The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison( 监狱) . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.At that moment, I thought to myself, “ Why aren’t most adults this way?” Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed(尴尬的) that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it.They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure( 失败) .However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure,instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. Theanswer must be that they have not connected “ falling down” with the word “ failure” .What’s more,they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so.In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.14.What did the little boy do when he fell down?A. He cried and lay on the grass.B. He asked his mother for help.C. He got up and went on running.D.

A learning experience.16.In the write r’s opinion,why can’t many adults succeed?A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.B. Because they can’t find a good excuse.C. Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.D. Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.17.The under lined word “ attempt” in Paragraph 2 means .A. 尝试B. 放弃C. 面对D. 怀疑18.What does the writer want to tell us?A. Practice makes perfect.B.

It harnesses the sun’s energy and converts it into electricity or heat. This form of energy is not only sustainable but also environmentally friendly. Solar panels, which are essential components of solar energy systems, are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that convert sunlight directly into electricity.Countries with plenty of sunshine, such as Australia and those located in the Middle East, can benefit greatly from solar energy. However, advancements in technology have made solar energy viable even in regions that do not receive abundant sunshine year-round. For instance, Germany, known for its cloudy weather, has embraced solar energy and now ranks among the world leaders in solar power adoption.Another advantage of solar energy is its versatility. Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, integrated into building materials, or set up in large arrays in open fields. This adaptability makes solar energy accessible to both urban and rural areas, providing a reliable source of energy for homes, businesses, and communities.Despite these advantages, there are challenges associated with solar energy. One of the main issues is the intermittency of the sun’s availability, meaning that energy cannot be generated during nighttime hours or when skies are overcast.However, this challenge is being addressed through the development of better storage technologies that allow excess energy generated during daylight hours to be stored and used later.In conclusion, while there are still hurdles to overcome, the potential benefits of solar energy make it a promising solution to our growing energy needs. With continued innovation and investment, solar energy could play a pivotal role in meeting future energy demands while reducing the environmental impact of power generation.Questions:1.What are the main components of solar energy systems that convert sunlight into electricity?2.Despite being known for its cloudy weather, which country has become a leader in adopting solar energy?3.What challenge does solar energy face, and how are scientists addressing this issue?Answers:1.Photovoltaic (PV) cells.2.Germany.3.The challenge is the intermittency of the sun’s availability; scientists are addressing this issue through the development of better storage technologies. Feel free to adjust the difficulty level or ask for modifications based on specific curriculum requirements or student proficiency levels.三、完型填空（15分）Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.For many students, the first day of school is a mix of excitement and anxiety.(1) __________, the first day of school can be a difficult time for them.

"I see much poor English in everyday life，and not only on signs，not real English.For example，when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Guizhou Province'，which should be "No Entry"，"Direction of Airport" should be changed to "To the Airport".And it is "Room Rate"，rather than "Care of the green".The next time you walk on the street or eat in the restaurant，you can go and see if the expressions are right.（1）Who seldom uses letter of "WC" according to the passage？A.Chinese students.B.Foreigners from other countries.C.Teachers in China.D.English﹣speaking foreigners.（2）What's the attitude（态度）of the government towards the bad English on signs？A.It's native.B.It should be changed.C.It doesn't matter.D.It can be used on signs.（3）How does Nancy feel when she sees WC or water closet？A.She thinks it is native English.B.She thinks it is dirty.C.She thinks it is right.D.She likes to use it.（4）Which of the following is right？4．（8分）My 14﹣year﹣old son，John，and I saw the coat at the same time in a second﹣hand clothing store.It stood out among big and old coats.It was so beautiful and had an unbelievable price，but John's eyes shone.Dark，woolen coats were popular with teenage boys，eyeing himself in the mirror.It fit him so well.John wore the coat to school the next day.After he came home，I asked，"Did the kids like your coat？""They love it，"he said with a big grin．Over the next few weeks，John changed.He was polite，less argumentative，and much happier."Good dinner，mom."he would say every evening.Without a word of complaining，John，who always put things off，"You're right.I guess I will." When I mentioned this change to one of his teachers，she joked that the coat must have changed him.John and I both know we should never judge a person by his clothes.But it is true that when wearing beautiful and suitable clothes，we may try to be better in thought，speech and behavior to match what is on the inside to what is on the outside.（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph？A．The price of the coat was too high.B．John liked the coat very much.C．They often went shopping together.D．The writer didn't want to buy the coat.（2）What does the underlined word "grin" mean？A．咧嘴笑.B．生气.C．不安.D．惊奇.（3）What did John use to do when he was asked to study？A．Start to once.B．Put off his homework.C．Work hard on schoolwork.D．Carry in wood for the stove.（4）What does the writer want to say through this passage？A．What we wear could help what we are.B．Life is full of possibilities when we are young.C．We should not judge people by their appearance.D．It's a good choice to try different things in our lives.四．单词拼写（共8小题，计8分）根据首字母及汉语提示，完成下列单词的拼写，使句意明确，语言通顺。

Then on the first of July, he left for West Hill Farm.But four days later, he returned home.“What was wrong with West Hill Farm?” his best friend, Ed, asked him. “Didn’t you enjoy country life?”“Country life was very good,” Henry said. “But there was another problem.”“Oh.

Because they don't spend much time with me，they always feel guilty (内疚的) and will buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want. My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.I used to take everything for granted (理所当然) and I never said “thank you” to people. As time went by，I found that my classmates didn't like me and my best friends left me. One day，I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was mean (自私的)，rude and bad-tempered (坏脾气)．“No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything！”he said. I was shocked at his words. “Oh，no! Please don't leave. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends！” I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how？”Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class are friendly to others. They always smile and say “thank you” to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. “I need to change! I will get myfri ends back,” I said to myself. From then on，I started to change myself. I learned to say “thank you” to others，I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to playwith them and even told me their secrets.

These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.More and more traffic accidents are happening because drivers use mobile phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, heads-down tribe members who use mobile phones while driving will be fined ¥200.As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost money. Besides, more and more interesting things happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. According to a piece of interesting TV news, a man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. Suddenly, he bumped(撞上) into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so scared that he ran away as quickly as possible.Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone all the time.Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern life. Are mobile phones good orbad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try not to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.12．Who are called the “ Heads-down Tribe” according t o the passage?A．People who are always looking for something with their heads down.B．People who are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down.
