This is how we normally see objects clearly. Light travels at different speeds in different materials. It moves faster in air, but slower in water. When light slows down at the surface, it changes direction a little. Your eyes see a shifted image. Because the light changes direction, it reaches your eyes from a different angle. Your brain thinks the straw is in a different place. So it looks like the straw is broken! 9. How does light usually travel through air? A. It moves in circles. B. It goes up and down. C.

B I can never talk without stuttering(口吃).Today I was taking over my friend Rats paper job dropping papers at neighbours’ front doors and collecting payments for the next week’s service, as he was on vacation with his parents. The first five houses on my list were easy. The envelopes(信封) were right there—in the screen door or on the mailbox, so I didn’t have to say a word to anyone. But the sixth house at 1219 Vinton was my first doorbell. I had never before in my life walked up to the front door to call a stranger. I heard the bell through the screen door, and the sound made inside jump. Soon a man in a white shirt started toward the door and then stopped when he saw me. “I think it’s the paperboy, honey. Where’s the envelope?” A woman’s voice from the kitchen said she’ d forgotten how much it was. The man walked to the screen door, “How much, son?” I knew exactly how much. Ninety-five cents. But the word “ninety” was as difficult for me to say as any word starting with P. I was thinking about saying Sixty cents because of the word “ninety” starts with the easy S sound on both words, but I would be losing money if I did that. I also thought about rounding it off by saying One dollar, but people might think I was dishonest. Then I tried a trick that sometimes worked at school. I threw my pencil in the air with my right hand. The moment it spun, the words left my mouth, “s-s-s-s-Ninety-five cents.” But as usual, I got nervous and it dropped onto the ground. The man opened the screen door and handed me a dollar bill. I took out a coin from my pocket and offered it to him. “Keep it, son,” he said, then turned away. My first doorbell had gone better than expected. I’d even gotten my first tip. And now I had four more houses to go and I felt a little more confident. Maybe this collecting job would be a bit easier later. —Adapted from Paperboy 12. How many houses in total did the boy need to visit that day? A. Five. B. Six C. Nine D. Ten. 13. Why did the boy find it difficult to say “Ninety-five cents”? A. Because he forgot the exact price B. Because he had trouble with the first sound C. Because he was too nervous and shy to speak. D. Because he wanted to ask for more money for the service. 14. Which of the following shows the boy’s feelings during the paper job? A. easy-worried-scared-excited B. nervous-calm-relaxed-hopeful C. nervous-scared-confident-proud D. easy-nervous-surprised-confident 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the story? A. My First Doorbell B. A Kind Neighbour C. My Favourite Job D. A Five-cent Tip C ①Have you ever noticed that some kids love going to big parties or hanging out with a group of friends, while others prefer to stay at home, read a book, or just enjoy their peaceful time? Well, there’s a reason for that! It has to do with your personality. ②Psychologists say there are two main kinds of people: E-people and I-people. Let me tell you what they’ re like. ③E-people love being around other people. They feel energized when they’re with friends, going to parties, or doing fun group activities. For them, happiness is all about sharing laughs, stories, and exciting things with others. ④I-people like quiet time. They feel more relaxed and happy when they’re alone, doing things like reading, drawing, or just watching movies. They don’t need a lot of people around to feel good. They just need themselves and their favorite activities. ⑤But here’s the cool thing: Neither way is better! Both E-people and I-people can be happy, as long as they do what they enjoy. It’s like finding your favorite taste of ice cream—some people love chocolate, while others love strawberry. Both are great, but it depends on what you like. ⑥The most important thing is to understand yourself and do what makes you happy. Life is about finding what works for you and enjoying every minute. After all, happiness is like a jigsaw(拼图)—each piece is different, but when they fit together, they make your life complete. ⑦So, whether you prefer laughing with friends or enjoying quiet moment alone, embrace your true self. Be yourself, and your life will be filled with joy! 16. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By listing numbers. C. By telling stories. D. By giving examples. 17. What does the underlined word “energized” mean in Paragraph 3? A. bored B. active C. tired D. nervous 18. What can we know about I-people from Paragraph 4? A. They like sharing with others. B. They prefer to join big parties. C. They need a lot of people around. D. They enjoy reading by themselves. 19. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? 20. What’s the main purpose of this passage? A. To compare the advantages of E-people and I-people. B. To explain why people have different personalities. C. To tell people which personality is better. D. To encourage people to accept themselves and be themselves. 二、完形填空 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) Knowing about yourself means not only that you find out what you’ re good at and what you like, but it also means discovering what you’ re not good at and what you don’t like.

Dogs are seen as friendly and laid-back. Do these stereotypes (刻板印象) have any basis in reality? Psychologist Sam Gosling asked pet owners to describe their own personalities. Cat people tend to be solitary —enjoy spending time alone. They are also more creative. Dog people tend to be outgoing, energetic and relaxed. They are more likely to see themselves as “responsible and loyal”. Asking people to describe their own personalities has limit Everyone wants to look good. So researchers used object recognition technology to identify users who posted pictures of cats or dogs on social media. Then they compared what those people shared online. Dog people looked more social and easygoing. They averaged more friends on social media than cat people and posted more often about feeling proud or excited. Cat people were more likely to be single and to post about feeling tired, annoyed; of sad. But cat people also seemed more intellectual and open-minded. They liked social media pages about books, TV shows, and movies more than dog people did. Sometimes people disagree with these findings because they can think of exceptions. Some cat owners are outgoing. Some dog owners are worriers. That doesn’t make research on cat and dog people wrong. Most research focuses on groups of people. It describes what is true in general, not what is true for each individual. Pet owners’ personalities might affect pet preferences (偏好) because people choose pets that they think match their personalities. It seems logical for people who like alone time to choose cats. It makes sense for active, outgoing people to choose dogs. But it may not be that simple. Pet choices also might influence pet owners’ personalities, “It wouldn’t be surprising if it works both ways,” Gosling says. 51. What are cat people like according to Gosling? 52. Why did researchers use object recognition technology? 53. Who posted more often about feeling proud or excited? 54. What’s the possible relationship between pet owners’ personalities and pet choices? 55. How do you think choosing a pet that matches our personality benefits us? 六、书面表达 (20分) 假如你是李华，你校英文校刊”Sunshine Post”正在举办征文活动，主题为”My personality and my teenage problem”。请你写一篇短文投稿。 What should be included: 1.
