“The real journey of discovery is not in exploring（勘探）new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” I have forgotten where I read the words, 11 I didn’t catch its real meaning until a hot summer afternoon.
Several days before that afternoon, I happened to learn about a museum called McNay in a magazine. It used to be the home of a(n) 12 named Marian McNay. To share her works with more people, she had asked the community to turn it into a museum. I showed a(n) interest in the story of the museum, so I couldn’t wait to invite Sally to the museum with me. Before starting our trip, she asked, “Do you have the 13 ” “Yes, of course. That is double one zero on New Braunfels Street.”
Although there were no signs outside on the building, we 14 found it. The museum was free. But just as we entered, the people in the hall 15 talking in a sudden and all watched at us.
“May I help you?” a well-dressed young lady asked politely. “Oh, thank you. We’re fine.”
Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed 16 keeping their eyes on me all the time. “What was their problem?” I wondered.
While I lost myself in the beauty of those attractive works of art, the same 17 came into my ears, but this time it seemed a little bit unpleasant, “Where do you think you are?” “The McNay Art Museum! What’s up?” “Sorry, young lady, the McNay Museum is not at No.101 but No.110” Seeing my confused（困惑的）looking, she continued, “Well, it’s my house No.101, New Braunfels Street.” I was shocked by what I heard. I embarrassedly（尴尬地）went to the stair and 18 out, “Sally! Come down, quickly!”
“There’re some really good works there.” She stepped down looking confused. I 19 her towards the front door, saying, “We are so sorry, but you have a really wonderful house.” “That’s OK. But didn’t you find out you had mistaken my bouse for the McNay Museum you would have gone to?” “Oh, well, haven’t you realized how 20 your home is? The fine paintings, artistic sculptures are all around, and even the elegant furniture seems like pieces works of art.”
The lady said 21 looking around her house quite carefully as if it had been the first time she visited the house which she had been living for over twenty years.
Finally, looking into my eyes, she said, “Thank you so much. Your visiting has made me realize that we should not care too much about what we haven’t got, but pay much 22 to what we have had.”

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away from Captain Nemo. Then he could finally be free. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so
interested in Crescent Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea. It is a perfect place for hunting.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks a month ago. These tanks
would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked on electric batteries.
When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went in, and then we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The“trees”in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.
—Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (selection)

Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we
may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media
(传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this
only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other
activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what
do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no
influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches
have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests.
Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble
sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot
more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing
schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she
will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to
check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even
the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at
night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
30．According to the article, young people use media for about ___________ every week.
A．55 hours B．65 hours C．75 hours D．85 hours
31．The underlined word “multi-taskers” in Paragraph 2 refers to people who __________.
A．ask a lot of questions B．use different media for learning
C．have several mobile phones D．do several tasks at the same time
32．Which of the following statements about using media is TRUE?
A．People only use media for enjoyment.
B．Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them.
C．The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts.
D．Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson.
33．What is the article mainly about?
A．Social media is very popular among young people.
B．Using media too much has a bad influence on young people.
C．The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages.
D．Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning.
D
In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind.
Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men.
Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had gone.
The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us.
“Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”
I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price.
We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not.
Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper.
Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
34．What do you know from Paragraph 1?
A．Seventeen people left the island on the ship. B．There were so many gold coins in the ships.
C．Many people lost their lives for the treasure. D．Only the writer found gold coins in the cave.
35．Which is the right order of the story?
①We sailed into the port. ②We sailed out of North Inlet.
③We moved all the gold to the beach. ④We took it by boat to the Hispaniola.
A．③②④① B．③④②① C．②①④③ D．②④①③
36．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．A story about looking for treasure. B．A story about living on an island.
C．A story about taking a relaxing trip. D．A story about finding different jobs.

I used to think calligraphy was a waste of time. I didn’t understand why people spent hours writing characters. My father, however, loved calligraphy. He practiced every evening after work.
Last year, my father asked me to learn calligraphy with him. I didn’t want to, but I agreed to make him happy. At first, I was very impatient. I couldn’t write the characters well, and I wanted to give up. But my father told me to be patient and keep practicing.
Slowly, I started to enjoy it. Writing calligraphy made me feel calm. I also learned about Chinese history and culture from the characters. Now, I practice calligraphy every weekend with my father. It has become our special time together. I even joined the calligraphy club at my school.

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away from Captain Nemo. Then he could finally be free. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so
interested in Crescent Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea. It is a perfect place for hunting.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks a month ago. These tanks
would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked on electric batteries.
When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went in, and then we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The“trees”in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.
—Adapted from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (selection)

Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we
may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media
(传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this
only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other
activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what
do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no
influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches
have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests.
Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble
sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot
more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing
schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she
will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to
check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even
the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at
night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
30．According to the article, young people use media for about ___________ every week.
A．55 hours B．65 hours C．75 hours D．85 hours
31．The underlined word “multi-taskers” in Paragraph 2 refers to people who __________.
A．ask a lot of questions B．use different media for learning
C．have several mobile phones D．do several tasks at the same time
32．Which of the following statements about using media is TRUE?
A．People only use media for enjoyment.
B．Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them.
C．The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts.
D．Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson.
33．What is the article mainly about?
A．Social media is very popular among young people.
B．Using media too much has a bad influence on young people.
C．The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages.
D．Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning.

In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind.
Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men.
Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had gone.
The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us.
“Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”
I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price.
We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not.
Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper.
Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
34．What do you know from Paragraph 1?
A．Seventeen people left the island on the ship. B．There were so many gold coins in the ships.
C．Many people lost their lives for the treasure. D．Only the writer found gold coins in the cave.
35．Which is the right order of the story?
①We sailed into the port. ②We sailed out of North Inlet.
③We moved all the gold to the beach. ④We took it by boat to the Hispaniola.
A．③②④① B．③④②① C．②①④③ D．②④①③
36．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．A story about looking for treasure. B．A story about living on an island.
C．A story about taking a relaxing trip. D．A story about finding different jobs.

“The real journey of discovery is not in exploring（勘探）new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” I have forgotten where I read the words, 11 I didn’t catch its real meaning until a hot summer afternoon.
Several days before that afternoon, I happened to learn about a museum called McNay in a magazine. It used to be the home of a(n) 12 named Marian McNay. To share her works with more people, she had asked the community to turn it into a museum. I showed a(n) interest in the story of the museum, so I couldn’t wait to invite Sally to the museum with me. Before starting our trip, she asked, “Do you have the 13 ” “Yes, of course. That is double one zero on New Braunfels Street.”
Although there were no signs outside on the building, we 14 found it. The museum was free. But just as we entered, the people in the hall 15 talking in a sudden and all watched at us.
“May I help you?” a well-dressed young lady asked politely. “Oh, thank you. We’re fine.”
Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed 16 keeping their eyes on me all the time. “What was their problem?” I wondered.
While I lost myself in the beauty of those attractive works of art, the same 17 came into my ears, but this time it seemed a little bit unpleasant, “Where do you think you are?” “The McNay Art Museum! What’s up?” “Sorry, young lady, the McNay Museum is not at No.101 but No.110” Seeing my confused（困惑的）looking, she continued, “Well, it’s my house No.101, New Braunfels Street.” I was shocked by what I heard. I embarrassedly（尴尬地）went to the stair and 18 out, “Sally! Come down, quickly!”
“There’re some really good works there.” She stepped down looking confused. I 19 her towards the front door, saying, “We are so sorry, but you have a really wonderful house.” “That’s OK. But didn’t you find out you had mistaken my bouse for the McNay Museum you would have gone to?” “Oh, well, haven’t you realized how 20 your home is? The fine paintings, artistic sculptures are all around, and even the elegant furniture seems like pieces works of art.”
The lady said 21 looking around her house quite carefully as if it had been the first time she visited the house which she had been living for over twenty years.
Finally, looking into my eyes, she said, “Thank you so much. Your visiting has made me realize that we should not care too much about what we haven’t got, but pay much 22 to what we have had.”

It was a week before I saw Captain Nemo again. Every morning, I noticed fresh air coming into the rooms and I knew that the Nautilus had surfaced (浮出水面). I would go out and see the sunrise.
Then I received a note from Captain Nemo. He invited me and my friends to go hunting with him in the forests of Crescent Island. Ned was excited because he thought there he could find a chance to run away from Captain Nemo. Then he could finally be free. When I saw Captain Nemo the next day, I asked him why he was so
interested in Crescent Island. “I thought you preferred the sea to being on land.”
“I do,” replied the Captain, “But these forests are under the sea. It is a perfect place for hunting.” During breakfast, he explained that he had made diving suits (潜水服) that used special air tanks a month ago. These tanks
would allow us to stay under the water for ten hours. He had also made lights that worked on electric batteries.
When Ned realized that we were not going onto land for our hunting trip, he decided not to come at all.
Conseil and I put on our diving suits, and so did Captain Nemo and one of his men. We stepped into a room and closed the door. The room was filled with water, and another door opened. We went in, and then we were on the sea floor. It was an amazing experience.
We were about ten metres under the water. The light from the sun reached us. Everything looked very colourful. We walked over the fine sand and enjoyed the colours of the shells, fish and seaweed. Conseil and I followed Captain Nemo and his man as they crossed a large grassy area. We were going deeper and deeper. Two hours later, we were a hundred metres under the water. The suits worked very well, and it was easy to walk and breathe.
At one hundred metres deep, we could still see quite well, and Captain Nemo stopped and pointed to some dark shapes. This was the forest. The“trees”in the forest were giant seaweed, and all their branches were vertical (垂直的). We could not stop looking at them. Fish swam around the branches like birds in a forest. Small bushes grew under the large seaweed trees. Some of them had flowers.
We walked through this forest for about an hour, and then we lay down to rest. I was not hungry, but I was very sleepy. We all slept, and when we woke up, we walked further.

Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we
may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media
(传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this
only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other
activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what
do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no
influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches
have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests.
Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble
sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot
more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing
schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she
will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to
check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even
the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at
night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
30．According to the article, young people use media for about ___________ every week.
A．55 hours B．65 hours C．75 hours D．85 hours
31．The underlined word “multi-taskers” in Paragraph 2 refers to people who __________.
A．ask a lot of questions B．use different media for learning
C．have several mobile phones D．do several tasks at the same time
32．Which of the following statements about using media is TRUE?
A．People only use media for enjoyment.
B．Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them.
C．The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts.
D．Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson.
33．What is the article mainly about?
A．Social media is very popular among young people.
B．Using media too much has a bad influence on young people.
C．The use of social media has both advantages and disadvantages.
D．Mobile phones are the main tools students use for school learning.

In the cave, I saw gold coins in a corner. They were Flint’s treasure! We had come so far to find this. Already it had cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And how many others? How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea? How many brave men had been killed for this? Perhaps no man alive could tell from view, and I had never felt happier to leave a place behind.
Next morning, we moved all the gold to the beach. Then we took it by boat to the Hispaniola. It was a big job for so small a number of men.
Then at last, one sunny morning, we sailed out of North Inlet and towards the nearest port (港口) in Spanish America. Before afternoon, Treasure Island had gone.
The sun was going down when we sailed into the port, and the doctor and Mr. Trelawney took me to the beach. When we came back, Ben Gunn was waiting for us.
“Silver has gone,” he told us, “but not empty-handed. He’s taken one of the bags of coins perhaps worth three or four hundred guineas.”
I think we were all pleased to lose the bad man at so small a price.
We found some sailors for the ship at the port, and then had a good journey home. Only five of the men who had sailed from Bristol with the Hispaniola returned with her. We all took a large piece of the treasure. Some used it wisely, but some did not.
Captain Smollett no longer goes to sea. Gray saved his money and now is a half-owner and captain of a fine ship. Ben Gunn got a thousand pounds which he spent or lost in three weeks, then he came begging and was given a job as a gatekeeper.
Of Silver we have heard no more. That scary seaman with one leg has gone out of my life. I will never return to Treasure Island, but in my worst dreams I still hear the sharp, high cries of Captain Flint the parrot, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
34．What do you know from Paragraph 1?
A．Seventeen people left the island on the ship. B．There were so many gold coins in the ships.
C．Many people lost their lives for the treasure. D．Only the writer found gold coins in the cave.
35．Which is the right order of the story?
①We sailed into the port. ②We sailed out of North Inlet.
③We moved all the gold to the beach. ④We took it by boat to the Hispaniola.
A．③②④① B．③④②① C．②①④③ D．②④①③
36．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．A story about looking for treasure. B．A story about living on an island.
C．A story about taking a relaxing trip. D．A story about finding different jobs.

I used to think calligraphy was a waste of time. I didn’t understand why people spent hours writing characters. My father, however, loved calligraphy. He practiced every evening after work.
Last year, my father asked me to learn calligraphy with him. I didn’t want to, but I agreed to make him happy. At first, I was very impatient. I couldn’t write the characters well, and I wanted to give up. But my father told me to be patient and keep practicing.
Slowly, I started to enjoy it. Writing calligraphy made me feel calm. I also learned about Chinese history and culture from the characters. Now, I practice calligraphy every weekend with my father. It has become our special time together. I even joined the calligraphy club at my school.
Calligraphy has changed my life. It taught me the importance of patience. It also brought me closer to my father. I will keep practicing it for a long time.
