longer than humans have lived. Dinosaurs died out because of something unknown long before the first humans appeared. Back then, the Earth looked very different. Many scientists believe that all the continents were joined together as one big land. Over millions of years, these continents slowly moved apart. This movement formed the world we see today. That’s why dinosaur fossils are found everywhere. The climate was also warmer, with little temperature change. There were no clear seasons like we have now. Dinosaurs did not live alone on Earth. They lived with many other animals. On land, there were small early mammals, flying animals, and other reptiles (e.g., crocodiles and lizards) — many still live today. In the oceans, there were many fish, sharks, and shellfish. There were also lots of plants everywhere. These plants provided enough food for all the animals and made them live a peaceful life in nature. Why did the dinosaurs die out? There are many guesses, but no one knows the exact answer. Some scientists think a huge rock from space hit the Earth. Others believe that big volcanoes erupted and changed the climate. This mystery makes dinosaurs even more interesting to us now. 36. What can we learn about humans and dinosaurs millions of years ago? A. Dinosaurs and humans never lived on Earth together. B. Human activities caused the dinosaurs’ disappearance. C. Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for a shorter time than humans have. D. Humans and dinosaurs lived together on Earth for a short time. 37. Why are the dinosaur fossils found everywhere according to the passage? A. People moved the fossils around. B. The continents moved slowly apart. C. Dinosaurs travelled to different continents. D. The climate change formed different fossils. 38. What was the Earth’s climate like in the dinosaurs’ time? A. It was much colder with longer winters. B. It was similar to today, just a little warmer. C. It was warmer and did not have clear seasons. D. It always changed and often had bad weather. 39. Why does the writer mention “crocodiles and lizards” in paragraph 3? A. To tell us dinosaurs looked very similar to these animals. B. To introduce what animals in the dinosaurs’ time looked like. C. To explain that the climate then was helpful to these animals. D. To show that some animals in the dinosaurs’ time are still alive. 40. What is probably the best title for the passage? A. Ancient Earth’s Climate B. Dinosaur Fossils Worldwide C. Dinosaur Disappearance Mystery D. Dinosaurs and Their Ancient World 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 How to Train Your Brain to Enjoy Doing Hard Things Is your brain acting like a lazy cat when it’s time to do homework or practice piano? ____41____ But here’s a secret: you can train your brain to ENJOY it.

That’s because Monday is the story day at the library! On story day, Carl sits in a circle with other kids. Everyone is excited. They smile. The storyteller says ssssshhhh! The story begins. Everyone listens. Carl likes listening to the stories. But the storybooks he heard are only in English. He wishes some books with words in Spanish, too. Carl knows Spanish words best. Those are the words his family uses at home. Carl wonders if storybooks come in both English and Spanish. But he feels too shy to ask. One Monday, Carl found a Spanish-English book at the library. On the cover was a picture of a flying lady with gray hair. It looked like fun! That book helped Carl feel brave. He brought it to the storyteller. Carl said, “¡Por favor! Please, will you read this book today?” The storyteller looked at the cover, then at Carl’s hopeful face, and smiled. “¡Claro que sí! Of course!” That day, the storyteller read Carl’s book in English and Spanish. Some kids listened with curious faces; a few even repeated the Spanish words softly.
