22．（8分）My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Deni se or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant
that I could not immedia tely identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk（茎，杆）and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment（营养）and growth as well.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.
1、We can know from the first paragraph that ______.
A．the author finished building his home hurriedly
B．the author’s family have lived in this home for nine years
C．the author’s home is made of rock walls
D．there is a wall along the sidewalk
2、The author found it unusual that ______.
A．the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower
B．the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head
C．the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock
D．the Sunflower had started where the stalk was seen
3、Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?
A．Brave and stubborn B．Confident and persistent
C．Optimistic and modest D．Mysterious and devoted
4、What can be inferred from this passage?
A．Human beings are able to remove obstacles
B．The universal truth made the sunflower survive
C．A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower
D．We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident
23．（8分）More than 90 years has passed since Hollywood’s official film organization first proposed plans to build its own museum. Those plans are finally becoming a reality, with the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures set to open in 2019.
The project is underway at the site of a historic Los Angeles department store built in 1939. Museum officials say visitors will be able to “experience the magic of cinema” by learning about all parts of the film-making process.
Film historian Kerry Brougher has been named directors of the museum. Brougher says the museum will include 12 million photographs and 80,000 screenplays as well as props (道具), costumes and other objects from famous films. The Academy Museum will also feature Oscar statuettes (小雕像) donated by actors who won the awards.
Brougher says the museum is designed to make visitors feel like they are in a movie, too, wit h many interactive experiences. “You won’t necessarily know what’s coming next,” he adds. “You’ll be in environments sometimes that make you feel like you’ve gone back to the past and that you’re in the area that you’re actually exploring.” He adds that visitors may even get the chance to walk down a red carpet and accept their own Academy Award.
Currently, Hollywood only has a few possibilities for visitors. They can go along the Walk of Fame and visit movie studios or see the Dolby Theater, where the Oscars are presented. But beyond these, movie fans have limited possibilities.
Eric Garcetti, the mayor of Los Angeles says the Academy Museum will provide visitors the chance to experience many different parts of the film industry all in one place. Garcetti notes the museum will also serve the hundreds of thousands of local people working in film-related businesses. He says they, too, will finally be able to visit a place that celebrates their own Hollywood movie industry.
1、When was the idea of building a museum in Hollywood first put forward?
A．In the 1920s. B．In 1939.
C．In the 1990s. D．In 2019.
2、What can we learn from Brougher’s words?
A．Photos of visitors will be put on display.
B．Settings in the museum will feel quite real
C．Most visitors will be presented an award.
D．Actors will donate much money to the museum.
3、What is Eric Garcetti’s attitude towards the Academy Museum?
A．Supportive. B．Critical.
C．Disapproving. D．Cautious.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Film-making Process in Hollywood.
B．The Film-making Process of Hollywood.
C．Hollywood Making Plans of Film Museums.
D．Hollywood Getting Its Own Film Museum.
24．（8分）Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credit ed to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time.

29、Recently our school website set up a new column called “English Writing” to provide students with the opportunity to post their compositions and communicate with each other. The column not only helps students improve their writing ability, but allows them to develop self-confidence.
The column has many benefits, not least of which is greater access to our teachers. They are often online to offer help to students. When necessary, students can even have a private online chat with a teacher.
The only column rule is that compositions must be about school life. Each month, students vote for the best composition and the winner receives a book.
Hope to read your composition here.。
