the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution

They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here!

"That's because I want to play in the city basketball team," she looked at me and said proudly. "But I'm still not good enough. I must work hard." I was moved by her great courage.

How many of us have reached into our drawer(抽屉)and pulled out socks that didn't match? Will you throw them away like most girls or try to reuse them? The story of Carly and Charley may help you.
Carly and Charley are the girls who often lose their socks. At first, they just matched different colors or styles like some other girls. But most of the time, these socks couldn't match their clothes. So they came up with an idea and started Odd Sox: they collected these socks and gave them away to homeless people. But the problem wasn't solved. They still had missing socks until they realized that they could make a business out of it. So they set up Single Sox: he girls sell socks in packs(包)of three so you can mix and match as you wish. Each pack is super colorful and super inspiring(激励人心的)—Carly and Charley have written words on every sock to encourage girls to celebrate their differences.
And they carry on the tradition of giving back—for every pair of socks sold, they give away a pair to those in need. Nothing is a waste if you have a creative mind.

【解析】【分析】文章大意:我们中有多少人把手伸进抽屉里拿出了不相配的袜子?你会像大多数女孩一样把它们扔掉还是再利用它们?卡莉和查理的故事也许对你有帮助。
短文讲述他们是如何处理袜子的。

(3)词义猜测题,根据they realized that they could make a business out of it可知一开始他们通过售出的袜子赚钱,又根据the tradition of giving back—for every pair of socks sold 可知还是坚持了卖袜子要回报的传统,所以carry on的意思是坚持,继续的意思,故答案是A。

Blue Lightning
Sally loved cars more than anything else. This spring she thought of building a go-kart to enter for the Go-Go Race. So she asked her dad for help.
"Well," he said. "How about this: you do some research first and then come back to me with a design."
A week later, Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad. She named her go-kart "Blue Lightning". Dad looked over her work, thinking. "Well, that's interesting," he said. "Have a try. Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed."
Over three weekends of hard work, Sally turned her design into a real, working go-kart and painted it light blue. Dad asked her to take it for a test drive. Sally agreed.
After she did that, Sally drove back to Dad. "Well," she said. "Now I know why you wanted me to have a test drive."
"Oh, do you?" he said. "Please share."
"When I drove fast, there was a lot of pushback," she said. "I think it's because of the lightning bolt (闪电) shape."
"Very good!" Dad said.
"So, why didn't you tell me about that problem in the first place?" Sally asked.
Dad laughed. "Where's the fun in that? If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. But if you teach a man to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime."
Sally said, "I see. Anyway, designing is half the fun!"
Dad smiled. "Good. Sometimes, learning happens during the process. We learn how to do something right by doing it a few times first and making mistakes along the way."
That encouraged Sally and she worked even harder. When she showed Dad her new go-kart, he nodded with pride.
Finally came the race. Sally wasn't worried about whether she would win—in her mind, she had already won, by building something better than ever before.
(1)Sally thought of building a go-kart to ________.
A. practice driving

7.阅读下面短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.
Venice is in the north-east of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands. Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 177 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go. People in Venice move from place to place by boat. They like to enjoy the scenery and the cool summer night while taking boat trips. They can talk to other people as they go along.
Venice grew out of small islands in saltwater lakes when some Italians escaped from a war over 1, 500 years ago, and built homes there.
Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there's nothing special but when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it's underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.
Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimetres. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋) melt (融化).
Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than half of the city is underwater.
Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy's biggest companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.
(1)According to the passage, Venice is ________ of Italy.
A. in the north-east
B. in the west
C. in the south-west
D. in the south (2)________ have always been the best way to go here and there in the city.
A. Taxis and cars
B. The waterways
C. 400 bridges
D. Boats and rain shoes
(3)Venice ________ small islands in saltwater lakes more than 1, 500 years ago.
A. changed into
B. turned into
C. became
D. developed from
(4)Which is NOT the reason why the city gets lower and lower?
A. The higher temperature.
B. Overused underground water.
C. Too many waterways.
D. The rising seawater.
(5)The passage is mainly about ________ of Venice.
A. the waterways and bridges
B. the MOST project and problems
C. the features and problems
D. the history and scenery

About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to
live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their houses as much as possible.
In 1749, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people for stopping thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were about 120"Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Service was started with about 3, 000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses.
