Shay asked, “Do you think they’ll let me play?” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, who was disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him some confidence．Shay’s father came to one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much．The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs(分) and the game is in the eighth inning(局). I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat(击球) in the final inning.Shay came to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in his heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. He was clearly glad just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, next was Shay at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch(投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game. Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams st arted screaming, “Shay, run to first! ” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base.Everyone shouted. “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher and he too threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.All were screaming, “Shay,Shay, Shay, all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home!”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his parents so happy!1．Why was Shay given the bat in the bottom of the final inning?A．Because the boys believed they were sure to win the game.B．Because the boys would like to help Shay enjoy the game.C．Because the boys found Shay hoped to be a winner.D．Because the boys were forced to give Shay another chance.2．The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably because that boy _____. A．was clearly aware of the pitcher’s purposeB．looked forward to winning the game for his teamC．failed to throw the ball to the second basemanD．saw that Shay already reached second base3．Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team?A．The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.B．The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.C．The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.D．One of the opposing players ran to help him.4．What do you think is the theme of the story?A．True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.B．Everyone has his own strength even if he is disabled.C．Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and make his parents happy.D．The results of the game should not be the only purpose of the players.F18、Speaking two or more languages are useful. You can travel in another country easily. You can talk with strangers there. Ordering delicious food there is easy for you. Besides these things, speaking more languages is also good for you in many ways.Adults who have spoken two languages seem to have better cognitive flexibility (认知灵活性), they are better able to accept a new thing than people who only speak one language. When they do the same work, people who know more language can finish more quickly.

They can understand certain words in a different way, such as, the word “sport” in English and Chinese. They can understand it easily and fast.Anyone can get Alzheimer (老年痴呆症). People who can speak two languages may develop the illness at least four years later than people who only speak one language. The result was got from 450 Alzheimer’s patients.The study included 121 children. They all learn foreign languages. They can complete math problems faster.

Walking in cool rushing water to catch the small, silver fish was a fun chance on a hot summer's day. Before setting out for the river in their neighborhood, however, children first had to look for a bag. Both boys and girls loved this outdoor activity a lot.While reaching the side of the river, the children pulled off their shoes and socks and put their feet first into thecold water. Walking carefully in the water, they looked for the right place where the minnows flashed (闪光). Catching minnows was very easy if two children worked together. Taking two corners of the bag, each child stood in the water and slowly lowered the bag until it was at the bottom of the river. Then, standing very still (静止的), the children waited for the fish in the river to do normal activity. The children would again get a corner of the bag in each hand and raise the bag straight up quickly, keeping it as level as possible. Lots of tiny silver fish would cover the bag.The joy of catching minnows is that, once caught, the fish are thrown back into the water to continue their natural lives. Perhaps they will be taken up by other children and then return to their watery home again. So the bag is lowered back into the river, and the small fish swim off. Then the whole process is repeated once more as more minnows are caught and then released (释放).1．Why did children first have to look for a bag?A．They looked for something to protect themselves.B．They looked for the tool to catch fish.C．They had to use the bag to take the fish home.D．They had to use the bag to divide the fish.2．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A．Why the children catch minnows.B．Why the children like playing in the water.C．When the children go to the river.D．How the children catch minnows.3．What does the underlined word “lowered” mean in Chinese?A．把……混合B．把……擦掉C．把……放低D．把……分开4．How do the children deal with the fish they catch?A．They throw them back into the water. B．They take them home and cook them.C．They keep them as pets. D．They sell them for money.B14、Black is the color of power. It has the meaning of submission（服从）.

White is popular in fashion because it is light and goes with everything.Red is a hot and strong color. It can make the heart beat faster. It is also the color of love. Red clothes can make people look heavier. And red things get noticed more than things that are another color.The color of the sky and the ocean, blue, is one of the most popular colors. It is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and make people feel sad.Green means nature. It is the most comfortable color on the eyes and can improve vision（视力）. It is a calming color. Hospitals often use green because it can make patients relax.Yellow is the most difficult color for the eyes to take in. Yellow is the color of sunshine. It is a warm color like red.

On the other hand, it means fear and dishonest behavior.1．Black is a color often used in fashion because it can make people look ___.A．powerful B．relaxed C．thinner D．heavier2．Red is the color of ____ according to the passage.A．fear B．love C．joy D．sadness3．The best color to make an excited person calm down is ________.A．white B．blue C．green D．yellow4．In the sentence “He is too yellow to stand up and fight”, “yellow”most probably means “____”.A．sad B．happy C．brave D．afraidC15、Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventur e and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.Volcano SurfingOn Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, peoplehave also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.Land DivingMost people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity. 1．In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?A．People. B．Animals.C．Activities. D．Islands.2．According to the passage, Mount Yasur ______.A．is no longer active B．is on Pentecost IslandC．erupts almost every day D．rises 800 meters into the sky3．Why have people recently started climbing Mount Yasur?A．People can climb it easily.B．People can make money.C．People can watch snow on it.D．People can surf the volcano.4．Which of the following about land diving is true?A．It is not dangerous at all.B．It was first called “bungee jumping”.C．It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.D．It came to Vanuatu from another country.5．What is the purpose of the passage?A．To tell people not to do dangerous sports.B．To explain what volcano surfing and land diving are.C．To talk about the world’s best volcano surfer and land diver.D．To compare activities in Vanuatu with sports in New Zealand.D16、Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self-improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular.For this, the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming year. Here are some suggestions for New Year’s resolutions(决定).Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic(现实的). Winning the lottery(彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions____, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, “ I want to exercise every day” or “I will cut down on my television watching”. At last, break down l arge goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by joining a gym or improving your eating habits.Your New Year’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy that you like, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper that you have completed as some time passes.1．People find ways to achieve self-improvement for_______________.A．having more money B．being perfectC．losing weight D．making more friends2．Winning the lottery may not come true because_______________.A．it’s not realisticB．it’s a very large goalC．it takes a long timeD．it’s not a New’s Year’s resolution3．What does the underlined phrase “ in detail” mean in Chinese?A．默默地B．犹豫地C．详细地D．激动地4．What should people do after writing down the goals on a piece of paper?A．Throw the paper away.B．Share the goals with others.C．Put it somewhere they can see.D．Never mention the goals to others.5．The writer wants to tell us ______ in the passage.A．when to make New Year’s resolu tionsB．why to make New Year’s resolutionsC．where to make New Year’s resolutionsD．how to make New Year’s resolutionsE17、Last year, some groups of students in their community (社区) made a survey about “How do people spend their free time? ” The following diagrams(图表) show some results of it:Diagram (1): Hours for people of different ages who surf the Internet in a week.Diagram (2): Different days people go to the library.

The study is online. People have to choose a song by the Beatles and describe the memories that they have when they listen to it.Reminiscence bumpMorrison explained that they looked at different age groups and their memories. We often remember more from when we are teenagers and this is called “the reminiscence bump”. This is the time in y our life when you form your idea of who you are. For older people who have memories related to the Beatles’ music, most of those memories are from when they were teenagers. But younger people also had clear personal memories from their past.She loves youThis study was different from other memory studies, because people remembered events from their past with lots more details. Morrison explained: “It was like people had travelled back to the past, and they had very clear memories of things that had happened. When they heard a song like She Loves You by the Beatles, they could remember one night in autumn 123.They remembered what they were wearing, what the weather was like and what their friend said to them. You get a lot more information than if you just s ay, ‘tell me about a night you remember’. ”The study has found that music could be used with people who have problems remembering the past. “You could use music to help improve people’s ability to remember,” said Morrison. “In the future, we would like to do more experiments to see how useful music is in helping people to remember the past, and compare it to other things that might also help.”1．Professor Conway and Dr. Morrison’s research aims to _____________.A．see how music can help people remember the pastB．study old songs’ influence on people’s behaviorC．find out what influences people’s memories of the pastD．find ways to help people with memory difficulties2．The example of She Loves You is used to show that ___________.A．love songs can help people to have clearer memoriesB．songs tell stories that are similar to our experiencesC．music can take people back to their teenage yearsD．people can remember more details with the help of music3．Morrison’s team’s future research is probably on ___________.A．why some people have memory problemsB．what methods can best help people bring back memoriesC．how music can help people in their studies or workD．how to help older people remember more details about the pastⅤ.书面表达19、近来，许多学校正在进行平安校园建设，我校也不例外。
