A. surprise /səˈpraɪz/, return /rɪˈtɜːn/;instead /ɪnˈsted/, mean /miːn/;neither /ˈnaɪðə(r)/, whether /ˈweðə(r)/。根据音标可知,A选项画线部分发音分别为/ə/和/ɜː/,B选项画线部分发音分别为/e/和/iː/,C选项画线部分发音均为/ð/。C选项发音相同,选C选项。
2. In the following words, which underlined letter has a different sound from the others?
A. regard B. German C. page
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:在下面的单词中,哪个划线字母的发音与其他的不同?
regard/rɪˈɡɑːd/;German/ˈdʒɜːmən/;page/peɪdʒ/。对比发音可以看出,German和page中g发/dʒ/,regard中g发/ɡ/,发音不同的是regard,故选A。
3. Which word of the following doesn’t have the same stress as the others?
A. Progress. B. Broken. C. Depend.
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:以下哪个单词的重音与其他单词不同?
Progress/'prɒɡres/;Broken/'brəʊkən/;Depend/dɪ'pend/。根据音标可知,A项和B项单词的重音在第一个音节,C项单词的重音在第二个音节,与其他选项不同。故选C。
4. Hello, boys and girls! Believe in yourself. If you do something with good methods, you’ll get ________ wonderful result in the future!
A. a B. the C. /
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:大家好!相信自己。如果你用好的方法做事,将来你会得到一个很棒的结果!
a不定冠词,表泛指,用于辅音音素开头的单词前;the定冠词,表特指;/零冠词。根据“you’ll get... wonderful result”可知,此处泛指一个很棒的结果,且wonderful是以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a。
5. The singers ________ many concerts in the countryside since 2005.
A. hold B. held C. have held
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:自从2005年以来,这些歌手已经在乡村举办了许多场音乐会。
根据“since 2005”可知,动作从过去持续到现在,应用现在完成时,结构为“have/has+过去分词”,故用have held。
6. While he ________ at the park yesterday morning, he found a wallet under the tree.
A. was exercising B. exercised C. exercises
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:昨天早晨当他正在公园锻炼的时候,他在树下发现了一个钱包。
根据连词“While”可知从句强调动作正在进行,由时间状语“yesterday morning”及主句谓语“found”可知是过去时刻,所以从句用过去进行时,应填was exercising。
7. Drivers ________ wear seat belts (安全带) while their cars are running on the road.
A. need B. can C. must
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:司机们在路上开车时必须系安全带。
need需要;can能;must必须。根据交通规则可知,开车系安全带是强制性的要求,must符合语境。
8. Lucy is shy. She would not invite her classmates ________ dancing with her.
A. practice B. practices C. to practice
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:露西很害羞。她不会邀请她的同学和她一起练习跳舞。
invite sb. to do sth.是固定搭配,译为“邀请某人做某事”。应填to practice。
9. Do you want to be healthy? ________. Smiling can help you stay healthy.
A. Smile B. To smile C. Smiling
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:你想变得健康吗?微笑吧。微笑能帮助你保持健康。
Smile微笑;To smile去微笑;Smiling微笑。空处是独立的句子,表示给对方提出建议,应用祈使句,以动词原形开头。应填Smile。
10. —Are you going to buy a camera?
—Yes, but there are so many kinds that I can’t decide ________ to buy.
A. what B. which C. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你打算买一台照相机吗?——是的,但是种类太多,我无法决定买哪一个。
what什么;which哪一个;where哪里。此处是在众多相机种类之中做选择,用which,因此选B。
11. My father gives me ________ than before.
A. fewer advices B. less advice C. more advices
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我父亲给我的建议比以前少了。
advice是不可数名词,没有复数形式,排除含 advices的A、C 选项;than提示用比较级,修饰不可数名词表示“更少”应用less。应填less advice。
12. —How long has Jim ________?
—For about eight weeks.
A. gone away B. left home C. been away
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——吉姆离开有多久了?——大约八周了。
gone away离开(go的过去分词,表示动作);left home离家(leave的过去分词,表示瞬间动作);been away不在/离开(be的过去分词+形容词,表示状态)。根据问句中的“How long”以及答语“For about eight weeks”可知,这是在询问持续的时间段。在现在完成时中,与时间段连用时,谓语动词必须是延续性动词或表示状态的词。go和leave都是瞬间动词,不能与时间段连用;而be away表示“不在”的状态,可以延续,因此应用been away。
13. I will give the note to him as soon as he ________ back.
A. return B. gets C. will get
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:他一回来我就会把纸条给他。
as soon as“一……就……”,引导的时间状语从句遵循“主将从现”的原则,主句是一般将来时,从句用一般现在时,从句主语“he”是第三人称单数,谓语动词需用三单形式gets。
14. —Which kind of animal is ________?
—Sorry, I haven’t got any experience. Perhaps birds are, I guess.
A. the easiest to take care of B. the most delicious to eat C. the scariest to play with
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——哪种动物是最容易照顾的?——抱歉,我没有任何经验。也许是鸟,我猜。
the easiest to take care of最容易照料的;the most delicious to eat吃起来最美味的;the scariest to play with玩耍起来最吓人的。根据答语“Sorry, I haven’t got any experience.”可知对话涉及饲养动物的经验。结合常识,鸟类通常被认为是相对容易照顾的宠物,符合语境逻辑,而关于味道或可怕程度的描述不符合此处情境。应填the easiest to take care of。
15. They don’t have ________ to travel.
A. many time B. many money C. enough time
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们没有足够的时间去旅行。
time和money均为不可数名词,many修饰可数名词复数,不能修饰不可数名词,故排除A和B;enough可修饰不可数名词,enough time意为“足够的时间”,符合语法和句意。
16. —Could you please ________ your bike?
—OK. I’ll do it right away.
A. to move B. move C. moving
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你能挪一下你的自行车吗?——好的。我马上做。
根据“Could you please…”可知,please后接动词原形表示礼貌请求。应填move。
17. ________ going out for a picnic if we are free this Saturday?
A. How about B. What do you like C. What do you think
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果我们这周六有空,出去野餐怎么样?
根据空后的“going”可知,此处考查“How about doing sth.”句型,用于提出建议;What do you like不符合语境;What do you think后需加介词of或about才能接动名词。故选A。
18. It is a popular festival in North America. It is on October 31st. On that day, lots of people make their houses look scary. They may turn off the lights and light candles. Therefore, the western festival is ________.
A. Easter B. Halloween C. Thanksgiving Day
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:它是北美的一个受欢迎的节日,在10月31日。在那天,很多人把房子布置得看起来很恐怖,他们可能会关灯,点燃蜡烛。因此这个西方节日是万圣节。
Easter复活节;Halloween万圣节;Thanksgiving Day感恩节。根据时间October 31st以及节日习俗,可判断为万圣节,因此应选B。
19. School days are some of the best and happiest days of our life. How can we get the most from them, and make sure we don’t waste this good chance to learn?
①Play enough sports every day in order to keep your body strong.
②We must do everything very well.
③Be interested in school life and our school subjects.
④We can finish the race if we rest all the time.
⑤Go and get together with classmates in the park to relax, or help someone with problems.
A. ①②④ B. ③④⑤ C. ①③⑤
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:上学的日子是我们人生中最美好、最快乐的一些时光。我们该如何充分利用这些时光,确保不浪费这个宝贵的学习机会呢? ①每天进行足够的体育锻炼,以保持身体健康。②我们必须把每件事都做好。③对校园生活和学校课程保持兴趣。④如果我们总是休息,就能完成比赛。⑤去公园和同学一起放松,或帮助别人解决困难。
根据常识,运动会让身体保持健康,对学校生活和学习科目感兴趣有助于提高学习成绩,与同学放松或帮助他人都是有益的事情,做这些事情都不会浪费上学的时光。而必须把每件事都做好过于绝对,第4项逻辑不通。
20. A survey (调查) has been done to find out the reading interests of 1,000 middle school students. From the survey we know that the students who like to read science books best are about ________ fewer than those who enjoy news.
News
Story
Science
Learning method
56%
23%
7%
A. 42 B. a quarter C. three quarters
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:对1000名中学生的阅读兴趣进行了调查。从调查中我们知道,最喜欢阅读科学书籍的学生比喜欢新闻的学生少四分之三左右。
根据表格内容可知,喜欢阅读新闻的学生占比是56%,喜欢阅读科学书籍的学生占比是14%(100%-56%-23%-7%),故最喜欢阅读科学书籍的学生比喜欢新闻的学生少42%,42%除以56%=75%,也就是四分之三,three quarters“四分之三”符合语境。
二、完形填空 (本题共10分, 每小题1分)
If failure is like a day without the sunshine, I’ll still smile at it, as clouds may be ____21____ in the sky. Success does not favor (恩惠) every person, just like the sun doesn’t shine every day.
Do you give up your plan to go hiking just ____22____ the weather isn’t as good as you had hoped? No, of course not. I would rather go on trying no matter what I suffer or enjoy on the way to my destination.

If failure is a bird without wings (翅膀), I’ll still smile at it. Flying isn’t the only thing a bird can do. Failure reminds us that we should believe in ____29____ . We may fail in one area, but we may achieve in ____30____ . Maybe we’ll find that we have a talent for something we never knew about before.
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
21. A. dance B. dancing C. danced
22. A. because B. if C. after
23. A. play B. are playing C. plays
24. A. but B. and C. so
25. A. much B. more C. most
26. A. seldom B. never C. always
27. A. pay attention B. focus C. agree
28. A. helpful B. natural C. similar
29. A. himself B. yourselves C. ourselves
30. A. other B. another C. others
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 24. A 25. B 26. C 27. B 28. A 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】本文阐述失败与成功的关系。作者鼓励人们面对失败要保持微笑,从中学习,相信自己,在不同领域寻找成就,保持积极心态。
【21题详解】
句意:如果失败就像没有阳光的日子,那我依然会微笑面对它,因为云可能在天空中跳舞。
根据“may be”可知,空处与be构成进行时态,需用现在分词,dancing符合。
【22题详解】
句意:你因为天气不如你预期的那么好,就放弃去远足的计划了吗?
前后句是因果关系,用because“因为”引导原因状语从句。if“如果”项表假设、after“在……之后”表时间,均不合逻辑。
【23题详解】
句意:实际上,失败就像那个在我们实现目标途中与我们一起玩耍的调皮男孩。
定语从句先行词“boy”为单数,谓语动词用三单形式plays。play为原形、are playing是现在进行时,时态不符。
【24题详解】
句意:他不仅想测试我们,还想帮助我们变勇敢。
固定搭配“Not only... but (also)...”意为“不仅……而且……”,填but。
【25题详解】
句意:我们笑得越多,就越勇敢。
“The+比较级..., the+比较级...”结构表示“越……,就越……”,填more。much是原级,most是最高级,不符合语法。
【26题详解】
句意:总有比成功更重要的事。
根据语境,强调肯定意义,用always“总是”。seldom“很少”、never“从不”表否定频率,不合文意。
【27题详解】
句意:换句话说,我们不应只关注成败。
根据介词“on”可知,用focus构成动词短语focus on“集中于”。pay attention“注意”(接 to)、agree“同意”均不符合语境。
【28题详解】
句意:它很有帮助。
根据前文“learn a lot”可知,失败是有帮助的,helpful“有帮助的”符合语境。natural“自然的”、similar“相似的”语义不通,不合逻辑。
【29题详解】
句意:失败提醒我们,我们应该相信自己。
根据主语“we”可知,反身代词用ourselves“我们自己”。himself“他自己”、yourselves“你们自己”人称不符。
【30题详解】
句意:我们可能在某一方面失败,但在另一方面却能取得成功。
根据“one... another...”搭配可知,填another指代另一个领域,符合语境。other后需接名词、others表复数,均不符合逻辑。
三、阅读理解 (本题共20分, 每小题1分)
(A)
Many women have shown the world how powerful they can be. Meet some of them here.
People all over the world know Helen Keller. She was a role model for disabled people. Keller became deaf and blind when she was a baby. But she didn’t give up on life. She learned four foreign languages, including French, German, Latin and Greek. Her book, Three Days to See, tells her life story.
As a zoologist, Jane Goodall is famous for two things. One is the way she carried out her studies. The other is what she found out about nature. Goodall didn’t do her studies in a zoo. She went to the wild forests of Africa to live together with chimpanzees (黑猩猩) and watch them carefully, Jane Goodall’s findings shocked the world.
Tu Youyou started her work in the 1960s. At that time, almost half of the world’s population were facing malaria (疟疾). In 1971, Tu found artemisinin (青蒿素) in a plant. Today, artemisinin is still the best cure for malaria. In 2015, Tu received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her work. She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Virginia Woolf was a writer. She was famous for her stream—of—consciousness (意识流) writing style. Woolf wrote a short novel called The Mark on the Wall. She was also a cultural sign during her time.

【导语】本文是说明文,介绍了海伦·凯勒、珍·古道尔、屠呦呦、弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫四位在不同领域取得卓越成就的杰出女性的生平与贡献,展现了女性的力量。
【31题详解】
“Helen Keller”部分明确指出:“She was a role model for disabled people.”,海伦·凯勒是残疾人的榜样,这是她闻名世界的原因。
【32题详解】
“Jane Goodall”部分明确指出:“She went to the wild forests of Africa to live together with chimpanzees and watch them carefully”,珍·古道尔针对黑猩猩开展了大量研究。
【33题详解】
根据图片中Jane Goodall的标注“Lived:1934 – Now”和Tu Youyou的标注“Lived:1930 – Now”可知,二人都出生于20世纪,符合同世纪出生的要求。
【34题详解】
“Tu Youyou”部分明确指出:“She was the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize.”,原文只提到屠呦呦是首位获得诺贝尔奖的中国女性,并未提到她是中国唯一获得诺贝尔奖的人,选项表述与原文不符。
【35题详解】
文章开篇点明主题是介绍展现自身力量的杰出女性,全文围绕四位优秀女性的事迹展开,因此最有可能出自女性相关网站。
(B)
When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the princess (公主) in the school play: For weeks my mother helped me practice. But once on stage, every word from my head was missing. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator’s (旁白) part for the play and asked me to change roles. Though I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she found my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) shaking in the grass. How beautiful they were! Just then, I watched my mother pick up one of the dandelions. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds (野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions. I don’t want you to do that! All the flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!” I said in a loud voice.
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way,” she told me. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said.
Thanks to my mother’s encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.
根据短文内容判断正、误。正确的写“A”,错误的写“B”。
36. The girl didn’t play the role of the princess mainly because she lost her interest in that role.
37. The mother suggested a walk in the garden in order to plant the dandelions with her daughter.
38. The girl liked the dandelions so much that she didn’t want her mother to dig them all up.
39. The girl’s mother played the role of the narrator instead of the girl at last.
40. From the passage we know that everybody has his or her own value in the world.
【答案】36. B 37. B
38. A 39. B
40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了小女孩原本入选校园剧公主角色,登台时忘词被调整为旁白,因失落被母亲察觉,母亲借蒲公英喻人开导她,最终女孩正视角色、在演出中收获成长的故事。
【36题详解】
根据第一段中“But once on stage, every word from my head is missing.”可知,女孩没能出演公主的主要原因是登台后忘词,并非对该角色失去兴趣。
【37题详解】
根据第一段中“Though I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she found my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.”可知,母亲提议去花园散步是为了疏导女儿的坏情绪,并非要和女儿一起种蒲公英。
【38题详解】
根据第二段中“But I like dandelions. I don’t want you to do that! All the flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!”可知,女孩非常喜欢蒲公英,不想让母亲把它们全部挖掉。
【39题详解】
根据第三段母亲的话“But you will be a wonderful narrator”以及第四段中“Thanks to my mother’s encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role.”可知,最终是女孩自己出演了旁白的角色,并非母亲代替她出演。
【40题详解】
根据第三段母亲的话“Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way…And that is true of people, too.”可推知,文章想要传达的是每个人在世界上都有自己的独特价值。
(C)
Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly, or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.
Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, wrote My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teenagers how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can not make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily, and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.
When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby, you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.
◇Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.
◇Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
◇ Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了一本名为《我的情感就像野生动物》的书,核心内容是帮助青少年控制愤怒情绪,文中探讨了易怒的危害及书中提供的三条具体建议。
【41题详解】
根据第五段划线词前后文“The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.”及下文列出的三条调节易怒情绪的具体方法,可推知该词的含义是“建议”。
【42题详解】
根据原文第三段中“It tells teenagers how to stay cool when bad things happen to them.”可知,这本书主要给青少年介绍在糟心事发生时保持冷静的相关建议,并非介绍阅读内容或阅读方法。
【43题详解】
根据第一条建议“Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry.”可知生气时要写下自己生气的原因;B选项和第二条建议内容相悖,C选项和第三条建议中离开问题场景的表述不符。
【44题详解】
根据文章第二段中“Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.”及第三段中“The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse.”可知文中提及了易怒的后果,但并未提及经常生气会容易生病,该表述不符合文意。
【45题详解】
通读全文可知,文章围绕控制愤怒情绪展开,介绍了易怒的危害及如何控制愤怒的方法,核心主题是不要容易生气。
(D)
A god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. ____46____ It especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world.
One day the horse said to the god, “You have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. ____47____ But how I wish you could make me more beautiful! I would be very thankful if you could make me more beautiful.”
The god said, “I am ready to make you more beautiful.____48____” Then the horse said, “My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.”
Then at once the god made a camel (骆驼) appear in place of the horse. The horse was so sad that it started to cry, “Oh, no! I do not want to become a camel. ____49____ As a horse, everybody appreciates (欣赏) my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”
The god said, “This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel. ____50____ If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each thing in my creation (创造) has its own good qualities. The camel is not as beautiful as you are, but it carries heavy things and has a greater sense of duty.”
根据短文内容, 将下面的句子还原到文中空白处, 使短文内容完整、通顺 (每个选项只能用一次) 。
A. I am so thankful to you.
B. Never try to get more than I have given you.
C. I wish you to change me into a horse again.
D. Tell me in what way you want to be changed.

【答案】46. E 47. A 48. D 49. C 50. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事,讲述一匹拥有诸多优点的马还想要变得更加美丽,请求神改造自己,结果变成了骆驼,神借此告诉它世间万物各有自身长处,不要贪求更多。
【46题详解】
根据前文提到“The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities.”马很美且品质优秀,后文提到它想成为最美的马,E项“But it wanted to be more perfect in every way.(但它想在各方面都更完美)”表转折,承上启下。
【47题详解】
根据前文“You have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities.”可知,马列举了神给予的优点,后文用But转折提出愿望,此处应先表达感谢,A项“I am so thankful to you.”符合语境。
【48题详解】
根据前文“I am ready to make you more beautiful.”可知,神表示愿意让它更美,后文马具体说明了想改变的部位,因此神此处应询问改变的方式,D项“Tell me in what way you want to be changed.”符合语境。
【49题详解】
根据前文“Oh, no! I do not want to become a camel”可知,马变成骆驼后很后悔,说不想成为骆驼,自然希望变回原来的样子,C项“I wish you to change me into a horse again.”符合语境。
【50题详解】
根据前文“The god said, ‘This is exactly what you asked for.’”神在教育马,后文指出贪心的后果,此处应是告诫不要贪得无厌,B项“Never try to get more than I have given you.”符合语境。

Now three kinds of tools in the 21st century classroom—a whiteboard, a computer screen and some audio tools (音频工具) are common. They have made a big difference in how students learn. An interactive (互动) whiteboard allows the teacher to show pictures and provide sound as well. A large computer screen has colorful pictures and sound in it. So many students’ attention is attracted by what they see and hear. Different kinds of audio tools, such as earphones (耳机) and microphones (麦克风), also help to make sure that everyone can hear the teacher. In the past, if a child missed some of what the teacher said, the child may have been too nervous to ask the teacher to repeat it. Now the students are not likely to miss what the teacher says with these audio tools.
The 21st century classroom is able to teach students more than one thing. Just imagine an English lesson is given in a modern classroom like this. How would it be different from a classroom in the past? The answer is simple. The students would learn about not only the subject itself but also how to use the modern machines.

When I was in the third grade, I was chosen to be the princess (公主) in the school play: For weeks my mother helped me practice. But once on stage, every word from my head was missing. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator’s (旁白) part for the play and asked me to change roles. Though I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she found my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) shaking in the grass. How beautiful they were! Just then, I watched my mother pick up one of the dandelions. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds (野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions. I don’t want you to do that! All the flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!” I said in a loud voice.
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way,” she told me. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added. When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said.
Thanks to my mother’s encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.

36. The girl didn’t play the role of the princess mainly because she lost her interest in that role.

38. The girl liked the dandelions so much that she didn’t want her mother to dig them all up.
39. The girl’s mother played the role of the narrator instead of the girl at last.

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly, or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
If you do, you need to control your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.
Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, wrote My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells teenagers how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can not make them better. “Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily, and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.
When a baby falls over, it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby, you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.
The book gives many suggestions to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.
◇Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.
◇Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
◇ Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh!

Now three kinds of tools in the 21st century classroom—a whiteboard, a computer screen and some audio tools (音频工具) are common. They have made a big difference in how students learn. An interactive (互动) whiteboard allows the teacher to show pictures and provide sound as well. A large computer screen has colorful pictures and sound in it. So many students’ attention is attracted by what they see and hear. Different kinds of audio tools, such as earphones (耳机) and microphones (麦克风), also help to make sure that everyone can hear the teacher. In the past, if a child missed some of what the teacher said, the child may have been too nervous to ask the teacher to repeat it. Now the students are not likely to miss what the teacher says with these audio tools.
The 21st century classroom is able to teach students more than one thing. Just imagine an English lesson is given in a modern classroom like this. How would it be different from a classroom in the past? The answer is simple. The students would learn about not only the subject itself but also how to use the modern machines.
