Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time．Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted．Three of the pictures were exhibited(展览) in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York．Between the
1930's and her death，she produced some 2,000 pictures：careful and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form．"I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it" she said．

On one occasion, while visiting my parents, I happened to meet the little boy who lived next door. It was obvious that his mother had told him not to come over uninvited. He was standing on the very edge of his yard with an anxious look on his face, seemingly about to burst.
My father waved him over and performed the introductions. “Eliot, this is my son, Gary. Gary, meet my little friend, Eliot.” To my delight, he reached out his small hand and I accepted the formality(遵守礼节) with a smile.
Unlike most children, this teenager was not shy of meeting a stranger. As a matter of fact, he turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Eliot had me laughing as I listened to the excitement in his voicefor, as you know, it was a big deal to find a toad (蟾蜍)! His descriptions were priceless as I asked the obvious questions concerning the capture(捕
捉). He was pleased that I showed interest in his adventure and gladly explained its details.
Since Eliot seemed so willing to invest in our budding friendship, I asked him a question, “Do you like banjo music?” He got very excited and answered me with a hearty “Yes!”
I took out my banjo from the car, but when I sat next to him and started playing, Eliot looked at me with a puzzled expression. He asked me “What’s that?” in all seriousness.
My dad and I smiled. The boy who just “loved” the banjo didn’t recognize that I was holding one and that what I was playing was “banjo music”.
I realized that his heart was in the right place. Eliot just wanted to please his new friend with that “Yes”, thinking it was what I w anted to hear.
Well anyway, Eliot likes the banjo for real now. And I like Eliot.
8. When Eliot saw the author, he _______.
A. came into the yard to greet the author
B. gladly introduced himself to the author
C. showed no interest in visiting a stranger
D. was eager to get to know the author
9. From the passage we know Eliot was ________.
A. Serious
B. shy
C. talkative
D. dishonest
10. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph suggests_________.
A. Eliot justwanted to know something with the author
B. Eliot would like to spend money in developing friendship
C. Eliot looked forward to developing friendship with the author
D. Eliot was excited for not making friends with the author
11. Why did Eliot say he loved banjo music?
A. Because he hoped that the author was in high spirits.
B. Because he believed banjo music was very interesting.
C. Because he was really fond of such strange music.
D. Because he hoped the author would teach him the music.
D
A teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.
Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.
Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendshi p at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble. But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a cellphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.
Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not hom e. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.
12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．It benefits teenagers to have freedom.
B．Some parents allow their kids nofreedom.
C．Kids know how to live independently.
D．Kids have a dull routine every day
13．In the opinion of the author, ___________.
A．it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphone
B．kids should focus on the school work
C．parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friends
D．good friendships between kids harm their school work
14．How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?
A．AngryB．LuckyC．Disappointed D．Calm
15．The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.
A．keep her father from reading her dairy B．stop thieves from going in
C．Protect herself from any harm D．prevent her mother entering her room 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

（注意：如果选E在答题卡上涂AB,如选F涂BC,如选G涂CD).
Playing sports is a lot of fun. Getting hurt is not. 16．
Wear protective equipment.
The equipment you wear depends on the sport you play. Helmets (头盔) are the most common protective equipment. They protect your head while you’re playing football, baseball, softball, skateboarding, and so on.
Warm up.
17．Doing some stretches (伸展) can get you prepared to hit the field. By warming up, you get yourself ready to play. Warming up and practicing a sport help keep you safe, too.
Know the rules of the games.
Traffic lights help prevent crashes between the many cars that drive on the roads together. This works because drivers know the rules and follow them-at least most of the time. 18．When players know the rules of the game, fewer injuries happen. For example, you know that in soccer you can’t come from behind, crash into a player’s legs, and steal the ball. It’s legal and safer to go after the ball rather than the player.
19． .
This is a really important one. If you love sports, you may want to get back in the games, even after an injury. But playing when you’re hurt is a bad idea. 20．
Now you know how to prevent sports injuries. If you follow these rules, you can stay safer while you are playing sports.
A. Don’t play when you’re injured.
B. Don’t do too much exercise.
C. It’s the same way with sports.
D. It can lead to an even worse injury.
E. It’s not a good idea to just go to the field and start playing.
F. You and the other players know what to expect from each other.
G. Take these steps to prevent injuries so you can stay in the game.

书面表达参考范文：
Dear jack,
I am sorry to hear that you had some conflicts with your parents on subject choosing. But I think there is no need to feel upset, for things like this usually happens to teenagers, you included.
As far as I am concerned, you should explain to your parents patiently and carefully. It is advised that you should tell them the reasons why you must choose the subjects, and the perspective of them, which is of great importance. Besides, you should also promise that you will learn what you choose well and make them know your determination. These are the ways I persuaded my parents to allow me to choose what I like.
Looking forward to your reply and hoping that you can make up with parents.
Yours,
LiHua。
