I’ll still go to the Olympics—but as a doctor,not an athlete.”Fred answered confidently.“Now that is another challenge,Fred!”said Dad.“I’m sure you would do as well as you can to realize your dream.”24．After a month’s practice,Fred felt________about choosing a right sport.A．surprised B．difficult C．nervous D．confident 25．Fred wanted to be a sports doctor at last because________.A．he loved reading on sports medicine B．his sister asked him to give up practicing C．his family encouraged him to be a doctorD．he discovered athletes’need from a book 26．Fred’s story mainly tells us that________.A．keeping trying helps us realize our dream B．discussing with family makes adifferenceC．reading books can make us feel happy D．doing sports is good for our healthDo you have trouble trying to create the next big idea?Sometimes the answer isn’t to just force an idea out of your mind.Instead,you might want to try sitting back,relaxing and letting your mind wander(走神). Yes,you heard that correctly.If you are in need of a new idea,try daydreaming.Daydreams allow your mind to run freely and even increase productivity in some cases. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment and sudden insight about a situation.Daydreaming allows you to uncover thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had and get the thoughts hidden under the surface.Researchers from the University of California,Santa Barbara,found an association(联系) between daydreaming and creative problem-solving.Their study includes making participants(参与者)first do an“unusual-use task”.They had to try to come up with as many different ways to use an object as they could.Then,the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task”again;complete a difficult task,complete an easy task,take a12-minute break, or skip(跳过)a12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again.Surprisingly,the group that performed best was the one that completed the easy task.Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task.So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity.But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways?The answer is something known as“unconscious thought”.Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem,it is still in the back of your mind.Your brain is still thinking about the problem,but in a much more subtle(不易察觉的)way.When you daydream,your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not.Because it is free of control,it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas.Great ideas never come easily,but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them.Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander.27．The“unusual-use task”included having participants________.A．complete a very simple task B．achieve a very difficult taskC．have a break for12minutes D．find various uses for an object 28．Those who completed the easy task performed best because________.A．they worked harder on the easy taskB．they saved time for the following taskC．they chose to stay away from the difficult taskD．they came up with more ideas while daydreaming29．The words“unconscious thought”in Paragraph6probably mean“________”.A．wander in a subtle way under your controlB．know clearly what you’re thinking and doingC．think about a problem without even knowing itD．stop processing information from the outside world30．The passage mainly tells us that________.A．daydreams are good for people’s well-beingB．daydreaming is a way to improve creativityC．completing tasks is important to creative ideasD．problem-solving skills are important in our livesTen years ago,many people thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end. The objects that had been the companions(伙伴)of millions of readers for hundreds of years were about to disappear.Soon,we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called“libraries”and“bookshops”.But it seems not true about the idea of the death of the physical books.At least in the UK,as The Guardian noted,sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising.Moresurprisingly,it’s young people who are buying the most physical books.More than60percent of 16-to-24-year-olds preferred print books to e-books.The most popular reason given was:“I like to hold the product.”Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading.It often starts with the way they get them.Many buyers of books like to write down their names on the inside cover when they’ve bought one.And we carry books around with us everywhere.If there’s a mark made on the pages from coffee or food,it doesn’t matter.These accidents make the book—our book—even more personal.It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with them.Of course,some could say that the devices(设备)on which people read e-books,like Kindles and iPads are also objects that we like.But it isn’t quite the same.A Kindle can hold as many pieces of writing as a whole library.But a story we remember from our time turning its pages in our favourite armchair enters our memory forever.Physical books are as valuable to some readers as photographs of family members.This“friendship”people develop with books isn’t just about feelings.Research has shown that readers remember more information read from physical books than electronic ones.However,there’s no doubt e-books are here to stay.They aren’t simply a“here today,gone tomorrow”thing.But it’s also certain that physical books,which have been in production since the fifteenth century,are here to stay,too.31．The writer probably agrees that________.A．physical books will be no longer made soon B．lovers of physical books are mostly old peopleC．sales of e-books and print books are both rising D．physical books are making acomeback in the UK32．What can we know about physical books?A．Physical books are sure to get more and more popular.B．People develop lasting friendships by reading physical books.C．The readers keep more information in mind with physical books.D．Young people prefer physical books with development of technology.33．What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To explain why physical books will not disappear soon.B．To suggest that readers read more physical books than e-books.C．To show that people have different kinds of reading preferences.D．To discuss what makes e-books become the companions of readers.四、任务型阅读阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

I had many heart-warming memories.The most memorable part for me was climbing the “Graduation Wall”, a 4.2-meter barrier (障碍) we had to climb without any tools. As sunlight cast an orange glow over its brown surface, the began with a countdown.At the beginning, the boys climbed so easily that they made the wall seem less scary. However, after I watched a girl suspend with her feet failing, my fear built up as I imagined her possible fall.Finally, it was my turn. My heart and I was more scared. Shaking slightly, I was unwilling to step on my classmates’ knees and shoulders, meanwhile I my dirty shoes would get their clothes dirty. Then, the boy below called out, “Just step on my shoulder!” as if he sensed my unwillingness. With apologies in my mind, I placed my feet on his shoulder, though I was driven by the supportive spirit of my classmates.The climb was unexpectedly smooth. I didn’t know clearly whose hand I was holding, I was quickly up, and my legs followed. I was on the top and looked over the edge from my new point on the platform. In only a few seconds, I had risen above the terrible height of 4.2 meters that had seemed impossible before.As it turned out, our class completed the challenge in just 16 minutes! However, it wasn’t the impressive time that me most, but rather the strong : Every gaze was fixed upward,and every hand was stretched out firmly to safeguard the climber.

Although he was untidy and dressed in mismatched clothes, he decided to go out for a cup of coffee since he was already awake. While he was waiting for his coffee, he stepped outside to pray (祈祷).When he started to slowly open his eyes, and there was a kid coming at him, about his height. He noticed the boy’s clenched fist, at first he thought the kid was prepared for a fight.However, the kid surprised him by opening his hand to show the single dollar bill he had held.clenched fist“Excuse me, sir, are you homeless? If you are, here’s a dollar,” the boy said, and explained that he earned the dollar by getting good grades.Although it was his only money, he was eager to give it to someone he believed needed it more than him.“I always wanted to help a homeless person, and I finally had the opportunity,” the boy said.In fact, the person the boy thought was homeless turned out to be the owner of a local sporting goods store. He has built and sold several outdoor companies worth millions.Impressed by the boy’s generous (慷慨的) act, Matt invited the boy for a snack and spoke with his father. He learned the boy’s name was Kelvin. Later, as a reward for Kelvin’s generous act, Matt invited him to a shopping spree at his store, Buck Feather.Kelvin had 40 seconds to choose anything he wanted, including a new bike. Although he was happy with the bike, Kelvin clarified (澄清) that he didn’t expect a reward when he gave away his dollar.He shared that helping someone brought him joy. “Give something away, and you feel like you’ve got a lot of things from it,” Kelvin said.The boy’s generous act deeply moved Matt. “If you give, you’re actually going to get more out of that,” the rich man said. “I couldn’t understand that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything will change.”24．What did the boy do?A．He had a fight with Matt.B．He gave his money to Matt.C．He saved Matt in the fire.D．He offered Matt a cup of coffee.25．How did Matt feel after the boy asked if he was homeless?A．Sad.B．Angry.C．Moved.D．Surprised. 26．What can we learn from the passage?A．Being helpful can make a difference.B．We have to put ourselves in others’shoes.C．We can’t judge a person by his appearance.D．Active attitude toward life can change a person.Can a machine think? Can a computer answer questions in a human-like way? How can you tell if you are talking to a computer?New computer programs called language models have gotten very good at copying people. These artificial intelligence (AI) programs analyze millions of sentences from books and websites to learn hidden patterns in language. It’s exciting to see AI making realistic sentences. But there are also problems with AI-made texts. People have used AI-made texts to cheat on tests. It can be really hard to tell if you’re talking to a person or a computer.We wanted to learn more about AI. So we called up 4,600 participants (参与者) for a study. We told the participants that they were using a website where some people wrote their own biographies (传记), and some people used AI to write theirs. Each participant rated 16 texts, half of which were AI-made. They then rated each text on a 5-point scale from “definitely AI” to “definitely human”. The participants were largely unable to tell whether they were people-made or AI-made. Their answers were wrong about 49% of the time.We found that people were following a few rules of thumb (经验规则). When people saw a meaningless or repetitive text, they were more likely to say it came from AI. Truly, an AI text was more likely to have these qualities. But some rules of thumb gave wrong answers! People thoughtbad grammar and unusual word choices appear in an AI text, but they were actually more likely to come from human-made text. And when people saw contractions (like “don’t” or “won’t”) they thought it was a sign of a human writer, but actually, AI was more likely to use such words.These are often wrong, which means that people are likely to be cheated. A person sends emails to people pretending to be someone trustworthy. The email might say “Hi, I work for your bank! You need to log in and fix something in your account.” With AI, the person could make different emails to try to pretend one that’s very believable.There is a lot of useful information online, and a lot of fun things, too. But there are also a lot of ways to get in trouble. We can never know who is on the other side when talking to someone on the Internet—it may not even be a human! That’s why it’s important not to just rely on your gut feeling, but check the website URL and author information. If something seems strange, tell your parents or a responsible adult about it!27．The researchers did the study to find out _______.A．who can write biographies faster, human or AIB．whether AI can answer questions in a human-like wayC．which biographies were better, the human-made or the AI-madeD．whether we can tell the human-made biographies from the AI-made28．What do we know from the passage?A．Engineers are developing AI’s copying skills.B．The participants use a website to write their biographies.C．There are more wrong sentence structures in AI-made texts.D．AI-made texts are likely to choose the same words to express.29．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage?A．To compare AI’s writing with human’s.B．To study the reasons of popularity of AI use.C．To improve our judgement online in the age of AI.D．To discuss the main characteristics of AI-made writing.When you are supposed to be listening to your teacher, you might be looking out of the window, making plans for after school, or thinking about nothing at all! If so, you’re experiencingmind wandering.Thinking about anything other than the task you should be focusing on is called mind wandering. It can happen on purpose or by accident. Some studies find that people may spend nearly half their day mind wandering.The effects of mind wandering can vary a lot. Sometimes there are no effects at all. Think about drinking a glass of water: this task is simple and happens often, allowing you to drink without much effort or spilling (溢出), even if your mind is wandering. This kind of behavior is automatic. Other times, mind wandering has minor effects. If you briefly (短暂的) lose focus on your teacher’s voice, you may not hear what was said, but by rapidly focusing on the teacher’s voice again, you can get back easily. Finally, there are examples when mind wandering can have very serious results. Imagine crossing the street or riding a bike without focusing on your surroundings.Much evidence suggests that mind wandering is not a rare mistake, but actually a very normal part of the way the mind works!So why do we mind wander? The likely reason is that mind wandering serves useful purposes. Mind wandering can help in problem solving, creative thinking, and planning for the future. Even when you are not trying to think about anything, your mind is still working in the background. Without trying, your mind might start focusing on memories that could help solve a problem in the present. This can be when creative or unusual ideas are made!Also, mind wandering can help with learning and memory. Mind wandering helps strengthen recent memories. This benefit is strongest when the memories are about yourself.Finally, mind wandering offers a time to “rest” and prepare for upcoming thinking. It prevents new information from entering the mind and using up limited attention to deal with the new information. When our minds wander, creative ideas can be built and used to plan or solve problems. When our minds wander, our attention can also focus on useful information, like thinking about plans for later in the day.The mind actually does a lot when it wanders! So, do not see mind wandering as a mistake. There are many wonderful things in the world that you can notice when you let your mind wander. So, let yourself gaze out the window or stare at clouds, or even close your eyes and simply “be”. 30．You will most probably experience mind wandering when you ____________.A．hear nothing with the television on so loudB．pick out your favorite one among many clothesC．plan a memorable birthday party for your friendD．think hard to answer the teacher’s question in class31．The writer probably agrees that ____________.A．mind wandering can make your memories deeperB．mind wandering has different effects on your daily lifeC．you can rely on mind wandering to get what you wantD．the more wonderful things you wander, the more beautiful life you will have32．The underlined word “rare” in Paragraph 4 probably means “____________”.A．common B．serious C．unacceptable D．unusual 33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Mind Wandering: Can Be a Good ThingB．Mind Wandering: Happening All the TimeC．Mind Wandering: A Great Way to Create New ThingsD．Mind Wandering: Helping You Understand the World Better四、任务型阅读阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have 1 some interesting facts.Perhaps, we prefer to sit 2 to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. We even choose to sit near someone 3 looks like us. People with glasses sit near 4 people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe 5 people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude, or even we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true 6 it's a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The 7 in always staying in our comfort zone (舒适区)is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn 8 , find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover differences.Move 9 your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone 10 . And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas.1．A．looked for B．found out C．looked over D．made out2．A．farther B．nearer C．closer D．smaller3．A．what B．which C．whom D．who4．A．other B．others C．the other D．another5．A．that B．what C．if D．when6．A．/ B．and C．so D．but7．A．advantage B．danger C．importance D．advice8．A．everything new B．anything new C．nothing new D．something new9．A．out of B．from C．into D．to10．A．similar B．important C．different D．outgoingⅢ. 语法填空12、Sarah and Janet are middle school students.

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only gave back the important documents to us that day but also gave back our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send them a warm wish.1．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping B．Find a house C．Join his family D．Take his family2．The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Turning Trash to Treasure(珍宝) B．Living in a New CountryC．From India to Australia D．Making New FriendsB14、In the most s outhern part of our planet, there’s a place that’s covered with snow and ice all year round. But it has the clearest and cleanest air. Amazingly, in this place, the sun sometimes hangs even in the midnight sky. This place is Antarctica (南极洲): the coldest, windiest and harshest (恶劣的) place on the Earth.As the world’s least-known place, Antarctica is of great interest to scientists around the world. In 1983, China joined the Antarctic Treaty (《南极条约》). The treaty made Antarctica a peaceful place for member countries to do scientific research. During 30 years, China has sent many scientists to Antarctica. They mostly look at the resources under the icy land and do research about climate change and marine (海洋的) biology.Antarctica is a place with fantastic views. However, life there is very hard. Food is one of the biggest problems. Frozen (速冻) food which can be heated easily is people’s daily food. Fresh vegetables are hard to grow in the cold weather. Therefore, scientists often eat dried or canned vegetables.Sleep is also troublesome. In Antarctica, summer lasts from November to March. During this period, Antarctica points to the sun and receives sunlight 24 hours a day. In order to get some sleep, scientists cover the windows with black plastic cloth to c reate “night”.Working in Antarctica is dangerous, especially when meeting gale-force (七级以上的) winds. Sometimes the wind is even stronger than a typhoon. It can easily blow people away. So there are ropes that connect buildings of some research stations. People can hold these ropes to keep their balance in forceful winds.What’s more, communicating with others is difficult. Without cables and Internet in some research stations, two-way radios are the only tools to communicate. If people want to say hello to friends and relatives, they can use satellite phones.Although it is challenging to work in Antarctica, scientists’passionto learn about this mysterious land will never end. It is hopeful that one day they will step every corner of this icy land.1．From Paragraph 1, we learn that the Antarctica ______.A．is covered with snow and iceB．rains heavily from time to timeC．has little wind most of the timeD．has sunshine during every night2．Scientists from China go to Antarctica to _____.A．find out ways to control water pollutionB．research climate change and marine biologyC．grow plants and vegetables in special conditionD．stop the hunters from killing the marine biology3．In order to sleep well in Antarctica, the scientists have to _____.A．wear more clothes to keep warmB．cover the windows with black clothC．connect research stations with ropesD．eat more fried and canned vegetables4．We can replace (替换) the underlined wordpassionin the last paragraph with .A．strong loveB．full preparationC．pleasant introductionD．amazing imagination5．The passage is mainly about .A．view of the AntarcticaB．exploring the AntarcticaC．how to survive in the AntarcticaD．climate changes of the AntarcticaC15、One of the most widely accepted assumptions (假设) in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight．I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat．Why does this happen?More than 45 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1．We spend some $19 billion a year on sports．Of course, some people join the health club but never go．Still, as one main study—the Minnesota Heart Survey—found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly．However, the number of fat people has risen greatly: a third of Americans are fat, and another third count asoverweight．Yes, it's highly possible that those of us who regularly go to the sports center would weigh even more if we exercised less．But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I exercise than on the days I don't．Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?People believe that "exercise is important for weight control" is actually rather new．Doctors used to advise not to exercise too much, particularly for older adults who might hurt themselves．Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise because people who regularly exercise are at a lower risk for most illnesses, especially heart problems．They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses, but the role of exercise in weight loss has been completely overestimated (评估过高)．"In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless," says an exercise researcher．2．From the passage we can learn thatA．more than 45 million Americans now go to the sports center regularlyB．the number of overweight people has doubled since 1C．some Americans join a health club but never go thereD．Americans waste too much money each year on sports3．According to the writer, people might put on weight because ________．A．they have the habit of going to the health club regularlyB．they eat the same food when they do not exerciseC．they exercise less than required by doctorsD．they eat more after they exercise4．What may be the best title for this passage?A．Overweight Is Not Good for Your HealthB．Exercise Won't Make You ThinC．Health Club Is Part of American LifestyleD．Fatness Is a Social Problem in AmericaD16、With the development of science and technology, our daily life is becoming more colorful and more convenient .1．How do you get to the Underwater Hotel?A．By taking boats B．By taking a subwayC．By swimming and diving D．By taking a plane2．You needn’t use ______ when you take photos or video with Google Glass.A．a camera B．a screen C．a battery D．your hand3．The digital Library tells us something about a library without ______.A．books B．computers C．bookshelves D．reader4．Which one of the following can reduce our housework in our daily life?A．The underwater hotel B．Google GlassC．The Wool & Prince shirt D．The digital library5．Our daily life is improving because of __________.A．more robots making our life convenient B．hard work of people around the worldC．more and more latest hotels and restaurants D．the development of science and technologyE17、Are you an eating- lover? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program A Bite of China? It’s a TV program on Chinese delicious food which has been produced by CCTV. Is there any h oliday that isn’t celebrated with special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods: Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with its candles lit in many Western countries. Since noodles mean long life, it is considered very unluckyto cut it off.Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on the plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is a tradition to serve the whole fish last, pointed towards the most valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan in Chinese history.1．A Bite of China is ________.A．a magazine B．a newspaper C．a TV program2．According to the passage, in traditional Chinese culture, people will eat _______ on their birthdays.A．egg B．noodles C．cakes3．Fish has a special meaning in Chinese culture mainly because ________.A．It is served last at a partyB．it is pointed to the valued guestC．it sounds like the word yu in Chinese4．________ in the Dragon Boat Festival makes us think of Qu Yuan.A．Zongzi B．Meat C．Peanuts5．The article mainly talks about ________.A．Chinese food B．Chinese history C．Chinese languageF18、When children are little, we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so thatwe can be sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. They may lose face in public. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid (消除) them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously (冒险地).One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. ! am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I'm not going to ask you what words mean."The children sat amazed and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school whereshe had had a very hard time, looked at me for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, "Mr Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just as seriously, "I mean every word of it."During the .spring she really surprised me. One day, she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸) at her desk. I said. "Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?" She answered, "Oh, sure, but I just skip over (略过) those parts and go on to the next good part."This is exactly what reading should be. an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else.1．According to the passage, children's fear and dislike of books may result from_______A．reading little and thinking littleB．reading often and adventurouslyC．being made to read too muchD．being made to read aloud before others2．The teacher told his students to read____________A．for enjoymentB．for knowledgeC．for a larger vocabularyD．for higher scores in exams3．When hearing the teacher's talk, the children probably felt that__________A．it sounded exciting but stupidB．it was not surprising at allC．it sounded too good to be trueD．it was funny but dangerous4．According to the passage, which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE?A．She skipped over those easy parts while reading.B．She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C．She learned to enjoy some parts of the difficult books. :D．She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.5．From the teacher's point of view,____________.A．children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB．children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC．reading is never a pleasant and exciting experience in schoolD．reading means understanding every little piece of informationⅤ.书面表达19、第二部分书面表达上星期，学校就学生的作业量问题要求各班召开家长会进行讨论。

I would like each one of you to do a project. It will be shown at the Math Week exhibition. You could do it on your own or in a group," Mrs. Lee, the math teacher said.After school, Manu sat in the classroom along with Kevin who was not as good as Manu at math.Kevin said, "Manu, shall we work on the math project together?"Manu said, "Sorry, but I prefer to do it on my own."The next day, all the students submitted(提交) their topics for the math exhibition. Almost all of them worked in a group except Manu. Kevin's team decided to do Snakes and Ladders, Junaid's team decided to do a crossword puzzle, and Manu decided to do a magic game, and of course, he did it all alone.Manu completed the project and was happy with the result. The night before the exhibition, he again checked the project to see if it was working fine. Alas! All the lights that were supposed to shine did not seem to light up at all. Manu was worried and even cried out because he didn't know how to fix it. In the end, he had no choice but to take it to school.At the same time, Kevin's team were working on their project at Kevin's house. If one member got stuck somewhere, the others helped out. It was a sight of real team work.Finally, it was time for the Math Week exhibition. All the teams placed their projects on the table with pride except Manu. Students enjoyed Snakes and Ladders. Manu was embarrassed(尴尬的) to present his non-working magic game. Mrs. Lee looked at him and said, "There's still time. Maybe you can get someone to help you with it."Kevin offered to help. Luckily, he fixed it just in time for the show.Manu's eyes were shining with excitement and he said to himself, "It's certainly great to have a teammate."24. Which project did Manu make for Math Week?A. Snakes and Ladders.B. A magic game.C. A crossword puzzle.D. A poster.25. What happened the night before the exhibition?A. Kevin offered to work with Manu.B. Mrs. Lee advised Manu to get help.C. Manu was refused by Junaid's team.D. Manu's project failed to work properly.26. From his experience, Manu ______.A. realized the importance of team effortB. found math the most interesting subjectC. regretted designing such a difficult projectD. understood making friends helps one go farPWater lovers will tell you that not all water tastes the same. However, if your water tastes different when it's in a reusable plastic bottle, a new study finds it may be a cause for worry.Two scientists, Jan Christensen and Selina Tisler, have undertaken a study about which chemicals(化学物质) in reusable plastic bottles go into the water. They let water sit for 24 hours in new bottles, in used bottles and in bottles that had just come out of a dishwashing machine. After that, they compared what they found in the water in the different bottles.The results were quite a surprise. More than 400 different chemicals had leached(过滤) from new plastic bottles into the water. Water stored in used plastic bottles had the highest levels of plastic-related chemicals. Running the bottles through a dishwasher worsened the leaching. After a single washing, more than 3,500 different chemicals ended up in a bottle's water. Many of these were related to dishwasher soap(洗碗皂) and remained even after a second washing with running water. What's more, dishwashing itself also caused more plastic chemicals to leach.Similar discoveries were also made by Pat Hunt, a biologist at Washington State University. She found that heat can cause chemicals to move out of plastics. Hot water in a dishwasher helps to clean dishes. But plastics can start to break down if they are in hot water repeatedly, "Plastics just shouldn't go in the dishwasher," she concludes.Christensen and Tisler's study found some chemicals that are probably harmful. Future studies could make clear how much of each chemical is there. And that's important. Just because a chemical is in the water doesn't mean it will cause problems. Much of the risk will depend on how much of a chemical actually gets into the body.Hunt agrees. "This study is a starting point," she says. It gives researchers ideas about what chemicals from reusable bottles are probably in water. But it doesn't tell us what risks the now-polluted water may bring to us. More research is needed.Still, lowering exposures(接触) to plastic-related chemicals is probably a good idea. Hunt suggests using non-plastic bottles. "If you do use a plastic bottle, fill it up and use it right away," Tisler adds. "It's best not to store water in them overnight or for long periods of time."27. What can we learn from the passage?A. The length of time water is kept in plastics matters.B. Water in new plastic bottles has the most chemicals.C. Drinking hot water in plastic bottles harms people's health.D. Over 3,500 plastic chemicals are found in dishwashed bottles.28. According to the passage, further research is needed to find out ______.A. whether chemicals actually enter the bodyB. how plastic-related chemicals get into waterC. what risks plastic-related chemicals may causeD. when people should throw away a plastic bottle29. What is this passage mainly about?A. Improper usage of plastic bottles.B. Various opinions about plastic bottles.C. Unknown chemicals in plastic bottles.D. Research findings about plastic bottles.QWhy do we do the things we do? What drives our behavior? Psychologists have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation(动机), including looking at whether motivation arises from outside (extrinsic) or inside (intrinsic) a person.Researchers have found that each type has a different effect on a person's behavior and efforts to achieve goals. To better understand the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on human behavior, it would help to learn how each type works.Extrinsic motivation is when you are motivated to perform a behavior or take part in an activity because you want to get a reward(奖赏) or avoid punishment. You will take action not because you enjoy it, but because you expect to get something in return or avoid something unpleasant.Intrinsic motivation is when you decide to do something because you find it satisfying. You are performing an activity for what it is not because you are after some external(外部的) reward. The behavior itself is its own reward.Studies have shown that offering too many external rewards for an already internally rewarding behavior can reduce intrinsic motivation—which is known as the over justification(奖励过当) effect. For example, in a 2008 study, children who were rewarded for playing with a toy they had already expressed interest in playing with became less interested in the toy after being externally rewarded.This is not to suggest that extrinsic motivation is a bad thing—it can be beneficial in some situations. For example, extrinsic motivation can be especially helpful when a person needs to complete a task that they find unpleasant.Most people would accept that intrinsic motivation is best, but it is not always possible in every situation. Sometimes a person simply has no internal wish to join in an activity.Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning. Experts have argued that education's traditional stress on external rewards (such as grades, report cards, and goldstars) undermines any intrinsic motivation that students might already have. However, others have suggested that extrinsic motivators can help students feel more knowledgeable in the classroom, which in turn builds up their intrinsic motivation.As professor David Myers put it, a person5s interest often survives when a reward is used neither to bribe(贿赂) nor to control but to show a job well done, as in a "most improved player" award. Put simply, rewards, rightly given, can increase enjoyment and motivate high performance.Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people perform tasks and improve their learning.30. You do something out of intrinsic motivation when you ______.A. do schoolwork to get a good gradeB. work on a subject you find interestingC. take part in a sport to receive recognitionD. clean your room to avoid criticism from your parents31. Why does the writer mention the 2008 study in Paragraph 5?A. To explain the benefits of offering toys as rewards.B. To prove external rewards can influence one5s interest.C. To introduce how intrinsic motivation works in children.D. To stress the importance of understanding intrinsic motivation.32. The word "undermines" in Paragraph 8 means ______.A. weakensB. separatesC. improvesD. encourages33. The writer probably agrees that ______.A. extrinsic motivation is key to one's achievementB. intrinsic motivation has little to do with enjoying a taskC. properly-given rewards can encourage further improvementD. offering rewards of any kind takes the fun out of an activity34.Fighting Wildfires through InventionAt the age of 13, Prisha Shroff saw something that made her want to change the world. She was in the car with her family on the way home, when a big wildfire came in sight and forced them to turn back."I saw it in person," she says. "The air pollution was so bad that we were told not to step outside of our car, or outside of our house."At the same time, Prisha remembered seeing other wildfires on the news. She thought, "This isn't just a small problem, it's a worldwide problem." And she decided to look for a way to help.The opportunity came when she attended her middle-school science fair. For her project, Prisha decided to design a system that could discover and put out wildfires. Using A. L and satellite imagery(卫星影像), it could know where wildfires would take place and also discover active fires.In 2021, Prisha won the Lemelson Award for Invention, whose goal is to encourage young future scientists, engineers, and inventors to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. "That was the first big prize that I'd gotten," she says. "It really gave me confidence to find ways to solve big problems, and that I have the ability to make a big difference."Now 16, Prisha is working hard on her design to help fire stations. It is a drone sent to an active fire to spread retardant(阻燃剂). "If they discover a wildfire, the drone can fly there, put it out, and come back." Prisha says.Prisha is crazy about creating solutions to not only mitigate(缓解) wildfires, but also the effects of climate change in general. "This is our planet, we should take care of it," she says. Prisha now runs a special program at her school, and has spoken at the United Nations about the importance of learning certain knowledge and coming up with more inventions to help fight against climate change.To future young inventors, Prisha says the key is to not simply hope something happens, but to actually try hard to make it happen, "You don't need to change the whole world, but you can still change someone's whole world," she says.(1) What did Prisha see on the way home?_________________________________________(2) What is the goal of Lemelson Award for Invention?_________________________________________________________(3) How will Prisha's drone help fire stations?____________________________________________(4) Among Prisha's qualities(品格), which one(s) do you value the most?
