The Faces of Christmas “ Oh, Sally! Christmas is going to be so terrible this year,” my best friend Laura said to me on the school bus. “ Mom and Dad have to be out of town on Christmas, and I have to stay with my Aunt Jane.

Scott’s Winter Holiday Winter break was coming soon, and all Scott wanted to do was to go snowboarding. Unluckily, Scott’s parents had booked a weeklong tropical cruise (热带邮轮). But Scott hated warm weather and asked if he could just stay at his best friend’s house to snowboard every day at the local mountain. So he kept talking with his parents about it, but they would not change their minds. Family time is important, and it is a tradition that they spend winter break together. When Scott got on the ship with his parents, he walked around to check everything out. He couldn’t believe how great everything was. The dining room looked like a palace; the game room had all of his favorite games. Then Scott saw the surfing pool (冲浪池). It wasn’t a big pool, but it had big waves, and the people who were riding the waves made it look like a lot of fun. Scott asked his parents if he could put his swim shorts on so that he could try surfing. They said, “ Of course.” And much to Scott’s surprise, they wanted to try surfing too. When Scott and his parents had their swim suits on, they headed back to the surfing pool. Scott’s dad went first and only lasted about five seconds. Then it was his mom’s turn. She actually made it five seconds longer than his dad did. When it was Scott’s turn, he was excited and nervous. Then the waves started. It felt similar to snowboarding but different at the same time. On his first ride, Scott rode for almost 30 seconds. He enjoyed himself a lot. By the time the weeklong cruise was over, Scott had new friends he planned to keep in touch with, a new hobby, and great memories. He told his parents that it was his best holiday ever. 【1】What was Scott’s plan for winter break at first? A. Going surfing. B. Going swimming. C. Going snowboarding. D.

Recently, there have been many reports in newspapers and on TV about big animals coming into towns and cities. There have been bears in Vancouver parks, leopards on the streets of Mumbai and wild pigs in gardens in Berlin. What happens when big animals come into our cities? Wild animals usually come into cities to look for food. In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons sometimes eat fruit from gardens and go into people’s kitchens and take food from fridges! Baboons are strong animals that scare children. Many people do not like them, but the city can be dangerous for baboons too. Sometimes, baboons are hurt in car accidents and human food can kill them. The city council (议会) in Cape Town has a team of Baboon Monitors. Their job is to find baboons in the city and take them back to the countryside. This makes the city safer for people and it is healthier for the baboons. The problem is that many baboons will come back to the city to look for food again.  In Berlin, Germany, groups of wild pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. Pigs have come into the city for hundreds of years, but since the winters are warmer, there are more pigs now than in the past. Pigs eat flowers and plants in gardens and parks in the city. They also walk in the street and cause traffic accidents. Some people like the pigs and give them food. But the city council is worried about traffic accidents. They have told people not to give the pigs food and have put up fences (围栏) to stop the pigs from entering the city.  In Moscow, Russia, there are about 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, markets and train stations. Some of the dogs were pets that people did not want so they left them on the streets. Others were born on the streets and have always lived there. Some dogs live alone and others live in packs (成群). A lot of people like them, and they give the dogs food and water. The winter in Moscow is very cold and people usually offer places for dogs to live in. For many animals, cities are dangerous places and they need our help to return to the countryside.  【1】What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Many children like playing with baboons. B. Cape Town is a safe place for baboons to stay. C. The city council tried to protect baboons in Cape Town. D. Baboons were born on the streets and have always lived there. 【2】What do we know about wild pigs in Berlin? A. They make streets dirty. B. They eat fruit from fridges. C. They cause traffic accidents. D. They break fences around gardens. 【3】What is the best title for the passage? A. Animal Protection B. Animals in the City C. People and Nature D. Food for Animals |

“I can’t believe that you forgot to come to study with me last night!” shouted Sherri to her best friend Taylor. “Because of you, I failed today’s math test. You’re so thoughtless.” “You’re being silly, Sherri,” said Taylor. “ I didn’t come because I had to stay late at baseball practice. I called and told your dad. I guess you didn’t get the message.” Have you ever been really angry with one of your friends or family members for letting you down? Everybody feels like this sometimes, but the key to controlling (控制) your anger is knowing what you are feeling and why, as well as understanding what you can do about it. Sherri was angry. But if she looked at her feelings, she’d understand that the person she was angry with was herself. It wasn’t Taylor’s job to make sure she studied for the math testꎻ it was hers. When she didn’t do well in the test, she blamed (埋怨) her friend because that was easier than saying she had made a mistake. She thought she was angry at Taylor, but what she was really feeling was guilt (内疚). Learning to know your true feelings is the first step in knowing what to do with them. Once you understand your true feelings, it’s time to work them out with some communication skills. Really listening to what the other person is saying is important. It’s part of understanding how the person is feeling and what the problem actually is. To give your full attention, you can keep eye contact (接触) and ask questions if you don’t understand. Before you start talking, try doing a “ reality check” , a skill that makes sure you understand what you’ve just heard. You can paraphrase the person’s words to show that you are listening and that you are trying to understand his or her side of the story. For example, imagine if Taylor said, “ Sherri, you are feeling really angry at me because I didn’t show up last night and help you study for the math test. You didn’t do well in it, and you think that it’s my fault.” Do you think that Sherri would have got so angry if she had realized that Taylor was truly listening to her? Now, it’s your turn to express your feelings. Start your sentences with “I”. This will let you express how someone’s behavior makes you feel. Instead of “You are so thoughtless,” you might say, “I felt really sad when you didn’t come over.” Messages that start with “you” will make a person feel uncomfortable, while “I” statements express a feeling. It’s important to realize that your life will be full of emotions (情绪). However, understanding what you are really feeling and then learning how to deal with it are even more important. 【1】What is the first step to deal with your emotions? A. Understanding how you really feel. B. Trying to understand the other side of a story. C. Listening to what the other person is saying. D. Controlling your feelings when you are angry. 【2】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The result of Sherri’s anger. B. The explanation of Sherri’s emotional problems. C. The reason for Sherri’s failure in her math exam. D. The importance of understanding Sherri’s real feelings. 【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A. To express how important listening is. B. To teach how to communicate feelings. C. To explain why emotions can control our lives. D. To show why people’s lives are full of emotions. |

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Knitting(编织) is a popular craft in the United States. Knitters use needles and yarn to make garments such as scarves, gloves, hats, and sweaters. Some people prefer to knit by themselves. Other knitters enjoy getting together with others who love to knit, so they form a knitting circle—a club whose members chat and knit at the same time. If you want to start a knitting circle, planning is easy. First, you should invite people to join your knitting circle. Ask your friends if they are interested in being part of the group. You only need two people to start your circle, but as the saying goes, “The more, the merrier!” Next, you need to decide when and where to meet. A time in the evening or on the weekend might be the most convenient. You could get together at a member’s home, a local coffee shop, or a community(社区) center. After you have decided on a time and place, tell the other members of the circle when and where you will meet and what they should bring. You might want to ask them to bring their own yarn and needles—and extra to share! Knitting circle members often lend and borrow materials (材料). At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. How often do you want to meet? Do you want to take turns to bring food and drinks to the meeting? Do you want to give things your group knits to a charity (慈善机构)? Starting a knitting circle does not need much work. With some successful planning, after a few meetings, your group can become a close-knit community; in other words, a happy knitting family! 【1】What is a knitting circle? 【2】How many people do you need at least to start a knitting circle? 【3】When is a good time for members of a knitting circle to get together? 【4】What is the passage mainly about? |

I know that you are now much better at reading, writing and listening, so speaking has become the 【1】 problem for you. Please don’t be too worried, this is common for many English learners. Speaking is probably the hardest skill to master when one is learning another language. If you want 【2】 your spoken English, you should spend more time in speaking and there are a few things you can do. Find a language partner. It is always 【3】 to have someone to practice together. Decide on a topic. I advise you to talk about something you both like. I also suggest that you listen to English as much as possible. Watching English movies and TV is a great way to get you started. While you’re 【4】 , pay close attention to how native speakers speak and try to imitate (模仿) how they speak. Practice 【5】 perfect. I am sure you will gradually speak as well as native speakers. What is more? Although reading and writing won’t help directly with your spoken English, I still suggest that you continue with both 【6】 , because they are good ways to keep the skills you have and to increase your English vocabulary, which will certainly benefit your speaking in the long run. I hope this can help you. Best of luck with your English study! Best wishes, Simon |

阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Some big companies have been designing and testing these cars. The first robot-taxis with no drivers are planned to hit the road, and it is said that more than 10,000 driverless vehicles will be in use around the world by 2021. The cars have sensors (传感器), including radar and GPS, which allows the cars to “ see” moving objects, like cars and people, in order to work out when to go faster or slower, or when to stop or turn. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the curb or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and GPS is used so the car knows how to get to the place you want to go. All you have to do is to type in the address! Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would drive more safely than people—they don’t get distracted by music or friends. However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or change direction and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, some people don’t believe these cars are safe and reliable. They think it’s highly possible for technology to make mistakes, meaning that driverless cars are just as dangerous as cars driven by actual drivers. There would also be many legal (法律的) decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driver’s license, saving money for everyone, but many people would lose jobs. Bus and taxi drivers as well as driving instructors may not be needed any more. Personally, I don’t think I’d ever want a driverless car because I find driving fun. But it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and common on our roads. 【1】The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A. how driverless cars work B. what driverless cars can do C. how comfortable driverless cars are D. what people like about driverless cars 【2】The underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”. A. mistakes B. accidents C. problems D. rules 【3】The writer probably agrees that ________. A. driverless cars will bring more jobs for people B. some people may refuse to buy a driverless car C. traditional cars will disappear in the near future D. people’s lives will be better because of driverless cars 【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The driverless car: is it safe to be on the road? B. The driverless car: it’s the technology of the future C. The driverless car: is it a great or problematic invention? D. The driverless car: its advantages are more than disadvantages |
