15、Once again, God seems to have put a homeless person in my path. Lately, I have regularly come into contact with people that I just can’t ignore .
His name is Mark and I was surprised to hear that he is only three years older than me. He looks so much older! He was on the counter, asking for money. I parked my car and plonked(砰地放下) myself down on the curb(路边) to talk. People were driving by and looking at us, but I didn’t care.
He told me about his life. How much of his story I believe, I don’t know. He told me he was dying----that part I believe, for he could hardly walk and had trouble catching his breath.
I asked what I could do to help him. He said all he wanted was a slice of pizza. I gave him $3, the only cash I had . He said he wanted to go to get the food himself, but he was stopped from the shopping center for begging. I said I would get it for him and asked if he wanted something to drink .
Then he asked for a(n) ride to the trail in the woods where he had his tent. Usually I don’t give rides to strangers, but this was just up the street, and quite honestly he had no physical threat to me. When we parted, he held my hand for a long time and we just looked at each other wordlessly for a few moments.
At that time, he wasn’t a homeless man and I wasn’t a sufferer .We became just two souls making a human connection I don’t know if I will ever see him again, but I know I will never forget him. God bless you, Mark, and your beautiful blue eyes and gentle soul.

16、The sun gives energy and the earth receives the sun’s energy. The way the earth interacts with the sun’s energy can be displayed in a picture called the earth’s energy budget（预算）. It displays the sun’s energy that reaches us and how much of that energy is taken in and how much is thrown back by the earth and its air. Once the energy reaches the earth, some of it is taken by land and oceans. The amount of energy that is taken in influences the temperatures. The energy that is not taken in is thrown back to space.
Generally, the amount of energy coming in is____the amount of energy going out. So, we say the earth’s energy budget
is balanced. If more ener gy was coming in than was going out, the earth’s temperature would increase. On the other hand, if too much energy is thrown back, and not taken in, we would see the earth’s temperature dropping.
Of all of the sun’s energy that hits the earth, about 67% is taken in by the land, oceans, air and clouds and about 33% is thrown back into space.
1．The picture above shows us how ________ hits the earth.
A．the high temperature B．the heavy rain C．the sun’s energy
2．In the 2nd paragraph, the underlined phrase “equal to ” means “______”.
A．less than B．the same as C．more than

17、What do you usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm? You may blow it away．But what if that insect is a ladybug（瓢虫）? It is possible that you would let it stay．What is it about ladybugs that we like?
Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign．A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good．The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug，but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops．They eat harmful insects．
Actually，it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects．It's the baby ladybug．When the baby ladybugs hatch（孵化），they are very hungry and will eat mites，aphids，mealy bugs，green flies，and other crop-destroyers．In the 1800s，ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects．They completely saved all the trees．
Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything．Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid（液体）．Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead．They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away．
So the next time you see a ladybug，think about what it may be doing．Maybe it is off to save an orange tree．Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or_____a bird about 100 times its size．Maybe it's letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow．Who knows? Ladybugs are special that way．
1．Ladybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to____．
A．add more ladybugs to area
B．report the weather for farmers
C．act as a lucky sign of good crops

D．the baby ladybug mainly eats mites，aphids，mealy bugs，and oranges

18、Do you play King of Glory（《王者荣耀》）? If so，do you like the game? Why or why not?
Li Ming is a 13-year-old student in Shanghai. Since last May, he has spent most of his spare time on King of Glory. "Every boy in my class is playing it, "he said. "Good players are respected."
King of Glory has been a very popular mobile game in China. It has had 50 million daily users. Unlike other games, King of Glory names all of its characters after figures from China's history. "All of them look very cool," said Li. His favorite hero is Jing Ke. "She’s very pretty, "the boy added.
Yes, you read right. The real Jing Ke was a man. In the game, however, he has been turned into a woman. Jing Ke is not alone. Li Bai, as we know, was a famous poet. In the game, his job is to kill the others. China's first known physician(医师), Bian Que, meanwhile, doesn't just cure people. He also poisons (毒害）his enemies.
This has caused a hot debate(辩论). Some parents are worried that the game may mislead their children. An article also criticized the game rewrote China's history.
Others, however, are less worried. They think a game is a game.
The real problem, perhaps, is that there is no game rating sysem（评价制度）in China. King of Glory is designed for people over 16 years of age. According to a survey, however, more than 30 percent of the players are in primary or middle school. They are too young to tell the differences between fact and fiction（虚构）.
1．According to the article, how old was Li Ming when he started playing King of Glory?
A．Ten years old B．Eleven years old
C．Twelve years old D．Thirteen years old
2．What does the underlined word "figure" in paragraph 2 mean?
A．数字B．目标C．影像D．人物
3．According to the article, in King of Glory, Li Bai is a_________.
A．student B．killer C．physician D．game developer
4．According to the article, how does the author think the problem can be solved?
A．By deleting all the misleading characters from King of Glory.
B．By preventing those under 16 from playing King of Glory.
C．By waiting for China to create a game rating system.
D．By including some history lessons in King of Glory.
5．Which of following is NOT true about King of Glory according to the passage?
A．Bian Que in the game has been turned into a woman.
B．All of its characters named after figures from China's history.
C．Li Ming likes Jing Ke in it because she's very pretty.
D．About more than 15 million daily players of it are in primary or middle school.

19、Recently, many schools have offered some specials classes to students, such as photography classes, handicraft classes and tennis classes. But everyone has his or her ideas of these classes.
Some students think they usually don’t have enough free time to do something they really enjoy because of the busy schoolwork. So these special classes help to develop their interests and hobbies. What’s more, they believe they can get more knowledge from these classes. And it can make their lives more colorful. Also, classes like cooking really help to improve their life skills. That’s important.
However, others disagree. They point out these classes are not helpful for their lessons and they are just a waste of time. Some students pay too much attention to these classes. It influences their schoolwork.
In my opinion, it’s a good choice for schools to offer the special classes to us. We can not only learn something different there, but also relax ourselves. But we students should be always serious about these classes and have a good balance between the common lessons and special classes.。
