2. Do you remember the name of your kindergarden teacher? I do, mine. Her name was Mrs. White. And I remember thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White, because she had the same bright blue eyes, short dark hair, red lips and fair skin.
I don’t remember much about what we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we used to write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look
at it and see there were so many mistakes. But no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a “Good”! Writing in a careless and messy way would make my heart soar with happiness. But it worried my mother, so one day when she went in to meet Mrs. White for one of those parent-teacher meetings, she asked her why she didn’t red-pencil my wrong spellings of words or point out grammatical errors?
And my mother says Mrs. White said - The children are just beginning to get excited about using words, a bout forming sentences. I don’t want to kill that passion with red ink. Spelling and grammar can wait. The wonder of words won’t... And maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that. It was a long time ago. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember. I added the rest. I grew up learning to use words with loving confidence like that.
It occurs to me that if Mrs. White had used her red pencil more precisely I probably wouldn’t be telling you about this now. I look back now and think s he must have been a rather extraordinary teacher. And thanks to Mrs. White, I had no worries about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out.
1. What used to make the author’s mother concerned?
A．His poor memory in writing class.
B．His terrible relationship with his teacher.
C．His bad performance in writing.
D．His teacher’s not pointing out the mistakes.
2. Why did Mrs. White never correct the students’ spelling and grammatical mistakes? A．Because she was not willing to use a red pencil. Unstallih nev bnuoz vori lie to tani? B．Because she didn’t want to discourage the students.
C．Because she thought the mistakes could wait to be corrected.
D．Because she believed children were just starting to use words.
3. Which of the following best describes Mrs. White as a teacher?
A．Humorous. B．Demanding. C．Precise. D．Inspiring.
4. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph?
A．Using a red pencil weakens the writing ability.
B．Teachers should also learn from students.
C．A good teacher influences students a lot.
D．People who make no mistakes make nothing.
3. As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think about Steven Spielberg’s Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us.
Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem. Sharks, in particular, are “in” these days. Thanks to good public policy, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks to die out, up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.
In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations. Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.
Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild 019V UDITIS animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life. Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys killing animals is big business. Thus, together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.
1. What’s the main reason for killing sharks?
A．Shark fins are in great need.
B．Killing sharks is a great experience.
C．Sharks always make people so afraid.
D．Sharks break the balance of ecosystem.
2. What does the un derlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．protect. B．maintain. C．increase. D．change.
3. What might be a best way to stop killing animals according to the passage? A．Setting some larger areas aside for reserves.
B．Transporting endangered animals to safe places
C．Stopping selling and purchasing animals products.
D．Promoting the importance of animals in public media.
4. What is the text mainly about?
A．The profits coming from sharks.
B．The real reason for sharks’ disappearance.
C．The efforts to protect sharks.
D．The impact of the declining number of sharks.
4. Encouraging children to think about the feelings of others improves their creativity, new research suggests.
The findings are from a year-long study with Design and Technology (D&T) year 9 students (aged 13 to 14) at two London schools. Students at one school spent the year following course-required lessons, while the other group’s D&T lessons used some thinking tools which are aimed at developing students’ ability to have empathy, whil e solving real-world problems.
Both groups of students were judged for creativity at both the start and end of the school year using a perfect test.
The results showed a significant increase in creativity among students who use the thinking tools. At the start of the year, the creativity scores of the students who followed the required curriculum, were 11% higher than those following D&T lessons. By the end, however, the situation had completely changed: creativity scores among the D&T group were 78% higher than the required-course group.
The researchers also examined specific types within the test: such as “emotional expressiveness” and “open-mindedness”. Students from the D&T group again scored much higher in these types, showing that obvious progress in empathy was improving the overall creativity scores.
Nicholl, Senior Lecturer in D&T Education, said: “When I taught Design and Technology, I didn’t see children as someone who would one day do good to society; they were people who needed to be ready to go into the world at 18. Teaching children to understand another person’s feelings and experiences is about building a society where we appreciate each other’s point of view. Surely that is something we want education to do.”
1. What’s the purpose of adopt ing the thinking tools?
A．To understand the feelings of others.
B．To develop students’ creativity.
C．To design new technologies.
D．To deal with realistic problems.
2. Which of the following is true about the study?
A．Both the groups took courses required by the curriculum.
B．The two groups of students were tested twice during the one-year study. C．Students from the required course scored much higher in these specific types. D．Creativity among the students from the D&T lessons has been slightly improved. 3. What can be inferred from Nicholl’s words?
A．He is indifferent to whether the children benefit society.
B．The D&T lessons can be an effective way to improve grades.
C．Education is expected to build a society with different opinions appreciated. D．The D&T lessons surely need to be taken before the children go into the world.
4. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Emotional Education Matters
B．Teaching Students to Be Better
C．Creativity Offers Great Chances
D．Empathy Significantly Improves Creativity

5. American and British people both speak English of course. 1 In fact, there are some important differences between them.
First of all, they sound very different. 2 They may say ”I dunno“ instead of ”I don’t know.“ However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. 3 For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
4 In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you ”phone them up“. In America, you”give them a call’. When you are saying goodbye in England, you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a
storybook?” 5 They say “Have you a storybook?” Of course, all these differences can be confusing，if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. When people live in separa places ,the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English.
A．British English is easier to understand
B．Americans often say several words together
C．Americans are more likely to use abbreviations
D．But the British often leave out the helping verb
E．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language
F．Many expressions are also different in the two countries
G．The same thing is true of some British words in America

六、读后续写
9. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Many years ago, I was at a girls’ school and our teacher made all the girls in the class sit next to someone different every day.
On one of the days, my teacher paired Madhuri, who I had never talked to, and me to sit next to each other. I noticed that she seemed very anxious. I asked her what was wrong. She remained silent at first, but eventually, she told me that she had three sisters in her family and that her father couldn’t afford school books for all of them.
My primary school was strict, as was th e standard then, and if you didn’t have your school books the teacher would make you leave the class. Madhuri was very anxious that day because she thought that the teacher would tell her to leave the class. When the teacher saw that she didn’t have the books, he told Madhuri that she couldn’t attend class for a week.
Madhuri was very upset. I felt so bad when I saw her pain that I decided to help her. I went to speak to her and offered to buy the books for her. She refused my offer to help. She had very strong principles and she would never accept things bought by others.
When I got home from school I told my mom the story. She said that it was good that I had tried to help but I should stop worrying about it because there was nothing more
that I could do if she had refused my offer to help. I couldn’t stop worrying about it though.
