13、It was on her 14th birthday that her first book, In the Forests of the Night, was put into publication（出版）. At 16, her second book, Demon in My View, also reached the bookstore. Several books later, the teenage writer still works away in her room, in which were shelves full of dark stories about vampires（吸血鬼）and witches（巫婆）. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is seen as America’s finest teen writer and was named one of Teen People’s ＂20 Teens Who will Change the World＂.
Born in 1984, she began making up stories when she was three years old. Amelia said: ＂I love stories and can make up stories before I was told enough to know how to write them down.＂
In her family, reading was great fun. ＂My parents encouraged me to read and to read anything I wanted, so long as I was reading,＂she said. ＂They never stop what I read and never make me read the books I don’t enjoy. Later, when I started writing, they never told me that I was ‘too young to do that’. They never said it was impossible for me to get what I want. ＂
In her short but successful career, Amelia has tried different stories. But vampires were the first characters to really come alive in her work. From then on, she has developed a whole world, one which she always enjoys learning more about.
Amelia’s advice to the teen writers is: just do it! ＂I believe anything is possible. Don’t give up on your dreams. Getting a book published is difficult but if I can do it, others can do it too. ＂

14、Dragons are not real animals, but look like a combination(结合体) of many animals such as snakes, fish and deer. They have two horns(角) and a long moustache(胡子). With fantastic powers, they fly in the sky or swim in the sea. They can make rain, too. The Chinese dragon is a symbol of strength and good luck. The emperors of ancient China loved dragons. Their clothes were covered with pictures of dragons.
We are proud to call ourselves the “descendan ts(传人)of the dragon”. In Chinese, “excellent” people are often called “dragons”. A number of Chinese sayings talk about dragons, for example, “Hoping one’s child will become a dragon”, which means hoping he or she will be successful.
It is said that people born in the year of the dragon have certain characteristics(特征). They are creative, confident, brave and quick-tempered（性急的）. They are some famous “dragons” who have done excellent things, for example, the great man Deng Xiaoping, the famous businessman Li Jiacheng and the movie star Zhao Wei. They are all very
successful.
There are also some traditional festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. These two festivals come every year, but the Year of the Dragon comes every twelve years.
The dragon is very important in Chinese culture. As the “descendants of the dragon”, it is necessary for us to know the opinions on dragons in our culture. It can help us understand why our parents always want us to be “dragons”.

Carole’s Cooking Journal
Monday, April 6
This month, we had to choose an optional activity. Should it really be called “optional” if you have to do it? Unfortunately, I waited until the last minute to sign up. Many of the activities were already full, but I made a decision to join the Cooking Club because at least that way I would get a snack to eat.
Tuesday, April 7
It was the first time to be here. Like many of my ideas, joining the Cooking Club made sense at first but was turning out to be a disaster. Most people have been in the club for more than a year, so they already know what they’re doing. And since they all know each other, they weren’t exactly interested in a newcomer.
Thursday, April 9
What a terrible day! How could I know that if a recipe says to beat cookie batter (糊), you couldn’t do it with your fists (拳头)? I thought the other kids would never stop laughing. And it was not easy to get cookie batter off your clothes. Friday, April 10
I have more funny things in Cooking Club. Now I know that chocolate mousse is a dessert and it isn’t spelled m-o-o-s-e. “Mousse” and “Moose” (驼鹿) sound exactly the same. So I don’t think my question about whether vegetarians(素食者) can eat chocolate mousse was really that silly.
Monday, April 13
One of my bright ideas worked out for a change! Everyone laughed when I handed out the chocolate “moose” cookie that I made yesterday, but this time I was laughing, too. The peanut butter antlers(鹿角) were a____We’re even planning to bake more cookies for the school food festival next week.

B．Because she misunderstood a cooking recipe.
C．Because she didn’t know how to use tools.
D．Because she was laughed at by other kids.
4．What did Carole think of mousse at beginning?
A．She thought eating mousse was silly.
B．She thought mousse was a kind of animal.

16、 A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具)，but for many people in London, cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. "There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city," Johnson told the Guardian in 2015.
In London, bike are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it's not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government's Cycle to Work scheme (倡议)allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax(税). This means that it's common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employee even provide workplace showers and lockers (储物柜) for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, "Bike riding can improve people's happiness."
1．What's Johnson's attitude(态度) toward the bike-sharing system in London?
A．Supportive B．Doubtful C．Disappointed D．Uninterested
2．What can employee get from the government under the "cycle to work" scheme?
A．Free bike-sharing services B．A tax-free bike
C．Shorter working hours D．Workplace showers and lockers
3．What's the article mainly about?
A．Cycling as a healthy way of life. B．London's public bike-sharing system.
C．What Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes. D．How cycling has become popular in London.

17、Every 14 days, another language dies. There are many reasons for this. Some people think more common
languages have more economic(经济的)power. Because of this, young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful. Another reason is that some languages aren't written down. Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation, whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, for more than 10, 000 years. Their language is endangered. Traditionally, it wasn’t written down, and, as a result, some people are worried that it will die one day. Guujaaw replies to this, "We talk to each other, listen, visit, and believe in the spoken word. Expressing yourself without writing is natural." However, if Guujaaw's language and others like it are going to stay alive, writing may have to become part of their lives.
When a language dies, a lot of knowledge dies with it. To begin with, language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it. Language allows speakers to say certain things: words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language. Furthermore, many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures, Stories, songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations(一代), Elizabeth Lindsey, an expert in languages, emphasizes(强调) this. “When an elder dies, a library is burned,” she says.
Also, language death affects our knowledge about nature. Local people often have a deep understanding of plants, animals, and the relationship between them. David Harrison, a researcher on endangered languages, reflects, “80% of plant and animal species(物种)have been undiscovered by science. But that doesn’t mean they're unknown to humans.”
Many languages are endangered. However, it s not too late. Children often grow up speaking two languages. "No one ..becomes richer by giving up… one language to learn another,” Harrison said. If children feel both languages are important, they will use both. So, it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is.
1．How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1?
A．2 B．3. C．4 D．5.
2．In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us_____.
A．how cultures are passed on B．how cultures are discovered
C．why languages are written down D．why languages are important to cultures
3．The underlined word "affects" in the passage means “_______”.
A．waits for B．depends on
C．is different from D．has an influence on
4．Which of the following is the writer's opinion?
A．People need to use common languages more often.
B．The spoken word is more important than the written word.
C．Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying.
D．Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages.

18、Are you happy most of the time? Or do you easily get angry sometimes? Everyone has a different temperament(脾气). It is usually believed that both genes(基因) and environment may affect people’s temperaments in different ways. Scientists have found that the season of the birth also plays a role.
Scientists from Budapest, Hungary, studied 400 university students. In the study, the students need to finish a questionnaire(问卷). The purpose of it was to find out which of four kinds of temperaments they most had. From the questionnaire, scientists found that the students always answered something like ＂My mood often changes for no reason.＂and ＂I love to deal with new projects, even if it is risky.＂These answers were then matched with their birthdays.
They discovered that people born in summer easily change between sad and happy moods compared to people born in winter. Those who always feel positive are mostly born in spring and summer.
The study also found that those born in autumn less probably had a mood ofdepressionwhich may easily drive them to cry, while those in winter were not easier to be angry.
Scientists said that this was probably because the seasons had an influence on certain chemicals in the human body. And the chemicals are important to control people’s moods even in adult life.
＂It seems that when you are born may increase or decrease your chance of developing certain mood disorders(紊乱) ,＂lead scientist Xenia Gonda told the Telegraph.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

1．What probably can’t affect people’s temperaments according to Paragraph 1?
A．Genes. B．Ages. C．Seasons. D．Environment.
2．What does the underlined word ＂depression＂most probably mean?
A．Sadness. B．Happiness.
C．Surprise. D．Excitement.

A．People born in summer change their moods more easily.
B．The season of birth has an influence on human’s moods.
C．There were 400 middle school students taking part in the study.

4．In the following paragraph, the writer will most probably deal with ___________.
A．How many kinds of moods there are

19、Dear Jim,
I’m writing to tell you more about the new form of sharing bike-mobike mentioned in your latest letter.
It’s very convenient to use if you have a smartphone. What you do is to find a nearest mobike through the APP, scan the QR code on the bike, and enjoy your trip.
Compared to other forms of sharing bike, the greatest advantage of mobike is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. It is becoming a new trend as a means of transportation, which relieves the traffic pressure and does good to the environment as well.
Hope to ride a mobike with you in China.
Yours,
