Wilson was filling his backpack when an announcement about the All-City Maths Contest came out of the loudspeaker. The contest was open to eighth and ninth graders. And the top prize was fifty dollars. Wilson was immediately interested. “I could do really well in that contest,” he thought. Excitedly, Wilson went to speak to his teacher, Ms Jones. “I want to take part in that maths contest, Ms Jones,” he said. Ms Jones looked up and replied, “That’s wonderful, Wilson, but this contest is for eighth and ninth graders only. Besides, our class hasn’t studied most of the material.” Wilson argued, “But you know I’m good at maths! I do maths problems with my brother all the time—he’s in ninth grade! I think I could do really well!” However, Ms Jones stood firm. “You are a good maths student, but rules are rules. You can enter next year.” Wilson came home, stormed upstairs without saying a word, and shut the door to his room heavily. His mother quickly appeared at his door, knocked, and came in. “Did something happen today?” she asked. Wilson was quiet for a minute, and then it all came out. “It’s just not fair. I know I could do well. Why won’t they let me enter that contest?” Wilson’s mother put her hand on his shoulder and said softly, “Maybe you can tell your teacher that this is one of those times when the rule should be bent or even broken.” The next day, Wilson arrived at school an hour early and found Ms Jones already at her desk. “Good morning, Ms Jones,” he said. “I’ve brought one of my brother’s ninth-grade practice tests. If I take this test now and do a good job, can I be in the contest?” His teacher was surprised. But then she looked over the test and replied, “As I told you yesterday, Wilson, rules are rules. But if you can do well on this ninth-grade test, I will talk to the principal.” Wilson nodded and started the test right away. Forty minutes later, he handed it in. Ms Jones graded it and said, “Even most ninth graders wouldn’t get everything right, but you did! Well done! I’ll show this to the principal. I hope we can make an exception for you.” Wilson was overjoyed and gave his teacher a hug. His hard work and determination had paid off, and his dream of entering the contest was now within reach. ( )1. How did Wilson feel after he came home? A. Excited. B. Angry. C. Calm. D. Scared. ( )2. What did Wilson do to try to change Ms Jones’ mind? A. He brought a ninth-grade practice test and offered to take it. B. He promised to study hard so that he could be well-prepared. C. He asked his mother to talk to Ms Jones to change her mind. D. He showed Ms Jones the high scores he got in earlier maths tests. ( )3. What was the top prize of the All-City Maths Contest? A. A new backpack. B. Fifty dollars. C. A ninth-grade maths book. D. A talk with the principal. ( )4. What’s the correct order of the following events? ① Wilson took the ninth-grade practice test and got all right. ② Ms Jones agreed to talk to the principal. ③ Wilson heard the announcement about the maths contest. ④ Wilson argued with Ms Jones but was refused. A. ③ ④ ② ① B. ③ ④ ① ② C. ④ ③ ① ② D. ④ ③ ② ① ( )5. What can we learn from Wilson’s experience? A. Well begun is half done. B. East or west, home is the best. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. Nothing can be achieved without rules. B When facing a big challenge, like a speech or a sports competition, many people feel worried and allow fear to take over. This kind of thinking makes it harder to perform well. You need a way to prepare for success before the real event. Li Ming, a ping-pong player, always got nervous before big matches and made careless mistakes. His coach taught him to spend five minutes before the game imagining the perfect serve(发球), and the feeling of winning. He noticed that his performance ameliorated. What Li Ming practised is called visualization(可视化). Here is how it works: Close your eyes and imagine yourself doing the activity perfectly. The clear imagination actually trains your brain and this practice makes you perform well. When the important moment finally arrives, you will be familiar with the task and you can do a good job. But some people believe visualization is just dreaming. What truly matters is real practice. They argue that sitting quietly and imagining success is a waste of time. However, a recent study on piano players showed the opposite. The piano players were divided into two groups. One group practised on a real piano for 30 minutes a day. The other group only sat and imagined playing the piano perfectly. They didn’t touch the piano at all. After a few days, both groups improved. Experts say that senses(感官) play an important role. So, make sure you use them. Besides, never imagine mistakes or failures. Pay attention only to success. What’s more, it’s beneficial to choose one short cue(提示) word like “calm” or “focus”. Repeat it during your brain practice, and then say it right before the real event starts. ( )6. What problem did Li Ming have before big ping-pong matches? A. He couldn’t focus on his serves. B. He felt nervous and made careless mistakes. C. He didn’t know how to improve ping-pong skills. D. He was afraid of competing with strong players. ( )7. What is visualization according to the text? A. A way to practise real skills for an event. B. A method of imagining perfect performance. C. A dream that helps people win competitions. D. A method for improving memory. ( )8. What did the study on piano players show? A. Real practice is much better than visualization. B. Visualization is a waste of time for piano learning. C. Both real practice and visualization can bring improvement. D. Piano players need more time to practise than ping-pong players. ( )9. What does the underlined word “ameliorated” mean in the text? A. Took. B. Played. C. Improved. D. Failed. ( )10. What is the best title for the text? A. Visualization: train your brain for success B. Li Ming’s secret to winning ping-pong matches C. The difference between visualization and real practice D. How to overcome nervousness in competitions 第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(每小题1分,共5分) Learning a foreign language opens a new window to the world.

Instead of just memorizing them, try to use them. 13. Ask your teacher to check them. Making mistakes is part of the learning process. Finally, many learners feel they don’t have enough chances to practise speaking. 14. This could be a classmate, a friend who is also learning, or even someone from an online language exchange community. Practise regularly, and be patient with yourself. Progress takes time. Remember, everyone learns at a different speed. 15. Celebrate your small successes, and keep going! A. Write short sentences or a diary using the new grammar points. B. A better way is to learn words in context. C. You can solve this by finding a language partner. D. To improve, listen carefully to native speakers, such as in songs, movies, or podcasts. E.

At the same time, there was another 2. (talent) man called Gongshu Ban. He was famous for making powerful weapons. One day, Gongshu Ban made new weapons to attack a city. He thought he would 3.

No matter how many times Gongshu Ban attacked, Mozi always found ways to protect the city. Gongshu Ban tried nine different attacks, 6. Mozi blocked each one successfully. After 7. (fail) again and again, he realized that no matter how powerful his weapons were, Mozi’s 8. (wise) was unbeatable. Finally, he had to give up his plan to attack the city. Originally, “Moshou” meant “Mozi’s solid defense”, which was praiseworthy. However, over time, people started using the idiom to describe those who strictly follow old methods and 9. (refuse) to accept new ideas. That’s how the idiom was born. Today, when we say someone 10. (stick) to old rules, we mean they seldom change their ways, even if there are better choices. 第二节 用方框中所给单词或短语填空,使短文完整通顺,有一个多余。 achievement compete Whatever difficulties live through However Life is full of challenges, and we all have to overcome 1. on our way to growth.

This clever man has always loved making interesting machines, and his bed car has surprised people all over the world. Many people watch his videos and leave warm messages. Gu Yupeng told local media about his idea. He said, “When I was a kid, I hated getting up early for school. I thought, if only I could go to school without leaving my bed!” He smiled and added, “When I had the chance, I just tried to make this wish come true.” Gu Yupeng spent a lot of time, energy and money on this childhood dream. Finally, he made the so-called “bed car” and gained fans around the world. Videos show the bed car driving over bumpy roads and through water. It looks really amazing. People can control it with a joystick while lying comfortably in bed. Maybe it’s just what young people have wanted for a long time. Gu Yupeng didn’t become a great inventor in one day. He first made a bed car back in 2022. But he likes to keep improving his designs, just for the fun of learning and solving problems. He really wanted to make his bed car better. So he spent another three years making it work better. Now this year’s bed car is super flexible. It can climb very steep hills and drive through flooded places. The person lying in bed stays in a relaxed position and doesn’t get wet at all.

It also encourages young people to be creative and not to give up easily. 根据短文内容回答问题,每题答案不超过8个单词。 1. Why has the inventor become popular online? 2.
