My 11-year-old son, Tom, for years would fight with me over everything. If I said the sky was blue, he would say it was black. For years he was falling several subjects. We took games away, then TV and finally the smart phone; we tried a reward program, but nothing worked long. He would bring a grade up to get all his things back, and then go back to where he had been.My daughter told me one day to bring him to her karate class, and maybe life in the martial arts (武术) would help him turn around. At first he didn't like it because he had to ask for permission to do everything and he had to say "yes, sir" and "no, sir" for everything. He even had to respect his sister because she was of a high level. So he wanted to stop. However, my husband told my son, "If I can do this at the age of 40, so can you." And since then my husband would learn martial arts three or four times a week with them.My son learned so much about a better way of living: respecting others, following the rules, and above all, respecting himself. I am proud to say both of my kids are now high honor students, and we could not be closer than we are.There is always an answer to your problem. If you do your research or just ask another person, or even a kid for help, you will find it. And when it comes to our kids, the right answer is always worth finding.26. Before Tom learned karate,__________.A. he didn't have a good sense of colourB. his parents tried many ways to change himC. he studied very hard to please his parentsD. he didn't show any interest in physical exercise27. What does the underlined word "reward" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Worth.B. Praise.C. Punishment.D. Prize.28. Why didn't Tom like his karate class at first?A. It was too tiring for him.B.

However, whether you are in the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your choice of sports might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry (资源饥渴). Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environment effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you can take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sports you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacement for traditional health clubs and modern sports stadiums. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.31. Which of the following does the author most probably like?A. Cycling around a lake.B. Driving a car on the street.C. Playing basketball in a gym.D. Swimming in a sports centre.32. What do you know about golf from Paragraph 2?A. It is unpopular in Portugal and Spain.B. It causes water shortage around the world.C. It protects the earth from chemicals and waste.D. It needs water and energy to keep its courses green.33. What does the underlined word "them" in the Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Resource-hungry sports.B. Outdoors sports.C. Environment-friendly sports.D. Indoors sports.34. The author uses power walking as an example mainly because_________.A. it is an outdoor sportB. it improves our healthC. it uses fewer resourcesD. it is recommended by friends35. The author writes the passage to__________.A. show us the function of major sportsB. encourage us to go in for green sportsC. discuss the major influence of popular sportsD. introduce different types of environment-friendly sportsCDo you like making paper planes? If you like origami (折纸), we're sure you enjoy making paper planes, too. All it takes is some paper and a new simple supply. And paper planes can be fun to fly around the houses or outside the yard.No one knows for sure when the first paper plane was created. Sometimes, historians give credit to Leonardo da Vinci. However, paper folding and kite making were both popular in Asia hundreds of years ago, so it's likely that the first paper plane may have been made long, long ago.In some Asian countries, the art of folding paper is called origami. Some people call the art of making paper planes aerogami.Since paper planes flow (流动) through the air, they can teach scientists and engineers a lot about basic concepts of flight, engineering and aerodynamics （空气动力学）In fact, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) （美国航天航空局）once sent a paper plane into space on a space shuttle!If you are wondering how a paper plane would fly in outer space, you might be surprised by the answer. According to scientists, paper planes won't actually fly in outer space. Instead, paper planes would simply float in astraight line and could possibly float forever unless they hit another object!The Wright brothers also used paper planes to test out their theories about flight before making their first flight. They built a wind tunnel and used paper planes to gain a better understanding of how their plane would operate in the wind.So just how far can a paper plane fly? On February 28, 2012, former college quarterback Joe Ayoob set the world record for the longest paper plane flight. He threw a paper plane the entire length of a warehouse, setting the record at 226 feet, 10 inches. That broke the old record by 19 feet, 6 inches!36. The author thinks making paper planes__________.A. is difficult activity for childrenB. has its value to flightC.shows that the Asians are cleverD. is one of the most important discoveries37. Why did scientists send a paper plane into outer space?A. To perform a special task.B. To observe how it would fly.C. To help astronauts.D. To find some pleasure.38. What might make you want to know about a paper plane in outer space?A. It would fly as we expect.B. It would not move at all.C. It would hit another object.D. It would float in an unusual way.39. Which of the following is true?A. Leonardo da Vinci created the first paper plane.B. NASA once flew a paper plane in a space shuttle.C. The Wright brothers used paper planes to test their flight theories.D. Joe Ayoob set the world record for the longest paper plane flight at 19 feet, 6 inches.40. What is the best title for the passage?A.The paper plane's influence on flight.B. The history of making paper planes.C. The invention of planes.D. The art of making paper planes. (D)41. Who is the passage mainly written for?A. Parents.B. Teachers.C. Children.D. Reporters.42. According to the passage, we can know that_________.A. applications should be emailed to kidspress@B. applicants who fail to meet the deadline will be considered as wellC. applicants only need to fill in an application to apply for the postD. decisions will be announced in November43. What can be learned from the passage?A. The address of the Scholastic News Kids Press Corps is 557 Broadway, New York.B. You must be at least 10 years old by September 25, 2020.C.

Experts believe that leads to the deaths of millions of people every year.Sidibe, a public health expert says soap is "the most beautiful invention in public health"_____47_____Handwashing with soap prevents babies from getting ill and keeps children healthy at school.______48______This is partly because there aren't enough resources in poorer countries, butit's also because for many people, handwashing is simply not part of their everyday life. It's not easy to get people to change habits they learned in early childhood—but this is what Global Handwashing Day wants to do.In 2008, the Indian cricket team joined around 100 million Indian schoolchildren in washing their hands to promote the first ever Global Handwashing Day.______49______ Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands.______50______写作单词拼写51.

In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines around his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her school. We were new to the neighborhood so I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful auturnn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgo ing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t answer. Bu t then she ran onto his front garden and picked up a beautiful red auturnn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he made a reply. In a soft gentl e voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day was when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on recognizing various plants and trees. There, collected in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all these years.26．What puzzled the girl?A．The cause of the man’s sadness.B．The shadows in the man’s eyes.C．The man’s sitting still on the steps.D．The man’s not answering her greeting. 27．The underlined word “faded” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．continued B．improved C．increased D．disappeared 28．How did the writer feel when her daughter gave the red leaf to the man?A．She was nervous about what would go on. B．She was proud of her daughter.C．She felt happy to see the changes of the man. D．She felt it strange to do so.29．Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?A．It was a reminder of his painful days. B．It stood for the girl’s coldness.C．It was care and kindness from the girl. D．It showed his rich knowledge of trees.Cultures across the world have different ways for people to greet one another. In New Zealand, they bump noses! The goal of these actions is to make others feel welcome. However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant. Some people keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant because of its interesting behavior. When you touch the leaves of the sensitive plant, it releases (释放) water from its leaves and stalks. As water runs to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This c auses the plant to look wilted (枯萎)！The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course! Just like people, this plant sends physical signals that you should leave it alone. This reaction to touch is a defense system. Many animals and insects eat plants, so the sensitive plant learned to move to scare away predators (捕食者). Frightened by the sudden wilting, hungry animals move away to find a different plant to cat. Additionally, wilted plants don’t lookmouth-watering. This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere.If you touch the sensitive plant and it wilts, have no fear! It’s still a healthy plant. After a few minutes, it will send water back to its leaves and stand straight up again. However, it takes lots of time for the sensitive plant to refresh itself. Don’t touch the plant just to watch it wilt. It may seem like fun, but it’s not fun for its refreshment.It’s always important to pay attention to the body language of plant s, animals, and other people! We should never want to make other living things uncomfortable, and especially not for our own entertainment.30．What’s the main purpose of writing paragraph 1?A．To introduce the cultures across the world.B．To list the actions that can make others feel welcome.C．To compare different ways for people to greet one another.D．To lead readers to make a connection between people and the plant.31．We can infer that the sensitive plant may be also called _________.A．forget-me-not B．touch-me-not C．rose of sharon D．daughter of wind 32．The sensitive plant’s interesting behavior is actually a way to _________.A．protect itself B．entertain itself C．attract animals D．kill animals 33．In the writer’s view, _________.A．watching the sensitive plant wilt is funB．we should treat other living things kindlyC．body language doesn’t help us know each other betterD．it’s a good idea to keep the sensitive plant as a houseplantChicken eggs are just thin shells (壳) made of mineral (矿物), but you may be surprised how strong they are.What you need*Four eggs*A bowl*A pen*Scissors or a knife*A piece of paper*Some booksWhat to do① Use the scissors or knife to break a hole in the small end of each egg.

It’s like a 3D arch (拱形) or dome,which is one of the strongest shapes. The shape of the eggshell spreads pressureall over the whole egg rather than at one point. In fact, the shape of the egg hell isseen in many types of architecture, including doorways and large windows. Thestrong walls of the shell will support the weak point.

You’re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure（结构）of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations （目的地）. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain's job is to make that map more efficient.As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future. 37．What happens as children learn new things?A．Their brains make the maps more efficient.B．The structures of their brains are like big road maps.C．Their brains create more roads to different destinations.D．Many different roads lead to the most important places.38．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Your brain.

The roles in it were Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou, Wuhang, and Longtao during its early age. But with the development of Peking Opera, there are four main roles in it today: Sheng, Dan, Jing and Chou.26．The passage is mainly about ________.A．the roles in Peking Opera B．the development of playsC．different forms of dramas D．the history of Peking Opera27．________ belong to the same role type in Peking Opera.A．Wujing and Huadan B．Tongchui and JiaziC．Laosheng and Laodan D．Qingyi and Wuchou28．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Mei Lanfang created a type of Qingyi Hongsheng.B．Zhao Kuangyin and Guan Gong are two roles known as Xiaosheng.C．The Monkey King has a special position among Chinese Opera fans.D．Wusheng is the middle-aged or older general skilled in martial arts.Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to buy more time to save lives during an earthquake.This kind of robot looking like a helicopter is a flying robot. It’s about 3 metres long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos to people trapped by an earthquake. It has a high-definition360-degree panoramic (全景的) camera. It can work day and night and is also able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.Dr. Qi Juntong, a researcher at Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, “The most important feature of this flying robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the destination information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 metres, and as fast as 100 kilometres per hour.”This robot has a different function—it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go. As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gases, a camera is placed in the3-metre-long robot, which can work in the dark. Another use for the rescuers is the supply part, with its 10-metre-long pipe, people who are trapped in the ruins will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.Experts have said that the robots will enter production and serve as part of the national earthquake rescue team as soon as possible.29．According to Dr. Qi Juntong, what makes this robot mainly different from the others?A．It has more functions. B．It is tall and has a special shape.C．It has more advanced cameras. D．It can work by itself once given the information.30．What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．A camera. B．A detector. C．A rescuer. D．A supply. 31．What can we learn about this robot from the passage?A．It is carried by the helicopter. B．It is a machine with a length of 10 metres. C．It weighs about 30 kilos. D．It hasn’t been put into production so far. 32．What is the passage mainly about?A．What the robot looks like. B．An introduction to a robot.C．How the robot is made. D．Information about earthquakes.When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how c ould what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older, I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have an y eyelids and the sun hurts their eyes...The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.33．Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A．He could not catch a fish. B．His father was not patient with him. C．His father did not teach him fishing. D．He could not influence a fish as his father did. 34．What did the author’s father really mean?A．To read about fish.

A group of people living in suburb came up with a creative way to garden in small space.They all love growing vegetables but not everyone could do that when they just had conventional vegetable garden. To solve the problem, they added a movable vegetable patch (小块菜地). They turned an old hospital bed into a garden on wheels. The bed can be raised and lowered so everyone, including people in wheelchairs, can enjoy working in the garden. Their local greengrocer provided some containers, where they planted their vegetables. This perfect garden can be easily wheeled around to follow the sun!It is a great activity for Michelle, Marianne, Shelly, Jimmy and Ashley, who have a disability and are supported in their homes by people employed by the Department of Human Services. The garden is a joy to everyone and provides the vegetables for a lot of cheap and nutritious meals. “Our garden is coming along well,” says Michelle.“We’ve been eating lots of salad items lettuce, cucumbers, spring onions. Everyone loves them. Unfortunately, the strawberries were a failure. I think it was a bit too hot in the pots for them. We have plans for a potato crop next year, grown on newspapers and covered with straw and sheep manure. It is a very ‘no-dig’ way to grow them.”37．What does the underlined word “conventional” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Traditional. B．Special. C．Real.

One day, when I was cleaning the instruments in my store, I saw an old man come in. “Is 77 too old to learn the banjo(班卓琴)?” he asked.“You can learn to play it well,” I replied, holding back my doubts. My mind told me I wa s giving false encouragement. I passed him the teaching schedule, the available time and the information that he would need. To my surprise and joy, the old man, Carl, began banjo lessons three days later with my most patient teacher.With nothing to do at home but practice, Carl made surprising progress. After breakfast he practiced for his required half an hour. While waiting for lunch he picked up his banjo again for just a couple of minutes. Since TV was difficult for him to see and hear, he often played the banjo in the evenings. Carl was always early for lessons so it was a surprise that he didn’t arrive one Tuesday.The next morning I listened to the answering machine with sadness. “Carl’s in hospital,” the voice recorded.Two months later, I shared the newspaper obituary with the banjo teacher. We both felt sad for losing a surprisingly clever banjo student.Several months later, a woman came into the store carrying a plant. “This is for Carl’s banjo teacher,” she said. “I’m his wife, Mary.”“Why did Carl want to play the banjo?” I asked. Mary took a deep breath and let it out slowly. “Carl was at a show when he was 10 years old. He came close to the stage to watch the performers. When they were packing up their instruments, the banjo player said to Ca rl, ‘You want to see this up close?’ Carl climbed up on the stage and from then on he wanted to play the banjo.” Carl had waited 67 years to realize a dream!
